Hey guys, I apologize in advanced if this thread has been made, but while I was rereading a couple of the past chapters I noticed when Orochimaru absorbed his chakra from Kabuto, his appearance went back to normal.

But when Kabuto made his comeback after escaping Izanami to heal Sasuke, he's shown with Orochimaru's chakra.

So do you guys think this is just a manga mistake, or what? Because it would make sense for Kabuto to come back to the battlefield as his old self, as he used to be a medic. Thoughts?

He still has Sage Mode right? That's probably just Snake SM

But when Orochimaru absorbed his chakra Kabuto was in sage mode. So it looked like Oro stole his Sage Mode.

nope.. i remember in early shippuden kabuto said his appearance looked like that because orochimaru was trying to take over his body not because of the sage mode

Oro just deactivated the sage mode from Kabuto and Oro took Oro's own chakra back.
These two things are seperate actions.
Sage mode being deactivated is the biggest reason why his looks changed to the normal Kabuto look.
Oro didnt take sage mode away, Oro only took Oro's own chakra and deactavted the sage mode.
Kabuto could reactivate sagemode once he got out Izanami.

I believe Kabuto can go sage mode without Oro's chakra.
He has Juugo's and Karins(Uzumak) blood after all.
Oro's body was never fit for sage mode anyway.

In sage mode Kabuto might look like Oro a bit, due to it being a snake sage mode and Oro being all snake like, so obivous these 2 snake themes will look alike. In the past Kabuto looked like a snake outside of sage mode, due to Oro's cells.
Nowadays outside of sage mode, Kabuto probably doesnt look that much like Oro anymore (if he doesnt have his cells/chakra anymore). Besides, there might be some leftover remains from Oro's chakra in Kabuto, as Oro mentioned and wondered himself.

This, he isn't a perfect sage so his appearance is dis-formed a bit, also he took back his chakra, not necessarily his dna etc.

Orochimaru just took the nartural Energy of him to enter SM himself. Kabuto gathered natural energy again afterwards probably. after all you can't someones ability to gather natural energy. so you can't "take away" the sage mode of somebody

Oro got back some of his chakra and released his sage mode but oro did say that kabuto might still have some of his chakra

It was juugos DNA that made kabuto absorb nature energy

if this is the case he was already in sage mode....the why would he transform to fight itachi and sasuke if he was already in SM

if what your saying is true he is in same mode at all times

he wasn't. those purple lines came as he started to fight Itachi and Sasuke. so he entered it.

what purple lines???


but


This is kabuto normally...and its not due to sage mode or juugo, its due to orochimaru and his cells, not natural energy..it says below he was 30 percent taken over by orochimaru's cells.. and thats clearly the cause of his appearance to change not sage mode or natural energy

This shit again ...

Kabuto trained his ass to get his Sage Mode , thus he can turn into Dragon sage anytime . Orochimaru just absorbed the chakra Kabuto stole from him .

Kabuto's snake appearance formerly from Oro's cells and Kabuto's snake appearance in war are unrelated. What we see in the war is Kabuto's Sage Mode.

His appearance before sage mode, was that of a snake due to Oro's chakra.
HOWEVER, one doesnt exclude the other.

When Kabuto went snake sage mode, the sage mode AND Oro's chakra, could be the reason for the snake look.

Nowadays, with Oro having his chakra taken back, Kabuto going snake sage mode, could make him look like a snake too.
The reason this time would be the sage mode itself. It is not weird that this could be the case.
Jiraiya looked like a frog after all.
This time the reason is the sage mode and not Oro's chakra.
