Neji's defense vs Gaara's defense..

[Gaara77demon]

which is better?

i was watching the neji vs naruto fight and tenten said neji is better than Gaaras?!:cry no way!:mad i mean no one can get through gaars sand!

So whats everyone elses opinion i think a neji vs gaara should happen:notrust lol

[competitionbros]

Gaaras can be broken by speed, Neji's can't

[TenshiOni]

Tenten stated straight up Neji's is superior because it blocks and parries.

But really, they both utilize their respected defenses so well it's hard to pick one over the other.

[Aecen]

Neji's requires conscience to use, while Gaara's is automatic, even if hes knocked out it will defend him.

But power wise Neji's seems to be more protective.

[Azurite]

Nejis defence is like a torando thingy. and Gaaras is like a sheild :amuse

Also, Gaaras denfence is on constintly but Neji has to build up chakra for his defence :amuse

Building Chakra---->:kaiten :Gaaraball<---- Automatic

[Shinkirou]

If we're talking just the defense and nothing more then Gaaras defense is better since you wouldn't need to know someone was attacking you in order to block it.

[Neji]

Neji's kaiten works as a defense and can apply damage at the same time. Gaara for the most part only works as a shield. It can be applied as a weapon as well, but Neji's utilizes more damage in the long run

[escamoh]

like tenshioni said...ten ten said neji's is better

[Finn Mac Cool]

If Gaara and Neji both put their defenses up and were each attacked by opponents of equal power, Neji's defense would probably fare better, especially since it can reflect damage back at an opponent. However, Neji has to willfully put up his defense, whereas Gaara's sand shielf is automatic, and his sand armor can be left on for long periods of time, so Neji is more vulnerable to surprise attack's (like Naruto's underground uppercut). There's also the fact that it looks like Neji uses a lot of chakra in his defense, whereas Gaara's sand shield, at least going by characters' comments, has a life and chakra of its own, independent of Gaara's, so Gaara can defend himself without using up any of his own chakra. I'd say this gives Gaara's defense an edge.

[Panic Attack]

Garra's is better...it has more applications and is automatic.

[~Zaxxon~]

Neiji's Defense > Garra's Defense

[NinjaStrike77]

8 Trigrams Palms Rotation hands down.

One question, which defence was Ten Ten talking about the sand shield or the sand armor? Because remember what Kankuro said about the armor, that its one big weak spot and unlike the sand shield it can be broken and it uses a tremendeous amount of chakra and it takes its toll.

[KazumaSakuraUchiha]

i would think nejis defense is better, but the real questions is which will last longer? garras doesnt cast him much chakra, as its done automaticaly, but how long can naji really keep his up? if they were to battle neji would have to finish garra off quickly otherwise garra will have the upperhand in the long run....just my opinion :)

[Colonel Angus]

Sure, Neji has to willfully to the 8 Triagrams.. but he also has near 360 vision with the Byakugan. So it's not like there's much he's not seeing.

If you were to compare them long range to short range, that would be a little different. Against long range attacks, Neji would eventually run out of chrakra. In short range, as shown, Gaara's automatic defense can be passed by with speed.

[Himura Battousai]

gaara all the way like ikazuchi said it is better because it can be more verstile than neji's and he does not even have to move a figer to use it

[Pyocora Analog III]

Gaara's defense is better. If Neji ran out of chakra, then he couldn't use it anymore, but if Gaara ran out of chakra, the sand will protect him anyways.

[~Hyuga~Dragon~]

Well Gaara's does seem easier to use but if you're fast enough, like Lee was, you could break thru it and attack and it wouldn't be able to counter. Though Neji's Byakugan allows him to see exactly when and where his opponent will attack him and so he can also counter well, but i think that if somebody who was faster than Lee attacked him, Neji would have some trouble too. So all in all they both great defenses :kthumb

[Smokes]

Gaara's is automatic, but it is slow, so that can kind of defeat the purpose. Therefore, I think Neji's is better.

[Sub-Zero]

Neji's is better. You can break through Gaara's, but you can't really break through the byakugan...

[Allah]

Gaara's is better by a mile. Maybe Kishimoto initially intended for Neji's to be better, but as we can see in Gaara vs Kimimaro, Gaara's is indisputably better.

[earthshine]

Garaa's has the only real ultimate defense in the series.


garaa's defense needs no chakra or effort of any kind, while neji can only use kaiten a certain number of times before he runs out of chakra.



neji's defense is stronger, but it can be worn down, garaa's will stay full power no matter how many times you come at it.

[Shinkirou]

The thing is, with enough speed you can just bypass the Kaiten too. If you hit him with enough force fast enough you should be able to knock him off balance and prevent him from spinning.

Note that i'm only talking about the defense, not anything extra (byakugan).

[starblade876]

Plain and simple: Neji's is probably more powerful than Gaara's (i.e. it can probably block stronger attacks). Gaara's has practically no limit on using it. The better reaction time probably goes to Neji's (Gaara's sand shield was bypassed by Lee without any Gates, but, supposedly, Lee needs to open a few to get to Neji). And, of course, Gaara's works unconsciously, so it's harder to catch him off guard (even with the Byakugan Neji can still be caught off guard).

They both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Gaara's is better by a mile. Maybe Kishimoto initially intended for Neji's to be better, but as we can see in Gaara vs K_______, Gaara's is indisputably better.You do remember that was a different move than the sand shield, right?

[LamManJR]

well lee is ridiculously fast and there probably no other character that is as fast as lee and so well adapt to taijutsu as lee except for gai, so its going to be hard to find another person fast enough to be quick enough to be able to move around gaaras defense and if lee open up gates and were to unleash ownage on neji, how long can neji use his defense, i mean gaaras defense is always on.

[naruto`321]

gaara's sand sheild is useless if you are fast but nejis whirl cant be beaten by speed.

[rasengan231mb]

no gaara's defense is much better than neji's in the long run
neji is one of my 2 favorite characters but his kaiten is only effective when given enough time to start spinning, that is one reason naruto was able to defeat neji, he caught him not ready and neji didnt spin very much

gaara's is involuntary and protects at all times

my vote goes to gaara in terms of defense

[Colonel Angus]

Gaara's is better by a mile. Maybe Kishimoto initially intended for Neji's to be better, but as we can see in Gaara vs Kimimaro, Gaara's is indisputably better.

Who's Kimimaro? Remember where you're at

[Shinkirou]

He's somebody that hasn't been shown in the dub. I doubt that its counted as a spoiler just saying his name but people still need to watch what they say over here because anymore about him would be counted as a spoiler.

[Colonel Angus]

He's somebody that hasn't been shown in the dub. I doubt that its counted as a spoiler just saying his name but people still need to watch what they say over here because anymore about him would be counted as a spoiler.

Highlight my whole post. :wink

But yeah.. even naming names in here is no no.

[Repstorm]

Neji's defense is better for parrying strong attacks but he has to be aware it is coming. Gaara's is automatic and the sand shield defense doesn't use up as much chakra as kaiten. In a fight I would rather have the sand shield since speed is the one of the few things that can beat it. Anyway, the sand sheild's speed is proportionate to the person's strength. So when Gaara gets stronger his sheild will become faster.

[Demon of the Hidden Post]

Nobody said Neji has to spin. He simply blocked Naruto's punch by emitting chakra from his body. Neji also can rarely ever not see something coming, so it blocks most projectiles there. The spinning just helps melee attacks and deflects the foe at himself doing damage. And it doesn't use up as much chakra when you are an expert at releasing chakra like he is. Even being able to release chakra from that many points means you're an expert.
Gaara's is also formidable. It can be done independently and is very resistant to attack. This shield is also his weapon, like the Rotation. only great speed breks this primary defense but a secondary sand armor protects the user from physical harm until the sand catches up. The sand shield's true strength is revealed when he fights Sasuke, though. So for now I say Neji.

[Shinobi_God]

which is better?

i was watching the neji vs naruto fight and tenten said neji is better than Gaaras?!:cry no way!:mad i mean no one can get through gaars sand!

So whats everyone elses opinion i think a neji vs gaara should happen:notrust lol

Lee got through Gaaras defenses he cracked his face

P.S.
Yeah I know that was his sand covering him

[Panic Attack]

Neji's is shit compared to Garra's....i'd explain but spoilers are not allowed. So all the little kiddies who aren't up to date have to deal with it.

[theCommanderCardinal]

Since Gaara has his ultimate defense protecting him sans any chakra output, in comparison to Neji having to exert chakra from every chakra node in his body while spinning around, I'd have to say Gaara is the best and most efficient(wouldn't Neji get all sick and dizzy trying to keep up that defense?).

[Nicky The Ninja]

Neji's requires conscience to use, while Gaara's is automatic, even if hes knocked out it will defend him.

But power wise Neji's seems to be more protective.

[BigGameJuice!]

I think Neji's is better because Gaara's D can be broken by speed

[Saosin]

Gaara's .

[ITACHUKE]

Personally i would say Neji's is better by far no one has broke Through Neji's defence yet Sasuke and Rock Lee found a way round Gaara's

[MangekyoMaster]

although gaara's sand shield might be better in the long run, with neji there won't be a long run. it can deflect as well as block.

[Shinkirou]

Nejis defense is only truely effective when coupled with the Byakugan, but if we're only counting the defenses and nothing extra then Gaaras is easily better. Not only is it automatic and seems to drain 0 chakra, but it can easily make a transition between defense to offense in an instant.

[Azure-kun]

defense wise I'd chose Gaara since his sand can attack just as quicklly as it defends.

[MethaneNoJutsu]

Gaara's is better by a mile. Maybe Kishimoto initially intended for Neji's to be better, but as we can see in Gaara vs Kimimaro, Gaara's is indisputably better.



Ummmm... if Kishimoto intended for something to be better... then it is better?

[DynamicYoshi]

defense wise I'd chose Gaara since his sand can attack just as quicklly as it defends.
I agree, plus theres the chance he has more sand to work with

[Finn Mac Cool]

The spiked shell of sand definitely gives Gaara's defense a few extra points.

[Steven Pinhead]

Neji's takes a lot of chakra.

Gaara's doesn't.

Neji has to raise his.

Gaara has one he doesn't have to, one that is very fast, and one that fends you off if you try to attack.

There is a to stop Neji's defense. (Kunai with wires to stop rotation.)

Gaara's strongest one can only be broken by A-rank jutsu.

[Natural]

Gaara's defence is better, but Neji's is still pretty decent. I'd be happy with either to be honest.

[starblade876]

I think we're pretty much sticking with the Kaiten vs regular shield of Sand because, defense-wise, Gaara probably has the most techniques so far.

We're also not taking away Neji's Byakugan to compare since we're not taking away Gaara's sand. :oh

After the next episode, one might need to wonder how Neji would stand up against what's coming. I personally think he might be able to defend against it completely if it were coming at him.

[killer_konoichi]

I think Gaara's would be best. You have to remember that both Neji's and Gaara's have both been gotten through and when Tenten stated that Neji's was better then Gaara's she did not no of Gaara's Sand Sphere. Naruto got through Neji's by power and Sasuke got through Gaara's by speed, even though they are both supposed to be absolute defence.

I think there should be a Gaara VS. Neji as well. I was takling about that to my friends the other day, because one of my friends think that Gaara would when but I reckon Neji, since Lee did say that Neji was the strongest Genin in the Chuunin exams.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

Gaara has the ultimate defense. Not even Neji's Kaiten can surpass Gaaras sand defense and heres why. A skilled fighter who is good at long range techniques could clearly see Nejis blindspot a mile away and use it to their advantage. All they have to do is send an attack in that blindspot and Neji won't be able to dodge it if the opponent has him occupied with another attack. Gaaras defense has no blindspot and im sure that the stronger he gets the faster his sand sheild will become. But the stronger Neji gets his blindspot won't dissappear.

[Neji]

It was clearly stated Neji's was better........hey wait i posted here already :nuts

[starblade876]

I consider the sphere of sand Gaara made different from his regular defense. I can't spoil, so we'll see. Also, Lee said Neji was probably the strongest genin in Konoha, not of all the candidates.

Actually, if Gaara were in the same situation, I don't think he'd be able to counter any fast powerful moves that might come his way since he can't see where it'd be coming from. I don't think I can explain without spoiling, so, hopefully, you understand. Also, someone who has a weakness might be able to overcome that weakness if he knows about it; it'd still be there, but he'd find ways to compensate for it if possible and he worked hard enough.

[Supreme Alchemist Fan]

Sad thing is we won't make it to where we won't have to use spoilers for atleast a year.Looks like things may stop at ep 67 and we'll take another long break.

[Sasukes boo 4 life]

I think that Nejis defense is better than Gaaras, because its powerful...

[Ma-Duece]

Both are powerful with respect to eachothers traits and skills.

[Spell]

Neji's takes a lot of chakra.
Gaara's doesn't.

actually that's not true. Kankurou stated that this defence consumes a lot of chakra

[maxshino]

nejis defence can be easily penetrated by exploiting the existence of teh BLIND SPOT!!!!!!

[Ma-Duece]

Thanks for the reminder risu. I completely forgot that.

[MangekyoMaster]

actually that's not true. Kankurou stated that this defence consumes a lot of chakra

actually that's only true for his sand armor, which is different from his ordinary defense.

[Steven Pinhead]

*Looks at forum title*


Guys...does the english section even know about the Byakugan's blindspot?

Facts of Gaara's defense:

Sand Shield
The sand in his gourd is enhanced by leftover chakra from the blood of slain enemies. It therefore takes up none of Gaara's chakra to function.
It's not rediculously fast but is stronger than 10 mm of steel

Sand Armor
Takes a lot of chakra, great physical burden, can be cracked, but sits in place for an encompassing defense.

Sand Sphere
Doesn't take a lot of chakra, but confines you to area of the shell. Extremely dense and has an offensive spike reaction. Mostly a set up for a particularly nasty transformation.


Facts of Neji's:

Rotation
Uses up a lot of chakra, reverses force sent against you, very effective coverage due to Byakugan.


I'd say:

Rotation=Sand Sheild

Rotation>Sand Armor

Rotation<Sand Sphere

[J6sh]

Neji can only use his for a certain ammount of time, and seeing as Gaara's defence has many levels, I would have to say Gaara has the more powerful defence.

[cha0s]

gaaras. he doesnt have to do anything. if neji kept having to use it, he'd get tired or run out of chakra, because he has to spin a bunch of chakra all around him

[chesterbean]

Neji. He was only hit with his guard down. Garra was hit by Lee, Sasuke, and Naruto.

[Ventrolt]

Gaaras can be broken by speed, Neji's can't

Thats not true, Gaaras sand defence can only be broken by a powerfull attack such as Chidori/Rasengan.
Even so, they are not enought to get Gaara on his knees (i'm not shure about rasengan, rasengan is more powerfull then chidori but i dont know if even that would be enought to get trought and kill/beat Gaara. )
:)..
Neji though he use a trumendus amount of chackra
that makes him almost unbeatable for a short while BUT that makes Neji unable to keep the defence upp for a long time and if i guess right now, Neji wouldnt be able to stand against even 1 chidori or rasengan.

Well then you havent seen even a little of what Gaara is capable of ^^

(I guess smile-big becous if you had seen what he is capable of you would never even doubt in his defence :wink )

This is info about Gaaras def.

First he have that loose sand that fly around him and protect him from projectiles like daggers/throwingknifes and such. And also against strong and fast meele attacks.
:sandspin

Second is the hardened sand, He makes a big ball of sand and make it harden with his chackra, This def, is almost undestroyable, though Chidori and Rasengan can get trought, but the dmg done by that kind of attack is reduced ALOT from the hard surfice of the sand.(more like stone actually).
:Gaaraball

And third we have his ULTIMATE def. This is a protection he uses in emergencies (IF someone would be able to get trought his two other armors).
The def works this way: He makes a shell around his whole body that have the same shape and same looks like his own skin, but there is a diffrence, this armor is alot harder then his skin xD.. But it is still weaker then the Secon armor. And it drains alot of his chackra.

And he have even one more def that you will lurn about when you have seen some more Naruto Ep's.
:sandsib
Hope you liked my info :)

Chidori :kkchidori Rasengan :narsengan

Questions? ask me ^^

[BakeKitsune]

omg kagero spoiler alert

[killer_konoichi]

I consider the sphere of sand Gaara made different from his regular defense. I can't spoil, so we'll see. Also, Lee said Neji was probably the strongest genin in Konoha, not of all the candidates.

Well, if they were the strongest of the Genin in Konoha, wouldn't they also be the strongest candidates?

[milkshakes]

Neji doesn't really have a defense. he just has kaiten. Gaara can block mostly everything. gaara would pwn bad.

[Rezo]

Despite the fact that Gaara's shield is automatic, Neji's Hakkesho Kaiten is superior for the mere fact that it simultaneously blocks and parries attacks.

[Steven Pinhead]

Block and parry mean the same thing. Block and reverse is what you want to say.

[Steven Pinhead]

[stormofnova]

defence wise, gaara's because his sand dont need any chakra or control to defend him but yes it can be broken down by speed. so gaara has his own super defensive orb-like thing that wraps all around him, making it impossible to penetrate

but counter wise i think neji's is better. because it also deflects the opponents attack and does damage to the attacker. it consumes chakra quite a bit so it's not perfect

[Lone_Shinobi]

Neji's defense is an advanced bloodline thing, so its more special then Gaara's sand. Neji's defense is 360 degrees and can see enemies way a head of them. But Gaara's defense can respond faster then Neji's and also Gaara's is automatic so even if Gaara passed out, the sand can still probably protect him, unlike Neji's

.......so.......... Neji's defense < Gaara's defense

[N.P.G]

Well.Neji's Kaiten is better since, It can't be broken, Gaaras can.Gaaras Sand armour uses chakra as well as Neji's Kaiten, they are almost equal.

[united]

with no doubt gaara. he can use the sand in every form and situation. neji can use it only in a sphere.

[JessieB]

Neji's defense is awesome. So is Gaara's but let me put it this way....aside from the 3 sand genin, the sand village Shinobi suck XD I can't say much yet, since it hasn't gotten that far in the English version, but just watching the way Gaara fights can tell you that he doesn't train often :/ He's so used to just being super strong that he's surprised when others are strong. Make sense? Neji trains constantly and his speed is amazing. He would totally beat Gaara's defense.

[Gaara322000]

Gaaras defence is automatic nejis defence takes chakra but is strong and also counter an attack as well as block attacks

[Kyon]

Neji's defense is good. Very good. However, it isn't automatic and takes up chakra. Gaara's defense is automatic, can only be broken through insane speed and a powerful thrust, and takes no chakra.

Pit them against the same attacks in a gauntlet, and Gaara will last longer.

[cunnyfunt]

Utility wise, Neji takes it. It can be used offensively as well as defensively.

Gaara's is merely a shield. But its auto and (arguably) uses less chakra than Kaiten.

[The Truth]

Gaara's is automatic, so thats what makes it better. I mean having it ensures that Gaara will never have to dodge a kuani in his life.

[Ninja Chuchan]

Yup i say Gaara's defence is way advanced then Neji's

[Franklin Stein]

gaara can defend and attack at the same time and he has his inpenirable defence of sand so gaara owns

[kimetara]

From what I remember of the manga, Neji's defense cannot be sustained for a very long period of time. Gaara's lasts indefinitely and can attack while its defending.

Also, both of their defenses can be defeated by speed--too fast for sand to react, too fast for Neji to start spinning. I'd guess both of them could also be broken by a strong attack, since a shield of chakra should still have an upper limit on how much it can take.

All in all, I'll have to go with Gaara.

[hyuuga_neji14732]

Nejis defense is stronger and deals alot of damage but can not be sustained for long while Gaara's is automatic and consumes no chakra

[tsunade1095]

I guess in a way they r pretty equal. Neji's can defend against almost any attack, but garra's sand can't keep up with speed. But then again, garra dosent even have to anything and neji uses up chakra.

[Jenna Berry]

Gaara's is better.

[00raikiri00]

I say that gaara's is better. You all keep saying "speed can easily bypass his defense like lee did" but no normal person can have gaara's speed.

[durtycheese]

i like gaara's def better.

[Hokage Mech]

Neji's is better but over a long period of time it would were him out and he would become tired from using to much chakra, Garaa can be defended by his without using his chakra but the only thing is that his can be defeated by speed. Also another downfall of Garaa's defense is that it can be pierced.

so i say Neji's defense=Garaa's defense

[Yellow]

If you are comparing their defense in a fight against each other gaara would win because neji would run out of chakra and gaara's defense would always work. If they are fighting another person then neji would be better for a fight that he can quickly win but gaara would be better for a longer fight.

[zaiigoukyou]

like tenshioni said...ten ten said neji's is better

Ten Ten said Neji's defenses is superior to the sand armor not the sand shield. To further prove this point:

Neji's absolute defense
+ Can parry attacks
- Has a blind spot
- Uses alot more chackra
- Its not automatic meaning Neji can be caught off guard by attacks like Naruto's underground uppercut

Gaara's absolute defense
+ Automatic
+ Has a chakra of its own so it won't burn up Gaara's as much
+ Has no blind spot
- With enough speed and power can be overcome.

[Lunar88]

Gaara's defense takes very little chakra, Neji uses his as his trumph card which takes a decent amount of chakra and its not constant like Gaara's. Also, Gaara's sand can turn from a shield and crush his opponents, it blocked liked 20 paperbombs, and he can use it while in the air and can make it unbelivebly thick with spikes. I say Gaaras defence is better.

[Tousen]

Tenten stated straight up Neji's is superior because it blocks and parries.

But really, they both utilize their respected defenses so well it's hard to pick one over the other.


yea i know i must be crazy for quoting a mod...cause hes probably been here from the beginning...but im going to have to disagree with him on this

just because tenten said its superior doesnt mean its superior...besides she only practices with neji..so its not like she can actually compare whose is superior cause she really doesnt know.

and i know i am a gaara head so im going to have to say gaara's defense is is better then neji's and the reason i say gaara is because not only because its a complete shield but at a blink of an eye it can become the best attack weapon....and that right there gives him the advantage...he can block and attack at the same time...as neji all he can do is block..and he uses too much chakra in his move





hope i made sense to everyone

[Shirozaki]

Gaara. Automatic shield, great offence+defense.

[Damoss]

Gaaras defence in general?

Well if you count it in general, you have the waves of sand that protect attacks, his armour of sand and also that ball of sand Sasuke impales with chidori.

Nejis is a release of chakra from his body in all directions to parry attacks.

Gaara

Waves of sand: No chakra needed, can be beaten with speed, can be used subconciously.
Armour of sand: Lots of chakra needed, can be beaten with power, can be used aswell as waves of sand.
Ball of sand: we do not have much evidence of this apart from that it is super strong defence and also performs attacks in the shapes of spikes and can be impaled by chidori.
(Please note these are not the jutsu names, these are merely descriptive names.)

Neji

Byakugan: seems a little impotent apart from the fact nothing at all can hit him during it.

So in conclusion, Gaaras defence is more versatile and is constant whereas Neji's is more defensive but cannot be used as often.

So Gaaras overall.

<resist>You do not realise how close i was to posting spoilers about ultimate defences.</resist>

[yondaime the 4th hokage]

gaaras defence wins.

[dodgekfc]

garras defense is way better than neji

[Sōsuke Aizen]

gaara's defenses are better.

[xiaojiang]

Neji's defense is better but in the long, Gaara defense will win.

[Velvet]

both are good

but Gaara got the best defense ever =3

[Lawliet]

Neji's defensew has never been broke nGaaras has, so the vicotr is bovious

[Grimmjow]

Neji's defensew has never been broke nGaaras has, so the vicotr is bovious

wrong

kidomaru stopped neji rotation and found out the weakness to nejis eyes.

gaara defence is better

[Animefan19]

Neji's requires conscience to use, while Gaara's is automatic, even if hes knocked out it will defend him.

But power wise Neji's seems to be more protective.

i agree with this

[Dark fox]

Gaara's is weaker but automatic
Nejis's is stronger but not automatic

Nejis = better/stronger
Gaara's = More Convenient

[chaosas]

I think Gaara's is stronger and better :P It's automatic, while Neji needs to spin his body, that's probably more tiring.

[ekisupo]

wrong

kidomaru stopped neji rotation and found out the weakness to nejis eyes.

gaara defence is better

they are only for his sands though.

[master bruce]

gaara''s is better becuase it uses less chakra.

neji kills himself everytime he kaitens.

see how tired he got rieally quickly yet gaara can defende for long periods of time just by standing still as long as he has chakra, which he does because his defnse doesn't use much.


in a fight though neji would crush him.

[Tunafish]

Gaara. He can also change the density of his sand to increase defense. And it barely uses chakra and energy. The sand protects automatically.
FTW!

Neji... Rotation takes a lot out of him. He also had a weak spot before, remember?

[SamRH]

I think Gaara's defense is much stronger than Neji's...

[Haze is Dreamin']

I would rather have Gaara's its automatic.

[Sοra]

yea its true nejis defense>garras defense

[☆Northstar☆]

Gaara's defense is better.

[Scrungie 1]

Gaaras defence is better because he doesnt have to do anything and it uses less charkra. BUT Neji definately has a more powerful defence that nothing can get through it just uses to much chakra so can only be used for a short time, and the reason neji uses kaiten is because it protects his blind spot! that was the the point, so kaiten doesnt have a weak spot.

[RyRyMini]

Although Gaara's may be more useful, Neji's has never been broken through while Gaara's has.

[kazukiUchia]

Gaara's hands down Neji at his best could maybe keep up his defense for 10 min.s Gaara can keep his up countinuosly plus Gaara rules Neji sucks.

[Zaphkiel]

Neji has to get tired sometime, and once he gets injured in those areas badly, like enough to incapacitate him, he's gonna go down. You gotta knock Gaara out, or kill him first.

Actually if you knock Gaara out he will continue to be gaurded

[ZigZag]

Well since Neji's has to make his defenses and Gaara doesn't have to do anything he could just stand there, well I say Gaara's is a lot better..

[Mi'-Ka-Si]

Gaara's because he doesnt need to use chakra and he does it automatically

[Aina]

They are both really great, its hard to choose over which.

Since Gaara doesn't have the sort of defense he did before and has to do it manually, I'd say they are equal.

[SasukeUchiha05]

Gaara doesn't waste chakra with his defence and neji does so thats enough said

[BanjoKazooie]

gaara, he doesnt have to think about his defense, itll just happen

[SasuxNaru1]

:)Gaara's is better by a mile. Maybe Kishimoto initially intended for Neji's to be better, but as we can see in Gaara vs Kimimaro, Gaara's is indisputably better.
u right in gaara vs kimimaru he made a big shield around him and rock lee and kimi was a offensive type and he still couldn't break through it

[animea90]

Gaara, Neji can be blind sided while Gaara cannot. Plus Gaara's ultimate shield is impenetrable to anything less than a chidori.
