Why wasn't Konan revived as an Edo?

[Piratefish]

I mean, she would have been far more useful than say, Haku (and even Deidara, it turns out) and the Dynamic Duo CLEARLY has access to her remains...

[u wanna die]

kishi forgot? haha

[Prime Rib]

cause plot no jutsu

['Nāpalm]

Edo Konan=Normal Konan... why? Because she was already paper

[KGB Kakuzu]

Hahahaha so true! Helps having one more body though

[Bijuu13]

She is a female character so kishi forgot about her

[Invsblphntm]

No, Kishi didn't forget. She was the same case as Kisame.

She died after Kabuto had collected the DNA for Edo Tensei, and as an added bonus she was probably well underwater like Jiraiya.

[Suigetsu13]

I agr{ee she could have been a pretty good asset the only problem would be her emotion so kabuto would have to dumb her down a little.

[Big bengi]

You are right, she would be useful to kabuto. But then again may be she sunk to the bottom of the lake like Jiraiya (it is the same location) and kabuto could not recover her body because he went a great length to try and revive all former akatuski members, why wouldheforget her.
You can't really compare her to haku because haku is a part of a two man team that feeds off each other's abilities to make it complete so the fact that zabuza was summoned, haku had to tag along to maximise the combination's effectiveness.

This sadly seems like it might be true.

And this cheered me right up again! Jiraiya's favorite student (she grew up into a hot chick!) meeting the same demise as he did seems fitting in a melancholy sort of way.

Good points.

Konan takes both of them though. Easily.

vwry true bro

really? Kabuto had his edo army preparede before konan even died..

Edo Konan > Edo Deidara?

No freaking way.

Edo Deidara shits on her.

TELL ME that Konan would have achieved LESS than Deidara during the war. HAKU outperfomed Edo Deidara (contributed in cutting a division leader). Deidara's potential as an Edo was HUGE, true, but he disappointed badly.

[Animaeon]

It would make her death less meaningful. She died after an epic battle and held onto her faith in Naruto and Nagato till the last second. Same goes for Kisame, who sacrificed himself in order to protect Obito's identity and plan. So I believe Kishi didn't forget her and Kisame at all, but decided not to bring them back for creative reasons.

Simple, he got trolled by Kishi.

Besides in a war, C4 Bombs > Paper.

So did Konan (not being summoned), and she perfectly counters Deidara's opponents, for example. Is ANYTHING in Deidara's arsenal even CLOSE to her Ultimate tech in power and controlled destruction?

Obviously C4 Bombs < ****ING OMOI. He's a Chuunin! At best!

[Chatte]

You know Konan's body is in the depths of an ocean/lake whatever it is, just like Jiraiya's.
You forget both died in Amekagure in water.
And Kisame hasn't been brought up cause sharks ate him. No DNa.

[Piratefish]

To all the people saying that Kabuto had already summoned all his Edo's, Nagato was summoned directly as a result of Konan's defeat. And when has Kabuto ever been that inflexible?

You make some points, but Obito giving up on Konan's body was his decision, and not a tactically sound one.

Kisame's situation is a bit different, for example Obito wasn't HOLDING objects covered in his genetic matter at the time of his death, if we ignore the body situation.

Was Obito briefed on the Edo Tensei at this point? If he wasn't it's excuseable, but if he was it was an idiotic decision.

Yes but Kabuto did the Edo Army himself.
Remember that Obito had no idea about this until Kabuto came and told him.

That makes not summoning Konan a forgiveable error, but still a pretty bad one.

Yeah this whole thing with the EDO Army could've been done better.
I mean, it would've been nice for team Gai to meet him once again, as well for Sakura to meet Sasori.
These would be 2 of the most wanted battles for me, heh.
But guess Kishi didn't kinda gave it a deep thought.

Very true.
