We will now discuss Naruto is a spoilery manner.

Madara trying to act like Aizen.

So he's doing what he's been doing from the very beginning?

Swallow the explosion that was supposed to destroy him when he swallowed it?

I'm reasonably certain that makes no sense whatsoever.

[Arcanum]

Instead of the the tags blowing up and killing them both (before or after they entered Madara's dimension, doesn't matter) Madara teleported the tags/explosion to his dimension which he immediately left, though he wasn't fast enough to leave before the explosion hit him, hence losing an arm.

[IHateMakingNames]

The explosion was to hit him when he was sucking in the paper girl, while he wasn't physically transparent. Instead he sucked in most of the explosion, so they were only hit by a little bit of explosion.

Just to clearify, everyone does know explosions dont work like that right?

[krogothwolf]

These are magical chakra explosions! they can do anything!

Now if only he'd actually said something like that.

My knowledge of the inner workings of, uh, thermodynamics(?) is poor. Enlighten Me?

I THINK he's referring to the fact that explosions damage things in 2 main ways:

1. Concussive force.
2. Burns.

Neither of which really explains Madara's disarming. If it had enough heat to melt his arm clean off, being that close to it would have covered his body with burns & killed him. If the force just blew his arm off, then it would have crushed his organs &, you guessed it, killed him.

a few things, most glaring is while using physics warping powers you could suck in all that energy. But that shouldn't help because the focal point is his eye. Its coming from all directions, so that energy would have to go through him to get to it. Maybe the act of absorbing it negates the damage, but then the parts of him that are furthest away would be damaged (his legs) no his arm and especially not his right arm.

Could be that what was closest to the absorption point was what would be the most damaged since, as I said it would have to pass through, then he'd be missing his face or something.

Atleast when Kakashi did it you could hand wave it since the focal point of the absorption isnt point blank from him, nor was the explosion coming in at all sides

Depends on how much of the area around him actually turns into black hole.

What doesn't make sense to me is how he countered it by doing exactly what Konan wanted him to do.
