I see I need to enlighten some people about the gates, and what exactly they are, and what they do.
I know how gates work.
My overall point is that the 8 Gates are overestimated. It is limited by the users chakra levels, their chakra control (as better chakra control results in more strength or speed), and their speed and strength before opening the 8 Gates.
In
your opinion, gates are overrated. This does not change the fact that opening all eight gates will give you above Kage level power.
This is why Guy (and Lee) will never be as good as someone like the raikages, or Tsunade, or Jiraiya, or Orochimaru. He doesn't have the chakra levels for it, and so can't hope to match them.
You say gates are overrated, yet you underrate it to the point that it's trash. There are no objective opinions in your posts, and while you clearly know how to read up on something and then making a post to 'educate' people, you don't really understand what you wrote yourself.
I mean this is a retarded quote, "Upon opening the 8th gate the user temporarily gains powers greater than a kage." What does it even mean? Not all kages are taijutsu fighters, and not all kages are the same level. Does this mean that somehow Guy becomes temporarily greater than every kage to ever exist? Does he surpass Hashirama, Hiruzen, Tobirama, and Minato?
Why the use of such words as 'retarded'? How is anyone supposed to take someone that uses 'retarded' seriously? You thinking it's retarded doesn't change the fact that it is true. Guy does indeed gain more
power than any Kage. Needless to say, having more power does not mean you are better. But in power
levels, eight gates > any Kage.
Instead of taking every single statement about power literally, we should instead look at how the abilities work, their limits, and strengths.
While I don't agree with the first part (eight gates can only be taken literally when it comes to
level of power, since gates is all about power) I do agree with the last part. The limits (and weakness) of eight gates would be it's duration and the fact that you die after opening all eight, and opening all eight does not mean you automatically win.
Orochimaru is just too much for them ,he raped easily Hiruzen prime without moving a finger.
In what way did Oro 'rape' Hiruzen 'easily'? xD The only obvious intent of that sentence is to make people mad, as it contains nothing of truth :> Hiruzen wasn't even in his prime and he still took out two Kages
and sealed Oro's arms. 'Raped easily without moving a finger', eh? xD Sounds legit!
