Obito Uchiha Quotes

A fortune cookie unless you know whose causal chain runs through it, and by this point the series has built two. Obito is speaking about Nagato, whose plan for world peace began with a dead friend, and he is describing himself without saying so: a boy who loved one person, watched her die on his rival's arm, and converted that into a scheme to end reality. The structure of both stories is identical and the show puts them in the same conversation on purpose. What keeps the sentence from being a platitude is the word risk, which frames attachment as an exposure rather than a virtue, and that is a genuine position rather than a warm one. It is also the position the entire war is fought to refute, which means the villain's thesis is stated in one line very early and the remaining hundred episodes are the counterargument.

Crushed under rock, giving away a Sharingan as a promotion present, and the wording is what makes it terrible later. He does not say remember me. He says he will be the eye, present tense, an arrangement rather than a keepsake. Kakashi takes it literally for twenty years: he wears the eye, he covers it when not fighting, he visits a memorial stone often enough that a whole running gag is built on it. Then the arrangement turns out to be true in a way neither of them meant, because Obito does not die, and what he watches the future bring is a former teammate he decides is beneath contempt. The line is usually read as the series' most generous death. It is also the moment a character hands another character a surveillance device and both of them agree to call it love. Every scene the two share afterward is a negotiation over which of those two readings the sentence was.
