There was never the slightest sign of Madara being manipulated until the retcon erm... "plottwist" came out of nowhere.

At least with Zeref it has long been established that the curse is playing havok with his brain, so there is a chance that Ankhseram is a manical manipulator behing the curtains... thought I doubt it. But it would still be far better than Kaguya appearing literally out of nowhere all of a sudden.

I mean really... we have this super-powerful guy who had entire nations unknowingly dancing to his tune and when a black thing just steps up and says "Yo dude, I am the manifestation of your will!" mister super genius just goes "Hey, cool bro!" and accepts it?

Yeah..... riiiiiiiiiiight........
