Black Zetsu and Obito Symbolism : Coward or Brave heart ?

[ROHAN]

So, I noticed this symbolism in the manga and I wanted to share it with you guys.

Here, we see two people, Obito and Black Zetsu. In either situation, one is in complete control over the other. Yet, they represent two completely different personalities in real life.

Black Zetsu in control :-

Black Zetsu stabs Madara in the back catching him completely off-guard.

Just, like Black Zetsu, A Coward will always stab his enemies in the back. He will never have the guts to stand up aganist his enemies.

Obito in control :-

Obito stabs Madara right in front of his face suprising him.

Just like Obito, A Brave heart will always stab his enemies in front of thier faces. They will always have the courage to face thier enemies.

So, in the end, I have a question for you all :-

Do you stab people in the back like Black Zetsu, A Coward ?

OR

Do you stab people in front of thier faces like Obito, A Brave heart ?

 

[The Necromancer]

Or perhaps they represent logic and foolishness.

Attacking someone from the front who could easily decimate you any day of the week is retarded. Who accomplished more with that attack, Obito or BZ?

 

[Antichrist]

1- I don't like to stab anyone not from front nor back .

2- Obito stabbed Konan from behind :|

 

[Shadow Phantasm]

Attacking someone from behind isn't cowardice,it's simply being pragmatic and not allowing the person to retaliate.

Obito

Because not only did he stab him, he pulled out two chakra bijuu pieces without even getting damaged in return.

BZ used Obito's body to pierce him and Obito's powers to absorb that much chakra to revive kaguya.

Either way, it's a win win situation for Obito because his body is responsible for both accounts

 

[Trúth]

You just gave the him a nickname i want to hear even less than the "coolest guy"

A stab here means hurting someone, betraying someone, etc.

If you stab someone from the back, no matter how many benifits you get, you would still be showcasing yourself as a coward which ruins your image. Lol

When Obito stabbed Konan, he was pretty much brain washed, so that point is not concrete.

So every character who attacked someone from behind is a coward now?Being pragmatic in battle means lowering the risks for yourself and your comrades,if the enemy presents a blind spot or opening then you take it.

That point is true, but Kishi is using symbolism here to show that a coward does not have any guts to face someone.

 

[phantomlord22]

BZ lived long enough to learn that IF you're not afraid of a strong enemy then you're a fool...

he doesn't give a damn F about being a coward or whatever... he just want what he wants...

edit : I get your point and I agree, but that's BZ for you lol

 

[From the Dark Spire]

Ahahahhaah, Twis a very interesting question indeed... Glory, and adelation, is what drives the passion of men. It's symbol, the precious virtue we hang, on our mantles. The fame, it's mystical taste, so exquisite.... But you see, the world isn't always, just rainbows, and righteousness..... the beast, travel, through the night... Bravery, or Cowardice?... You cannot measure me by the simple bounds of choice, for all would fall at my feet.

I have the noblest of hearts so I choose the path of the Brave heart...... Run!
