You gotta add the slightly more complicated scenario.

I didn't read the manga when the Orochi and Sarutobi arc happened, but at least in the anime the 3rd coffin was coming up partially and he forced it back down or something and mentioned a comment like I definitely can't let "him" come back.
Or maybe I'm just recalling things wrong?
There was never a third coffin at all in the manga.
Seems to me, that the 3rd thought he stopped it, and at the same time Orich says it didn't work. I am sure that a few shuriken would not stop that Jitsu from working.
Saru moulded chakra and made a constipated face to stop the coffin from coming out of the ground, in the anime.
Why do people say there was no mention of a 3rd coffin at all? Sarutobi mention it 3 times, clearly he did something to stop it himself.
"I was able to stop the 3rd one"
It`s obvious you *can* summon the 4th.
it's obvious that Orochimaru thought it was possible, and that the 3rd was worried about it.
whether it was possible and the 3rd stopped it, or it was doomed to fail and the shuriken storm had nothing to do with it, it's up to anyone guess.
No, Sarutobi knew exactly what was going on, he clearly knew how the technique worked.
"I was able to stop the 3rd one"
Not to mention the technique wasn`t even perfect back then was it? that could be another cause, blaming it on the death god is a bit of a stretch imo. I don`t even beleive Edo Tensei brings the actual souls back, just the bodies with the memories, thus bringing the 4th back is absolutelly posible.
I think it techinically 'ties the soul of the one being resurrected to the soul of a sacrifice'. At least that's what I remember after recently rewatching the fight in the anime.
There's no chapter this week due to some festival in Japan. :(
Japan sure seems to have a lot of festivals and holidays that shut everything down...
I wish the US had more of that. It's like that in Korea as well.
What, you don't appreciate Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day held on the first Saturday after Labor Day? What about National Safe Boating Week? Come on man! Show some more patriotism.
