It may be immediate. Immediately means quickly. Quickly is different from instantly. Just adding.

You're going to need to watch the anime again, I forgot the episode number but if you go to the full fight of Konan vs obito and skip to Konan opening up her sea of paper bombs, you'll see obito tried to faze away, Konan says something along the lines of "I won't let you", paper bombs stick to him, obito is surprised and uses kumai intangibility to let the paper pass. When a kumai user is trying to warp their entire body into kumai their body becomes tangible until they completely warp. Before responding, do have a look at that scene again, you'll see the flaws in it.

I saw that and that part never happened in the manga.
That's why I don't like watching the anime because they add in fillers.

Obito even admitted it right here that he had to shift to avoid the tags and not teleport:

No, immediate means instant.

im·me·di·ate
iˈmēdēət/
adjective
1.
occurring or done at once; instant.
"the authorities took no immediate action"
synonyms: instant, instantaneous, swift, prompt, fast, speedy, rapid, brisk, quick, expeditious; More

kamui isn't fast enough to warp minato in, so it's not FTG/ameno level speed and obito can't use kamui for more than 5 minuts

It is fast enough, minato is just fast enough to escape.
Instant can't beat instant, so it's up to the user to strike first to succeed.

Databook has the final say in this, it is instant.

No, immediate means instant.

Literal meaning aside, it's usage in the sentence implies "quickly". "Instant" was written to show the vastness of English vocabulary. Words in English language have a lot of synonyms with different literal meanings but with close implications, just like this word. The example you gave is perfect for explaining this. "The authorities took to immediate action". What it more suitable to replace "immediate"? "Quick" or "instant"?

That's what you assume it implies, but in actuality it is not.
Syn's are the closest thing to the actual definition but not exact, so I'll give you that.
However that's not the case here.

Here is the real definition:

occurring or done at once; instant.
"the authorities took no immediate action"

And no, quickly does not suit the sentence, instantly or instantaneously does.

That's the general implication. Plus, you're only looking at one dictionary definition of your choice. How can you judge the entire usage and context which is so vast just by looking at one definition and no elaboration?

And BTW, "The authorities took no instant action", sounds lame. And over here, "instant" can be used, but the implication and context will be "quick" only, not "in the blink of an eye". This isn't about speed of something.

are you saying that if sasuke or minato teleport to obito, he will be able to kamui into his dimension in time? because he won't

kamuing his body parts is instant but kamuing his whole body into the other dimension is not

/Post

That's what my thread was about.

And he can

It's funny because that's the response you should be asking yourself.
You're arguing my support on a literal context on your figurative interpretation.
I'm defining the meaning with primary definition, I honestly fail to see you're argument here. It's typed here on paper.
Just because you see it in a different way doesn't mean the text lose any meaning to what it actually is .
It's been elaborated since the last databook throughout the series. Look up what is states in the last databook.
And BTW, "The authorities took no instant action", sounds lame. And over here, "instant" can be used, but the implication and context will be "quick" only, not "in the blink of an eye". This isn't about speed of something.

Stated where?
