I don't think he was the original, just another zetsu soldier that was laying low and listening to Madara's orders telepathically. I think there were many White Zetsu soldiers that were laying low here and there. As to why they all crumbled when the I.T. was stopped is another mystery :P Probably just convient story-writing. I actually meant just before the start of the war, when the original is fused with Black Zetsu again for a little bit, but I was wrong. He actually shows back up in the Kage Summit, only a few chapters after he supposedly "dies". I'd say it's evidence there is no "original", except some of the others actually call him that when they find out Sasuke killed him. Then again, him being called the original no longer makes any sense now that we know they all used to be people. And yeah, them crumbling was probably just a plot device to get rid of all the stragglers, but it was strange to see Guruguru die so unceremoniously after his big reappearance.
