Itachi must've figured out the teleportation part of Kamui, but did obito show him the phasing part?

I don't think we've ever seen Obito phasing through an attack after the said attack made physical contact with his body. This is nicely illustrated when that Aburame bodyguard of Danzo infected Obito's right arm with his nanovirus. Had Obito possessed the ability to remove the infection by phasing the virus away, he would have done so. Instead he just cut off his arm and replaced it with another one. The only way Obito could phase away from the virus would be before the virus made contact with his flesh, i.e. when the Aburame guy was lunging towards Obito but had not yet made physical contact.

The same thing seems to apply to the Amaterasu incident. Obito's body had already come into contact with the black flames. There probably was no way he could phase through it, since Obito hasn't shown any of that feat in the manga so far. So the two options are Izanagi or replacement of his body part with magic Hashi cells. But considering the fact that Obito appeared in one piece without any signs of amputation so quickly, the only explanation that fits is Izanagi.

Hmm, interesting you brought that up. little off topic but still relevant as far as kamui goes. what is your take on genjutsu? i remember reading some threads few weeks ago on similar topic about whether or not genjutsu can effect obito's eyes/chakra network when he's in intangible mode. some say it should still work others say it won't. unfortunately I can't remember if the thread said if he gets hit by gen before or after going kamui.

excuse my quote error. i have no idea how that crap works. Sorry for not replying earlier. I think genjutsu should work on Obito, whether intangible or not. If the argument is that parts of Obito's chakra network is in the Kamui space while he's intangible, and that hence, his incomplete chakra network cannot be disrupted to put him under genjutsu, then we must take the argument to its logical conclusion and conclude that Obito can't move or do anything while intangible. Because parts of Obito's nervous system+chakra network+ body parts are in Kamui space.

Taken to its logical conclusion, that specific argument leads one to conclude that Obito should die the moment he sends parts of his body to other dimensions. That obviously is not true. So I think that if Obito can move and jump around while being intangible, then it follows that he should be vulnerable to genjutsu, provided that the chakra is disrupted at the part of the body that is in the real world and not in Kamui space.

lol if he had enough time to activate izanagi, why not just use kamui? lol Logic Win for you :) I honestly don't know. Kishi hasn't fully clarified what Obito actually did during that incidence, so all we can do is speculate.
