[Theory] How Tobi's intangibility

[prince of zamunda]

Please read all before refuting

There are many ways Tobi's intangibility could work but this is one way that seems plausible to me. Uchiha's were known to be skilled in the Body Flicker technique most notably Shisui who got his nickname from being the best at using the tech within his clan and nation. Other notable users are Itachi and Sasuke.

Tobi's intangibility only last 5 min at a time and is a separate tech from his sharigan dimensional tech. Tobi has to be solid in order to absorb himself or someone.

The reason I think the Body Flicker is important is because it lets your body move from point a to point b at high speeds but what if taken to its maximum potential not only would it let your body move at high speeds but also your molecules/atoms allowing one to be able to pass through solid objects and even light energy IE Sasuke's Chidori

One notable fictional character able to move their molecules/atoms at high speeds is The Flash from DC Comics. Flash can not only vibrate his atoms to become intangible an pass through objects but can also stop someone who can also become intangible by vibrating their atoms at high speed to make them become tangible.

Thoughts?

naw prob just an unexplainable phenomenom of the naruto world....kinda like minatoos FTG

 

[Kakashi Fang]

It's alredy been explained!

Tobi uses his S/T jutsu to send parts of his body to another dimension and then instantly bring the back.

The FTG has been said to be similar to the summoning/reverse summoning technique since it needs a special mark in order to transport to that place that has the marking on it which is the reason why his kunai has those unique markings. He can also put those markings on people by touching them.

Other than Kakashi's assumption when he fought tobi's for the first time i don't think so. Any time tobi absorbs himself you can see his tech activate with his sharigan making a swirl pattern but as stated by Konan it takes longer to absorb someone or something and when he fought her he tried to switch between the two.

The moment we start talking about vibrating atoms so fast that they can pass through objects, the only limitation is our own imagination. It could be that if you wanted to. I don't like the sound of it, for obvious reasons.

What I thought was that he was simply using a projection and that he wasn't really there most of the time. To become tangible, he'd have to replace his "hologram" or whatever and really go there and touch his target.

That was only an assumption that later turned out to be wrong.

yep. it is shown in the manga when tobi fought fuu and torune, that tobi's entire body becomes intangible, not just seperate parts, otherwise he could have simply gone straight through there punches while attacking them at the same time.

Nice, this I think is most likely possible +rep

 

[Baka Sennin]

he's just sending his body into another dimension, but imo there is some anchor which binds his soul or whatever into the physical world, which is outside his body.

More wrong info. Surprised how someone can debate or correct another without at least having a good understanding of the subject matter.

A hologram needs a light source which i think Tobi can't provide. The hologram would also make him appear to look like a ghost which isn't the case because we can still see Tobi just as clear when he switches from intangible to tangible.

If he is moving his atoms at the highest speeds it would make him seem like his body is actually there but by slowing them down he can become solid again. Perfect example is when Goku fought Jeice and Burter he appeared to be standing still but he was moving so fast that their ki blast seem to pass right through him. I'm not saying Goku can vibrate his atoms but i'm saying if one moves fast enough then one can seem to pass through objects without appearing to look like a ghost/hologram.

Ocean Dubb is the only vid i can find for my evidence so if you can't stand the dubb skip to 2:57 thats where the action starts

@prince of zamunda we're not talking about technology or science here.

Vibrating the atoms fast = evaporating. It's inconcievable.

I'm much more likely to believe a projection of himself, like an illusion (which I called a hologram, for most people to understand) than increaing his body temperature to millions of degrees to pass seamlessly through objects... which would still be impossible..

how fast, exactly? give the temperature.


we're making this far too complicated

Tobi just jumps into a pocket dimension via warping the Space around in a certain area.

It's similar to Kakashis Kamui , But only one exception , Kakashi seems too be able warp things from a longer distance and Tobi in the other hand has too make contact with the Object.

Tobi has been shown a great mastery over this technique and Is sayed too be able too hold the technique for 5 minutes , but the right Duration is still unknown.

My gosh!... :|

According to Rin, Minato could also use body flicker:
