This guy deserves a nobel prize xd How did you come up with your incredible theory?I also had another thought and idea to add to the discussion. What if the 6th coffin is not anything related to madara directly. But it is actually the Sage of Six Paths. :S
ok sorry bout late response....but better late then never right?!you have a very good theory here!
but before i go through my own details, i'd like you to personally answer the following questions:
1. do you have a bit of suspicion who tobi is right now?...still "not being madara"?
2. do you believe in what madara's deception could bring in as ideas in your exemplary theory? tobi-madara's mask? why wear it? tobi-madara's changeable personalities from then hereon this 527 chap?
3. why show himself as madara to "kisame" only? and where is kisame?
4. edo tensei's explanation of the pure world is still questionable. during harashima-madara fight, there was no edo tensei in place for the 1st or madara's disposal. i mean, madara could have been killed "physically" but his spiritual self was a success against the great harashima -- here i mean, he got harashima's dna in a "bodily defeat". did madara know such a forbidden jutsu?
now going back to your 6th coffin theory...
mine was 1. so6p and 2. madara
...and i repeat, so6p could be edo tensei "if and only if" kabuto got the access to the sage's tomb and got the opportunity to get dna samples from preserved bones.
then...here is yours, madara could be edoed as well provided that madara died and kabuto accessed his dna.
---*an important observation would be...why would tobi-madara be rattled in the sight of an "edo-madara"? tobi-madara as a shell of his former self (my opinion) is still more powerful than an edo madara. this is so because, kabuto will be the one to control the summon. tobi-marara and edo-madara would probably engage in a talk no jutsu fight (lol) and eventually edo madara's soul be released again. should kabuto twitches edo madara's mind, tobi-madara would really easily dispose of an edo madara (look at zabuza and kakashi fight...)
---tobi-madara and edo madara would be "under a terrible space/time jutsu not known in the Naruto manga world" should they fight and create contact with themselves..."*no two identical identities would be able to exist at the same space at the same time*"(a basic scientific concept") - this was my premise why tobi-madara was hesitant to engage kabuto and was forced to ally with the serpent...even with the rinnegan-- i believe.
harashima could contain a bijuu---this is assumed. if he could seal...remains a wait and see theory...probable assumption as well...
if madara soul was sealed..say with an SF type of jutsu only the 1st had, i guess madara couldn't be summoned--right?
tobi-madara's desire to get "the reincarnation jutsu" from nagato is still a query. we saw a nagato rinne tensei (and was explained) to be able to bring the dead back to life within "a limited time frame" -- after the death- only.
tobi-madara would be referring to something else here...and one of kishi's cards and aces....
lastly, 527 showed atsui and samui's still alive after their souls were pulled out, cut free and cursed. psyche power was still intact with them. but the chap showed they were already helpless. they were just babbling until their souls were sealed.
your theory will be "magnified" should darui manage to pull this fight off after his soul was pulled out, cut free and cursed.
it is an honor to be invited to this great thread!
ok sorry bout late response....but better late then never right?!
1- no i'm sold on this one
2- i think i am getting a better grasp of the truth hidden within his lies.....and well he was wearing it before to hide his identity.....and who knows he just be keeping it on from habbit or maybe cuz itachi trap is active indefinitly.....plus its kind of to his advantage to keep his foes guessing
3- this ones hard to guess....... but i figure they bumped into one another during his time controlling the mizukage.....and well since it seems kisame is a fan of the blood mist ways i'm guessing they got along great.........kisame knew that his village leader was being controlled.. (samehada probably sensed him).. but he didn't care cuz he enjoyed his free license to kill that came with madara's orders.. and well since madara was keeping the other akatsuki in the dark he was acting as tobi.....and with itachi gone, kisame was probably going to bounce
4- i'm saying he hasn't ever died......his soul was somehow stripped of his body and now resides in the pure world.....left there for kabuto to summon as he wishes.....(kabuto simplely needs dna,a living body and a soul residing in the pure world to preform edo tensai)
thats why he needed nagato's tech./felt betrayed
and why he was stunned at the sight of the 6th edo.......and didn't want to fight at the time (he probably felt he could win he had to.....as he knows himself better than anyone......however it wouldn't of been easy)
think about it he didn't start getting too cheaky with kabuto until after he obtained rinnegan, at which time he regained the upper hand
and in regards to darui and his soul.....well he doesn't have access to hajirama's dna.......that is what i believe has allowed madara to make it this far
the only thing you brought up that stumped was the time issure with nagatos tech.......i dont recall there being a time limit......it seemed to me the time limit nagato spoke of, was his own.....could he finish the technique before he ran out of chakra and died?
hope this helps clarify things.......and yes i know i hop back and forth over the fence quit ofter.......but imma chill on this side for a bit..
peace out
soooo.... you are saying that tobi/madara/masked man does not have madara's soul or anything and that he is just another person.4- i'm saying he hasn't ever died......his soul was somehow stripped of his body and now resides in the pure world.....left there for kabuto to summon as he wishes.....(kabuto simplely needs dna,a living body and a soul residing in the pure world to preform edo tensai)
Im not sure that's what he ment. He suggests that Madaras soul is trapped in pure world (or somewhere else) and the Madara we see now is somewhat souless but a conciouss being.I've thought about this, and it's not possible for Madara/Tobi to be an Edo Summon, and for Kabuto to also have Madara as an Edo Summon at the same time.
Madara's soul can only exist in one place at one time.
If you want to say the current Madara'Tobi is an Edo Summon, that is interesting, but I would disagree, we have seen him be hurt and injured and he did not regenerate the way that the Edo Summons do...so this is ruled out because it does not conform with what we know about Edo Summons...
If you want to say that the real Madara is in the sixth coffin, that is interesting as well, and can not really be entirely disproved. However, he can not be both at the same time. The real Madara can not be alive and an Edo Summon simultaneously. His soul can only exist in one place at any one time. This theory fails simply because you are saying that is possible for his soul to be in two places at the same time.
Sorry, but I have to disagree.
Exactly, we do not know much about the REAL Edo Tensei summons. The ones we see now is created by Orochimaru and upgraded by Kabuto but we do not know how this jutsu worked when 2nd Hokage used it and if Tobi was an Edo Tensei summon he wouldn't be and work the same way as the Edo Tenseis we see now.If you want to say the current Madara'Tobi is an Edo Summon, that is interesting, but I would disagree, we have seen him be hurt and injured and he did not regenerate the way that the Edo Summons do...so this is ruled out because it does not conform with what we know about Edo Summons...
I like what you said here, my only question is if it's as simple as using Edo Tensei to solve Madara's problem than why hasn't Madara used it since he got the rinnegan?Chapter 527 answered the questions
you know what i liked about this chapter??
it solves the madara/tobi mystery for me!!
i never believed he was real madara until now......why, because the shell of his former self thing (i thought that there was no way for his mind and body to act without a soul)
but thats obviously not the case as chap. 527 proved that cuz samui,atsui and darui were still concious.....
so.....to me that means madara is tobi-tobi is madara
and madara's soul is somehow trapped in the pure world....(some awesome 1st hokage sealing tech. or sumthin prob. the cause of this.......he danm sure wasn't beatin with wood no jutsu and is seen with huge scroll in his famous panel vs madara)
this is why madara needed nagato to use gedo on him!!!!!
and yes this also explains the 6th coffin.......if his soul is trapped in the pure world them kabuto would have the capability of summoning him......even tho he still existed........according to the rules of edo-tensai as we currently know them
and since madara is only a shell of his former self and edo summons come back with powers fully in tact, the edo would technically be stronger.......but madara still has his own advantage as he knows his self better than anyone
that would explain their reluctancy to fight one another and madara's reaction
so to wrap it up.......
madara is madara....tobi is madara
and sixth coffin is madara
ok i'll try again...........I've thought about this, and it's not possible for Madara/Tobi to be an Edo Summon, and for Kabuto to also have Madara as an Edo Summon at the same time.
Madara's soul can only exist in one place at one time.
