Jashin is Hogoromo's brother.

[Cray]

Remember Jashin? I think he might play some role in the manga considering we don't know anything about him besides the fact that Hidan got his immortality from him.

 

[G Godly 0 forms 0]

Jashin may be his brother alright! or another name of the ten-tails

 

[Im Still Robin]

This was probably one of the first theories alone with the Reaper Death Seal...possibly, no one knows but Kishi.

 

[conradoserpa]

I hope he's long gone, seriously.

Jashin had followers, since it was a religion.

I did not want this to be brought back.

 

[Mad Daz]

Im secretly hoping his brothers name is jashin. Why bring in a god who supposedly makes you invincible when you pray to him, and have no backstory or explanation at all.

 

[-Drāke-]

For some reason I feel the same way

 

[Itachi Edo]

That would be interesting, to say the least. I think it's possible, but if he was going to play a role Kishi would have included Hidan's back story in the managa instead of just writing it in the databook.

Jashin and Hagoromo. Yin and Yang. Has a nice ring to it.

 

[Gein]

If Hidan got his immortality from Jashin where is Jashin and his immortality?

I doubt he is Hagoromo's brother

 

[XxLapizxLazulixX]

OR Jashin is a made-up religion (most likey a forbidden jutsu) which kishi chose not to detail, that is not well-known except by a small group who use it as an excuse to rampage and kill others

Immortals are capable of being sealed, hence Hagoromo's sealing tools.

Hagoromo's brother's hair has a striking resemblance to Madara's, Ginkaku's, and Kinkaku's, all of which tended to strive on violence. It might be symbolism.

That jutsu is pretty OP don't you think? He survived with his head decapitated, I think kishi should go into detail.

 

[Lord madara solos]

maybe thats true, since jashin and hagoromos bro arent very popular in NV

 

[Mellow]

Maybe.it Just might be

 

[Gein]

If Jashin was sealed then how did Hidan get his immortality from him?

 

[Zen Uchiha]

Just stop right now

 

[Angelic.]

Yes, a religion can exist without the actual existence of its deity.
