A possible Edo Tensei flaw *my theory*

[Pain is reality]

So my theory is Edo Tensei requires more knowledge of the person your summoning to use him/her to its fullest potential. Going back to Orochimaru using Edo Tensei against the 3rd hokage did he know ALL of the 1st and 2nd hokages jutsus? Last time i check the 1st did not use flower tree world jutsu against the 3rd hokage? Also according to minato the 2nd hokage was highly skilled in Space Time Ninjutsu which he never used against the 3rd. While going back to the war Dan wasn"t using his Spirit Transformation Technique until he was being released when He was in full control. So why he didnt do it earlier? Because kabuto had no knowledge of that jutsu maybe?

This is just my theory and have a nice day.

Well, I suppose he needs to know their techniques to force them to use those..

Pretty much while the Edo Tensei person is "in control" they are forced to use all of their skills and jutsu automatically, whereas when Kabuto erases their minds and makes them into a puppet, the user has to know the techniques of the Edo. Orochimaru's was only a mind wipe talisman so he was in control of their techniques as long as he knew how to use them.

And this is why Hiruzen fans lose their argument on that fight.

No OP, you are right. I have the VIZ pages of Kabuto when he was controlling Nagato, and he had to actively decide what techniques to use. Look how he speaks here:

You must be registered for see images

"There's still a jutsu where he can create a planet.."

You must be registered for see images

"Now, what other tricks can he do again?"

There are also other pages of Kabut saying "I couldn't dodge it..", "I'm going to do this.." etc. Simply, if the Edo Tensei summoner is a noob at controlling the shinobi, they won't be used to their full capacity. The best way is to allow the summon to act freely, but this allows them to disobey orders if they choose to - thus, full control is sometimes needed.

^you fail

Thats only when Kabuto/Oro restrict them. When the edos roam free they can do whatever they want but when restricted everything is based on the users knowledge

And your existence is irrelevant.

If you read carefully you can tell thats what i mean about them being restricted by Kabuto/Oro especially in the last part.
