And that, my friends, is how somebody as useless as Hidan made it into the Akatsuki.
Honestly, when you look at everybody in the Akatsuki outclasses Hidan incredibly.
He's immortal, I guess, even though some rope will keep him down and beat him. Most people can destroy him regardless, at a celluar level. Not to mention his "jutsu" takes so long to use it's near useless.
Hidan is nothing but an annoying greaser with a big sword.
