Theoretically at the 7th gate he should be the strongest. It's always been my view that Gai is the most efficient user of chakra in the manga. This is because chakra is a natural resource utilized by cells in the body during cellular respiration. Infusing chakra into modern ninja techniques is, by comparison, inefficient in terms of (results/chakra used).

The problem for Gai is there aren't any feats that directly document his strength, in terms of being able to lift or throw heavy objects. He does have extreme muscular control of his body, being able to perform the Asa Kujaku which, during his last fight with Kisame was around 500+ punches at supersonic to hypersonic speed (this is the speed required to allow enough friction with the air to produce the flames and the sonic booms associated with the technique). Also, he has been shown to have enough strength to jump right up into the clouds using just his leg muscles and cover a fairly large distance with the sixth gate.

Hirudora's ability to deliver a powerful shockwave through a fair distance of water, render a powerful ninjutsu technique null, annihilate all surrounding clone entities, and have a strong effect on the environment (a distinct shockwave that enveloped the entire island) emanate directly from one simple body movement. Obviously an insane amount of strength is required. This can only be achieved by inducing the 7th gate.

Strongest is Tsunade. The fastest is Minato, Naruto, or Ay. Gai is definitely a beast though.

I love how people take one look at the thread title and put Tsunade is strongest and Minato is fastest without looking or reading the thread.

I believe that theoretically, Might Guy in the 6th/7th gate is stronger than Tsunade. Though his speed is left to be speculated, I use this to determine how fast he probably is.

(BTW speed means the ability to physically carry oneself over a set distance in a certain amount of time, meaning NO TELEPORTATION)

Remember Lee speedblitzing Gaara in the Chuunin exams? No one could even follow his movements and that was Lee back when he only opened the 4th gate and only had a 4 in speed at that time.

Guy on the other hand has a 5 in speed and can open the gates all the way to the 8th gate and considering a person's speed increases EXPONENTIALLY with each gate opened, I would say that Guy's speed would be at or surpass even the raikage's and Naruto's KM/BM speed at around the 6th or 7th gate. The 8th gate would definitely make him the fastest and strongest man alive for however long the 8th gate will last.

I think Naruto in biju mode holds these spots. The logic you gave is flawed. Hirudora is a 1-shot. Therefore, he can only make an attack that fast and powerful once. It's much more powerful than what he can do normally in 7th gate.

gai is fast in the 7 gates but do not forget minato and naruto. Naruto uses raw speed which is faster than gai's and raikage's teleportation jutsu. Minato on the other hand uses teleportation justu which is faster than all of the above. ( naruto, raikage, and gai ) So the fastest in the world are Minato>Naruto>Raikage>Gai in the 7 gates.
just shut up

technically yes Lee and Gai might be Physically the strongest and fastest (without Ninjutsu enhancements).

Everyone has these Gate limiters in their body, Limiting their real strength, Unlike Gai and Lee they cannot remove these Limiters so they can never reach their bodies full potential.

Meaning unlike Everyone else, Lee and Gai are fighting with almost 100% muscle strength.

Gai isn't the fastest, but he's right up there. Naruto and Minato are much faster.

And on the strength matter, no. Physically speaking, Tsunade is still stronger and so is SM Naruto.

At base level i would agree with this. But with gates activated it has never been said whether he is faster or slower, I would be prompted to think that with gates open Gai is the same speed as Naruto KM, which we all know is faster than 4 Raikage and Minato.


But I think the 3rd Riakage could take a kick from Gai

Raikage is a big meathead that can body flicker. Big deal. He has to be motionless before he he can zap in to attack at full speed. Gai can maintain his unhuman speed all throughout combat. Raikage just puts lightning chakra into his nerves. Gai actually amplifies the output of not just his nerves, but also his muscles and brain - to near maximum capacity.

He is for sure strong for taking down kisame but he is neither the strongest nor the fastest. Minato is the fastest and the 3rd Raikage is the 2nd fastest. the strongest would be a tough choice its between Obito and Hashirama in my opinion but not Gai.

I am going to agree with this statement...Read the first post people; just read...
How come people come into conclusion of "much faster" when it comes to km Naruto?

Guy is not the strongest or the fastest without the gates. However with the gates he certainly is up there with the like of Minato, Tsunade and the Third Raikage.

Okay, let's solve this.

Gai is -not- the fastest in Gates since Minato and Naruto are fastest.

Being the -strongest- is debatable, but remember a Gate-less Gai was destroying large rocks with his nunchuks, tearing them to bits.

I would say he is above Tsunade seeing as how his fist creates a giant tiger.

He is definitely the faster when it comes to attack frequency, meaning he can launch 100 fists by the time Naruto launched one.

Morning Peacock shows just how fast his strike speed is.
