I understand why Obito will be recorded in history as a villain. He committed too many crimes that could only be partially redeemed with his death. But what I do not agree on is the lack of weight given to his contribution in the end, when it was truly necessary.
There is a reason why I used Minato as an example, because he (like all shinobi) committed crimes, but their scale was different. Obito was the cause of thousands of deaths, Minato was the cause of hundreds. The scale of Obito's crimes are greater than anyone else'.
However, on the opposite side of the coin, the scale of Obito's contribution was also great.
Returning to my original post, Obito was a hero that lost his way (from Rin dying up until Naruto and Sasuke knocked the tailed beasts out of him) but in his LAST moments, he returned to the hero that he was meant to be. As opposed to looking at the length of time, I am looking at the impact that his heroics caused.
I ask anyone this. Was there any way for the characters to win the fight against Kaguya if Obito was not there? The same can be said for Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. All members that opposed Kaguya and lead to her defeat can be considered a hero, regardless of how long their heroics lasted.
what do you think?
