I was re-playing Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask and I just noticed that Hershel and Randall reminds me a lot of Kakashi and Obito.
Both pairs were friends when they were younger. Both pairs find themselves in a dangerous situation, Hershel&Randall in the Akbadain Ruins while Kakashi&Obito going to save Rin. Both Randall and Obito ‘dies’ while Hershel and Kakashi are left watching their friends’ death. Both Randall and Obito are not really dead but everyone thinks so. Both Hershel and Kakashi are left going on with their lives with the guilt of letting their friends die. Both Randall and Obito are taken in by a bad guy, Randall follows Jean Descole while Obito follows Madara and Zetsu. Both return years later as the bad guy that the good guys needs to somehow defeat, Randall as the Masked Gentleman and Obito as Madara/Tobi. In the end both repented, but while Randall survives Obito dies.
How could I not see all of this before? This is wild.
