Since my other thread sort of established that Obito side finitely admired Minato, and saw him as something of a father figure, how do you think Minato and Kushina viewed Obito? Do you think they, similarly, saw him as something of a son? Minato seems outright broken when he discovers that Obito was Tobi, but not in a "Damn, I done messed up" sort of way, but more like a father finding out his own son killed his wife, that's how he literally reacted, like Obi-Wan about to fight Anakin, that whole sadness, especially how, after slashing him he didn't even seem angered, if anything he seemed sad, and hurt.

Even as Obito berated him, he didn't show malice or rage towards him, just sadness that he failed to talk him out of it.

He even seems more like "Man, how could I not recognize Obito".

One of the OVAs for Revolutions seems to indicate that they did care deeply for him, particularly Kushina, who even wished for Naruto to be like him. So, do you think they viewed Obito as something of a surrogate son? Also, how do you think they reacted upon learning about the Battle of Kannabi Brodge, particularly Kushina?

They admired him, Kushina even said that she hopes If they had a son he would be like Obito, also Obito was Kushina's fav of Minato's three students. So i guess its fair to say that they deeply cared for him. Love ehh.

Not sure if it was love, but it's a given that they cared for him a lot. He was Kushina's favorite after all.

Minato not showing anger towards Obito about Obito killing him, his wife, and attacking the village shows to me Minato did love Obito.

So, when he tried to kill them, he was basically trying to kill his parents (the closest people he had to them, at least)?

Well, if you watch the OVA, she clearly states that he was her favorite out of Minato's students.

You should know that OVA's are neither canon nor are they even supervised/written by Kishimoto.

Pretty sure they said the videos for Revolution were canon and that Kishi assisted in writing them.

You are completely wrong. Nothing is canon unless it happens in the manga and I shouldn't have to the you that Kishi doesn't assist with the games. Just drawing the manga takes up most of his week, and he has a family after that.

Pretty sure he did, dude, after all, he worked on the entire Kakashi Anbu Arc, I'm pretty sure he assisted in writing the (short) stories for Revolution.

Actually, notice how even though Obito had fire techs and Mokuton, the only technique he used throughout the entire fight was Kamui. Remember, he was still struggling with his new world view, and he probably couldn't have handled being the one to kill Minato.

I actually think that Obito pulled off the Kyuubi Attack -Which made his plans harder, actually, and which wasn't ordered by Madara- because on some level he was hoping Minato could stop him.

I can tell you are wrong. But you have interested me, source for that info about helping with the Kakashi anbu filler arc?

Minato wanted him to become Hokage. About Kushina..in the "Far Reaches of Hope" OVA Obito is portrayed as Kushina's favourite apprentice from Minato's students.​

^^This completely

He was so gullible that it hurts not to love him. (Idk his relationship with kushina is canon though)

When he became evil, it was respect and fear among others.

Even Madara who made this evil persona didn't take him too lightly.
