At his current state, how could Madara possibly be defeated?

Any physical attack/Taijutsu would be easily deflected by either:

  * The Susano'o 
  * The Gunbai (war fan, which proved to easily negate a Bijuudama) 
  * Shinra Tensei (which wasn't seen yet, but we have to assume he's capable of it).

> And I'm not even starting to talk about the Rikudo mode.

Any non-physical attack would be easily absorbed by the Preta Rinnegan path.
There aren't ~~m~~ any ultra-powerful genjutsu ninja who can hope to trap him
in a genjutsu for more than 2 seconds. And in the offshoot that something does
hurt him, he'd just regenerate. He's a zombie.

What weakness does Madara have that could be exploited to harm him? They'd
have to damage him badly to hope for a seal.

What are Madara Uchiha's weaknesses?


They mentioned in the latest chapter that Madara is vulnerable to Taijutsu.
Also, as grasshopper said, his overconfidence causes him to drop your guard
when dealing with those he thinks are not able to harm him.

It does not seem like any of Madara's new abilities have a counter to sound
genjutsu, especially when boosted by Senjutsu / Sage mode. While sound
genjutsu and Senjutsu are both very rare, the manga has shown two examples of
different techniques of that type being effective against techniques that
Madara has recently gained.

The two Sage Toads' sound genjutsu is effective against the Rinnegan. When
Jiraiya had them use it in his battle with Pain, it was able to easily
overcome 3 paths of Pain.

Chapters 622 and 623 hint at a possible weakness of Madara Uchiha.

In Chapter 622, it has been shown that Madara has issues with [being too aware
of his surroundings, and being easily distracted or have an inability to focus
properly](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Wjgyn.png). He also has [issues with
pride](https://i.stack.imgur.com/fwcJz.png), that he carried on until his
adulthood.

In Chapter 623, the same possible weaknesses has been shown. [He even claimed
that he didn't have any weaknesses](https://i.stack.imgur.com/GuxX0.png).

I know this is not an answer (but couldn't stop writing this), but seeing the
question and recent chapter I believe Madara's weakness is:
