at his own game of course if you've watched this fight recently then you know that i'm referring to the infamous fart attack god i don't know if my sense of humor is just too different from the average viewer but this was just not my thing anyways for that reason naruto vs kiba earns its spot with a low low grade of a flat d number NUMBER_TOKEN sasuke versus roy leaving the realm of one main character to the next i don't think this placement will be too controversial but i do find it surprising considering just how important sasuke is not to mention how often his fights are some of the highlights of this entire series that said the overall negative outlook i have on this fight is largely due to his opponent yoroy this character is boring in fact probably the most boring of the entire preliminary exams from an uninspired design that he basically shares with his other boring teammate to an ability that presents no visual flair or interesting narrative mechanic this is just a boring fight i find myself wondering if something like knuckles apr in hunter hunter could have saved us here in understanding the plot relevance of eurora's ability i think the ticking clock of an ability like abr creates a much more dramatic and high-stakes scenario than the still position we find ourselves in with geroy holding zasky's head and mindlessly sucking his chakra for a painstaking amount of time i give this fight a d-plus and a thorough skip on any future re-watch number nine sakura vs eno as we leave the realm of deez some may be shocked to find my first ok fight is one that is pretty ubiquitously hated while i understand the general view on sakura being pretty abysmal ultimately the fact that sakura and eno are weak doesn't really matter to me in the context of this fight two weak characters are in fact the perfect conduit with which to give us some of that grounded hand-to-hand combat we all know and love at its best sakura vs ino delivers on some high quality tai chi to choreography and i think sakura's use of clones is pretty clever not to mention the hair trap the eno conducts but while this fight has its highs it's impossible to ignore the fact that more so than any other here sakura vs eno is plagued with flashback after flashback and unlike some of the better fights with more interesting characters the history of these two simply isn't narratively interesting enough to warrant it not to mention inner sakura isn't funny and the fact that it's how she resists enos mine transfer and wins this fight is just so lame for that sakura vs eno loses enough points to get knocked into a c minus and just barely hang above the lowest tier number eight shino versus zaku this is an interesting fight because it concerns a character that i find a bit complex like sasuke and gara shino pretty comfortably fits the mold of a mysterious yet powerful cool guy character he's a man of
