What has been illogical? What has been PNJ?

Lately, people have been claiming everything to be PNJ or illogical writing. I am here to discuss that. Now, it is true that I can't explain the eyeless susanoo and Tsunade surviving what Madara did to her. However, I have found nothing else to be illogical. I will now address how many "illogical" issues have actually been logical and not PNJ. I will only stick to stuff in the recent war time (because debate will last forever if I discuss everything from the beginning of the series to now).

1. People say that Madara surviving the bijuus' assault was a plot shield and illogical. How so? Madara has Senju DNA which has long been established as basically the miracle cure of the NV. Furthermore, he has Hashirama's sage mode and sage mode is said to make the user very durable. He also has Hashirama's regeneration abilities. Now Madara had already stated many chapters ago that he planned to take Hashirama's sage mode. Therefore this mode (and the durability and regeneration that comes with it) is not something that Kishi just thought up on the spot just for the sake of plot. It was actually planned in adavance by Kishi (and by Madara in universe). Therefore it is not PNJ and it is not illogical. It is just a villain being successful with his plan.

2. Madara being able to absorb chakara without eyes is not PNJ or a sudden power up. It makes sense because there have been plenty of non dojutsu wielding shinobi in the series that have been able to absorb chakara. Remember Orochimaru and Yoroi (the guy who fought Sasuke in the churning exams preliminaries). Plus, Madara stated that an underling of an acquaintance taught him how to absorb energy, so Madara already had that ability to begin with.

3. Madara's revival was not illogical and not just PNJ. Once again, this was Madara's plan all along. Madara even stated this! He tried it once before on Obito. It makes perfect sense that it would work once Obito was weakened.

4. Big one: Obito's defeat was not illogical and it was not PNJ in the slightest! Obito was not defeated by words! He was defeated by a senjutsu susanoo Kurama sword slash followed by having multiple beasts ripped out of his body! That is a pure battle technique. The TNJ only came after Obito got slashed. How was this illogical or PNJ? Naruto had already planned to seperate the bijuus back out any way. This was planned well in advance by Naruto and Kurama! Obito becoming the jinchuuriki was just a slight set back to this plan. Therefore this was not illogical and it was not PNJ. It was just a successful plan executed by Naruto and Kurama! If you think it is illogical because the alliance should be dead and that Obito did not use his full power, think again. The fact that Obito did not use rinnegan was purely due to Obito's stupidity! Obito didn't even really use the rinnegan besides outer path even when he had the mask on! Therefore, Obito's stupid choice to not use the rinnegan was established long before he became the 10 tails jinchuuriki. The same goes for wood style. Plus, Obito has always been a spammer. As soon as he awakened MS, after killing those Kiri ninjas, all he ever typically used was Kamui! Did he use wood style or fire style against Minato? No! Did he use it against Konan? No! Did he even eject shuriken? No! Would these things have helped? Yes! But did he use them? No! Why not? Because Obito is a stupid spammer that doesn't grasp the concept that your enemies will eventually figure out your weakness if you keep spamming the same jutsu over and over again! Having said that, is it really a surprise to you that Obito simply started spamming the black technique since he couldn't use Kamui as the jinchuuriki? This was stupidity that Obito demonstrated from the start! PNJ can't be blamed for a villain's stupidity! Therefore Obito's defeat was not illogical writing on Kishi's part. It was just stupidity on Obito's part (which technically shows that Kishi was being true to Obito's character).

5. The Kyuubi chakara cloaks that the alliance got was not PNJ. These cloaks were actually what Shikaku planned for in his final moments. They were planned out. Anything that is planned out is not illogical or PNJ. It was just a successful plan to keep the alliance alive! They were not made up on the fly all of a sudden. Saying that the cloaks were PNJ or illogical is like saying that a police officer wearing a bullet proof vest is illogical! It is a planned out safety measure to keep the officer alive. The same goes for the alliance and the cloaks.

6. Naruto surviving having his chakara absorbed by the shinju and being able to fight is not PNJ. Hiruzen and Tobirama cut the roots and saved Naruto before the shinju was able to absorb all of Naruto's chakara. You can call this luck on Naruto's part, but luck is not illogical. It is just luck.

There are many other instances that are not actually PNJ or illogical that you guys complain about, but I am tired of ranting.

Morals of the story: Anything that is actually planned out in advance and carried out is not illogical and it is not PNJ.
Just because a hero does not die, does not mean that it is PNJ.
Obito was simply stupid.
Luck is not illogical unless it is something like a random bird somehow dropping a boulder on the villain out of nowhere.

PNJ is when something is not actually planned out in universe and the writer just makes up something that wasn't established to be possible on the spot. All of the stuff that I listed was planned out!

The end. Discuss.

Since you seem to find everything has an explanation, explain to me why Madara was able to summon the Mazou from Obito despite the fact that it was sealed in Obito when he couldn't summon Kurama even though Kurama was inside of Naruto. I've been wondering this for some time now and was never given a good answer.

Most likely cuz obito was too weakened and had no chakra to fuel the seal.

OP: The list is far too great and i've lost the count, usually illogical goes with pnj hand to hand.

How would they have even grasp him otherwise? Nerfed for the plot sake.

Naruto has a really really good and air-tight seal on Kurama

Obito merely absorbed Shinju within himself

That is why lol
EDIT: And Obito was severely weakened... it would have been illogical for it to not work on Obito lol

Obito was severely weakened and he had just been in juubi mode. Remember when Kushina's seal was weakened or when Naruto's was weakened in road to ninja? Kurama was easily able to come out then. The bijuus had just been pulled out of Obito, so that alone probably broke the seal. The mazou was just sitting there in an open box basically. It was just a matter of getting it out. Also, the seal weakens when a jinchuuriki is low on life force (and Obito was about to die after using rinne tensei).

Fair enough, these all make sense to me.

OT: Why was Obito able to control a perfect jinchuuriki like Yagura with genjutsu when perfect jins are supposed to be able to break out of genjutsu with ease?

Excellent. Agreed 99%.

My only problem is that the susano sword through Boito's gut should have split him in 2, not rip his chakra out. Naruto certainly doesn't have full control over SAS uke's susano'o and Sasuke didn't want obito nor the bijuu alive. Obito surviving that without a crit damage is an asspull.

Not all genjutsus break when a partner disturbs your chakara. Take Itachi's tsukuyomi for instance. It took a curse mark powered sharingan to break that. Itachi even stated that only someone of his bloodlines could break it. He wouldn't have spoken about it so confidently knowing that there were multiple jonin there that could disturb Kakashi's chakara if he knew that there was such a simple solution to break the genjutsu. Also, Sasuke's genjutsu was not as strong as Obito's or Itachi's. The ease at which a genjutsu can be broken depends on the power of the genjutsu.

PS. You are asking good questions.

The sword of Sword of Nunoboko, the sword of Rikudo Sennin which is said to have created the world, losing to the power of friendship.

Perfect jin doesnt necessarily implies friendship with biju, only the control over biju chakra/power.

Putting both yagura and biju into genjutsu as obito did with fuu n torune?

Strong hypnotic command w/o illusions that biju couldnt notice?

I thought he would be split in two at first as well. However, he was stated to have regeneration abilities as the juubi's jinchuuriki. If Tsunade could survive being cut in half, then it would be even more illogical for the juubi's jinchuuriki to not survive.

Provide proof that the Kyuubi cloak was Shikakus plan.

This statement is the problem I'm talking about. It didn't lose to the power of friendship. It lost to a senjutsu susanoo sword. It was already explained that senjutsu was what kept the susanoo sword from being negated. Furthermore, force equals mass times acceleration. If Naruto and Sasuke were accelerating more than Obito (and depending on what the masses of the swords were) then the basic physics of the concept of force as well as conservation of momentum laws would dictate that the sword of nunoboku would break. In other words, it was pure strength. Nothing more. Therefore it was not illogical. Just because friendship was mentioned does not mean that friendship was what broke the sword.
