    Whats up with that turtle?

    You know, the turtle in Episode 22, the one that stops Lee from using Secondary Lotus on Sasuke? Is that Gai's summon? Like Kakashi's dogs or Jiriya's frogs? I mean, Whisky Tango Foxtrot mate?

    Hmm...I really don't know. It's a mystery, how can a turtle become ninja he can't comment seals...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

    Turtles are just as awesome as Gai and Rock Lee themselves. They all blow away people with their awesomeness XD

    RE: Whats up with that turtle?

    we discussed this not too long ago......i said before that it could be 1 of 2 reasons

    1) irony....or perhaps a method of making a contrast, between gai and his insane speed and the speed of a turtle
    2) symbolism.....in the tortoise vs the hare...the obviously more talented hare was beaten by the determined tortoise....just like how lee vs neji and gai vs kakashi follow the hardworking vs genius scenario

    Maybe Gai has good defense? Like how he learned to guard against the sharingan?

    It's not really a defence, it is more like a technique he learned.

    actually it was a defense against the hypnotic power of the sharingan

    Hmm...I thought it was just Kishimoto paying tribute to Dragonball Z or something.

    RE: Whats up with that turtle?

    i basically agree with what assertnfailure said

    and maybe, gai knew lee would be up to something, so he summoned the turtle to watch over lee in case he tries to do something stupid
