Regardless kisame would have still lost to gai. Had he survived the seventh gate. Gai would have opened the 8th and stomped him.
That may be true but bee isnt fighting kenpachi kisame is. And you cant attribute bee's feats to kisame.
Killer Bee only had that handicap before they started fighting, and when they were in the huge bubble. All the other times, including when they escaped the bubble, Killer Bee had ample chances to win. But he couldn't.
I just showed you. That, and the fact that the Hachibi was unable to even hurt ONE of the second form Jinchuriki's, all point to them being almost as strong as the biju themselves, but also much faster, and smaller.
Why would Gai have opened the 8th gate? That would have been the biggest fail in fictional history. Kisame wasn't that important to begin with. And if he did, Kabuto could have brought him back with edo tensei, and made him constantly be in eight gate mode, and the shinobi alliance would have not stood a chance. Even Naruto and Sasuke would have been raped.
Anyway, why does it matter that Kisame would have lost to Gai either way? Kenpachi would probably get raped by base Gai, or at least 1st or 2nd gate.
I CAN link their feats together. If their abilities are relied upon physically, and the other can replicate or outdo them with the same means, then the other CAN ACHIEVE those feats, whether or not they have demonstrated so on panel. That's like saying that Goku can't blow up planets, even though Vegeta can.
