I had enough with tobi=obito...
tobi not obito plotholes (not mine):

Plothole Number 1: Tobi’s Power Level (chapters 500-504).
There is no way Obito could turn into an alpha dog shinobi who mastered S/T phasing and teleportation within a 1-2 year time frame. At 15 years old? No way... There is also no way Obito would know how to extract the Kyuubi, hypnotize it, control it like a puppet, and then summon it wherever the hell he wants to. And all of this is supposed to have happened 1-2 years after Obito supposedly died? That’s just not feasible.

Plothole Number 2: Personality U-turn (chapter 241 page 19).
"Of course those in the ninja world who break the rules and regulations are called trash... but those who don’t care about their companions are even worse than trash." Will of Fire talk from Obito. It makes no sense for.
him to suddenly manifest this unwavering vendetta against Konoha unless Tobi is just using Obito’s body as a vessel, in which case, Tobi isn’t really Obito anyway because his soul and spirit have nothing to do with it.

Plothole Number 3: Kushina Quote (chapter 501 page 7).
"Do you have ANY idea how long I’ve waited for this moment?" It’s a complete contradiction for Obito to say something like that when, hypothetically, he wouldn’t have been alive long enough to make that type of comment because Obito would have been 15 years old if he fought Minato. Tobi has probably had to wait DECADES for the opportunity to extract the Kyuubi from its host.

Plothole Number 4: Kyuubi recognised Tobi (chapter 501 page 8).
The Kyuubi actually recognises Tobi and possibly knows who he is. If THAT doesn’t convince you, nothing will. The Kyuubi made a direct transfer from being sealed into Mito to being sealed into Kushina, so there is a fundamental contradiction for the Kyuubi to recognise anyone in the outside world when it was sealed for all that time. If the Kyuubi actually recognised Tobi, it means Tobi has to be someone who was alive during Hashirama/Madara’s generation.

Plothole Number 5: Tobi is too tall (chapter 503 page 9).
Tobi was shown to be adult sized when he fought Minato, chapter 503 page 5. But on page 9, Kakashi, Gai, Asuma and Kurenai are all shown to be much shorter as they are going through adolescence. Obito would have been around that size and is therefore too short to be Tobi.

Plothole Number 6: Minato would’ve figured it out (chapter 500-504).
If Tobi was really Obito, then Minato would have figured it out when they were fighting each other. Obito was Minato’s own student and would have recognised his chakra, but he didn’t.

Plothole Number 7: This is HIS doing (chapter 560 page 2).
"This is HIS doing." That means Madara knows exactly who Tobi is, but there is no way Madara could have worked with Obito because Madara had died already. We know this because by the time Nagato gets Madara's Rinnegan from Tobi, Madara is officially dead - "I awakened these eyes shortly before my death." (chapter 560 page 15). This is important because Nagato is older than Minato, and Minato is older than Obito.

Plothole Number 8: Hashirama Comparison (chapter 462 page 14).
Tobi says to Naruto "I can see the first Hokage in you." To make that type of comparison Tobi must have known what Hashirama was like as a person. Problem is, Hashirama was dead before Obito was born.

Plothole Number 9: During Our Battle (chapter 512 page 9).
"This is something I grew from living tissue I stole from him during our battle." Kabuto already revealed the Madara coffin so there was no reason for Tobi to keep lying. So if Tobi actually had a fight with Hashirama there is no way he could be Obito.

Plothole Number 10: Too Much Knowledge.
It is impossible for Obito to know so much about the bloody history between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan before Konoha was even established as a shinobi village. Tobi has to be someone from that generation. It is also impossible for Obito to know so much about Rikudou Sennin, his sons, the Bijuu and the Juubi.

THE BIGGEST PLOTHOLE OF THEM ALL.

Plothole Number 11: Nagato is much older than Obito.

Why is this important? Because Tobi GAVE Nagato the Rinnegan. In other words, it is impossible for Obito to have given kid Nagato the Rinnegan because Obito is much younger than Nagato.

rest in peace obito kun...

The base is no place for logic. :p


So, you're saying Kagami is nobody? :eek:


GTFO with your logic!

That, and I somehow find it difficult to imagine Fugaku being so complacent in both his sons fighting to the death.

Yes, he would probably know most, if not all, of Naruto's secrets. Despite the absurdity of this theory, it's looking more likely imo.
Haha, honestly, I can't tell by your response whether you're on my side, or trying to contest me...

I'll just go with the idea that you are using sarcasm to support my claims.

basically ALL OF THAT! thanks for taking the time and writing down those key elements. +rep from me!

it just seems too difficult (practically impossible) that Tobi and Obito are the same person given the facts presented so far in the story.

Ah, yes, I tend to forget that such posts might not read as sarcastic as they sound in my head.

Anyway, yeah, I agree with most of your claims, but I think you're think your too quick to dismiss Kagami. IMO, he's no less likely than the other unlikely candidates: Madara's speculative son or Setsuna. Speaking of which, was Setsuna even mentioned by name in the manga? I feel like that was an anime-only thing, in which case I'd rate him lower than Kagami. The fact that Kagami was given a name, and has no role whatsoever in the story is suspicious to me. He could've just been that unknown Uchiha from Sarutobi's squad and I would think nothing of it. I could see him having some twisted Root-esque views on the world, even more extreme than Danzo. And I don't like the Juubi theore, but I don't really know why. It just seems too weird or something.

About the Kagami theory, I just shoot it down because there was a phase where everyone was posting Kagami theories, and it got on my nerves so I wanted to prove it wrong. And the Madara's speculative son actually works better than Kagami, because IF in fact Madara did have a son, the timeline, motive, and looks would all line up, along with the fact that there is a direct connection between Madara's son (if he has one) and Madara. As to the Setsuna theory, I personally do not remember Setsuna being mentioned at all in the manga, which is why I steer clear from that theory and pretend it doesn't exist. If he hasn't been mentioned even once, it's pretty much 100% not going to be him.

Tobi is obito... Kishi is not the great "trickster" you make him out to be.. Most of the plots outcomes were dead giveaways
I'm sorry but you're wrong. Tobi is not Obito, that has been proven beyond a doubt.

I can't get it but my inner voice says: FUGAKU

after I saw a vid on youtube my strange theories could somehow fit:

Again, I think Sasuke's and Itachi's family have a bigger weight in all this plot than expected


just my 2 cents...

*facepalm* Excuse me, but do you not realize that tobi's timeline and obito's DO NOT MATCH?!!! Read what bush said. Obito is DEAD. When Tobi attacked konoha, All the shinobi that were obito's age were WAY shorter than tobi, because they were kids. when Tobi gave nagato the rinnegan, Obito was still in DIAPERS. :shikamaru: Do you people ever LISTEN?!!

There is one major problem with the Fugaku theory. When Itachi approached Tobi, he said that he knew that Tobi was sneaking into the Uchiha temple or whatever to view their sacred tablet. Keyword: sneaking. Fugaku was the HEAD of the Uchiha clan. He would have been able to see the tablet whenever he wanted to. So Fugaku is not Tobi.

I don't think tobi is Madara, either, becase if he was, hed be almost as old as Granny Chiyo, and Tobi is too fast to be an old man. :p

he could still be an artificial person like Zetsu made from Madara's chakra and Hashirama's DNA, or the other way around but I doubt it. Since Madara was expecting to return via rinne tensei then he must have had a way to make it work; Nagato stated that the soul uses the rejuvenated body as an anchor and returns. So, either Tobi is partially Madara or a clone or it's completely pointless that they know each other.

all you guys consider this:
kyubi said to sasuke when they meet at orochimaru's hideout with yamato, sakura and sai.... "those eyes and sinister chakra.... just like uchiha madara"
even if you cant see the face, i doubt that kyubi is so dumb to not recognize the chakra he sensed from tobi which he is convinced that its madara's chakra

im curious though..... in the kakashi-obito episode, obito says his one side is completely crushed... i assume his eye too. how the hell did tobi get it from there? even if u say tobi=obito how did that eye survive?? it was supposed to be crushed.

for all those saying setsuna is too fodder, i figure that, since a bunch of our suspects, past and present, were introduced, at length, by tobi, why would he want to go into great detail about the one he actually is? Yes, he thinks about setsuna, we see it on the page, but he does not say his name. however, his identity is confirmed by the Third Databook. as he tried to foment a revolution, it's clear that most of konoha that's older than the kurama attack would know who setsuna is. with him being in the databook, it's kishi telling us that this is a character we should simply know about, as any konoha denizen would. why point out his existence at all in the databook? why would tobi think of setsuna's failed role in the uchiha history and mention it at all but not mention the name of that person?

In "The Beginning of Everything", why is this page at all important if not for introducing Setsuna?



So, Madara's story is something like, "Titanic Shinobi and Titanic Shinobi fought other Shinobi Titans in Titanic Event, which led to other Titanic Event, and then Titanic Shinobi took over for the other Titanic Shinobi, but one of the original Titanic Shinobi was upset and turned out in Titanic Event, so new Titanic Shinobi made the family of the turned Out Titanic Shinobi into the police force in another Titanic Event in history. (oh, and a no name fodder uchiha was pissed and tried to say something but was shut up) Still, the Titanic Shinobi Family was suspect and when Titanic Event happened, Titanic Shinobi Family was even more suspect, leading the Titanic Shinobi Family to plan a coup, which was foiled in a Titanic Event involving a Titanic Shinobi Family Defector who slaughtered his own Titanic Shinobi Family except for one Titanic Shinobi, his brother.

Why mention the fodder failed uprising at all in the context of so many titanic events? Why was that insignificant rumbling thought to be significant enough for Tobi to mention in a history of titanic happenings in the history of Konoha?

It's because it was him.

i agree with you, i had also had enough of this "tobi is obito" bs.i guess people just doesn't have common sense.and what gets me even more upset is that the people who think it is obito doesnt even give good reasons to why they think so.there only excuse is that tobi has the same eye technique as kakashi or tobi's words were similar to what obito said.uchihas take each others eyes all the time,sasuke took itachis eyes,madara took his brothers eyes,danzo had a arm full of sharingans,and tobi has a room full of sharingans so its obvious that someone took obito's eye.and im gonna say this for the last time...tobi is a genius and manipulator but what you guys are forgetting is that he is a liar.he have been lying to everyone from the start.everything he says cant be trusted so stop trying to back up the "tobi is obito" theory with what tobi says.
