OP , that´s a classy opening with the Simms euphemismI've been seeing many of the threads about how Might Guy is more powerful than everyone else. Now I do believe that he is one of the most powerful shinobi. However, his Eight Gate, which makes him as powerful as Madara, is very short and leads to death. Yes, for that time being he achieves an unbelievable amount of power, but it leads to him dieing shortly after. How could you be the strongest shinobi, when you could only claim that title for 15 minutes. Without the 8th gate, he is still below the Kage, Naruto, Sasuke, and others.
I love the character of Might Guy and the fight with Madara is pretty epic, but I can't say that he's the most powerful shinobi. He's like Phil Simms from the Giants. Pretty good/great throughout his career and has one unbelievable performance in the Super Bowl. That said, no one would call him the best QB ever.
No, the fact that Gai had to go 8 gates to kill means his opponent is the reason he died. So his opponent killed Gai. At best Gai can stalemate when he goes 8 gates.Look at it this way. Gai vs a character. The goal of both is to kill the other and survive. Gai used 8th Gate and killed the other person. Gai won that fight because even though both failed the goal of surviving, Gai was the only one to accomplish the goal of killing the other.
Indirect kill, I don't count it.No, the fact that Gai had to go 8 gates to kill means his opponent is the reason he died. So his opponent killed Gai. At best Gai can stalemate when he goes 8 gates.
Calling someone the strongest shinobi without saying "in that category" is stupid.I've been seeing many of the threads about how Might Guy is more powerful than everyone else.
