I am still thinking about those scenes of little Obito trying to become Hokage and how much he cared about Rin and Kakashi and it makes it so much worse to see him like this now plus Naruto telling him he is just running away from his pain really hit home even if the animation looked a bit rough today

I can see why Obito is so messed up after those flashbacks and Naruto really called him out for just running away from his own life

The way Naruto sees right through him is wild because they really were the same kid before everything went wrong for Obito

Naruto's desperate yell at Obito, calling him out as just "Uchiha Obito" and not some god-like sage, made me hold my breath, seriously hoping it would finally break through to him. I was right there with Naruto, feeling him pour his soul into reminding Obito of their past, and for a moment, I actually believed that fragile part of the old Obito might just listen.

Okay, I'm definitely feeling that flashback fatigue by now, but watching kid Obito and Kakashi spar was so worth it, especially since the animation actually looked decent for those few minutes! It's just wild to me how Obito started out with the exact same dream as Naruto, only for everything to go so wrong that he ended up wanting to destroy the world instead of saving it.

Seriously, I was so glued to the hand-to-hand combat between the kids in this one, like, the movement was just incredibly fluid compared to how things usually look. It really made me think about all their training montages and how much they've actually leveled up, which was pretty cool to witness.

Obito's desperate struggle to keep pace with Kakashi in that training fight was so vivid, it actually made me a little sad, knowing where their intense rivalry would eventually lead. I couldn't help but feel how much he yearned for that recognition and equality, which just makes their later, tragic confrontations sting even more.

I can't believe how hard they're pushing the Naruto and Obito parallels, but it's really effective seeing just how much Obito yearns for his past in the Leaf Village, it makes you wonder what could have been. It's kinda heartbreaking to see that glimmer of the old Obito who just wanted to be Hokage, you know?
kokiri
I'm still really not sure if Rin ever actually liked Obito back or if she was just being polite, and it kinda frustrates me because I wanted to feel more of a connection there. It's tough when a character who's supposed to be so important feels so one-dimensional sometimes.

Obito's internal fight with his past self, all that darkness trying to pull him under, felt incredibly raw to me. I think Naruto was so desperate to save him because he saw a reflection of a path he almost took, and it was almost painful to watch Naruto grappling with that familiar struggle, wanting to pull him back.

Wow, I mean, it really hit me how much Rin basically held Team Minato together; the way Obito looked at her during those flashbacks just makes perfect sense now, and honestly, it's kinda heartbreaking realizing his entire world probably revolved around her before everything went south.
rossiu_adai
Naruto staring into Obito's eyes, seeing a reflection of a future he almost had, really made me feel the weight of his past. It's chilling to consider how easily he could've ended up just as jaded and alone if he didn't have his friends, especially Sakura and Sasuke, grounding him when he was young.
zanjutsu_zealot_474
I just couldn't help but feel so incredibly sad seeing Rin tell Obito she's watching him after patching him up, knowing how twisted he becomes later on. It makes me wonder if her kindness here was part of what drove him, but man, this pacing is really testing my patience right now.

That sparring sequence in the woods was so fluid, I really felt like they poured their heart into the animation for that, it was awesome to see. But then watching them compete as kids just hits different now, it's actually gut-wrenching to see how innocent things were back then before everything got messed up between them.
muichiro_misty
Ugh, I'm kinda frustrated with how rough the animation looked on Naruto's face and the Sharingan this episode, seriously, we've seen these reaction shots so many times that it just feels like filler now. It really takes me out of the intensity of the fight when the visuals aren't up to par.
ami_mizuno
It's wild to think Rin might've actually liked Kakashi more, but then realizing she still had so much faith in Obito, even then? That just makes his current, messed-up path so much harder to watch for me, because it highlights how far he's fallen from the person someone so good believed in.
izayoi_259
Obito and Kakashi, always trying to one-up each other in their training, made me smile because their rivalry felt so innocent and full of potential. My heart aches thinking about those moments now, knowing how that bond would later twist into such a tragic, bitter conflict.
tsubaki
I was absolutely buzzing for this spar, the animation for the new parts was seriously incredible and brought the manga panels to life on screen! What a letdown though when they just spliced in so much old footage; it totally pulled me out of the intensity of what should've been an epic, brand-new confrontation between them.
salvatore_367
When young Kakashi and Obito were sparring, I actually found myself smiling at how competitive and goofy they were together, only for it to immediately twist into this awful ache thinking about how brutally their bond would ultimately break. It's hard to imagine they were ever that close, knowing all the tragedy with Rin and the Uchiha clan just waiting to unfold for them; it really makes me question what could have ever prevented such a devastating future.
zekrom
I was really struck by how Naruto just ripped into Obito, especially after seeing how much they both wanted to be Hokage. It made me feel like Naruto was desperately trying to snap Obito out of it, almost like he was fighting for the Obito he *could* have been.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off Episode 384's direct confrontation between Naruto's alliance and Obito, this episode pivots from external conflict to internal reckoning, giving Obito's character arc a critical moment of reflection amid the larger Fourth Great Ninja War. It serves as an emotional fulcrum point — everything Obito has done across hundreds of episodes gets reexamined through a deeply personal lens. This introspective beat sets the foundation for the war's next major turning points, making it essential viewing rather than a narrative pause.
