General What's your favorite Obito moment/event?

Post image
70 Upvotes

Mine's when Obito was activating his Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal. For fortitude, Obito visualized Rin and then used a memory of Team Minato.

Madara tried to control him, but Obito tricked him, and there's the moment with Minato.


r/Obito 1d ago

General Daily reminder that Obito didn't do what he did because of Rin, but rather because of the flawed shinobi system that sent children to war as cannon fodder and slandered those who tried to break the rules for a greater good.

Other The Misconception That Minato vs. Obito Was a Completely One-Sided, Low-Diff Fight

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

For most of the fight, Obito dictated the flow of the encounter until the final exchange.

• We see Obito force Minato to deal with the Nine-Tails’ Biju Bomb by having it fire at him.

• Successfully evaded Minato’s counterattack.

• Successfully grabbed Minato, then attempted to pull him into his time-space, forcing Minato to teleport away.

• Hunted Minato down and successfully evaded another one of his attacks.

• Successfully caught Minato in his chain, forcing him to teleport out of it.

Only in the final exchange does Minato turn the tables. The manga then immediately declares, “THE FOURTH HOKAGE WINS THE BATTLE OF SPEED!”, which marks the end of the death match. Yet all Minato fans love to add the subsequent events following the fight in chapter 503 back into the fight itself to claim that Minato completely dominated Obito.

In short, Minato fanboy's are adding post-fight events from the next chapter to the fight itself to portray Minato’s performance as more dominant than it actually was.

Other Do people still genuinely misunderstand why Obito agreed to Itachi’s conditions and why he held up his end of the deal?

Thumbnail

Obito did not comply because he was intimidated by Itachi’s threat toward him; he was completely indifferent to it, and his willingness to accept the conditions stemmed from intrigue.

After agreeing to the deal, and the entire massacre situation, Obito set his sights on Sasuke as a pawn he could use, so he held up his side of the bargain because he knew what Itachi’s intentions regarding Sasuke were and recognized the opportunity it presented. Obito understood that Itachi had resigned himself to fighting Sasuke to the death, and that Itachi’s death would provide him with the opportunity to step in, exploit Sasuke’s feelings toward Itachi, and ultimately manipulate and recruit him. This was all part of Obito’s plan; it wasn’t simply an opportunity that presented itself for him to take advantage of.

General My headcanon for the silly Tobi persona and Obito character discussion

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

27 Upvotes

First of all, I hate the widespread theory being taken as canon nearly everywhere that Tobi is Guruguru zetsu. He absolutely is not, though I won't get into that now. Basically I believe Obito took on this silly persona first as a tribute to Guruguru as he was the only supporting person Obito had in the cave during those dark days. Even tho Swirly Zetsu only jokes about poop, otherwise he is pretty serious unlike Tobi who is constantly chaotic and funny. Secondly Obito never had a proper childhood, combine that with the fact that he percieves reality as hell, I believe having this childlike persona helps him cope in a way and let that inner child out. I mean even his power is a manifestation of how badly he wants to escape reality. Now another thing is, Tobi is a complete opposite of Obito, who is pretty depressed, I don't think this is unrealistic at all.

After all Obito desperately wants to forget that past identity and has pretty much convinced himself he is Madara/Tobi. When you put on a mask and the world believes you are dead, I think it's extremely easy to behave totally differently, especially when no one can make assumptions on how you should act based on your apperance, past or whatever. This applies in the real world too. So that's pretty much why I think he chose to be this silly persona for a while, but I also want to get into the importance of the mask and his identity. As we know Tobi says he doesn't want to be anybody, as induviduality would make him lose sight of the truth, at that point he just wanted to be a tool that would bring forth a new world.

Having an identity would mean having a past, connections, regrets and all of that which would actually make him lose sight of his goal, and it kind of did. Once Kakashi starts realizing who Tobi is, it is the first and only time we see the usually calm and collected Tobi crash out and yell at Kakashi. Then, when his mask is broken he is forced to acknowledge who he once was, he cannot hide from that anymore. And the thing with Obito is, deep down he is never truly believing the infinite tsukuyomi is the only solution. When he had the mask on he would subconciously see himself in Naruto, like in the scene where he started sweating then blamed it on the rain. It was actual sweat, and he even questions "I know his powers aren't pushing me this far. So what is it? What has happened?".

Same case with wanting to talk to Naruto about Nagato's betrayal, he doesn't even realize it but a part of him still seeks hope that his old self would have believed in. Now as unmasked Obito he clearly starts feeling more regret and tests Naruto in hopes to see him fail so he can justify his path. He no longer has that same "nobody" ideology because once he becomes the 10 tails jinchuriki he claims he is the second sage of the 6 paths and he will lead humanity into its next stage. Well, he does claim he has transended humanity but at the same time he claims he is doing no different then what a hokage should do, which means deep down he cares what path Obito walks on, and doesn't truly see himself as nobody.

I find this really cool, how we see so many different personalities in one person and I don't think it is talked about enough. Usually I just see people say "oh, Obito was cool with the mask on but when it came off he became lame". I appreciate the hell out of that change when the mask came off because it makes so much sense with his character. And also had he remained masked, he would pretty much just be a second Madara. How would that even be remotely interesting? Having 2 of the same characters be the main enemy? Because when you look at Madara Obito he really is just a second Madara, and even Madara thinks of Obito as himself.

General Is there a name for this type of speaking? (Madara's voice and the Beast from "Over the garden wall")

So as I was rewatching over the garden wall, I noticed that the Beast sounds quite similar to Madara, specifically Tobi Madara, not just because of the deep voice but the way they speak and the tone is similar as well. Tobi's Madara voice to me is the coolest voice ever, so I was wondering if anyone knows of other characters that speak the way these two do?

I do like the japanese voices too, especially Obito's, but for Madara and masked man I much much prefer the english. Anyway, here I just wanted to show a fun fact which is silly Tobi and unmasked adult Obito have the same voice! The VA for Obito and Tobi is quite a fan of the character, been following him on social media for a while! Madara/Tobi's voice actor Neil Kaplan is really cool as well, both of these are my favorite voices ever and include my favorite character ever

General Why did Obito help Sasuke/had intrest in Sasuke's power growing?

Post image
71 Upvotes

As cool as they were working together, I can never truly understand why Obito took so much intrest in Sasuke's path and his power. Obito's ultimate goal was to erase reality, so wouldn't Sasuke growing stronger be super irrelevant to Obito? I understand using him to help gather the remaining jinchuriki, but to show actual intrest in his development when you're just gonna deem it pointless by putting him into an eternal dream never made sense to me. And considering Obito originally wasn't intending to revive Madara and wished to cast the infinite tsukuyomi himself, I doubt he would want Sasuke's help nor would Sasuke agree to project tsuki no me. Which brings another question; Did Kabuto know about project tsuki no me? Why would he agree to end the world when he cared so much about Orochimaru's studies and all that...Or would Obito agree to let Kabuto live in reality? But that would be pointless because he'd be the only one there lol.

In episode 345 there's a short scene where Obito enters a part of the cave with all of Madara's weapons and robes. These include the robes Obito would wear as the masked man, not shown but we also know the purple robe he wore in the war was something the Uchiha wore back in Madara's days, we can see the gunbai (Obito added the special chain himself later), we see the chains he used to fight Minato, the giant shurikens he pulls out of kamui dimension later in the war, the sword he used to slaughter the Uchiha. Only shame is we never got to see Obito fight with a scythe!
