There is no way he could have known Kakashi was the third person nearly 10 years prior. He was referring to someone else, making Kakashi the 4th user.

My only explanation for Kakashi obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan is that he copied it from Itachi when they first encountered.

Kakashi didn't kill his best friend.

Which brings me to another point. I believe Itachi killed off his clan so no one could copy his Mangekyou.

I HIGHLY doubt that a bloodline limit like Mangekyou Sharingan is copiable. Bloodline limits cannot be copied, and he did not copy it from Itachi.

And technically, Kakashi might have "killed" Obito, at least in his own mind. After obtaining the Sharigan and seeing his friend die (by what he beleived to be his own actions), he could have obtained Mangekyou.

This, of course, destroys my other point, as Kakashi would have had Mangekyou WAY before the current timeline, making it possible that Itachi was referring to him as the 3rd user. Kakashi might have also just recently developed his version of Mangekyou through other means (hinted at by Sasuke's "I'll find my own way to become strong").

I guess it just depends on how Kakashi got his Mangekyou.
