[Theory] Tobirama's true reason behind creating edo tensei

[LeonArashi]

I think that tobirama made edo tensei because he may have sympathized with some of the uchiha and in order to free them from their curse of hatred returned their loved ones that due to their loss have been put onto that recurring curse, but then it backfired horribly somehow and thats why it shouldnt have been created. though it interferes with the natural flow of life, he mightve had good intentions but just crap was thrown onto the fan.

Could be. At first I thought it was for Izuna.

 

[phantomlord22]

yeah somehow I feel the same
but still Edo tensei needs living sacrifice so either way! you must kill someone to revive the person you want

 

[Cursed Prince]

Im not quite sure why he did it... Maybe to try to revive Hashirama?

 

[AllomnisymbolsparttwoT]

It was meant to clear uchihas from the battlefield : O

Hashirama knew of the Jutsu when he was alive, it couldn't be him.

 

[Ōkami]

Madara already confirmed. It was created to inflict large amount of damage on the enemy without loosing any allies.

 

[JaffaTalk]

Could be. At first I thought it was for Izuna.

What? U dare say Tobi mortally wounded Izuna by an accident ? XD

He obviously performed it on purpose, just as a trash bastard:devil:

 

[Danielgf04]

I think he created it with the purpose of bringing his dead brothers back to life

 

[Touken]

To be honest, I don't see a Hokage using living sacrifices to bring back the dead.

It is really a cruel jutsu and I'm not sure why Tobirama created it.

 

[S A G E]

He was trying to help Kishimoto find a way so that dead characters will have screen time for the sake of PNJ and TNJ!

To be honest, I don't see a Hokage using living sacrifices to bring back the dead.

It was said so he could fight a large amount of enemies without loss of life themselves. In a time of constant war and death it could be a little understandable.

 

[Gaara]

I thought it was to bring hashirama back to ask him who killed him lol.

 

[6PathsofKami]

Cant be something like that, it has to be for the purpose of fights since if it was for bringing loved ones back while requiring a human sacrafice is hypocritical.
