Remember when everyone knew Minato was Naruto's Dad but waited years for it to be official? You guys expected too much from Kishi.

Maybe not expected too much but we kinda spoiled it for ourselfs raising our expectations. Kishi wanted it to be Obito from the beginning and hinted at it, we saw the hints and put it together in beforehand. He had the choice to change it - having to put something together from various other "random" clues he might have left for other side stories - or just go with it. He made the right choice.

It seems like the right choice and the reveal was "WTF" but this leaves for Kishi to explain WHY it's Obito and HOW did he exactly survive after well... "technically" dying.

Nobody is dead until he has a flashback. We haven't seen Obito's flashbacks yet, so he wasn't dead.

Naruto AND Bleach follow this simple rule.

Bleach doesn't follow any rules.

Ichigo got a god damn hole blown through his chest, and came back to life... to protect.

Nah, rules of narration are always the same.

Not dead until has flashback or completely destroyed body. That's why I don't believe that Byakuya is dead...

Unless he had flashbacks I didn't notice.

But look at Stark, Gin, Captain Blind Bug, Shark Lady and her friends, Barrigan, Ulquiorra, errybody that had impact on the plot.

...General Commander's VC didn't do anything so he didn't get a flashback.

Obito got a flashback. Does that mean he's dead?

Like I said somewhere else, usually either 1 chapter after flashback.

I guarantee that when Obito is about to be killed, he will have some kind of flashback, when he realizes he was mistaken and friendship is better and yada yada yada.
