Do you think that Kishi had this whole Kaguya twist planned from the start?

[MinaButt]

ofc not. He's making this war arc up as he goes.

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

He likely had the idea of the S06P and the origins of the bijuu planned.But no I don't think he had Kaguya planned until the war arc.

Yes

No if he planned it out then Madara shouldn't have been the main villain for that long to be killed by Black Zetsu BLACK ZETSU! :devil:

 

[Uchihajin Sasuke]

No, a desperate asspull that he drew while he was high, when he ran out of ideas to extend this sorry manga.

 

[Uchihajin Sasuke]

Madara was foreshadowed, but Kaguya is a lame punching bag of a villian with pitiful backstory. It seemed very unnatural, forced, and anti-climatic of a twist to me.

 

[Hiraishin Stage 3]

Yes, The Tale of Bamboo cutter is one of the oldest folklore, of course he knew about it
