How come Tobi only used mid range warping four times in the series?

1. To save Sasuke

4. And here you can see him focus his right eye mid range here second row middle panel to save Kakashi/Naruto

He could've used it a lot more in the series and save himself the headache of touching people. And it's not like everyone he fought were space-time ninjutsu users, he can still warp them without having the need of physical contact.

He wouldn't even have to go through two arms if he used it more often.

Wait, what shouldn't of happened?
Lol.
Becuase of plot.
It sucks that it's the only answer.

mid range kamui because Tobis kamui seems to be close range only and he needs to touch someone to warp them.

Oh on how the left eye is for intangible while the left is long range right?
The databook never went into details about that either of them. Like how kakashi can warp in and out of dimensions and he can also touch'n warp people like Tobi too.
The only thing I notice is that he remains touchable if he uses mid range kamui. He used a little bit of it here to combine with his katon:

He was able to keep the kamui spiralling for a few meters

True that. Maybe its slower for Tobi to use mid range kamui?

Yeah I think it is. Considering that BM naruto, Gai, and Kakashi had time to react.
I still think it's faster than Danzo's bodyguards though.

It would be slower for ninja who aren't on that level I suppose. Good thread.

Thanks man.
You think so? He was able to evade kcm naruto and Gai to cast it on gedo. Maybe I'm putting way too much thought than kishi is. Thanks for your input.

You most likely are lol but the thing about Kakashi his he's not the original user so his warp time can be slower unless he focuses more on speed. Something like the gedo is also huge so it can take more time for him especially when Tobi has senju cells.

"Plot" is the only reason, I guess.
Every character was restricted at any time by the plot. Which is why I didn't really like the manga after the Pain-Arc.
Not a single character used his/her power logically.

- Naruto was way faster than the Raikages, yet he didn't just use it to kill Obito and Madara when he had the best chances.
- Sasuke didn't burn blind Madara down with Amaterasu after the latter got rid of his armor
- Obito didn't destroy everyone when he was a Jinchuuriki, same goes for Madara
- Kakashi didn't just snipe heads off in the war
- and many many characters more
