I mean it's unbelievable. This base can never be happy no matter what happens, it's always nagging for something and I wonder how many of you have paid for reading even one of these chapters in your entire life!

It doesn't make sense to begin with! You always say about how side-characters have never their chance for actual developement and when they actually have their chance to shine you react like this?!:nuts:

Today's chapter was actually really touching and it made me think completely differerently about Gai's whole personality. To go to your death with a smile on your face is a really difficult thing. More importantly, to see that his father had such a heroic death trying to protect his son is also really sad. You might say that we have seen this with other characters all over again but the difference is that Gai's father has never been regarded as a strong ninja and quite the contrary he was always been regarded as an idiot, something for which his son fought and was beaten up for. Yet, he went against all the 7 mist swordsmen who were all top-class and all without even thinking even for a sec for his own safety.

Now I know many of you will say scr*w you but it's at times like this that I get sad because a person tries hard to pass some deep messages and teach some values and most of his readers are just too shallow to respect that.

I have the volumes XD, the 8 gates are awesome but why now? Why in the hell against Madara? Madara should be able to fodderize him neg dif. And why, WHY a flashback like this in the climax of the series?

I agree with the OP.

You have to look at the manga as a whole. While flashbacks can test your patience, including them in the manga is much better storytelling. We never knew too much about Guy's past until now, so this is crucial for such a major character.

Can you imagine if the anime never had any flashbacks to let you to know the characters better?

I already gave my respects to them U_U



I particullary felt satisfied with today's chapter.

I already respected Gai because of his way of ninja, and I knew him well... because everytime he needed help and he was in a hurry, I was there... he called me, and I jumped against his opponents as a fiery tiger, and hell, it felt very good to be there for him. I was able to push Madara, TWICE, so I can die happy at this rate (Lol).

Yet you complains about fillers stuff when the fillers were top notch High budget which really improves the series more and serve more justified in the Anime than in the Manga when it should've been in the canon

Regardless, I love this chapter, every characters needs a screen time and development aside from the main characters that everyone is getting tired of seeing Obito and Rin BS and Naruto and Sasuke BF.

Not only I find this flashback necessary, but this strong feeling that touch in the bottom my souls when Gai is going to die and Lee sad moments. I shed my tear in this chapter, not only he had lost Neji but Gai as well.

I agree with you, its ridiculous how much hate a chapter with a flashback can get. The flashback showed how gai become the man he is today
Exactly!
They just all forgot about flashbacks because hype.
because of idiocity I would say.
I have the volumes XD, the 8 gates are awesome but why now? Why in the hell against Madara? Madara should be able to fodderize him neg dif. And why, WHY a flashback like this in the climax of the series?
Because 8 gates is suposed to be one of the most poweful attacks ever and it's important to show how Gai is willing to give up his life while he knows all to well that he's not even going to take down madara with him but rather becoming a stepping stone based on which Madara's loss will come.
Naruto has been going down for a little while

This chapter was a 2/5 for me

Only good thing in this chapter was seeing gais dad
And that's a proof that you can't understand the true meaning behind of it.
I completely agree with you...
Thank you.

Thank you! Flashbacks are essential for understanding someone's character in its truest meaning, it's not just a loss of time.

Lol indeed.

I didn't assume that this goes for everyone but I can say with certainty that it's true for the vast majority.

I think flashbacks have been a consistent thing to this manga since the beginning. It is just the way Kishimoto tells things, especially near a character's death. These people complaining about flashbacks in a war who only want action every chapter should just go read Dragonball.

Some people just love to complain. Gai is an important character, and he deserves a flashback chapter if he's going to die.

I really, really hope Kishi doesn't pull some shenanigans to keep Gai alive post-8th Gate Release. His sacrifice is emotionally resonant because he's fully willing to die, even if it just means stalling Madara to protect the people he truly cares about (Lee, TenTen, Kakashi).

I really loved his reply to Minato. "Nobody here wants this to happen..." "That's not true. I want this to happen."

Give him hell, Gai-Sensei!

That's just the way the world spins.
And that's the reason it goes like that.

You misunderstood me, I don't complain about fillers in general not do I have specific problems with them. Some limits must be put and don't tell that that filler with a stupid man at the war who was like a tourist was something essential because I'm certain that they could do it way better. My probem with the budget is that it's not in good use while they should it in more important episodes.
I said it once, ill say it again. Less yapping, more fighting
:rolleyes:
Well that's naruto manga for you.
