Is that kind of symbolism that he died inside at that age, or something like Obito is most content with himself at that form or did Kishi re-think this whole thing and realize that it was kind of pedo-y to draw adult Obito next to 13 year old Rin? I surely hope Kishi recognizes that he kind of overdid the whole Rin stuff and took away from the great character that Obito was.

Sounds like what George Lucas did with Anakin Skywalker, after he became a force ghost.

I don't know but it feels right for some reason I guess its because obito only really existed again for a few minutes during the ninja war the rest was tobi so 13 year old obito was still obito not tobi

it symbolizes that he died as the obito who wanted to become hokage before he was corrupted and became obito-madara or tobi
you know the one naruto said was nothing but awesome or the shitty translation where he calls him the coolest guy
"he's not lost anymore"

1- To match Rin's age
2- To emphatize he was the once good guy again

well 13 to 17 is legal but tobi is like 23 so its pedo

Maybe Obito could have been one of those case's where his mind is tougher than his body (chronologically younger), in which case he might not be pedo ... Interesting thing about 13 is legal though.... (Folding hands Mr.Burns like)

To avoid the awkward Pedo-Scene between a 40 years old Man and a 13 years old innocent girl

I never really understand what obitos obsession with rin was. talk about living a sheltered life being in love with your first childhood crush your whole life.... def a pedophile he never even saw what she looked like as an adult. so basically the only memories of her in his spank bank was that of a 13 year old
