[Discussion] What's the point of Obito's mask?

[SasukeSuite1]

As depicted here, Obito had (or still has) a Zetsu suit which conceals his identity

However in the most recent manga chapter, he has suddenly crafted a mask for some unbeknownst reason.

Quite possibly a very irreverent detail, but I am very confused about what the purpose of the mask is, unless I somehow missed a huge part in the manga where there was an explanation of the origin of the newly crafted mask. Irrelevant or not, it's just something to think about. Bizarre theories from the depths of your imaginations are welcomed here for shits and giggles.

just so he can hide his identity in "style"..i guess

 

[Neji360]

I'm just as confused as you

 

[MtnDew]

To hide his identity maybe...

 

[Nigete]

He's denying himself. In other words, he wants to forget who he is. As stated by him, he is nobody.

 

[Noobastank]

Masks are worn to deceive or to hide. to conceal his identity

 

[ThaMaskedMan]

Besides hiding his identity, I don't think there was any other reason why he made the mask.

 

[ITS GEICO]

Maybe because he didnt have an "eye" yet on his left side and just got used to it when he did get one o___o

 

[Tsujan9484]

cause he was an attention seeker. :|

 

[ShinraRengan]

Identity and the living maskdidn't shut up.

the mask made its debut in the back round of madaras cave

 

[Ldude]

It's symbolic for his--- Nah, I have no idea. Maybe Zetsu died, so he turned his body into a mask.

to make the fans wonder..

 

[repulse]

Really? I mean, there is ALWAYS the possibility that Obito took MADARA's name and used the power associated with the said name to achieve his goals....and by wearing the mask there wouldn't be many people who would deny it, since there are people such as Oonoki who would recognize that Obito is not indeed Madara..

Kishi made it to piss us off. Simple as that.

This

Obviously he can't pretend to be Madara with his young face. Also everyone in Konaha would have recognized him immediately.

 

[Odd One]

1. to forget who he is.
2. to hide his ugly face.

 

[ANONYMOUS 182]

To Hide his ****ed up face!!!!

 

[Xaviour]

He didn't care about his past life anymore, so I suppose that he didn't want other people's emotions to be involved in his fights. Also he wanted to carry on Madara's ideals, which wouldn't of been plasiable had people of seen his face.
