Because the whole point of veiling something in secrecy is to draw interest from readers. Once you've gotten enough curious fans, you reward them by revealing what all the mystery was about.
I'm assuming it was Kakashi who recognized him. What you said also shows how Kishi screwed up. Kishi is basically telling us himself that it is Obito because like you said they shouldn't be able to recognize him. Though the other side is that Kakashi had already figured it out and Obito was already in his mind and easily made the connection. Not like he saw Tobis face and instantly recognized him. He was prepared to make the connection. And third, what is the validity of those words in the last page? The "it is Obito" by the editor or something. Not Kakashi. Are those letters written as if by a spectator or an all knowing writer confirming stuff?some hero, that explanation makes no sense-- if Obito can time travel but can't change the past, then he couldn't have given Nagato the Rinnengan either...
That said, time Travel is the only way this even begins to make sense chronologically (and factually).
Also, how the fuck could they tell it's Obito by looking at his face considering that he looks... totally different...
Yeah?I just want to point out that if Tobi is Obito, than all he said about Akatsuki is a fucking lie.
But it's not just Naruto that does this... it's the pratfall of TONS OF NARRATIVES. The writers just can't understand that sometimes evil is alien in nature, and can just be evil for evil's sake. This is why The Joker is such a good villain, it's why Darth Vader was still a fantastic villain in the first Star Wars movie. They're just evil. No rhyme or reason. Just evil. Sometimes simple is good.Also, I completely agree with TheValkyries that it's fucking annoying that every single character needs to have some justice (or rather "justification") for doing what they do-- they all have to be "right." It's just sooo unnecessary.
Not really. Sometimes veiling the whole thing in secrecy is to make it seem foreign and alien so that it's evil is pure, and not confused by motives.Because the whole point of veiling something in secrecy is to draw interest from readers.

tobi is sage of six paths inhabiting obito's body that he revived using his power over life and death
i'm just going to let the old man lay it out and come up with my final thoughts on the matter when HE is doneKishi has some explaining to do, and he better not bs this around
