Why do they complain about Tobi's identity?Obito came the closest and there was no way Izuna or anyone else would have been a better choice?Where is the problem?

There were not only better choices imo but after the mask came off, he really fell as a villain. Imo

because people thought obito wasn't bad ass enough because they are idiots who don't think people can change.

Yeah it would be wierd if it were anyone else. This is how the convo would go if it were Izuna:

(mask breaks)
Gai: Do you know who thisi guy is, kakashi?
Kakashi: nope, never seen him...
Izuna: I guess having the mask was useless...

Because it was so obvious from the beginning that the smart people believed Kishi was going to twist it rather than give it away 100s of chapters before the reveal.

exactly obito was in early part 1 3 times.. one in kakashis team photo.. one when kakashi visited his grave... one when we saw his masked man mask. and even more kakashi gaiden ironically focused more on obito than kakashi.

Because people were butthurt that their crazy theories about tobi being sasuke from the future or some random fodder (kagami for example) didn't come true.

But also because some events don't really add up (the whole "bloody mist" situation). Oh well, it's too bad now.

I myself don't really mind tobi being obito. At least, it made the characters react to the revelation. The situation (as stated above) would've been awkward if it had been someone else.

I predicted Tobi was Obito and I didn't mind if he was, I just didn't like his character afterwards.

Which Tobi; or which mask.
'zetsu' Tobi - btw he did go inside the ground, similar to Orochimaru.
'zetsu' were full 99% clone of anyone.
But there were 1 original zetsu, killed by Sasuke.
And 1 black zetsu, said to be Madara will; to be exact BZ, child of Kaguya.
Complain = Tobi said he was nobody......

Kishi overhyped the reveal, and most people didn't think it would be Obito because he was way too obvious of a choice.

Also, It wouldn't have made sense for him to be Tobi (at the time of the chapter)

I thought Tobi was cool. Then I found out it was a dude b*tching about his dead 13 year old comrade.

[I may or may not hold the following views.]


1. Tobi was partially an intriguing character due to his hidden identity.
2. Obito was an obvious candidate and theorists believed Masashi would not choose such an obvious path.
3. Obito's overall reasoning is weaker than Madara or Nagato.
4. Tobi 'acted' differently; Obito appears to be less patient and more emotional than Tobi.
5. Theorists were upset that their theories were proven false as some needed a lot of time to compose.
6. Out of all the candidates, Obito seemed most prone to the 'talk no jutsu' notion.


Obito being Tobi was only made obvious due to the structure of the war. Imagine if Itachi and Sasuke later joined the battle against Tobi and Tobi was Shisui. Shisui, being the origin of Itachi's ideology is similar to Obito being the origin of Kakashi's ideology. Shisui can also be a foil to Naruto if it is learned that Shisui and Naruto had similar personalities. Moreover, Shisui would also be important to Sasuke due to their strange relationship. Kakashi, Gai and Kirabi know of and/or might have some sort of relation with Shisui as well.

In the same situation with Sasuke and Itachi joining the battle against Tobi, Fugaku Uchiha and Future Sasuke were potential candidates as well. Future Sasuke would appeal to all characters due to Sasuke playing a central role in the tale. Fugaku would appeal to Sasuke and Itachi; Kakashi, Gai and Kirabi may have a relation with Fugaku as well. Moreover, it will further hint and and emphasis the Sasuke-Naruto relationship. Tobi [Fugaku] fought Minato -- Fugaku being Sasuke's father and Minato being Sasuke's father. Moreover, Fugaku being Tobi could have been seen as obvious as well due to Tobi and Darth Vader of Star Wars having stark similiarities.

Izuna would not be significant to any of the characters other than possibly Sasuke but he certainly could be; not much is known of Izuna and even less at the time; Izuna may have some special relationship with one or more of the characters. I remember some theorizing Izuna being Sasuke's ancestor. Kagami, I can't imagine would be significant either. However, Tobi's identity didn't have to be significant. Knowing Masashi however...

People had disputes over Obito being Tobi due to the only true evidence being his utilization of a technique similar to Kakashi's Kamui, spiky-black hair and possessing one eye. Tobi using Izanagi against Konan showed his possession of two Sharingan while Obito was only "supposed" to have one. In addition to the said, Tobi stated he "gave" Nagato the Rin'negan. We know now that Obito said this as he was acting as if he himself was Madara; at the time this knowledge was released, it was interpreted literally. Minato fighting Tobi but not realizing it was Obito was used as an argument against Tobi being Obito.

Overall, Obito being Tobi was too obvious and not obvious enough at the same time which led to some disapointment and resentment of the figure that is Obito. Also, Tobi was cool.
