Kishi built the plot so much that chronologically & canonically Tobi couldn't be Obito..Lol :sy:. The funny thing is Kishi already PLANNED Tobi to be Obito WAY BEFORE he introduced these so-called "plot holes."
Clearly he gave Tobi characteristics which hinted Obito on purpose from the beginning and only a retard would call it coincidences:
You guys should be asking WHY he introduced these PLOT HOLES in the first place and NOT why Obito is Tobi. Some of you guys were in denial about the Obito-Tobi similarities the whole time for whatever reason. :ice:
- Similarity between Obito and Tobi names
- Favorite Color
- Starting off with a left-eye mask
- Same style and color of hair
- And of course, the whole "hiding my identity not because I am an ANBU member but because I am someone you have seen before from a previous chapter" look with the mask, fully covered costume, and gloves
Remember he could've done the same with his right eye. Since he had a Sharingan in both eyes, the hairstyle part is irrelevant since his hairstyle changed twice.
