Have none of you considered the zombies actually fighting on the good side?
I pray, i only PRAY that Kishi can muster the brain capacity to make something interesting happen. Kabuto is a wildcard, he can switch at any time, maybe he hops on over to the good side. That way, the "emotional" reunions would actually be entertaining. I'd rather not read panel after panel of crappy dialogue about zombies trying to play psychological-warfare and failing because the good guys overcome their weakness -.- Someone mentioned Madara's original plan if Kabuto didn't show up with his clone-troopers... maybe he still has an ace up his sleeve; a big one. Maybe big enough to require Kabuto to join forces? eh? >.> |

The rookies in Jonin wartime vests. Now we're talking. I can't wait to see how some of these teams work out. Some impressive collaborative attacks should be coming up.
As for Kabuto's side, the Jinchuurikis are the ones I'm most interested in. I want to see that steam guy fight. Utataka had some really cool moves in the anime. I can't believe Naruto just started really training to master his new powers now after they got back. Wasn't that what he was supposed to be doing the whole time? I'm glad they're finally getting down to business though. It's funny, but both Naruto and Sasuke have been kept in the dark about the current state of the war. Sure, Sasuke knows about it, but he doesn't know about all the major things Kabuto has done, or that he's even joined Madara's side. I hope this happens. One way or another, he better come back. |

It's going to be interesting to see what types of control seals Kabuto decides to use on the previously "good" zombies. He can't really give most of the summons the freedom he gave Deidara and he can't babysit them all at the same time. If he decides to kill their will like Orochumaru originally did, that would kill a lot of the potential for emotional dialogue.
The problem that I have at this point is that this war really highlights the lack of development and proper power-ups for the original Rookies. In all honesty I can't see most of them believably defeating a high end Jounin like a full powered Zabuza in a 1 on 1 fight except for possibly Neji, Shikamaru(with some prep time) and maybe Sakura. (They should be 1 on 1 fights seeing that the good guys are outnumbered by thousands of Zetsu). The Zetsu army has to be fairly powerful seeing that they were Madara's original plan. Then again the zombies might not be full strength(Itachi and Nagato) and power levels conveniently tailored per match up. I guess at the end of it all, this war is fanservice at it's most epic, which is fine. It's kinda like the Naruto movies where each supporting character shows up and does their signature move. For example if you're a fan of Hinata, you're not going to care if it's believable when she takes down a Jounin level character. |

plus there's the kage we've never seen before, and motoi's dad as well as the previous raikage are barely a few chapters old. The people that were revived makes perfect sense like james said, because kabuto explictly says on page 12, panel 12 "Once we know our enemies, we'll be able to hit them exactly where it hurts the most" So a random ninja that we never knew, would only be effectively for... another random on the good side that we don't really know, + flashbacks explaining the emotional connection... -__- oh that'll make a lovely 3-4 chapters (per new character)

This was a great chapter. I loved seeing all those familiar faces! Especially Zabuza! I hope he's going to kick some serious ass if only for nostalgia's sake.
I do wonder how the hell Kabuto knows about Haku though. I'm also wondering how much free will Kabuto is going to give his zombies ... since no more than a few of them will be (completely) loyal to him. Some might just outright ignore him depending on how much choice he gives them. But limiting their free will too much might also damage their combat effectiveness. I think I'm going to like this war! |

Edo Tensei only uses original souls, the bodies used are random and since Orochi-summoned Hashirama had his wood and Deidara had his mouths and clay - then Bloodline Limits are kept and Itachi should have Sharingan and possibly MS although making sure that the bodies are as fit/strong/fast as the originals can't be easy .. + limiting their free will (otherwise the likes of Itachi, Nagato & others will turn on Kabuto) reduces their combat potential most likely

tl;dr there was never any mention of how much chakra that Jutsu takes or how much chakra Kabuto has now. So what you are saying has no base whatsoever to say the least. Quote:

Two reasons why you can't really compare it to One Piece: One is that Naruto is very obviously gearing up for the end, while One Piece is still going strong.
Two is that One Piece is full with Rival pirates, where most characters come from. Right now, its Madara and co Vs. Ninja alliance in Naruto. Much different. Any new villians now would be War Fodder, and we'd know it Yeah, you are right that villians don't need proper back story to be interesting, but if a bunch of people with no background suddenly started playing on the big field with no warning, you'd be pissed and call that bad writing. then they would need to be given back story. Its another way Naruto is different from One Piece, where there is a default motivation of Get more Power, Get to the Top or something along those lines. They don'y need a background becuase its implied. What possible reason could someone have for teaming up with Madara at this point in time, helping him to steal peoples will from them. Sasuke and Kabuto have their own goals, and will most likely betray Madara first chance they get. Zetsu is still relatively unknown. Kishi has sort of written himself into a hole here, but I get the feeling the Zombie horde is something he's been planning for awhile as well. If he'd written more characters in earlier, that would be one thing, but then they would have been members of Akatsuki most likely.

Funny that the people with the most hax abilities end up in the enemy side. The good guys only have the old man, Kazekage, Bee and Naruto.
If Madara we're smart, he'd attack their villages first. |

Also, as many have said, there aren't any specifications of the jutsu and it's requirements in terms of chakra and etc.. Plus it's kabuto, a medical genius with the mind and powers of orochimaru, another scientific genius inside of him, plus he's surrounded by 7 of the 9 largest sources of chakra in the entire naruverse... so it would make no sense for him to go "I don't have enough chakra" o.O especially since certain techniques including chiyo's own tensei for gaara have shown that it is possible to use certain technqiues using someone else's chakra other than your own, there are so many possibilities on how he did it. Personally I'm betting that he just created and took a chakra red bull after summoning everyone Quote:
Now what I'm wondering is if Kabuto has access and the ability to control Itachi, yes what exactly stopping him from freeing Orochimaru, unless it's just impossible to take him out of the sword. But considering all the constant references that Oro's been getting recently, I think it'd be a shame not to bring him back for a glorious return since everyone else is getting one (not a zombie version, the real McCoy) Kabuto's clever, but just not the same, especially with his whole "I'm a snake 24/7" outfit :S

I search the interwebs and i found nothing, but a friend told me that he looks like Kenpachi, so i told him: "dude, that's from another animu... " and i went to narutopedia, they labelled him as "Unknown Iwa Ninja" because of his flak jacket.
