Though Edo Tensei is a rather broken jutsu. Then again, as mentioned the clothing doesn't make much sense. Then again, a lot of ghosts in fictions do keep their clothing.

Uh...talk no jutsu>>>Kabuto's Edo Tensei. Can't be that broken.

As for Madara, he's has worth wile flashbacks going for him.

Nonchalantly snapping dude's neck was the best villainy thing he's done in the entire manga.

Agreed, I hope orochimaru takes complete control of kabuto, and he changed into his full form again. Oro was just the best villain in the show.

Speaking of Haku, do anyone else see the reconfirmation of Haku's lightspeed comming?

Isn't Haku's "lightspeed" feet an hyperbole? I hope to crap it is.

What lightspeed feat? I believe Haku can teleport between the mirrors, but that's it.

"This jutsu uses the mirror's reflection to transport me."

"Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals (魔鏡氷晶, Makyou Hyoushou)"

"For Haku, it's possible to move between the mirrors at the speed of light. It's impossible to see attacks send out from this literal light speed movement."

Of course it's only the transportation in-between the mirrors. Haku's actual speed doesn't get close to that.

If its impossible to see the movement, how did Sasuke see it with only 1 tomoe?

"Most likely the longer this fight goes..."

"... The better you will be able to read my movements."

Then again it was an early chapter and the speed wasn't really established that well. So of course there might be holes, but the writing and intent is obvious.

I actually kind of have the feeling that Orochimaru has already taken him over, and is just pretending not to because he knows that Madara would never, ever trust him if he knew who he really was. Just a guess.

That's actually some good writing, right there.

That would be "best case scenario" IMO.

It would make more sense for why he's collecting all of his old "chakra" and "body" shit from his cursed seals: he's trying to make himself more powerful.

Once the attacks left the mirror they should be readable.

I kind of just hope Kabuto dies.

I never liked Orochimaru either, to be honest.

Kabutomaru tries to take Anko over, but instead is taken over in turn.

Ankabutomaru!

I'd like to see how Anko looked in her 2nd cursed seal form.

What about the intel on Akatsuki team Kakashi received from Kabuto, when only 50% of Orochimaru's remains had taken him over?

If anything it testifies to that Kabuto had no intent help Akatsuki if it isn't for personal gain.

Would explain why he never brought back Orochimaru when he has all the dna he needs of Oro.

Also, Anko in 2nd Cursed Seal form? Hm. Do want.

Alternatively, Kabuto could be lying, and Edo Tensei does have a downside, that Orochimaru knows and could **** his shit up.
