He wasnt capable of using it because it would take him over. Now that he is edo he can use it as his chakra is fixed stable. Now please stop argueing about such a logical thing.

He probably did use it when he was alive, we just never saw a flashback featuring it...

Kishi did this to spice things up cuz ppl kept calling his anime boring! So he had to shock us somehow Lol

It makes sense, but the simple fact is that Minato having SM was forced and came out of nowhere. I don't even recall him having time to build up the SM, it literally just happened. Thats the problem I have with it. I don't care if he does or doesn't have it, but its pretty much the same as if the very first panel of the next chapter is Naruto suddenly appearing in front of Madara without any explanation as to how he survived.

Omg rofl. If he wouldve had it then he wouldve used it in the foght with kurama as he would never have been impaled in perfect sage mode.

Having in mind how much time it took for Jiraiya to be in Sennin Mode when he fought Pain, yes, Minato's Sennin Mode is an asspull xD.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If that's your argument, then he could have used it earlier when they found out only Senjutsu effects Juubito.

But, this isn't really an important topic anymore, imo it's been drawn out since Wednesday.

well Minato has sagemode, you can either deal with it and accept reality, or continue to cry over it. Either way, the fact is Minato has sagemode whether you like it or not.

Minato did not know how to gather nature chakra by himself back then. He probably learned it from wathing his son gather his'. (Sorry for double post, cant merge comment because of phone)

The Minato that was sealed in DRS and the Minato the was in Naruto's seal, don't share a consciousness. You should have realized this when Edo-Minato didn't recognize Sakura.

Remember when Naruto went to get his sage training at the front gate, the frog elder pulled out the scroll and it was Naruto's name, Minato, then Jiraiya's.

So he did have a contract and could of trained there to get it. I don't think the frogs know that Naruto is Minato's son, hence why all they talk about is the Pervy Sage when they trained.

Just my humble observation.

you should have realized that this is not the only time "minato" has seen naruto fight/gather nature energy. it is known that he could sense nature energy AND was a sensor type too if he choose to, so he most likely sensed how naruto was doing it.

nah, the speed that minato gathered the sage mode chakra tells us that he could have used it vs kurama had that been the case. oh, and secondly; pa frog mentioned minato and jiraya when naruto fought pain

the fact that he didn't use it against juubito and there was no foreshadowing makes it seem asspulled

i agree that kishimoto has way to little imagination and could have done something way better, but at least this is explainable by thinking about it rationally.

I like your theory but until its further explained by kishi I will still consider it among the greatest of his ass pulls.
