Minato's Sage mode was obvious.

You're speculating that he didn't want to go all out. What if he couldn't? What if it had a serious drawback? what if he didn't think of it while his new born son and his wife are being attacked by "madara uchiha"?
There are many factors to think about, I have no doubt that Minato did all he could in that short span of time he fought obito and sealed the kyuubi.

At that time he had his original body, but it was physically too weak to handle SM, that may be another reason for him switching bodies. The same can be said for Minato, it's kind of like the CM some can handle it, while others can't.
Not really in the fashion he got hit was not the way the move was intended to be used. It is like have having a tennis ball in your hand and someone hits it out and the ball hits someone else. The will be not much force behind it. That hitting kakashi is not in the way it did says nothing about minato's sm. kishi used it as a way to show how strong madra is. Infact it just showed that Minato might be better than naruto at sm seeing as he went in to it instatly

I am, without a doubt. That'll have so much extra information from like, what? Chapters 400 to the present?

True, but Summoning Gamabunta takes a lot of chakra because of his size
because FTG is reverse summoning
something like the Juubi's TBB should take a fukload of chakra
I haven't even bought the prior 3, but I feel Kishi could redeem some of the inconsistencies that have taken place in the manga in terms of abilities. Considering he wants to finish Naruto, that probably leaves him little time for explanations.

His wife and newborn son being attacked didn't stop him from thinking critically enough to conclude it's Madara. Why would it stop him from thinking "Hmm, this guy a serious threat with potentially higher power than me. Better go all out!"
What drawbacks? He went into SM almost instantly, and he the markings of a perfect sage, the chances of a drawback that would stop him from using it are miniscule to zero.
Sorry, Flawz, but you lose.

Those questions are not for the readers to think of and explore. Those questions are for the author to address for the reader, which is why this was an asspull until explained.
Kishi can't expect his readers to all take his story as seriously as we do on this forum.
I agree with this. But if Minato fans want to conclude that Minato's own stupidity hampered his ability to use all of his tools effectively, I'll concede to that...

Likewise I do not own the prior 3.
I'm buying it just because it's the last one so it'll have all the updated information and stats.
From after the Itachi vs Sasuke fight to be exact so yes that is alot of info and background story. It'll be very interesting, worth getting for a Naruto fan.

The fact that Naruto needs to sit still for a few moments to gather Nature Energy, but Minato did it in the matter of a second or two in what appears to be movement supports that he's higher in proficiency.
@bold - no.
See, you can't answer those questions? Thats because kishi hasn't addressed them yet, We don't know why he didn't use sage mode, but we do know that he went all out, unless you want to tell me he doesn't value kushina or his new born son?

That scan talks about transferring chakra to someone else, and changing it to match them simultaneously. Sage Mode is an entirely different concept.
