Significance of the different designs of Tobi's/Obito's masks There have been three designs of the masks of Tobi/Obito shown in the Naruto (anime/manga). Is there any significance behind the masks and the designs, or is it just a design and something to be ignored?
The masks in each stage has their own significance:

The Spiral Mask with center at the eye was designed by the mangaka to give the dimension switch by Tobi a better look.

The Rinne-Sharingan shaped mask was worn by Tobi during the Shinobi War to represent his mission i.e achieving the Rinne-Sharingan for the Infinite Tsukuyomi .

All these designs don't have any significance from the perspective of the storyline. They were just designed by the mangaka to have a stylish, appropriate appearance.
