How many times has Madara technically died now lol?

[Silvers Rayleigh]

why should he put the effort into dodging if he knows that he will just regenerate?

How many jutsu did he use??? where sasuno?? where perfect sasuno? where is his fire jutsu??? Simply put the guy is not trying.

Also, you do realize that madara is the only one in this damn fight who as not gone all out yet. He was trying more against the kages, my guest is that he won't do anything until sasuke arrives.

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.

Well, yeah, this is true. But anytime you see posters complain about something called "plot no jutsu" or "plotkai", it's basically us explaining annoyance at a character surviving a seemingly insurmountable situation just because of Kishimoto's divine intervention. Almost as if his story got away from him and he had to bring something out of left field to get things back on track.

I was replying with this mentality in mind. Some people would claim that he isn't as dangerous as he's made out to be because his immortality is what's preventing him from losing. As if he couldn't have simply gone all-out from the get go and whiped out the characters he was actually facing. In my opinion, the characters he's facing are the ones that have been allowed a free pass from Kishimoto, as a Madara who wants you dead is far more scary than a Madara that can't die.

Madara died when he severed his link to the Gedo Statue after teaching his techniques to Obito.

I count:

1. His own meteor technique (obviously intentional, as stated by Madara himself).
2. The Five Kages' combined attack (he didn't have time to absorb, was forced to use Complete Susano'o).
3. Possibly Guy's afternoon Tiger, had Madara been alive.
4. Rock Lee's kick.

Nearly all of these could have been avoided by any of Madara's jutsu, but the plot doesn't allow him to use any of them more than once. I can understand how there been be a limited number of viable asteroids near Earth, but there's no reason why someone should have no problem spamming Susano'o for 20 chapters and still have a problem revealing the complete Susano'o more than once.

Its quite obvious Madara is waiting for something else to happen or his true plans aren't what he's saying.
He's really in the best position overall. He's immortal and can't be defeated by the current line-up of opposition.
If he simply waits out the fight for a Pyrrhic victory type situation he'll get whatever results hes looking for.

[johnloyd]

it doesnt realy matter how many. theres always edo tensei and the possibility of undoing any seal if one would some how defeat him via a sealing jutsu after all even the clan specializing with seals had its kyuubis seal broken by a revived villain. whats new?

the more pressing questions are:

how many times did kishi revive dead characters instead of creating new ones?

and how many more times does he intends to use it in the future to the demise of our favorite saga?

lastly, are there any other anime/manga which could outmatch the severity in using the idea of reviving defeated-dead characters than what we are seeing in naruto?

peace. just asking...

This technique is called God's-hand technique and has been employed before the times of Joseph Andrews. And is subject to that much criticism as well for its lack of verisimilitude. Let's face it, all of them would be dead in a matter of seconds had Kishimoto been a bit of a serious, intelligent fellow.

the madara we know or we see against five kage is never got hit in first place by rock lee

resone he got hit because
1 he want to see what can Alliance do (alliance power) its first time he see alliance in his whole life
2 as someone say he has another plan so he just waiting
3 he didnt do because he know there is no point/harm even if he got hit
4 Kishimoto Masashi wants him get hit

4th is real resone because in the end madara is his creation so he can do anything with it even non ninja can kill 100% powerful madara if Kishimoto Masashi want its

[Kiba]

or maybe let rock lee kick him because he wanted to let rock lee atleast shine the last time

before he gets killed

[SnailBeast]

don`t forget he`s holding ten-tails and his power is not enough so he couldn`t move.
He needs to be revived for real by rinnengan user.
