nice explanation on time manipulation

& i think tobi's kamui is short range, he only wants to catch them with his hand just to keep them near so he can warp them.
in anime it is shown he can warp people without touching them.

but yeah tobi thinking of saving sasuke may be just a bad plot

Your theory was a very interesting read, and it does bring up many interesting points. Obito's kamui is, as Minato observes, a space/time technique that goes beyond his and Tobirama's. I too believe that he did not mean it was "better" as a jutsu perse, but more complex of a jutsu overall. Let us contemplate the instances that you brought up in your theory.

Obito surviving amaterasu
Obito saving Sasuke from jinton
Obito potentially trying to save Sasuke from being beheaded

The first instance showed Obito being struck with the jutsu, suffering from it, and disappearing into the shadows, only to emerge afterwards visibly unharmed. His clothes were not even charred, which is suspicious, seeing as amaterasu burned through two layers to get to Karin's back (though it did not burn through the samurai armor.) I have no explanation for that as of yet, so I will just leave it at that.

However, the next two instances may be explained without a time altering reason. I agree with you when you say that kamui puts the user in a dimension totally different from the Naruto world and Obito's world. Obito can be seen visibly, but upon contact any of his body parts and equipment is instantaneously in the other dimension. Equipment is the key word of my argument, because that means anything that he touches and chooses to pass his intangibility to will also be in a similar state as him. I believe that he could have entered the jinton, touched Sasuke, and made him intangible as well to survive the technique, the same is if he was holding a kunai. The same reasoning can be applied to his warping to save Sasuke from Danzo, however in that case there were two options that could be taken. Obito could have saved Sasuke via the same touch induced intangibility that he may have used at the kage summit, or he could have simply attacked Danzo directly.

With the above said, I am not entirely against the theory that kamui possesses latent time controlling abilities. Time space techniques are one's that receive the least universal explanations, due to their rarity and their (supposed) easily analyzed results. I would appreciate more concrete examples before I make my final decision.

There could be a lot of truth in this but I honestly think that Kishimoto is done with the character of Obito. He probably hasn't put this amount of detail in the character really, plus it's a little late to spring a twist like this unless he was actually going to do something with it.

Gotta hope though.

Nice Theory.

Obito survived amaterasu instantly without any harm to himself or his clothes. So I can think of 2 possibilities here:-
1. Either Obito warped himself instantly to other dimension on order to save himself & his clothes from burning.
2. Or he got burnt a little by amaterasu then he warped to kamui dimension, healed himself by senju dna & changed his clothes in the other dimension then returned back.
I favor 2nd possibility here because amaterasu already touched his clothes.

Obito saved Sasuke from Onoki's Jinton at last moment by just appeared above Sasuke or next to Sasuke and took him to Kamui dimension instantly. (like Obito appeared above Naruto in war or Obito was able to block way of Kakashi, Yamato, Lee, Sakura, Naruto etc. instantly while they were chasing Sasuke during Sasuke vs Itachi battle)

So I think Obito can create a hole in space time continuum instantly and go in there then come out to any other place by creating another hole in space time continuum.

Thats why his MS eye technique is 1 of the most lethal power in NarutoVerse.

Your theory has nice points. :)

really nice theory, a type of time manipulation is a must with the space manipulation.
I do wonder though .....how the hell can Konan know about this limit (cuz i don't think Obito would've ever remained intangible for 5mins without any reason lolz)and what will happen if he exceeds this limit how exactly does it effect Obito? i think kishi realised that Kamui is too Op and maybe decided to nerf it by an a*s pull lolz
