I dont understand why people say Eighth Gate Gai...He is not a separate character or a power up he can maintain for that long.
Gai is not a top 10 character. With the Eighth Gate, sure he can kill a bunch of characters in the top 7-15 range but that does not make him overall a top 10 character...Gai is good for 1 fight against the top 7-15, while characters like Minato, Tobirama, Hashiram are good for all 7-15.
If we put Gai in a tournament containing these characters...Sasuke, Naruto, Hashirama, Madara, Obito, Itachi, Kakashi, Hiruzen, Minato, Tobirama, Jiriaya, Oro, Tsunade, Kabuto, 3rd Raikage, Muu, 2nd Mizukage, Mei, Gaara, Ay, Killer Bee, Onooki, Nagato...Thats 24 combatants...How likely is that Gai will make it to the finals...How likely is it that he even passes the first round? The strongest person would win this tournament...We would then remove that person and start a new tournament...Would Gai win that one? Absolutely not...We can repeat this process over and over but Gai isnt winning anytime soon. To even compete with these characters he needs to go 7th Gate, and to kill any of them reliably he must go 8th Gate thus losing the tournament due to him dying...How can you be a top 10 character and cant even win a tournament. That is how you judge the best of the best. Not one single fight that you must kill yourself to win(draw)...In sports its done by regular seasons and then expanded upon in playoffs. Boxing and UFC, almost the same process..
Overall Gai is not top 10, while in 8th Gate I guess you could say he is but thats not all of Gai, just a fragment of his whole self.
