@DeamonChocobo11 ай бұрын
@@rondoe7585 for Shisui it's because there was no DNA left. His body was destroyed in the Waterfall, his eye in Danzo's possession was destroyed with Danzo's Death, and the one given to Itachi was destroyed by Itachi after Kotoamatsukami was used on him. As for the rest of the Uchiha, I can think of a few reasons: 1) like Itachi there's a fear of that many Sharingans one of them breaking free and freeing the others; 2) Itachi & Tobi managed to kill all of them by themselves, what real use could they be outside of Slightly stronger fodder; 3) it's quite possible that Kabuto just didn't have access to DNA from those killed in the Massacre and Obito kept his Sharingan storehouse a secret from Kabuto because he truly did not trust him.

@@cmanrocket6 oh yeah, agreed it was very obvious it was obito. But for some reason a lot of modern writers are taught that if people are able to predict what you are going to do, AKA having good foreshadowing character design and directing, then you are predictable and ergo bad. So a lot of them feel the need to cover for their plot twist by either not foreshadowing at all and making it so it's just a Twist and nothing else, or they have to not address it when people get it right. But unfortunately not addressing certain theories makes it kind of obvious which one is true. So I honestly believe he panicked and said no even though he knew it was true because for some reason people believe good foreshadowing is bad. And because he had done good twists in the past, most people believed him on this which created this illusion that there was a bigger plot going on than the one that was being foreshadowed. I honestly kind of feel bad for the guy, but I also remember a lot of people just calling me an idiot for thinking it was Obito after Kishimoto said it wasn't.. so the eventual feel was kind of cathartic even if it did hurt the audience's Trust In what he was writing for a bit. For the record none of this is an insult to the writer or people's ability to figure out the puzzle, it just seems to be a byproduct of the current phase entertainment media is currently in.

Kisame didn’t even know it was obito he was only known him to be madara even kisame thought he was madara sun this was the pain arc. Before the pain arc tobi was just a dummy character.. no one took him seriously sure he was in the akatski but we assumed he’d be beaten up in the first fight he was in. The first fight we see him in is deidra and saskue and he don’t even take the lead in the fight he runs away. No one had no real indication he was obito. Besides the people who say “tobi and obito sound similar “ that’s not grounds enough to outright say well it’s him. There was never no proof. We didn’t get the flashbacks until after the fact. But since years have passed and it’s not the actual moment people pretending they knew. Really people trying to discredit kishimotos writing ability… and that he was so predictable yet when we was all growing up watching Naruto in real time we didn’t predict Jack we had to watch the story unfold. Now that people can just binge watch Naruto they love to say “oh this was so obvious “ keep in mind sometime there was months before a new episode or Managua chapter.

I'm one of those people, because it just made sense. Shisui the teleporter and Tobi's technique was teleporting through things. Even if they had the eyes connected with Kakashi I was still under the impression that Shisui could've recovered Obito's body and stole his eye, eventually awakening the Kamui we see Obito doing now. Another thing was the motivation. We knew who Obito was through the Kakashi Chronicles, but we only heard whispers of Shisui, giving plenty of room who the character could be and his motivations. Because Masashi Kishimoto would have to thoroughly convince me that Obito who put his friends first would just do a 180 like that and go against the ninja world like that. Giving us a motivation of why he would go against his teacher and everything. I'm still not convinced of his reasons, because Rin died?

It was very obvious, I read the manga back then as it released every week and I remember the community joking about Tobi being Obito because it was so obvious that no one actually believed that it was gonna be him. Everyone always thought there was going to be a clever twist or something of the sort once his identity was revealed. Once it was revealed that he was plain old Obito without any twists or extra revelations everyone was so disappointed lol

Before I saw the sharingan I thought he was Dan brought back with reanimation jutsu, looking back it was a pretty stupid idea but I liked the concept of tsunade being forced to choose between killing the love of her life, seeing him die for a 2nd time mind you, and preserving the thing her grandfather held so close.

When they were first talking about him, I actually thought he could be Madara because I wasn't reading the manga at the time and the Anime wasn't that far yet in America (this was near 20 years ago when I was in high school). So for the longest time, I actually thought it would have been Madara because I just had no other information about him at the time but my friend and I were able to piece it together by the time he showed up to Save Sasuke at the 5 Kage Summit.

Honestly this was debated for a long time. You can still find theory videos on KZfaq dated back to before 2010. The Obito reveal was so obvious that it had people theorizing it was too simple and it just HAD to be someone else. The most popular theories I remember were reanimated Obito, Izuna, Shisui, and the ramen guy. Obito was the least suspected because everyone assumed Kishi was a more mysterious writer back then and he would never pick the obvious choice.

This was so painfully obvious I can’t believe they even tried to hide it. 1. We never saw obito’s body. 2. Tobi has a right sharingan but not left. 3. Tobi is literally Obito backwards. 4. Kakashi and Tobi’s abilities look similar. 5. We never saw “Madara’s” face 6. The real Madara came back 7. We were shown their abilities were connected 8. They zoomed in on Tobi and Kakashi’s sharingan I mean was anyone actually genuinely surprised by this? I wish there were more twists that come out of nowhere like “I am your father.” Not ones with so much build up it makes it too obvious.

I didn't know, even though I watched every single episode of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Obito was a completely obscure character, and he only showed up in flashbacks in a handful of about 1000 episodes. Most of these guys claiming it was, "obvious," probably still didn't know who he was, even after the reveal.

I was on the forums when people were hotly debating this mystery and it was NOT as clear cut as you may think. Remember, we were under the impression that Obito was a very good person AND dead, like super dead. Many of us believed that it could be Obito's eye but we thought it was Black Zetsu using the eye. When he switched up his personality and declared himself Madara, it was easy to assume that was not a lie.

People dont get the point that you were supposed to think it was Obito, but then were made to think he was not because alot of what happened in the manga didnt add up if he actually was Obito.

Everyone who acts like it was very obvious Tobi and Obito were the same, didnt read the story beyond the surface
