Let's not go over board, it barely surpassed juugos healing ability

Get real, kisames entire body cavity was opened and the sword healed him in moments. Juugo did the same to sasuke and was returned to a child and unlike the yin seal byakugou combo it doesn't take years to replenish its reserves and can be done on the fly in combat. It definitely has its advantages over byakugou.

Karin could've did the same thing with her basic healing ability, even Kabuto could've did it with his yin healing destruction, part 2 Sakura has shown self healing feats in the sasori fight. Byakugou is teirs abover samehade

Samehada is better than karin and kabuto because it's independent of the user. No need to focus on biting, prep or hardly any thinking required because it's the sword that initiates the healing process leaving the user free to remain on offense. The reserves can be replenished in seconds unlike byakugou in which the user needs time, or outside help like tsunade needed karin. If anything samehada is tiers above byakugou in terms of utility when considering usage by a single individual.

Naruto didn't die instantly because of his Uzumaki heritage ( Kushina survived longer and had more vitality than Naruto) but he was still dying. He would have been completely dead if Sakura didn't keep his heart going with her chakra for a bit. That was the reason Gara went to Sakura before hurrying to where Minato and Obito were.

Yes, I'm well aware of the Uzumaki's ability to survive extraction. That's not what I said. "Biting the Dust" is slang for dying. My point was that if a Jinchuriki can voluntarily separate from its' tailed beast, then the threat of extraction is redundant. Voluntary separation was an example used to argue Bee's survival earlier in the thread, but I digress.

OT: I do remember that Bee is shown as being alive and well in the end credits where he's shown being pulled out of the water.

I don't know what this other person meant or if he was referring to eight tail leaving the chakra behind. But here is the page:


When Gyuki realized they won't be able to escape he instantly left one tentacle behind.

Seen, the page. But how does Gyuki cutting off a part of one tentacle helps to keep Been alive. It's like saying kurama cutting a part of his tail would have kept Naruto alive. In my opinion, the beast has already been extracted, cutting tail or tentacle doesn't negate the fact that beast is already extracted.

Unless the chakra from the jinchuriki is completely depleted, it can survive. And it wasn't extracted at the point. Bee and Kurama fight taking a form outside of Jinchuriki but they retain the connection and established for several chapters. Have you read the manga?

Hachibi divided enough biju chakra into his tentacle to let Bee live.

probably the only character whose plot armour rivals obito.

For the sake of simplicity it's less convoluted and more satisfying to have Bee's bijuu harvested. For the 10 Tails Arc to be a thing you may as well have your 'stakes elevated' death be the guy still with a Bijuu. Makes more sense than Neji. It's not just me wanting stakes, it's the fact that Kishi made Bijuu extraction lethal and doesn't stick with it.

It's Kishi who keeps writing Bee into these fatal scenes, not me.

Bee has a clever trick up his hand. Besides most of the times jinchurikies ended up dead due to extraction. So it's lethal enough.

Nah. Neji's death makes more sense. He was more close the main characters and his death forged a connection with Hinata.

I just remember being unsatisfied as to Bee's whereabouts when Madara sucked out Gyuki. It's not that he even survived, it's that there was an overflow of characters I cared about who you wouldn't even see month to month. The battlefield got overpopulated to the point I couldn't work out the geography of it or what everyone was doing in 2013/4.

Bee and everyone else's lack of a death or...lack of updates in general actively got in the way of my immersion.

Here are two guys who skipped the chapter despite wondering this since 2014.

Eight tails had left one tentacle of chakra behind to keep him alive.



Naruto didn't die instantly because of his Uzumaki heritage ( Kushina survived longer and had more vitality than Naruto) but he was still dying. He would have been completely dead if Sakura didn't keep his heart going with her chakra for a bit. That was the reason Gara went to Sakura before hurrying to where Minato and Obito were.

But why only bee though, if that where the case couldn't any of the bijuu just have cut a piece of themselves off and done the same?

Edit: I'm not arguing how he survived now, I saw the scan. But now shouldn't any of the bijuu be able to do this?

This has always seemed to be a unique trait of the Eight Tails. If you remember Bee escaped his battle with Sasuke in a similar way.

Also unlike byakugo, samehada doesn't expend your life force. Samehada >>> byakugo. :sigar:

I'm fine with that, as he just cut off a tentacle and hid in it. But when they take it to obito he couldn't use it, he didn't duck survive an extraction. I guess it could a gyuki specific thing, it's just odd that none naruto couldn't just do the same with kurama. Even though that wasn't necessary cause they had the other half for him
