| ~ Might Guy to Kakashi. |
Might Guy is a major character in the manga/anime series Naruto and a supporting character in its sequel series Boruto. He is the sensei and leader of Team Guy which consists of him, Neji Hyūga, Tenten, and Rock Lee.
Guy has also been seen many times hanging out with Naruto, teaching him some things or training with him. Like many others in the Leaf Village, Guy is a jonin. His jutsus consist of Hirudora, Leaf Hurricane and other jutsus that Lee has learned from him.
He was known to be quite an eccentric but comical sensei sometimes. He is the eternal rival of the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake. After the Fourth Great Shinobi War, Guy's leg was damaged due to the side-effect of the Gate of Death against Madara Uchiha which make beyond healing, he was forced to end his career as a shinobi and sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
In the Japanese version, he is voiced by Masashi Ebara, who also voiced Mr. Satan in Dragon Ball Z, and by famous voice actor Skip Stellrecht, who also voiced Gaomon & his digivolution from Digimon Data Squad in the English version. In Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals, he was voiced by Matthew Mercer, who also voiced Yamato in the same series.
Personality[]
While he comes across as an eccentric and odd person, Might Guy is without a doubt one of the nicest and most passionate characters in the entire series. He's incredibly optimistic and confident in himself and many others as well, and is always humble towards others. While he is a bit of an oddball due to his strange antics, Might Guy is also very serious in his duty as a ninja and is driven by his ideals and philosophy, believing one must acknowledge their strengths and weakness and work to improve what one can make up for what one cannot, something he learned from his late father.
Abilities[]
Guy is one of Konoha's most powerful ninja, and a taijutsu master. Despite considering himself a loser as a child, Guy is a very strong ninja, graduating from the Academy at age 7 and becoming a chūnin at age 11. Itachi Uchiha has, on numerous occasions, warned others against underestimating Guy. A warning from such a powerful ninja is an indicator that Guy is an excellent combatant. A testament to his skill as a ninja was him single-handedly defeating the extremely dangerous Akatsuki member, Kisame Hoshigaki. This is later reaffirmed when Kakashi Hatake trusts him to take on the Six-Tails alone during their battle with the reincarnated jinchūriki. Even as the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, Madara Uchiha acknowledged Guy's capabilities, commenting that he underestimated him.
Taijutsu[]

During childhood, Might Guy had a very low talent in ninjutsu and genjutsu, so he focused solely on taijutsu like his father. Maito Dai saw this as an opportunity to teach him his own strengths and weaknesses. This in turn gives Guy a chance to focus on his own "virtues" that other kids of his age cannot do. As an adult, Might Guy is an extremely accomplished taijutsu master, with advanced knowledge, if not skill, in various taijutsu styles and techniques. As noted by Kisame Hoshigaki, it is very rare for one to reach Guy's level of prowess. With his skill, he is able to fight off countless high-level ninja unarmed as demonstrated during Orochimaru's invasion of Konoha and effectively fight bare-handed against and even disarm the extremely skilled swordsman Kisame.
Through his "My Rule" philosophy, which also involved a series of extreme and unorthodox training regimes, Guy has gained a strong and enduring body with immense reserves of chakra and stamina by constantly pushing his own limits. This allows him to recover from extreme exhaustion in an alarmingly short period of time and utilise the style known as "Strong Fist" to its full potential. In addition, his intense training has given him such tremendous speed that his movements can seem like he's disappearing to unfocused eyes, and strength capable of easily ploughing a full-grown man through a solid, stone wall with a single hand: accomplishing both feats without the aid of chakra-enhancement. It was even shown in Part I that he was capable of repelling Gaara's sand attack with a single hand.
Eight Gates[]

Guy is able to utilise and open all of the Eight Gates — a feat that is difficult for even some of the most talented ninja. His knowledge and understanding of this ability allowed Guy to teach others to access multiple gates. With the sixth and seventh gates he could dispatch someone as powerful as Kisame Hoshigaki with ease and overpower even Madara Uchiha. Once accessing all eight gates, his power is even greater than that Madara Uchiha as the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, inflicting severe damage on the Uchiha who compares this power to fighting Hashirama Senju. Because of the potential harm opening the gates can cause the user, Guy has decided that he will only open the gates if it is a life-or-death situation, or he is protecting someone dear to him. However, Guy's extremely intense training routines has allowed him to handle opening the gates for longer periods of time, able to endure the sixth gate with only noticeable exhaustion, as well as resist the after-effects of the seventh gate to continue fighting for a short period. By the Fourth Great Shinobi War, Guy became able to withstand using the seventh gate repeatedly with only momentary exhaustion.
His mastery is enough that he is capable of utilizing several kinjutsu after opening the gates, making him truly a formidable force on the battlefield. With the first gate, Guy can use the pile-driving Front Lotus and with the third gate, Guy can use the more advanced Reverse Lotus. When opening the sixth gate, Guy can utilize the Morning Peacock, a technique so fast that his hands were set ablaze by sheer speed and friction. When unlocking the seventh gate, he can utilize a one-hit kill technique called Daytime Tiger, which is strong enough to completely overwhelm Madara Uchiha's complete Susanoo and reduce a shinobi as strong as Kisame Hoshigaki to near immobility. Once opening the eighth and final gate, Guy produces a flaming aura of red steam, his blood, emanating from his pores. His speed becomes enough to catch Madara in his Ten-Tails' jinchūriki form off-guard and is able to propel himself through the air with his kicks, creating a pseudo form of flight. With the eighth gate, he is able to use the Evening Elephant, a technique that gives his strikes such force, even consecutively, they can create powerful shockwaves that cannot be dodged and are nearly impossible to block.
Bukijutsu[]

Aside from his taijutsu repertoire, Guy is also highly skilled in a variety of weapons styles, having trained Tenten extensively in their respective usages. His personal weapon of choice is the nunchaku, but only resorts to using them when absolutely necessary. His great ferocity and skill with the weapon is enough that he was even a match for a swordsman as unique and deadly as Kisame. Aside from his regular set, Guy keeps a second, special pair of nunchaku with him, called the Sōshūga, with which he could effectively duel with Obito's gunbai and easily smash a large rock into pieces.
Other Skills[]
Guy summoning Ningame.
Despite his early shortcomings in ninjutsu and genjutsu, Guy later developed at least capable abilities in the two skills, able to dispel a high-level genjutsu, and summon nin-tortoises like Ningame or (in the anime) a much smaller messenger tortoise to deliver messages. Guy is at least knowledgeable of powerful techniques, recognizing and commenting on the Four Red Yang Formation during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Regardless, Guy makes a conscious effort to rely almost exclusively on taijutsu; even using regular disguises instead of the Transformation Technique.
In his rivalry with Kakashi, Guy has developed an effective counter against Sharingan-users: by focusing on the positioning of their feet, Guy can both predict the movements of the enemy and negate the Sharingan's necessity of having eye-contact for genjutsu techniques. Currently, Guy is the only ninja who can use this technique, though he has taught the basics of it to Asuma, Kurenai, and also Kakashi. In the anime, it is shown that Might Guy is knowledgeable in herbal remedies, regularly preparing them for Lee to help further his training.
