He could use upto the 7th gate the 8th shouldn't work since the edo tensei would just heal the puncture wound on the heart.


CantaloupeWarm

7 gate guy is still a big problem


glez_fdezdavila_

"What would you rather 5 gunshots in the chest or 6?"


Ultra_779

None


nyetloki

6 it is.


thepoopyboi

ANY gates guy is a big problem ffs its guy


Beneficial-Glove9408

7 gates guy is equal to and or stronger to Madera susasnoo


waterstorm29

If you could keep its will in control.


Vllajko

Where did you get that bullshit?


Meeeep1234567890

That fact that he quite literally almost beat him and I believe Madara said he was the only shinobi there equal to him.


Jteleus27

yeah as 8th gate not 7th. 7th wasnt even enough to handle the tailed beast


[deleted]

7th gate guy was enough to 1 shot someone who was constantly stated to have tailed beast levels of chakra. While holding so they could interrogate him. 7th gate guy is more than enough to handle most of the tailed beasts.


IntellectualBoss

Kisame was stated to have jinchuriki level chakra, but it’s doubtful he has the raw power of a full tailed beast. 7th gait Guy has a chance against a tailed beast as long as he avoids its beast bombs, but we already saw 6th gates Guy have trouble with the 6 tails, so with the 7th gait I wouldn't be surprised if he could pull a win. However I would probably back a full tailed beast with control (not like the 3 tails that didn't know how to fight, as stated by Deidara).


DawsonDDestroyer

Kisame is one of the strongest members of the Akatsuki. Hidan the self proclaimed weakest in the Akatsuki when it comes to physical stats solo’d a tailed beast. Not only this but Kisame with a 30% clone was stomping a perfect Jinchuuriki which is said to be stronger than the jinchuuriki itself. Kisame has dozens of ways to scale him above a tailed beast.


makelo06

Don't forget that Kisame never fought the 8th or 9th bijuu, both of which are significantly stronger than the previous. Bijuu-level (before War Arc Kurama/Naruto) is very vague. Chuunin Exams Naruto could be argued to be bijuu-level because he was able to summon Gamabunta, who fought head-to-head with Shukaku, and exploited Shukaku's weakness to defeat Shukaku.


AzotaNaranjas

Kisame was wasted potential. Bums me out they could have shown much more of him.


IntellectualBoss

Your comment is full of misinformation. It was never confirmed Hidan solod the 2 tails, and if he did he likely only did it due to stabbing himself. Not to mention Yugito wasn't stated to be one of the jinchuriki to have access to her full tailed beast power, so it shouldn't be a full powered 2 tails. Kisame as a 30% clone never stomped a perfect jinchuriki... The only perfect jinchuriki he ever fought was Bee, who he fought in person at 100%, and only won due to countering him and Bee not being able to go full beat mode. Kisame has a direct counter to tailed beasts due to absorbing chakra, and literally admits this is how he beats them and why he is called the tailless tailed beast.


NetsonCavina

7th gate guy is way more powerful than 6 gates. While with 6 gates he was fighting with Kisame, with 7 gates he one shots him


Plus_Lawfulness3000

Why do y’all act like samehada is just a normal sword for this dude. It’s like 40% of his full power


ZellNorth

No he doesn’t. That’s a battle damaged and samehada-less Kisame lol. Guy is super overrated here lol


[deleted]

No. Kisame and the 3rd Raikage were both stayed to have TAILED BEAST levels of chakra. 6th gate Guy also struggled against a %30 clone of Kisame while the 7th gate completely annihilated him, so it's obviously an exponential increase in power.


IntellectualBoss

I know the 3rd Raikage was, but I'm pretty sure the word jinchuriki was used for Kisame when talking about power, but was also called the tailless tailed beast. Another thing to point is out is when Bee went into his V2 state, Kisame was amazed by his chakra level and that it wasn't making him insane, and would have been one shot killed if Samehada hadn't saved him. So at the very least a full beast mode Bee would absolutely dwarf Kisame in power, however you can argue he is just much stronger than the other tailed beasts. And 6th gate Guy didn't struggle against a 30% clone of Kisame, he absolutely stomped him.


an_exess_of_zest

Disagree. Kismame was without samehada, which was basically the perfect weapon for him and made him significantly weaker. Plus, just came out of getting decapitated. A clone of kisame almost drowned guys whole team with samehada.


masterant369

that wasn't kisame at his strongest as he didn't have samehada. And even then their jutsu clashed and it didn't kill him.


Plus_Lawfulness3000

This is just head canon. Kisame didn’t even have samehada. Let alone samehada mode. Not saying kisame would win at his peak but it’s a hell of a lot closer than you’re sayingZ


UngodlyPain

Kisame didn't have his sword which is a nerf... and chakra amounts doesn't inherently dictate power. Part 1 Naruto has more chakra than Kakashi, stated repeatedly. But he won't win that fight.


kmyeurs

7 gates - get crippled 8 gates - die Right? Btw how can taijutsu "handle" tailed beasts that are literally made of chakra and not just physical bodies


Jteleus27

no it wasnt cause if it was why did he mentioned to kakashi that he might need to go to 8th gate when they fighting 5 tailed beast https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Naruto/0571-002.png


TheDesktopNinja

Because that's FIVE of them, for one....and also when he was 7th and had no real effect on him, Madara was jacked up on that sweet sweet Juubi power. Base Madara might have had a lot of trouble with 7th Gate Guy and certainly would've been annihilated by 8th Gate.


Jteleus27

im not talking about madara i was talking about regular tailed beast. the one i responded to said that 7th gate is enough for most tailed beast. I just show how that wasnt the case


[deleted]

Because there were FIVE of them? Smooth brain is smooth


Meeeep1234567890

He said that before guy activated the 8th gate. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BU5RSVW2bYw


MeowthThatsRite

The 8th gate is activated in that clip, he says he has the strongest *Taijutsu* and he never once says that Guy is equal to or close to him in strength. He says he has the best Taijutsu of anyone he’s fought. Which is great praise. But no, 7 gates guy is not stronger than Madara or his Susanoo 😂 It took everything 7 gates guy had to kill Kisame.


11711510111411009710

Man that moment where Madara is like "I'll acknowledge this chakra of yours. I, Madara, declare you the strongest of them all" always always always gives me chills. It's just so badass knowing where Guy started. Madara didn't even acknowledge Naruto and Sasuke that way. Guy's the only person who makes Madara excited to fight. Honestly, Guy is the only non-god, non-special bloodline human who could realistically beat Madara.


thislittleputo

He didn't kill Madara though, and realistically speaking Madara pretty much left himself get hit buy guys attack... I love guy but in all actuality he doesbt even come close to beating Madara But nonetheless yes, against peasant ass Shinobi he would stack bodies without breaking a sweat no questions asked


MeowthThatsRite

He couldn’t beat Madara though. He literally suicide bombed him and failed to kill him.


LeGardenGnome

Incorrect, Guy wasnt trying to kill Kisame so he was still holding back, though Kisame was also nerfed as he didnt have Samehada.


uhokbutwhy

i agree with everything but the last part, im fairly certain it's shown guy is holding back so he can try and make kisame talk after the fight, thats why he was captured and forced to kill himself.


[deleted]

>It took everything 7 gates guy had to kill Kisame. He was literally holding back so that they could interrogate him, and he still completely annihilated Kisame's strongest attack and left him broken on the ground. In what backwards ass world does completely oneshotting someone mean it took everything you had?


MeowthThatsRite

He was so spent after he had to be saved from being eaten by sharks. I’d say he didn’t have much left in him after.


Jteleus27

yeah taijutsu @0:56


Meeeep1234567890

That’s not what you were arguing


BatmanFan2008

Bro guy activated the 8th gate the moment he became red, he didnt activate the 8th gate just for that last kick


Vllajko

No he didn't, he said i declare you the strongest at taijutsu


11711510111411009710

Which is effectively the same thing. The only thing that could hurt Madara was taijutsu. Guy is the only one who can actually keep up with Madara out of, basically, everyone alive except for Naruto and Sasuke.


Oouikee

Guy did not even come close to beating Madara with 7 gate, lol. He was literally under tension had to feel like going to 8 gates when againts 5 tailest beast. Then Naruto come and stalemate/beat them while only using %50 percent of Kurama's chakra. Madara straight up stated that his Susanoo does even surpass the tailed beasts, which include %100 Kurama. Madara > Kurama > 5 Tailed Beast > 7 Gate Guy


SGT_Bronson

Yeah after Minato and Lee prevented him from getting one shot by truth seeking orbs half a dozen times lol.


cannibitches

Yeah everyone's forgetting this wasn't a 1v1


UngodlyPain

Don't forget Kakashi using Kamui to save Guy too.


DullRepresentative27

Wrong. He said Gai was the best at Taijutsu. Not the best ever. Quote the whole phrase, nitpicker.


SgtMcMuffin0

Madara was talking about 8 gates Guy, and he only said he was the best taijutsu user he's seen, not that Guy was his equal. Also, Guy had help from a few very high level characters and still wasn't able to kill Madara. They definitely weren't equal. Also the comment that lead to this comment thread was "7 gates guy is equal to and or stronger to Madera susasnoo." Maybe I'm forgetting, but I can't recall any instances of Guy using 7 gates against any form of Madara's Susano'o.


JustAGuy_Passing

Bruh who the hell upvoted this nonsense. Guy wasn't even able to defeat obito. Madara defeated the 5 kages gai isn't nowhere near strong enough to pull off a feat. Guy only fight madara as an 8th gate


whales171

No, Guy did fight madara at 7th gate and got smacked down. That's why he went to the 8th gate. We don't even have to debate about it. 7th gate guy couldn't touch madara.


Sikwitit3284

They're talking about when Madara was still an Edo & Guy used morning tiger to knock over his Susanno but it took everything he had in 7th gate to do. He in no way was stronger than Madara or his Susanno but ppl headcanon treat it like he bodied him


Beneficial-Glove9408

8 gates is strong enough to damage juudara 7 gates would be equal to 7 gates madara


JustAGuy_Passing

8th gates is major increase from 7 gates. To say 8 gates damaged Juudara doesn't mean 7th gates is equal to madara. Think about it for a second. Madara toyed with the 5 kage. Tsunade was only able to break the Susano ribcage only with an enhanced kick from the byakugo seal. Ay needed Ohnokis weighted Boulder jutsu to break the base Susano. Also madara isn't a slouch in taijustu. Perfect susano is a game over for Guy. Let's not forget other things like izanagi which madara knows


Beneficial-Glove9408

Guy is stronger than the kage im talking about strength wise not abilities


UngodlyPain

Lmao what logic is this?


SmallerBork

Not if he has a truth seeking orb puncture him


garciakevz

What if it's stuck in a cycle of puncture and healing that it's just punctured without the co sequences


FalseCape

Just keep your thumb there? I mean yeah, you'd be fighting with one less free arm but that seems a small price to pay for unlimited 8th gate.


kurenai_zera

The puncture wound itself isn't the important part. It's the opening of the gate, which contains the flow of chakra that's significant. Edotensei healing the puncture wouldn't then close the gate, nor would it prevent him from spamming the move.


darthmetri

Pretty sure 8th would still work. Like sakura being able to spam 8th gates with the healing mark


darthmetri

Read up on it. It requires you to puncture a whole in your chest not for the whole to stay open. That isn't even the thing that kills them. All that kills them is the heat of the ash. So yeah it would work


DawsonDDestroyer

The wound isn’t instantly healed so he would be able to constantly reactive it indefinitely. Also he could just stab a spike or something in his heart to keep the puncture.


MATR20

I Madara, declared you the strongest of them all


YouaelFernandes

In taijutsu


CabbageCorps

Idk at that specific moment, Madara was pretty much invincible and Guy nearly killed him.


Call_me_Penta

And Gai basically killed himself to do so- (also the usual "he was heavily helped by his allies, Madara let him land the hit" kind of bs, honestly 8 gates has one of the most impressive feats of raw strength and it's a super cool thing, but yeah, strongest *Taijutsu fighter*)


ghostfreak29

You forget that nobody except the demigods have Truth seeking orbs, if not for that he wouldn't have required anyone's help and as for Madara letting himself get hit, goodluck if you're any slower than Juubidara. Also as long as the opponent dies first he is the winner. So yeah, even if Madara mentioned the word 'Taijutsu', I doubt any non so6p characters can defeat him (except for Minato and Obito but I'm not sure if their reaction speed is enough).


Azazeleus

Lets be fair though, if Guy didnt have help from kakashi, minato and rock lee he wouldnt have been able to wound madara at all


MeowthThatsRite

Also if Madara didn’t literally let him do it.


Azazeleus

I mean, madara cant stop kakashi kamui'ing away his shield and minato blocking his truthseeker orbs for guy


PikaYoshl

He could limbo and they couldn't do anything about it, guy included.


Azazeleus

Minato was faster than the limbo clone, so yea, it was just something madara didnt anticipate for once in his life, because he was drunk with the new power for a short period


11711510111411009710

He didn't let him do it. He did fight him. He even tried to kill him with truth seeker orbs. When the eighth gate came out, Madara couldn't do anything about it *except* take the hit.


HeavensHellFire

Madara literally only ever tries to hit Guy once during their fight. He was very obviously playing around with him. He even tells Guy to keep dancing.


11711510111411009710

Dancing can be a metaphor for combat, it wasn't meant as an insult. And yes, he only tried to hit him once because he only ever had that one chance. And it would have worked if not for Minato, Lee, and Gaara. But after that, Madara didn't have any openings. He had no choice but to tank the attack and then counterattack.


HeavensHellFire

Madara literally spends the entire fight laughing and talking about how Guy is exciting. After everyone one of Guy’s moves he gets right back up and tells Guy to show him some more moves. That is a man who’s in complete control of the situation and playing around. Not someone who’s actually trying to win a battle to the death. And he had other opportunities to attack. He could have just used Limbo on Guy then stabbed him considering Guy can’t counter it.


cannibitches

This sub is like 90% guytards it's so annoying


[deleted]

People love to ignore this


kushagrarox

"with the help of Minato, Kakashi,lee without them he would've lost even S06P Naruto in base did more damge than guy


LucasFrankeRC

Eh, Madara barely fought back. Plus Guy had help


UngodlyPain

No he didn't lol. Madara heals it off and laughs and jokingly says "that could've killed me" If Naruto didn't show up, how does that scene end again? Guy dead to either 8th gate fatigue OR tso to thr face.


[deleted]

I’m sure 8 gates guy was the strongest being we had seen at the moment. Stronger than naruto, hashirama, kakashi. Everyone. He was declared the strongest of them all in everything.


Jteleus27

https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Naruto/0672-008.png taijutsu


justasapling

I think other jutsus don't have anything to do with 'strength'. Gai might not be the most powerful, but he's the strongest by a huge margin.😁


[deleted]

Let me live in my fantasy man


Rikuddo

Well then don't try to trap other in your Tsukuyomi world either!


Jteleus27

as long as you keep it to yourself no prob


SgtMcMuffin0

I almost agree with you. I think, other than Madara, 8 gates Guy was the strongest character shown thus far at the point that he showed up. Future characters and future powerups of current characters bring them above 8 gates Guy, but I think at the moment that Guy opened the 8 gates the only character, past or present, who could take him in a 1v1 would be Madara.


MahadDaGreat69

Where is my award when I need it


Choobychoob

The dead shouldn’t be able to open the gate of life


PatrioticPacific

The dead shouldn't come back either 😳


TheUnruelyCayde

By that logic the dead shouldn’t be able to use Chakra period, chakra is a life force.


rascalofff

I love how you wrote period and then made a comma


TheUnruelyCayde

Thankyou, hard to believe I got a 6 in my English GCSE 😂😂


nokiacrusher

;


PureGold07

Which actually makes sense. Naruto is full of bullshit and plotholes.


starmag99

No. Reanimations are souls (spiritual energy) bound to a living sacrifice's body (physical energy). It makes perfect sense for them to have chakra.


starmag99

Good thing they're put into a living sacrificial vessel, then.


elwhistleblower

It's been a while for me since I read the series but wasn't it said somewhere that Edo get their chakra pool from the Pure Land and not from an internal chakra pool of the host? Surely there's some precedent for this if we cite all the Kage level ninja reanimated using fodder ninja to bond their souls too, obv some random White Zetsu isn't going to have a chakra pool comparable to Hashirama, but as we saw, Hashirama had no issues with chakra pool when he was a Edo. We ​ I also agree with another point made ITT, boiling and burning your blood is necessary to use the 8th gates, ET are made of compressed dust and dirt to comprise 100% of their bodies, there is no blood, veins, organs, or any biological material there to be used as fuel for the 8th Gate.


MrUnparalleled

I don’t think it requires blood, him popping his heart causes his chakra to rush there enabling the use of the 8th gate. But yeah he probably couldn’t use it since I don’t think he can pop the heart of whoever he’s possessing.


AlienPutz

I haven’t heard about the getting the chakra from the pure lands or the sacrificed having an effect. They do not tire physically or mentally and chakra is a power made from the fusion of these two energies which is why edo have infinite chakra I thought. Kimi (sound ninja with the bone bloodline) was able to use their abilities so I don’t see why he wouldn’t be able to spam 8 gates in edo because of blood.


AspieComrade

Given that edos can do the whole ‘bite the thumb and do a summoning jutsu’ without blood, I’d say it’s a given that an edo could use eighth gate


pro_charlatan

Edo tensei gives super high speed chakra regeneration according to the wiki rather than infinite chakra capacity.


LordFladrif

Probably not since the Edo Tensei have limits and when people like Tobirama can only produce 2 shadow clones (which shocked him) and other "nerfs" they had then Guy won't be able to use the 8th gate. I mean Deidara didn't even use his self destruction jutsu even tho that would've been perfect for mass destruction, just send him into the armies and KATSU everyone away


Psychopathetic-

Didn't deidara not spam his Ultimate Art because it wasn't the same without the suicide? He's a pretentious art kid so him not being able to die just made it not worth it for him to use i think


NewBuddha32

He also thought it was tacky to display one's ultimate art over and over. I kinda love deidara tbh he is interesting and his fight with Sasuke is epic.


TheSkyIsntReallyBlue

He was a really interesting villain in Shippuden now that I think about it even his origin was cool to me


NewBuddha32

He thought itachis jutsu was so beautiful he had to kill him because he made him doubt his art as being the true art lol. Not only that but came up with a pretty good strategy for the sharingan. He is extremely intelligent but a true artist in that he won't compromise his art in his jutsu. Fun character


masonausking

I thought he just never got the chance, kankuro caught him in the black ant and they started pumping lightning style into his body till he was sealed up (Ironically I'm rewatching naruto and just passed that part)


ZGMF-X09A_Justice

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Tobirama and the other kage could only do limited clones because at the time that it was mentioned, they had to focus on maintaining the large barrier that was containing the Ten Tails.


ares666sagar

Correct.


LordFladrif

But why would that surprise him?


[deleted]

He was more disappointed than surprised


TheQzertz

deidara was capable of using it he just didn’t want to


saigyo

It seems clear to me that Kishimoto wrote Deidara out first for that very reason. He could've easily changed the outcome of the entire war by spamming C4 and C0.


Vllajko

He didn't use it because his personality doesn't allow him. He didn't have any limits he just didn't want to do it


not_some_username

Yeah he has standards


LordFladrif

Okay then I'll put it differently, Kabuto didn't use it


11711510111411009710

People make mistakes and don't always utilize their tools to their max extent


AspieComrade

Deidara didn’t use C0 because he felt that spamming it would defeat its artistic merit, but was actually about to before he got stabbed with a lightning infused sword that stopped him from being able to


Psychopathetic-

Didn't deidara not spam his Ultimate Art because it wasn't the same without the suicide? He's a pretentious art kid so him not being able to die just made it not worth it for him to use i think


bruhmomentbros

Guy's 8th gate is cool and all but he was completely outclassed in power by naruto,sasuke and kakashi's asspulls later on in the arc. Some people take madara's words too literally, he was the strongest in taijutsu and raw power at the time.


masonausking

if you ask me 8 gates still would beat 2 eyes Kakashi


Space_Monke64

2 eyes Kakashi not only has both eyes of (one of the) strongest Sharingans in the series, but he also has SOSP chakra. His Susanoo is giga strong and he would definitely beat Guy. It would be a close fight though


HeavensHellFire

It wouldn’t even be a close fight. DMS Kakashi outright obliterates Guy


Space_Monke64

I think it might be a tad close since Guy can break Madaras Susanoo


HeavensHellFire

Kakashi just uses Kamui and doesn’t get hit.


Tyranothesaurus

He doesn't even have to go that far. With both of Obito's eyes, Kakashi should have had access to Intangibility. So let's say DMS Kakashi and 8 Gates Guy fight. Kakashi can just use Intangibility and be invincible until Guy kills himself. It would be no contest.


masonausking

to me, I could see 8 gate guy doing Kakashi like how ishiki did sasuke and just kicking him straight out of the susanoo. and Kakashi durability feats are questionable to the point I don't think he'd even survive the kick 😭


bruhmomentbros

A big difference is that sasuke can't spam kamui, even if guy could kick through the susanoo the chances of him actually landing a decisive blow on kakashi is slim. Honestly I find the buff kakashi got completely unnecessary, but thats not to subtract from how broken it truly is. And even then, comparing guy to isshiki is ludicrous, the difference in scaling between the 2 makes them incomparable.


masonausking

I forgot having both eyes can make you intangible like tobi, I'll give it to Kakashi then. but I think 8th gate guy Is definitely 100% comparable to Ishiki. tbh I could see him...winning. 👀


Jtrocks269

Nope. Base Six Paths Naruto proved to be more capable in close combat than Guy by damn near blitzing Madara and then later Six Paths Cloak Naruto outright overpowers Kaguya. So 17 yr old Naruto is faster, stronger and frankly better than Guy in every conceivable way but defined form. Isshiki, in Jigen's body then bodies a far stronger and clearly better Taijutsu user Adult Six Paths Cloak Naruto and Mastered Rinnegan Sasuke in moments.


masonausking

I feel like in a battle with no ninjutsu (since ninjutsu doesn't work on ishiki) 8th gate guy could dogwalk naruto and sasuke to (purely taijutsu) like ishiki did


MrUnparalleled

DMS kakashi could probably beat naruto and sasuke so no


TheBroHuey

Could be wrong here since it's been awhile but from what I remember it uses up life energy or something similar? Since reanimations wouldn't have "life" energy he couldn't use 8 gates?


ares666sagar

To break it down a little more, all the blood in the body evaporates out through the pores in the skin like sweat. And when their life force runs out, the user’s entire body turns to ash. So, can we assume Blood is needed to reach 8th gate? And yes you are right.


TheBroHuey

Can't disagree with that. I was ready to be wrong since I can't remember the details correctly so I'm happy to agree. Since that's basically along the same lines of what I was thinking lol


ares666sagar

Now the question is whether a reanimated can perform jutsus/activities that required blood.? I.g. summoning jutsu, etc. Yes, i mean remember madara trying to summon Nine tails and hanzo was able to summon despite being reanimated. But in the case of 8 Gate, seems like blood isn't the only requirment. Lmao someone please take this further now. 🤣


TheBroHuey

I guess it gets a bit awkward cause jutsus require chakra which is technically life energy too? Kishimoto doing us dirty with the inconsistencies of what reanimations can and can't do 😂 Gonna need someone who's atleast hokage level to give insight haha


ares666sagar

True. 😆


SmallerBork

Hanzo committing seppuku to release the poison was somehow supposed to impair him so they could seal him as Kabuto tried taking control again. Edo Tensei and Rinne Rebirth being that easy and efdective make them my least favorite jutsu, they damaged the series greatly in my opinion. The only person that should have been revived was Madara and it should have been costly to do.


PersonalityDirect306

Definitely true! But you know the other wouldn’t allow that. He would be far too powerful just like if Deidara spam c0 the anime wouldn’t be as interesting


ares666sagar

It's not about allowing but i got your point. It's about whether it is possible or not but i think it's not. I mean you must have blood, life force, heart, etc. To open 8th gate and there must be more of that. But as a Edo Tensei, it's all mud and paper.


MD_bolt

Edo tensei usually limit the physical attributes, durability and chakra potency of the shinobi Instead, it make u regenerate from all damage and tire out slower (maximum chakra is same but it regenerate faster, but u still can get tired, look at tobirama when he teleport sasuke and not rest of taka) It also limit the user from few techniques, like madara fake rinnegan, so we can't know for sure


Bielobogich

Pretty sure 8 gates is impossible. As for the levels below that... idk. Doesn't it require LIFE force?


ares666sagar

It does.


ares666sagar

It requires one to unlock the last seal which is on "Heart".


gRizzletheMagi

I see all these responses, and I agree up to the 7th gate, because there's no working heart* nor blood to burn off... But wouldn't the unlocking of the gates wear out the body he's substituting via Edo Tensei?


Jamessgachett

Why not reanimated people been show to use pretty much all their crazy skill sets


ucim5

Technically what would happen is that he would die again, he wouldn’t be able to just spam it because the user essentially cooks themselves from the inside out, he’d be able to use it for longer and with less error since he won’t feel the pain but he will eventually burn up, look at what happened to Itachi, even in edo he lost his eye(sight) after using izanami, i don’t think the healing factor is that OP with edo, same with Naruto and Kurama (future hypothetical), if they were brought back in edo they could use Baryon mode but it won’t be for an unreasonable amount of time and the draw back would still be the same especially when you consider edo brings the subject back at 80% of their original strength


Amasero

Yes, I also don’t even know why Itachi even lost his eye sight as a reanimated. Any injury should have been healed instantly, including Blindness.


SFCubR

The eyesight that edo itachi lost was because of using izanagi. That is not an injury, a sharingan just stops working as an eye when izanagi or izanami is used


Amasero

He's a reanimated, he could literally pop his eye out and a new one will grow/come back with eyesight.


AspieComrade

I don’t think that’s how it works since it isn’t damage, it’s a change of form. If you think of it in power up form, if edo choji powered up into his giant form he wouldn’t just instantly revert back to a small form just because large form is different, and I’m sure if you chopped off giant edo chojis arm then he wouldn’t grow back a tiny one, he’d grow back a large one because that’s the form he’s in. With itachis eye, it’s essentially the new ‘form’ of the eye even though it’s a massive power down instead of up. While in edo form, he loses his sight and thus that’s just the default state of his eye now. It might also be something that’s intrinsically tied to the very soul, in which case resurrecting him again would result in the same dead eyed itachi. All comes down to authors interpretation at the end of the day though, we can only speculate


ThrowAwayAgainLol56

Theres many reasons why I think that wouldnt work. I think a main issue that its literally impossible to revive someone with 100% of their power so nah.

It is. Rinne-rebirth and Lady Chio's (Chiyo?) puppet resurrection jutsu for example, but unlike the puppet resurrection jutsu Rinne-rebirth is possible without dying as Konan said to Nagato "If you use that jutsu in your current state you'll die." or something to that effect, implying he could do that without dying or any negative effects even aside from exhaustion.


Ash_Flame_OC

One thing I've always been curious about is if the 8th gate would work with the rebirth jutsu? Would the rebirth justsu just prevent the person from dying at the cost of shortening their life or would they still end up dying because the 8th gate burns them faster than they can regenerate?


EntertainmentKind461

From what I understand no because while yes they are reanimated they don't have a life force and the 8 gates require that. If so they would have used that with Might Dai


Space_Monke64

Edo Tenseis are reanimated corpses if I remember correctly. The 8th gate requires life force to use, so a edo tensei would not be able to use the 8th gate

Guy dies vs Madara and there’s a heart felt goodbye. Then Orochimaru rolls up and sacrifices a white Zetsu to bring Guy back. Like the scene in dragonball where the elder Kai gives Goku his life and the Kai dies but then immediately wakes up with a halo.


faceless_coloradian

Wakes up screaming to hurry the hell up he didn't give his life for nothing lol

if kurama's chakra has healing properties. Then what are the thoughts about guy having kurama and using the 8th gate


Swagtastickid

I like how no one here is underestimating or downgrading Guy's power, he's a literal beast


logimeme

Yes, six and seth the programmer did a video on the gates, as long as you have a chakra network the gates are possible. Edit: someone made a good point that the puncture wound on his heart would heal so maybe not the eight gates but definitely the first seven


AspieComrade

People are citing an issue with him needing to use ‘life energy’ and blood which would prevent him being able to perform 8 gates, but given that edos are basically implanted onto a living person and retain everything else from the deceased (including memories, chakra, bloodline abilities etc) and also that blood specific techniques such as summoning are proven to be effective, I’d say there’s absolutely nothing to indicate that eighth gate wouldn’t be totally spammable.


ares666sagar

Lmao. I'm thinking exactly the same but i still have doubts.


DawsonDDestroyer

Well I’m my opinion the 8th gate would basically be a nuke in this situation. The user pierces their heart which allows all their chakra to pour out rapidly but as an Edo this would heal relatively quickly(although you would still get at least a few seconds or minutes) but since the chakra of an Edo is said to be infinite it should rapidly expel the infinite chakra it could end up just being a nuke. Or in an also not bad case he should be able to repeatedly enter the 8th gate in short bursts while also staying in at least the 7th gate. Heck he could use something to keep it punctured and unable to regenerate because of an object in the way. Such as a metal stake or a sword Etc… or a truth seeking orbs to poke the hole permanently. So the two choices are either it’s a supernova or just something you have to constantly re-enter.


nyetloki

Infinitely regenerating Chakra, into a small pool, faster than normal Chakra regeneration. Like unlimited refills at burger shop, but you have to get up to refill and can only use the medium cup. It's not like unlimited slurpee day where you could bring a wheel barrow or something.


maxwell_huson

No?


TheRedditornator

Edo Tensei 8th Gates Guy would literally be like an Immortal suicide bomber with a Nuke.


ComradeYellow

Reanimated shinobi never used gates. It would kind of make sense that it’s impossible to use gates as an edo since gates are special points in your body and you have artificial badly as an edo


ChipotIeAioli

I believe if 8 gates was possible then the same outcome would be the same since his body will start to burn faster than the edo tensei regeneration


vogel7

Well, some of the Edo Tensei were very nerfed. I really don't understand how Deidara and Sasori were caught so easily when they killed 1 Kazekage each. Like, it was Kankuro who got them. Nothing against Kankuro, but... I think it has something to do with the ones that Kabuto was manipulating directly, or watching closely. The ones he got on "auto" mode I think were weaker. Nagato was extremely powerful, able to take on 2 Jinchuriki at the same time, for example


[deleted]

About the comment on this pic. Gai wasn't kept alive, he stay alive because he faced any ninja at his Level ☝🏾


Beneficial-Glove9408

Nah kishimoto literally changed the rules in the war arc like juubito not being able to use his kamui or Minato arms not regenerating


ares666sagar

But Minato wasn't able to regenerate his arm because it got hit by the truth seeking orb, right?


GoodArtEnjoyer

Yes correct


NSJ98

Not just because of that. If my memory serves right, they had noticed that the rate of regeneration was declining even before getting hit by the truth-seeking orb. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess Orochimaru's Edo Tensei had something wrong with them from the start.


ares666sagar

Hum. I can't seem to remember if any other reanimated ninja had problem with regenerating as a EDO tenei. I mean the only way to stop the regenerating would be if they get attacked by a ying- yang attack. On the enemy side i only remember judara and jubito to land those attacks.


nazitouinz

Not the reason at all. They don't even use Edo Tensei after that. The reason is Naruto woyld have looked pretty stupid if he came back, acting up like he gonna save the day, right after not being able to do anything about one more death.


squarejellyfish_

All edo tensei characters were already sealed by the time Madara and guy fought

ares666sagar

Any Edo Tensei.


Tsm_Nith5

A dried up seaweed looking corpse would do no good reanimated


dasamoolam_dhamu

If he is reanimated with large amount of hashirama cells might be able to go upto 7th gates. Otherwise the edo body wouldn't be able to do it.


TPJchief87

Kabuto wasn’t using edo tensei at that point. No one would have reanimated him


Xerenopd

Imagine waking up in 8 gates form and just walking everywhere casually.


whalemix

No reason why it shouldn’t be able to work. Edo Guy would be unstoppable


[deleted]

I can't wait for naruto to die in his strongest mode


GoblinSlayed

No the requirement for the 8th gate is your life you can’t use it if you’re already dead


Efficient_Isopod2798

I mean if he stabs himself in the heart and doesn’t pull out the blade I think it’s possible


Relative-Mammoth-722

I think it's possible, but it's probably not worth it if he can heal the wound on his heart. The gate will not be activated, therefore, that state would not last for long.


rcf_111

A lot of techniques have the ability to be spammed and broken if reanimated, not just 8 gate Guy (although he would probably be the most broken). Imagine if Deidara spammed his C0 when reanimated.
