I really liked that twist.
and Return of the Sexy Secretary!

What the hell was this? These guys sucked in kyuubi chakra once upon the time, then they rotted in their graves until Kabuto retrieved some cell samples to clone them with the resurrection jutsu - and they still possess that borrowed kyuubi chakra? That jutsu makes less and less sense with each episode. I guess if they resurrected a long-dead millionaire whose wealth was spent by his children and childen's children a long time ago, the millionaire would still miraculously possess that already wasted wealth because this jutsu is so full of hax.
What bullshit.
Think about this: without KabutOro, Madara's war would have been crap. Think about it, they have the hardest time with Edo Tensei, not with the weak ass Zetsu clones. Releasing the Bijuu would be an option, since he can control them, but still, 7 at the same time might be overkill, even for him.
Maybe the manga adresses the Kyuubi chakra thing, but this it the (weak ass) excuse I came up with:
The Raikage mentioned Gin/Kin were in its stomach for 2 weeks, thus becomming infused with it's chakra. Maybe they were able to (to an extent) generate it themselves. Otherwise they might've spent it all while they were alive. They do somewhat make Edo Tensei plot-hole proof by letting KabotOro mention that nobody fully understands the extent of the jutsu.
The same weird stuff is going on with Naruto himself now. It is said that they only managed to seal half of Kyuubi's chakra into Naruto, because it was too much otherwise.. but wouldn't Kyuubi recover the chakra eventually?
How come the brothers could casually use the 4 items and had whiskers BEFORE being eaten by the Kyuubi in that one flashback?

Man, there was a ton of crazy shit going on in this episode.
First, the information that the Sage of the Six Paths(who people were calling a myth, but now people have no problem saying this are his treasures) had 5 mystical treasures, and that these guys have 4 of them.
Frankly, one of them is awesome. The fan that lets you create all 5 elements.
The other 3? Frankly, aren't that great. It's three treasures that all have to be used in combination in a very convoluted way in order to defeat your enemy with it. You would think one treasure that just kills your opponent would be alot more impressive.
That said, I'm sure it's no coincidence that they've introduced these three mystical treasures that can only be used if you have a lot of chakra and happen to be able to seal someone away in the middle of an arc full of enemies that you can only defeat by sealing them away. Counting down till Naruto or Bee gets their hands on these treasures...
You're making the assumption that they borrowed Kyuubi's chakra, as opposed to having been physically or mystically altered by the 2 weeks they spent in his stomach.Originally Posted by Kraco
Okay, that feels more like a plot hole. Although it's possible they already had massive chakra. Tailed Beasts aren't the only sources of massive chakra. Kisame and the entire Uzumaki clan seem to have it as well. So it's possible they just had lots.
It just occurred me that these brothers and their equipment are little better than the talking ostrich. Are they even canon or was this fight filler?
It`s canon.

The funny thing is that the rope immobilized the opponent right away. Instead of cutting of the spirit and wait for them to use their most spoken word they could have just cut of their heads. They where basically just sitting there sticking their necks out. Sure that wouldn't work on zombies since they regenerate, but Ginkaku and Kinkaku could have done that.
The rope doesn`t inmobilize anyone.

That's what I was saying. 3 items that have to be used in order in very specific ways that can be ignored completely if your opponent knows how they work seems like not very amazing magical treasures compared to, say, a magically sword that totally fucking kills someone if you stab them with it.
Obviously though, I am really curious what the SotSP's 5th treasure is. Since it's the only one their holding back I assume that it's awesome.
That gourd sealing system clearly isn't meant to be used against normal ninja in a normal fight. It's far too bizarre for that, just like you said ealier. It's like from some children's fairy tale instead, seemingly serving no other purpose but to advance the plot in a specific way. The only explanation is that it's meant for enemies that are impossible to kill by any reasonable, ordinary means for whatever reason. That the wacko brothers used it like that, against normal ninja, is but a testament to their general lunacy.
they probably get their jollies from sealing people instead of just killing them
The only use I could see the Sage of the Six Paths having for it would be sealing something like the 10-Tails.
Like he used his Planetary Devastation to bind the 10-Tails body up inside the moon, then used this complicated mess of magic items to pull it's chakra out and seal it away before using it to become the first Jinchuuriki.

If all the Edo Tensei zombies have unlimited chakra, why does it matter this one guy has Jinchuuriki mode 1 capability?
Because all the other zombies can`t go Junchuuriki mode.... except for the zombie Bijuu maybe?

Yeah but isn't the advantage of Jinchuuriki mode supposed to be increased speed, power, healing, attack, defense etc which all depend on enormous amount of chakra that a bijuu gives a 'normal' living person? If you are undead and have access to a bottomless well of chakra anyway that shouldn't matter should it?
Do you actually have unlimited chakra as a zombie? Or is it just that you regenerate all that chakra each time you get revived?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Regular zombies can`t use their theorically infinite chakra to increase their speed, power, attack OR defense bijuu style. They can just spam the techniques they had in their previous life.
In RPG language: Having infinite mana doesn`t means you can use every spell.

Fair point. But these are extraordinary fighters that have been brought back so should know at least a couple of deadly techniques each which even if spammed would cause major problems. If someone like Gai or Kakashi were summoned as Edo Tensei zombies then I would worry about them more than some guy with a power upgrade.
But then I guess there are not many Gai and Kakashi level fighters around.
