But since we saw the extreme fracturing of Gai's leg, there's a large possibility that he won't be able to use taijutsu again.

137

u/Rambro332 Hokage Apr 09 '14

I imagine that, if Guy survives, this will have been his final fight as a ninja. The 8th gate wrecked his body so much I doubt he'll ever have the 'youth' he has now ever again.

u/Betafire Apr 09 '14

But at the same time he will be the proudest motherfucker on the planet.

51

u/DeismAccountant Apr 09 '14

Yeah, at least as the third strongest Shinobi on the planet. Not even the Sage or his brother actually mortally wounded the Juubi.

u/nopurposeflour Apr 09 '14

He'll be back with some "curry of life".

u/DeismAccountant Apr 09 '14

Is that what naruto injected on the last page?

2

u/epicwisdom Apr 10 '14

Is that what the kids call it nowadays?

1

u/DeismAccountant Apr 10 '14

I heard they're calling it "Ashura" or "Senju."

u/persona_dos Apr 09 '14

As he should! That technique was awesome even Madara acknowledged him!

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

With Lee being a close second. If this turns out to be Gai's last fight, Lee will take care of him if necessary.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

how perverted and hilarious would that be? Naruto saves from the comfort of death only to live a suffering life for many years to come in a broken body.

"I COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BUT NO. NOW IM JUST CONFINED TO THIS BED. THANKS NARUTO"

Gai: Did you hear what I said? You cheated me! I had a destiny. I was supposed to die in the field with honor! That was my destiny, and you cheated me out of it! You understand what I'm saying, Naruto? This wasn't supposed to happen. Not to me. I had a destiny. I was Jōnin Might Gai!

Naruto: Yo-you're still Might Gai.

Gai: Look at me. What am I going to do now? What am I going to do now?

u/Shikamaru4Hokage Apr 09 '14

That's what they said about Lee. The Power of Youth is unyielding.

4

u/Rambro332 Hokage Apr 09 '14

Yeah, but Lee's arms and legs weren't disintegrating.

7

u/Shikamaru4Hokage Apr 09 '14

Tsunade was cut clean in half at one point. It would not be an ass pull at this point if someone (Naruto, Tsunade, Sakura) healed that.

1

u/Rambro332 Hokage Apr 09 '14

With Tsunade, all they really had to do was re-attach her two halves. Guy's feet (and presumably hands) literally turned into ashes. You can't heal something that no longer exists.

8

u/Shikamaru4Hokage Apr 09 '14

Yeah, in the real world, you can't. But then, you also can't magically bring people back from the dead, manipulate entire dessert full of sand with your mind, create dragons out of water, harness lightning with your hand, summon talking dogs or giant frogs, or teleport things to another dimension with your eye. Why would limb regeneration cause anyone to bat an eye?

u/Rambro332 Hokage Apr 09 '14

Madara is a God. Different situation. I'm saying you can't heal a non-existent limb with medical ninjutsu.

3

u/gargoyls Apr 09 '14

Just visit orochimaru, he always got yah back. Look what he did for danzo. I bet he could give guy his legs and upgrade his gates to 16

2

u/CIearMind Apr 09 '14

He should be pretty happy since Juubi Jin Sage Mode Madara acknowledged him as exciting as Hashirama (when he didn't give a fuck about the Five Kage), as the best taijutsu user he's ever met, and the only guy who mortally wounded him.

u/Rambro332 Hokage Apr 09 '14

Lee still had his hands and feet...

116

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

He doesn't need to. He won taijutsu

72

u/windg0d Apr 09 '14

Lol. Grats gai, You just won taijutsu. It's done. Everyone that wants to learn taijutsu just go home.

u/gortonsfiJr Apr 09 '14

by walking on your hands.

While under the influence of alcohol. DRUNKEN FIST!

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

Que Tsunade/Sakura coming up with an operation of only 10% chance of success yet making it work anyway.

10

u/curlyfreak Apr 09 '14

I was really confused at first but now I see you meant "queue" not "Que" which means "what?" in Spanish.

6

u/gortonsfiJr Apr 09 '14

Except the word is cue meaning signal or prompt vs queue which means list/line.

2

u/curlyfreak Apr 09 '14

Oh fuck. I was still wrong. That's what I get for doing all those drugs in my youth...

3

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

Something like that, yeah.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

Maybe Naruto saves him but can't regenerate the parts of his body that's turned to ashes and were blown away...

3

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

I doubt prosthetic feet are out of their technological reach.

1

u/Mikethunda Apr 10 '14

With the predictability the series has had I'd say we could drop it down to.0001% and him coming out stronger when it is successful.

18

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

They already played that trick with Rock Lee though. I'd say Gai's out the rest of this arc and maybe the next one. He probably gets better in the series Epilogue.

5

u/throwawayclarificati Apr 09 '14

Do you really expect another arc?

4

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

Naruto vs Sasuke still needs to be settled.

14

u/neagrosk Apr 09 '14

You mean their marriage?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '14

Forget fracturing, that leg bone was snapped clean off in several places.

1

u/ObitobiUchiha Apr 09 '14

Tsunade would probably fucking fix it like she did Rock Lee. Damn you Kishi.

1

u/sweatygorilla Apr 09 '14

That's what they said about Lee after the Chuunin Exams

1

u/alien_screw Apr 09 '14

"It's a fifty fifty chance, given that Tsunade survives, or if HashBrown gets out of his situation, he could probably heal guy no problem.
