"Kaio Ken Guy" isn't far from the truth... a super-technique that boosts your power greatly and also weakens you from use.

I was pretty satisfied with the fight; I confess, I was a little shocked to see extended seconds of Gai simply standing and looking at Madara hahaha. I'm thinking, "You're dying, man! You are literally on the count down! Start attacking and don't stop to make clever lines!" With respect, I believe I've seen better high-power brawls, in terms of animation, in Dragonball Z, and expected something like that, but as I said: pretty satisfied. Gai is a favorite character of mine, always has been, and I'm enjoying seeing him like this.

I didn't enjoy the Naruto/Hagaromo part as much. Lots of dialogue, some of it redundant, and it also introduced a villain that I never had strong feelings for: Kaguya. But I enjoyed the episode still.
