Wow. Like 18 pages of garbage in this thread. It was like pulling teeth reading everyones posts. DRIVEL!!
So here are some things i want to cover.
1. Gai pulled out the nunchucks to avoid taijutsu with tobi, knowing that tobi can warp him out with a single touch. I loved when gai swung the chucks at tobis head after saving naruto. Tobi phased and then tried to grab gai during the backswing, so gai bounced the chucks off his foot back at tobi, who was forced to phase again and passed through gai, unable to grab him. That was awesome!
2. Kakashi used kamui on the gedo but it seemed to me as though tobi threw the fan up into the air to block the kamui and cancel the jutsu. Thus kakashi probably didnt waste too much chakra. Although afterward he is panting as though it tired him a bit. Then he used a very simple lightning enchantment on his kunai to sharpen the blade and save naruto. Then he used a fast easy kamui to destroy the kunai before it hit naruto. I dont feel like this is an excessive use of chakra.
3. Killer Bee is hurt from previously in the battle. He got horned by one of the bijuu. I would assume he is holding back for that reason. Also in bijuu form he can use his size and bijudama if necessary. He also launched kakashi at tobi and naruto the same way he launched gai sensei during the kisame chase. He is injured but staying there for support. I admire that.
4. Tobi is not on the offensive. He has no need to try to kill them. His only goal at this point should be to keep them busy and protect the gedo and wait for the juunis revival. He is doing a marvelous job of phasing their attacks while trying for counter attacks to warp them out of battle. Unfortunately for him he is outnumbered. Kakshi and Gai are masters. They will protect Naruto over and over and refuse to be taken down. Tobis mask definitely cracked on its own in the final frame. None of their attacks hit him, he phased them all. It cracked in the final frame as a metaphor. Its like a stress fracture. He is being pushed to his limits trying to fight them all at the same time. I would jokingly say that he bumped his head on the rocks falling from the sky. But honestly i get what kishi was trying to say to us now. The only part that i didnt like was that tobi kicked kakshis enchanted kunai after it passed through his head. How is that physically possible? One second it at your head and the next second its at your feet? Ok kishi. . .
5. I dont feel like naruto was useless. He was trying to hit tobi with a bijuball. If he can land that hit, even once tobi is toast. There was one part right after tobi blocked kakashis kamui with the fan that naruto tried to hit tobi with the bijuball and he mised. There is a masive explosion in the next frame of rocks and debris because naruto missed. Then tobi disappears and reappears in the ground beneath naruto, who senses him and dodges, impressive i think.
6. I want to point out, because a lot of people seem to be forgetting, that chakra replenishes. Its like stamina, if you ran until you were winded and couldnt run any further without collapsing, and then took a break, you could then run again afterwards. This principle applies to these ninjas and this war. Yes kakshi has been fighting for more than a day, yes he has used power after power, but do you really think he hasnt taken time inbetween to breathe and relax and recharge? A good ninja would manage his power levels and purpsefully hang back for a bit if he got tired to powerup again. The same can be said for naruto who has been praised as having the highest endurance of anyone in the entire series. So please stop bitching about something you think is a problem with the story just because you dont understand how these things work.
7. There is a LOT of offtopic posts being made. Talkng about minato and tobi in a rematch and talking about sasuke and orochimaru and madara and the kages. May i point out that this chapter had none of that in it? This is a discussion of this chapter and predictions of whats to come. BSing about other stuff is a waste of this thread. There are other threads for that material.
8. Im so sick of hearing from some of you that tobi is this and tobi is that. Especially when it is flat out impossible. Im more tham happy to entertsin the idea that tobi is someone who isnt completely unthinkable. Madara. Izuna. Sage elder son, kagami uchiha, etc. Be smart. Know that tobi isnt obito, hashirama, tobirama, the ramen guy, and all the other dumb ideas i keep having to read through looking for something intellectual. This halfwit garbage is tiresome. Nut up and think about it if you want to express your opinion, make it a reasonable informed opinion, not one based on lunacy and fantasy. Even in a fictional story there isnt room for that level of retarded.
9. Lastly, my prediction for the coming chapters. . . I think orochimaru and sasuke are going to go to the waterfall with madara and hashiramas statue. I think that madara will be defeated by the kages at the expense of one or two lives. I think that the juubi will be revived and tobi will be revealed as either izuna or sages elder son. I have a few more predictions but i will keep those safe for now, maybe ill share them later.
If you paid me the honor of reading my post i thank you. I apologize for any textual errors. I typed this on my pad. I always appreciate any comments or responses.
