Kabuto plothole?

[Perlmutter]

So after Orochimaru was rezzed via curse unsealing on Anko, he took his power back from Kabuto right?

Then how come he looks like he still has his power in the latest chapter?

Orochimaru didn't suck him dry, that's why.

 

[Calpal]

Because he stuffed orochimaru in a damn filter and actually put the remaining parts of his body in him.

 

[~Sky~]

Orochimaru only removed his cells from Kabuto, Kabuto still has the implants of everyone's abilities within him along with DSM.

 

[Derek1st]

I asked the same thing but people hated my thread. I guess he still has jugos cells among others so he can still use sage mode

The eyes are due to Orochimaru's cells... the corruption of his body is due to Orochimaru's cells... Yes he still has DSM, but his eyes should not be like Orochimaru's, as we know from when he didn't have DSM and Oro's cells, only one eye was like that as he wasn't fully corrupted by Orochimaru's cells...

Jesus, why are people so misinformed? Orochimaru didn't remove anything but his own chakra, which didn't have anything to do with Kabuto's appearance. The reason why Kabuto looked like a snake was because of Sage Transformation, which Oro also disabled. Kabuto simply activated it again, he hasn't lost any powers.

Basically this.

 

[WolfHaley]

It's a product of his sage mode.

 

[Bimbonium]

Orochimaru only removed his chakra, Iirc

 

[-Punk-]

.Kabuto never lost his power & it was logical for him to still have DSM .......only the haters don't see it .

This too ^ smart ^ Rep ^

 

[DemonicAvenger]

Sennin Mode was a power that Kabuto himself learned. Of course he would be able to use it after Orochimaru took his augmentations.​

Nope, removed his chakra. There's no way his cells were removed. Kabuto is clearly in Sage Mode again, the transformation into Sage Mode just gave him back his snake-like skin. It'll most likely fade away when he's not in Sage Mode anymore.

 

[To Whatever]

I'm still wondering why he's still wearing glasses, he looks silly.

I know he has 20/20 vision. But at the same time that's his trademark, i'd be like Naruto without his whiskers.


Edit: Someone please tell me whether the whiskers on Naruto's face are marks or just really faint fur.

Unless dragon sage mode gives him the same pupils(and is the source of oros eyes)

So the eyes and even the scales, may not be due to oro at all(just dsm)

However the snake in his middle, is odd(I cant think of how he has it without oro cells.)

No, I think he still has Orochimaru's cells, hence why Suigetsu noted Kabuto's appearance, and chakra. The reason being Orochimaru couldn't possibly absorb it all was because it was in cahoots with five other peoples.

This is true.

A few weeks ago I would have told you Kabuto couldn't go DSM anymore, but as this chapter explained, Oro failed to take all of it, which is why he still has the pool great enough to use DSM.

​

^ this. Same goes for Orochimaru, but the latter's body couldn't handle the natural energy.
He also injected himself with the Sound 4 + Team Taka DNA, so he should still have some of their abilities as well.
What Orochimaru took from him was his chakra which Kabuto used to strenghten his control over his Edo Army.

 

[Fair Warning]

Orochimaru didn't suck him dry, that's why.

dirty thoughts.....ugh

 

[SurfTheWebNoJutsu]

This is why, Exactly.

No offense, but if you read the manga carefully, you wouldnt have had to ask about it in the first place. Just sayin.
