Okiko Hatake wrote: It would make them near immortal unless the seals are transferrable to those who defeat the original possessor, but that would I think weaken the importance and significance of actually being able to obtain one in the first place. The seals themselves are obtained apparently by killing a god, or at least obtained as a sign of a god's favor. Either way, it's already a form of transferred power. So it makes sense that the Seals themselves can be transferred, and wouldn't reduce their importance or significance in any way.
