Basically what the title says. Orochimaru being relevant was hinted many times during this war arc - Guruguru and CS, his talk with Sasuke, taking over Zetsu etc. So was Kishimoto doing this only to tease Oro fans or is there something planned for him in the future?

What are your thoughts on this?

Absolutely not, not enough time or asspulls to make him relevant.

I feel like some closure is required at the very least. So yes.

The Orochimaru we see is just a copy of the original whose still trapped with in Itachi's seal. I would say no.

Doubt he'll become majorly relevant. Like there's not enough time for him to become the FV at this point.
He might play some good sideline role.

If Kishi just brought him back to revive the Kages I'm going to be super pissed off.

Well, prior to his revival no one would've ever imagined Oro coming back. Then Kishi heavily hinted on things related to Orochimaru.

What was the actual point in Oro taking over Zetsu? The point of semi-flashback with Sasuke|Orochimaru and his reason for crushing Konoha? Cursed Seal on Guruguru?

I hope so,the Snake needs to make a big comeback since every other villain has been TNJed besides Madara.

Lol nope
Kishi just never cared enough about him.
What could have been Kishi's most interesting antagonist/villain,turned into a cheap plot device and Sasuke's chaperone.

Yeah, actually... I believe Kishi never even mentioned Orochimaru in any of his interviews. Also, I'm not 100% sure but I think ppl in Japan don't really like Orochimaru so it may be another reason for him having like no relevance to the story :(

He will. He might do something with IT, him already being a White Zetsu beforehand and all. But he will definitely be involved with Kabuto before the end.
