Lol 8th gates is part of Gai's arsenal..whether he dies or not..if it's capable of making him above an opponent is what matters..RDS?..pleasee...let's talk about how MS users are supposed to be blind with continuous use of their eyes
But everyone is exhausted after a fight like that. While you do realize Hashirama had no intentions of killing Madara until the very end, while the later had intentions of killing Hashirama throughout the whole fight..
But nowhere is it stated he would have died lol. Obito simply wanted to get to him before Naruto and Kakashi could. And also, its more like Itachi let him win. However, Sasuke was the winner and the one who forced Itachi's death.
You seem to believe collapsing = dieing.. while that is against any fighting logic.
And you do understand that Gai's opponent is the one who caused Gai to use the gate of suicide right? Gai didn't plain out say hey i can beat this guy without suiciding, but i'm still gonna commit suicide just to take him down.
Also, for Itachi.. people can say he had a disease thats why he died and so on. But Sasuke is the reason Itachi died at that time. Otherwise Itachi would still be alive, though in a bad state.
It's a hypothetical battle. It's exactly the same how we don't factor in battle wounds after a battle ends. After one's dead, the other's declared a winner.Except we aren't talking about battle wounds, We are talking about Suicide techniques , Abilities that specifically kill the user once executed.
And that's a completely separate case. Minato using FTG and RDS at the same time is like a person using Katon and Suiton at the same time.Ftg is an ability that doesn't require seals. You can use two abilities at the same time, we 've seen Sasuke using Susanno and amaterasu, as well as many other ninjas doing similar things
Holy crap, I wasn't talking about how Madara would survive RDS. I was talking about how Madara ends Minato before he can finish using RDS.Once again, ridiculous, The death god is a spiritual entity, according to the databook, not made of chakra. Like dan's soul, it would be able to easily go through physical objects
Except that it's a fate sealed by the user himself. It's completely in his hands, and like I've mentioned before, it's still a hypothetical battle, a battle that doesn't consist of little conversations and all the other things in a battle in Naruto. The winner of the hypothetical battle is decided by who dies first, hence why we don't factor in what happens after the battle.
I really don't think you're getting the point .
I don't care if Minato gets destroyed before he uses rds. As far as i'm concerned, Sure, there might be ninjas who can do that. Just like there might be ninjas who can destroy guy before he enters the Gates. That's not the point. The point is that once you use a suicide technique and it's sucessful in killing your target. It doesn't constitute as a win, It's a draw. Since the postrequisite of the technique itself is DEATH
