@Nashekeine Yeah I’m not one to get into power scaling conversations, but yeah considering he’s supposedly a greater threat than Kaguya, according to what Sasuke implies anyway, he’s written very poorly. And to make it worse, they’ve written Sasuke to new levels of low this episode. It was quite cringey.

As for the timeline, I can’t argue much of what you’re saying. But I also think there’s a larger picture for why this arc even exists in the first place beyond the nostalgia trip and fan service. Especially if what you’re saying is true in regards to keeping Jiraiyas memories in tact, I think that could have a heavy influence on the happenings of what’s going on in the manga regarding a certain someone (I hope I’m wrong on that last part by the way). Was Jiraiya even aware of the Ōtsutsuki at that time? To this point all he knows is that the dudes name is Urashiki, and Jiraiya had to prep Naruto for the Akatsuki, as they were the looming threat.
