Zetsu is a name the Naruto records hand to two linked beings rather than a single figure, splitting the profile into a pale half and a dark half. The catalogue keeps White Zetsu and Black Zetsu on separate pages, while related material reaches into the wider White Zetsu Army and the Zetsu-tied identity worn by Tobi.
The dossier presents this identity as two contrasting sides, sorted by colour into a white incarnation and a black one. Because each is documented on its own page, any close look at their forms lives under the separate White Zetsu and Black Zetsu entries rather than in a single shared description.
With the two halves catalogued apart, their temperaments are logged individually instead of as one shared disposition. The white side and the black side are treated as distinct characters, so their motives and manner are recorded under their own headings.
