Nice find. +rep

I really hate how people say Kishimoto made Tobi Obito on a whim. I feel like he was always meant to be Obito, so it's nice to see people find some proof.

Kishi planned on making the mysterious Tobi Obito from day 1. The way he did it though made us think that Tobi was someone else

Tobi says that he understands how Sasuke feels about a "weirdo taking you in and saying strange things." He understands because Madara did the same thing to him in the most recent chapter.

Now that we've seen some flashbacks, it's cool how this convo mirrors the other.

Why do people think this is an awesome find? Its really basic, nothing special is uncovered.

cool find, but go a couple pages after this one and you could make a point of Kishi showing Tobi as Madara... :/ sorry, i just really don't see anything that obvious proving that Kishi meant for Tobi to be Obito from the start.


(and if i were a serious nitpicker i could also say that given how long ago the chapter you reference was released, Kishi could had made the current one mirroring the older)

Now you just have to watch out for the counter argument of what if Kishi wrote it in the last chapter only in reference to that conversation XD!! Anyways good find!!! and I agree that Obito deffinately makes the role of who Tobi was very dramatic in a story fashion, but it was just aggrivating that they had him practically listed as KIA...You'd think they would go and recover his body in order to properly bury it and not leave him in the rubble lol!

not really. in order to prove that sth was planned in a story you have to have at least two provenly interconnected values which will then be explained by a third and thus leading to the revelation or the third value is the revelation. there are no two specific and interconnected clues (let alone values) in the Naruto story pointing to Tobi's identity and then comes the third: the revelation, bringing everything together.

i don't mean to bash anyone and definitely not the person who made the thread, but it really doesn't seem planned. it looks more like Kishi had two options in mind for Tobi's identity and followed the one which proved more convenient, and would add greater drama to the story.
