Why Madara might still eat the fruit

[Lightbringer]

I think that your theory would be the less plausible of the two because we never saw his brother's face

That is some solid reasoning


So you think Kaguya's face looks similar to the Reaper?

It also resembles Hagomoro's brother. But whatever happened to him?

Why is everyone so persistent that it's kaguya


Perhaps Kaguya became the Juubi and the Brother became the Reaper. Makes sense right?

Problem is the Death God is a Hannya Demoness, a woman, if Kishimoto reveals the Reaper as the Sage's brother then he will be contradicting pre-established Japanese cultural ethos, it's like portraying the Statue of Liberty as a man instead of a woman.

Also, Hagoromo and his brother are wearing high-collar Haori Jackets, Kaguya and the Reaper are both wearing female Kimonos, even the knife it holds is reminiscent of the Hannya witch Adachigahara's knife.

If you would've gotten a manga scan of the Reaper it would've been more similar I think but yes the reaper looks like Kaguya if she was completely stripped of all of her beauty

 

[Angelic.]

thats it. hannya demoness. thats what the anbu were called from hidden tree. i know its filler but i couldnt deny it.
theres no third eye on the rds thats why i was iffy about it being kaguya but i think its female

 

[Scryed]

I do agree that this is at least plausible but I think the fact that Kaguya was called the Rabbit Goddess and then the demon makes her the more plausible person to be the RDS

True although it could also be compared to Minato sealing Kurama within Naruto.

Minato/Sage's Brother sacrificing his life/becoming the reaper itself to seal Kurama/Juubi within Naruto/Hagoromo.

That could also be why the Juubi (mindless Obito) saw Hagoromo in Naruto. If the exact same thing happened to it.

Derp knows way more about japanese culture than I do, but he just totally solo'd your theory lol

How would you know that? We only seen Kaguya being beautiful.

The Reaper doesn't even have boobs. You can't tell me that when you first saw the Reaper back in Part 1, you thought it was a woman.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

And even if we argue that Kaguya's consciousness is in the Shinju therefore she cannot be the Reaper, it is established in Taoism that like the cosmic duality of Yin and Yang, the Soul can be separated into Yin Soul and Yang Soul called Hun and Po, one part of the soul lingers in an ancestral relic (specifically Ancestral/Spirit Tablets) while the other departs to another plane.

Ahh I didn't think of that...

It would've made sense to me if it were.his brother if it wasn't for mythology..

The Reaper is also skin and bones like an ancient dried up corpse/mummy, and there are no adipose tissues to make the mammary glands protrude:

What part of mythology is RDS from?

Derp trumps with logic every time.


We have to remember that Kishimoto is a person just like us and he takes his influences from his own culture

 

[ROHAN]

I get it now. Kaguya needs a male to perform the same act as her because she is a woman. If both of the sexes perform the same diabolical deed something crazy must happen

Madara is a man.

Kaguya is a woman.

If both sexes unite then something diabolical will happen, perhaps the fruit will reawaken. But doesn't it mean that the fruit itself is a living entity ?

There is no evidence that Kishi applies that logic.

It has been shown that chakra can be separated into Yin and Yang, but not the soul.

Kishi only adapts mythology and his culture to use his own manga, he doesn't strictly obey their laws as you would say he does.

If he did, then all the women would be 10 paces behind the men.

I just think it is similar to adam and eve. Like Kaguya needs Madara to follow her actions to succumb to evil just like she did

 

[ROHAN]

Another thing, It is also said and believed that Women are the Progenitor of life which ties nicely with the Shinju.

I think the fruit is the very third eye. Remember Obito or Madara (I can't recall exactly) said when the flower fruit blooms, it reflects on the moon. Well we saw that Madara got the third eye by absorbing the tree and reflected the third eye on the moon. So I think Kaguya and Madara's third eyes are the very fruit of the tree. Therefore,he doesn't need to eat another fruit.

I don't have a better term for it but I think the glitch that will happen is the fact that Madara is a past Indra reincarnation and he brought himself back to life. Sasuke should not have the same Juubi eye like it shouldn't be possible for there to be 2 of those eyes

 

[Scryed]

Well the way Madara explained his third eye would imply Hagoromo could obtain it too if he got close to the moon which leads me to believe the fruit grants much more than just that eye.

Especially since Hagoromo admitted inferiority to her despite having been a Juubi Jin in the past.

That could also explain why Hagoromo was able to give it to Sasuke.
