I read this in two different threads and I disagree. He has feats yes but his greatest attack is a suicide attack.

I dont even think he's top 20. There are many other more well-rounded characters. Taijtutsu is great but it cant defeat all ninjutsu

No he's not top 10 cause the 8th gate should be disregarded, but yeah I say he's in the top 20. 7th gate was enough to briskly hit madara and push him back a little and that's Madara Sama

Yes... Doesn't matter if it's a suicide attack or not. It's an ability that he has that can shatter most of the characters he would go up against. Just because he dies as a consequence doesn't negate its power.

Well if it's battle to the death he'd kill any of his opponent, you saw how he almost killed madara

Well your right but in real logic it doesn't make any sense cause he would die but I guess it depends on how you think about it

Nope I dont count it

8 gate is a tie breaking suicide move.

Kill your opponent but die using the power to do so.

I count 7 gate gai which is def in the top 20.

If the 8 gates wasnt a suicide, then I would put him in the top ten. Because it is a suicide move, I will put him in the top 20.

A top ten is about power. Who has the most of it. To deny Guy's power because its maximum kills him is wrong.

If Gai wins first then die due to feedback. I would say Gai wins the VS battle. I don't care about after what happens since Gai would defeat his opponent. It's not same as Deidra suicide attack, cuz he dies same time as he casts jutsu.

10? No
15? 8th gate no suicide
20? ^
25? Yes 7th gate

W/ Suicide attack would be around 7-8 in top 10

It doesnt really matter how long after he dies. He still dies. That makes it same category as Deidara in terms of consequences

10? No
15? 8th gate no suicide
20? ^
25? Yes 7th gate

W/ Suicide attack would be around 7-8 in top 10

^^^I pretty much agree with this

I'm not calling Gai weak but come on....there is a lot of ninjutsu in NV that's way too OP for someone who's limited to taijutsu

You can't discount an ability or mode just because of the consequences. That being said idk. He's probably close if we disclude all the SO6P family stuff, but if we don't hes not. Kaguya, Hagaromo, Hamaru, Indra,Ashura,Madara,Hashirama,Naruto and Sasuke all take spots in the top ten before we even get to anyone else.

But if we get rid of Hagaromo's direct family, he might be a fringe top 10 canidate. He is best taijutsu specialist in NV and Footspeed is unmatched.

7th gate Gai is a beast already. 8th gate alone places him without a doubt in top 10..
