I always wondered why you people count Edo tensei when doing the overall rankings..

If your doing overall rankings, everyone in Naruto verse has to be alive.. and if they are all alive there can't be no edos of Kabuto and Oro and Tobirama. Which leaves Edo tensei useless.

Is it that you people don't think this far? or you just ignore it?

Nope....they are a dead body being controlled. If anything it adds to the user's power (Kabuto).

Edo Madara, while he may have control over himself, wouldn't be capable of all that he is were it not for someone bringing him back as well as modifying his Edo summon so that he wasn't a decrepit old man.

Too bad thats not following my logic ;]

So 3rd Raikage is Kabuto's power? oh my. lmao.

Talking about the rankings here.. IF you made a top 100 list Kabuto's Edo tensei is freaking useless.

Yes, since they're dead too.

And Edos are under Kabuto's control so they count, deal with it

And control mean its his power? no. And idc if its his power or not.. I'm telling you there is no point counting EDO TENSEI..

And all the people have to be "alive" at the same time to be in a ranking.. meaning they can't be considered dead.

How many threads are you going to do today?
Edo is one of those jutsu I tend to dislike because it lacks a certain finesse.

I agree that edo tensei doesn't count toward the user's power. But top 10 lists do not have to be with people who are alive now. I think you mean they have to be WHEN people were alive, meaning no edo madara at the top of the list, but ems madara still counts.

I believe it should be counted its a summon

Pain could summon Konan. Do people count her as pain's power? Noooope.

Then Hashirama,Minato,Itachi and Madara don't count :)

No i meant that if you have a top 10 ranking list.. and you put Madara as number 2.. and put Kabuto as number 1 because of Edo army.. then it makes no sense....

And exactly i agree. And especially the times where Gamabunta said he required 100 dead souls if Oro wanted his help. X_X. People can't tell the difference between power and arsenal.

Don't get it. O-o.

He is not in complete control of konan.....with edos kabuto is the edos are like ninja tools
Then the 3rd Raikage and muu and Kazekage and etc cannot be on the list.. since they are Kabuto's tools. Hashirama can't be on the list because he is Orochimaru's tool.

Edo tensei is the ONLY summoning where the user is in complete control... should toads and snakes not count then?

Summoning conscious people does not count as your own power.

Edo Tensei is a Jutsu Kabuto mastered, he collected the DNA they are his bodies Summons and Ninja Pets are Ninja Tools i dont see why they should not be included taking it away is BS its like taking away all of Sasori's puppets because they would be alive in the list lol

Well here's the suggestion.
A shinobi is counted or ranked by the jutsu he got.and edo tensei is a jutsu.it's not summonian jutsu having distinctive emotions and feelings,it dont care about emotions and feelings but act as same what the users wants... So it is counted while doing rankings.

Summoning an edo is the same as calling your team for backup which, judging by the hate towards sasuke for the Killer Bee fight, people do not respect on the battlefield. I don't see how edo tensei is any different.

Summoning an Edo is like a Summon or Pet its completely different from a Team, You do not Control the team and the team are not part of your arsenal unlike the Edos I honestly don't see how Sasori controlling Dead bodies counts towards his power but when Kabuto does the exact same thing doesnt

A pet? Really? For all intents and purposes it's summoning a living, breathing, conscious person, which in any situation other than edo tensei apparently, every member here would discount in 1v1 battles.
