Gai basically starts 99% of all the problems of the show, but I do kind of feel like those problems were only made worse by other individuals? I think the biggest one is in 35. Where ZAIA attempts to storm the MBJR base. On my rewatch of it (after knowing what happened in the V-Cinemas), I was kinda on Gai's side on this one.

Yes, Gai causes the Ark to go berserk and get MBJR formed, but 35 had him go out of his way to attempt to dismantle it. Many of the conflicts stemming from 35 onwards was because Aruto basically blocked Gai from taking down MBJR and possibly the Ark as well.

That issue I suppose can be chalked up to Ohmori basically not knowing what to do with Gai. IIRC, him overhearing people's dislike over Gai is what made him have Gai just utterly losing each fight he was in the later parts of the show, thinking would be more satisfied to just see him weekly messing with the cast and then losing. Which was, not really what people wanted out of Gai.
