Yeah Bruce lee is dead, he and his son angered the anchient chinese who threatened to send demons after him and his son. Both died in very bizarre fashions.... Well as long as rock doesn't go teaching kung fu and Jeet Kun Do and anger the Hokage or whomever in the process im sure he'll do okay. Oh and GAI wtfpwned Kakashi, its pretty obious how, Gai is the Kakashi antithesis. Taijutsu beats the bejesus out of Sharingan due to kakashi being unable to keep up with Gai. As for the rock paper scissors they were trying to convey that both Rock and Gai were both Hot Blooded, and gai so much so that he kept track of menial things like game of bo wan po or whatever the japenese call paper rock scissors. Lastly you are all forgetting that Rock is a genious maybe not an obvious one but Gai and Kakashi both stated it as such. Sasuke is a genious and he lost to Lee i don't think the issue has to do with either sides of the scale. The metaphors used in the begining of this thread are poor because the reader probably hasn't read the manga and has a limited understand of writing because its pretty obvious that Lee will return. Hard work brings sucess but it does so slowly and sometimes at high costs.

As a side note its nice to see something besides the same old same old threads in repetition. Its actually interesting to read this thread.
