Why did tobi want shisui's sharingan?

[Brutus]

During and after Sasuke's fight with Danzo, tobi stated that he wanted to obtain shisui's mangekyo sharingan (which was inside danzo). Why would he want to do this, despite the fact that he has a large supply of sharingans in his laboratory? Unless Tobi is related to shisui and he could get ems from shisui's eye, i don't see any reason that tobi would be so upset over a single sharingan being destroyed.

 

[-Logic-]

Kotoamatsukami brah, KOTOAMATSUKAMI.

 

[The Demonic Kazekage]

because Shisui's sharingan had a very powerful abilty

 

[Safater]

i think we could say they're best uchiha eyes

and could use koto amatsukami every 10 years

 

[Yo pappy]

Gee, I wonder.

I think to use Kotoamatsukami on naruto to get the nine tails easier

He likes to stock up on powerful eyes

Because Tobi is Shisui, think about it.

He got abused and mad at the whole Shinobi world while working under Danzou (who took his eye)

Then he fooled Itachi by giving him his last eye "to protect the village" so he could dissapear quietly. "Shisui's corpse has apparently disappeared, as Kabuto Yakushi cannot locate it" (Narutopedia)

Tobi is obsessed with eyes, he has got a big collection.. Seems logic after losing both your eyes and wander in the darkness while searching for new ones

Moon eye's plan is genjutsu, Shisui was considered a really talented in genjutsu.

So in my theorie he just wanted his own eye back because he knew best how great KA really was

 

[Bogard]

There aren't any major holes (yet) in the Tobi=Shisui theory, but I still think it's unlikely:
-Shisui wanted itachi to protect konoha, even though Danzo had attacked him
-He's too young to have those wrinkles on tobi's face
-Itachi seems to hat tobi, but he loved shisui like a brother; also, he knows tobi's identity since he wanted amaterasu to go off when it saw tobi's face was revealed

But i think there is a connection between Kagami, Shisui and Tobi (and possibly obito)
If Shisui and Obito were brothers, and Tobi is using Obito's body/ is Obito, then he could potentially obtain EMS from shisui's eye. But this is highly unlikely, I guess...

Tobi is not shisui think of the hair length when shisui was talking to itachi and then when tobi was talking to itachi. Tob=shisui is the dumbest thing I have ever heard
