How does dancing around it help him again?
If it doesn't hit him, it won't hurt him. That's how it helps him. How exactly does it help Sasuke by not landing, if that's what you are implying.

He hit Madara with the initial 5 steps, and then hit him some more given their worsened conditions, and Madara saying "Good, the evening elephant isn't enough"
Nope. He started the technique twice. I don't see why he can't do the same with his other techs.
And your neji example is bad since each set has its own name. 2 palm, 4 palm, etc.
Where as 1 direct hit of ee is still considered ee.

That shouldn't even be questioned, since he proceeded to a more strenuous technique after using ee.He started it twice but didn't finish it twice. I'm not saying he can't use AT twice consecutively. I'm questioning whether or not he can.
Each hit is still considered ee. Where's only the last set is considered 64 palms. The previous sets are 32,16,8,4, and 2.Each EE attack also has it own name, step 1, step 2, and so on so not sure where you're trying to go with that.
Dear Lord, TheInvisibleman is really denying Manga facts...Madara outright said it wasn't enough and he was completely in a different state from before..so was Gai as well as Kakashi and the others. Where Minato went is irrelevant when Kakashi was there to warp if that's your excuse for Madara covering himself when he did attack Gai ..Manga said it wasn't enough as Gai already resorted to a stronger techniqe. Hence it's not only factual that he used multiple EE, it's silly that he used something weaker when Madara survived his direct punch
Gai was able to pop out a Hirudora despite being at his limit against Madara. Gai was able to use Evening Elephant multiple times against Madara.

Regardless if Gai could use Evening elephant after Afternoon tiger, he still had a major drawback after firing that afternoon tiger that Jin Madara was about to exploit if Lee didn't came to save him
Sasuke wins.
He was reacting to V2 Ay's speed and strike, and was able to construct Enton defence at the right time. Gai hasn't shown anything close to Ay in speed department. His feat with Madara isn't even worthy, given he got stomped seconds after. Hirduora couldn't kill Kisame (inb4 he didn't want to kill him, because there is no implication states Gai can control the raw power behind his attack, when it was the size of Island Turtle), and reconsider Hirudora under water is much stronger than Hirdudora on air, due to water being denser and creates stronger shock-wave. Not to mention he can't maintain 7th Gate for 1 minute, without having to exhaust himself later on.
What did gai do before he fought Madara his last attack was hirudora and that was before the juubi came out he was replenished multiply times by kurama cloaks etc.
Something that seems to be overlooked kurama explained that Kakashi was only able to warp gyuki because he had left over chakra from him
Nice try, but Hirudora doesn't use chakra, there is no way for it to be powered up, not to mention being in the Kurama Avatar or having contact with it=/=Being powered up by Kurama. I bet if someone tried to use this argument you are using, to say that Sasuke was empowered by Naruto when he used PS, you'd be calling BS on it.and gai was in The kurama cloak during Bm first usage and had contact with kurama's chakra prior to that time meaning his hirudora attack power would be increased.
8 gates was his last stand meaning they're was no turning back after it so ofcourse he would push his absolute limits even at this risk of tearing his own body into pieces
After he went out of Gates he was weakened, not after he used Hirudora. Not the same thing. The only other times he was weakened was when he used it at his limit, and when Madara knocked him on the ground.where is hirudora is one single attack and everytime he used it in the manga healthy or not he fell to the ground or was weakened severely.
It was never implied he can use it more than once either.
Enton won't do anything unless it's strong enough to do so, which it isn't.Right Hirudora = Focused wind pressured nothing but fuel to enton.
Regardless if Gai could use Evening elephant after Afternoon tiger, he still had a major drawback after firing that afternoon tiger that Jin Madara was about to exploit if Lee didn't came to save him, so firing AT is all good, but Gai should pay attention to the drawback of his gates against someone like Sasuke who can fire supersonic arrows at any time if Gai even left one opening. The Afternoon tiger always come with a drawback. The first thing Lee said when he saw Gai(after the battle against Madara, Obito) in a poor condition is that he used afternoon tiger and he knows his master better than anyone
I know he hit Gai with the initial 5 steps. What I don't know is what happened off panel with them while the fight broke off for Naruto to talk to his spirit daddy. Gai wouldn't have landed the last attack (the fastest one too, weird right?) if Minato and company didn't assist him in making the hole in TSB shield (he would have touched the shield and got himself erased) so how did Gai alone manage to hit him more off panel when all Madara had to do is wrap himself up so Gai can't touch him? Unless Minato and company repeated that same combo again to let Gai hit him (which they didn't because apparently Minato flew to his house and took a nap) I don't see how Gai managed to hit him with it more.

I think he got some chakra from Kyubi or healed when the alliance came at some point(not sure though) even before those events, but i guess you're right with the Kisame exampleThat was guy's second AT in 1 day and the 4th time he opened gates in 1 day.
AT dosen't have drawbacks if done by a fresh guy. We seen this in his fight vs kisame.
Ah you're right, i just re-read the fight against Kisame. Looked relatively fine after firing that and even instants after. Seems that the drawback only started long after that, so he can probably fire multiple hirudoras while still in the modeThat was because Madara countered with his staff and knocked Gai on the ground (Hence his broken ribs) not because of Hirudora. We've seen a perfectly healthy Gai use Hirudora, and he was perfectly fine until going out of Gated Mode.
And yes, if Gai is in Base, in a poor condition, then coming to the conclusion that he used Hirudora makes sense, because his strain is from Hirudora and being in the 7th Gate, not just from Hirudora, otherwise he'd be weakened right after using it, which he has never been unless attacked, or already weak.
Gai was able to pop out a Hirudora despite being at his limit against Madara. Gai was able to use Evening Elephant multiple times against Madara. Using more than one Hirudora isn't an issue
Kurama's chakra can't heal the physical strain of gates.I think he got some chakra from Kyubi or healed when the alliance came at some point(not sure though) even before those events, but i guess you're right with the Kisame example
Especially considering the fact that against Kisame, Gai used Hirudora with zero drawbacks until way later after the fight, and maintained the 7G with no problem or sign of fatigue - not to mention that was immediately after using Morning Peacock on a huge scale. But of course, that get's disregarded every time by the same clueless clowns that know nothing about anything in regards to Gai and like to exploit war-arc events when he was already exhausted past the point of being able to stand on his own in a failed attempt to prove he can only fire a single Hirudora and hold the 7th gate for a minutes time.

It's all rocket science though.
What he did before is irrelevant. Gai looked to be at his limits by appearance alone. Does that look like someone who's at full health to you? Obviously not.
It's not overlooked. It's irrelevant here.

Irrelevant. The fact he can use a much stronger jutsu in a much stronger, and much more dangerous state, means that he easily uses more than one Hirudora.
After he went out of Gates he was weakened, not after he used Hirudora. Not the same thing. The only other times he was weakened was when he used it at his limit, and when Madara knocked him on the ground.
It was never implied he couldn't, and there's evidence that he can, based on his stamina.
Enton won't do anything unless it's strong enough to do so, which it isn't.
Kurama's chakra can't heal the physical strain of gates.

Heck even rikudo naruto with the seal can't heal gates if the #of gates is too high. It's been over 10 years but guy is still in a wheelchair.
Guy pushed to the upper levels of gates 4 times that day.
First to surprise obito with 5th then upped it to 6 for asakujaku.
Second was straight to 7 for Hirudora on madara's susanno
Third was with lee against the juubi
Forth was madara.
Then after that despite ripping his muscles apart 4 times in a single day and breaking multiple ribs against madara he pushed out the 8th gate to use ee at least twice then night moth.

Uh why are you bringing Rikudo Naruto here? All what he did was to stabilize the chakra in his heart. He didn't heal his physical state and never implied or showed the capacity to do so(reason why Obito died/couldn't be saved)Kurama's chakra can't heal the physical strain of gates.
