Hi fellow NB members,
There appears to be a lot of hate or dislike towards Hidan when he is put in a ranking system or versus match. Some people seem to have (lack of understanding) when it comes to this character. More than often I continue to see people stating that Hidan is just a "fodder". I don’t mind people stating their opinions (as long as those opinions are not stupid), however, saying that Hidan is a weak ninja in general is a very unfair and simplistic view. People tend to overlook the strength of this character because of how he went out in battle. I believe the reason why Hidan is so underrated is because his main strength comes from his defensive ability (immortality) rather than his offensive ability, which is not that bad. As a result, his main strengths tend to be overlooked by most people on this base and in other forums as well.
Hidan is an immortal taijutsu specialist with a 4.5. He could fight against Asuma without much difficulty while at the same time dodge Shika's shadows. Most jutsu's or attacks will not work on him. Hidan's immortality is his best weapon and It allows him to tank several fatal attacks that would end many other mortal beings. Hidan does not follow logic. His head was cut off, but he could still communicate. Shika's shadow sewing ran through many parts in his body but he could still move. Another thing to take note of is that he never tries to block any attack when fighting someone. He either tries to dodge it or just tank it. The reason why I brought this up is because this is actually a very smart move and an advantage for him because it allows him to get closer to his opponent just so he can get their blood. (This is key against Sakura who is a close combat type).
Hidan's speed is underrated a lot. Hidan was able to pressure Kakashi and Kakashi was incapable of gaining an advantage showing Hidan's quickness against someone as talented as Kakashi who even has the Sharingan. His rope and his scythe is very tricky to dodge because if you are using something like a normal kunai then it's almost impossible to defend against it. If you try to dodge the scythe then there's still a big chance that the extra range will hit you as a result of the blades and the scythe's random movements while striking, not to mention that he can zoom in with his rope. Even lugging around his big scythe (which slows down his attack speed), he can still fight unpredictably and acrobatically against many. Hidan has an average 3.5 in the databook when it comes to speed. Hidan takes advantage of his opponents by being unpredictable and out enduring them with incredible stamina. He has never been one for speed and he really doesn't need it when he has his long ranged scythe for long distance. *Also, when have we ever seen Hidan run out of breathe when fighting someone? He has a perfect 5 in stamina meaning he will far outlast Sakura. His stamina is practically limitless. Hidan does not use much chakra with his attacks while Sakura will constantly be tiring herself out and using up chakra. A battle of endurance, which Sakura is not winning.
Hidan's ritual does require time to catch the blood onto the scythe, lick the blood, and then form the circle, (which doesn't take that much time at all), but without Intel they will not know what is going on, and they will probably stand there half confused on what he is doing, but knowing that it's Sakura, she will probably bust in and try to punch him, but it will already be too late. He is invulnerable to nearly all physical attacks. The only way to beat him is through decapitation and even that is difficult because:
1) You have to catch him while trying to avoid giving him your blood
2) Hidan's endurance makes it that more difficult to tag him
The best thing about Hidan is that he can continue to fight for long periods of time until the other person runs out of energy. Hidan has plenty of versatility and his hand to hand skills are not to be looked over.
Now that I have explained why Hidan is underrated, let me explain why Sakura loses to Hidan and how people (including Sakura fans) are in denial.
Sakura's arsenal is very minimal. In fact, she does not have much of anything. She consists of healing ability (which will not help her win against Hidan), she has super human strength, which is very one directional and not at all hard to dodge, and last but not least intelligence, which is the only thing that Sakura has over Hidan. Hidan's durability would be too much for Sakura. He received two stabs to the heart that didn't phase him. I doubt some mainstream punch will suffice his demise. Blunt force will only break bones, but it will not dissect him. Internal damage means nothing to Hidan. She would have to dismember his limbs or bisect his body parts. People want to always bring up Katsuyu, but what does that thing even have to offer offensively? People always bring her up as if she is supposed to be some kind of threat or something. Spitting acid? He can just avoid it. He fought against 2 tail Yugito and avoided Bijuu fire ball, so why can't he avoid simple acid? Katsuyu is not even used for offense. It's used for healing.
All I ever hear is "one punch to the ground GG". Well, first of all, when you compare Sakura's taijutsu to Hidan's taijutsu, it is laughably insignificant and shouldn't even be compared. Sakura has solid evasive skills, but she is not a fast character. In her match with Sasori, Sakura had Chiyo's help with chakra strings. If you take a look here you will notice that Sakura manages to dodge Sasori's needles with help of Chiyo's strings from the beginning;
Without the help of her strings, she would have been dead in the very beginning. I wish people would stop using the argument of her being able to handle Sasori without her help at the end when in fact she needed help in the beginning.
She is only useful when she can connect with someone.
If she cannot connect then there is no need for her strength.
Speed and taijutsu, she has a solid three, which is lower than Hidan. Yes it's true that sometimes the databook can be inconsistent. Hidan has a 3.5 in speed but can keep up with people that have a 4.5 in speed. Sakura's attack pattern and the way she delivers, she could never even hope to connect with Hidan. You want to bring up Shaannaroo;
That punch effects a wide range after it is released, but the rubble will not do anything, and I have constantly heard people say that throwing a boulder or the debris will crush Hidan. I have two responses for that:
[/FONT]
1. You're an idiot.
2. Hidan can evade the punch considering that it took her time to reach the Juubi clones because she had to jump up just to get an even better coverage. Here Hidan was shown to be just fine from being crushed by rocks.
As I said, he has insane durability so rubble means shit to Hidan. Also, have you ever actually thought that maybe the rubble or dust will confuse Sakura more than it will confuse the other person, so by the time she has landed, Hidan would have already been behind her slicing her head. Sakura even had to be saved the very next second because she thought she had succeeded;
How foolish. What if Hidan survives that punch (which he will) and she is caught off guard and gets sliced through the heart by his scythe and then tormented in his ritual circle thing?
Sakura charging or going on the offensive will do nothing. Punching the ground only makes it more better for Hidan to cut her as he would simply jump out of the way like Kakashi did and extend his scythe to cut Sakura.
If you haven't noticed, everytime Sakura punches the ground, she is not aiming for the target, she is aiming for the ground, so what good does aiming at the ground do against Hidan again? Make him lose balance? Sorry, but jumping out of the way has already been proven and Hidan is very good at fighting in the air anyway.
I wonder if Sakura could connect Kunai's with Kakashi or get blasted with a Atsugai and survive?
Hidan against Asuma, it was 4 vs 1 and he still killed Asuma. You expect one girl, that is not even fast enough, to tag Hidan or even decapitate his head? Hidan is a close and mid-long range fighter while Sakura is only a close range fighter. Sakura using a chakra scapel?, but what the hell would that do?
Hidan reacted to the first blade and even survived two blades to the chest like it was nothing. Don't bring that shit here when it can never even harm him, not to mention she would never get the chance to even touch him because she lacks the speed to, so what do you expect a boxing brawler with half assed taijutsu skills to accomplish? Sakura dodging Hidan's attacks? No one can dodge forever and Hidan will just outlast her until she runs out of breath and can't move anymore. Hidan is very skilled in CQC. He dominated Asuma with Shika there, he was keeping up with Kakashi who is well faster than Sakura. Sakura can regenerate, but she won't survive a stab to the head. Byakugo can heal internal organs but Sakura still doesn't have any way to kill Hidan.
When Sakura charged at Madara, Madara was not surprised because he wasn't phased and didn't even move because Limbo was already there to block her attack. People want to bring up Sakura destroying the surrounding areas to restrain his ritual, but what good will that do when Hidan can just dodge the cracked land and fling his scythe at Sakura from a distance.
People want to argue for Sakura's speed and reaction time, but we have seen her get kick blitzed by Omoi with relative ease;
while Hidan reacted easily to a surprise attack from behind and even thought that it was Kakuzu which gave him even less time to react;
Medical ninja's are trained to evade. That's real cute, but Hidan can also evade.
People want to say that Sakura can just regenerate her injuries, but since when could anyone regenerate their heart or head? If I remember correctly, Tsuande got stabbed in the chest and so did Sakura, but neither of them got stabbed in the heart. Hidan could easily just stab his neck and call it a day. Sakura has no way to restrain or dismember Hidan so she cannot win. Hidan could easily keep stabbing his body to injure Sakura until she uses up her Byakugo.
Seriously, if people think Sakura has a chance against Hidan, then that just shows how underrated Hidan is, and for those who think that Sakura can just hold a Kunai and cut off Hidan's head, that is not happening since Asuma couldn't do the same to Hidan especially with superior speed, taijutsu and a much better weapon than an ordinary kunai. Hidan was only decapitated once Shika paralysed him with shadow possession and this only happened since Hidan had to stand in his ritual so he couldn't just dodge the incoming shadows since he was stupid enough to stand in the ritual circle. If you expect Sakura to have a bout against Hidan without getting a scratch then you are mistaken. I have already proven how she is slower in battle.
Hidan wins with medium difference due to Sakura having regenerative ability.
