What wildly conflicting events? You already asked this last episode thread, and I already answered.

I didn't see your second reply. Obito was capable of fighting with the Shinju outside his body, i don't see why Kaguya can't do the same it was never stated in the anime that Kaguya and the Shinju weren't connected. Canon stated that Kaguya was loved then feared, she was loved as Tenji's concubine, then feared as ruler.

The manga had to contradicting moon-creation stories. One being that Hamura and Hagoromo created it after sealing Kaguya, the other being Hagoromo creating the moon on his death-bed. Obito recreated the Shinju outside his body after becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki, the Ten-Tails was Kaguya merged with the God Tree, without Hagoromo and Hamura knowing it. Not some mind connection, they were the same being, the same entity. Kaguya being worshipped and then feared was by the general population, as a ruler, all along. Tenji doesn't exist in the manga, so him loving her has no bearing in that. Stop trying to make up excuses for poor anime writing. I'm not contesting the manga having contradictions, so when the moon was actually created is besides the point. The issue with earlier episodes in this filler arc is that they out-right ignored canon. In building their own narrative, they managed to create contradictions despite the minuscule amount of information to contradict. This episode managed to something that should be the norm, that being not introducing contradictions to the manga.
