As we know, Orochimaru attempted to summon 3 Edo Tensei's but only succeed in 2/3. People assume that summon that Hiruzen stopped was the 4th Hokage. This doestn't make sense though, Orochimaru had to go through the ritual to tie Minato's soul to this world, but he couldn't for obvious reasons. Therefore, who the hell was that in the casket Hiruzen stopped from summoning?

Orochimaru probably tried to summon Minato, but it failed because he didn't have enough material.

It was the Fourth; the kanji on the coffin represented the number 4. Minato's body was in the coffin, but the summon failed because his soul didn't reside in the 'Pure World' (i.e. It was within the Death god) - and thus couldn't be tied to his body via the ritual process.

A failed attempt at summoning Minato, Hiruzen didn't stop it, it wouldn't have worked regardless.

Some people don't, they don't have to either U_U

Ok they don't have to. But this thread was literally here earlier today. They couldn't use the search function? (As much as I hate saying that people should use it regardless)

If it WAS a failed attempt at summoning him then we wouldn't have seen the casket period...the ritual prior to the fight would have just not worked, therefore he wouldn't have a corpse in the casket. He DID have something in the casket though...my point is what was in there?

Well in the Manga the 3rd coffin isn't show at all, It didn't Even rise.

3rd Says He has to Stop the third one

In This one He says he Stopped it, He might of thought he Stopped it but what really stopped it was the 3rd coffins soul was sealed, But we will never know.

Since He did summon the First and Second Hokage, People are using common sense to assume it was the 4th Hokage, Since Were three dead hokage and three coffins.
But we will never know, Since the third coffin was only shown in the anime (i think) and Not in the Manga
