Before people get up in arms, yes, I know Naruto is the main character of the series, and yes, I know Naruto was technically the main character of the Ten Tails Revival Arc, but, I've been thinking, what if Obito's been as much of the main character as Naruto, if not more of one, at least in the last arc. I mean, think about it, we've had other arcs with other characters acting as the main, the Immortals Arc mostly revolved around Team Asuma, the Itachi Pursuit Arc was mostly about Sasuke, and I think the Ten Tails Revival Arc was mostly about Obito. When you get down to it, we get his backstory, and we often hear his inner thoughts during the arc, and, unlike previous villains, such as Nagato, we get it all through his eyes, solely through his eyes (as in, it's not another character contemplating his past, or him telling his story to Naruto, we just see it through his memories). If anything, I think the real focus of that arc was his redemption, rather than Ten Tails coming back, it makes sense when put into context, with all the philosophical battles between him and Naruto, his duel with Kakashi, his interactions with Madara, and, ultimately, his Attila redemption, it's kind of like how the Star Wars original trilogy, when put in context, is more about Darth Vader's redemption, than anything else. Does anyone else agree with me?
