That's more or less what I was saying with my liquid ocelot analogy....

[Kafriel]

Orochimaru had an unattainable goal (makes sense since he's a villain) and tried to do anything in his hand to achieve it. He's the only hardcore villain of the series if you think about it, Zabuza was friends with Haku, Kabuto wanted to find his own self,Pain wants world peace in his own way, but orochimaru was just a selfish cruel psycho, it would blow if he actually had a good side about him...and everyone shows a good side when they taste utter defeat!
So,final point, he won't be coming back, but maybe Kabuto can use his powers to expand his own medical ninjutsu and BECOME THE NEXT HOKAGE!

[That Other Ninja]

He's coming back.

The author probably palyed to much MSG4 and watch Avatar!

[Josh Uzumaki]

the return of oro will be epic.
que the "naruto i am your father"
and that just makes it complete, he is my fav villian, just coz he is so twisted, and his determination to live and become stronger

[EoT]

Hopefully he does return because he was an awesome villian.

Plus he had an awesome voice and theme.^^
It would also be kind of cool to have the first villain being the last one, too.

His theme was great.
I don't really see him coming back, though. As much as I hate to admit it, he's become the walking punchline of the series.

^Next time Orochimaru comes back, Naruto can destroy him in one chapter . It can become a right of passage for all the characters...

[Kafriel]

Yeah, kinda like the Frieza-Gohan in the Janemba OVA, had me lolling for days xD
But if Orochimaru comes back, I'd really like Sakura to beat him, the others are already far stronger...

[SeanQ]

he'll be remembered by all Michael Jackson fans.

Orochimaru HAS to come back. He was in the Naruto series...the true definition of a villain.
He was soo evil and powerfull that most of the main characters were terrified in his pressence.

Kakashi has faced so many (stronger) opponents and still...the only one who made Kakashi piss his pants was Orochimaru. Kakashi needs to forget about the Rinnegan and take of Pains body. Or that of Madara.

His crimelist makes him in my book a super Z - criminal

# Killed his sensei (Sandaime Hokage)
# Killed the Kazekage
# Killed/sacrificed his own students
# Experimented on hundreds or thousands of people
# He never even cared about their lives
# Snakes!
# Revived the praised Shodai and Nidaime Hokage
# Responsible for the deaths 1000+ people
# Nearly responsible for a 3rd World Ninja War (attack on Konoha)
# Many of his victims were bloody teenagers!!
# Karin is one the results of his nasty crimes...her body is covered with bites and i think the (censored) manga covered most of the (uncensored) stuff

[Kafriel]

# Karin is one the results of his nasty crimes...her body is covered with bites and i think the (censored) manga covered most of the (uncensored) stuff

That's because it's how her ability works, people have to bite her in order to heal, it's not like she was surrounded by sadists
To add some points there:
# He created the curse seal virus
# He betrayed the biggest criminal organization in the world
# He is pale and seemingly immortal, giving him the look of a vampire (scary stuff!)
# He never regretted any of the things he did, even during his final moments
# He imprisoned god knows how many people
# He offered to kill a kid just because it was in his way.

# His little-girl-face is scary as hell
# He had been praised as a genius
# He controlled the most fearsome and powerful summon
# He was the mentor of the most likely next villain (after Akatsuki is finished)

I do not agree with the inbold text. Until the Snake clan puts forth some kind of Snake Senjutsu, Manda (well, he is dead, so who ever now controls the Snakes) and his gang of slippery foes are not the most powerful (nor necessarily the most fearsome). In fact, I expect Ol'Toad Sage could defeat Manda (if for no other reason than Ma and Pa can lift and throw Gama Bunta).

[Kafriel]

While it's true that snakes aren't the strongest summons, they appear to be the hardest ones to control (needs tons of snacks per summon and threatens to kill the user rather often).

[ZGoten]

Sorry, my fanboism took over again...however Manda was cool.^^

[goldenarms]

I woudlnt' be suprised if Manda wasn't the most powerful snake in the "snake world". I appears the author has simply chosen to leave that part of the story alone, if for no other reason than simple loss of interest. Perhaps he thought his delving into one animal summon world was enough. Elaborating on the snake world would have been interesting in my opinion however, they could have introduced a darker flavored faction of the "summoning realms". That "Manda" was an interesting character.

Yamata no Orochi is the most powerful (Non bijuu) Summoning so far.

I don't think we can really say that. We never actually saw the technique do anything remotely powerful, it appeared and then quickly disappeared (due to Itachi), so it is unclear how powerful the technique actually is/was.

Honestly, Susanoo with full armaments is the most powerful "summoning".
