^TSO can be used to kill edos if the user wants to

Plot

^ bad take.

• He was under the effects of the Reanimation Jutsu, so it makes sense that he survived.

All Edo Hokage were affected by TSO, Minato's arms are gone here literally because of TSO's.

Even I am affected by plot

The plot of the governments, sigh

The TSOs can kill any hokage that isn't tobirama 😎😎 (and naruto I guess 😔)

The idea they grazed him/were only a few millimeters deep is reasonable enough.

I think he teleported before they made physical contact with his actual body but idk

Minato cannot teleport objects he is not in some way in contact with.

And if im not wrong, in the scan the OP posted, there are drawn lines near the TSB that indicate the TSB did touch the cloak and the touched spots on the cloak were nudged a bit
