you guys and your "Maddy isn't even trying" BS. Madara IS trying! That's the whole point of his excitement. Why can't you understand that? He is enjoying the fight because he has the opportunity to test his new power pin someone he deemed worthy since Hashirama. Just loiik at him in the this latest chapter. Both he and Gai are bloody pulps.
Gai may not be stronger than Madara as a whole, but with 1 forbidden tech and pure taijutsu skill he has done more damage to Madara then the rest of the Narutoverse including Madara. Everyone else has used forbidden techs on Maddy as well even before this form and they didn't do nearly this much damage. And Gai still has another attack, so stop with the 1 attack like no other shinobi has ever done 1 attack over and over to defeat an enemy before.
Deidara suicide bomb has been used in many threads to prove how powerful be is, so why is it when Gai does it, it doesn't count?
Like it or not, suicide move or not, Gai's taijutsu and mastery over Hachimon makes him
top 10 material. Simple as that.
