Ya this thread became about hiruzan being better then madara and harishima go back and read all these hiruzan fanboy post saying hiruzan > madara and harishima that is the only reason I am here cause hiruzan is not even close to madara or harishima. About edo we can't compare NARUTO edo to NARUTO shippuden edo cause we don't know if oro messed up or if that was just how strong the strongest people were then there is no proof and kabuto praising his master is not proof of oro perfecting edo
Okay finally some points with out insults.
I'm sorry Hiruzen Fanboys said He was better than Madara. Something you will see a lot of fanboys do here. It's best to get used to it and ignore it, or else everyone will deem you as a troll.
The thread was not about who was better it was to hash out the argument that Hashirama somehow wasn't complete or was weaker for some reason, which is not proven by the manga. In fact just the opposite was proven by the manga. It was also said A B C logic doesn't work a number of times meaning that just because Hiruzen beat Hashirama's edo and Hashirama beat Madara doesn't mean that Hiruzen would beat Madara.
Kabuto said Oro had mastered the technique. When he said that he didn't say "unlike Oro's Edo Tensei mine is this or that..." or anything of the like to give us any indication that the technique had changed or improved. The only reason someone would want to add that assumption into the mix would be because they didn't want to face the fact Hiruzen did beat Hashi's edo with all his power.
I would also like to add that before this thread I was under the assumption that the 1st and 2nd were somehow incomplete, although I never engaged in any Hashi vs. Hiruzen threads, because I didn't know for sure and I don't like making assumptions.
EDIT: I dont think he's a troll just a newbie. Gotta start somewhere.
