First of all you should know i hate the edo tensai.
I think it derailed the plot pretty hard, as madara said, one should not use forbidden jutsu so carelessly. I think kishi was talking to himself through madara. I think kishi did it as a last ditch writing attempt to tie all the loose ends of the plot together, and at the mean time give some characters some more resolve because he could not do it with the characters alive. example:
Naruto needed to see and confirm with Minato that he loves him, is the new savior, like his mom, blah blah blah
Sasuke needed to understand Itatchi try to FINALLY decide who he is going to be (avenger, or power seeking and devious like madara)
And the kage's needed to give the whole speal about the village.

Now wait! before you think this is a hate thread, there is one thing i do infact like about edo. That is Hiashi's story, it really improved the plot and really showed how all the kage were picking up where the previous left off. The only people who should have been edoized were Itatchi, Madara, Hiashi-4kage. the rest are irrelevant imo.

my pet peeve about it: edo/rinne tensai really takes away the seriousness of death away from the story, a death is supposed to be very meaningful. a good example: Dan, wtf? just came into the plot, taking panel time to compare naruto to nawaki, not fight at all, and magically fly on a dbz cloud to kiss tsunade on the forehead? no no no. bad writing Imho.



tldr: edo would have been awesome if it was used in moderation, i think kishi used it to tie up loose ends/give characters resolve before serious climax stuff is about to go down.

u think u are as smart.intelligent and creative as kishi? just naalyze the events. Dan gave chakra to Tsunade when her Byakogou got over. isnt his return meaningfull? the 4 hokages aer the most meaningfull of the edos.

Itachi,4th kazekage were all menaingfull nad the other edos were used for combat. so what makes edos meaningless?

Kishi has done his manga well except the part where pein was influenced by naruto.

Edos are nice. Kishi knows what is right for his story.

Edo's are cool.We can see again all the characters from whole series and learn much more about the past.

I never admitted to being as smart as kishi, i like the 4 kage edos too. but i feel like they are stealing too much panel time, they revealed the past, now its time for them to go. its making death seem less of a big deal.
Dan gave tsunade chakra..big whoop he died to fodders, he probably has iruka level chakra anyway, im saying that ALOT of people revived were kinda pointless. The main ones like itatchi, 4 hokages, madara, were important, fodderizing good characters like deidera/zabuza had no value at all.....how is that not bad writing?

my whole point is: edo was good, but he overdid it imho.

side note: nagato was never really bad anyway..he just wanted peace, he thought madara's plan was the only way. talk no jutsu yes, but it was not badly written imo. Naruto would've beaten him with kurama anyway lul.

Maybe you should write your own series and stop complaining?

I agree with some pints
Sad thing is Nagato was trolled pretty bad

there was no need of Edo itachi either
it could have been much more interesting to see Kabuto vs Orochimaru fight

and if they wanted to show Nagato at some point then it sholuld have been when Naruto got Bijuu mode
a full fight Naruto vs Nagato(at prime)
and only this time Naruto defeating Nagato fair & square

non of the Akatsuki members should have been revived. they all died a perfect death. so why bring them back just to troll them.

bringing Asuma back was also bad idea... it ruined the epic goodbye he had with his students.

But on the other hand Jiraiya should have been brought back. we never really get to see Jiraiyas true strength. also Unlike Itachi/sasuke, asuma/team10, we never really get to see Naruto & jiraiya meeting for the last time.

plus Ninjas that should have been brought back was Kagami, Shisui, Izuna, Kōsuke (That toad who failed at sending tsunades messages to lord fukasaku because danzo killed him... )

"I hate Edo Tensei because it derails the plot, except when it doesn't derail the plot".

The only bad thing about Edo Tensei is that there were simply so many, that most were just sealed without any real background to be there in the first place (Chiyo, Kimimaro, 7 Swordman, half of Akatsuki)

The concept of Death was already going to be thrown out the window with Orochimaru in Part I, Various people finding a way to "cheat Death" (Hidan & Kakuzu) and simply having reviving techniques (Chiyo & Nagato)
