Oh boy, where to begin? So... I hate to say it, but it looks like all those roundabout canon discussions will need to have some merit after all. There may have been more contradictions in this single episode than the whole rest of the anime.
 * Kaguya eats the fruit and transforms into her current form. The Shinju randomly sprouts a second tree with an eyeball on top that serves no apparent purpose.
 * Cut to twenty or so years later, the aforementioned sprout has vanished without a trace.
 * Kaguya wills the Shinju to come alive and transform into the Ten-Tails. Hagoromo and Hamura witness this, so him saying it was trying to reclaim its lost chakra from Kaguya makes no sense anymore.
 * Hagoromo frees the people trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi, even though he said he's only researched how to free them.
 * The White Zetsu ending up inside the Demonic Statue now makes even less sense. The Ten-Tails and all the people bound to the Shinju remained on Earth and were freed, so there shouldn't even be any Zetsu. Was Kaguya regularly consuming the developing Zetsu or something?
 * For that matter, how'd the statue end up in the moon anyway? The Ten-Tails was never even sealed in it, just Kaguya herself was.
 * The Ten-Tails withered into nothing, yet Hagoromo somehow turned its chakra into the tailed beasts. He did so before sealing them inside himself, meaning he was never a Ten-Tails jinchūriki at all, but jinchūriki of the nine instead.
 * Kurama's statement about Hagoromo surviving extraction still makes no sense.
 * Either Studio Pierrot thinks Hagoromo's forehead marking is actually an eye, or he skipped right past his Mangekyō Sharingan without us seeing it, and said marking just appeared for some other reason.
 * The markings on Hagoromo's and Hamura's backs are missing all episode, and the origin of Six Path Senjutsu and the Yin/Yang powers was never addressed at all. We don't know how Hamura acquired his Truth-Seeking Balls or if he was just borrowing Hagoromo's to fight the Ten-Tails and got his own later.
 * Did Hamura spawn his moon clan out of thin air? They have Byakugan so they must be his children, yet some looked almost as old as he was in The Last.
