i guess they translated it wrong when the titles first came out because its "Secret of the transportation technique/Ninjutsu"
anyway, i really liked this one. entertaining from beginning to end, good animation, and the long awaited reveal. Ok it wasn't officially said yet but its pretty clear at this point who Tobi is.
The way the reveal tied into the explanation of Tobi's phasing ninjutsu was perfect. and how it just left Kakashi quivering at the realization.
other than that, Tobi felt really.... beatable. Now im thinking infinite madara will be the end game.
Tobi was also supposed to be all white and gooey, right? Way to go Kakashi (2nd favourite ninja if Itachi is #1).
Still, I wonder how the first Kamui attack on the Gedou statue failed?
edit:hoh.. interesting.. I rewatched that part again, and when Kakashi was using kamui, Tobi physically dodged Naruto's attack instead of teleporting like he normally does. Either he did that to avoid "overlapping" his body with the Gedou statue in another dimension.. or it was the key to stopping Kamui somehow.

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think Tobi may have shifted his Kamui to negate Kakashi's at that point.
Didn't Tobi simply bring back the part Kakashi sucked away? It's the same dimension, after all, and Tobi obviously has much better control over it than Kakashi ever dreamed about.
Yeah, it's super obvious who Tobi is now(and I was SO shocked guys!).
In what way?
Tobi's powers all requires physical contact. The fact that Kakashi can suck things in from hundreds of feet away already makes him seem more powerful.
Seems like Obito's eyes both have similar, but not identical powers. One has range. The other doesn't, but can be used on yourself in various ways.
Not as different as, say, Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi. But certainly more diverse that Shusui's "exact same ability in both eyes".
At least since he doesn't have two Sharingan, he shouldn't be able to use Susano'o.
I'm curious. I wonder if, instead of implanting someone else's Mangekyo into yours to get an EMS, if you can take two MS from the same person to make one EMS?
Like if they defeat Tobi, can Kakashi use Tobi's MS to keep his from going blind?
If this really is the last arc though it's for more likely that most of these eyes are going to end up destroyed by the end of the arc. Either through overuse, or though Izanagi or something.
Hmm... Yeah. A good point. I suppose the other eye might allow better control but requires physical control, whereas the other works from distance but doesn't allow Kakashi to pull off the fancy stuff like bringing back stuff from that other dimension nor transport himself (or somebody else) safely there and back.
And then a nail, and a missile.
This actually makes me wonder if Obito's eyes aren't meant to work together like Sasuke's does.
Sasuke's left eye creates black flames. While his right eye controls them. Obito's could be the same. Where his right eye lets him control his space/time jutsu, while his left one allows him to use it at a distance. And if he actually had both of his eyes, he'd be able to do everything he does now, but from a distance.
Personally, I think Obito has the best MS powers so far. And no sissy genjutsu either.

A year or something ago, Tobi would have found some random's* arm in his safehouse.
* Deidara's.

If he only shifts the part of his body that overlaps with the enemies' attacks then why can't he attack with his right arm yet shift away the shoulder for instance? Then the whole plan with attacking him so he can't attack back fail since he can just shift the part being attacked and counter with the body parts that are still in the correct dimension.
I thought about that too, and I think it's automatic. His sharingan can do one of two things:
1) Suck in anything that his body touches
2) Suck in part of his body that is being touched
I'm under the impression that he can't do both at the same time. He's done that thing before where he sucks himself and sasuke into his eye. I can't remember, but did he do that at the same time, or did he do Sasuke first, then himself?
For me the bigger question is that if it's an MS, how can he use it so much without going blind?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
That is, a good point. Kakashi is already losing his sight and he's only used Kamui like a half a dozen times. Sasuke was going blind after, like, 2 days of hard use.
Tobi uses it all the time, he should totally be blind.
Then again, he has all those Sharingan at home. And we know he used one to beat Konan. Maybe he has a technique to transfer the blindness from his real MS to one of his spare Sharingans.
You mean when you create the EMS, you lose your original MS power and get what's in the new eyes? I thought it was the other way around, and Tobi just used one, random eye from his stockpile.
That was my assumption as well. He's good eye has the MS and the other eye is just a normal Sharingan. One that could be sacrificed for an Izanagi.
It just doesn't explain why he can use his MS power so much and still not be blind. Unless, like I said, he has a way to preserve his good eye by sacrificing the spares.
The logical thing would have been for the EMS to have the abilities of BOTH the sets of eyes used to create it. But so far, that doesn't seem to be the case. Or if it is, Sasuke simply hasn't used Tsykiyomi yet since he got the EMS.
Actually...this brings up another question for me.
If Tobi's MS power is a variant of the Kamui, how does he intend to cast a Tsukiyomi on the moon?
Or is Madara the one with the Tsukiyomi, and the goal is to actually make HIM the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki.
I'm not sure if Sasuke has a genuine EMS. I mean Itachi transferred his techniques to him at the end of their death battle. Tobi himself said that Itachi had them put a trigger in Amaterasu the moment Sasuke saw Tobi. Plus his eyes always bleed when he uses them. If they were his own that shouldn't happen right? I mean even Kakashi has a MS that he obtained himself and he doesn't bleed through the eyes when he uses it.
Itachi did transfer stuff to Sasuke, but since then Sasuke has had Itachi's eyes actually transplanted into him. That's supposed to give him EMS, and there's no reason to doubt that right now. He didn't bleed when he fought Kabuto, which was the first "real" battle he's been in since he took off his bandages.
As for Kakashi, I think that despite what he's said this far he actually uses his MS a lot more sparingly compared to the others. Sasuke was spamming his like crazy because that's all he had against the Kage and all.
