what?hashirama>=rennigan madara what most are forgetting is, unlike most edo's, madara was brought back greater than his prime. that means he was stronger than when he was at the valley of the end. plus he had the rennigan. sure it didn't seem like he could use limbo, but he she be able to use other rennigan techs. remember when nagato was edo tensie'd he could use all of the rennigan abilities, and they are not even his original eye's. therefore madara should at least be able to do what he did. even still madara is even able to use hashi's techs. But as we saw, that still didn't give him an advantage. hashi had chakra rods out his back, but madara was imobilized by the wood dragon. however, thats not as equal as it seems. while hashi did have the chakra rods in his back, he was not immobilized. since madara was wrapped by the wood dragon, he could not move or use any jutsu. therefore before madara got revived he was still able to move an cast jutsu, we know this because after madara got hit by the FRS hashi used the seals to immobilize madara further. so that means that madara, after he had first been brought back greater than his prime, than revived to an even greater power, was he only able to overpower hashi. so to me an alive hashi is greater than an alive madara, that hasn't absorbed hashi's senjutsu. but if he does have hashi's senjutsu, than yea, he's more powerful.
