The voting for Narutop 99, the Naruto 20th Anniversary Character Popularity Poll, ended. While the overall results are being counted, the official Naruto website opened another special poll allowing fans to decide the Naruto series’ best battles.
The campaign, which called “Naruto Best Bout,” will run from March 13-24, 2023. The voting page lists a number of the most iconic duels across the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden anime series. It doesn’t appear to include any anime-original fights and also seems to be largely focused on one-on-one duels, with one exception.
Here are the current contenders for the Naruto best battle title Narutop poll.
Note: The list below may contain minor spoilers for events in the Naruto anime and manga.
- Rock Lee vs. Gaara during the Chunin Exams arc.
- Neji Hyuga vs. Kidomaru during the Sasuke Retrieval arc.
- Sakura Haruno and Chiyo vs. Sasori during the Kazekage Rescue arc.
