Part 1 Sasuke (No curse Mark) vs Part 1 Neji: Who wins
- Thread starter DragonSJG
- Start date
Neji stomps. Pre-mark Sauce got no-diff'd by weighted Rock Lee at that point and Neji was even stronger. Is this how you do this?
sounds like an excuse to be lazy and not fill-in the eyes, I'll fix this one too
I may be misremembering but wasn't Neji's rotation equally clashing with Naruto juiced up with Nine Tails chakra(albeit not with any tails)? If he can block that, he could block the chidori if he's on his guard. Especially if Sasuke is just going to run into him in a straight line like with Gaara.
Sasuke gets his ass beat.
Well, what would really happen is that they'd give him some sharingan bullshit ("omg he just opened up his partial mangekyo sharingan the byakugan stands no chance against this advanced shinobi technique!!!!") and he'd squeak by.
Giving ZERO BUFFS to the byakugan is such a dumb decision. Like what are Neji and Hinata supposed to do when the Uchihas can summons mechazords out of their eyeballs?

Sasuke only has the Chidori as his real advantage, and Neji can prevent that with the Gentle Fist. So the fight is heavily in favor of Neji.
They made him the only Jonin and everything yet he still ain't do shit, tragic way to treat what used to be my favorite
Bakugan: You can see chakra points and have x-ray vision
Sharingan: You can see minute body motions, cast illusions, call forth black fire that burns everything, as well as summon a mecha suit. Also you get one BS ability that can range from permanent brainwashing to literally distorting reality. Also you can upgrade your eyes to Rinnengan (God eyes) by using Senju chakra and still keep your previous abilities.

That's cool and everything, but Part 1 Sasuke ain't doing all this.
I dont remember; did Neji get a 1v1 fight in Part II? I recall his dad getting Edo Tensei'd, but that might have been an anime addition. Neji losing relevance so much in Part II is a shame
Without plot armor that would be Neji. He's just the most technically skilled of the gang at the time (besides Rock).
THOSE EYES AREN'T FOR US THEY'RE FOR NARUTOsounds like an excuse to be lazy and not fill-in the eyes, I'll fix this one too
During the same time frame that Naruto fought Neji, Sasuke takes this. Sasuke would be much faster than Neji and his taijutsu has improved dramatically from when he and Lee had their small fight. On top of this, if Sasuke uses it, the Chidori is an attack that boosts speed and penetration.
Yeah, Sasuke wins.
Yeah, Sasuke wins.
That's great, so when did he do this during the chunin exams?
Nah. I was just pointing out how Kishimoto did the Byakugan dirty.
In theory Neji. He more or less had HnK powers but rarely got to use them. He killed Kidomaru (that spider guy) in one attack with them, and Neji was half dead at the time. The whole chakra sealing pressure point pokes is a flex. If someone with the Byakugan doesn't want to bother with it, they just place chakra into your system and explode your organs.
But in practice Sasuke will win somehow, I dunno.

Is this pre or post chidori training with Kakashi? He went from being stomped by Lee to beating gaara after that. Post chidori Sasuke stands a good chance. After that training he was as fast or faster than Lee, and lee admitted that Sasuke had copied his taijutsu after seeing it. Chidori is a stronger Jutsu than Neji could handle at the time. Only hope is Sasuke jobbing and letting Neji close hos Chakra off during some early clash.

It's weird because at the point of introduction, the Sharingan is figured as being a derivative of the Byakugan. And like, it makes sense within the initial framework of the series - the idea being it's a further mutation that changed the focus of its analytical abilities, the Sharingan being more optimised to know an opponent's abilities in depth, the Byakugan focusing on physical space. But as Sasuke's role in the story escalates, what the Sharingan is capable of escalates, and it's then framed as an opposite versus the Rinnegan instead. So the Byakugan just gets left behind not only in material importance, but also as a vestigial piece of worldbuilding - and no, the Tenseigan shit doesn't really help
Neji would DESTROY that boy.
Premise of the thread is part 1. Neji clears Sasuke at that time. He was the strongest of the leaf genin outside of the transformations Naruto and Sasuke could use.
