Reason why Kisame, Sakumo and others weren't revived.

[AP2k]

Could the reason why Kisame, Sakumo, Shisui, Yashamaru and others were not revived be because they commited suicide?
Reasons:

Shisui

Spoiler

Kabuto stated he didn't have have Shisui's DNA, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Although his body was never found, DNA couldn't have been hard to find. Orochimaru could have asked Danzo for DNA which he had access to. Shisui would have been revived blind (he didn't have his eyes) but Tobi has 100's of sharingan, and even without KA Shisui was still known as "Shisui of the body flicker".

Kisame

Spoiler

The reason people think Kisame wasn't revived was because his body was destroyed. But Zetsu had access to the DNA of every Akatsuki member, and ate all of there bodies after they died to destroy evidence and retrieve the ring. Kisame was one of the strongest Akatsuki and it makes no sense that Kabuto wouldn't revive him.

Sakumo

Spoiler

Sakumo was one of the strongest ninja of his time, and was often compared to the Sannin. He took his life because he had disgraced his village. He was about the same age as Orochimaru, so it's plausible that he had access to his DNA. As we know, Sakumo resided in some kind of Purgatory before his sole moved on (possibly similar to where Obito met madara. It may be impossible to revive people who reside here.

Yashamaru

Spoiler

Yashamaru was Gaara's uncle, and the right hand of the Kazekage. He has few actual feats, but could have been used for psychological warfare against Gaara and others. As we know, one of Kabutos main goals was to use characters loved ones against them, and Yashamaru would have been a perfect person to use against Gaara.

Theory: My theory is that people who commit suicide cannot be revived by Edo Tensei. The reason being there soul is stuck in the void where Sakumo was. Two other character's who "killed thenselves" are Deidara and Chiyo. The reason they were revived is because neither "commited suicide". Both died because they ran out of chakra, Chiyo giving hers to Gaara, and Deidara using all of his to make a bomb. Which is why they were both able to be revived.

Spoiler

Or Kishi just didn't feel their characters were necessary, but he also revived fodder like Dan and Chiyo.

Thoughts?

Nah, it was specifically said that deidara's tech was a suicide bomb one time only tech, suicide is suicide. I think Kisame wasn't revived because Kabuto probably figured by that time he already had enough edo's

 

[Negative Knight]

I really like your theory as it clearly explains why Sakumo was in the void world Kakashi went to when he was in between life and death.

It's possible I guess.

I just feel this is an uncanny correlation and should be dismissed. It's too vague.

Look at the study where a British doctor saw a correlation between autism increase and the use of the vaccination MMR.

There was an uncanny correlation, and although he seemed right; he was wrong.

IMO, you're reading too much into it. Nice eye though. U_U

 

[Forbidden Technique]

It's possible, but i think Deidara's case is considered suicide.... he technically blew himself up.

There's also a study that Pirates decrease Global Warming, because Somalia has the most pirates and least carbon emissions. You're right in that correlation does not imply causation, but it could be a possible explanation.

 

[EZQ]

i think kishimoto didn't revive them because it would be too much drama.

 

[Vex]

I like this theory it explains a lot. But what about others like Sasuke Sarutobi said to be one of the strongest shinobi in history.

 

[Guardian of the Rain]

Kisame wasn't revived because he has had enough panels/screen-time. He died just before the start of the war, so it wouldn't make sense to revive him. No one would've missed him that soon. Also, he showcased all of his abilities, so he has nothing else to offer the story. Another thing, if Kisame were revived, he would not be defeated easily, forcing Kishi to make 3-5 chapters featuring his battle or just completely troll him.

 

[Itachi15]

its probably the last thing u said " Kishi just didn't feel their characters were necessary"

 

[Datguyjr]

Nice theory but I agree with Logic

Eh, almost all of the Edo's got trolled, Kisame would have been the same. A fight between Kisame and someone like Mei or Chojuro could have been a decent chapter.

 

[Scooby Doo]

Even you yourself mentioned Deidara and Chiyo, and I would consider their case suicide as well. And I think that Kisame was not revived because the former 7 swordsmen were revived instead and Bee had the samehada. And as for the others, maybe kabuto simply couldnt get their dna. And Shisui should have been resurrected with KA because the edos have all their abilities.

 

[OnPoint]

With regards to Shisui, Kabuto seemed confident of reviving him but Obito simply

his DNA. After just telling Obito that those who are summoned retain all there original techniques (regardless of whether they were removed or taken at a later date), it'd make sense for the latter to refuse because he knew the risks of Kabuto having access to Kotoamatsukami.

Vs Mei or Chojuro ? Thank God he wasn't revived, it would slightly ruin the manga for me if my favourite character was trolled.

 

[Guardian of the Rain]

Kisame was a very relevant character. He was Itachi's partner, one of the last Akatsuki members, Guy's arch-enemy, and one of the two Akatsuki members to make an appearance in part 1, etc. So, Kishi wouldn't make only one chapter for him. He would absolutely have to make 3-5 chapters for it to make sense, which would inconvenience the story.

Maybe Kishi just didn't want to piss off every fan of every Akatsuki memeber by trolling ALL of them xd

 

[DeadManWonderLand]

As great as he is Kabuto does not have acess to every ninja in the world.He even mentioned some graves had contained insufficient amounts of dna or he was just unable to get to them like jiraiya.What remains of kisame is on the turtle island out of reach and kabuto has enough shinobi he will not risk his life for one shinobi no matter how strong.

kisame was eaten by sharks their was nothing left of him
