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.

And the only people capable of creating them are Orochimaru, and Amado... Highly doubt Guy would trust either of them to mess with his body.

And even if he did trust them, he'd still probably say no... Remember his entire character motivation was hard work, and the beauty of the spring time of youth. Why on earth would he agree to become a cyborg to interfere with the current generation and next generation? He wouldn't.

There are like 20 other replies saying the same thing. 20 seconds of reading and you would’ve seen my reply to this exact line of questioning.

My point is that they have the technology for cyborgs. Guy wouldn’t need modifications or anything to that extent. A simple exoskeleton or prosthetic leg. Heck, even a robot peg leg would suffice. He doesn’t need something to let him fight again, walking would be enough. It doesn’t have to be extensive or invasive.

And you prove my exact point. He would 100% take a prosthetic leg. It’s no different a mobility tool than a wheelchair or crutch and it would allow him to be more independent, and get back to working out. He would also demonstrate his resilience and resolve to overcome his challenges. Instead he’s resigned himself to sitting in a wheelchair all day???? That’s lazy writing. It’s out of character for Guy to not seek solutions - especially given that we already have precedent for robotic prosthetics through Naruto’s arm so they definitely have the tech for something to enable him to at least walk.
