Moustache Gai for real! There was a fanclub created on the Narutofan forums called the “Moustache Gai” fanclub where they drew a random moustache and slapped it together in photoshop….and perhaps a member of the Naruto animation crew who can actually read English was one day browsing the forums…and that’s how this episode was born!! Basic summary is Lee decides to create a dojo to fight opponents to improve his training. He almost drags Naruto into it, but Naruto runs into Gai-sensei who says he will help and he “disguises” himself by putting on a moustache and fro. Then the animators decided to try to make a plot and added some “spy” who disguised himself as Gai (but filler enemies just never learn *see the previous GaiLee episode filler), got his ass kicked by Lee, and then disguised himself as Lee only to get his ass kicked by Gai. The highlight of the episode was probably when Naruto temporarily disguised himself as “disguised Gai” and then used Kagebunshin and transformed into a bunch of Sakura’s that promptly kicked Lee’s ass.

The only other notes for this episode is they changed Sakura’s voice actress. I didn’t check the credits but unless she’s been smoking crack, that’s not her. I wonder if that’s the reason why Sakura’s almost never in the fillers? Her seiyuu is too busy with something else?

Upcoming Attractions: A repeat of the ghost warrior arc but this time with Hinata & Kiba instead of Team Gai. Oh fun.
