Ok now WHAT IS THIS?
I've seen this somewhere in reddit and I'm just gonna say it: Madara tanked that Sage Rasenshuriken and the 'he just regenerated' argument is pure cope.
So edo Madara who's UNDOUBTEDLY weaker than his past self "EMS" TANKED A WHOLE GAINT SAGE RASENSHURIKEN...... and MIND YOU he was immobilized by Hashirama dragons and can't absorb chakra and he took that SAGE RASENSHURIKEN.
After that we literally see him absolutely fine under Hashirama gates he wasn't regenerating which means he tanked that shit.
Or he simply was regenerating off-screen?
Honestly even tho he's my goat but that's an actual possibility of him regenerating off-screen...but...but..
But.. there was literally 0 indications that implies he even regenerated why? Let me tell you...
Hashirama confidently refers to that as "Naruto's justu didn't take him down" he wasn't talking about regeneration he was straight up acknowledging that the attack failed to do any real damage to begin with. If it was just regen Hashirama "who knows about the aspect of edo tensei regeneration" would've pointed that out.
For me this is more than enough but there's more.
Additional points:
1- There wasn't a single frame showing him regenerating, no bits and pieces stitching back together literally nothing, he looked completely clean under those gates, if he actually took damage we would've seen something because it's one of the most visually important effects of the edo tensei even in the manga.
2- The fact that they were legit surprised he wasn't phased shows that his raw durability was the real deal here not the edo tensei regeneration that they be dealing with the whole war.
