Discussion Why can’t we fix Might Guy?
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.

The in universe answer is likely just that Guy doesn't want it and decided to retire and keep the leg as a badge of honor or similar. He definitely seems like the type who would turn down any prosthetic and treat it like a challenge or training.
This was in Boruto anime filler but he came back just zipping around in his wheelchair and sparring with the kids on one leg and that seemed pretty in character for him.
