Guy defeated kisame.Kisame did nto commit suicide until later so your way of thinking is illogical on every possible scale.Sasuke could not prevent the blast from happening nor did he have enough chakra to leave he used manda as a shield he did not use him to battle there is a difference.He lived to tell the tale but he did not bring deidara down himself.I agree with you on the hidan part shikarmaru did outsmart him to win the battle
*Sigh*. Your reading comprehension is obviously lacking. I'm not going to waste my time re-explaining my post, so I'll just talk about the points you made in your reply to me.
First of all, take the time to calm down, then read what I'm about to say.
Let's say there are zombies in your house, and there are no possible ways you can escape. You decide that you can't do anything to save yourself, so you might as well destroy your house with an explosion and take as many zombies out as you can.
Now, when you killed yourself, did the zombies win? I say, yes, in a manner of speaking. They got the better of you, which is why you decided to kill yourself in the first place.
Likewise, Sasuke got the better of Deidara. He countered
everything Deidara had put against him, including his final suicide explosion. In the end, Sasuke didn't kill him himself, just like the zombies didn't kill you, but Sasuke came out alive and that made him the victor.
Again, I agree with you, Sasuke didn't kill Deidara himself. However, I disagree with the conclusion that Sasuke didn't earn it. He forced Deidara's hand. He brought him to commit suicide. He shattered his hopes of ever defeating Itachi or any Uchiha. He survived his blast with a summoning. Nothing Deidara did ended up killing Sasuke. In the end, Sasuke came out alive and Deidara was dead. If you call that a standstill, then you obviously do not know the meaning of the word.
To conclude, you don't have to kill your opponent
yourself to win or to be considered the victor. One last analogy. If I put poison in your drink, and you died, did I kill you, or did the poison kill you? It's a false question. Both apply.
Likewise, Deidara killed himself, but technically Sasuke killed him as well, because he forced him to drink the suicide pill, so to speak.
