Why Sasuke Lost to Rock Lee—Even With the Sharingan

Sasuke could read Rock Lee's movements. So why couldn't he stop them—and how did he later use Lee's style against Gaara? This Naruto analysis follows three turning points in Sasuke's Chunin Exams journey: his first defeat against Lee, his adaptation of Lee's opening move into the Lion's Barrage against Yoroi, and the training behind his speed against Gaara. The key is the gap between seeing a technique and being able to perform it. The Sharingan gives Sasuke a powerful learning advantage, but his body still has to keep up—and a copied move still has to work against the opponent in front of him. Which reveals more about Sasuke: losing to Lee, or what he does with that experience afterward? Share your take in the comments.
