i came up with a theory of why the people who were edo tensei didnt seem to have any memories whatsoever of the afterlife.

My theory is actually simple the edo tensei is a summoning technique that summons the soul of the person from the pure world via chakra because chakra connects both world. But what is a soul? a soul is a spiritual entity therefore a soul is not made up of matter, the opposite occurs in the impure world or world of the livings, a body is made up of matter and therefore the brain which is used to create memories is also made up of matter.

So when the edo tensei technique is used, a human sacrifice must be offered so it can serve as a vessel for the soul of the dead person, then the body of the vessel changes and turns into the body of the dead person as it was before that person dies and then the soul is added but since the soul is a spiritual entity therefore not matter, the soul can not add to the brain the memories from the afterlife due to fact the soul is a spirit and the brain is matter, so the person brought back with edo tensei can only remember up till he/she died because the body is reconstructed as it was before it died.

So to sum all up, what happens in the pure world stays in the pure world kinda las vegas motto. because of the incapabilty of the body to read the souls memories.

what do you guy think?

But then again, soul is spiritual and body is matter, so soul should not be able to interact with body or make it living again if your theory is true. But that doesn't happen.
And chakra is also spiritual still it's able to interact with the body.

There is no afterlife. That's why.

There is an after life. Kakashi spoke to his father there.

@OP

This theory is good but it kinda crumbles since Kakashi remembered he spoke to his father when he was dead.

So souls don't have brains? No point in an afterlife then if you're just a wisp floating around. :/

Makes sense when you think about reincarnation though.

They are all trapped like in a seal, so there should be nothin to remember at all since no activity and they are actually rest in peace. Only those who is not bound to one place all the time, like orochimaru, kaguya, hagonomo... They all have soul memories and can think, but if there is nothin to remember then they will just remember what they had exp in life.

Edit. One more thing to explain, why soul doesnt search for new life, because sometime you can not let go and wait for someone or some reason.

They are fodders. True warriors are granted a body (material) in afterlife. See Goku, Vegeta etc. They remember. But only the most elite warriors are allowed bodies and get a chance to go to The Other World or King Kai's planet. Everyone in NV is fodder so they are not given a chance to have body (material) in afterlife.

Those were delusions of a dying person.

But Obito actually came back from the dead and gave his nonexisting eyes to Kakashi.
The whole thing is just ridiculous.

They weren't delusions. If It was a delusional and Kakashi was never really dead then his soul would have never had to come back into his body.

You mean just like Hagoromo did with Sasuke? RIdoku chakra apparently lets things like that happen so its nothing new.
