He must've smocked some s hair while making this decision. He should have died, it would be way more epic and meaningful.
he should have died, the hype was way too much to change of mind in the end, there's nothing elsa gai can do to top off what he already did, from there on, it's just a downhill road
He should evaporated only leaving behind eyebrows, then lee shouldve absorbed Gai's eyebrows into his own, As Gai did with Dai
I think it was a bad choice to let him live on Kishi's part. To each their own but I think it would of been cooler if Gai went out in a blaze of glory.
Naruto revived him , so , obviously yes , Gai should have survived 8th gate with Naruto's help , revived=not dead.
Without Naruto , that's another story , and I don't want to read that story.
Do you really want to rewrite the story?
I'm not sure if I will read your story.
I bet Kishimoto>You ; if I'm wrong , I can't wait for your manga...
Accept the manga , that's useless to blame the mangaka because the manga didn't go your way , because "you" is almost always very < to the mangaka.
Accept that the mangaka is very > than yourself concerning his manga.
