What episode is "Fight! Rock Lee!" in Naruto Shippuden?
"Fight! Rock Lee!" is episode 228 of Naruto Shippuden.
Guy trains Lee in a novel martial arts technique aboard a boat, helping him overcome seasickness while developing unique fighting skills through perseverance and mentorship.
Might Guy tells Naruto of the time he gave Lee "visualization" training following an incident he didn't clearly remember except a severe apology to a restaurant owner for damages to the establishment. With a blurred memory, he improvised training techniques that Lee believed would rejog muscle memory off a list of circled items on a menu he took from the restaurant. With the last entry being alcohol, Guy tries to avoid having Lee learn the Drunken Fist fighting style by instead having them train on a boat in rough waters. Like Guy, Lee also suffers from seasickness but is able to balance himself on the boat, a feat which resembles Drunken Fist. During an emotional soul-baring moment from Lee, Guy remembers Lee devastating the restaurant in an accidental drunken state when protecting Guy from a drunk trying to dine and ditch. After he and Lee make amends, Guy helps Lee develop the Sea-Sick Fist and is confident that Lee will one day overcome his seasickness to master the technique. Naruto pokes holes into the practical use of the Sea-Sick Fist.
