Hidan is not Akatsuki-worthy

[sG Taka]

they ran out of members, so they were like...."ehh...he sucks...buuuut at least he wont die like everyone else. he can be useful." Without his immortality...we'd be like, "Hidan..? Hidan what?" haha, hidan is garbs

They were tired of Kakuzu killing every partner -.-..although they should've just put Tobi instead lol

Wrong.
The following capture is directly from Narutopedia. Yes, not that it is 100% accurate but so far, it is one of the most reliable sources of information.

"Hidan's main advantage was his inability to die, a result of extensive experimenting with the Jashin religion's various techniques. His immortality allowed him to survive numerous fatal injuries, and almost any form of dismemberment; he even retained his ability to speak after having his head cut off. However, his head still needed to be connected to his body in order to control it.

Despite being "immortal", he is still capable of dying from a lack of nutrients."




It says nothing about him needing to perform the ritual in order to keep being "immortal".
And to someone being unsure how immortal he really is, it is stated that he can still die from lack of nutrients. Which are water and food. So by now, he is pretty much dead in that pit that Shikamaru buried him in.

He is more than worthy to be a part of Akatsuki. It's not always about "OMG NO ONE CAN SURVIVE AGAINST IITTTACHI <3 ALONE LOLOLOL!" or something similar. It's about being the most effective as a unit. They did capture a Bijuu together, did they not? And since Kakuzu had the habit of killing his partners, Hidan was the perfect choice to company him. They used Hidan in Kakuzus elemental attacks, that would've been impossible for someone else. So Hidan is nothing near useless, quite the contrary.



​

Yes, I know it's not all about that, I'm not saying it is. Any pair of the Akatsuki could've captured Bijuu..that's not the point. The elemental and combo attacks are just a bonus..anything can be worked out with another teammate.

Besides, the partnership issue is already resolved..Tobi could fit it in for Hidan.

Well, you get rep+ dude, nice thread!

Thanks!

 

[Hei]

if someone doesn't know about hidan's "abilities" it'll be hard time for him

Alright,read the 1st page worth a comments. Sorry If I miss any points that come after.

Dude,yet again, you've made a nice thread. Inpartial and totally reasonable. If I hadn't already raped the crap outta that +rep button, I'd send more ur way.

Anywhooo....Hidan is very good in many ways. He is for all intents and purposes immortal but he can be beaten.
I agree that by lopping off a limb or two you can gain the upper hand very easily but it's a big risk going too close to him, so I think long & mid range fighters would fair best here.
I also agree that variety wise he doesn't have much up his sleeve. However, he only needs to scratch an opponent to kill them. As long as his seal thingy has the time to work.
He is a great fighter and would have been a much more dangerous individual had it not been for his odd personality and wacky behaviour. Also had to developed more jutsu and especially genjutsu, he would have become a powerhouse of terror.
As he was however, Once you have the intel on him, he can be beaten with caution. Without intel, you're dead.
