Hidan is not really immortal

[Bling Kai]

if hidan is immortal then what would that mean? if the anserw to that is ghe cant die then let me ask you this. If hidan is disintegrated will he still be alive? No he wouldnt because he would no longer exist. therefore hidan is not immortal. Am i right or am i wrong guys?

 

[grizzlyshree]

as long as the mang astates wat u said its neither

You are correct hidan is not immortal. If he was disintegrated he would still survive if he got puck back together however. Kishi stated in a interview the only way Hidan could actually die was from starvation. The reason he wasn't resurrected as an edo was becasue he is starving to death in the bottom of the pit Shikamaru put him in.

He'll probably still think but can't do anything pther than that

 

[Mudballman]

Probably true, but hidan was strong enough that in order to do that, you would need immense power

how could he think if his brain is disintegrated?

 

[NarutoWA]

Then what means to be alive?

Your trying to bring logic into a talk about immortality? If we are doing that, how does his brain survive when he gets beheaded? Its not receiving blood or oxygen.

yeah now we are getting somewhere, but this is still narutobase after all so lets keep it simple.

Perhaps he is immortal in the spiritual sense. You can destroy the body but his spirit remains? I mean he did just have his body blown to peices and is a talking head. Should a beheading kill a person. Immortal is such a subjective term. Does he age? If he is just a talking head how is he going to starve to death? The rest of his body was blown to pieces wasn't it?

I think Immortality doesn't mean invinciblity. I think it just means you never die from aging or by traditional means. Being destroyed on a cellular level will certainly end him, but that doesn't mean at the time he wasn't immortal. just not invunerable.

Annnd with this, I believe the thread has been answered

i guess you are right about that. this kind of question goes beyond naruto and more into science and, philosophy.

How could he think without a head? You can't really use that logic to Hidan

 

[Andy Bogard]

I guess jashin "rewarded" him afterall.

You're wrong because you don't know how to interpret his immortality.
He's immortal in a way that he cannot die through normal means and is 'unaffected' by most physical attacks (can remain conscient even after being beheaded, can move perfectly with broken bones or ripped muscles, etc...).
Your premise is wrong as well, being immortal doesn't mean invulnerable.

this question goes more into what it means to be alive. Scientifically speaking life is just brain activity but cellls are also considerd alive and they dont have brains. see what i mean.

maybe so im not sure that is what immortality means but if that is what it means for hidan i am definitly wrong.

I get it but he could probably think

Use particle style to disintegrate hidan's entire body into subatomic particles. That would surely kill him. By the way, has anyone heard of the church of jashin? I think jashinism is an actual religion. Google it and see what you find.

Being immortal means that one cannot die through normal means. Hidan had his head chopped off and was still perfectly aware of everything, talking nonsense...; a normal person would be dead for obvious reasons.
The example you gave can literally be applied to anything. If something ceases to exist because it was eliminated, does it mean its not eternal (time wise for example)? No, its existance was simply interrupted through forceful means.
You're talking about invulnerability. No, Hidan is not invulnerable to damage, but he'll never die if enough harm isn't made.

I hope i made my point, i'm not good explaining these philosofical questions XD
