[Discussion] 8gates Edo Tensei?

[Mephew D Kensei]

Now I have been thinking about this, a chapter before, I mean this much power and add Edo Tensei immortality and u got a tru solo king, think of doing 8 gates in series just wishful thinking maybe.
Why I think it wldn't work and why Dai wasnt reanimated when old legends were

The way one will die after using the gates hasn't been revealed yet(to my knowledge) but I have this like feeling that dying in 8gates has like a spiritual element to it like it is with using the Reaper death seal and also going by the fact that this is a tech that one uses for those he really loves I doubt they wld have regretts about using it so yah I get it how it wldnt work but hypothetically if it worked this wld b the best Edo and seeing as now there is Zestu to take out the dispicable human sacrifice forbidernness of Edo Tensei If Gai it cld buy more time.
What i guyz think about the (1.)possibilty of reanimating an 8gate user who died from using the tech and (2.) wld it not b the sickest Edo and an immortal 8gates user wld b epic i think, and you...........

you can't Go Further then what you could do in your prime so

I don't think it would work because maybe to use the gates you must be alive but who knows because edo tensei can still use chakra.. It's pretty interesting

Perhaps the gates drain both physical and spiritual energy, consuming not only the muscle and living tissue of the user, but also the spiritual energy and soul of the user, making them unable to be reanimated.

Yes you can, just look at Itachi

Well, the obvious reason is for plot reasons. Dai was introduced much later than when the Edo Tensei was still a big deal. Plus Dai's whole flashback was to make Gai's opening of the 8Gates super epic. If Dai was introduced at the beginning of the war with the other Edo zombies, 1. the full 8Gates would be less epic, 2. the only one able to defeat him would be Gai and he'd would be out of the war too soon, and 3. it wouldn't have been as epic when used against Madara IF it even gets used at all against him.

But since we're speculating, it could be that since Dai was a genin at the time of his death and even his own colleagues did not consider him a threat (his greatest feat was opening all 8 gates to save Gai and then he died immediately after with no witnesses of his power most likely. The enemies he was facing probably all died before they could blink/see him), Kabuto might not have considered him worthy of reanimating.
Second theory: Since 8Gates is a taijutsu skill, it might be limited to the physical state of the user's body in an Edo Tensei zombie body. I mean, this is all pure speculation but can they really open the Gate of Life when the body isn't even alive?

Besides the reasons such as Dai being introduced much later, chances are Kabuto would not have heard of him. He would have killed the swordsmen
and died promptly after without people knowing how he did it. Or, it's also possible that Dai is so weak that him having his power multiplied is still pretty lousy,
and in that scene, he could've just held the swordsmen off before dying, since based on what we've seen, Dai without gates is extreme fodder, so getting his power multiplied by 100 would not necessarily mean that OP of a ninja.
