He couldn't break free because orochimaru has hashi cells that boost his control of edo tensei or due to the possible fact that edo tensei has been experimented with by kabuto and oro. Maybe the last time tobirama was edo tensei the control methods might be a little stronger now when kabuto used it compared to back then when oro used it. That's what I think.

His cells... If he can control them to such a point that he can self heal, don't you think he can manipulate the hold that are made of his own cells? Not to mention his chakra is immense. You're severely underestimating him.

The only people in the series that compare to his chakra: Nagato, Naruto, Madara and possibly Sasuke (That's an if).

Whether or not he actually controls every single cell has not been discussed in the manga, so it cannot be inferred that he has manual control of his cells when healing him wounds. It has never been shown that medical ninja control the healing at the cellular level either, but by reconnecting blood vassals and whatnot.

However, let's assume your theory is correct that Hashirama does in fact control every individual cell in his body. Even if this were true, what does that have to do with him breaking the edo tensei bond? His cells strengthen the bond Orochimaru has over him, and to infer that the opposite also holds seems unplausible.

Let me give you an example: Assume the bond is by a rope. Now let's assume Hashirama's cells applied to the rope increases the strength of the rope. Does it seem logical, then, to claim that Hashirama has better control over the rope? No, because the rope has been infused with his power. You can't counter with an argument of the form: well now he controls the rope. That's like saying Naruto or the Kyuubi automatically have control over the Gold & Silver brothers.
