I could seriously not care less about these dead swordsmen. They're a different generation and a nice addition to the attacking power of the zombies, plus their reputation precedes them, but they sure as heck don't need a freaking lifestory or a goddamn arc. They're dead. The development I want to see lies in the people fighting them.

small thing i noticed, but is Zabuza carrying Nagato? yeesh, seems like being a zombie didn't do much for his body. really though it does make me question how useful he will be in that state... even when he was alived I could not help but question how he could be of any use without his extra bodies (and he didn't do much to disprove that)

really i can't help but feel the only reason kishi is having them show up now is because it's a loose thread from 10 years ago... it's like "oh ya, i never did do anything with those seven swordsmen".... |

All the strong ninja should be either in the army or as kage bodyguards, so if that one young guy is now around the mizukage and Zabuza and Kisame are dead then there are 4 other current swordsmen to show. But Zabuza should have been already replaced by someone, if being one of the 7 swordsmen is a title and not just having a special sword. I guess Suigetsu will somehow end up being one of the new 7 swordsmen, so that's why he is out of the prison and will be back in action. |

And I doubt Kishi will introduce new characters for the Alliance outside of named fodder. It's just too late to introduce the other swordsmen and expect anyone to care about them. There is no time to develop any one. The swordsmen zombies are fine since their only real purpose is to provide punching bags for the heroes. You don't have to develop them. Just give them cool moves like Paku and Gari. They are just plot devices. Chapter 515 showed us who are the lineup for the Alliance is. We are not going to see any new characters. We have too many already that need fights. But we will see more zombies since Edo Tensei is all about fanservice. So why not show the Kinkaku Force and 12 Guardian Ninja as zombies? Watch Kimimaro summon the Sound Four back to fight Konohamaru's team and Hanabi. |

I also want to see more of Sasuke's teammates. They were the best guage of sasuke's "gradual" change into a senseless jerk(he was always a jerk). Kishi's been introducing cool points in the story, but he's got no follow thru -what the hell was 'that' jutsu (for naruto) -What darkness did Karen see in naruto -How can sasuke have a (worthy)'team' if he will openly stab them in the back. OHH! Just got a new idea bout Itachi's crow. . . What if he set it up so that his OWN eyes can't be used against Naruto! That would totally nerf Sasuke. Ah wishfull thinking.

Since Mizukage has no specific role, they might be backing up Kakashi though. Remember Zabuza tried to kill a Mizukage. (even though we don't know if it was Mei or Yagura) That way, we would have : Mizukage vs Zabuza Choujiro vs swordsman who used to wield his sword. 4 zombies swordsmen vs 4 living swordsmen Mangetsu vs Suigetsu (I assume the bland looking swordsman is Mangetsu since he looks kinda like Suigetsu) then Chuukichi comes back with his new squad and the boss battles can start. (Kakashi vs Hanzou, Sakura vs Chiyo, Juugo vs Kimimaro etc...) Anyway, the current swordsmen have to be revealed. The only interesting point of the swordsmen is the sword and the zombies don't have them. (except Zabuza's since no one else wielded it at the time) |

I think it's pretty clear the Kages will be facing the Kage zombies. Mei also could face Yagura. Going by Kabuto's pebbles, he still has over 10 more zombies to reveal. Suigetsu and Juugo are still in the Land of Iron. The Land of Iron is likely near Suna since the Sand group was the first to arrive at the Kage Summit. The others took much longer to get there. So they are also nowhere near what is happening and will not be involved in this fight. Unless you can tell me they can teleport like Madara. It's Kakashi, Gai, Sakura, Lee, Sai, Omoi, Kankuro(?), fodder vs. Haku, Zabuza, Paku, Gari, 6 swordsman. That's more than enough. And more than likely, Kakashi's group will be forced to retreat to setup future fights. The bad guys have to win one fight after that embarrassing display with the Ambush squads. . No they don't. We have enough characters as it is. This war was created so the secondary characters like the Konoha 11, Sand Sibs, etc, would have something to do. Any time wasted on new characters takes away time that should be spent on what this war is for. Naruto's buddies coming into their own. Kishi already showed you who the Alliance was in chapter 515. |

Last time the kages were seen (when receiving info about the Zetsus), only Tsunade and Oonoki were with Raikage. Gaara is leading his division, but what about the Mizukage ? Quote:

Remember Chuukichi is fetching Chiyo, and Chiyo is guaranteed to fight Sakura. Which means Hanzou is for Kakashi. The swordsmen are merely the appetizers. The real fight starts later. Quote:
Anyways, it would be completely retarded from Kishi to deal with what an organization was without dealing with what it is now even though we know it still exists. It would have made much more sense to not introduce the very dispensable zombie swordsmen, but to introduce the real living thing. |

Wow. . .
you stated a lot of things as fact that were just your opinion. I'll just pick out 2. Quote:

Both of these events would be cool, but aren't really that plausible. From simply the standpoint of Kishi not being able to make very complex story, why/how would Sasuke's team participate in a battle that could possibly turn into some kind of crazy 3way verses just them without Sasuke? Also what is Chiyo going to use to fight Sakrua with?

We really don't know if Team Ebisu is even in the war yet though. I agree Moegi and Udon could use some development. As for Hanabi I doubt she will get any screen time. She gets even less than her sister (which is damn near impossible unless you don't exist). She really served as a measuring stick for Hinata and her purpose has been served so I won't hold my breathe to see her again. But it is possible to see the sound four fight team Ebisu. |
