What are you talking about? Gai shot Hirudora underwater. It was weakened due to the fact it had to travel under water and then again through a massive shark.
Yes, he did fire it from underwater, I reread the passage and I agree with that statement.
Now logically, that shouldn't be possible without a massive chemical reaction that separates hydrogen from oxygen resulting combustion that allows air pressure to build up from nowhere. I mean from whence did Gai get all of this air whilst underwater?
No it isn't.
The first time it was used without intent to kill, underwater, and traveled through an enemy technique before colliding with the target.
The second time, it was used while in a terrible physical state. He was restrained and he used it after over a day of fighting nonstop.
The third time he used it against the Naruto-world's equivalent of God, and it was blocked. You can't gauge its power based on its performance against Juubi Madara.
So what you're telling me is the author has used this move three times and only three times in the entirety of the manga and at no point intended us to see how this technique actually affects a person? Correct? Because it's performance has been identical with each usage if anything we can say that Gai was weakened but the technique was at maximum effectiveness at each usage. That seems to be a more reasonable conclusion than the above.
And I'm not gauging it's power based on its performance against Juubi-Jinchuriki Madara. I didn't mention that Madara only slid back. I only talked about the effect the technique had on Gai as he had his technique come back on him. And that is perfectly fair game.
Fact: Gai and Hachibi were restrained by Mokuton.
Means nothing. Further, I forward the one-inch punch to posit that short distance punch =/ = full power punch. He was stationary due to Mokuton, but that's all this fact means
Fact: After sending Madara flying, the Mokuton's grip was noted to be weaker.
has nothing to do with destroying Susanoo. Irrelevant red herring
Fact: Next time we see Madara, Susano'o is inactive and he is sitting down, surrounded in rubble.
Still not proof of anything. As Madara was casually laying his head against his hand. And Madara literally sat down and waited for Hashirama because he'd be bored playing with the other shinobi. Madara sitting out of boredom is well documented.
It's pretty obvious he broke Susano'o.
That's an inference you can draw, but with the evidence available you can't say such a thing.
Unless of course you want to go with him deciding to deactivate Susano'o for no particular reason and sit down on a rock.
any particular reason for him to continue to sit? Or for him to sit down and wait for Hashirama to play with him?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Zabuza had a dozen swords thrust into his torso and was still able to run through a crowd, behead a man with only a kunai in his mouth, and give Haku his last words. Neji had his torso skewered by branches, and was still able to give his last words. Same with Asuma (via Hidan's injury transfer).
Being stabbed in the chest isn't instantly lethal - it becomes instantly lethal if left unattended.
Stabbed in chest =/= Stabbed in heart.
Though I suppose you are correct, in the NV being stabbed in the hear doesn't always mean instant death via Asuma. So let me adjust my statement, show me where someone has died an instant death in the manga. Then show why you believe that Gai despite having no such feats will do this to someone with above average durability and the uzumaki life force.
Now I'm losing patience. What are you not comprehending? I'm talking apples and your replying oranges. I blatantly just said the only thing she has going for her is outlasting Gai.
For the third and final time. Can Tsunade's regeneration keep up with constant damage that will be delt by Gai. Simply put, is it fast enough. Gai has by far the fastest striking speed in the manga; he can break one of her bones, Tsunade regenerates, and then there is two more broken immediately after, and so on. Can byakogous healing keep up with the constant non-stop damage or will it eventually be overwhelmed and result in Tsunade succombing to all the injury?
@ the bold. Congrats. I see no reason to get worked up but, to each his own.
So tell me are you positing that Gai will stationarily throw all of these strikes, despite that being complete out of character, and physically improbable. The way I see what you're saying is this. Gai will instantly go gates, then proceed to blitz Tsunade, and no point does Tsunade do any action whatsoever, and at no point Gai cease his activity until she can no longer regenerate? Am I framing your argument correctly?
Nothing suggests, that with full knowledge this is what Gai would do, afterall against Obito there were several times that he was out of gates. And even if it were what Gai would do, you think that Tsunade wouldn't attempt something akin to what Kabuto did against Naruto. It may be true, that Gai can outspeed her, but if he's determined to beat her to a bloody pulp faster than she can regenerate, that involves not backing off. Which also allows for counter attacks. Which is why I asked said question.
When a boxer is pushed into a corner and being hammered away with punches more than capable of breaking bones, do they not have the ability to strike back. That seems to be your argument, that in the 7th Gate Tsunade will just be paralyzed. What opponent has Gai used the seventh gate against in which his opponent due to the speed of the seventh gate was incapable of movement. Or maybe you're arguing the broken bones will hinder Tsunade's ability to move. But as it didn't hinder Gai's ability to move nor Kisame's I don't think that claim adds up either. Or maybe you think the pain will stop Tsunade from moving, but didn't Gai himself hesitate to pain but grow accustomed to it once he knew what to expect, and because able to fight through it? Tsunade certainly feels the effects of pain, that's not deniable but as she was jumping around with swords in her belly and diving in front of Naruto with deep cuts on her abdomen I see pain stopping Tsunade to seem a little weak as an argument.
Maybe, you'd say Tsunade isn't fast enough to react, to Gai's punches whatsoever and at no point in time will she be fast enough to touch him. If that's your argument you might have a claim if we were talking about footspeed. But Tsunade has excellent reactionary feats of her own. And insofar as her opponent is right in front of her, he'd either have to get the heck out of the way, block, or tank.
Blocking is out of the question, as that would leave an immediate opening for Ranshinsho. Tanking is out of the question as he'd die or be maimed. And getting out of the way, means he isn't constantly beating on Tsunade, which obviously gives her time to not only heal, but to possibly perform other tasks. And finally to answer your question, neither you nor I can answer in the affirmative of what is possible in terms of byakugou just treating broken bones. But if we're talking about what's likely to happen in an actual battle, then it's not likely Gai will be able to do what happens in Naruto Storm after you run out of substitutions. He won't perform endless combos. All of his combos have a start and finishing point. And thus, more than adequate reprieve for Tsunade's Byakugou to work if it is being overtaken.
Tsunade get's decapitated as soon as Gai is aware of her regeneration abilities unless he isnt already aware of them. The boost from gates is definitely making Gai capable of braking bones and decapitation.
Gai in base attempted to break a boulder of this mass and size[

]. Tsunade cannot keep up with Gai in gates, 8 gates is not needed, 5-7 is probably enough.
Smh at these tsunade supporters. Tsunade get's decapitated.
According to the Manga guys 7th gate punches don't even break the skin.
@ Bold, Tsunade in base was ready to fight the Raikage. Your point?
I know
