How can he not say the same thing if he used the same words? 

Context matters.. Minato told Obito to take care of Naruto when his life depended on him, it was a dire situation. He told Sakura to take care of Naruto when she was healing him to restore his chakra(I think it had a double meaning). If I might add, that Minato just found out Sakura's role in Naruto's life, and it is obvious he told them to take care of him in different ways.

I wonder what other bad excuses NH fans use (or have used) to this day.

Let's please not go there. This doesn't need to turn into a 'discussion' of the NH fandom, those never end well.

How can he not say the same thing if he used the same words? 

 

There are loads of examples when sentences can contain the exact same words but, depending upon punctuation (or lack thereof) or the intended use of a particular word, can have totally different meanings.

 

When grammar is the problem:

 

Let's eat grandma.

Let's eat, grandma.

 

Idiomatic expressions:

 

I'm going to hang my head in shame.

That will be your chance to swing into action.

 

When ambiguity is the problem:

 

The hostess had a punch that was quite strong.

The boy teased the dog with a stick.

 

 

I understand the English language pretty well, but I don't know much of anything about Japanese.  However, from what I do understand, sometimes there is no exact one-to-one translation of words, expressions, or meanings.  

 

Likewise, ambiguity is a purposeful part of language in Japanese society and it plays a different role than it does in English.  I would think, then, that sentences could often use the same words but hold several meanings, depending on the relationship of the speakers and the context.

 

@KnS: For the record, he didn't have any involvement with movie 1. 

 

Thanks for the clarification.  I went back and edited my post of the movie listing.  The "story by" credit for Kishimoto on the first movie must have simply been as creator of the characters, and it was mistranslated.

 

Your information actually makes my point even stronger -- that Kishimoto has no involvement with any of the movies other than RtN, and none are canon.

@KnS: You're welcome.

That's why millions of fans were hell bent on RtN, including some of us. Now, while some already kept the same opinion of not taking it as a consideration, they all want to pretend they always thought it was non-canon. It's not canon but they said so in the first place. It's one of those moments where you got to force yourself to hate it with a unreasonable reason (ex: I hate 663 because I do).

Minato will surely have something related to Kushina or else Tobirama can come up with some alternative method since it is his jutsu

Why would Edo Minato have any part of Kushina's body on his person?

Because he loves her. Lol.

I'll say complicated. Perhaps it could be the same status as avatar book 3 chapter 17. It's confusing but they need to think over, when they have a chance.

That sounds like some creepy kitten out of Dexter. 

[TyranntX]

okay lets move on to something less creepy.
