Something about what Black Zetsu said didn't make sense to me no matter how I tried to rationalize it. He stated for a thousand years he approached and tempted the Ashura and Indra reincarnations for a thousand years, but he conveniently does not directly approach and tempt Madara and instead supposedly deceived him and acts as his will. Why is this? Then of course he appears in Madara's tomb and was somehow, inexplicably living in his body since he came out of his hand.

I suppose the most obvious inconsistency that many have already discussed would be how he was able to change the Uchiha tablet and control the mazou by taking out its white zetsus when he didn't possess Hagoromo's Rinnegan.

He's comes from Kaguya in some way just like hags and hamura its not too hard to believe he could do something like change a tablet

Kishi stopped caring about consistency the second Obito's mask came off.

You made no mention of why Kaguya was retconed though.

Depends on what he meant by tempt. The manga makes it clear that he pulled a flat-out Palpatine on Indra, yet he doesn't seem to approach Madara at all. I think that after Indra and maybe the next couple incarnations he went into hiding, subtly manipulating the Uchiha and Indra's reincarnations via tools like the Stone Tablet.

Wasn't it said that Oro managed to decipher portions of the tablet(I am not sure about this)? If that is true then I think it's possible for BZ to do the same.

Maybe he told Indra to Rewrite the Stone Tablet since the Manga portrayed it that Indra and Black Zetsu knew each other.

I think when we are at the door to entering Kaguya arc, Kishi pull a short term plan retconn or on the go retconn.

And this BZ drama and Kaguya personality problem is the result of it, what I find really surprise is BZ never explained in detail how hago and Hamura seal the Jubbi, What about the artificial moon, how is hagoromo become a Jin when He and Hamura sealed Juubi in the moon?

That is the most clear proof that Kishi is retconning many thing without a plan, the results is no explanation on number of events and also many contradiction is found by readers.

I'm not needed to talking about Madara's will is Kaguya's will, BZ attempt on Indra, etc. The fact above is enough.

What is that suppose to mean?​
It's just that if enough people agree that Kishi has lost consistency, then it has some truth to it. That, is a shame.

It's not really an opinion, it's all but fact at this point.

-Sasuke's EMS PS
-Sasuke's Rinne Teleportation mechanics
-Madara's Eyeless Susano'o
-Obito's Heaven Kamui
-Juubi Sealings and required 2 moons
-Kaguya backstory
-Hashirama's SM Binding jutsu
-Madara's feelings regarding Sasuke's similarity to Izuna
-Dimensional Castles for no reason

Kishi is not only lacking consistency in the last quarter of his manga, but he is also breaking the Chekhov's Gun literary rule willy-nilly.

Oh my goodness, I thought I was nearly alone with the whole not understanding the juubi/Kaguya sealing thing. Now I know Kishi just didn't explain it well enough.

And Kishi also did a bad retconn with Hamura present, it crash altogether Hagoromo hype as the one that sealed Juubi alone.

-Sakura being effective against Kaguya

I agree that most of these are reasons to call him out. About the Madara (and Sakura) one Kishi could have explained that in the exact same chapter.

Imagine theses
Madara
Madara uses eyeless Susanoo*
Naruto: How can he use Susanoo without eyes?!
Madara: An Uchiha only needs the MS/EMS to awaken Susanoo. Once that is done, all they need is sufficient chakra control and practices to manifest the susanoo, though, it's not as powerful.

Sakura
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi are huddling preparing their plan*
Naruto: Sakura, this is what I need you to do. *He explains*
Sakura: I'll need a lot of chakra to do that and I'm almost out.
Naruto rests his hand on her shoulder and starts the chakra transfer. "Can you handle more?"
Sakura: "Yeah, it's not to bad, keep it coming"
Naruto, Sasuke or Kakashi comments on how much chakra that is, and BOOM!! character development and logic!!
May not be perfect, but it's something.

true, that was a blow.

Yeah, Sakura couldn't do damage to Spiral Zetsu's summoning(something Karin could do). A few moments later she is now able to do more damage to Kaguya than Naruto's punch did.:|
