Kunoichi101, nobody is saying that.

The similarities between Kashin Koji and Jiraiya, are obvious, but it's obviously not gonna be the same person. Jiraiya is very much dead.

Borjitasstoi's theory is that Kashin Koji is a copy of Jiraiya made by Jigen. Although I initially thought this was an interesting concept, at first, I gotta agree with Vladosaurus.

By the time Jiraiya would've been made a copy of, he'd still have been in his late 30s - early 40s. By that time, he's already our good old incorruptible Pervy Sage. Also he'd look older by now. So corrupting younger Jiraiya doesn't work. And as far as "he's under a genjutsu" goes, I think that's too much of a cop-out, at the same level as "it's jiraiya's son!"
