Madara

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Madara and Hashirama Senju were childhood friends before learning that they belonged to enemy clans. Their friendship became entangled with the Uchiha–Senju conflict, while Madara’s hatred toward Tobirama Senju deepened after Tobirama killed his younger brother, Izuna. Despite this loss, Madara allied with the Senju to establish Konoha, though he never believed the old distrust between the clans had truly disappeared. 257 270

His father, Uchiha Tajima, was a strict leader during the Sengoku era. Madara remembers that, despite his severity, Tajima secretly brought rice cakes home for him and Izuna after returning from battle. 285

In Konoha, Madara serves as Deputy Hokage alongside Hashirama. He remains wary of outsiders and immediately notices the unfamiliar presence of Natsu, Yaoyu, and Yakumi in the Uchiha district. Identifying their Sharingan and deducing their connection to Flame Ninja Village, he confronts them to learn their purpose. 257 259

Natsu’s account of another timeline forces Madara to confront the possible destruction of the Uchiha Clan, the failure of Konoha’s ideals, and the fate of another Madara who was killed by Hashirama and manipulated by Black Zetsu. Though disturbed by the revelation, Madara accepts Hashirama’s sincerity and agrees to continue protecting their world’s fragile peace. 263 266

Madara’s despair deepens after Natsu reveals that the Six Paths Stone Tablet and the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan were falsified by Black Zetsu. Alone at Naka Shrine, he recognizes that the ideals, sacrifices, and ambitions defining his life had been manipulated by another’s scheme, leaving him emotionally exhausted and unable to understand what he had fought for. 271

Madara later travels with Natsu to Flame Ninja Village and meets Uchiha King. He sees through King’s earlier intention to rely on his strength against Konoha, but accepts that King has built contingencies for the clan’s survival rather than placing all hope in him. 273 279 281

After learning that the Rinnegan may revive the dead at the cost of the caster’s life, Madara reveals his inability to let go of Izuna’s death. He retrieves a sample of Izuna’s remains from beneath Naka Shrine, leaves Konoha with Natsu, and allows Natsu to use Impure World Reincarnation to restore Izuna. 284 288 290 293

Upon joining Natsu’s family, Madara receives its unlocked Family Traits. These enhancements rebuild his body and awaken his bloodline’s potential, giving him a foundation for further ocular evolution and the opportunity to pursue Izuna’s eventual restoration without the limitations of his original counterpart’s aging body. 285 287 323

Madara returns with Izuna to Origin Island, where Setsuna and the Uchiha recognize the brothers as legends of the clan’s past. He accepts the position of Honorary Elder, refusing the burden of being clan head again while retaining authority to intervene when necessary. 288 306

Following his victory over Kaido, Madara returns safely to Origin Island and cautions Izuna to resolve the restraints of his Reanimation body before leaving to fight. He later travels alone through the seas, partly to recover from the collapse of his belief in the Eye of the Moon Plan. Natsu permits this wandering because the clan has no immediate crisis requiring his presence. 353 387

Following his victory over Kaido, Madara undergoes recovery and continued enhancement while observing the Uchiha Clan’s transformation of West Blue. He comes to regard the region’s harsh but effective administration, public security, and prosperity as a form of genuine peace absent from the World Government-controlled seas. 439

Natsu later summons Madara to respond to the Marines’ attempted ambush of younger Uchiha on a deserted New World island. Traveling aboard an Uchiha warship, Madara reaches Sabaody Archipelago to warn the Marine high command against further surveillance, traps, or persecution of the clan. 452 458 459

After defeating the Marines, Madara’s confrontation expands into a duel with Garp and a battle against reinforcements from Mary Geoise. He permanently kills Saint Jaygarcia Saturn with his newly revealed Takamimusubi technique and then challenges Imu. Pushed toward exhaustion in their prolonged fight, Madara awakens the Rinnegan, a development Natsu hopes will eventually allow Izuna’s true resurrection. 480 494 499 509 512 513

His new eyes develop into the Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, allowing him to press Imu with stronger repulsion, gravitational sealing, and rule-based ocular techniques. Imu’s successive transformations and connection to the seas’ rules prevent a decisive victory, eventually forcing Madara to enter an unstable Six Paths Sage Mode. 535 536 550 571 572 574

After Natsu returns from sealing Uranus in outer space, the two fight together to prevent Imu’s forces from breaking further sealing chains. Madara remains beside Natsu when the confrontation expands to the world’s will and its thousand-plus manifested demons. 580 581 585

Appearance

Madara is a tall man with long black hair falling over his shoulders, sharp features, and a perpetually cold, detached expression. He frequently stands with his arms folded and carries an oppressive presence even when calm. 257 274 306

• Usually wears formal Uchiha clan attire or an older Sengoku-era Uchiha uniform. 274 306
• Possesses scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan, which later transform into ring-patterned Rinnegan and then display the six tomoe of his Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan. 257 277 513 535
• His old uniform is faded and carries dust or grass along its cuffs after travel. 306
• When using Complete Susanoo, he stands upon the brow of the giant in crimson clan robes. 350
• Though he appears as a young man, his eyes convey the accumulated experience, killing intent, and arrogance of a warrior shaped by centuries of conflict. 458 465
• During the initial Sabaody battle, pale-blue skeletal Susanoo armor clings around his body while chakra mist surrounds him. 463 465
• Activating Takamimusubi produces an overlapping, translucent soul-like phantom, circulating silver-blue light, and Yin–Yang ripples around his body. 494
• After awakening the Rinnegan, he is bloodied and his robes are torn; a dark-purple aura and shifting black matter gather around him. 513
• During his travels and voyage, he also wears simple black clothing or a dark-blue fitted outfit, showing a less ceremonial appearance away from battle. 438 448
• In Six Paths Sage Mode, his hair becomes white, gray-white sage robes cover his body, and ten pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs bearing dark-gold light surround him. His eyes retain their scarlet Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan appearance. 574 575

Personality

Madara is stoic, proud, and bluntly pragmatic. He speaks little, often dismissing conversation with brief answers, but he observes people and political motives closely. He recognizes that Uchiha King is preparing an escape route rather than trusting in a lasting peace, and he immediately notices when others try to make plans around his strength. 264 279

Despite his cold exterior, Madara cares deeply for those he considers his own. Izuna’s death remains the central wound of his life, and seeing his brother resurrected overwhelms him to the point of tears. His relationship with Hashirama also retains genuine trust, even after learning that another Hashirama killed another version of him. 266 284 293

Madara values strength, resolve, and results. He praises Chunwu for surviving and achieving victory rather than dwelling on mistakes, and he sees Kaido as worthy of respect only after Kaido proves capable of shattering his Susanoo blade. 337 343 344

He does not consider killing a defeated opponent to be meaningful victory. After defeating Kaido, he refuses to pursue him, viewing the act as beneath a true battle between powerful warriors. 345

Madara believes that peace ultimately depends on the power to establish and enforce order. The prosperity and stability of Uchiha-controlled West Blue reinforce his conviction that strong, uncompromising authority is more meaningful than the World Government’s superficial peace. 439 467

Although arrogant, Madara is not tactically reckless. He recognizes the veteran admirals as forces comparable to the Four Emperors and considers Garp a potential opponent worthy of comparison to Hashirama. His willingness to confront the Marines at Sabaody stems partly from his duty to deter them and partly from his desire for a meaningful battle. 458 459 460

Garp’s arrival rekindles Madara’s long-dormant fighting spirit. He relishes their duel, but exploits hesitation and openings rather than relying solely on strength. Imu likewise excites him as an opponent capable of demanding an earnest fight. 480 484 493 499

Madara describes his defeat of the Marines as punishment and a warning rather than an attempt to massacre them. Nevertheless, he subsequently prepares a potentially fatal Susanoo strike against their remaining forces before Garp arrives. After awakening the Rinnegan, he summons a meteor over Sabaody; his clansmen worry that his exhilaration and the strain of Imu’s earlier attacks may be clouding his usual reluctance to endanger innocents. 470 471 514 517

Away from combat, Madara can display quiet tenderness and leisure. An ordinary peaceful village in East Blue brings a rare gentle smile to his eyes, while during his voyage he relaxes in a rattan recliner and reads folktales. These moments coexist with his awareness of the clan’s strategic goals and the corruption underlying the World Government’s apparent peace. 438 448

He rejects the idea that being Indra’s reincarnation defines his identity or limits his future, regarding himself as Madara Uchiha rather than a vessel for another’s fate. He also accepts Natsu’s principle that the clan must develop its younger fighters rather than depend indefinitely on a few supreme combatants. 279 563

Abilities & Skills

Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan

Madara possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, granting him exceptional ocular power and the foundation for his advanced Susanoo manifestations. His activated eyes create a frigid pressure that even experienced shinobi recognize immediately. During his battle with Imu, these eyes reach their limit and evolve into the Rinnegan. 269 277 512 513

• His Sharingan allows him to maintain awareness and composure against high-speed opponents. 339 343
• His ocular power undergoes further evolution after receiving the Light of Susanoo. 322
• He nurtures the Rinnegan over time and ultimately awakens it while fighting Imu. 323 387 512
• His Sharingan’s dynamic vision and predictive ability enable him to read the trajectories of light-speed attacks, Haki-enhanced strikes, artillery fire, and massed enemy movements. 461 462 468
• Against Garp and Imu, he uses ocular prediction to follow high-speed attacks, identify openings, and coordinate Susanoo’s movements. 490 493 505 506
• Takamimusubi — His exclusive Mangekyō technique balances Yin and Yang within his body and soul, greatly reduces the chakra, ocular power, and stamina consumed by his abilities, and creates a resonance that amplifies his physical attacks, ninjutsu, ocular power, and Susanoo. Unlike Ōkuninushi, it does not bind body and soul to provide its particular form of recovery. 494

Rinnegan

Madara awakens the Rinnegan when his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan reaches its limit under Imu’s assault. Natsu attributes the breakthrough to Madara’s long perseverance, gene serum, and strengthened physical foundation. Natsu regards him as a second Six Paths-level Uchiha, but orders additional serum because the newly awakened eyes’ foundation remains unstable. 510 512 513

• Shinra Tensei — His first demonstrated Rinnegan technique releases a vast repulsive force that clears Imu’s black mist, red fireballs, and projected weapons while disrupting the surrounding sea and atmosphere and tearing Imu’s wings. 512
• His transformation is accompanied by dark-purple primal energy and shifting black matter; the pressure of his new ocular power begins to eclipse that of his Susanoo. 513 514
• The Rinnegan further enhances his anticipation of Imu’s movements, allowing him to respond to a powerful sword attack with a palm-directed Shinra Tensei. 524

Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan

Madara’s evolved eyes are explicitly identified as Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan. They have already maintained this form since the descent of Tengai Shinsei, combining concentric patterns with six tomoe and power described as more ancient and fundamental than the seas’ known systems. 535

• Enhanced perception and defense — Tracks the trajectories of all twenty of Imu’s royal weapons. Madara also forms a thin dark-purple chakra shield over his palm that withstands strikes from the Void Sword and Chaos Sword, although further attacks can drive him backward. 535
• Super Shinra Tensei — A greatly expanded repulsive field that covers thousands of meters of airspace in less than a breath, far exceeding his earlier Shinra Tensei in speed and extent. 535
• Chibaku Tensei — Uses gravitational sealing to imprison Imu within a rocky sphere. Madara can reinforce its sealing patterns and close cracks with additional ocular power, but Imu eventually breaks free in his complete demon form. 536 550
• Kotoamatsukami — Rewrites the rules of the surrounding sky to suppress an opponent’s power. Against Imu’s complete demon form, it reduces his available strength to Super-Kage Level. It is less effective against Imu’s true form, whose power is connected to the rules of the seas themselves, and cannot force that form down to the same level. 550 572
• Musu Prison: Binding Rule — Immobilizes Imu after his power is suppressed, creating an opening for a finishing Susanoo strike. An unfamiliar ancient glow from Imu’s wings begins eroding the restraints. 550
• Perceptual limits — Despite following Imu’s gaze toward the depths beneath Mary Geoise, Madara cannot sense the hidden location because it lies beyond his perceptual range. 572

Six Paths Sage Mode

Madara enters Six Paths Sage Mode as Imu’s destruction of sealing chains threatens to increase his power beyond what Madara can suppress. Rather than initially forming Susanoo armor, Madara releases and transforms his chakra, turning all of it into Six Paths chakra and all his ninjutsu into Yin–Yang Release. 574

• Truth-Seeking Orbs — Ten pitch-black orbs surround him, each carrying powerful Yin–Yang Release and dark-gold patterns. They can change shape and serve as the material for his Six Paths Staff. 574 576
• Enhanced weapons — Can condense Susanoo’s Tachi with dark-gold patterns woven from Six Paths chakra and Yin–Yang Release. 574
• Concentrated close combat — Draws his power inward rather than relying on Susanoo’s size, concentrating Six Paths chakra and Yin–Yang Release into his staff. This increases his speed severalfold and gives each precise strike enough force to damage Imu’s weapon array. 576
• Suppression through sustained offense — His staff attacks force Imu to devote most of his power to defense, pressing back the strength released by the third broken chain and slowing the fourth chain’s destruction. 576
• Instability and consumption — The mode is not yet stable. Madara estimates that prolonged high-intensity combat may exhaust it in an hour or two, or even a few dozen minutes. Leaving the mode would still allow him to contend with an ordinary Six Paths-level opponent, but would not provide enough power against Imu’s strengthened state. 574
• He retains the form during the later confrontation with the world’s will, wielding his staff with ten Truth-Seeking Orbs rotating at its tip. 585

Susanoo

Madara can instantly manifest a Semi-Complete Susanoo, bypassing the gradual formation process normally required of Uchiha users. 340

• Semi-Complete Susanoo — A sky-blue armored giant capable of wielding a massive chakra blade and resisting Kaido’s attacks. 340 343
• Yasaka Magatama — A powerful projectile attack launched immediately after manifesting Semi-Complete Susanoo. 340
• Complete Susanoo — An armored giant with enormous wings, capable of dominating the battlefield and intimidating even Kaido. It is described as six hundred meters tall at Coral Port and seven hundred meters tall during the later Sabaody battle. 344 480
• Heavenfall Slash — A Complete Susanoo sword strike that severely injures Kaido, renders him unconscious, and sends him into the sea. 344
• His Semi-Complete Susanoo’s chakra blade can be shattered by Kaido’s full-force Haki-enhanced strike, forcing Madara to evade rather than continue defending head-on. 343
• First and Second-Stage Susanoo — Madara can manifest skeletal Susanoo forms and close-fitting bone armor for offense and defense, using them to withstand the combined attacks of admirals, vice admirals, artillery, magma, and light-based attacks. 462 463 468
• A single skeletal Susanoo punch forced the assembled Sabaody Marine force to expend layered Haki defenses, artillery, magma, and light-based techniques merely to halt it. A later skeletal-arm blow broke their defensive line and central formation. 463 469
• Fourth-Form Susanoo — A form exceeding three hundred meters in height, with a completed lower body and an enormous sword. Madara manifests it over the defeated Marines, but Garp arrives before its intended finishing strike lands. 471
• Against Garp, Complete Susanoo withstands direct Haki-enhanced punches and neutralizes coordinated ranged attacks from Saturn and the God’s Knights. Madara can also deliberately dispel it mid-exchange to disrupt Garp’s timing before counterattacking. 484 493
• Takamimusubi and Yin–Yang resonance empower a Susanoo rising more than a thousand meters above the sea. Its attacks overwhelm the God’s Knights, while its grasp suppresses Saturn’s resurrection contract and crushes him. 494
• Against Imu, the thousand-meter Susanoo’s wings arrest its recoil after a massive collision, while Yin–Yang Release repairs damage to its armor. Prolonged full-power combat can nevertheless deplete Madara’s chakra and slow the construct. 500 505 509
• After the Rinnegan awakens, Susanoo reforms with dark-purple primal energy and mirrors Madara’s hand seals. 514
• With the Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, its armor becomes more solid and physically distinct, while primordial power flows over its weapons. Concentrating all of Complete Susanoo’s chakra into its twin swords produces a finishing attack described as capable of erasing an island. 536 550
• Madara expands and reinforces Complete Susanoo rather than retreating when Imu aims the Uranus Scepter at him. 551
• Imu’s true-form weapons can damage Susanoo’s underlying chakra structure. The Void Sword makes part of the construct vanish, leaving a hole whose edges continuously disintegrate and which does not heal, forcing Madara to withdraw several hundred meters. 571 572

Haki

Madara has learned to integrate Haki with his chakra-based fighting style, compensating for his initial unfamiliarity with the power system of the seas. He is later described as having mastered all three types of Haki at an Admiral–Emperor level of skill. 339 459 462 509

• Observation Haki — He combines it with chakra sensing and Sharingan perception to scan Sabaody Archipelago and identify the Marine forces stationed there. He later detects Garp’s approach before the veteran reaches the battlefield. 459 471
• Armament Haki — He coats his fists and arms in Armament Haki, allowing him to clash directly with Kizaru’s light-speed attacks and overpower Akainu’s magma-based assaults. 462 467
• His Haki-enhanced physical strikes can shatter elite Marines’ armor, weapons, and defensive Haki with minimal effort. 466
• Conqueror’s Haki — He is identified as having mastered the third type of Haki, though the cited account does not describe a distinct Conqueror’s Haki technique used by him. 509

Ninjutsu and Combat Instinct

Madara combines ninjutsu, Haki, precise movement, and combat experience in battle. He remains unharmed through much of his initial exchange with Kaido by evading and countering attacks with superior timing. 339

• Uses destructive Fire Release to destroy Beasts Pirates ships after Kaido’s defeat. 345
• Rapidly adjusts tactics when an opponent exceeds his expectations, retreating from Kaido’s strongest blow rather than risking unnecessary damage. 343
• Can fight independently against an Emperor-level force and orders the younger Uchiha to withdraw rather than support him. 337
• Chakra Barrier — Can produce a resilient chakra barrier that neutralizes Haki-infused bullets, artillery shells, explosions, and other ranged attacks before they reach him. 461 466
• Body Flicker Technique — Uses extreme-speed movement to bypass Marine formations and enter their ranks before they can react. 463 464
• Five Elements Ninjutsu — Employs Fire, Water, and Wind Release to disrupt enemy formations, prevent coordination, and divide large forces. 464
• Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation — Produces a massive sea of flames capable of consuming artillery fire and clashing directly with Akainu’s magma. 461
• Great Flame Ball — A basic Fire Release technique whose overwhelming heat breaks veteran vice admirals’ defensive formation. 466
• Water Style: Water Formation Wall and Wind Release: Gale Slash — Basic elemental techniques he deploys rapidly alongside Fire Release, using precise chakra control to combine offense, defense, and battlefield disruption without lengthy seal preparation. 464
• His taijutsu is powerful enough to overwhelm vice admirals and large groups of elite Marines through efficient, precise strikes rather than large-scale techniques. 463 466 468
• He uses an apparent opening created by dismissing Susanoo to reach Saturn before even powerful Observation Haki users can react, beheading him with an ordinary Marine saber. Saturn initially survives through his resurrection contract. 484
• Yin–Yang Release — In conjunction with Takamimusubi, reinforces his offense and repairs damage sustained by Susanoo during his battle with Imu. In Six Paths Sage Mode, all his ninjutsu becomes Yin–Yang Release. 494 500 505 574
• Meteor summoning — After awakening the Rinnegan, he and his Susanoo form hand seals to call down a meteor whose shadow covers Sabaody, the surrounding sea, and Mary Geoise. The technique is identified as Tengai Shinsei. Imu later confronts another descending meteor with a demonic spear. 514 517 569
• During the later battle, he uses his staff and hand seals to release dark-gold ripples that suppress black mist beneath Imu and briefly stall his increasing power. 579

Enhanced Physique

Madara’s body has been strengthened by genetic serum and multiple trait enhancements, restoring him to his prime and raising both his physical foundation and combat power beyond his former limits. 331

• Return to Origin — Awakens his dormant Uchiha bloodline, purges hidden injuries and bloodline impurities, increases his underlying chakra reserves by several tenths, and nearly halves the threshold for further Sharingan evolution. 287
• Long-Lived Species — Guarantees family members a lifespan of at least ten thousand years. 287
• Diligence Overcomes Weakness — Allows abilities that can be trained, including Haki, taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, and Sage Mode, to improve through sustained effort without talent imposing the same limits. 287
• Will Kin — Is among the Family Traits granted to him during his empowerment. 287
• Time Traveler — Enables adaptation to the rules of other worlds and the learning of foreign power systems, including Haki and Devil Fruit powers. This trait grants compatibility rather than demonstrating that Madara has consumed a Devil Fruit. 287
• His prime condition enables him to nurture the Rinnegan gradually instead of relying on an aging body. The strength of that foundation later contributes to its awakening during the battle against Imu. 323 512
• Before awakening the Rinnegan, he is considered one step below Six Paths Level due to his incomplete ocular evolution and lack of senjutsu. 387
• His enhanced body and combat foundation allow him to remain unharmed and apparently unstressed while contending with two admirals, veteran vice admirals, and tens of thousands of Marines. 462 465
• Before his Rinnegan awakening, he is described as the strongest combatant below Six Paths Level, surpassing even Hashirama at his peak while still lacking Yin–Yang Release and a fully awakened Rinnegan. He subsequently demonstrates Yin–Yang Release through Takamimusubi and awakens the Rinnegan. 331 494 512
• Despite Takamimusubi’s reduction of energy costs, fighting Imu at full intensity without a Six Paths foundation or Susanoo-based Sage Mode gradually exhausts his stored chakra. 509
• His later Six Paths Sage Mode further elevates his power, but its instability and energy requirements remain significant limitations despite his enhanced foundation. 574

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Izuna’s kunai — An old kunai left by Izuna, bearing an Uchiha Gunbai pattern on its hilt. Madara keeps it as a personal memento. 263
• Sengoku-era Uchiha uniform — The traditional uniform he wears after leaving Konoha; its aged condition reflects its origin in the Warring States period. 306
• Uchiha Clan warship — A black warship bearing the Uchiha crest that transports Madara and accompanying Uchiha forces during his mission to Sabaody Archipelago. 452 458
• Marine saber — An ordinary saber Madara briefly takes up to behead Saint Saturn after abandoning Susanoo as a feint. 484
• Book of folktales — A yellowed storybook he reads while relaxing aboard the warship during his deterrence mission. 448
• Six Paths Staff — A weapon formed by reshaping a Truth-Seeking Orb. Its black shaft bears dense Yin–Yang Release patterns and dark-gold light, while a fist-sized black sphere at its head concentrates Six Paths chakra and Yin–Yang Release. Madara uses it to focus his power into precise close-range attacks. 576

Relationships

• Hashirama Senju — Childhood friend, co-founder of Konoha, and fellow leader. Madara trusts Hashirama despite learning the fate of their counterparts in another world. 257 266
• Izuna Uchiha — Younger brother whose death shaped Madara’s life. Madara’s desire to revive Izuna leads him to leave Konoha and cooperate with Natsu’s plan. After Izuna’s resurrection through Impure World Reincarnation, Madara remains deeply attentive to his brother’s well-being and eventual true resurrection; his Rinnegan awakening renews the clan’s hope for that outcome. Natsu later confirms that his Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan will soon allow Izuna’s complete restoration, but that restoration has not yet been shown. 270 284 293 330 440 513 580
• Uchiha Natsu — A powerful junior from another world who becomes Madara’s ally and clan head. Natsu supports Madara’s return to the Uchiha, arranges Izuna’s resurrection, oversees Madara’s enhancements, and dispatches him to warn the Marines at Sabaody. During the later battle, Natsu destroys Saturn’s remains after Madara kills him and prepares serum to stabilize Madara’s newly awakened Rinnegan. After sealing Uranus, Natsu returns to fight beside him and suffers a deep shoulder wound while protecting him from Imu’s twisted figures. 274 288 323 458 459 494 513 580 581
• Uchiha Tajima — Madara’s father and a strict Sengoku-era Uchiha leader. Madara recalls his severity with affection, particularly his habit of secretly bringing rice cakes home for his sons after battle. 285
• Tobirama Senju — Longstanding enemy and Izuna’s killer. Madara remains openly hostile toward Tobirama, though both suppress open conflict for broader stability. 257 288 290
• Uchiha King — Leader of Flame Ninja Village. Madara is suspicious of King’s reliance on his power but recognizes the village leader’s preparations for Uchiha survival. King had previously forced Madara to use Susanoo during a confrontation. 259 277 279 281
• Uchiha Setsuna — Elder Uchiha who reveres Madara as a legendary ancestor and is overwhelmed upon seeing him alive. Natsu later sends Setsuna to retrieve serum to strengthen Madara’s Rinnegan foundation. 274 306 513
• Uchiha Fugaku — A clan leader whom Madara praises for leading the endangered Uchiha to safety and establishing them in the seas. Fugaku later worries about Madara’s chakra exhaustion during his battle with Imu. 307 509
• Uchiha Sasuke — A younger clansman whom Madara regards as promising raw material requiring repeated refinement. Madara compares his temperament to Izuna’s youth. 329
• Uchiha Chunwu — A younger clansman whom Madara encourages after the battle against Drought Jack, telling him that the result matters most. 337
• Uchiha Kei — A promising Susanoo user. Madara acknowledges Kei’s potential but refuses his assistance against Kaido. 337 340
• Kaido — A Four Emperor whom Madara initially underestimates, then comes to respect as a worthy opponent before defeating him with Complete Susanoo. 342 344 345
• Kizaru — Marine admiral who witnessed Madara’s battle against Kaido and fled after Madara’s victory. At Sabaody, Kizaru remains deeply wary of Madara but is defeated and sent flying by Madara’s Haki-enhanced strike. 344 345 462 467
• Akainu — Marine admiral and leading opponent during the Sabaody confrontation. Madara rejects Akainu’s concept of Absolute Justice, blocks his magma attacks, and severely injures him with a single Armament Haki-enhanced punch. 460 462 467
• Monkey D. Garp — The Marine hero whom Madara initially hopes to find at Sabaody because Natsu compares his strength to Hashirama’s. Garp arrives after the Marine formation’s defeat and engages Madara in a destructive duel, earning his excitement and respect. Madara later outmaneuvers and injures him. 459 460 478 480 493
• Saint Jaygarcia Saturn — A Five Elder who joins the Sabaody battle. Madara first beheads him, but Saturn’s contract restores him. Madara later suppresses that resurrection with Takamimusubi’s Yin–Yang resonance and crushes him; Natsu burns away his remains. 484 494
• Imu — The hidden ruler of the World Government and Madara’s opponent following Saturn’s death. Their prolonged clash pushes Madara to the limits of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and precedes his Rinnegan awakening. Imu’s complete demon form, true body, and increasing power from broken sealing chains subsequently force Madara to use rule suppression and Six Paths Sage Mode. 499 505 509 512 513 550 571 574 576
• The Marines — Madara regards the Marine high command as hostile schemers after their attempted ambush of young Uchiha fighters. He delivers an ultimatum that future persecution or covert attacks against the clan will bring direct retaliation, then defeats their Sabaody force. 458 459 460 469 470
• The world’s will — A later opponent in the expanded confrontation. Madara remains at Natsu’s side in Six Paths Sage Mode and expresses confidence that he can handle its thousand-plus manifested demons. 585

Story Role / Major Arcs

Konoha and the Parallel-World Revelation

Madara meets Natsu’s group in Konoha, questions their connection to Flame Ninja Village, and learns of a parallel timeline in which the Uchiha Clan is exterminated. The revelation causes him to reconsider his life, Konoha’s future, and the limits of Hashirama’s ideal of peace. 257 263 266

Madara later learns that Black Zetsu falsified the Six Paths Stone Tablet and manipulated his Infinite Tsukuyomi ambition. This revelation leaves him devastated, forcing him to confront the possibility that his lifelong path, sacrifices, and ideals were built upon deception. 271

Flame Ninja Village and Origin Island

Madara accompanies Natsu to Flame Ninja Village, meets Uchiha King, and ultimately chooses to leave Konoha. After becoming Origin Island’s Honorary Elder, he reunites with the resurrected Izuna and witnesses an Uchiha society where children are no longer forced into war at a young age. 274 288 293 308

During this transition, Natsu grants him the family’s unlocked traits, strengthening his body and bloodline. Natsu uses an ancient White Zetsu as the vessel for Izuna’s Impure World Reincarnation, and Madara’s normally impenetrable composure collapses when the brothers reunite. 287 292 293

The Light of Susanoo subsequently advances his ocular transformation. Madara initially estimates that completing it will take two to three years if he avoids frequent use of Complete Susanoo. Natsu encourages steady cultivation, emphasizing that Izuna is waiting for his brother to restore him to full life rather than for Madara to rush into further battles. 322 323

New World Expedition

When Kaido’s retaliation threatens Coral Port, Madara volunteers to enter the New World in place of Natsu. He leads the Night Owl Guard through a storm, orders the younger generation away from the battlefield, and confronts Kaido alone. 332 336 337

Battle of Coral Port

Madara battles Kaido through ninjutsu and Susanoo, adapting after Kaido destroys his Semi-Complete Susanoo blade. He then unveils Complete Susanoo, defeats Kaido with a Heavenfall Slash, destroys the Beasts Pirates fleet, and frightens Kizaru into fleeing. The victory shocks the Marines, the Five Elders, and the wider world. 339 343 344 345 349

Upon returning to Origin Island, he reassures Izuna through his unharmed arrival and tells him to address the restrictions of his Reanimation body before attempting his own battles abroad. Natsu privately recognizes that he had also used Madara’s clash with Kaido to try to provoke Imu into revealing Uranus, though Imu had declined to act. 353

West Blue Reflections

During his recovery, Madara observes the prosperity and security produced by the Uchiha Clan’s harsh governance of West Blue. He contrasts the region’s tangible peace with the corruption and superficial order of the World Government-controlled seas, reaffirming his belief that real order is created through decisive strength. 439

His reflections follow a period of solitary travel intended partly to clear his mind after the revelations about his original ambitions. In East Blue, he finds genuine beauty in the ordinary tranquility of a coastal village, but ultimately regards the broader world’s peace as fragile and compromised compared with the transformation of Uchiha-controlled West Blue. 387 438

Sabaody Archipelago Confrontation

At Natsu’s command, Madara travels to Sabaody Archipelago to warn the Marine high command against future plots against the Uchiha Clan. He initially seeks Garp, whose reputation Natsu compared to Hashirama’s, but instead confronts Akainu, Kizaru, vice admirals, and a force of tens of thousands of Marines. 452 458 459

After declaring that the Marines are unworthy of a formal declaration of war, Madara fights their entire Sabaody force alone. He uses Sharingan prediction, Haki, chakra barriers, basic Five Elements ninjutsu, taijutsu, and skeletal Susanoo to overwhelm the Marine army, defeat Kizaru and Akainu, and reduce the remaining forces to despair while still withholding his strongest abilities. A final skeletal-arm attack destroys their organized defenses. 461 462 463 465 467 468 469

Madara reiterates his warning to the defeated Marines, then manifests a Fourth-Form Susanoo and prepares a finishing strike. Garp’s arrival interrupts him and leads to a far more destructive duel. Reinforcements from Mary Geoise—including Saturn, God’s Knights, and CP0—turn the confrontation into a wider battle as Sabaody’s landmass fractures and floods. 470 471 478 480

Madara withstands Garp’s Haki-enhanced attacks while countering interference from Saturn and the God’s Knights. He briefly beheads Saturn, who revives through his contract. Later, Madara unveils Takamimusubi, raises a Susanoo more than a thousand meters tall, suppresses Saturn’s resurrection, and crushes him. Natsu burns the remains. 484 493 494

Battle Against Imu and Rinnegan Awakening

Imu challenges Madara above the ruined archipelago. Madara meets Imu’s dark sword with his empowered Susanoo and presses into the ruler’s domain. Their close-range battle cracks Susanoo’s armor and devastates the defenses below; although Madara continually repairs the construct and counters Imu’s attacks, the prolonged exertion drains his chakra. 499 500 503 504 505 506 509

When Imu’s assault appears to overwhelm him, Madara awakens the Rinnegan and uses Shinra Tensei to scatter the attack. Natsu orders the waiting Uchiha forces to hold position until Madara stabilizes his power and defeats Imu, while sending Setsuna for serum to strengthen his new foundation. Madara then reforms his Susanoo, declares himself a new god, and summons a vast meteor over Sabaody. 512 513 514

His evolved eyes are later identified as Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, a form they have maintained since Tengai Shinsei descended. Madara withstands Imu’s twenty-weapon assault, releases Super Shinra Tensei, and follows with Chibaku Tensei. Imu eventually tears free of the rocky prison in his complete demon form, but Madara suppresses him with Kotoamatsukami and immobilizes him with Musu Prison: Binding Rule. He prepares an island-destroying twin-sword strike as an unfamiliar ancient power begins eroding the restraints. 535 536 550

When Imu directs the Uranus Scepter at him, Madara refuses to retreat and reinforces Complete Susanoo. Later, he pauses his own attacks while the Night Owl Guard and elders surround the remaining God’s Knights, judging that the clan’s fighters must demonstrate their ability to handle opponents without relying entirely on him and Natsu. 551 563

Imu’s True Form and Six Paths Sage Mode

Imu’s true body confronts Madara with weapons capable of damaging Susanoo’s chakra structure. The Void Sword erases part of the construct and leaves a wound that does not heal. Madara discovers that Kotoamatsukami cannot suppress this form as completely as before because Imu’s power is tied to the seas’ rules, and shifts back to direct combat. Their exchanges reach a stalemate before Imu turns his attention beneath Mary Geoise. 569 571 572

As Imu breaks sealing chains and uses the escaping power to devour Devil Fruit users and strengthen himself further, Madara enters Six Paths Sage Mode. His hair turns white, ten Truth-Seeking Orbs manifest, and his power rises sharply, though he recognizes that the new form is unstable and cannot be maintained indefinitely. 574

Madara then reshapes a Truth-Seeking Orb into the Six Paths Staff and abandons Susanoo’s broad attacks in favor of concentrated close combat. His increased speed and precise strikes break down Imu’s weapon array, force him backward, and slow the destruction of the fourth chain. A later staff technique suppresses the black mist beneath Imu and briefly checks his growing strength. 576 579

Joint Battle with Natsu and the World’s Will

Natsu returns after completely sealing Uranus in outer space and congratulates Madara on awakening the Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, confirming that Izuna’s full restoration is approaching. The two then cooperate to stop Imu’s twisted figures from breaking the sixth chain. Their defense consumes their strength, and Natsu takes a deep wound to his left shoulder while protecting Madara. Despite their efforts, a crack begins forming in the chain. 580 581

By the confrontation with the world’s will, Madara remains in Six Paths Sage Mode with his staff raised and ten Truth-Seeking Orbs rotating at its tip. When Natsu asks whether he can handle the thousand-plus manifested demons arranged in the pentagram formation, Madara answers confidently as Natsu prepares to use Takamagahara. 585
