"Gaara vs. Rock Lee: The Power of Youth Explodes!" (我愛羅粉砕!!若さだ!パワーだ!爆発だ!, Gaara Funsai!! Wakasada! Pawāda! Bakuhatsu da!) is episode 48 of the original Naruto anime.
Synopsis[]
After a long wait, Rock Lee is matched to fight against Gaara. He begins the fight by attacking with taijutsu, but his attacks are blocked by Gaara's sand. To bypass the speed of his shield, Guy permits Lee to remove his leg weights. In doing so, Lee's speed increases and he manages to land hits, only to discover Gaara’s body is coated in sand. Opening the first of the Eight Gates, Lee launches Gaara into the air with several kicks. Catching him with his bandages, Lee uses the Front Lotus, only to discover he used it on a Body Replacement Technique.
