It Is Truly Sad That The Whatever-we-are-with-Scar-with-benefits Isn't An Option 😞 I Frankly Do Not

Hm. When Itachi got him with Amaterasu post-mortem I assume Obito either used Kamui to snuff it out with vacuum or just chopped his arm off and grew a new one in a span of seconds, which is badass. What would he do against a glue trap, though?

Theoretically, first such attack would not yield much since aside from scenes with Kakashi he wears a wardrobe worth of clothes (not gay at all, Kishi, good job as always), but attempts two, three, four would potentially have a chance. Is Obito's control of Kamui good enough to only move his bare ass and not the glue particles already among his skin/zetsu cells? Would he ditch the paper but actually be unable to get rid of glue? Is it why he wears a hellish amounts of clothes up until he uses Izanagi? Because Konan drenched him in glue and now all of those are stuck to him? Is it how Konan learnt about the way around Kamui?

And the main question: if he was unable to get rid of particles but really wanted to, would he just,,, pull his skin off? Like a snake. Would Orochimaru sue him because of Copyright?

konan has amassed 600 billion glue traps. she DOES plan to kill you.

Kiss or kill

What if,,, Ryuk came to Earth to watch murder clownery but halfway through decided he preferred star-crossed lovers slow burn romance. And then spent like ten episodes trying to get Light and L together, completely fucking over both of their plans because what can they do against him?

umm, canon

The right answer was actually "Odyssey is?!"

Valid point, and now that it has been made it's ridiculous to even consider thinking otherwise. It's also one of the most hilarious things about Madara I've ever read and each word is better than the last. It's hard to be thoughtful when you are doubled over with laughter.

So I have an issue with common fandom interpretations of Hashirama and Madara. (Not together, but it applies to Hashimada too) Whenever I see Hashirama in the context of a relationship or the bedroom, he’s always either superderp or supertop. Whenever I see Madara, he’s either the smoothest dude ever or just ultra dominant.

Let me tell you something.

Madara is the man who turned Hashirama into a meme because he’s so incapable of articulating himself that when he saw his old friend and enemy he just decided to scream “HASHIRAMAAA” at him. This is the guy who can’t pee if someone looks at him while he’s doing it. This dude somehow managed to fail to convince his own clan, who he was presumably the leader and most powerful member of, to leave Konoha and ended up getting booted out.

By his own clan.

He failed charisma checks to get Hokage even when his friend and the only Hokage to exist at that point wanted him to be Hokage, and he failed so badly not one Uchiha joined him when he stormed out.

He self destructed partly because he can’t figure out that children are kind of important to have, because he saw them as brats running around his ankles. We see him with no personal bonds other than his siblings (primarily the one brother he had during his time with Hashirama) and Hashirama, and while he does manipulate quite well, it’s with violence and controlling circumstances. When he gets to ramble he sounds like a crazy old man.

He literally could not convince his own best friend to see things his way and he was one of the ones who founded the village in the first place.

Meanwhile, Hashirama became Hokage, founded and grew a village, forged the first peace between the nations, and had a wife and children. He convinced thousands of people, even those who were his enemies, to see things his way. He swayed Sasuke at least some small amount.

He had presence. He demanded respect and admiration from those around him, and even slapped down Tobirama. We’re also shown him manipulating and generally messing with people socially, not by heavily traumatizing them into a broken mess and picking up the pieces.

My point is, almost certainly, the smooth frick of the pair is Hashirama. He might also be derp, he might or might not be super top, but Hashirama is the dude to look out for. One does not successfully create a (temporary but also lasting) peace and village structure out of chaos and war without being wily.

Madara, on the other hand, is savage, a little feral, and insanely laser focused. And ultimately ended up being manipulated by a plant, like every other Uchiha ever. So. Madara probably uses his chopsticks by gripping them with his fist, stabbing through the plate, and lighting anything on fire that refuses to be skewered.

His mating call is probably just to scream at the person he’s interested in.

I’m just saying.

There’s no indicator that he’s a smooth operator anywhere ever.

Ever.

It's actually so funny because just today I read a post about why Putin did not meet up with an important social media guy (the one who created Russian VK and after it was taken over by the government to spy on people he moved away and created Telegram with the specific intention of it not being possible to use to spy). The message quite literally read "it's because Putin is an old-school KGB agent and simply does not comprehend how important Durov (the guy) is; it is incorrect to compare him with Trump, who uses Twitter, interacts with bloggers and had organised a takeover online". And then I go here and read this. The perspective decides everything, heh? 😁

(just to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth: I am not saying Trump is some sort of Internet guru or something, but expressing my amusement at the comparison of the two posts with completely opposite opinions that, however, do not actually contradict each other)

((I also am not sold on Putin being ignorant about Durov but that's neither here nor there))

Trump Falls For AI-Generated Taylor Swift Fans In Kooky Endorsement Claim: 'I Accept!'

The former president shared a number of fake "Swifties for Trump" pictures including one that's clearly labelled "satire."

Donald Trump had a “love story” for fake photos indicating that Taylor Swift fans are backing the Republican presidential nominee on Sunday.

The former president took to Truth Social to share screenshots from social media accounts that depict women wearing “Swifties for Trump” tees, however, a majority of the pictures appeared to be generated by artificial intelligence.

If we are being technical about it, Obito definitely regretted a lot of political and economical miscalculations or coincidences he did not or could not predict 😅

Aside from every major or personally hurtful fail...

Frankly, I do not think Minato's death and everything around it would make it on the list of regrets - partially because, well, Minato did fail Kakashi, the only kid he was still responsible for, big time, and quite a lot of Obito's reasoning was about "well, I suffer, Kakashi suffers, let's drop this gig"; also, not being there for Rin (which was like a year before N's birth?). Main reason, though, imo is that Obito was in a very bad place then, conviction-wise. You can't convince me that he completely switched his world view in a year, it's just not done, his brain would not have dropped the associations and thought patterns it got used to so fast. So, he definitely felt at least somewhat guilty, after. And what do you do if you are guilty over something you did for "the greater good"? You rationalise why it was okay or a right/only decision. (See Dumbledore sending Harry to Dursley). The seal would have broken anyway, Kushina would definitely have died from it, Minato would likely still sacrifice himself one way or another, no matter if Obito made some rude small talk and controlled the beast or not. And the concept would have stuck to the point where it is a fact that Obito didn't question anymore.

Kiri is unlikely for the same reason, "Yagura would've still done it, I just chose the specific actions"/ "those kids would've died anyway, only causing even more bloodshed prior to that", etc. Plus, of course, personal vendetta.

Massacre? Dunno, really depends on what his relationship with the clan really was, if he had any positive interaction with anyone, if his grandma was still alive why is it never touched on??? If they were just a bunch of rich folk who refused to associate with him I guess it wouldn't be that hard. Besides, again, Danzo assigned Itachi to do it anyway. Ostracizing Uchiha? As far as I recall Obito did not do anything about it aside from controlling Kurama, so it was actually the justification, the proof of how rotten the world was, the fellow villagers hating so easily, Uchiha turning to violence as solution, Hokage allowing it because friendship goals. It's also easy to dehumanise people if you do not let them talk to you as you kill them after being absent for almost ten years. Just another shinobi to fall, and what do a last name and clan insignia even mean in the large picture?

Kisame is likely to be a regret. I'd feel guilty over being the reason for his death, especially since the secrets he was keeping were a moot point. Deidara, maybe, if we think that Obito liked the kid?

Aside from those, Onto does not strike me as a person who regrets the actions, unless they concerned specific people he cherished - and there were super few of those. Otherwise it's "Welp, I'm a bad apple, shame about it" and just embracing it all. I'd add Kakashi, but he was more of a collateral, except for when "Tobi" reveal happened, and the Chidori scene, but that does not really seem to count since it was part of the ongoing situation at that moment.

TL;DR

Not many regrets whatsoever. Maybe missing the shark and regretting making a fool of himself when negotiating for trade routes through Kiri when he was like 17. Otherwise, he either felt like he made no difference because of the shinobi society's inherent violence and flaws, or had convinced himself he was right and justified even if originally he might've not thought so.

In one of my last posts, I mentioned that there are probably some actions that Obito has little or no regrets about doing. What do you think that would be?

No idea when it was posted because I only vaguely understand how this place functions (not very healthily, I've been assured), but we now have an animated proof of that, which makes this comment so much funnier, because it's been proven to be pure truth.
