I was also applying the last time Rin's death was brought up, which was when kakashi was in 'limbo' or w/e. The way he spoke there was as if he screwed up, or couldn't do anything to prevent Rin's death, like he ruined the promise he had made with Obito.

(It's been a while since I looked back that far and read that specific chapter, so maybe I'm wrong, but that's something that stuck with me.) So Kakashi 'killing Rin' like we're seeing now, seems way outta left field...OR....

...this. I was just about to mention the fact that 'you let rin die' vs. 'you killed rin' vs. any other variation of that detail could just have been a translator thing, or something else. What Obito was saying and what he meant/what we read vs what was implied are very different things...all we know, Rin is dead, Obito blames Kakashi and what we're seeing is playing out to go that way.
