UltimaDude wrote: Yeah, those were asspulls, but they were at least shown to have Sage Mode. Not to mention, you are talking about past arcs. But, in the final arcs, where more information about regarding Hagoromo and his sons were revealed, nothing was shown or stated that Asura had interacted with the Tailed Beasts That is Kishi's fault. But, all the hints points to Asura being given power from Hagoromo in the manga, and is confirmed in the anime. How else do you explain him getting Six Paths Sage Mode when it says that it is a power gifted from Hagoromo.
