I like to think Tobi was Obito killing time until he needed to be more directly involved with the plan. And the idea he was like I'm gonna go troll Deidara is a better character moment than him having some 4D chess reason he was Tobi outside deflecting suspicion. It really feels like it matches up with him generally being a traumatized child who never really got past how bad his childhood was.

[@hades4134]

I read somewhere the theory that Obito sometimes had spiral Zetsu pose as Tobi when he had to be somewhere else and because spiral Zetsu would always act like himself, Obito also had to act like spiral Zetsu when he was Tobi, so that it wouldn't be weird that sometimes Tobi is an absolut goofball and sometimes he isn't.

[@Oblivion___]

This theory doesn't make any sense. Guruguru (Spiral Zetsu) is completely different from Tobi/Obito in terms of aesthetics and design, and when he is fused with Obito he also looks quite different. Guruguru is also more insane than Tobi, Tobi's identity is a less insane Guruguru, Obito took Guruguru, reduced the insanity by 10X and created his persona as Tobi, Guruguru spent the whole time talking about shit, feces, etc... even when we see him in Ninja War he is literally asking the Five Kage how they shit. The guy spent 20 years asking Obito how he shits, he arrives in the middle of the Fourth Ninja War and the first thing he does is ask the Shinobi Alliance how they shit. Tobi is always a goofball, but at the same time he is an S-Rank ninja so Obito has to pass Tobi as a goofball, but a goofball that has a high level of combat skill to make him worthy of an Akatsuki, which makes his acting all the more impressive, as he constantly has to balance the two. A goofball who has impressive physical combat prowess, but who has enough analytical skills to help Deidara in a fight, notices things that Deidara himself wouldn't notice and passes that information on to Deidara in a way that doesn't seem suspicious, while at the same time time that has a good teamwork with Deidara and be useful in some way in the fights. Obito and Deidara had excellent teamwork. From what was shown in the series, the Akatsuki pairs with the best teamwork were Kakuzu - Hidan, and Tobi - Deidara.

[@Oblivion___]

When you analyze Tobi you immediately realize that he was not a simple goof, there are several extremely serious things with the character, right in the capture of the Three-Tails, which is the character's introduction, you can see that Tobi is irritating Deidara on purpose, that it's not just Tobi's goofy personality that naturally annoys Deidara, but something Tobi goes out of his way to purposely annoy Deidara. In the fight against Sasuke there are all the fight tips that Tobi gives to Deidara, which is impressive considering the fight between Deidara and Gaara, where Deidara planned the whole fight, but here we have this goof who is giving tips fights for Deidara. It has all of Deidara and Tobi's impressive teamwork. The teamwork that Tobi has with Deidara is impressive, they were supposed to hate each other, and Tobi is an idiot who, in capturing Sanbi asks Deidara what the hell they are doing and what that mission is, but here he is (Tobi) laying mines on the ground, or explaining in detail how Deidara's abilities work. If you go back in the anime/manga to Tobi's introduction in capturing the Three-Tails, you will see that Tobi was advising Deidara in some scenes. In the scene after capturing Sanbi, Deidara tells Tobi that Tobi should talk less and be someone "cool", Tobi should talk less in fights, be someone colder, because if he kept talking a lot or acting like and idiot and in an emotional/dramatic way it would affect his performance in the missions and he could die, so he had to be cool, keep calm and talk less, Tobi's answer is something like: "Deidara Senpai, you say that, but you also talk too much." It's literally Obito talking to Deidara: "You're making the mistake you're warning me not to make." Which is exactly what happens in the fight against Sasuke, with Deidara losing control of his emotions, not being cold, and talking a lot, that is, Deidara is not being the cool guy, while Tobi "follows" the advice and becomes more silent and more focused, being the "cool" person that Deidara told him to be. It's actually interesting Naruto calling Obito the coolest guy ever, although I thought it was hilarious, it's interesting because Deidara told Obito to be the coolest guy, and he actually became the coolest guy at the end of the series.

[@shadowhokage3807]

​@@Oblivion___actually that theory does make some sense and its not your place to disprove that idea

[@Oblivion___]

@@shadowhokage3807 No, it doesn't make sense. 1 - Tobi clearly uses Kamui to evade attacks in every scene, Guruguru doesn't have abilities that make him "intangible" in any way, which means that Obito has to be there 100% of the time to use Kamui. 2 - The main factor that proves that Obito was not inside Guruguru is the fact that Tobi and Guruguru are visually completely different, go see the images of Guruguru and see how visually different the characters are, and it would be impossible for Obito to walk inside Guruguru and no one immediately notices it. - Guruguru's body is a shell, Guruguru doesn't wear a spiral mask, that's his face and it's obviously stuck with the rest of his body, which means the orange mask is a real mask. - Guruguru also has no hair and it covers the host's whole body, we saw this when he merges with Obito (child) and Yamato, which means that Tobi's hair has to be real and therefore that one is the real Obito , or is it a wig. 3 - Obito on the mission with Deidara eats sweets, if he was inside the Gurguru, the Guruguru would have to completely remove the orange mask and the wig, so that Guruguru could open his hull so that Obito could eat the dangos. This scene is the perfect example of how difficult it would be for Obito to be inside Guruguru and because the theory doesn't make sense. I think anyone who believes in this theory probably never thought how difficult it would be for Obito to walk around inside Guruguru while Guruguru wears a wig and an orange mask, and how easily his disguise would be blown. And yes, the orange mask is a real mask, it is held by the black part and is removable, we see this several times in the series. 4 - Anyone who has paid attention to the series knows how Guruguru's body works, and anyone who knows how Guruguru works knows how ridiculous it would be for Obito to stay inside Guruguru, with Guruguru using another disguise on top to hide his abnormal body, while Obito watches all the craziness and uses Kamui, while having his body controlled. If Obito was inside Guruguru it would be easier for him to just come with the "naked" Guruguru. Why would Obito and Guruguru go to the trouble of wearing a wig, a spiral orange mask over Guruguru's spiral face which is already thick and acts like a mask? Do you realize how complicated this is? And how needless is that? In fact this question alone completely kills the theory. 5 - Why on earth would they wear a wig and an orange mask? Why the hell didn't Obito come with Guruguru naked like he did when he met Nagato, Konan and Yahiko? Why wear a wig, mask and all that clothing without the need. Why is Tobi's appearance the same as Obito's appearance in his other appearances without Guruguru? Maybe it's because Tobi is Obito? It would be easier and hundreds of times simpler for Obito to imitate Guruguru's voice and act, just as he imitates Madara's voice and act, than for him to go through all the trouble of having to: - Stay naked or in pants inside Guruguru. - Having his body is controlled by the Guruguru. - While the Guruguru wears a disguise, with a ton of clothes, with a wig and a spiral mask over the spiral face. It's an extremely complicated plan, meaningless and unnecessary, when Obito could do the least without all that fuss. Why the hell is it so hard to believe that Obito was acting pretending to be Tobi, just like he acted pretending to be Madara? 6 - Guruguru's argument being Tobi is involved in: Obito covered up with Guruguru, Guruguru dressed in a lot of clothes, put a wig, a spiral mask over his spiral face to disguise all his strange body, and started acting like a retard while Obito stays inside him watching everything and uses Kamui. LMAO. 7 - In the fight against Team 7 we see Obito's face, and there's nothing white under the orange mask.

I don't think Obito was ever planning to revive Madara, He was going to perform the infinite tsukoyomi by himself, Kabuto f-ed up.

Not even Kabuto, it was Black Zetsu who gave Kabuto Madara's DNA. Obito hijacked the plan but he didn't suspect that Black Zetsu was the mastermind behinf everything and was going with his own agenda.

[@giannixx]

Modulating one's voice seems to be a fairly standard ability in Naruto, probably an E-Rank jutsu. We see Yamato adjusting his voice to match that of Sasori/Hiruko, but we see as early chapter 2 Naruto transforming himself into a woman, who I presume would have a female voice. In the anime, he does. It seems to be related to, or used in conjunction with, the Transformation Jutsu, so there's nothing special about Obito also being able to do it.

[@alovesupreme76]

yeah the voice itself probably is easy enough for someone to do, but mannerisms/personality and inflection are a whole other thing. Obito was acting his ass off as Tobi

[@dzhonnikihirin4006]

Naruto turned into saske

[@esmundeerkens8212]

Yes that's true, my initial thought was that maybe the sharingan helped with the subtleties of the modulation of the voice as they can fake a writing/signature pretty well also, but you're right, yamato used a technique that's used in real life for voice modulation (see guy pretends to be girl on Omegle)

[@Very_Hauntly]

Dygo I don't know if this is foreshadowing, but actually when Deidara captured the 3 tails, Deidara made a comment I can't remember, and Obito stayed quiet, which is unusual since he is goofy, but he may have did that because the 3 tail was inside Rin and it may have foreshadowed his and Kakashis backstory as it pertains to her death because of the 3 tails burden

Plus considering he was a lackey who barely replaced Sasori as a member. The fact that he became a member was suspicious too, either that or the Akatsuki was desperate for a replacement. Then he shows his abilities like this and it seems he's goofing off, but he has like an even perfect defense than Gaara. Then you start to think... wait why wasn't he in place of Sasori before Sasori? He's clearly better.

It's unlikely to be Zetsu (or Guruguru for that matter) because he actually uses Kamui while goofing off. Then again, Zetsu became a perfect Kisame clone and at the beginning of shippuden Nagato made that weird one time Itachi clone with actual sharingan so I guess anything is possible after all.

Acting seems like a pretty important ninja skill, tbh. They can do transformation jutsu in the academy, so you’d assume they’d also try to work on playing a character to avoid being discovered.

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

I assume that Obito just got to know Spiral Zetsu's character even better as he was literally acting as his body support for who knows how long. Talking into his ear from time to time. Compiled with all of the time in the cave when Obito got attached, and I imagine that the Tobi persona simply provided Obito with some levity. His plans are working, but they are years in the making, this is simply how he amuses himself, on top of everything else. I kind of wish the Tobi persona reappeared for those reanimated Deidara interactions. Also imagine being Deidara and realizing Tobi is now leading the Akatsuki. That would make me want to go back into the ground, immediately.

[@Crow_Rising]

A quick list of reasons for the goofy facade: -As an homage to Guruguru who had become one of the closest things to a friend that he had. -To hide his own existence and downplay his own importance (This also applies to him pretending to be Madara in regards to hiding his own existence). -As a means to an end so that he could keep an eye on the Akatsuki while incognito and make sure they didn't steer off track of his plans. -When Rin died, his connection to reality shattered and he stopped caring about the world. Acting like a goofball didn't really matter to him because from his perspective, nothing that happened within that reality was important aside from the steps he was taking to complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi. -In combat, he seemed to be treating it as a form of disrespect. He outright trolled his opponents by dominating them despite acting like an incompetent buffoon. -Out of universe, he was functioning as a comic relief character.

[@Little-Buster]

Disguises are a ninjas bread and butter, and Tobi isn't the only one who does this. We see Haku in the beginning, how he successfully fooled team 7 with his disguise. Then there was orochi bastard who was so brazenly confident in his disguise that he got as close as possible to Anko, even giving back her kunai with his tongue! How this didn't clue Anko in that this is her old mentor is baffling. He also later sits next to the hokage himself to watch kids beat the shit out of each other. At this point it is confirmed that orochis sneak/disguise skill is 100. We also see how yamato impersonates sasori when on that bridge. If it wasn't for orochi and kabuto already planning on double crossing the double crosser, then yamato would have succeeded. So it's not not far fetched that Tobito can do it too.

[@elchimchar8729]

I don't know about other dubs but at least in the spanish dub for the games (the anime was never fully dubbed) obito only has one voice actor for all his personas and it is really good with all of them in fact some people argue obito's impersonation of madara sounds better than the actual voice of madara

I think tobi is obito's inner child. he's the child that got crushed by the boulder and saw rin get lynched as soon as she came home. that's why tobi is a good boy. obito wasn't like the rest of the uchiha clan. he wasn't emo or moody or a backstabber like they were. 14 year old obito was a good boy. he loved life and lived by a nindo he thought was fair. that's why he kept up the tobi persona when he was alone

[@Cainanblackwood]

There was actually one part in the anime where tobi showed a darker more sinister side to his character. When he was observing the fight between orochimarus men and that crystal style user and all the leaf ninja who were there to seal the three tails, there was a part where obito started to speak with his normal voice. I think it was when he saw yukimaru controlling the three tails. He said something like “Well, looky here” in a dark scary obito voice.

[@Nocturne69]

my guess was always that tobi was obito before he lost his innocence and half his body was destroyed,i somewhat dont think it was an act and instead a coping mechanism its not that uncommon for people to retain child-like mentality after going through trauma as a kid because that innocence is much easier on the mind to function with the switch to becoming "madara" was most likely in response to shit going downhill and the obito we know is the shell of a person who remained after the event that ruined his life in all his cold bitter hatred and heartbreak

[@jonathanwolfe2692]

I thought that Tobi was the wearable hollow Zetsu, and Obito was just wearing him, and would either just let Tobi "drive" and be himself (taking over and/or letting Tobi use his power when he needed to), or they were outright operating separately (while dressing the same/sharing the same identity) with Obito using kamui to enter in to Tobi unnoticed and take over whenever he wanted to. This would have make a lot of sense, but was never confirmed one way or the other. Though his arm did melt off when hit by Minato which may have been a result of Tobi being damaged from the rasengan so Obito moved his real arm into Kamui space to hide it from Minato to prevent him from seeing it and possibly recognizing the scars (it was his crushed side) which likely would have been enough to put 2 and 2 together. Causing Tobi's damaged and now empty "shell arm" to quickly liquify and tear the rest of the way off under its own weight without the support of his actual arm to hold it together/fill it...

[@godiloveminininjas4278]

It wouldn’t make a lot of sense. Obito can’t simply go in and out and pull an entire armor onto himself without the kamui effect being visible or just wasting a lot of chakra. Also, if he is wearing the armored Zetsu, then the mask shouldn’t even fit very well on him. Another thing is, how can his hair be shown if he’s wearing the swirly zetsu? That is not possible, Swirly Zetsu is supposed to be wrapped around his head. Not to mention you can always only see Obito’s skin underneath the mask, never any sign of swirly. It’s just a stupid way to complicate his character. Truth is, Swirly Zetsu was kind to Obito and they had a connection, therefore Obito inspired his made up personality of Tobi by Swirly Zetsu. As well as the mask

[@Kaiser_MHA]

Nah. Goofy Tobi & Adult Obito have the same voice actor in both sub & dub. Spiral Zetsu shares White Zetsu’s though. We also see that Spiral Zetsu is blatantly not attached to Obito at any point as an adult. Obito’s arm melting off is because he literally has a Zetsu arm, which Madara used to replace his lost one. Goofy Tobi & Spiral Zetsu also have differences in personality (name a time Tobi talked about poop- which Spiral Zetsu did in every appearance). Obito just based the persons on Spiral Zetsu.

[@challeFN]

Zetsu wasn't the only one who knew "Tobi" was the big bad behind the scenes, though nobody else knew he was really Obito. Nagato and Konan were invited to the Akatsuki by him and Itachi thought he was Madara. Obito actually awakened Itachi's Sharingan and indirectly MS.

[@WarFox7012]

Ain’t no way he said the Madara dub is bad. The mass majority of characters are better in the dub of Naruto as well anyways. It’s definitely one of the animes that you could watch dub or sub.

[@MoontouchedOwlBeast]

I have a theory that may explain this - Obito from time to time allows the white wooden Zetsu clone to take over his body. Allowing him to have a better cover than Obito’s acting or personality. So every time you see silly Obito, it’s not really him. It’s Spiral Zetsu. This isn’t confirmed, but it makes way more sense to me. Now how can he use Obito’s powers? Well since they share a body it’s not too far of a stretch to assume they can share abilities. This can also foreshadow Zetsus having the ability to control other people’s bodies and abilities. Idk. What do y’all think???

My headcannon is that Obito exaggerated his childhood clumsiness amd foolishness to an extreme extent as Tobi.

[@Fixti0n]

The fact that Obito is the only "actor" among ALL the ninjas is weird, there is a whole whooping one other ninja in Naruto who does the most essential job of a ninja and spy, and that is blending into society and be someone they are not, aka, a spy, and that is that one carpenter from the enemy clan, in a filler arc. In history, acting like someone you are not was the bread and butter of a ninja, the reason ninja weapons are things like common tools is because of this, in historical japan, a ninja wasnt that roof running, shadow weaving black clad dude all the time, 99% of the time, a ninja was someone like a gardener, chef or carpenter working around the town. And if you are a double agent in a super edgy terrorist organization, acting like a fool when you are the king of terrorists will throw all heat off of you, so in that, Obito is a top tier Ninja in all aspects.

[@manoking9619]

I only ever watched the series and read the manga every once in a while at my school library. There was absolutely no hint that Tobi was anything more than comic relief until his reveal to Sasuke. So I always have a hard time believing when people say that they suspected this guy was Obito- someone who was never even named until Shippuden. I think it was fairly well hinted at that Tobi was lying about being Madara during the 5 Kage summit, as even the kages were sceptical. I just don't see how people picked up on this so fast before the backstory reveal with Obito's death. (Just got to the part of your video were you said the backstory came out earlier in the manga, now it makes sense).

[@Beck-tr7dd]

It wasn't obvious but there were definitely reasons to believe he was something more. Both my cousin and I guessed he was Obito, it wasn't the most obvious reveal but there were hints something was going on. Him being this wacky character in the middle of the Akatsuki was itself weird, but there were also a few moments where Kishimoto hinted at something going on before the revelation.

[@manoking9619]

@@Beck-tr7dd I believe it, but I've never been good at guessing twists anyway so I want to know what made other people suspicious other than the juxtaposition of a comedic relief character in an otherwise threatening organization.

[@groudonvert7286]

The anime added a hint there was something more in a filler episode where Tobi breaks character.

[@sparkzero1574]

obito is a schizo just like me fr. After Rin died Obito pretty much had a full mental breakdown, and going forward he disassociated his entire life even going as far to say he "rejects this reality." Through that disassociation and derealisation, he naturally got stuck in his own head and went insane (Madara's heart tag only deepened these negative emotions). But my belief is that Tobi is the amalgamation of his younger self, and the absurdness of this world; he saw what was left of the world after rin was gone and couldnt help but see it as a JOKE. Btw there is one and only one moment that i can think of when Tobis actions could let us believe that there was something more to him, ex: After he and Deidara collected the 4 tails, Obito just layed down on the beasts stomach seemingly lost in thought, then Deidara questions him while hes riding a clay bird thats dragging the 4 tails (One of the biggest reasons rin died). In short Tobi is the joker... society.

Obito developed a borderline personality after Rin died or it's the insane Zetsu part of him.

Man got crushed in half, then became a half blind cripple trapped in a cave with no one else for company but decrepit Madara and two plant monsters for years. Makes a bit of a mental and physical recovery after learning how to use his plant goo prosthetic limbs to gain his mobility back, goes outside for the first time in years and the first thing he sees is his rival impaling his love interest like he’s Griffith beating on Cascas cheeks. Coming out the other end of that a bit schizo was to be expected.

[@JBRewind]

I think it's like Spider-Man. When he has the mask on, he feels comfortable cracking every joke that pops into his head. It's also VERY common to develop an over the top sense of humor to cope with trauma.

In the begining i didnt suspect that Tobi was Obito (more cause i watch the anime so Obito doesnt come to much in a talk before) but i always thinked that tobi was some kind of a big deal first because he was already chosed to be part of anatsuki (what it was a real feat, its not just filling a form and show youre resume) and also with the time that they capture the 3 tails and while Tobi was bragging about how he do it , Deidara doubt for a second if it really was him or Tobi who beat the 3 tails so maybe he has something special
