Kiadony wrote: Because the sacrifice is killed in the process. We don't know. We only know that once the technique ends, the host is dead. We also know that jinchuriki die upon biju extraction, so that matches. Kiadony wrote: Again, why wouldn't the soul be removed? It's supposed to be replaced by reanimated person's soul, after all. I don't think it is replaced. The host simply acts as an anchor for the soul, as we've seen souls having very little ability to interact with the world. An Edo is essentially an inverse jinchuriki, in stead of having the soul sealed away for safety the host is intentionally overwhelmed to manifest the soul's power.
