How many times has Madara technically died now lol?

[narutotheory]

We all know the rules of Edo Tensei...right? Blah blah blah can't die....zombie zombie.

Well have you all been paying attention to all the times Edo Madara's been hit, and it's been a death blow? And all the hype about Madara throughout history has been all this crap about him being the best person on par with Hashirama and what not.

(Edo Tensei revives him I know that, but that's not the point)

He was killed by each of the 5 Kage.
He was killed by Rock Lee in the previous chapter.



This is basically a thread to see how many times we've seen the great Madara, and how many times he's fallen.

[syx]

Tsunade hit a Mokuton Bunshin, just saying.

Besides, Madara took some hits on purpose, for example during the meteor technique and when Oonoki "pulverized" him with Jinton.

[shafagh]

and plot armor doesn't allow him to finish all of his opponent in 2-3 chapter with ease ....

[Delbi]

IMO, he could probably solo most of the alliance ATM but agian, plot induced stupidity won't allow it. Just look at what he's already done, what Nagato could do. He's basically said he won't use the Final Sussano again because it doesn't seem right...yea no matter how he ends up being defeating it's an asspull people will be talking about for years.

[ninjabot]

Madara has yet to be hit by an attack that could defeat him that he didn't allow to happen. Plot is working more against him than it is for him, as the alliance should be dead ten times over by now.

Stop being right, I might disagree with you on principle alone

On topic, Madara's death was legit one time, that is the combination jutsus of the 5 Kages ( or rather, Oonoki+Tsunade combo, and even then it was because he was being arrogant, standing around with his arms crossed, underestimating the kages ), other times he either screwed around ( meteor ), was impeded by plot ( Lee's kick not being blocked by the fan when it repelled a mini-Bijuudama ) or simply he didn't die to begin with ( clone switch against Tsunade ).

So this was on purpose then too huh

Madara has an inferiority complex.

[Exodi]

Well, being super annoyingly technical, he's only died once, and then almost died a second time.

The first time: When the living Madara actually died
The second time: When Itachi released the Edo Tensei

As long as his soul is bound to the real world with ET, he's "alive". So really, he hasn't actually died, even with all the times he's been critically hit.




So.....this brings up an interesting question....since Madara "healed" after being kicked by Lee, I guess he is the person controlling his own ET now? Does that mean in order to get rid of him someone is going to have to do to him what Itachi did to Kabuto? Maybe whatever Sasuke's doing has to do with it, since I see no other way for Madara to finally die. Unless Naruto somehow manages to talk him into it and Madara finds his closure

It's really weird and why I think Kishimoto might've benefited from finding a different way to keep Madara in the game.

[syx]

Ohww, did I ever say that he took all hits on purpose (even though it's nearly the case)?

Besides, Madara took some hits on purpose[...]

That's quite a difference, don't you think?

I don't even see Lee's feat as an actual feat, considering Madara was fixed in his position and curiously didn't use his fan. Lee was too fast for Madara to react? That means that Jin-Lee is much more faster than Ee. Madara, while being directly attacked by Mei, was able to react to Ee, who attacked Madara from the side. Jin-Lee moved in a straight line, which is/should be easier to read and react against it. It's really unbelievable in my opinion.

Stop being right, I might disagree with you on principle alone

That's impossible, bro.
Not saying that I'm always right, I just don't see you saying "Minato > XYZ", "EMS is not an external power up", "Naruto is all about Kyuubi" or "Gaikage < XYZ".

[IChallengeYou!]

Fucking Madara should be sealed already, the more we see of him, the more destructive it is to his feats and character.

Tobi was a badass once.

The he took a NarutoVillain_2_whimp.cmd to the knee.

And now we have a disaster that is Noobito.

Same stuff is happening with Madara, really. In one moment, we have someone who can destroy...literally anything in seconds...and the next thing you know he's getting hit by...literally anything.

Remember when Madara was awaken from the coffin? And then how he went to battle with an entire army supported by kages/naruto? No bullshit, no blablabla "but they remind me of me in my youth! ", just straight out definition of warlord at its best.

...Then Hashirama fetish appears...

...Then arms crossed syndrome appears...

...Oh sweet! Kicking some Kage ass, finally.

...Ugh...Hashirama fetish again...

...Ugh, now he's standing still again, getting pwned by Rock Lee...

Sigh...Noobito Sr. in the making, guys. Why nobody tried to seal him when Lee got a clear hit? That's what they have been doing for this entire time, this entire arc, yet when they face someone so haxxed as Madara, it's like "nahh, we be 2 pro for dis shyt dawg!", and don't even bother.

[Xiraiya]

Well why put effort into surviving/dodging if you'll just regenerate, I don't think we can really assume he was beaten fairly by anyone because of the fact edo-tensei will naturally cause someone to fight differently purely because the threat of death is not there.

It's true that Lee with Kyuubi cloak etc. definitely just "killed" him but it's one of those things, if Madara had been mortal I'd bet that kick wouldn't have done nearly as much, I'm not saying it wouldn't damage him, I'm saying I don't believe he'd let it even come close to killing him.

So being immortal and receiving "fatal" blows that you'll just regenerate from I don't believe you can say he was outclassed/beaten/killed/defeated.

If we were seeing him constantly being outclassed and kept being killed and killed over and over then yeah I'd agree, but no he clearly doesn't give a shit.

[KiSwordsman]

and plot armor doesn't allow him to finish all of his opponent in 2-3 chapter with ease ....

pfffft chapters? Try pages or panels. Lol

[Jessie]

Well since these characters aren't real, and only exist in the mind of a 38 year old guy who then draws them with the help of some assistants, plot sort of dictates everything they do. Plot doesn't work for or against Madara.

And everything that happens to Madara, and the Alliance, is exactly as the author intended.

[Ryr]

Actually, when he first came out of the coffin, Madara has already stated that Edo Tensei was meant to be used in a suicidal manner, i.e. attacking everyone with total disregard for defense due to the fact that you are essentially immortal.

The only time when Madara put up a proper defense is when the Kages tried to seal him, which is when he whipped out perfect Susanoo.

The rest of the alliance's attacks, regardless of how flashy they are, are not worthy of warranting an action from Madara, because, they simply will not work on him.

[IChallengeYou!]

Yeah, and yet we still haven't seen him doing anything suicidal (other than meteor and it does explain why he did it...large AoE damage+far range), because he knows if he gets hit he is susceptible to sealing. So naturally, defense would come first right? Yeah, and it did actually, hence the use of Rinnegan, Susano, and Warfan, but for some ridiculous reason that gets thrown outta the window in this fight particularly, just to give Alliance a chance.

Madara's stupidity is balanced by Alliance's stupidity tho as I have explained earlier.
