Choji is a member of Team Asuma and is known for his big appetite and rotund figure. In this episode, he battles against Sound Village ninja named Dosu, who has a unique ability to create powerful vibrations with his gauntlets. Dosu's attack leaves Choji in a bad state, but he manages to overcome his injuries and rise up to the challenge. Choji takes a special pill that increases his strength and size, but it also puts him at risk of dying.
As the fight continues, Choji's physical prowess becomes more apparent as he creates a dent in the ground after landing a powerful blow on Dosu. However, Dosu is not a simple foe and uses his sound gauntlets in a unique way to counter Choji's attacks. This forces Choji to use his ultimate move called Butterfly Mode, which he learned from his father. In this form, Choji's entire body becomes enlarged, and he gains powerful wings and antennas on his forehead.
The butterfly mode causes Choji to emit a bright light, which is seen from afar and attracts attention from other shinobi. Choji's team captain, Asuma, arrives at the scene and notes the intensity of Choji's powers. What started as a fight between Choji and Dosu quickly escalates into a full-scale battle, as both sides are forced to use their most powerful moves. The battle is not just physical as they also engage in some verbal sparring, with each side trying to gain a psychological edge.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Choji's butterfly mode takes a toll on him, and he starts to experience some side effects from the pill. Asuma and the other members of Team Asuma come to Choji's aid to help him recover from the battle and deal with the aftermath. Meanwhile, the Sound Village ninja regroup and make plans to continue their attack on Konoha.
Overall, Full Throttle Power! Choji, Ablaze! is a thrilling episode that showcases the power and resilience of one of the series' most beloved characters, Choji.
