makes no sense. Again, the moon was originally a Chibaku Tensei and eventually an entire new world. It would've taken time to form the moon, it would've taken time for life to form, for people to move there, etc. They may not even have realized it was necessary until later.

After all, Hagoromo may not have realized splitting the biju was necessary until he was near death. He may have thought initially that as he dies, the Juubi dies but something eventually made him realize that the Juubi would reform on his death. It's possible that the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei was believed to be the final solution until Hagoromo realized the problem. Considering Elveonora's idea, i think it makes sense that the Gedo was resealed with a new chibaku tensei and Hamura went to the moon to watch over that particular seal, which was previously not necessary.

That may sound weird, but remember that Hagoromo lacked the Gedo which is what grants people long life. We know from e.g. Naruto that just the biju itself is not particularly healthy as it rapidly burns through one's lifeforce.

Ravenlot 27 wrote Secondly, it's a pretty lame reason for Hagoromo to ask Hamura to lend him the Statue. I imagined their dialogue for a moment: I would expect it to go more like "the juubi's going to outlive me if we don't do something", and "i need the Gedo Statue to not die while splitting the Juubi". Ravenlot 27 wrote And thirdly, the Beasts' extraction doesn't mean an instant death, especially for the man like Hagoromo. I'm not terribly convinced, we've seen people survive for dramatic purposes before. E.G. a chidori through the heart would knock you unconscious in the lack of a few heartbeats. Ravenlot 27 wrote Besides, regarding Madara, it's not a contradiction. I didn't mean that Hagoromo wasn't able to break out the Statue from the Moon (even while Madara was). I just noted that Hagoromo could be unable to restore the seal afterwards, something Madara has never tried to do. This seems solved by Elveonora's addition that it was sealed by a second chibaku tensei.
