OT: Sakura only won becuz of Chiyo
Sasori is supposed to be in the upper echelon of akatsuki.
Deidara clearly admitted inferiority. Sorta like with Kisame and Itachi, where Kisame knew his place.
Pain > Itachi > Sasori >= Kakuzu >= Kisame > Deidara > Hidan > Konan> Zetsu
The bolded are fairly close, and can be rearranged.
Agreed, though I would put kisame over kakuzu and konan above hidan and its perfect.
It's zetsu, hidan Is the most strongest member if opponent is unable to figure out his abilities. Deidara is also a most weakest member, he didn't won any of his battles besides his entrance one.
Reason I put Hidan over Konan is because without prep time she doesn't have much to offer. Hidan is ideal for Bijuu hunting, Konan seems more like she was there just cause of Nagato, while Hidan was actually recruited for a purpose. Would the akatsuki go out of their way to recruit Konan if she wasn't linked to Nagato? I doubt it.
Wait, what? Deidara was no where near to be the weakest. He was tiers above Hidan. He had powerful long range attacks, not to mention about his aerial advantage and high intelligence. If it wasnt for Kakashis Kamui, he would outsmart and kill two Konoha squads by himself. He was a solid Kage level.
Hidan is definietly the weakest one. Im not saying hes weak overall, that just shows how strong Akatsuki was.
Plus Hidan can't die, that we know of and it will definitely take more to keep him down than her.
You should just stop.Hidan could have killed Deidara while Deidara couldn't kill Hidan. People would beat Deidara more often than they would beat Hidan thanks to his immortality.
You should just stop.
After his head was decapitated, his entire body was rendered useless. It's actually quite easy to immobilize him.
His body parts can still be severed. He isn't impervious to damage so he can be blown up with a strong enough force as well.
1 Jonin and 3 Chunin bested him in mere seconds. If Kakazu wasn't there they would have lopped off his head immediately after they found out he was immortal. Even without that he was actually defeated by them afterwards.
You're giving far too much credit to his immortality when that could be dealt with easily.
Hidan could have killed Deidara while Deidara couldn't kill Hidan. Now that doesn't technically make Hidan stronger I guess as I agree Deidara had better moves but it makes him a more difficult opponent. People would beat Deidara more often than they would beat Hidan thanks to his immortality.
Wut? Kill and beat are two different things. Hidan is defeated as long as he cant fight. Deidara is way more difficult to beat of the two.
