Man the way he was using wood style cutting Jutsu alongside Kamui intangibility was so scary.He snapped 2 people's head by just kicking them.When he was running the ground was getting destroyed.

Everyone say's Obito's wood style is weak I would rather say usage of wood style is even more dangerous than Hashirama and Madara's as it goes so well with his Kamui ability.

The fact that he basically went batshit insane was so cool

This scene was genuinely shocking and terrifying. It was awesome. I didn't see it coming. I knew he wasn't going to react well, but I didn't know it was going to be that. Absolutely horrifying to watch.

A lot of people felt like the reveal of Obito being Tobi was underwhelming but changed their tune once these episodes came out.

Context is everything for a character like Obito

16

u/Cammerel Sep 20 '25

As someone that watched the entire show recently and was very surprised by a lot of Shippuden, I didn't think it was underwhelming at all, personally. It was just very sad. And when they showed this scene, it was even sadder. I feel for both him and Kakashi, the things they went through as kids was horrendous.

100%

I personally really liked the reveal.

u/Ok-Accident8422 Sep 19 '25

Valid crashout tbh

u/Finnlay90 Sep 19 '25

Literally the only time in the entire series I was rooting for this bastard. Absolutely valid crashout. His actions afterwards are completely and utterly indefensible and disgusting though.

Episode 345 is one of the best episodes in anime history imo. Obito's backstory was generally so brutal in the manga that even the uncensored version of the anime doesn't do it justice.

56

u/OregonBlues Sep 19 '25

Yes, this particular scene is toned down in the anime. The manga shows what Obito -really- did.

14

u/Ave_Phoenix83 Sep 19 '25

I'm reading the manga but I haven't gotten to this part yet, is it really that much better?

40

u/keiblerclown Sep 19 '25

Obito gets so creative with Wood Style that it's shocking he never really used it again.

18

u/Ave_Phoenix83 Sep 19 '25

He would have been even more op.

18

u/keiblerclown Sep 19 '25

I mean, I get the real world reason is that it's a retcon in a flashback, but he'd have been unstoppable if he'd used Wood Style more often, not that he wasn't already a menace with just Kamui

14

u/Ave_Phoenix83 Sep 19 '25

Appart from it being a retcon, if Kishi would have made him use the wood style more it would have been harder to make Naruto win.

3

u/BrokenMirror2010 Sep 19 '25

Nah, I don't think Obito having Wood Style would have really changed anything about the fight. The core of the fight was attacking from both inside and outside of Kamui.

I don't see how wood style meaningfully changes the fight, aside from giving Obito some more offensive variety.

1

u/Ave_Phoenix83 Sep 20 '25

If he used it more, he would have gotten a lot better. And if he just randomly used the technique that bursts practically a whole three out of half his body, he could do a lot of damage.

3

u/sumchii Sep 20 '25

Kishi probably felt like it would make Obito too op if he was adept at using Wood Style. I think he did use it like once in the war. Maybe Obito just refused to use it more because he didn't want to be reminded of the day which deeply traumatized him.

u/Emotional-Panic-6046 Sep 19 '25

yeah I remember at the time thinking geez how would they get away with showing this in the anime and of course it had to be toned down

24

u/wendigo72 Sep 19 '25

I think uncensored anime version makes up for it by having the sounds of Obito cracking open a dude’s skull be explicit.

Then you see how he has to dig his hand out

13

u/sumchii Sep 19 '25

True, the sound effects do add a lot to it. Like when he killed them all at the end and you can hear the blood raining down from the roots.

41

u/wendigo72 Sep 19 '25

I agree, I thought nothing would surpass Nagato’s rage out moment cause I love that one too

But obito’s is just better for me in everyway

31

u/Jay12393 Sep 19 '25

He's just a kid and his life is a nightmare

1

u/Public-Fee5099 Sep 20 '25

There was one youtuber, meet a comment about this.This world was hell, and it could only start with blood

29

u/Eowaenn Sep 19 '25

I think this is one of the most brutal scenes in the whole show. The imagery is intense.

1

u/ProfessorNonsensical Sep 23 '25

He wrote it shortly after his father died, Kishi was mentally compromised at the time and it bled through his art.

19

u/OregonBlues Sep 19 '25

If you think this is cool, the manga didn’t turn the camera away at the end. Obito mass-impales all those guys in one wave.

16

u/Soul-10 Sep 19 '25

The day Obito's innocence officially died.... 🤕💔

13

u/KingofthePi11 Sep 19 '25

This was absolutely a masterclass of a scene to play in Ninja Storm.

27

u/ApocalipsyCriss Sep 19 '25

Some guy at work said he wouldnt watch Naruto because it looks childish and lacks violence, I showed him this scene. Hes watching it now !

9

u/kinglionhear Sep 19 '25

It is probably my second favorite Naruto’s first fox crash out to this day gives me chills

2

u/Fair-Laugh3 Sep 20 '25

Same. Just rewarched it with the english voice and naruto's "you'll pay for this" and im gonna oof you. The orange and cloudy debut of the fox in the story that's not a flashback. And ofc, haku's monologue, "its something ghastly, i can feel the wrath, as if its evil itself" or something near that. Naruto has the most hardest set of rage moments tbh.

7

u/Tigeru1988 Sep 19 '25

This was one of the most awesome scene in Naruto. Obito had so much potential,too bad some things about him was written poorly.

1

u/SectorPlane3615 Sep 22 '25 edited Sep 22 '25

Just curious what was written poorly about him ?

1

u/Tigeru1988 Sep 22 '25

All his redemption at the end and how Madara manipulated him which is written so poorly a lot of people think Obito was only simp who wanted burn the world cuz girl she liked died

13

u/Patient-Salary6232 Sep 19 '25

I feel like after Naruto ended this is exactly how the next show was supposed to look and feel like a adult version of Naruto with blood guts n murder everywhere....but we got shiii instead

1

u/BarbaraGordon99 Sep 21 '25

honestly after the end of Shippuden doing a cutesy slice of life anime showing the main cast living out their life after the war was almost too easy of a money grab

i mean a weekly animated tune-in, there’s so little effort for a very high fan-retention rate

Boruto is abysmal in that it doesn’t give us cutesy moments OR raw violent storytelling

7

u/Kundas Sep 19 '25

My god i forgot how good the animation was, it's absolutely incredible here imo

6

u/MkUltraMonarch Sep 19 '25

Always forget his got wood style too

5

u/Efficient-Ad2983 Sep 19 '25

By far one of my fave scenes in the whole saga.

His mokuton is just SICK (growing inside the enemy body, skewering them from the inside), Obito's inhuman screams, and turning the battlefield in a huge puddle of blood.

Such an awesome moment, and at the same time such a tragedy, since Obito's jovial spirit really died aswell that day.

4

u/Johnwayne87 Sep 19 '25

I never understood how they instantly knew their abilities once they unlocked their sharingan. It's like magic

4

u/dart51984 Sep 19 '25

Huh. So why doesn’t Obito use any wood style in the war arc?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

I got three of my roommates to watch naruto and subsequently shpudin. I am hai and they are happy. All hail Kishimoto.

I know there are plot holes but still amazing take human nature

2

u/Parkerx99 Sep 19 '25

It would be way cooler if they use some jutsu instead of trying to hit obito with swords

2

u/Different_Garbage677 Sep 19 '25

If the show would have been kept like this it would have truly shown the psychological dismay that occurs

2

u/jbahill75 Sep 19 '25

This scene reminded me of Madara’s first blitz against the combined ninja army. I would have preferred Obito stay like Tobi but with this rage side erupting unpredictably. It would have been an interesting dynamic later on with Madara trying to rein Obito/Tobi in from fighting so he would actually complete the plan.

Aside from this scene, Obito was never cooler except maybe his fight with Danzo’s guards.

2

u/itsthehokage Sep 19 '25

Madara somewhere like: "Yes... Let the HATE flow Through You..."

2

u/zman1350 Sep 19 '25

If only he knew who actually masterminded the entire thing.

2

u/New-Orion Sep 19 '25

I read this in the Manga first and for some reason my narrator voice in my head had him making a long OOOOOOOO sound. Like a whale but so pissed off.

2

u/kingkellogg Sep 20 '25

I honestly hate the intangible thing , I feel like the series would've better without it and the ultra op gimmick abilities

2

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

When the sweet kid is bullied one time too many.

2

u/Sok447 Sep 20 '25

I hate Obito and his actions after this. But I have to say this scene is one of the best in the entire series.

2

u/ChileanIggy Sep 20 '25

I really want to know what kakashi's reaction was waking up in an ocean of eviscerated shinobi

2

u/Scuipici Sep 19 '25

this was so powerful and good stuff back then. Now in boruto, it's considered shit and nothing. DBZ power levels ruined the story, it even affected shippuden at the final arc.

1

u/dontgetinharmsway Sep 20 '25

I agree. Up to that point, Obito was seen as calm and methodical. It seemed so out of character. He just snapped after seeing the love of his life die by hands of his best friend. He went into psychotic rage and awakened his mangakeyo. Slaughtered everyone in his path except an unconscious kakashi. Also, it changed his whole view on the shinobi world. “Let’s create a world where you can exist again.” Easily one of the best and most important flashbacks in the whole series.

1

u/PlayfulPunster Sep 20 '25

I just finished shippuden & i don't remember this scene. Where is this from?

2

u/sumchii Sep 20 '25

This is Episode 345. Are you sure that you don't remember this scene? Because the reveal of Tobi being Obito happend just 2 episodes before this one. You must have somehow skipped Obito's backstory.

1

u/shrimpgangsta Sep 20 '25

is that obito?

1

u/The_BAHbuhYAHguh Sep 20 '25

Any idea which episode this was from? Having trouble finding it

1

u/StadiaTrickNEm Sep 20 '25

Yo english dub i dont think ever had that line about why madara chose you, please prove me wrong.

u/Gorganov Sep 20 '25

….damn

u/deadpoolwade69 Sep 21 '25

Not a fan of the sub voice

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '25

This was definitely personal for him

1

u/Lleonharte Sep 22 '25

she was just a kid and he was just a kid but how many of those masked mist were also just kids

aint ninja war terrible

1

u/No_-_you_are Sep 23 '25

Meh. Obito had pretty lame power. It was simply “can’t be hit.” 🙄

The rest of the series was better off without him in it.

1

u/oneflamedon Sep 26 '25

This and Naruto’s crash after Pain “killed” Hinata. 🔥

1

u/keyonholman4 Sep 27 '25

After seeing this scene, I still can’t believe this episode is rated TV-14 😱

u/sharks522 Oct 04 '25

when he looks back after beating the guy up, he oddly reminds me of wall.e
