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

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.

I hold Oro's use of Edo Tensei and Summoning Animals to the same degree as Kabuto's use of Edo Tensei. It's getting someone else to fight for you. It's like Killer Bee, Naruto and Itachi vs Nagato. Together, they were able to defeat Nagato. However, at the time, none of them were able to defeat Nagato individually. But with your reasoning, a tag team between the two means Itachi>Nagato, KCM Naruto>Nagato, Killer Bee>Nagato, and that's not true. Once you've brought in a Edo Tensei, or a summoning animal, it's no longer 1 vs 1, it's tag teaming, and therefore, it's not your power or feat anymore. See what I'm saying?

Be butthurt for the Viz

Those words are coming from Kabuto, who was deluded about himself and his identity and had to be changed by Izanami. He also made claims like he was the closest in power to the Sage at that time, and that he'd defeat Itachi and Sasuke. His statement isn't reliable.

Butthurts that's the only answer .

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

I could just as easily say something as equally childish like the opposite side of the argument is fanboys sucking Kabuto's ****.

Yes I'm a fanboy but it doesn't change the fact that people b1tch about OP feats that some of the character have , Kamui , Obitos Kamui , FTG , Edo Tensai , Senju DNA etc . This verse is not a school where you need to follow some fighting rules or it doesn't count , people who do that are childish :O

No one said anything about it being a school and you have to follow rules.
Do not get me wrong, I am not saying Kabuto can't use Edo Tensei in a fight and use the numbers gain to achieve victory.

But I'm sure if Minato was fighting Kabuto one on one, was being overwhelmed, then used FTG to bring a different shinobi to fight and defeat Kabuto for him, like Madara or Guy, you wouldn't be saying Minato>Kabuto in these threads.

I think Kabuto is top 10 with or without edo tensei. You've also got to take into consideration that Kabuto was using loads of strategy in controlling them and deciding where they go. He wasn't just like "Edo Tensei, kthxbye". He decided where to place the edos, he controlled them and brought out/took away Edos when necessary. Kind of like a really complicated chess game. Now that's not easy, sharp mind and strategic warfare right there and not many people are capable of that.

Not everyone has a sealing technique. It's the only way to really win.

This, it's not a feat to his power, but to his intellect and strategic mind.

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

Wtf? Don't spread this nonsense

he controlled the edos when he was isolated alone. Not in the heat of battle. As long as prep time is given , he should have edos availabe in vs battles

You can't fight and control the edos at the same time, you dumbass. Why don't you try playing chess while someone else is trying to beat you up.

Because he can summon Madara and kill everyone? :/

He can obviously solo most NV 1v1, but ET is not a weapon for 1v1 fight.

Orochimaru fought with his edos while Kabuto hid in a cave becauseehe would get fodderized on the battle field if he went out there himself

actually you are mistaken in this. Orochimaru did just that. Hiruzen was holding his own against the 1st and 2nd then started getting roughed up when Orochimaru ju.ped in the fray with his sword.

that's because Orochimaru had only 2 Edo tensei and took their will away which allowed him to control them much easier. Kabuto revived a small army of edos and was controlling them all remotely with their wills intact. The purpose of that was to cause discord in the opponents minds causing them to hesitate since they were literally fighting former teachers, friends, and family.

Huge difference. Plus lets not forget that Kabuto took on 2 of the strongest Uchiha known to history alone...in Sage Mode. Kabuto is no fodder with or without edos

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

I agree with this.
