As we are fast approaching the first year anniversary of Tobi's reveal, I would like to point out something: Tobi being Obito was obvious from the start: one-eyed mask, appearing after Kakashi Gaiden, rearranging the letters of Tobi's name and adding an "o" making it Obito, Kamui power like Kakashi's MS which belonged to Obito, artificial half body (the side which got crushed by the boulder) etc. it was so obvious but why did others speculate Tobi to be Izuna, Shisui, Kagami or Sasuke from the future? It was so obvious that he was Obito from the start.

Because people didn't know Madara survived and the knowledge about Madara that Obito was showing seemed like it had to be from a closer relative than Obito. Sasuke from the future was a joke.

There's always 95% rule, deal with it ;)

All those Izuna,Kagami etc. theorists are ignorant.They see it's too obvious,like you said and decide to deny it.

Tobi being Obito was Kishi's way of flipping off everyone who had deep theories that went past what all the third-grade level theories that was based on what you said above.

Well Tobi fought Minato and was 174 cm [his final height] whereas Kakashi and Guy wasn't near his final height[181 cm and 184 cm resp.] also Tobi had the voice of much older man.

Kishi also deliberately made Tobi of same height and weight as Izuna so it'd throw everyone off course, Kishi also showed that Tobi had another eye [Izanagi] and his connections with Nagato [same age as Minato according to manga time like]Danzou and Orochimaru were ambiguous. All in all the age [and his knowledge] didn't fit and that's why everyone thought it wasn't Obito.

It seems Valor is actually Wisdom.

One of the main reasons many didn't believe it was Obito, was that they thought it would be impossible for Obito to become strong enough to go toe-to-toe against Minato in such short period of time. (If you remember that Obito didn't have any talent at all) and all of a sudden, he can extract bijuus and defeat the private anbu of the third hokage?

It just seemed unlikely

Like I said, Kishi's middle finger went up.

yeah it was well foreshadowed but the introduction of madara clouded this.
obito was not final villain material back then XD

but now he is :cool:

kishi clouded things desperately to surprise us later imo.

it was well foreshadowed and then clouded a little.

That's what having Madara as a teacher does for you. And MS. And Senju DNA.

People wanted it to be someone else because Obito was too obvious. I didnt want it to be Obito because not only was he too obvious, his reason for crossing over to the dark side was obvious as well.

Because school starts again in 1 week, this is what Obito's face reminds me off, school...
