Personally I love this fight, drags on a bit but Neji's great, for me i find Kiba's fight the most boring one but that could be because I don't really like Kiba.
Brady
Very very true!
Brady
Yeah I honestly would’ve been fine with it if he died (which kishimoto intended for him to)
Drew
Such as shame that Neji barely got any screen time after this…
Joey
Idk I really like this fight I love how the kept constantly analyzing each others moves and skills and I do think he took a lot of damage but I feel like u can see him push through all the pain it caused and it made sence for him do “die” at the end from the injurys

I don't think it was far-fetched that Kidomaru managed to find Neji's blind spot. With every projectile he threw, he gathered more information about where the blind spot might be. He carefully adjusted his aim, testing different areas until he confirmed the exact location. As Neji pointed out during the fight, Kidomaru never wasted an attack, always using them to gather information. This approach was similar to how Neji and his team identified the weak spot in the dome they were trapped in by observing how quickly each part repaired itself. In the same way, Kidomaru could pinpoint Neji’s blind spot by watching his reaction times. As for why Neji was able to last so long, it makes sense that a master of the chakra system like him could deflect or redirect the projectiles to areas of his body where they would cause the least harm. Additionally, it’s possible that Neji deliberately exaggerated his injuries to make Kidomaru drop his guard. While Neji had little chance of winning the fight, he adopted a similar strategy to the one Naruto used when they fought. That’s why he was having flashbacks—he never gave up and waited patiently for the right opportunity to strike. This was significant character growth for Neji, who previously believed that strength alone determined victory, but now realized the value of perseverance and seizing the right moment.

Oh yeah for sure it’s not bad, and I think if they ever remake Naruto it could be pretty good! The execution just feels off
Andrew
Especially when you already know what’s coming
Andrew
I think it’s rated a low fight cause everything is so much better but definitely could have been worse
Brady
My mom doesn’t read the Patreon comments feel free to talk spoilers!

Oh to answer at the very end, Neji and Choji were the ones I liked most, plus the first bit of another fight I cant say anything on yet ;) but the rest of the crew i thought their fights were 'just' alright

dang i never noticed how much they experimented with 3d rendering on that last episode. Nejis blindspot was like a generic video game rendering of him, but the feather falling at the very end, for the time, looked pretty good for a random 1 time use in the naruto series and still did here!

haha when you were 64 palmsing each other, reminded me of when you said in an earlier react that your brother would always do nejis 64 palms on you. I used to do the same to my little sister, as well as the same rapid pokes for byakuyas bankai from bleach loool
