In the anime( _Episode 338_ , not sure though), I feel as if I saw an Uchiha
member use _Izanagi_ to revive a bunch of other Uchiha members. Is that even
possible?

Is it possible to use Izanagi on others?


> Q. Is that even possible?

~~No, Izanagi cannot be used/casted on others. It's a _genjutsu_ which is cast
upon themselves by the users. It is stated in the wiki page of
[Izanagi](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanagi).

After referring to [Happy](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/6064/1604)'s
answer, the answer is **Yes** , it is _possible_.

But then, as for your doubt regarding an Uchiha member saving/reviving many
other Uchiha members by using Izanagi, it is _Wrong_ and it is also mentioned
in the 3rd bullet point of the
[`Trivia`](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Izanagi) section of Izanagi (emphasis
mine).

In general, **YES** , Izanagi can be used on others. In Chapter 510, while
explaining the history of Izanagi to Konan, Tobi himself states that the Sage
of Six Paths used it to create things, such as the nine Bijuu.

_However_ , is it possible for a random filler flashback Uchiha to use Izanagi
on others? Probably not, because he did not have the Senju bloodline and is
certainly not comparable to the Sage of Six Paths.
