I'm thinking he read the writing written on the tablet. But they say that only Uchiha's can read that. Maybe Sasuke was helping him by dictating
Or the RDS mask can also allow the writing to be understood and gave Oro some powers. 
Oh really? Why didn't Orochimaru use that mask and get his arms back 3 frikking years ago if the mask was the only thing needed?! Hmm? Because he had to LOOK AT THE TABLET THROUGH THE EYES OF THE MASK! THAT IS WHAT ACTIVATES THE POSSESSION OF HIS BODY BY THE REAPER!!How am I being ignorant stating out the obvious?
First of all, If the tablet had at least some relevance to the ritual in any way, Orochimaru would have told them (Sasuke, Jugo, Suigetsu) about it... He has no reason to hide it. And plus, It didn't say "The Tablet hidden in the Uchiha hidout is involved during the ritual." on the scroll, did it? No...
You don't have to belive me, it's just opinion.![]()

Although it a logical point, it is still an assumption, it has yet to be shown/proven by Kishi.Oh really?

That's because he couldn't read it and he didn't have to read it, he had to look at the tablet through the Reaper's mask! That was the requirement for summoning the Reaper through himself!I don't think it's importance has been shown yet. Although you provided some vague evidence, it doesn't explain how or why exactly they needed to be directly in front of the tablet for the ritual to work. Oro can't read the tablet, but he obviously knows a lot about it, so I don't think he is completely done with this ritual of his. I believe there would be more focus on the tablet once it's real importance comes into play, not just one vague frame showing the tablet.
It is a ritual that reverses the RDS, and it requires a sacrifice, that is all.Although it a logical point, it is still an assumption, it has yet to be shown/proven by Kishi.
Side question that has been bothering me ever since my first read:
And if he is being possessed, how can Orochimaru move enough and magically cut open his and the Reaper's stomach? Maybe yet another thing to do with the tablet? And/or the mask?
Waoh, that's what I assumed which means I could be rightThat's because he couldn't read it and he didn't have to read it, he had to look at the tablet through the Reaper's mask! That was the requirement for summoning the Reaper through himself!
HOW IS AN OPINION WRONG?!? Do you even know what the definition of opinion is? xdYour opinion is wrong.
I never called you any name or hated on you?HOW IS AN OPINION WRONG?!? Do you even know what the definition of opinion is? xd
Sharing my own views to this website seems to make people angry, I don't know how sharing ones views to the community which isn't right or wrong seem to tick people off. If you don't like what I'm saying, then ignore me..
You don't see me bashing, name calling, and hating on others opinions, Now do I? No...
Geez...
lmao I liked the moon example, good one!I never called you any name or hated on you?
Opinions can be wrong.
My opinion is that the moon is a giant golf ball. <--------------- That is wrong.
Here is the definition of "opinion":

This makes sense. While we are fairly certain the tablet was used based off evidence, Kishi could be thinking of something completely different. I'm still going to say there is a 90% your opinion is wrong, but you are right that nothing is 100% and you could be right.Indeed opinions can be wrong. :y And no I'm not including you into this "Hating" thing... Just keep on looking up and you will see what I mean.
And yes, Opinions can be wrong. ( Like you stated with the Moon golf ball thing) Actually........ Now that you mention it, It does seem like Orochimaru is using the tablet to aid him with re-gaining his arms. But yet, we are not 100% sure though. That is why I am applying my own views since there is no guranteed answer.
I guess I'm just thinking about it too much then, because I don't get how you can control a shinigami itself. And by simply cutting your stomach the shinigami does the same and magically, after being in the stomach for a number of years, the souls just come out. Oro is just too crazy.It is a ritual that reverses the RDS, and it requires a sacrifice, that is all.
Oro never cut the Shinigami's stomach. The Shinigami cut its own stomach and Oro's stomach split open automatically. That was the sacrifice.I guess I'm just thinking about it too much then, because I don't get how you can control a shinigami itself.
