The Will of Rin, that floored me.
I do wish that Obito's motivations were presented differently or at least made more clear. Maybe instead of it being his selfish desire it could be presented as something he thinks Rin would've wanted to happen. She obviously wouldn't want him doing what he does, but in his twisted mind he could believe she did.
And that's another thing, thanks to Tobirama we have the explanation that the Uchiha have the danger of going insane when presented with emotional distress because of some reaction their sharingan have in their brains. I wish Kishi could've emphasized that more clearly while presenting Obito's fall to darkness. Maybe in the aftermath of Rin's death a scene in which Obito grabs his head while his eye is being emphasized, during which he thinks of Madara's moon plan.
I think Kishi did want to use the curse of the sharingan as an excuse to Obito's sudden change of heart in favor of Madara's plan, but I feel the execution could've been done better. The problem is that most of the audience treats Obito as just a normal kid that went overboard and don't take into consideration how much the sharingan along Madara's words could've poisoned his brain.
That explanation only made me rage because that was an stupid excuse to make the uchihas to be victims on the whole story and worse of all made the hokages to be the bad guys, even shodaimed was seemed as a "villain" for doing the right thing "kill Madara" (It's shodaime's fault that all the mess happened the darkness and bad things on the village not the selfish Madara who like tried to destroy it, wanted to make the uchihas join him and went around the world spread hatred and doing bad stuff), the second for persecuting the uchihas when the citizens viewed them as elite and were proud of them and the explanation was "the ones who deal with the laws and stuff are hated" like WTF, the third because he didnt deal properly with the Uchiha coup the etat when he also did the right thing but no it's sandaime's fault no Sasuke's dad who like started the rebellion and didnt took in considerantion his family, the fourth because he sacrificed himself his wife and Naruto for the sake of the village and is viewed as a failure , it's like Obito and Sasuke did a lot of bad stuff but it's not their fault because it's due to their uchiha heritage, we have other examples like Sasori, Kisame, Nagato and they did the same stuff and they were not uchihas, the problem with the villains is this, doesnt matter if they do evil things or not, they are victims, all of them are victims there are no guilty or at least evil people even orochimaru got labelled as a victim, due to the politics he didnt became hokage and went evil.
It doesnt make sense, Madara is just another one "My brother is still dead" and then goes evil.
And then we have examples like Naruto and hashirama who despite the death of their loved ones still kept going forward and they receive a shut up from those guys like "hey you're wrong fool".
