4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
LOL ZERO MUCH.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
UMMM AS HOT AS KISAME WOULD BE PHYSICALLY Gai and Kisame to me are too far opposite of each other on the moral compass/philosophical compass scale. The only way I can ship people that are that opposite in morals is if they have a past together or some deep way they can relate to each other, and uh since we don't know the past of either I'll just say I shallowly ship Kisame and Gai tearing each other to shreds in a vicious battle.
Kakashi!! Totally love GaiKaka, even if I don't see it ever being full blown romantic because Kakashi has so much to gain from anything with Gai while he has very little to offer him. They are wonderful comrades and I do ship it, just on a weird level.
ANKO! Gai/Anko is hot as hell to me and I can just totally see it, even if he'd make her super uncomfortable first with his romance and old fashioned ways.
Gai/Tsume would be hot as helllll.
GaiNeji, SEE WHO DOESNT MAKE SENSE but really GaiNeji and GaiTen. Not GaiLee because the power imbalance is too apparent, and there are LINES in that relationship and it is just so much adorable soulmateness that I don't see a reason to try to shift it to romantic/sexual and make Gai and Lee angst over having really really inappropriate feelings when they are perfect for each other right now as they are as BFF master and pupil.
But with Neji and Tenten (okay cultural anthropology major geek coming out this is where I am apathetic to age difference and can see a huge disparity between a teacher and a student in a classroom setting and a teacher and a student who fight ninja shit and go around camping out together and spending day in day out fighting with each other and yeah w/e *UNASHAMED*) idk, both don't see him as this INFALLIBLE AMAZING PERFECT PERSON like Lee does, and both kind of (wrongly) see themselves as more mature than him so it's easy for me to think it would be cuuuute and hilarious and embarrassing and not like, creepy on the level I think GaiLee is since if gai told lee to jump off a cliff he'd do it (NOT TO JUDGE PEOPLE WHO LIKE THAT, BECAUSE .. I GUESS I CAN SEE WHERE THEY COME FROM. I mean seriously, if it WOULDN'T give Gai guilt issues from hell? Those two would be absolutely perfect for each other. I like entertaining the thought of them being students together :) then it suddenly becomes OTP level. Gai being Lee's cooler, one-year-older friend that inspires him and believes in him and Lee crushes on like mad. And Gai totally beats up Neji and Sasuke and anyone who picks on him. And uh yeah anyway).
Um GaiShizune could be cute? IDK thats all I can think of. But Gai is hot with almost anyone to me :\ and so self-assured that I can't see him bringing anything bad into a relationship. Other than embarrassing people with intimacy.
WOW TL;DR, I PROMISE AS MUCH TL;DR WITH KIBA AN DNEJI JUST FOR YOU.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
BACKSTORY PLZ. CUTE ... PANELS OF BACKSTORY. Okay I just want to see his sensei. Except not anymore since the writing is such shit.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I'd. Be temporarily very very heterosexual for him and throw himself at him???
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyes.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Only if I thought the person was cool enough to comprehend his amazingness.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
ER in a very shallow way. People say he's funny and like him but he gets no fanworks just like kiba gets no fanworks because happy people with no angst can never have sex lives or fall in love or be interesting i guess. Also fandom for some reason thinks he talks like Shakespeare and he and lee talk about youth 24/7 ;lkla;eaw
