When Kishimoto writes himself into a corner...
A) "I dont really want to explain the past 16 years, so Minato already saw everything"

I'm not bashing Minato, he's my fav.

I'm saying that if something important that will change the pace of the manga needs to happen, Minato causes it mostly

You should stick with my story. I like irritating smd.

When did he have time to get KCM? he died and then he was brought back with edo and he suddenly knew how to use KCM. It took naruto a while to get and learn how to control KCM

peoples forget that Hashirama and Tobirama are raped and pinned down like insects.
at least minato tried to fight back . That's the ultimate example of perseverance. The true example of will of fire.

That has nothing to do with this thread, but I agree

A. Completely reasonable and ongoing occurrence throughout the manga, which makes it cohesive and well within bounds of the story he created, an example? orochimaru in anko

B. Minato ''got'' the other half by performing the reaper death seal, this became obvious from the moment sarutobi used it vs orochimaru

C. I agree quite iffy, as we did not get introduced to him having it before, however Naruto relied on KCM and BM throughout the war despite having sage mode, would make sense he immediately used the former rather than the latter until necessary. Still could have been written better, but very ambiguous statements from ''pa'' [who btw how does he know minato if otherwise], regarding Naruto surpassing minato and jiraiya can make up for this, depending on the reader.

D. Again one handed seals were present in Haku, not brand spanking new, Haku was a genius, Minato was a genius

E. For someone who just had his ass handed to him, its seems he can't even function properly, Gai turning up was already foreshadowed in the previous chapters, if anything a better question is where is lee and tenten


TBH the manga boils down to how you perceive it, like all manga i have read, there are many moments i felt the writer could have written better, but everything can be considered a plot device if you analyse it in some aspect
