Well, if that wasn't an enlightening chapter. It's been confirmed that Gedo Mazo is the Juubi's body, and that it can be controlled with Senju genes; we learned that those black rods are basically Madara's manifested will - so, after all, he's capable of using Bambutsu Sozo, the creaton of all things.. if I'm not mistaken he wanted to teach Obito the same, but called it In'youton.. let's see what *********** says in a few hours. It was also confirmed that the Rinnegan is invoked when the Eien no Mangekyou Sharingan is combined with Senju genes, or rather Hashirama's genes.
And in the end we learned that black Zetsu basically carries Madara's will and knowledge. Does that mean Madara himself called Itachi invincible?
Now I only have a few questions left.
- How was Madara able to use his Tsukuyomi without Mangekyou Sharingan? I thought that eye was a mere spare.
- How did the eyeballs of a grown-up man fit into the skull of a child?
- How could Nagato or his parents
not notice that he was given a set of new eyes? Rinnegan?
Apart from that, a great chapter. Slowly, it all comes together.
