Background / History

Madara was originally Uchiha Madara of the ninja world. After his death, his soul retained its consciousness and combat instincts, sensed powerful unfamiliar presences, and was pulled into a new body on the Douluo Continent 1.

He was adopted by Tang Hao in Holy Spirit Village and raised beside Tang San. Tang Hao made clear that Madara was adopted and did not give him the Tang surname; “Madara” remained his sole name in this life 1. Although he became protective of Tang San, Madara retained his belief that strength determines who controls whom, even occasionally taking money from village children to support himself and his brother 1.

After awakening the Sharingan and refusing Spirit Hall’s recruitment, Madara began pursuing strength independently. He trained his body, hunted Spirit Beasts, entered Life and Death Duels for money and combat experience, learned blacksmithing from Tang Hao, and registered as a Soul Master at Spirit Hall while remaining wary of the organization 5 6 10 11.

His victories in soul fighting arenas earned him the name Blood Pupil Asura and, after sweeping arenas around the country without a loss, the title Soul Fighting King 15 16 39. He later became involved with Shrek Academy, trained its students, entered the Asura God’s trials, survived the City of Slaughter, and ultimately founded the Ninjutsu Sect to spread ninjutsu and strengthen allies against Spirit Hall 82 135 300.

Madara was mortally wounded by Qian Daoliu’s Arrow of Angels during Spirit Hall’s campaign against him 282. Obito revived him with Reanimation Jutsu using Kurama’s blood as a medium; Madara subsequently reclaimed his corpse from Spirit Hall and used it to restore a body compatible with his own power 283 285 286.

Appearance

Following two years within Divine Slaughter’s Domain, Madara has a sturdy, powerful frame, a blood-colored Battle Armor, waist-length untrimmed hair, and a sharp, predatory bearing 267.

  • Blood-red Sharingan eyes, ranging from tomoe patterns to Mangekyo forms 5 115.
  • Long, lion-like hair reaching his waist after his two-year absence 267.
  • Often carries a scythe, Uchiha War Fan, and concealed ninja tools 24 205.
  • Wears blood-colored Battle Armor acquired from an armor shop; the armor evokes memories of his former life 29.
  • His presence can be concealed so completely that he appears to be an ordinary person despite his power 267.

Personality

Madara is proud, combative, and intensely driven by the pursuit of strength. He is drawn to powerful enemies and finds easy victories unsatisfying; he specifically sought Life and Death Duels and later allowed enemies to grow stronger so they could become worthwhile opponents 6 16 168.

He has little patience for weakness, empty threats, or dependence on stronger relatives. His blunt dismissal of Meng Yiran as “too weak” reflects a worldview in which power and resolve are the measures of worth 27. In battle, he can be ruthless enough to kill surrendered opponents, particularly when he judges them cowardly or undeserving of mercy 55.

Despite his arrogance, Madara is protective of those he accepts as his own. He pushed Tang San to pursue the path of a Soul Master, intervened when Tang San was threatened, cares for Mumu despite struggling to express it gently, and promised revenge after Kurama was badly injured protecting his interests 8 309 138 283. He also shows rare vulnerability when speaking of Izuna’s death and the hatred he was forced to suppress in his former life 335.

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan Martial Soul

Madara’s Martial Soul is the Sharingan, an eye Spirit awakened with Innate Full Soul Power 5.

  • Grants exceptional dynamic vision, allowing him to track and react to attacks beyond his normal speed 46.
  • Sees through many illusions and detects subtle movements, though it cannot see through physical obstructions such as dense black mist 245.
  • Its evolution increases the scale and power of Madara’s Fire Release techniques 14 18.
  • Its eye contact can impose powerful genjutsu on opponents, including Soul Douluo-level enemies for brief periods 27 47.

Genjutsu

Madara uses the Sharingan to control, disorient, or mentally overwhelm opponents.

  • His Second Spirit Skill is a spiritual, eye-based illusion ability obtained from the Great Eye Spirit Beast 21 26.
  • Can reflect an enemy’s mental attack back at them through direct visual confrontation 26.
  • Defeated stronger Soul Masters through illusion despite differences in Spirit Ring count 29.
  • Can use Kotoamatsukami, a Mangekyo genjutsu capable of controlling targets; he used it on the dwarf old man and later kept the man obedient after releasing him from Kamui 243 268.
  • Soul skills are normally prohibited in the City of Slaughter, preventing its use there until Kelder temporarily granted access to Divine Slaughter’s Domain 243.

Copy

Madara’s Third Spirit Skill replicates abilities from opponents and Spirit Beasts.

  • Initially copies Spirit Skills of three rings or below; the limit rises with his cultivation 38.
  • Replicated explosive ninja-tool techniques and used them to kill Blue Red Frog 55.
  • Copied Zhu Zhuqing’s Netherworld Shadow Clone, producing numerous combat-capable duplicates of himself 173.
  • Copied the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s lightning attribute to use Lightning Release: Chidori 288.

Fire Release

Madara’s First Spirit Skill gives him control over flames and boosts fire-based attacks by fifty percent 14.

  • Great Fireball — exhales and condenses flames into a large explosive fireball 14.
  • Blazing Inferno — engulfed half a Soul Fighting Arena; consumed roughly thirty percent of his Soul Power in one use 18.
  • Phoenix Sage Fire Claw Crimson — combines Fire Release with altered ninja-tool trajectories to produce difficult-to-evade flaming volleys 24.
  • Great Fire Annihilation — fills the battlefield with a massive sea of flame 42 47.
  • Through Shinra Bansho, his Fire Release can be enhanced by black, inextinguishable Amaterasu flames that burn even through water 115.

Mangekyo Sharingan

Madara first touched the Mangekyo during a breakdown over Tang San’s presumed death, but the form was unstable and caused severe backlash 76.

  • Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan — awakened after consuming and refining the remaining Blood Fiend Grass, restoring vitality and stabilizing his ocular power 114.
  • Shinra Bansho — enhances his existing Spirit Skills into Mangekyo-level variations, including Amaterasu-augmented Fire Release 115.
  • Blood Slash — condenses blood aura onto weapons to increase cutting power; can drain an opponent’s life force to restore Madara’s stamina and injuries 115.
  • Can absorb and counter hatred- and slaughter-derived dark energy, which Madara considers nourishment for the Sharingan 224.

Susanoo

Susanoo is Madara’s giant spectral warrior manifestation.

  • First manifests as a partial skeletal form after he gains the Great Ape King’s left-arm soul bone 76.
  • The soul bone lets him use Susanoo’s left arm with little burden, though the rest of the early form is largely phantom 76.
  • Yasakani no Magatama — launches a rotating projectile of three magatama formed from Soul Power and Chakra 78.
  • Can form defensive ribs and arms capable of blocking powerful Spirit Skills and physically overwhelming opponents 143.
  • Its early versions consumed immense Soul Power and could not block spiritual attacks 123 293.
  • After obtaining his seventh ring, Susanoo becomes his Martial Soul Avatar and can be sustained through the Spirit Ring rather than solely through his eyes 264 265.

Chakra, Sage Mode, and Eight Inner Gates

Madara retained ninja training from his former life and adapted it to Soul Power.

  • Learned to mutually convert Soul Power and Chakra, later combining them into a hybrid energy 11 83.
  • Sage Mode — combines natural Chakra with his own power, enhancing his strength, senses, and aura control 82 83.
  • Eight Inner Gates — forcibly boosts his physical ability and speed; he uses it to evade spiritual attacks and challenge stronger enemies 47 293.
  • The technique strengthens his meridians but places major stress on his body when pushed to higher output 126 288.

Space-Time and Clone Techniques

Madara eventually restored several fundamental ninja techniques that had initially been unavailable in the Douluo world.

  • Kamui — space-time technique used to escape Bibi Dong, imprison living targets, and evade Snake Lance Douluo’s attack 285 268 309.
  • Shadow Clone — produces functional duplicates; a clone transmitted Reanimation Jutsu knowledge to Obito before Madara’s death 283.
  • Body Flicker Technique — grants burst movement comparable to a rare teleportation Soul Skill 250.
  • Substitution Technique — replaces Madara with an object to evade lethal attacks 250.
  • Transformation Technique — used to deceive the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord during their mental battle 294.

Reanimation Jutsu

Madara was revived after his death by a version of Reanimation Jutsu performed by Obito 283.

  • Obito received the technique from Madara’s Shadow Clone at the moment Madara’s original body was dying 283.
  • Kurama’s blood served as the required medium 283.
  • Madara later reclaimed his original corpse and used Reanimation Jutsu to inhabit a body perfectly compatible with his own power 286.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Uchiha War Fan — forged by Tang Hao; used defensively and to execute Uchiha Rebound, reflecting powerful attacks back at opponents 14 43.
  • Sickle — forged alongside the War Fan; Madara’s primary close-combat weapon 14 24.
  • Battle Armor — old rusted armor purchased from a shop; becomes a powerful, fitting suit that carries personal significance for Madara 29.
  • Kunai and shuriken — used with Uchiha throwing techniques, explosive tags, Fire Release, and copied skills 10 24 205.
  • Silent Sleeve Arrow — concealed launcher capable of firing multiple short arrows 10.
  • Storage Ring — allows rapid replenishment and deployment of large quantities of ninja tools 129.
  • Great Ape King’s left-arm soul bone — enabled Madara’s earliest usable Susanoo manifestation 76.

Relationships

  • Tang San — Adoptive younger brother. Madara is fiercely protective of him, pushed him to become a Soul Master, and later returned to save him from Snake Lance Douluo 8 309.
  • Tang Hao — Adoptive father and blacksmithing mentor. Their relationship begins with distance and tension but develops through training, Spirit Beast hunts, and Tang Hao forging Madara’s weapons 10 14.
  • Grandmaster (Yu Xiaogang)Tang San’s teacher and one of Madara’s guides. Madara respects his knowledge and later seeks his help cultivating Sage Mode 13 82.
  • Mumu — Madara’s disciple. Madara becomes protective of him after recognizing his sapling Martial Soul’s connection to Hashirama and later chooses Mumu as a potential bearer of the Sharingan 133 286.
  • Obito — Controlled subordinate and trusted disciple. Obito revives Madara through Reanimation Jutsu and coordinates work for the Ninjutsu Sect 283 300.
  • Kurama — Powerful Spirit Beast companion. Their relationship shifts from hostility to mutual reliance; Madara vows revenge after Kurama is injured following Madara’s death 33 283.
  • Meng Yiran — Initially antagonistic peer and proposed match. Madara gives her the Crimson Serpent’s Spirit Ring but rejects the proposal, calling her too weak 26 27.
  • Oscar — Shrek student whom Madara trains harshly. Madara uses genjutsu to awaken Oscar’s fighting spirit and later pushes him beyond his limits 55 86 119.
  • Qian Renxue — Political adversary with whom Madara develops an unusual personal understanding through their shared loneliness and painful pasts 309 335.
  • Hashirama Senju — Madara’s former rival and close friend from the ninja world. Learning that Hashirama has reincarnated through Mumu reignites Madara’s desire for another battle 332.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Soul Ring Hunts and Soul Fighting Arena

After obtaining his first Soul Ring from the Fire Wolf King, Madara funds himself through blacksmithing and Life and Death Duels. His victory over the Rock Fang Demon Pig establishes the Blood Pupil Asura identity, while later arena campaigns earn him the title Soul Fighting King 10 11 15 39.

Shrek Academy and the Rise of Susanoo

Madara reunites with Tang San, clashes with Dai Mubai and Zhao Wuji, and becomes associated with Shrek Academy.

Asura God Trials and the City of Slaughter

Madara encounters Kelder, guardian of an Asura God trial site, and becomes involved in the path toward the Asura God’s inheritance 135.

Trivia

  • Madara’s name in his new life is a single name rather than “Tang Ban,” because Tang Hao did not consider himself qualified to grant the Tang surname to an adopted child 1.
  • He learned the basics of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer by observing Tang Hao through the Sharingan, then used the knowledge to forge farm tools and ninja equipment 11.
  • Madara considers conventional Soul Master combat overly reliant on Spirit Skills and values systematic close-combat techniques more highly 25.
  • He regards the Three Basic Techniques of the ninja world as exceptionally valuable in Douluo because their effects resemble rare spatial and survival Soul Skills 250.
