Hidan is not Akatsuki-worthy

Let me start by saying I am not a hater, Hidan is not weak, I just think he doesn't have the overall skill level to be part of the Akatsuki. Let me explain myself as briefly as possible. See, Hidan is the weakest of the Akatsuki (Zetsu is an exception because he is there for a different purpose). Konan would wreck Hidan, having intel on his ability, she could just fly and cut him up into a million pieces, he has very little chances against her. As for Sasori, Deidara, Tobi, Nagato, Itachi, Kisame and Kakuzu, I think it's agreeable that all of them can beat Hidan.

Hidan is slow, careless, arrogant and easily fooled. These characteristics are all shown during his fight against Team Asuma and Shikamaru. I believe he is only in the Akatsuki because of his immortality. Yes, he is "immortal" in a sense (although he can die from a lack of nutrients) but this "immortality" is pretty much useless in a 1v1 because his opponent can just either cut his head off or the arm wielding the Triple-Blade Scythe, and he's as good as dead. If it weren't for Kakuzu, Asuma would have won that fight.

Hidan's good feats are:
-Good Taijutsu
-One Ninjutsu: Curse Technique-Death Controlling Possessed Blood-

He has no variety whatsoever and his taijutsu can be easily matched. Yes, one scratch from his scythe and it's most likely game over for the opponent but still, I just don't think that feature alone justifies his place in the Akatsuki Organization. Kakashi easily managed to dodge every attack and Asuma would have to (if he had intel). This being said, most ninja with above average taijutsu and decent speed can dodge or block all of his attacks. As I said earlier, he is slow and careless.

Another reason he is in the Akatsuki is because Kakuzu had killed every other partner he had..this is still not a justification because Tobi could be his partner, since he has that Space Time Ninjutsu technique, he can avoid Kakuzu's every attack until he calms down.

He is a powerful ninja but it seems that when compared with the other Akatsuki members..he appears weak. Dunno..I think the spot would've been better for another person.

You don't need to be powerful enough when you can end the battle in two moves and when your Immortal.

Again idk how many times i've said it

if you don't know hidans ability, you will most likely lose... Ask Asuma

thats why he's an Akatsuki he probably killed a bunch of people

he was an S ranked criminal and i guess the akatsuki were lacking in members

So you didn't read..and no, he is not immortal. He can die.

:ghehe: No I didn't read it it was too long, I just went off the summary in Bold at the end. He's immortal when it comes to battles not sure about other things though (sealing jutsu's don't count)

Well, I guess but there has to be more too that, in most of the battles nobody knew of the opponent's abilities and yet..they still won.

:( I wasted about two minutes writing that..lol it's ok
Yeah but as I wrote (-.-) if you chop either his head or the arm that wields the scythe, he's as good as dead.

I agree, any ninja with decent ranged attacks would embarrass Hidan, his voodoo doll tech is way overrated, and once you disarm him as many skilled ninja would do, he has nothing, also I'm pretty sure genjutsu is a game ender for Hidan also

yea but most opponents don't need a drop of blood and then instead of attacking you, they stab themselves

First you would be like WTH are you doing

then you'd be dead

think about it, for hidan to be immortal he need to keep doing his ritual, so imagine how many people he has killed? he's perfect for the akatuski

most likely a mass murderer

I think you're underestimating him. You can't say he only has one ninjutsu because that cursed seal thing might not have been his only jutsu, what makes you think that? He's a well and capable fighter, but I personally do not like him. As you said, in a one on one fight he would probably lose to people like Shikamaru, Gai etc..

You could easily prevent him from getting into the circle -.-
And as some kid said above, genjutsu is fatal for him, y'know? Most techniques are.
Besides, i'm not saying you're wrong..but where does it say that thing about the ritual?

Well, he's dead and the only jutsu shown (Manga and Anime) was the ritual one, so I can't give him any more jutsus.

Thanks! And yeah, Genjutsu would own him, especially since most techniques are close-range and Hidan is all about close combat.

lol Ino is Hidan's worst nightmare, cause he's too dumb to not fall for her body swap jutsu, Hidan's strong, but he's a team player, without Kakuzu, he's nada

Again what would you do if you were a ninja with no intel on him?

would u rush in blindly? or wait and play it safe?



he's immortal from use of jashin curse

Well, obviously Hidan can beat some shinobi, and yes, Asuma would've probably lost either way if it weren't for Shikamaru but my point still stands.

honestly even if it was two on 1 with no intel

Only shikamaru and his dad would think of it, and have the perfect counter to get him out of the circle with the shadows
