So...was Deidara actually an idiot or not?

[P3ĮÑ]

He blew himself up just to make himself look like a total idiot

He was dumb, saying "Hmm" at the end of a lot of sentences sums it up a a bit, he probably was the street smarts type.

Plus his addictive with art made it seem a lot worse.

Falling for a shadow clone does not make you stupid .. Kakuzu did as well ..

Deidara was a genius... he died because of arrogance.. which is a separate issue to his intelligence...Sasori called it.. people like him die young

no matter how much a charater is strong and genuis,kishi will find a way to troll him with an uchiha.
that's the sad truth about this manga,and the reason why it lost its popularity to one piece.

He was a really unstable character. He was above average at tactical and analytical inteliigence (imo ofc) but arrogance held him back, with that art obsession. And something people tend to forget is that he was heavily countered by Sasuke. At that point Sasuke's fight style was Basic Sharingan+Chidori streams with good use of the curse mark. Deidara had only 2 undeniable counters: dojutsu (being able to see c4 in the air) and lightning ( deactivating the clay).And he faced an opponent that relied on those two. I still think Kishi sacrificed Deidara in a non realistic way just to make Sasuke's power catch up with Naruto's. Same with Danzo. Anyway, I kinda got off topic. OT: Tactical and analytical intelligence, held back by character.
