I think it's "guy-uh." This website is anime based, meaning the pronunciation is probably intended to be similar to Japanese. In that case, "guy-uh" would be the proper pronunciation.

It's a word of Greek origin; Greek doesn't have a "juh" sound, as far as I know of. Therefore, I think it's more likely "Guy-uh."

Also, I think it's supposed to be spelled "Gaea" but I'm not sure.

"Gaia" is a Japanese word. Therefore, you must pronounce it how they would in Japanese. Here's the basic sounds:
A - "aah" like "lorax"
I - "eeh" like "bleach"
U - "ooh" like "über"
E - "eh" like "anime"
O - "oh" (I can't think of a word for this one.)
Thus, you pronounce Gaia like "Guy-ah"

Shichimaru "Gaia" is a Japanese word. Therefore, you must pronounce it how they would in Japanese. Here's the basic sounds: A - "aah" like "lor ax" I - "eeh" like "bl each" U - "ooh" like " über" E - "eh" like "anim e" O - "oh" (I can't think of a word for this one.) Thus, you pronounce Gaia like "Guy-ah" Oh god. Do NOT use über as an example. über is pronounced with a sound unlike anything we have in English. Nevermind the fact that Gaia isn't a Japanese word.

Definitely Guy-uh, but then again, that is simply my opinion.
