Just look at some of the reasons you posted for why you think he is underrated. Especially the one where you mentioned he SAID.... SAID, he would he will kill pain after he finished with konoha's ninja. So he's underrated for something he said? not because of something he actually did? Really?
It really started losing credibility when you claim he deserves top 25... NO just no plz stop. I get he is a cool character, i like him, and you are right he didn't become akatsuki for no reason but come on now... theres limits to these kinds of things lol
Name one member of akatsuki that would lose one on one to Hidan? ..... oh no take your time, I'll wait... ill help you out with this one. No One!! i'm, in terms of pure battle strength, Hidan is the weakest in Akatsuki.
I'm not even gonna say anything about the hinata and the sakura blowing up mountains comments.

None of them are debatable , they destroyed Hidan before he can get any blood from them . Most of them are long rage attack characters or have OP jutsus that will finish him.
Data Book is garbage & Kakashi was protecting Team Shika & not only fighting Hidan but Kakazu hearts too .
Half of your list hidan can defeat them easily.
I could not believe that you think temari, sakura, shino, jugo, sugitsu or kimimaro can defeat hidan ..
Punk please stop under rating hidan like this U_U
Yes he can but that possibility is as likely as winning the lottery.
He's not underrated, its just that his ability to become immortal is easily bypassed by lots of ninja who dont just use physical lattacks, for example he can get burned to a crisp or melt. Immortality is overrated in the nv.
Hidan is strong to those that don't know how his technique works, his battle with Shikamaru was a classic brains vs braun fight where Shikamaru's intelligence was far greater. In that battle against team 10 + Kakashi, why do you think he wasn't being serious? there was no reason for him to hold back. He just got outsmarted, I mean lets face it, the proof is in the pudding. Hidan is far from being the sharpest tool in the shed, hence his demise I am not saying he is weak I am saying he is dumb and rather loud lol.
Any ninja if you cut his head will gonna die not only hidan ..
Hidan managed to keep up with kakashi in taijutsu and his taijutsu level in databook is 5 so the guy who will fight him will find himself die before he managed to cut his head
I hate uzumaki and uchiha threads too
She has ability to destroy mountain within punch ..
He can killed them all if he managed to collect their blood ..
You can't deny that !
however I am not saying he can beat them but who knows and you must admit that he's underrated

OT: he's underrated, but I don't think he's top 25. A lot of people forget that he was nerfed in his battle against Shikamaru and Kakashi the second time around. The cord connect him and his scythe was broken. All opportunities of long range combat were out of the question.

I used to think he's one of the strongest akatsuki until I joined the base.
just come on guys !!
He's immortal .. True
He's so skilled .. Compared to who ? i mean when it comes to the basic ninja art he is like lee were he only really has tai + (in his case) 1 trick. Overall Lee has better tai then he does anyway
He never feared any enemy .. Fear and a reasonable respect are diffrent, ninja should not fear there opponet but a reasonable respect is needed. See Zabuza and Kakashi
He killed asuma within one shot .. Inaccurate They battled for a wile, then hidal "one shotted him" Then again hidan will "one shot" you or lose the fight. Thats reall it
Kakuzu was afraid of him and he said he can't kill hidan .. Inaccurate kakauzu never was scared of hidan.
He said he will kill pain after he finished with konoha's ninja .. So? 1) i am not sure if thats true (link please) and 2) if temari says she is gonna kill orochimaru does that mean its gonna happen?
He lost because he was careless not because he was weak .. Stupid and careless are different he was more of the former then the latter
Hidan deserves to be in top25~35 .. Na
Databook gave him high score 31.5/40 .. So
He didn't become an akatsuki member from nothing .. He became a akatsuki member because kakuzu keep killing his "partner" that was a nonfactor with hidan
I still don't understand why people keep underrating him ?

Naruto soloed nagato - (does that mean he's fodder? )
Sasuke soloed deidara - ( does that mean he's fodder?)
Sakura soloed sasori - (does that mean he's fodder?)
Shikamaru couldn't win without intel, preparing and kakashi's help ..
Beside hidan didn't take him seriously .
Before I start, let me point out the fact that you, and a majority of people posting on this thread, are ignorant to Hidan's abilities. "Insert technique that wouldn't hurt Hidan" GG is a pathetic way of arguing a point, especially when most of these attacks aren't even dangerous to Hidan.
First, I'll post the one's I do think can defeat Hidan here:
Obito
Madara
Naruto
Sasuke
Kakashi
Tsunade
Konan
Nagato
Sasori
Itachi
A
Bee
Danzo
The Hokages
Jiraiya
Orochimaru
Kabuto (Only DSM Kabuto)
Tsunade
Kakuzu
Deidara
Kimimaro
Suigetsu
Kisame
Second of all, saying one technique then 'GG' isn't a debate, it's complete disregard for the possible counters to each attacks. For one, you seem to be under the impression that Hidan is easy put out of commission.
Hidan has the best vitality of any character in the manga

Hidan tanks all of those without even blinking, he feels pain, but it does not affect him. Not only that, but he took Asuka's Burning Ash Like it was nothing. Another feat? He took Wind Style: Pressure damage from Kakuzu, who wields S-rank elemental ninjutsu. It did not hurt him at all. Temari's Wind Style is = to Kakuzu's Wind Style.
What's even more laughable is that you think Air Palm is even remotely capable of hurting Hidan. Their is only one way to defeat Hidan, and that is cutting of his limbs, and even then you aren't killing him.
Juugo, Chouji, Hinata, and Sakura are not capable of this. Juugo's Curse Seal just boosts his physical prowess, it does not in any way, shape, or form give him the ability to hurt Hidan.
As for Rock Lee, this is simply a worse version of him vs Gaara. He'd smack Hidan around to no avail. And that's if he's even able to use 3+ gates before he's fooled by Hidan's Blood ritual. The only weapon we've ever seen Rock Lee use is a Kunai, and he never used it in gates. This goes for Gai as well. Hirodura was only able to incapacitate a severely wounded Kisame, it's effects on Hidan would be non existent.
Second, you vastly underestimate Hidan's skills in evasion which are show so very many times:

Along with many more feats. These examples show that point attacks are useless, yes, I'm referring to poison darts. Not that poison would affect him, seeing as he's immortal. Chiyo and Kankuro have no shot, unless they have a numbing poison that hasn't been shown.
As I said, only characters who have the ability to cut off Hidan's limbs can win. Rock Lee is not capable of this. Kakashi himself was being pushed back by Hidan.
Now, back to my initial point, Hidan is an incredibly underrated character, as displayed by your post and most of the posts in this thread. He's just outside the top 25.
Also, I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just pointing out what Hidan can do, which everyone has forgotten because his character was tossed so early in the game.
Ok so the manga shows that he is hot headed and none to brite. So how is he top 25 you need to be smart and strong for that. So his temper and stupidity eliminate him from contention. If he was smarter I'd agree with you but his weakness is a significant factor.
imo hidan is the 2nd weakest akatsuki member granted he has a chance to beat most but only because of the element of surprise if you don't know his ability you would most likely die but if you do know his ability then him killing somebody becomes even less for him, hidan even mentioned that he is the slowest of the akatsuki members
also if hidan never had kakazu their he would have lost to asuma as he cut of his head
but i do believe that hidan and kakazu are a dangerous duo
