First time SM for Minato??

[Senju Bean]

Did he just use it for the first time? He didn't use it during the ninetails attack and he's not the one to hold back in a dire situation.

Conclusion: He used it just after seeing Naruto use it one time.

He is truly a genius. Not only was he able to master KCM instantly, he was able to master SM as well.

 

[roncato]

Your theory is shitty. He obviously could use it earlier.

Before the manga is over, everyone will have a magical sage mode

 

[Zorø]

Its just an asspull to show that kishimoto doesnt care anymore...

Oh yes, I remember him using it against Obito..... Yes my memory is failing me.

 

[Flawž]

Nope, he trained with the frogs in his life time. Explains why he has Frog summons.

This. Only asspull there is is the fact its a perfect sm...but i guess minato was too pretty to be turned into a frog partly like jiraya xD

Kishi just made it up, he just wanted some random powerups for minato. Ma and Pa didn't even said that any of the hokages had already trained in the Myobokuzan, the only one that was mentioned was jirayia. Cmon, if Pa wanted naruto to be "stimulated" to train, he could also have said that the fourth hokage had also trained there.

Kishi haven't thought of minato with sannin modo until now, and that's crappy

 

[Neonian]

Stupid plot shield .. Well not really plot shield. He still got raped

 

[AlphaScythian]

The one and only time lol

 

[End of Days]

You cannot sense the natural energy without training, ordinary humans, even sensors cannot sense natural energy [

and if you cannot sense natural energy, you cannot enter sage mode

Its not a matter of being smart or being dumb, its a matter of training only

as for why he didnt use it back then, he didnt need it
he had a plan to beat obito and it worked

Shitty thread
Shitty logic

[Avinash012]

Minato's SM was hinted in pain arc it is not an ass pull.

 

[Lucidus]

no Minato had to of been able to use it earlier.. he had to have trained for it.. he had to learn how to feel the nature energy and draw it in and then learn how to control it..

no matter who it is.. no one can learn sage mode just by watching one time..

 

[KGB Kakuzu]

He likely trained for it... but for some reason never used it. Apparently forgot he had it considering his earlier conversation about how Naruto was using the same form as Sensei.

Also... dude was stuck with half of Kurama for 16 years... I'm going to go out on a limb and say he probably had some down time inside a death god's stomach.
