Not that I'm arguing against this, but where was this stated (it does indeed seem to be true, I don't remember him doing any hand seals since his injury)? I don't seem to remember. If this is true, then wow, he has proven to be pretty damn resourceful. It was suggested early on that Oro knew quite alot of jutsu. I remember Sarutoi, before releasing the death god technique mentioning to Oro he was about to perform a jutsu "even you" never heard of, and even Itachi stated "all your jutsu are useless before these eyes."

I think it is a real shame we haven't really seen Oro's full potential in a serious fight, even against Sarutobi he was mostly poking fun at him, making him fight the former hokages until the end. If/when he dies in this manga I hope Kishimoto gives him an epic death such as the way Jiraiya went out. Oro is certainly not a hero, but considering how much of a great villain he is(and for how long he's been around), I think his character deserves a special exit, befitting of someone whos been so influential and iconic in the story.
