He also said he would take his EMS until he got his original eye back.
So yeah. He was going for his original eyes the whole time.
Are you seriously asking me why Madara would choose to grow his power 100 fold before going into a fight, rather than gimping himself for no reason at all?
Do you read your own questions?
Do you have an imagination if not its no used to talk with you. You said Madara a gimp person?
Even without growing his power 100 fold, he still able to defeat 4 people at Obito's location including Obito.
Obito was not a problem here because if BZ stop attaching his body on Obito, he will die and Màdara can take the rinnegan. After that get the 3rd eye before becoming JJ.
For Gaara, Kakashi and Minato, He can use limbo on them similar to what he did to Bijuu.
Madara already beat Edo Tobirama, what Edo Minato can do to make a difference with just one arm?
You think handicapped Madara with just one rinnegan plus SM power, black rod couldnt beat them?
The question here, why he needed to be JJ first before he went to obtained 3rd eye?
If you cant answered very logical question, dont tried to posting like that
