In fact, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that providing a prior example of a "special" Sharingan may have been a large part of the reason Shisui's Sharingan was presented in the story at all. As we've been shown repeatedly, Tobi has only been using the regular Sharingan this whole time, and that's why he hasn't gone blind.
once again i really want these two uchiha to be brothers…i mean, who died for shisui to activate his mangekyo??…come on kishi, give me this. also, whenever we see tobis kamui, we never see the design of the eye…there is no certainty that he only uses normal sharingan

your hunch is correct…we both know such a page doesn't exist LOL

If it was not Obito's eye we could say that the specific eye that Tobi uses looks the same in MS/EMS mode as a normal sharingan, but now that we know that a pair of MS eyes looks the same we can assume that Tobi's eye should look like Kakashi's eye in MS mode. Also spamming MS jutsu always consumes a lot of chakra, so why would Tobi be able to spam MS? If he could then he could also spam rinnegan jutsu, but Kakashi already told us that Tobi is avoiding that. So Tobi can use this jutsu with almost no effect to his chakra level and Obito's eye, which is also a strong hint that he is not in MS mode.
-Yes, whenever we are SHOWN the eye, its normal
- when he uses super-kamui though, we never get to see the eye
- yes a pair of MS looks the same. kakashi has one…we have seen the design. since tobi has the other, it should look identical as you mention
- as itachi-san mentions, a strong hint is that MS is required for kakashi to use the technique. it may be possible i guess, but unlikely that tobi is doing this without MS power. Why do i think this? we have been told that the mangekyou is required to control the 9 tails…if the original masked man (non-swirly mask) was using obits eye as well, i assume it HAD to have MS powers otherwise he would not have gain control of kyuubi...which would be an even stronger hint that our current tobis eye is in MS mode...........(i admit, this particular point is not as strong as i would like it to be since i have other thoughts about the "other" masked man, but this will have to do for now)

this would be fun to see…but every time he absorbs, things swirl into that right eye socket. so i dunno bout that

Well maybe i was fooled by the anime, i somehow remember that the eye is shown while Tobi performs the jutsu, but now i'm not sure of it any more.
But in general, we always see MS turned on some time before the jutsu is actually performed, so why would Madara always turn on then off his MS eye. He would have to do it hundreds of times when phasing through people and teleporting to his dimension.

So i looked at Tobi's fight against Konan (around chapter 510), there after the upper part of the mask is blown off and Tobi is inside a sea of exploding tags he still has the normal sharingan while he is continuously phasing to avoid explosions. And his other eye is used up for the izanagi.

Funny that you bring that up, in that case Tobi was controlling the kyuubi the whole time, but we have never seen his eye in MS mode while he was fighting Minato and at the same time keeping the genjutsu on the kyuubi. In chapter 501 page 8 we see Tobi casting the sharingan genjutsu on the kyuubi, as he takes control over the kyuubi it's eye is first a normal sharingan then some forms a special pattern (obviously the reason is if the kyuubi had a sharingan eye while destroying Konoha then the Uchiha clan would be blamed immediately after the attack by the whole village), and Tobi's eye is shown with blood veins which usually means the sharingan being used for a difficult jutsu which means that it was Obito's eye used for it and not another hidden sharingan behind the mask, and the eye is a normal sharingan.

Damn! Just when things are getting good - hopefully more Naruto vs Tobi next week, unless we get back to the kage curbstomp or Orochimaru (always good)

It doesn't need to activated to control the kyuubi...if you have the MS you can control the 9tails as mentioned in the manga...thus obitos right eye LIKELY uses MS power because 1)we see kakashi MS for the same technique and 2)obito eye was used to control the 9tails as u mentioned...

Didn't say he can't.

Then with the exception of what you mentioned, let's go back to my point. We have some facts from the author. Though everything seems to be pointing towards Obito being Tobi there are a few loose ends. Just wondering if anybody else can make heads or tails out of it while we wait for the next chapter.

Itachi's eyes went out after only 7 or so years of usage (and I doubt he ever used them that much), yet Tobi has been using the same eye for more than twice as long with no problems (to the eye). So...what's up with that...?
His body made of Hashirama DNA probably stops or at least considerably slows down the side effect of MS use. That and the rate at which the MS close itself is entirely dependent on the plot.

That's fine then because Tobi physically travelled underground in the manga as well.

Anyhow Tobi can't be Madara or part of Madara -playful of serious. They are nothing alike in personality, power, figthing style, appearance and knowledge. No, the sad truth is that it's increasingly probable that Tobi is Obito.
Not Obito's eye or Obito's body or his captured soul or whatever. Just Obito, period.
Hell his laughable rant about heros and Kakashi even explains his reaction when he told Sasuke about Izuna's ultimately useless sacrifice. He gave his eye to his brother in arm so he could save the girl he was infatuated with but she ended up dead anyway so woe is me. Let's fuck the world so everybody can dream happily ever after.

God this is boring.
If Rin is indeed dead, then this really could be why Tobi/Obito ( if they are the same people) is doing what he is doing. Maybe we will get a Kakashi Gaiden part 2 . This is a really good theory indeed imo and it wouldn't be that surprising ( Imo) if kishi took this path.

Or maybe a reverse could also be possible. Maybe Kakashi had a mission with Rin in which he prioritized saving his friends over the mission or maybe he tried to sacrifice himself to save the said members but then Rin sacrificed herself to save him. Or maybe He actually did save his fellow Ninja in said mission and had to endure the same treatment that his father had to deal with. Or anything/something else along these lines.

Tobi/obito having seen that the world doesn't change, he then tried to change the world his own way.

In that case, not sure why it was mentioned somewhere above that the jutsu Tobi used to get those mines setup was anime exclusive. Thought the posters were talking about something else I missed. Nonetheless, it didn't even occur to me before that traveling underground was a jutsu given that ninjas in this universe walk on water as often as they swam.

If you guys are That adamant on a simple statement I made then I could just retract it.

Or change it to, "Outside of using summoning techniques and space-time warping Tobi chooses not to use any other jutsus that often for whatever reason".

LOL happy?

^You're confusing two different jutsus. The 'whack a mole' (or whatever it was called) is an anime only jutsu, but the jutsu used to travel underground comes from the manga (that was the jutsu we were discussing).

Thanks for clarifying.

Somehow, reading this I'm glad it was "anime only" as far as I'm concerned.

which is why he said " The Ultimate power of the Sharingan will be Mine! Uchiha Madara's Power!"

so...

Madara = Sith Lord
Obito = Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker
Convinced me, that's the only way Tobi could be Obito and right now it seems to be the most likely theory.

Tobi = obito's father. He knew his sharingan was special so he tracked him until he could take it for himself. I think this will be potentially revealed via sasuke and orochimaru.

I think it's interesting that Tobias isn't a ba guy. If he was he would have killed kakashi a long time ago imo. And when you look back hoe many people has tobi actually killed?
The Anbu guarding the kyuubi,
A bunch of jinchuriki,
Konan, and Fu/torune (who tried to kill him first)

Idk it's just interesting (or convenient on kishi's part) that tobi would let kakashi keep that sharingan which is now shown to be the key to defeating him.

Yeah, since Obito is a good guy, we really can relate him to Nagato, Nagato was a good guy when he was a kid, then he became a bad guy when he met Tobi by a false Idealism.

Nagato did said something good before which is "Someday I will break the curse, If there's such a thing as peace I will find it"

so Obito can be a bad guy,

the only thing that's bothering that TObi is not Obito is because of the TObi vs. Minato fight and KOnan vs. TObi fight

In chapter 552... Itachi said something important to Naruto.. its in page 7-8.. he said
Spoiler for BIG:

"You start to forget about others, To be Arrogant and to be attached to your Ego,... ONE DAY YOU WILL BECOME JUST LIKE MADARA"


so If Naruto can become evil just like Madara, why not obito??

Still not sold on the whole Obito thing. Would prefer it be Rin who later took Obito's eye.

Have any obito=tobi supporters been able to explain their age gap?
How was obito fighting minato?

What if tobi is not only obito's father but madara's son too?

It is clear that tobi is from the hidden leaf because:
He appears to be an uchiha - not confirmed
He had beef with the uchiha - he helped itachi slay the clan (to avenge his father?)
He knows about the various ninja of konoha - kakashi in particular (maybe because he was on his potential son's team) but also shikamaru/the Nara clan (when he steals the jar and shikamaru catches him in kagemane)
Has a relationship with danzo - unknown but who was on danzo's team if hiruzen trained the sannin?

The purpose of his mask is not to hide his identity from the reader (hiding a character we have seen before) but to hide his identity from the other ninja in the story.
So I really really don't see it being obito unless time travel justsu is involved, and although Kishi likes dbz, he doesn't need to go that big of an asspull route.

The argument was not if Tobi has the MS, he has even the rinnegan so he obviously has the MS and EMS too. It was about the quesion: does he need to activate his MS/EMS in order to do kamui or for example control the kyuubi. And i think he doesn't need it, which indicates that by having the body made of copied cells from the 1st hokage he he has become a lesser/weaker version of the sage of 6 paths.
