Is it possible for Lee to surpass Gai now?

[Sageflash]

Gai, with recent showings, has proven to be top 10 material with Eight Celestial Gates. He's pushing a Juubi Jin with Rinnegan and SM to high diff and kicking his face in pretty well. And Gai still has trump cards yet to show in Night Moth.

Can Lee surpass that kind of power?

 

[Matt]

I'd say anyone with the 8 gates can but at this very moment no

 

[GloriousTrainwreck]

Eventually he will. It's why Gai has trained him so extremely all these years.

He Will surpass Gai, but considering a scenario both are not using their suicidal tech or both are using their suicidal tech.

So it will be like 7th gate Lee > 7th gate Gai for ex.

 

[Konohas Yellow Flash]

I still think 7th gate gai is top 10

He Will surpass Gai, but considering a scenario both are not using their suicidal tech or both are using their suicidal tech.

So it will be like 7th gate Lee > 7th gate Gai for ex.

I wonder if Lee has any sixth gate attack akin to Asakujakuu. That would place him atop the K11 lists for sure.

gai had natural talent for taijutsu, lee had no taijutsu skill whatsoever as stated by gai along with ninjutsu and genjutsu, yes lee can get there with hardwork but gai had natural talent for it and hardwork.....natural talent+hardwork=gai.....hardwork=lee

Despite manga's main theme, I don't think Lee is going to surpass Gai...

Well Gai uses midnight elephant despite opening 8th gate first time.

Lee did not open 6th gate first time in current battle; gates are limit removals for allowing someone to use certain techs. For ex. Lee knows how to throw a punch but his punches at base state can not produce flames due to lacking required speed and strength. With removing limits; he earns such speed and strength, So he can use Asakujaku.

 

[Red Beast of Konoha]

He will eventually

 

[Funky Tiger]

He should. That's the whole point of all of this.

I'm more inclined to say this, sadly. Gai's feats are unreal and even 7th Gate Gai is a powerhouse and Hirudora is OP as hell.

Lee has a long road ahead of him if he wants to beat Gai. Gai had exceptional taijutsu from the start so it's like the other post said Gai = natural talent + insane hard work and with Lee it's just insane hard work. Sort of at a disadvantage. But you never know, Lee just might need more time to open the seventh and eighth gates than Gai.

 

[Cursed Prince]

Not unless he uses the 8th gate

 

[shishomaru 21]

yes, and it will be one of kishi's greatest ass-pulls of all time, remember when tsunade operated on lee? she said if the operation was a success he would be able to mold chakra. I think kishi is gonna use that some how to allow lee to open the 8th gate without dying. but we'll see

 

[Simbv]

Hypothetically speaking, yes. But not by the end of the fight with Madara.

 

[Isa Claire]

Yes it Certainly is!

 

[Tobi98]

Of course, he's the genius of hard work after all

 

[Gaara327]

Hell yeah!!..with his level of determination and hard work he's bound to surpass Gai

 

[BraveStorm]

Damn.. i feel like Lee will be my favorite character if he becomes like gai.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Lee cannot surpass Gai if he dies soon.
