It really doesn't make sense.

How was IT not able to work on edo when even a regular Sharingan genjutsu and sound genjutsu did.

When Sasuke and Kabuto used it on Itachi.

IT is not just a genjutsu. Its a jutsu devised to paralyse its victims and then drain their chakra using the god tree and ultimately create white zetsu. It wont work on anyone without a living essence.

it seem you add you post.

Maybe IT mechanism is not like individual Tsukuyomi mechnism

 

[Umari Senju]

XD That's a really good question actually XD

 

[ANiMUS]

No clue :|

 

[ANiMUS]

Ah, I got it.=D The edos were made from Zetsu and Zetsu aren't affected by a jutsu designed to turn u into Zetsu

Edo's have chakra. That's why chakra rods were effective against hashirama and tobirama.

Also they have souls. which is a living thing.

It is a genjutsu. That's why Sasuke could undo it and be immune to it. Also, what clouds said.

Then why did Orochimaru fall under IT then ? He was using a White Zetsu body, remember ?

 

[Retsu]

It makes perfect sense, edos are zombies and the goal of IT was to turn living ppl into zetsu. Why waste time on a corpse.

 

[ANiMUS]

His true form is a snake :| and the genjutsu effects snakes it doesnt matter if u hide inside a Zetsu body

It's not a genjutsu by itself. First, it traps the user in a genjutsu, and then the God tree sucks out their life force and chakra. Edos have no life force nor chakra, so the god tree would clearly not latch onto them, which probably means they don't get trapped in the genjutsu either.

 

[V h o]

Kishi's unanswered questions. Also IT is just the genjutsu, God nativity something sucks the chakra and turns people into zetsu/cocoons them.

They do have chakra :| even bodiless souls have chakra otherwise the Edos couldn't do jutsu and the souls Hagoromo summoned couldn't help him with the summoning

If we look carefully, both Statements do not really work out. U_U

White Zetsu Body : Having a White Zetsu body makes you immune to MT. This will not work simply because Orochimaru had a WZ body and still fell under MT.

Being Dead : Also does not work, cause as OP said, Edos are vulnerable to Genjutsu and MT is a Genjutsu. Edos have Life Force as they have souls and their chakra can be absorbed by God Tree.

So, how were they immune ? One possible explanation is this theory :

Though, I the basis of the theory, RDS being Kaguya is outdated. It still works if the RDS is Hamura or any Ootstsuki (RDS has features of Ootstsuki) as all Ootstsuki could have been immune to MT simply because they helped Kaguya create MT (Sacrificing their bodies to become White Zetsu to first MT).
All random speculation though. Lol

 

[TRE MERCER]

Kishi needed the Hokage alive so Minato could say his goodbye to Naruto i presume. ​
