What happened to the jutsu Sasuke recieved from Hashirama again? At first I thought this jutsu would have played role at stopping Madara, once that passed, I thought he would have used it against Naruto (If it were even possible), but nope, that plot point faded away into non- existence, I've heard alot of subjective theories on this.

What was the point of giving this panel time if it had no significance to plot later down the road? You can tell Kishi was really trying to kill off Madara, so he kept introducing plot points that would allude to Madara's defeat, but never came through on them.

The more vague plot details for us to debate about, the better I guess.

This bit of my "Theory". Kishi probably intended to beat madara with those two plot points but realized it would've dragged the story past it's deadline so he took the kaguya route...

Damn, I wanted to post the Hashirama-panel too. But yes, both points were totally useless. Even more than Sakura.

What's your favorite male character in Naruto?

Well that's my optimistic view. Its possible they could've been used to call the names of the bijuus out but why do that if he wants kaguya too idk. And I'm positive swirly z had another role to play as well.

Kishi was intending for intially Tenten to be useful to seal him with those tools but later scrapped this idea as it would be an embarressment to get defeated by fodder Tenten.

This would help you (Since Kishi himself said it)

It was probably difficult to get the pacing right for everything AND land the ending on the right date. Those plot points had to be abandoned in favor of releasing a chapter 700 that introduced the Next Gen, and getting it done before The Last was released.

That made Sasuke get the Rinnigan.

The real useless plot points were:

-Sakura's genjutsu skill
-Karin being an Uzumaki
-Minato's sage mode.
