We should have known it right then! The first time it was revealed, and the first person it was revealed to........


You must be registered for see images




It should have been the most obvious thing in the world!






That Tobi was Obito.



Many people did theorise it right away and some others followed suit as well. But their ideas were shunned by you and me ,the majority, the over thinkers and simpletons(me). Why? Because it was too trivial and simple.

But!

Sometimes.......the most simple thing in the world can be the hardest to see. Well played Kishi....U_U

Tobi being Obito was too obvious. I know people who saw Tobi for first time, and already guessed it was Obito at that moment. Honestly, I expected Kishi to do much more of a work out of it.

I don't get it. Kakashi was surprised to see a Sharingan, it didn't mean it had to be Obito's.
I think most had the theory that it was Obito or could be but the more time went by the more we started thinking it
was someone different just so that Kishi could surprise us better. Well, I guess some were surprised xd

Agreed. Still I don't think it was a let down, but it took too long just to see it was Obito. It was obvious he had a similar ability to Kakashi and the name was obvious.
However, the ability, many thought was for sure from Obito's eye, but still it didn't have to be Obito himself.

I don't think the people who thought it wasn't Obito were the simpletons, rather the opposite. That it was Obito was simply too simple for many to accept.

And Madara did actually say "I awakened these eyes shortly before my death" and I guess that is what led people away from thinking it was Obito too.
And still to this date, this quote doesn't make any sense because he died way later than after having just awakened his Rinnegan..

That's one of Kishimoto's gifts, he makes it so obvious we refuse to accept it and began theorizing things with deeper meanings, only to find out it was exactly what we refused to accept in the beginning.

I also find it funny you posted this today. Last night I watched this episode randomly. lol

Every one says it was too obvious to see now, but no one seems to remember when it was claimed too impossible.

It was hinted quite often, we just refused to accept that Kishi would make the biggest mistake in Naruto.

I remember exactly how it was, and the theory of Obito was on the minds of everyone, but we deemed it too simple to be true. It was too obvious
I don't think many said when it was revealed: "Woah, I had no idea he could actually be Obito, the thought never crossed my mind"

It was quite obvious, but I don't think most people liked the idea that Obito was alive as a villain.
