Why isn't Edo Tensei in Kabuto's Arsenal?

[kimb]

Why isn't Kabuto's edo tensei army taken into account in versus threads or in tiering threads? Him being able to control Madara, previous Kages, and akatsuki members would place him in at least top 10. Is there something I'm missing?

 

[Dãrth1]

For sure it is...

 

[FleeOnSight]

Take Madara outta there. He can break out whenever he feels like it.

OT: I agree. But match him up with minato and a contract seal would end all of that. Js lol

 

[Umari Senju]

Because no one really has anything to counter it and they consider it unfair. It's bull though. SO long as he's already done the prep (finding bodies DNA etc.) which you know he will have because he is a forward thinker like that, he would cream most of the NV.

Hell even without them he is a SAGE! Which means he is already a tier above most other ninja anyway!

 

[Tobi98]

That's kinda like counting Konan's attack against Obito and Shisui's KA

 

[Punk Hazard]

Because it's like saying "I'm not strong enough to handle this, you go do it."
It counts as his arsenal, it's his weapon, but it's not his power.

It's like someone destroying a building with a missile. They possessed a weapon to destroy it, but they themselves don't have the power to do so. I personallly don't count Edo Tensei as his power because it's not fighting with or from his own body

 

[Nigerianswagpapi]

He's top 10 without it but I dont think people consider it in his arsenal is because of the prep time.

 

[-Punk-]

Butthurts that's the only answer .

"Oh no , it solos my fave" "It's not fair T_T"

 

[Silver Wolf]

I guess cause it's so unfair, and with that Edo army even Iruka can make it to the top 10

No it's not. Konan's attack against Obito is a one time attack and Shisui's KA requires decades to recharge whereas Kabuto can use Edo tensei whenever he feels like it. It is a part of his arsenal because he learned it and collected the DNA required for it.

And yet no one complained when Orochimaru used the 1st and 2nd Hokage against Hiruzen... It's kind of a double standard yo.

Edo Tensei are akin to summoning jutsu. They are ninja not Samurai. They aren't suppose to fight honorably. If the user took the time to prep a mighty jutsu like this, all you can do is hope you are a suffincent sealer or you're a gonner, simple as that.

Yup you got it ^ Also this is nothing like Konan's attack , again ....people get butthurt because it's so OP .

But it doesn't matter if its fair, we're talking about facts here, not a game of duck duck goose. And not anyone can just learn Edo tensei like that, its a high rank jutsu. It takes skills to learn.

Hell, the attack Konan prepped and used on Obito would actually be a great counter to Kabuto's Edo Tensei army. All she need do is replace the exploding tags with millions of seal tags and then activate that sea of tags when she's ready. (that's provided she has sealing tags which isn't very far fetched.)

 

[kimb]

He's top 10 without it but I dont think people consider it in his arsenal is because of the prep time.

If he doesn't have to retrieve DNA every time he summons edos, there is no required prep time because he already has the army. Its been added to his arsenal.

 

[EKSITE]

because people on the base are bias and scared ,it puts there favorite character below kabuto and the only way to counter that is to claim it as not his power.

Plus has any edo tensei user gone into battle without having their trump jutsu prepped? That's like Gaara going into battle without his gourd of Sand...Edo Tensei is Kabuto's trump card. He isn't going into battle without having at least one or two edos preped and ready for battle.

It doesn't mean he is invincible, but if you are going into battle with an edo tensei user then you need to think ahead and either bring a ninja well versed in Fuuinjutsu like Sai or Minato, or have some really potent sealing tags ready to use.

I can agree to your part in Bold XD though Tobirama is no lord of mine, I'm not sure whether to praise him for this or condemn him. It's such an evil jutsu for one who is suppose to be a good guy XD

XD I used to be one of those guys. I was one of the biggest nay sayers about edo tensei because I didn't like the fact that it meant Kabuto surpassed my boy Kakashi. But I got over it. and realized that's how the dice role sometimes XD
