But really, are people actually this dense? Why on earth would Kishi reveal in an interview, how he's planning to kill one of the major villains in the manga? The way I see it, he was merely hyping up Madara's strength, the same way the Databook often makes hyperbolic strength. The fact that he planned the whole BZ/Kaguya thing, and even "knew" how to defeat Kaguya, who is above Madara by feats and hype, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Kishi really did know how to kill Madara. Jesus Christ.
