Madara is just cool man. He's just having so much fun fucking around with the Kages.
What do you mean "bought it"? It's not like it's a bluff. Itachi want's to end the Jutsu, and for that, he has to take Kabuto alive.Originally Posted by Kraco
Anyway, my only real guess here is that Kabuto thinks he can retake control of Itachi somehow.
Well, of course we don't yet know if he bought it or if he's just acting like he did to fool Kabuto. But basically when Kabuto gives a speech like that, it's 100% assured there's at least a 50% chance he's just utilising an extremely cheap way to ensure he won't be one-shot killed right off the bat. Despite all of Sasuke's bravado and tough guy acting, I reckon he's still so "innocent" that he now imagines they absolutely must capture Kabuto alive.
I might agree but this isn't the first time it's come up. It's been said repeatedly by several different characters that Edo Tensei doesn't end when it's user dies.
Remember she also has one of Orochimaru's Cursed Seals.
Possibly the only character to still have one now that Sasuke lost his and the Sound Five are all dead.
I'm guessing Kabuto has plans for it, since it's, like, Orichimaru's essence or something,
EDIT: Actually, I just realized something. Itachi is the one that sealed away Orochimaru inside the Totsuka blade. Maybe now that Itachi is here, Kabuto has a plan for releasing his spirit, then he can use Anko as a sacrifice and Edo Tensei Orochimaru!
That would be sweet as fuck! Snake+Zombie Snake vs. Uchiha+Zombie Uchiha!

Repeat a lie long enough and it becomes the truth. But that's only half of the point anyway, whether it's true or not. There's a lot of inherent value in slaying Kabuto regardless of how it affects the zombies. He's a super warcriminal at this point and killing him does at the very least ensure he won't be producing any more zombies. The other positive effect is that all the zombies whose originals wouldn't have been hostile would turn friendly after Kabuto's control ended. This would leave only Madara a big nuisance (and any nasty, villainous zombie we might not have seen yet, if there are such).
Still, it's not like I wouldn't like to see a good battle. Kabuto's behavior does suggest he has a few aces up his sleeve. If keeping him alive allows him to use them, then why not.
I don't think that's true. I think they'd just continue to have to obey the orders they had prior to him dying.
Like how the Kage group were set up to attack anyone that attacked them or tried to get past them without Kabuto controlling them directly. They'd probably just have to keep following that command forever.
Someone he's controlling directly, like Lord Mu, would go back to having his personality maybe, but he still might be bound to his previous orders even then.
I think that's pretty much the case already, as every other zombie of note has already been sealed at this point.
Dramatically speaking, it seems like the fight with Kabuto is really just a race to see if they can get him to end the Jutsu before Madara kills all of the Kages.
