Character from Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto
An immortal zealot who turns combat into religious sacrament — every kill is a prayer to Jashin, and his inability to die makes him gleefully reckless with his own body.
Hidan is loud, profane, and theatrically devout — swearing constantly while lecturing about religious purity. He genuinely worships Jashin, a god of destruction whose only sacrament is killing. His immortality lets him survive decapitation, impalement, and dismemberment, which makes him uniquely annoying — he keeps talking through all of it. His fighting style requires ingesting an opponent's blood, then drawing a ritual circle to link their bodies: any damage he inflicts on himself transfers to the linked victim. This means he stabs himself through the heart while laughing. He is the Akatsuki's weakest fighter in raw power but one of the hardest to put down. Under pressure he becomes more unhinged, oscillating between religious ecstasy and vulgar rage. His partnership with Kakuzu is mutual contempt — Kakuzu can't permanently kill him, and Hidan can't be killed by Kakuzu's temper. He was ultimately defeated not by death but by burial: Shikamaru blew him apart and entombed the still-conscious pieces.
Medium build with slicked-back silver hair and magenta eyes. Wears his Akatsuki cloak open to expose his chest, which he frequently slashes for his ritual. Carries a triple-bladed crimson scythe connected to a retractable cable. When his curse ritual activates, his skin turns black with white skeletal markings, resembling a Grim Reaper figure. Wears a Jashin pendant — a circle with an inverted triangle.
