Kabuto already said he couldn't get to Jiraiya because he was too deep in the ocean. No reason to lie about not having him when he had already revealed Madara and shit.

Chapter 520, page 14.

I hope he doesn't come back, so there is at least some fucking death, sacrifice, and consequences in this fucking story.

the only possible leak we have is that when naruto summoned gamabunta he got gamahi instead uz gamabunta was away doing something. (since he's a frog he might be swimming to retrieve dead jiraiya, why? who knows, it's naruto)

So is the frog bringing back his corpse for 90% rezz or is he only FD? I'm confused at this theory.

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th were supposed to be dead for good, and impossible to edo-tensei from what someone said in a line before too. They changed that real quick. :p It's still possible.

Too many things would need to conveniently happen for Jiraiya to come back. Gamabunta would need to have gone on a secret recovery mission, Kabuto would need to break out of his eternal genjutsu prison, Gamabunta wouldfor some reasondecide to side with Kabuto (??) not to mention he'd need to find his hiding spot the first place. The entire notion makes zero sense. It would lessen Jiraiya's character and the story as a whole. I hope you don't seriously want to see him come back.

orichimaru is alive (by some scroll, previous chakra, wtf) he can just edo tensei his best friend. also the second invented edo tensei

i don't want jiraya back... but they have literally brought back EVERYONE with fcking edo tensei.

he probably wouldn't be effective, he needs the frog couple to do sage mode, unless you're allowed to bond with a corpse to get senju chakra

He's going to come back at the penultimate moment and call a time out in the fight between kakashi and toby asking them to kiss and make up and be buds just like the old days.

And yet again I bring back up the way the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th returned. Conveniently there happens to be this shack out in the woods with masks for every death god, and conveniently if you wear said mask you can reverse it so where people who once sacrificed their souls to seal someone can then come back via edo tensei, oh and Orochimaru wouldfor some reasonhave to practically turn heel again into a good guy to help out the Ninja Alliance, etc, etc, etc.

I'm not saying I want Jiraiya to come back, i'm saying it's plausible if he did. It's a manga, it's easy as balls to rewrite something into making sense. Yes, it would lessen the story, but unless you just started reading Naruto, you should know that Kishimoto isn't exactly above doing that. As Tuco said just right above you, it's a fictional kids story. Anything can happen.
