Biggest G in Naruto



I'm just going to keep this short and sweet.

Starting with his databooks stats.

As you can see, Gai is a perfect 5 in all areas that he utilizes in a fight, with the exception of intelligence.

Now let's take a look at some overlooked feats.​
Strength: Gai was able to hold his own, while in base form, against the likes of Kisame who is noted to have super human strength

Reaction: Gai has shown to have very proficient reaction speed, as seen here against Obito, an opponent of such high tier.

Stamina: During his fight against Kisame, Gai was able to not only go up to the 7th Gate, but also use Morning Peacock and Daytime Tiger with no visible chakra exhaustion. In addition, while Gai was at his limit,he was still able to enter the 7th gate and fire one last Hirudora


Most notable techniques
Morning Peacock

Morning Peacock, while in CQC, is a one shot move. Though it was a clone, it holds the same body properties as the original body as Itachi explains here Meaning that would of killed the real Kisame (who has shown good durability) if it were to be him.
Morning Peacock could also be utilized in a mid-long range assault with the stopping power to hold back the 6 tails

Daytime Tiger

Gai's most well known technique, is Daytime Tiger. At such a large scale blast radius it is almost impossible to evade. Daytime tiger also has the power capacity to demolish Madaras susanoo



This dude is just filthy, and not someone to take lightly.

The 8th gate hype is really unbelievable to me. For him to unlock strength that's greater than a Hokage is just insane.

Gai is an awesome shinobi however, his skills are nothing compared to the OPness we've been seeing lately.

Taijutsu users are slowly becoming irrelevant unfortunately

Easily top 15.

Obviously that isn't to be taken serious.

I mean...he is low kage level worthy.

I guess you missed the part when Rock Lee kicked right through Madara in recent chapters

1) He was hacked up on Kyuubi chakra
2) That has nothing to do with I said. Kicking a person is just Taijutsu but Taijutsu users have a disadvantage against something like the 1000 hands summoned by Hashi. They got some seriously OP characters and techniques and the emphasis on Taijutsu is greatly decreasing. He is a great shinobi but he's only underrated because of the fact he's associated with Taijutsu

Since I haven't seen Gai's 8th gate (and it would kill him anyway if he used it), I'm going to count seventh gate.

With his seventh gate, I would place him on the level of Kisame, Kakuzu, and Maybe Oonoki. All of which I place as mid s-rank.

So yes, he is very strong. I say top 30 at least, top 25 at best.

You place Oonoki as mid-S rank?

He is definitely not underrated and easily makes top 15 in my opinion despite only using taijustu.

Lol first of all, you're bringing up a technique used by the God of Shinobi, when in fact the majority of the narutoverse are at a disadvantage in comparison to it. Ofcourse Gai doesn't stack up with those of top 5 worthy shinobi. He is underrated because of the fact that not only is he the greatest taijutsu user, but he is the fastest shinobi in the NV after Naruto, Minato, and A. Not to mention he has wide scale taijutsu techniques such as Hirudora and Morning Peacock, with the range of any mid-long range ninjutsu. So no, no major disadvantage of being a taijutsu only user.

I got it from tumblr. They're from the chakara arc.

Top 25 at best? No way. Prime example of him being underrated.
