Naruto Thread (Spoilers For Sure)

Honestly, the fact that so many people guessed it was Obito simply because of half-assed joke guessing from his name being an anagram of sorts with Tobi then added how many years of hype to the reveal just to be something everyone already knew in the first place.

Well, how about the fact he appeared to have one eye- and later when that eye was revealed to have Sharingan? That was respectable speculation fuel at least. And there were people who seriously tried to stretch the connection even further by mentioning his hair, but that's incredibly far-fetched and incredibly wishful thinking.

And yeah, the name thing is way too easy. It's not even really an anagram- basically just his name backwards minus the 'o'. If you wrote out the Japanese syllables: O-bi-to to To-bi.
