You know what Minato and Sakura both have in common?

They both received powerups without any explanation(Sakura's excuse is somewhat tolerable)yet Kishi made them both look bad.Minato is now armless and Sakura has reduced to being on the sidelines once again...

Kind of sucks to to be honest since why give Minato SM?(when there was no indication of him having it and if anyone tries to insert their fanfic as manga facts I'll pull up the scan of Minato asking Naruto to add Senjutsu chakra to the Giant Rasengan.)Why bother even giving him that if Minato is just going to get disarmed a panel later?

why gather senjutsu when you can use senjutsu provided by naruto? senjutsu takes time and for how long for minato im not sure but him going sage mode at that point wasn't needed as naruto provided it

It would be kinda retarded for you not to have expected Sakura to get the seal tho'.. she trained under Tsunade and was foreshadowed to surpass her since early part 2 how would she do that if she couldnt even get the seal, maybe next time you listen to chatte and everyone else you might see things differently.

As for Minato, well he was shown in the page when Naruto showed up in konaha in SM so we should have known some relation was there. Why he didnt leave KM and go SM suring juubito times idk but kishi never reveals everything a character can do all at once. That would be boring.

That's a lie given Sakura abilities she could've been storing chakra in her forehead since chapter 3 and it wouldn't have been scads pull, her chakra control was always bad ass.

Well pa said Naruto surpassed his predecessors inn reference to Sage Mode meaning both Jiraiya and Minato were his senjutsu predecessors. As for asking Naruto to add senjutsu, maybe Minato simply did not want to use senjutsu at the time or because he doesn't know how to mix it with Kyubi chakra. He probably didn't even know such a thing was possible till Naruto started doing it.

Like I said before....atleast Sakura's excuse was tolerable since it was explained that she had to store chakra for 3 years.Minato has no such excuse for not using SM when the biggest enemy at the time was weak to senjutsu.

Like every powerup was hinted and properly explained in Narutoverse.

What about:
  • Izanami
  • Cursed Seal = Senjutsu
  • K11 powerups
  • Sasuke's Enton
  • Yata Mirror and Totsuka, i mean, why Itachi's Susanno is that different from the others?

At least Sakura's Byakugou was hinted the chapter before, and was explained by Shizune later.

The cursed seal was explained by Kabuto_Orochimaru used Juugo's cells and mixed them with his senjutsu chakra to create the CM.Enton was explained as being one of Sasuke's powers over Amaterasu and Itachi found Yata and Totsuka at somepoint in his life.

Enton wasn't well explained, he was able to use Amaterasu only with his eyes, other way of using it hadn't been done by anyone until he used it with his hands and swrod, all of a sudden, after gaining EMS.

Exactly, we don't know anything about Yata Mirror and Totsuka, like where did he found them? And how those relics became part of his Susanno? I mean, a relic is a material object. I have a lot of questions about that...

Cursed seal was explained quite well, but still was kind of asspulled that the seal was able to be transferred like Juugo did to Sasuke.

My point was, Minato Senjutsu is not the first power-up that Kishi doesn't explain successfully..

He used Enton with his Susanoo mutiple times before and after getting EMS,in fact Enton itself is Sasuke's second MS power since he can shape the flames and create them without having to use Amaterasu first.
