In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Is dead? (Obito)” is an epic card of the Anime Memes pack, number 48 of the collection, and the 1st best-known meme of its 66 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Is dead? (Obito)” meme mean?

People use Is dead? to joke about someone or something surviving against all logic, referencing Obito taking a supposedly lethal attack without really suffering the consequences. It is a humorous way to doubt a character’s apparent death, often used in anime where deaths are rarely final.

Where does the “Is dead? (Obito)” meme come from?

The scene comes from Naruto Shippuden, the anime adaptation of Masashi Kishimoto’s manga Naruto. During a battle, the character Konan attacks Obito Uchiha with a rain of explosive scrolls designed to kill him for certain. Obito survives anyway thanks to Izanagi, a rare eye technique that lets him temporarily alter reality around his own body to escape a certain death. This ability, reserved for very few characters in the series because of its steep cost, reinforced Obito’s reputation as an opponent almost impossible to finish off for good.

How to use the “Is dead? (Obito)” meme

  • Humorously doubt a fictional character’s death by referencing Obito and his Izanagi.
  • Mock someone who survives a situation that seemed hopeless.
  • Comment on a twist where a “dead” character comes back when no one expected it.
