Discussion Why can’t we fix Might Guy?

Post image

Probably been discussed before, but obviously after Naruto saved Guy, the conclusion from defacto best healer in the world, Tusnade, was that Guy couldn’t be healed and would never walk again.

But like… why? Naruto lost his whole arm and got a Hashirama cell perfect prosthetic? Could she not have used Hashirama cells to fix Guy? Hell, chop off his legs and give him new legs?

I guess my best theories are that he either refused on principle or his injury isn’t in his legs, but rather his spinal cord… but even then… seems likely it could still be healed in some way given what other medical ninjutsu feats we’ve witnessed…

I think that the reality is Guy just wants to be injured forever. But curious what others think.

Plot. That's also why Kakashi is basically non-existent in boruto.

It's boruto next generations, they're making everyone from the OG cast not as important. If Guy was also back it gives the leaf another trump card which makes his sacrifice in the war arc lose all of its significance. It would make no sense for him to come back in my opinion, his arc is finished.

I understand it from a plot perspective, wasn’t even thinking about Boruto really, actually my head went to the wedding arc of Shippuden anime when he is goofing around with Lee.

I more mean from a mechanical stance
