JamesDuh wrote: why is Orochimaru still awake now if he's supposed to be trapped in a Genjutsu world? I can answer that one: Orochimaru's revival is similar to Muu's fission jutsu. It's not that he was unsealed from totsuka, but rather that he was remade from another seal. He's essentially a clone, but given the terminology, it's better to say he's essentially a fission.

The rest, we don't know. I think it's simply a retcon or some dropped idea for the story. If the Totsuka is so great, why not seal enemy attacks? Why throw Magatama at the Chibaku Tensei, why not just seal it? If yata's so great, why does he never use it? Why not block the sound and light of Kabuto's jutsu? Why take such risks?
