Spoiler alert, the next episode for Death Battle is Sanji from One Piece vs. Rock Lee from Naruto. This was a community death battle topic. It also was a huge request from their fans. Honestly, as much I'm happy to see Sanji on their show. This is a horrible stomp in his favor that's not going to make a lot of people happy.
Hello everyone I'm Jack Red, the upcoming episode of Death Battle is going to be Sanji vs. Rock Lee. Basically One Piece vs. Naruto theme episode. I will not be reviving prediction blogs. Instead I figured to be even more direct with my arguments. So I figured to showcase a lot of his feats in most categories to help give an idea how much of a mismatch this truly is.
Now it's time to directly show off my arguments.
Please look at all these feats before my actual arguments. From that point, you'll see how I am viewing this fight or at least I hope so.
All of this are from post time skip. I also needed it for further comparison reasons. Let's just say it quickly becomes mind blowing.

Now keep in mind, this isn't using any non canon feats. One Piece manga is still ongoing while Boruto also going on as well. Naruto manga ended a few years ago. I hate to say for a while, Rock Lee got pushed to the side for remainder of that manga series. I focus on feats that should counter most likely arguments someone going with Rock Lee could have.
Sanji constantly has proven to be strong enough to knocking giants off their feet. He also shown to be constantly fast as well. He may not look like but he's one of the smartest members of his crew without question. Sanji also an expert on stealth having to learned it from his child hood back in Germa Kingdom.
Even if Sanji doesn't use haki to increase his chances at winning. His Diable Sambe is capable of bypassing his opponent's durability. Now throw in his own armament haki into the mess, Sanji could easily break Rock Lee's blocks with ease. I shown proof that Sanji can use Observation Haki. This ability can see things easily miss or even invisible to people even in someone else's body.
I also proven that Sanji can tank some serious force himself. Even at one point, a device using the same force as his kick got used on his face. Sanji also can easily take the fight into the air greatly limiting what Rock Lee could do. Let's be honest, for someone whose about getting close. It is a horrible idea against a guy who can kick even giants and buildings.
Not to mention, Sanji also survived 10,000 meters depth in the ocean itself. He chose to move outside a bubble created to prove him and some of his allies from the water pressure. He was able to handle that pressure to a degree. This alone limits how much force could Rock Lee potentially use against him. Yes, he could use six of eight gates.
However that will come at the cost of his life. Especially when he opens one too many forcing his death to happen. Sanji also has strength feats that relates to lifting things like a massive wedding cake. For those that doesn't know huge cakes can weight a lot of pounds. Your standard big size cake can take a small group of people to carefully move it from point a to point b.
The other problem is cakes can easily break. So the fact Sanji was able to kick such a massive cake into the air without any notable damage in itself quite impressive. I know someone is going to bring up Rock Lee's destroying an meteorite. Sadly, that wasn't done just by him. Which can be tricky to determine how much force Rock Lee himself actually done to that meteorite.
Rock Lee himself lacks much usage of chakra in ways most shinobis can. Which does greatly affect his overall potential. Now before torches comes out, Rock Lee does technically have a leg up in terms of being more trained in hand to hand combat. Which actually came in handily for him a few times. But Rock Lee has no counter for Sanji's haki.
Let's be honest, Sanji can easily caught up to Rock Lee's weakness to quickly take advantage of it. Simply having two different ways that can be combined to increase damage while bypassing durability is a huge advantage. Rock Lee has to rely on jumping constantly in hopes to try getting close to Sanji. The problem is Sanji also can attack from a distance including from the air.
Which would make Rock Lee's chance of doing anything serious slim to none. Sanji also comes from a scientist background in comparison to that of a shinobi for Rock Lee. This chef has shown his intelligence from time to time in ways you wouldn't expect. Sadly, Rock Lee isn't very bright to begin with.
Sanji also can attack from under the water too. Which would make a water battle another bad idea for Rock Lee. Not to mention, Sanji can also jump similar to moving in the air while under the water. Obviously, making Sanji a lot faster under the water in comparison. We haven't even talked about his raid suit yet.
Haki can be use to track fast moving opponents even if they're invisible. Even without knowing how to use haki, Sanji defeated an invisible man before. Sanji's raid suit turns him invisible, I listed a feat showcasing it. Believe it or not, Sanji was also trained for stealth missions at a young age. He quickly got to Luffy while he escaped from the mirror world to avoid an ambush waiting for his captain.
This cause confusion how did they not get Luffy? Keep in mind, Luffy was wore out from fighting sweet general Katakuri that took hours. I am saying Sanji actually better at stealth which is a more common trait of a ninja. Sanji once used knives against a chef as if they were swords. Which confirmed Sanji was also trained to use weapons.
The more I look at this particular fight, the more obvious Rock Lee is in trouble. There isn't much he could do to someone like Sanji. In fact, Sanji had much more character development in his story. Which is likely due to the author of Naruto trying to end Naruto manga series. I should also point out, Rock Lee doesn't use weapons much either making his style of combat even worse here.
I know someone is likely going to disagree with me. Sadly, fight debates are something that doesn't necessary have proper endings. But that doesn't stop shows like Death Battle from doing em. Even if they're massive stomps like this one. My point is no matter what Rock Lee does, Sanji can end the fight at any given time he wants.
Beautifully written! Completely agree with your points, Sanji stomps.
ReplyDeleteWOW, I was expecting a Naruto fan to rip into me before a pleasant comment. Thank you so much man, I knew just enough about Rock Lee. Some of my friends actually knows him better. I know Sanji very well to put up my arguments. A slight chance I might do this one more time for a particular versus debate.
DeleteI really hope they don't screw it up and make Rock Lee win, because meteorite be big and such,they did a lot of mistakes from time to time while analizing, every single feat a character has, I do like Rock Lee, he's my favorite Naruto character, but I like Sanji more andI hope he does win, and this feats you shown me gives me a little more hope, amazing job man. Wonder you'll do for other fights as well
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I felt this worked way better than me fully doing prediction blogs. I may not necessary be a Naruto fan. Especially how some of those fans treated me on Hiei vs. Sasuke long story. But I do confess, there's a few Naruto characters I like with only Kakashi being the only one they done. I'm a huge One Piece fan for a few years now. I really can not get enough of it. I respectively done all of this by myself. I even had a few people told me that they agree with me. I know versus debates can get ugly. Hulk vs. Broly got really ugly with me. I deeply pleased to hear you enjoy what I written. I would even say you help made my night no lie.
DeleteI really did like your information, I have encountered a lot of people saying that One Piece characters can't scale to Naruto, with no arguments at all.
DeleteI did think of a lot of reasons to why Sanji should win and most of them appear in here, and much more than I remember, I think you missed to put that Sanji was able to be underwater with no oxygen for a long while while ighting Kuroobi, but doubt they would make at any time a fight undewater with these 2.
Hope to see more of this prediction battles in the future, and hope that Sanji wins in the end
True, there's a few feats of his aren't on here. Like attacking Oven so fast, he just knew it wasn't Pound who attacked him. There's also blocking that genie's attack that previously destroyed a lot of ships just from the air pressure. I recently wrote one for Mysterio vs. Scarecrow if you're interested. Power scaling can greatly differ depending which franchise you're looking at. I actually got some nasty things said to me on YouTube by Sasuke fans. In the end, I was right that Hiei was going to win. I wrote a prediction blog on that fight too.
DeleteHey you know, it's the Internet in the end, besides why do people take it so seriously, it's not even official, is just speculation of who will win in a fight, alsoafter this fight comes Broly (DBS) vs Hulk, which Broly will win hands down (I think so).
DeleteSo don't know if you have anything to say about that fight as a whole.
Truthfully, yes I got a lot to say about that. A fight debate that haunted me for years. I will be making a post about it very soon.
DeleteLooking forward to it
