i have seen many people who seem to not understand what madara really meant when he made that statement, mainly hashirama's fans, but hopefully this thread will clear things up.
if you look very carefully at the important words in that statement, you will know what madara meant. first word is ''only'', second word ''could'' and third word is ''ever'', these 3 words have a thing in common, and that is the ''past'', yes madara is talking about the past, when hashirama was the only opponent he ever faced that managed to stop him, this is basically what he meant, he was talking about the past, how do we know that? the word ''could'', is a past tense for ''can'', and he also says ''ever'', which also indicates about the past.
see, its simple, not hard to understand you know, you just need to concentrate on the words and you will know what is meant by it.
Thank you*_*
