Now that Tobi's intangibility has finally been explained we understand how he can avoid damage.
But there is one thing I dont get. Kakashi has explicidly stated that Tobi moves one part (the part of his body that would be damaged) of himself to the other dimension. So in other words, one part of him is intangibly while the rest of his body isnt.

Now: Do you remember the fight with Fu and Torune? There was this one scene where Tobi was about to hit Fu with his fist. At the same time Torune threw a kunai at Tobi. To avoid the kuna, which was about to hit Tobi's head, Tobi made himself intangible. But not only did the kunai go thorugh his head, his fist also went through Fu's face.

Why didnt Tobi just made his head intangible (-> move it to the other dimension) and leaf the rest of his body physically so he can hit Fu?

I realize it isnt that important since Tobi won anyway but it kind of contradicts how Kakashi explained his intangibility.

This whole tobi sends part of his body is bull crap because I have seen him walk through people. I think he just sends his whole body that makes more sense to me but hey

That's what I believed as well, but the manga states if differently...

When he activates his technique his body can't touch something without going intangible, that's the only way it makes sense
I see what you mean, he automatically becomes intangible when touching something/ someone. Yeah that would explain it :)

And I thought sakura explained this ages ago, well basically
You must be registered for see images

All kakashi added was what he makes disappear goes into the other dimension, but I guess that is better info because it is how naruto was able to hit him

The reason is simple, once he activates the jutsu its basicly automatic, which ever part of his body comes into contact will dissapear so its multiple body prts that move to the other dimension and when its automatic he cant choose to keep part of his body solid or he would have.

Probably because it's kind of easier to just send his whole body to the other dimension when he's in a rush rather than pick out body parts because that will take a lot of time.

I think his whole body becomes intangible but whatever part overlaps with his enemy is capable of being hit with kakashi kamui.
