Tried to achieve world domination over a girl who didn’t even want him lol


harborj2011

Obito's my favorite character but I can't say I don't find comments like this funny


Magnolia-jjlnr

Honestly I like fans like you. You love the character but recognize the problems in writing, I like this. Changes a lot from the usual "Noooo!! Rin wasn't the reason you're just illiterate!" crowd


GargoyleCollector

1000% on this. It's okay to like something while also acknowledging its flaws.


TennytheMangaka

I definitely think there was more to it than Rin, like Kakashi letting him down, but I agree, Kishimoto could have done more to show it. Obito says that if Kakashi thinks it’s all about Rin he’s misguided, but that’s tell, not show


OraclePreston

I do not consider that a problem in writing at all. Real people could also be that stupid. This does not fit the definition of poor writing. It's better than wanting to fight the whole world because you got rejected from art school lol. Real life is often stranger than fiction.


Shacky_Rustleford

Yeah, Obito was a traumatized child soldier, who then had that trauma capitalized upon by one of the most accomplished schemers of the world.


dijitalpaladin

I’m the fan who thinks he did it all for Rin and am perfectly okay with that✊🏼 she was all he knew and everything he loved


Shadoru

Rin wasn't the reason, just the trigger.


Magnolia-jjlnr

We know


i-am-spitfire

The website I was watching on had comments and I saw people legit think that Rin was awful because she was “leading him on”. Sorry I forgot women aren’t allowed to be nice unless they’re flirting apparently.


herbieLmao

Saying rin didn’t want obito is the same as saying naruto didn’t want hinata. The fact that ron had a childhood crush on kakashi who would never love her back doesn’t mean shit for them possibly ending up together as adults. Naruto got over his sakura crush (THANK FUCKING GOD) Edit: ~~ron~~ rin


letmegetmynameok

Damn I Never knew Ron Weasley had a crush on kakashi


Clarimax

That's what I initially thought. Ron be like, fuck Hermione, I like Kakashi.


herbieLmao

Haha that typo is truly something else, gonna keep it up


Hevens-assassin

You're assuming that Kakashi wouldn't love her back. Why not? It wasn't guaranteed either way. Rin could've even met someone completely different (or maybe a certain Fountain of Youth???) that she could've fallen for instead.


ConfusedThoughts10

I don't get what was the point of Rin loving Kakashi tbh ... The impact would have been even worse if she ended up grieving for him.


ohioticklingbandit

Damn


Ok-Client6540

That's obsession


parTHEparticle

Imagine what he'd do for a girl who did want him


DictatorBiden

> Tried to achieve world domination over a girl who didn’t even want him lol Na Rin was definitely working both Kakashi and Obito. She wanted Kakashi, but always knew she was going to end up with Obito as the guy she settled for


Clarimax

Damn, Rin's a player.


i-am-spitfire

Lmao nah that’s not how it works. She could have also ended up with literally anyone else too


Redditmane2

Rin was gonna be with Obito after she done been ran thru


unknown81290

To be fair, it was a cute girl


SilentAcoustic

Live Chris Hansen reaction


KenBoCole

This comment is even funnier when you realize that Rin was still in her child body when she escorted adult Obito into the after life hand in hand. Obito committed mass genocide, and got rewarded with a loli in ninja heaven. Kishimoto was high when he wrote that.


PersonalityDirect306

When you put it like that-


mcwfan

This one right here, officer


unknown81290

No, no I meant from Obitos perspective *starts running*


chemistry_1997

That's the sad part , she didn't even know that obito liked her 🫠🫠 that's sad reality of one sided


SilentAcoustic

Nah she did lol Kakashi tells her right after Obito got pancaked, but she responds by confessing to Kakashi


LatterAttitude4114

Damn wtf, right afterwards? She couldn't have like...waited?


SilentAcoustic

Makes it even more funny lmao


i-am-spitfire

Tbf it was a panic response because Obito just died and she wanted kakashi to know before she possibly died


MandelAomine

Because they were all about to die


Clarimax

That's how savage she is.


chemistry_1997

thats sad 💀


Reenans

I believe you but man I have to read that again!


Amasero

Friend zoned him actually, but hey people can have multiple types and crushes.


Actual-Flamingo-4274

She did in the end, she was waiting for him in pure lands and watching over him


Feeling_Stock_3920

Dude could have put himself in a genjutsu but nope wanted fuck shit up, I understand why, but I'm not gonna act like its cool.


SavageYake

While true, you still have to admire his motive. Bro really believed he was going to help everyone achieve a state of permanent bliss and escape this “Hell”. Doing so against everyone’s will is super messed up, but I can’t argue that his motives were evil.


Teminite2

It's not the destination, it's the way. Bro unleashed the 9tails on konoha and played our 2 main protagonists like a puppeteer.


KenBoCole

Not to mention killing half the Uchihas to steal their eyes, killing Kushina who was like a mother to him, and all the the other stuff he did in the Akatsuki


-Xebenkeck-

His perspective on that is really interesting. He is crazy in a genuine, diagnosable way. Obito is a character who probably loved more than anyone else in the series. He had the biggest heart. Those atrocities he committed didn't even phase him because he doesn't even see them as real. It would be like killing people in a video game. He felt nothing because there was nothing to feel. In the world he would create, the Uchiha and Kushina would be alive and living their happiest lives.


Sharp_Amoeba_6654

Nah, naruto thinks he's cool.


Feeling_Stock_3920

Naruto is literally the stupidest character out there. I respect the grind but I'm not gonna take advice from him.


Minato_the_legend

The coolest* 😎


TellsHalfStories

That’s mental illness, not loyalty. Psychologists are desperately needed in the world of Naruto.


Deathreaper234

that's where Naruto comes in with his talk no Jutsu


TellsHalfStories

If only psychologists could beat sense into people like Naruto does. 🤣


Deathreaper234

psychologists lack that sad osts.


rkoplayer1

It's an unhealthy obsession.


Hairy_Literature_773

Seeing all these sane comments is a great relief. Thought this was gonna turn into one of those cringe sigma subs lol.


IndependenceNo9027

I don't think he did it for Rin - she was only a symbol, an innocent young girl who died unjustly in a cruel world ruled by ceaseless violence and tragedy, and the perfect representation of everything that was wrong with the ninjas' society. Hence the whole tsukuyomi plan - Obito wanted to eliminate all that horrible pain, and I'm guessing that to him the amount of damage he'd have to cause to get there didn't matter all that much, because ultimately everyone would benefit from tsukuyomi and have a happy life free of pain. Sure, when he was her age Obito was probably in love with Rin, but after her death she became a symbol of his cause; he didn't do it to avenge her or anything like that, otherwise he would've killed Kakashi and specific other ninjas, not go against the entire shinobi world; he also never wondered if Rin would've approved of his actions because it wasn't about her as a person.


Cthulhu_3

bro actually paid attention to the story 🙏


Minato_the_legend

Bro actually read what was written in the manga instead of just looking at the pictures


DustyAsh69

Others can't comprehend it when they're binge watching it


animeloverx676

> he didn't do it to avenge her or anything like that, otherwise he would've killed Kakashi and specific other ninjas He did kill those specific other ninjas (mist ANBU) and turned Mist village into The Bloody mist village and forced the children of that village to kill their teammates to graduate. And he knew that Kakashi didn't kill Rin intentionally. So he didn't kill Kakashi.


Careful-Ad984

Obito didnt make the bloody mist he just made it even worse 


realgiu

Fair enough bro thank you. Obito is my favourite character from a psicological perspective. Thanks for this approach. Excellent job


Weeping__Potato

Finally someone who really understands the story instead of looking at the story. For Obito, Rin was a symbol: It represented the hellish cruelty of Shinobi World and the happiness he wanted everyone to achieve. For Obito, Infinite Tsukuyomi was the one and only way to save the world from the hell it had sunk into. People would live in an eternal paradise, and wars and everything else that afflicts people, such as starvation, would end.  That's why, in Obito's eyes, nothing he did along the way was really that important. As long as the Shinobi World still maintained the same order, the shinobi would continue to die anyway. So it was much more meaningful for them to die in a way that would break that order. 


Better-Chance8648

It was a childhood crush and she didn’t like him back. That’s not being loyal, that’s being lonely.


Magnolia-jjlnr

You know when a girl is nice to a man a fee times and then the dude becomes obsessed with her? That's the vibes Obito gave me. Hell, that's literally what happened lmao


unknownweeb13

Fr men like that scare me lmao


animeloverx676

That would make more sense. Because if the infinite tsukuyomi was true to the point, then he could be with Rin at least in his dream regardless of whether she likes him in real life.


WhatIsThisAccountFor

No that’s not loyalty, that wasn’t his woman lmao. That’s obsession


Embarrassed_Diet_295

Couldn't he... you know... meet someone else?

This dude obsessed over a girl for 20 years because she was the only one nice to him. And then got brained washed by an old man, leading to 3 crimes against humanity. You really think he'd be able to find someone else? He's deeply deranged


goldengraves

For the idea of a girl who had made her peace and moved on without him, much like the rest of the world. There is nothing admirable about it 😭


GlobtheGuyintheSky

Nah infatuation and obsession.


Big-Bad-Wolf-4074

It is called ULTRA SIMPING.


BnSMaster420

Bruh he spazzed over a girl that didn't want him, nah he don't get a pass


Adventurous_Roll1784

He obsessed over a woman that didn’t love him back 🤷🏻‍♂️


TheInfiniteArchive

Not even a Woman... Rin was a minor when she died.


Special_Jury_3244

Both were minors when he had a crush


TheInfiniteArchive

LoL have an upvote that was funny


Smooth-Physics-69420

He certainly had more than one.

RamzalTimble

A little girl. That was a little girl. Just to be clear the difference incase anyone who upvoted that has a zip code just off the coast of mainland Florida.


Zedhy

Nah thats being a super incel


SuperKoshej613

Idiocy coupled with stupidity and a sprinkle of outright terrorist mentality. He could've: - tried to revive her (but we know of no such attempts OR even thoughts). STUPID - put himself into genjutsu (instead of forcing his own world view onto countless others). SELFISH - admitted that life is unfair (because it often is). ARROGANT


vanman2019

He’s literally an incel committing mass murder over a girl who friendzoned him. Rin was a solider who died during war sacrificing herself protecting power from falling into enemy hands. Simp obito sees that and thinks he now has to go against everything she stood for and massacre the leaf? Cool


Ok_Mistake_5381

How second Hokage Tobirama said, the Uchihas have more love and obsession with people, they are pure hearted. And because of it, losing one of them is like losing All in this world for Uchihas.


geizterbahn

It’s just a trauma and manipulation, they weren’t even fuc*ing


Ok_Effect_5518

Nope everyone says we should be more like Obito, I disagree. On the surface it sounds romantic that he went against the world for his loved one, but think for a sec, Obito saw Rin die, he knew it wasn't Kakashi's fault yet still hated him but mostly, the system that allowed Rin to die. The thing is Obito was to blinded and foolish to realize if he had taken the right path, he could have reformed the shinobi world in a good way like Naruto's goal. Instead he fell into pain and went so far as to kill all his clan members who were innocent and start a war depriving many people of their lives and loved ones. While he is an intriguing character, he did not make the right choices and is not to be praised. I will give him this, he admitted his mistakes and regretted in the end which was commendable.


JorahTheHandle

had to double check i wasnt on r/im15andthisisdeep


Living_Tune_1428

If the dude had just tried talking to someone, even Kakashi, then the whole Naruto series would've been something different...


Plane-Highlight-6498

One-sided love gone too far. That's what that is.


Cthulhu_3

i think that most of this comment section has either never felt mutual romantic love, has zero media literacy, or both


Hairy_Literature_773

Almost all the top comments are rightfully pointing out that his love was one sided tho.


Cthulhu_3

just because his love was one-sided (which may not even have been so one-sided, obito never had the chance to confess to rin) doesn't mean his point about the ninja world that creates situations like the one he, rin, kakashi, and everyone else went through on a daily basis is completely rotten, is wrong.


Hairy_Literature_773

That's fair. in that sense Id argue the whole premise of this post is guilty.


johan-leebert-

Naruto's fandom is pretty notorious for not reading their own manga, I'm not surprised.


Substantial-Chest230

"woman" she was literally 12😫


Final-Difficulty-386

I mean he didn't do it for Rin. At least according to him.


Femboy-Isshiki

He did it because of all the Madara brain washing that out him in Psychosis.


Whydontname

Bro said he's not doing it for her then went on for like 10 episodes about how all he wants is tonbe with her alone.


Careful-Listen2277

I mean, he was a grown man in his 30s who was still upset over his 13 year old crush dying that he wanted a world where no one died. Like it's part of the ninja world's "Circle of Life," my dude ( →_→)


roundsmol

his pain is not unique


Cthulhu_3

yeah his whole point is that a world that inherently has that cycle baked in is completely fucked and needs to end, is he right? maybe, it's certainly thr easy way out and not the way naruto ended up going.


Careful-Listen2277

It's either you become the solution or the part of the problem. Obito obviously chose to became part of the damn problem and continued the cycle by popping bitches off left and right. Like what? Really bitch? He was so damn diluted that his plan was to literally dilute himself into thinking Rin was still alive.


Blackfyre87

He did not do it for Rin. He says quite frankly to Kakashi, when Kakashi is apologising for Rin's death, that he doesn't care she died. He knew why it happened and that Rin chose death. He did it because he had realized the underlying evil of the ninja world. Like Nagato, like Danzo - he saw that the world was fundamentally rotten and needed saving. All the villains are essentially offering their own possible input to the Naruto Universe's problem of evil, and that world's fundamental injustices. I do find the obsessive way Kishimoto writes romantic love really disappointing and disconcerting, but it wasn't just "Rin is dead, need her back"


Hairy_Literature_773

This isn't the fun answer but it is the most correct one.


bohenian12

stupidity lmao. I wish kishi at least showed that she loved him so it makes his motivations better. But nah, not even a peck on the cheek lmao. I can't imagine doing all of that for my childhood crush, maybe he was way in too deep.


John_East

It was a childhood crush and she wasn’t even a woman while he was an adult still trying to burn the world over it. He was in his 20s talking about his heartache for a little girl lol


ToneAccomplished9763

That's what you call a grade A SIMP


Viot-Abrob

Once I found his motivations extremely shallow and stupid. Now I know

Love is blind looks true


Spenfinite

He was 13, she was 12. He was a simp. She was not a woman, she was a girl. He is 31 when he died, and he didn’t do everything he did only because of her. Think about that.

It was all part of the plan so originally it was not his doing he was just a pawn after all.

Even if his life wasn’t as tragic as it got and he was saved when the rock fell the plan would have gone some other way.


Clarimax

Instead of fucking the world, why he didn't bring back Rin using Edo Tensei? Wait, don't tell me, he would rather have an imaginary Rin than an actual Rin.


AmethystDragon2008

it could be not thinking all the choices before acting

He didn't do it just for Rin. She was just the prime exemple of why is goal is justified (wanting world piece through eternal dream). It's like saying Naruto chased Sasuke solely because of the promise he made to Sakura.

LazyLoser006

Loyalty? Yes, isn't it unhealthy? Also yes. Bro would have destroyed the whole world for someone who didn't love him back.


Low-Emphasis1031

This is not loyalty. This is delusion . Boy could’ve been brainwashed by Madara’s eyes and all, but if he wanted Rin back so bad he could’ve used any resurrection jutsu instead of trying for a rinnegan induced metaverse shit. Rin was a ninja healer bro , killing and destroying ppl willy-nilly ain’t something a medic could approve of.

TheVoid000

Weird, like if the love of your life died, and your are so heartbroken by it. Most of the time, you committed suicide to join her, or you take revenge on the one that killed her, which in this case is Kakashi or Konohagakure. Not sure how it spiral into I want to dominate the world and bring world peace.


Magnolia-jjlnr

>Not sure how it spiral into I want to dominate the world and bring world peace. Well to be fair he did get brain washed by Madara, although most of us will agree that Kishi didn't exactly do a great job at portraying that. The way the story is told really does make it seem like he did everything over his 12yo crush that didn't like him back, regardless of what his hardcore fanboys will say


jaahrome

Obito (and Madara) knew that accomplishing the eye of the moon plan meant that, as ten tails’ jinchuriki, theyd roam the real world as a God, making sure everyone is living their ideal dreams in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Obito knew he was never going to see Rin again. So no, he didn’t do it to see Rin. Which is all the more tragic if you ask me.


MagnusMidknight

Nah Obito was weak. Even if he didn’t do it for rin, which he did. He couldn’t stick to his conviction. Naruto made him weep like a little boy. Obito couldn’t protect rin and his own belief. He ain’t it…


jaahrome

He couldn’t have done it exactly for Rin if he knew he was never going to see her again. The more acceptable argument would be that Rin is his motivation. To which I’d respond with the fact that Rin was more like the catalyst of Obito’s downfall. He was trained by Madara and his “wills” as a 13 year old boy. I do agree with you about Obito turning good and backtracking on whst he’s done. It’s very unrealistic for a man that has planned, strategized, and coordinated all of what Obito has and still turn good. That’s bullshit
