Sukuna’s run was the most definitive gauntlet I can think of.
Half of Madara’s “gauntlet” run really doesn’t even count because Edo Tensei grants infinite stamina and regen, which defeats the whole purpose of a gauntlet
This. There's also the unfortunate part where almost the second Madara became "vulnerable" (barely, he still powercliffed the verse, its just thar he could no longer facetank Particle Style......luckily for him, Ohnoki was already done by that point. Lol) he then powered up massively and became so overwhelming thar a gauntlet was pretty much meaningless anyway. Literally nobody prior to Gai did anything meaningful.
And then AFTER that Naruto and Sasuke showed up and were arguably outright stronger than him.......or, not eve arguably really, Six Paths SM Naruto was kinda working the shit out of him, without even having to use his chakra mode. Lmao. Madara had to power up like 3 times just to stay relevant after that, while Naruto and Sasuke pretty competebly handled everything he did. Then he turned into a balloon abd exploded because he got shanked bya plant. 😅
Like, whar kind of gauntlet is it when you aren't taking any real damage (no matter how minor) from anybody for 90% of it, and somehow managed to turn into the underdog the first time ANYBODY can fight you on your level? Lol. Still fries me to this day that this man RAN AWAY from Sasuke and got cut in half for his trouble. At least he neg diffed Kakadhi as he ran past him, but if he couldn't do THAT then that would genuinely be embarrassing.......
