I heard about Gai doesn't exist in Obito's perfect world, and eager to provide bits of scenes from manga, please bear it with me hehe
I wonder why Asuma, Kurenai (fellow Jounin Sensei), Genma, Ebisu (literally Gai's teammates), Hayate, Aoba (even I forgot about them) and freaking Iruka (who isn't even their generation) were there but Gai wasn't.
Gai : In his dream, he smiled at everyone but me? 😡
In this panel Gai exists, although was quite far away from Obito (and Kakashi).
And on this panel Gai (and his genin team, wtf Obito!) are also absent and I had no idea why Kakashi is as big as Killer B in Obito's comrade fantasy.
Another Team Gai being absent (well Obito you do... kill Neji...)
Obito opted to take Gai out first before naruto who is his target and Kakashi who is Rin's "killer" and the holder of his intangibility counter.
There are also some beef from Gai's side, like this little side eye
Gai surged forward to fight the battle-ready Kakashi, only for Obito to stand in front of him and be kicked mercilessly (you should thank Gai, Obito, he saved you from choking).
Gai's sour grimace when he knew who is behind the mask and his harsh words to Kakashi was like dude wth I worked so hard to pull my rival out of his depressive state.
So yeah, the semi-headcanon that Obito and Gai don't really like each other is quite funny and valid haha
This has made my entire week. Obikaka = frenemies-to-enemies-to-lovers, Kakagai = childhood 'rivals' and besties to lovers, Gaibito = hate loathe maul bite kill
