When did this turn into Dragon Ball Z? Stop focusing on power levels, it means nothing.

Obito had a will to resist. He wanted to screw Madara over and protect Naruto. Madara was caught off guard and quite clearly demoralized by the sudden betrayal of Black Zetsu. It all came down to their will power, which Obito has always had more of. Madara just rides off the coattails of others.

Not a big surprise.

People don't give Obito as much credit as they should.
