Theory: Madara and Shadow Madara! The Darkness!

[Xlad]

Hmm...

Well, I was thinking that it may be a Rinnegan technique because of the notion that a full potential is for those who awakened the Rinnegan. But this being an EMS technique is also possible and could explain Madara's presumed death.

Splendid theory, Vega. And nice avatar by the way. xd

Very interesting

Version 3 Juubi used Tenepanchi. Its not obtained through Kaguya.

Hagoromo had confirmed it that Madara survived through his natural vitality. Limbo is only obtained by Rinnegan, which is proven that Rinnegan users can only see it. He didn't use it because he didn't have it.

Hashirama didn't sense shadow Madara, because only those with Rikudou mode can.

Stop making things up.

Quite the condescending tone there.

This is the Juubi's version of 'Tenepanchi' as it has lightning, tornadoes, and natural disasters.

From what we've seen Kaguya showed us the Lightning.

There is a difference between each one; furthermore, they literally fused so I'm not pulling this out of nowhere. Never did I mention that he isn't using the said powers of the Juubi.

Hagoromo didn't go into the details on how he survived that event.

Pfft, that title I used "Limbo/Shadow Madara" isn't asserting that he used Limbo technique that he did just now [against Rikudo Naruto or Sasuke] but I just used that to describe that Madara in the Limbo World. Moreso it should be clear that the said technique would not be the same version of Limbo as it is; rather, a weaker version. You can see the Sasuke example further down this post.

I clearly stated that Hashirama MAY HAVE sensed it due to at the time he was the current transmigration of Ashura, and Madara was then of Indra which forms a connection. (Even used the Naruto example with Sasuke during the 5 Kage Summit Arc).

IDK if Madara had Shadow Madara with him at the VOTE battle, since it seems like a rinnegan exclusive technique. Why else would Sasuke be the only one who knows how to see it? If it was an EMS technique, he would have probably seen it before. But I guess it is still possible. Also IDK if Shadow Madara helped stab Sasuke, it seems as if Madara is just holding him up with his own strength.

Good theory overall.

Thanks, glad you liked it. It is possible that Madara did so alone but he'd then certainly be using a levitation technique.

This is a great theory, the biggest critique you're going to get is that Limbo is seemingly a rinnegan technqiue. I, personally, would put that idea aside. However, I can see some members giving you a real hard time on this, and there's not much factual evidence to suggest it's not a rinnegan tech. It just depends on how open-minded the readers are.

You may get something in a couple chapters that would help with your theory. Hope you do.

Thanks Yama
Yeah, that seems to be the main point people are having issues with but I will try and address that.

how could Madara use limbo vs Hashirama when he didnt have rinnengan back then?

Because it was not concretely the Limbo we know of as now, rather it was a much premature form/technique back then. I mentioned how the Limbo we saw used via the Rinnegan was the all around technique with controlled maneuverability on Madara's behalf.
For example, Sasuke's current Chidori has changed/amplified with his new Ocular Powers.

In fact this new Chidori reminded me of Kirin.

Disagree. Madara didnt use Limbo. Sasuke looks completely frozen in mid air not held up.

I did not literally to the words mean that he is being held up but offered one possible method. I rather intended to generalize it to the facilitation by the "Shadow" Madara in however shape/way/or form deemed fit.

Nice theory, I have been thinking something like this. It is most likely the reason Madara survived.
