Orochimaru's Edo Tensei IS better than it was in Part 1.

I don't give two shits about whatever Kabuto said 2 years ago regarding Orochimaru perfecting Edo Tensei, because Kishi just made it damn clear that Tobirama and Hashirama were not at their full strength when revived in Part 1.

----

First, let's look at what Mangapanda (the more literal translation, when compared to MS) has Tobirama say about this

"This time we were brought back to this world with our full power"
The bold part of the quote makes it pretty damn clear that Tobirama is suggesting that him and Hashirama were not at their full power when fighting Hiruzen in Part 1 (something which makes sense, considering the amount of hype Hashirama's received).

----

And now, because some of you can't live without it, let's look at what *********** has Tobirama say
You must be registered for see images

"You've brought us back at virtually full strength"
Because it's ***********, almost the entire wording has been changed, but the same basic concept is suggest by Tobirama saying what he says. They weren't at full strength in Part 1. This basically suggests the same thing as the Mangapanda translation, though, and you have to be lacking in reading comprehension if you can't understand it.

----

Lastly, because some stubborn members were trying to use ***********'s seemingly faulty translation as a way to justify their pro-Hiruzen arguments, I had a well known translator (and Japanese speaker) from NF translate the lines, and this is what he said:
takL said:
Tobirama: "Orochimaru or something, You seem to misunderstood something. ..it turns against you that youve refined the jutsu of edotensei. this time, as we were brought back to this world with our original powers about in full, Im the last man to be bound to an edotensei by your kind. its me who designed this jutsu, to begin with…."
-meaning last time when the 1st and 2nd were edos, they werent as good as their original selves.
This says it all. You have two translations (one known for being more literal, and the other a well-known translator) saying that Tobirama and Hashirama were not at their full power in Part 1, and you have one translation (that's well known for changing the words around a lot) suggesting the same thing, but possibly confusing some people who want to interpret it in their own way.

----

And for those Hiruzen fans that are still grasping at straws
Just give up. Hiruzen has received absolutely no hype in about 7 (or is it more?) years, whereas Hashirama, up to the most recent chapter, is getting more and more. He was the one referred to as the God of Shinobi when revived, while Hiruzen received no such recognition. He was the one who broke Edo Tensei's restraints and casually spiked his chakra levels and made everyone shit their pants, while Hiruzen did nothing but struggle under Edo Tensei's restraints and almost have a heart attack due to Hashirama's overwhelming pressure. I think it's pretty clear that Hiruzen is a retcon, and I feel like you guys are just trying to argue for him either because you have a personal vendetta against Hashirama, or because you don't want to concede an argument you've been fighting for the past year against. Just give up.

I thought this was already known :|

Why do ppl try to dispute manga fact? This should have been cleared up the moment Tobirama said they had more power than the last time.

Nice post btw

Tell that to Owarij and Exaar.

LOL.

OT: People saying they've already known such well good, that's fabulous. However some people don't know such, and give him rep for making it much more clear, and taking time to do such.

Well this should make things clear as water concerning this matter.

Edo tensei brings you back with all your powers
I think he is referring to the fact orochimaru is not subduing there conscience this time around,because last time they had no free will they were mindless slaves. Why would they come back not at there full power but for some reason this time they are ?

the viz translation also came out and it says:

Tobirama: "The fact that you've upped the precision of the Edotensei since last time shall be your downfall."
SFX: TMP
"Now that we've been revived at close to our original power.."


orochimarus edo tensei is indeed better than in part 2 and i showed him the scans which state that hashirama & tobirama were indeed not at full power in part 1. i tried explaining this to Owarij and he kept bringing up kabutos statement about ororchimaru perfecting edo tensei.

Well ive been one of the people who just assumed that since the beginning of shippuden and the hype of Hashirama. I always thought to myself they were summoned in a weaker state then they were originally.

Dude your Sig is killin me, is that a real post? Wow i dont wanna live on this planet anymore xd

Of course it is, he had a couple of years to perfect it after part 1, and having Zetsu/Hashirama's DNA with him has made the controle over the Edo's much stronger

Nice thread, it needed to be done. Honestly i always supported Hiruzen before, but it's clear kishi changed his mind

I think Kabuto has a part of that. When Oro took back his cell from Kabuto he learned some knowledge about Edo. Plus Hashi cell.
