Yo, don't you go around insulting Zabuza :smalltongue: It took Kakashi to take him down. But then Zabuza appeared before the massive power creep kicked in...
Refarding Hidan... I guess he might have been the weakest one in Akatsuki (though that itself is already an accomplishment) but I'd still argue in a one on one duel his skill is pretty useful. Do we know for sure he can't just drink a lot of blood and make it work on all his enemies? It's been too long...

Also, do keep in mind that Hidan is capable of waving around a giant, three bladed sickle. He's not a push over, even without his ultimate attack.
I agree, but the thing is, this was supposed to be an organization of s rank missing nin, and the sudden plummet in world ending power between everyone else and hidan is. . . kinda drastic. As for zabuza, I wouldnt rank him as bottom of the barrel, it took an elite jounin like kakashi to take him down, raiga on the other hand, got his ass whupped by an oversized genin squad iirc. And even then, considering the plot armored naruto was involved, its hard to take it on face value.
So I deny hidan is an S rank ninja, but I DO understand WHY his character was brought into the fold. Since kakuzu kept slaughtering his partners, it made sense to bring in an unkillable guy, and they DO make a formidable pair. Its just that without support, hidan doesnt count as a major threat imo.

I don't believe we know if his power can work on multiple people at once.
Also, not dissing Zabuza at all. All I said was that "of the seven most badass guys, he's got the least amount of special powers". Dude's sword can repair itself on blood, but that's it. Everything else is pure strength and nothing much.

Re: Naruto V: Eye See Your Sharingan and Raise You a Rinnegan
His sword may be the least special as it was hard to retcon in some super-awesome power it has, but that doesn't say anything about Zabuza's power in relation to the other swordsmen. In fact, the others got very little feats shown apart from what their swords can do. Whereas taking out Zabuza and thus ending the Hidden Mist Technique was the central step in winning that battle.

Hidan is in Akatsuki because if you cut his head of and then pull his hair, pulling his hair hurts him more. And now we're talking about a guy who's technique is about sharing lethal wounds he receives with his opponent.
Added bonus is that he and Kakuzu have awesome group dynamic.

Ehh... Kisame aside, Zabuza was the only member of the Seven Swordsmen that wasn't entirely reliant upon his sword and he was definitely the strongest of the revived group by far. None of those five present during the War would have been a concern to Kakashi back in the start of Part I, y'know?

That last bit is probably like, 80% of why Hidan is actually in the group. Kakuzu kept killing his partners. So just...give him the guy that's immortal. So he'll stop killing all our best guys.

Re: Naruto V: Eye See Your Sharingan and Raise You a Rinnegan
It should also be pointed out that Hidan is the perfect decoy, let him rush in Naruto-style while waving his scythe around, and when people finaly manage to pin him down, then BAMM!, Kakuzu wipes the board with some absurd dual-elemental tech :smalltongue:
-
Re: Naruto V: Eye See Your Sharingan and Raise You a Rinnegan
Oh I will never deny that he makes a formidable duo with kakuzu I just dont think he counts as S rank.

Apparently his scythe has some gimmicks built in which he never had the time to show off.

- Hidan was excellent at Taijitsu, having a 4.5 in the databook, as well as easily keeping up if not superior to Kakashi who has a sharingan to enhance his Taijitsu skills.
- Hidan only need 1 successful attack to get off his ritual.
- We do not know if their is any range limit with the Hidan ritual. It range is at least hundrends of feat (based on the fact he could hurt Kakazu who was seperated from him), maybe even miles or hundreds of miles.
- Furthermore it is never made clear but he may be able to affect multiple people at once with his ritual (bloody multiple people, and ritual them all at once.)
- You are correct though that Hidan technique takes time, thus he needs allies to perform the technique correctly. Allies can gather up the enemies blood (since Hidan doesn't need to be the source of harm), or they can delay the enemy long enough so Hidan has time to set up the ritual.
Hidan could have been partnered with any member of akatsuki besides Deidra and Itachi and he would have been able to perform the same technique. Kakazu just could reattach body parts.

Also +1 for Morph's title, although I'm not so sure if it still needs an additional 'A' or '!' at the end.

I think it should be Naruto VI: Madara's Rapeface (or maybe just 'Get Your Rapeface On').

That's not only pushing the bounds of propiety methinks... but is also completely inaccurate.

How is it inaccurate? 'Rapeface' is a completely accepted term on the internet.
It almost always has absolutely nothing to do with actual rape, and is usually poking fun at the patently ABSURD and absolutely over the top facial expression of a particular character.
10 seconds with google search produced this image:
A couple other absurd ones, found after another 10 seconds on google:

Re: Naruto V: Eye See Your Sharingan and Raise You a Rinnegan
Its completely inaccurate because it has the relationship backwards of course.
Also one generally doesn't use the same language in the playground one does on the internet.
