Think I found an interesting plot hole

[AburameShino]

It just occurred to me last night; when Madara was rinne tensei'd, the body that came back to life was the edo body he had been fighting with courtesy of Kabuto. Now, shouldn't that body be the body of the sacrifice used to reanimate him?

Madara's real body probably should have been in his cave or something.

 

[UchihaKira]

Thats just not how it works apparentally. Its never been specified how Rinne Tenseing an Edo works, so no plot hole.

 

[The Necromancer]

Is it the one where Madara has no e....? oh... nevermind.

 

[AburameShino]

Thats just not how it works apparentally. Its never been specified how Rinne Tenseing an Edo works, so no plot hole.

Kinda implies he has two bodies now... Anyway, not hating on Kishi even if it is a plot hole. Just thought it was interesting.

 

[Locke Shaydow]

I wouldn't be so sure that Kabuto didn't have his original body as the Edo Madara. As shown before with Fuu and Torune, he can revive anyone there just HAS to be a sacrifice with another person. I think it kind of hints towards that when Madara is talking to Kabuto and about his bodies secrets. Or how else could Kabuto of brought back Madara with Hashi's face on his chest and Mokuton.

 

[miromiro]

No plot. Kabuto explained that it's basically grave robbing to Edo Tensei one. He just took a living body sacrifice and Madara's corpse and revived him with Edo Tensei. Basically, he gave the living body of the sacrifice to Madara's soul and powers. The corpse only appears when the Edo body is defeated, but this ain't the case here.

 

[Lay]

This is true. I never imagine.

 

[Tera Path]

They never stated how Edo + Rinne Tensei works.


Only thing that they explain about Rinne Tensei is that the soul will go back to the owners original body.
So actually Madara should've been revived old, or the dead body that was used for summoning Madara should be alive.

Oh well, this manga is full of plotholes that will never be explained, ever.

He was rinne tenseid while he was dead a long time.. normally his body would be decomposed..

But now he was rinne tenseid while his soul was bound to his edo tensei body (body of the sacrifice) maybe that's why that body was used or something.

EDIT: maybe he was revived young with hashi's face etc. because that's how his soul remembered himself as last. but his eyes are still alive and therefor they couldn't be added.

 

[Floydical]

The body of the sacrifice is now in-cased in Madara's real body. Kinda creepy if you ask me.

 

[Orochimagus]

Yeah I am sure this almost counts as a new Jutsu since you combine them both and bend the rules. Just like Kabuto bent the rules on adding Hashirama cells or de-aging on his Edos?

 

[SixPathsOfTobi]

The body of the sacrifice is now in-cased in Madara's real body. Kinda creepy if you ask me.

A dead body is just a piece of meat.. the soul of that person is in the pure world.. madara's soul was as an edo tensei bound to that body with the appearance that kabuto created that was animated around it.

That shape is the last shape his soul remembered. and therefor he got rinne tenseid like that.. if kabuto didn't edo tensei him etc. he would be revived as an old man.
His eyes are still alive so they didn't revive.

Something like that is what i think.

 

[Orochimagus]

Yeah that's a pretty legit explanation, Tobi. You just can't have the Rinnegan cloned fully alive. You'd be able to farm them and make a Rinnegan army...

 

[SixPathsOfTobi]

Another explanation would be that everything less than your prime is considered damage, like aging..
And therefor he got revived in his prime, and like he had before he died he has his hashirama cells and empty eye sockets..

Why were the old people etc. in konoha not young then, because like nagato said, there's still time to revive those that he killed, their souls were put back in the body they died in and the body recovered just enough so that the blood can start pumping again.

Madara was just one person and if his body was decomposed he needed a completely new body.

 

[JIRAIYA perv]

good point but, it seems like the rules change when the character's soul is already there in an Edo body + Edo tensei is preformed with a sample/piece of the character so you can say that some of him was there (it can work/can be revived in that body).

we don't have enough cases of using the Rinne tensei to revive an Edo (only one) so i guess the rules change a bit.

a part of Madara was in that body (Edo tensei requirements, blood/tissues) and HIS SOUL WAS ALREADY PRESENT IN THAT EDO BODY so he probably can fully come back to that body/return to life.

 

[Naijakid]

Kishi manga is full of plot hole

 

[cptenn94]

Thats just not how it works apparentally. Its never been specified how Rinne Tenseing an Edo works, so no plot hole.

This

Also remember that edo tensei uses the dna of someone. So essentially he just "grew back" his body from the dna.

Rinnetensei wouldnt revive a skeleton as a skeleton, it would restore the persons body as well.

 

[Mistraal]

The entire last chapter was a plot hole train wreck from hell.

 

[uhIpooped]

Well correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe Rinne'Tensei basically binds a soul to a body, in an almost opposite fashion of EDO .. meaning the body is given life, vs being a dead body .. And perhaps Tobirama based his EDO tech off on rinne ... however with out the rinnegan the body could not be given life (since you need both yin and yang chakara's) .. I don't know, was just a thought...

 

[jorgelius]

i find plot holes all the time... real plot hole is that nagato corpse was in kamui world.. and white zetsu main one at least is dead... if madara strike now hand should just explode or obito's hand was quite weak when he was covered in zetsu guu
