Naruto Shippuuden 340

If this story has any sense, Oro would have known that and not used it precisely for that reason.

Except that we know for a fact that he didn't because Oro already reanimated someone that knew how to use the jutsu.

I guess Oro is lucky he never had to release the jutsu before the 2nd was sealed away, or else the same thing would probably have happened with him as is happening with Madara.

Of course he still has the technical weakness of becoming a slave if somebody sticks a kunai with a paper slip into his neck.

Does he though? So far, the only person we've ever seen do that was the person who reanimated them in the first place. Will that technique even work for someone besides the jutsu caster? And if not, then it wouldn't work on Madara.

Yeah, I wasn't altogether serious. It's such a bullshit no jutsu that it has practically no rules or limits, other than those the plot happens to randomly require at any time. I still would want to be entertained by an explanation of where the unlimited chakra to the zombies is coming from. But I doubt Kishimoto even realised how silly that is when he was writing it.

Kabuto was pretty proud of one big difference between his jutsu and Oro's: Oro killed the personality of his reanimations. Maybe now we know why.

Oh and... from now on I'm calling Madara Mumra. It seems more fitting. All we need are a couple rolls of toilet paper!

Which wouldn't have helped because, as Lord Mu showed, even the ones whose personalities get killed still regain control one the jutsu is released.

As long as he doesn't pull of something really evil for no good reason, I'll see him as an anti-hero.

Are you being serious with this?

Do you know how many people Sasuke has murdered now with very little provocation?

Sasuke has had zero redeeming qualities for a long time now. He's not an anti-hero. He's a villain protagonist.

Sure he has done in some. Because he's not a Naruto style ninja. He's the old-fashioned type and has poor tolerance for anybody standing in his way. Which is exactly why he might fight against Madara, for example.

Let's, for a thought experiment, reverse the setting a bit. If Konoha had been depicted as a village of villains from the beginning of the story and Sasuke had been somebody who escaped from it to train elsewhere to later come back to destroy the place, in the process removing some more or less associated people, wouldn't he then look very much like an anti-hero? Because that his point of view in this story. Like they say, one man's hero is another man's villain. Like I said earlier, Sasuke hasn't shown any questionable ambition beyond removing Konoha, which is an important factor when judging his character.

Not the same. Kabuto used a jutsu to remotely control Mu, he didn't slip a dagger in his back to kill his personality (Madara even called it something like "Remote Animation Transmission" or something equally silly).
