A little hint about Tobi you may have missed...

Tobitastic · 07-09-2012, 08:53 PM

During one of the filler arcs, Tobi stopped at a Dango shop with Deidara, and said this.
“Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, boku wa Tobi!” while referring to the tailed beasts.
It translates to: “Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, and I’m Tobi!”
Tobi’s plan for world domination is to revive the Juubi, or “Ten-Tailed Beast”.
But he also said that he was trying to achieve a complete form of his own.
Here’s the neat part:
When counting from one to ten in Japanese, it goes:
Ichi, Ni, San, Yon, Go, Roku, Shichi, Hachi, Kyuu, Juu.
When counting objects, it goes differently:
Hitotsu, Futatsu, Mittsu, Yottsu, Itsusu, Muttsu, Nanatsu, Yatsu, Kokonotsu, To.
The tailed beasts get their names by combining the character for the number of tails they have with the character for “bi”.
That means that Tobi’s statement to Deidara can actually be translated as:
“One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, Three-Tailed, and I’m Ten-Tailed!”

Woah

That's insane! Super cool!

Khiakara · 07-10-2012, 01:37 PM

Intresting...
Thats really cool, never knew until know, thanks.

Kakashi Hatake_Yamato · 07-10-2012, 01:46 PM

wow. props to u

well, he does want to become the ten-tail's host. so his name perfectly fits him

Naruto the Sage of Life · 07-10-2012, 05:29 PM

Thats a neat way to interpret it, I personally always understood that as him saying he wanted to be the ten tailed jinuuriki, and basically gain the power of the juubi. Which looking at Killer B and his transformation, Tobi might as well literally become the Juubi.

PrinceofPeace · 07-10-2012, 06:03 PM

wow how did you come up with that

Kakashi Hatake_Yamato · 07-10-2012, 06:04 PM

from the OP's name, he is a huge tobi fan

Toma RNK · 07-10-2012, 06:06 PM

I actually knew all of that info and didn't put it together. Well done.

RasenganMaster21 · 07-20-2012, 09:16 PM

Amazing! Im familiar with Japanese and never dawned on that innuendo either.

hlm9803 · 09-29-2012, 10:27 AM

Wow, that's amazing...
I would've never caught that.

Sage_Of_Six_Paths · 10-03-2012, 04:51 PM

wow that's right..and we realize about his plans about being the ten-tails too, so there could be other things said in the earliar episodes that may have significant meaning in the future, its just about finding important moments and trying to decode them hahaha

I think before Danzo died, he said something about Sasuke not knowing the true intentions of Itachi and the real story, maybe something to look in?

Nadial · 10-12-2012, 02:34 PM

Wow thats cool!
Thanks for sharing!

Sting8 · 10-16-2012, 09:03 AM

Thanks for sharing. I'd just got a funny idea. What if it'd backfired on him. Made him into baby once again?
Konoha decided sealed of his Sharingans and give them to Sasuke? Sasuke have all of his clan Sharingan before he got married to Guren?

Souret · 10-16-2012, 10:13 AM

That is seriously awesome

Swepiz · 10-20-2012, 12:56 PM

Cool, thanks for sharing this!

Devroux · 10-20-2012, 01:15 PM

That's pretty neat. I knew the regular numbers, but not the ones for counting objects. Makes a whole lot more sense for the name.
