Basically how was Orochimaru expecting to summon Minato's soul, when it was in the belly of Shinigami/Reaper?

Maybe it wasn't going to work anyway, and Hiruzen actually didn't do shit.

So the much cited "Neutralizer" of Hiruzen was all for nothing? That'll get the goat of some Hiruzen fans.

I think it was a jab at Hiruzen to show he knew a lot of jutsu too

If you didn't already know that, you should just quit the manga.

I think i got it.
You know how edo tensei needs a human sacrifice right? He coulvde synced the soul of the sacrifice to the edo tensei & make it the edos soul. Just my theory

Neutralizer GG U_U.....................Lol

He failed to bring back Minato, Kabuto had explained it, because his soul was trapped in the Shinigami's belly. No plothole.

I think Orochimaru only had Minato's Edo body, he just failed to summon the soul of Minato.

Did Kabuto really? I guess Kishi must have realized his error and corrected it. So many chapters, I must have forgotten it being brought up. So Hiruzen's attempt to cancel the summon would've had no effect regardless. If Minato's soul hadn't been sealed away in the Shinigami that is.

I think that Kishi had planned all these from the start. Why did he choose to not bring back Naruto's father anyway in that fight?

I believe he had thought of the idea that Minato used Shiki Fuujin to seal Kurama, the same jutsu that Hiruzen used to seal Shodaime and Nidaime. Hiruzen even said in that fight that Shiki Fuujin is Yondaime's jutsu.

Here is Kabuto's explanation.

Orochimaru probably didn't know that you can't summon anyone that has used the shinigami jutsu.
