Background / History

Early life and Jashin’s blessing

Hidan was an orphan raised within the Jashin Cult and initially served as a trainee. He secretly entered the cult’s Blood Pool during its annual festival and emerged alive, declaring himself Jashin’s most loyal representative. The blessing granted him immortality and curse power, immediately elevating him above ordinary cultists. 2

His arrival coincided with Kamizuki Simu’s emergence from the same pool. Hidan took Simu’s claim to be Jashin’s chief representative as a personal insult and attacked him at once. Though Simu repeatedly beheaded and dismembered him, Hidan’s body remained active and recoverable. 2 3 4

Simu’s rival and test subject

Hidan repeatedly attempted to assassinate Simu, only to be decapitated and used for genetic analysis in return. The Jashin Cult’s leader later had Hidan demonstrate his abilities in a laboratory, confirming that Hidan could transfer self-inflicted wounds to a target after obtaining that target’s blood. 5 6

Over the next three months, his constant failed attacks on Simu became brutal training. Although he never overcame Simu, he developed far greater taijutsu ability and learned to fight without regard for his own injuries. 11 16

Simu later implanted Hidan with the Parasitic Spider Kagune. Hidan initially rejected the enhancement, but quickly embraced it after discovering that its silk could reconnect his severed body, retrieve his weapon, and restore him from otherwise disabling injuries. 13 14 18

Conflict with Kikuchi Miura

During the mission against Gato, Hidan clashed with Kikuchi Miura, a senior Jashin Cult operative. Miura used Water Release, explosive tags, clones, and restraint techniques to exploit the operational limits of Hidan’s immortality, repeatedly decapitating and immobilizing him. 17 18

Hidan ultimately turned the battle around with Parasitic Spider silk. After grazing Miura with his spear and acquiring his blood, Hidan completed the Jashin Ritual and pierced his own heart, inflicting the same fatal wound on Miura. 18

The Cult Leader’s possession and aftermath

When the Cult Leader used Living Corpse Reincarnation to take over Simu’s body, Hidan recognized the impostor because the possessed body behaved too patiently toward him. Believing Simu’s soul had been erased, Hidan fought the Cult Leader without hesitation despite the risk of destroying Simu’s body. 39 40

Hidan activated the Jashin Ritual, killed the Cult Leader through Simu’s body, and began massacring the Jashin Cult out of grief and rage. Simu later revealed that he had survived, leaving Hidan embarrassed, furious, and once again unable to challenge him successfully. 40 41

Akatsuki membership

Hidan fought alongside Simu against Pain and Konan, enduring Pain’s Shinra Tensei and having his Chakra disrupted by a black receiver. Despite his injuries, he returned to defend Simu from Konan with the Three-Moon Blood Scythe and vowed to take Pain’s blood for a future Jashin Ritual. 65 66 67

After the confrontation, Pain accepted Simu and Hidan into Akatsuki. Hidan selected Three Platforms as his code name and received an Akatsuki ring, though he initially proposed sacrificing every member of the organization—including the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path—to Jashin. Simu restrained him when he attempted to continue attacking Tobi. 71 72

During Akatsuki’s operation to seize Amegakure, Hidan was paired with Simu to defend against forces from the Land of Wind. He later used his newly installed Ukaku to assault an Amegakure outpost near Salamander Ibuse’s poisonous swamp while Simu pursued the summoned beast. 95 96

Hidan subsequently fought Sunagakure forces, surviving decapitation through Parasitic Spider silk and using his enhanced speed to overwhelm Taya. While Simu forced the surviving Sand ninja to accept Jashin Cult markings, Hidan continued to present conversion and sacrifice as the only alternatives for their enemies. 100

Sasori’s recruitment

Following Simu’s assault on Sunagakure, Hidan transported the unconscious Gaara through the desert while evading repeated Sunagakure pursuit teams with the aid of Simu’s prepared hideouts. He was confronted by Sasori of the Red Sand, who tested Hidan’s durability with puppets, poison, and weapons. 131

Hidan destroyed Sasori’s initial puppets but was outmaneuvered by the Third Kazekage puppet’s Iron Sand. Sasori spread Iron Sand throughout the battlefield, implanted it in Hidan’s wounds, and used Magnetic Lock to immobilize him beneath an Iron Sand Triangular Prism. Simu intervened before the attack could crush Hidan. 132

Simu recruited Sasori into the Jashin Cult by appealing to his interest in advanced life-making and soul-manipulation techniques. Hidan objected out of insecurity over his status as the cult’s God Child, but reluctantly accepted Sasori as a junior after Simu reminded him that future sparring matches could erase the embarrassment of his defeat. 133

Hidan and Sasori later developed an open rivalry, with Sasori repeatedly using Iron Sand and puppets to restrain Hidan during their arguments. Simu routinely ended their conflicts by beheading or otherwise restraining Hidan. Sasori was eventually formally introduced as an Akatsuki member alongside Orochimaru. 136 148

Kirigakure operation

While travelling through the Land of Waves, Hidan and Simu confronted Zabuza Momochi and declared their intention to kill the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, to end Kirigakure’s Bloody Mist Policy. Hidan intercepted Zabuza’s opening attack and fought him throughout the latter’s Hidden Mist Technique. 269 270

Although Hidan initially refused to use it out of pride, he activated his transplanted Byakugan to see through the mist and force Zabuza into close combat. He then consumed a red insect and released Tailed Beast Chakra, allowing him to overpower Zabuza’s Water Release and eventually cut him badly enough to obtain his blood. 270 271

Hidan began the Jashin Ritual and transferred wounds inflicted on himself to Zabuza, but Simu intervened before he could complete the sacrifice. Simu considered Zabuza more valuable as a recruit and easily subdued Hidan after the latter deactivated his Byakugan. 271

Appearance

Hidan is initially depicted as a blood-covered boy who appears roughly eleven or twelve years old. He has silver hair usually slicked back, pale skin, and a manic grin; he commonly wears monochrome clothing or a long black trench coat. 2 7 28

• Silver, slicked-back hair. 2 39
• Pale complexion, often splattered with blood after combat. 16
• Wears a black-and-white ritual form after activating the Jashin Ritual: black skin covered in white markings. 2 18
• Carries a pitch-black spear as his primary weapon. 2 16
• Can produce spider silk from the neck and other body parts after receiving the Parasitic Spider Kagune. 14 18
• Forms red, flame-like Ukaku from his back after Simu’s further modifications. 96
• Wears Akatsuki robes after joining the organization. 269
• Can reveal a transplanted Byakugan from his forehead. 270
• Becomes wreathed in dark-red Tailed Beast Chakra when using his red-insect transformation. 270 271

Personality

Hidan is a violent, arrogant fanatic whose devotion to Jashin is inseparable from his love of pain, bloodshed, and sacrifice. He treats severe injuries as pleasurable experiences and considers anyone without Jashin’s blessing to be an insincere believer unworthy of respect. 2 16 37

He is impulsive and openly dismissive of planning, intelligence gathering, and study. He cannot read, has not meaningfully engaged with books for years, and prefers direct killing to preparation or strategy. 9 14 47

Despite his hostility toward Simu, Hidan develops an intense attachment to him. He regards Simu as the only fellow representative he truly cares about, recognizes him through his behavior rather than appearance, and becomes willing to destroy the cult when he believes Simu has died. 7 39 40

Hidan’s pride is easily exploited, especially when his status as Jashin’s God Child or his combat ability is questioned. He becomes intensely insecure after Sasori defeats and restrains him, but accepts Sasori’s recruitment because it promises future chances to reclaim his reputation. 132 133 148

Although he prefers fighting directly, Hidan accepts Simu’s modifications when they make him stronger. He is particularly eager to test new abilities in battle, even while insisting that he is only reluctantly accepting Simu’s help. 47 96 270

Abilities & Skills

Immortal Body

Hidan’s core blessing is an immortal body that survives injuries which would instantly kill ordinary people.

• Remains alive after impalement, explosions, burning, decapitation, and dismemberment. 2 12 14
• His detached head and body can continue acting independently. 3
• Recovers rapidly from physical damage, including wounds that shatter bones or pierce the heart. 17 40
• Still requires food and can suffer hunger despite claiming he does not need to eat. 10
• Can be restrained, immobilized, or separated into pieces even if he cannot be killed outright. 17 18
• Displays extreme resistance to poison, Fire Release, Lightning Release, blades, and conventional physical attacks. 131
• His immortality persists so long as Jashin remains alive; Simu concludes that permanent containment through complete separation of his body parts is more practical than attempting to kill him. 69

Jashin Ritual

Also called Jujutsu: Shiji Hyoketsu, Hidan’s curse ritual synchronizes damage dealt to himself with a blood-linked target.

• Requires him to obtain and ingest the target’s blood. 5 40
• Requires him to stand inside the Jashin Cult symbol: a triangle enclosed by a circle. 2 40
• Transforms his skin black with white markings while active. 2 18
• Self-inflicted wounds are mirrored on the cursed target. 2 7
• Killed a bandit by piercing his own heart and later killed Kikuchi Miura through the same method. 7 18
• Cannot affect an enemy whose blood he has not acquired. 5 18
• After obtaining Zabuza’s blood, transferred wounds from his own body to Zabuza during their battle at sea, though Simu stopped him before he could complete the sacrifice. 271

Parasitic Spider

A Kagune variant created and implanted by Simu, primarily used for silk manipulation and bodily reconstruction.

• Fires silk from Hidan’s neck and body to reconnect severed parts. 14 18
• Allows him to reattach detached limbs and restore his body after dismemberment. 14 50
• Can pull his spear back or alter its trajectory using silk threads. 18
• Allows his severed head to be pulled back and stitched onto his body within seconds. 100
• Can bind opponents who strike him at close range, as demonstrated against Zabuza. 270
• Simu retains control over the Kagune and can prevent it from restoring Hidan. 14 41

Kagune Transformation

Hidan can shape his Kagune into a large crimson Three-Moon Blood Scythe.

• Forms from his shoulder blades as a broad, triple-curved cutting weapon. 47
• Demonstrates Hidan’s capacity to use Kagune creatively rather than solely for regeneration. 47
• Used to defend Simu against Konan’s paper attacks despite Hidan’s severe injuries. 67
• Serves as Hidan’s primary weapon in later battles against Sasori, Sunagakure ninja, and Zabuza. 131 132 270

Ukaku

Simu custom-builds a pair of red Ukaku for Hidan after further modifying his body.

• Manifest as two flame-like red structures from his back. 96
• Greatly increase Hidan’s acceleration and mobility. 96
• Allow him to fly or propel himself through the air briefly. 96
• Can provide a second burst of speed during combat. 131

Byakugan

Hidan possesses a transplanted Byakugan that emerges from his forehead.

• Allows him to perceive through visual obstructions such as the Hidden Mist Technique. 270
• Eliminated Zabuza’s concealment advantage and enabled Hidan to engage him directly in close combat. 270
• Hidan initially avoids using it because he wants to prove that he can defeat opponents without Simu’s enhancements. 270

Tailed Beast Chakra Transformation

Hidan can consume a red insect to release an enormous quantity of dark-red Tailed Beast Chakra.

• The transformation surrounds his body and Three-Moon Blood Scythe with violent chakra. 270
• Greatly enhances his strength, speed, durability, and offensive output. 270 271
• Allows him to destroy Zabuza’s Water Dragon Bullet Technique with a single chakra-infused scythe strike. 271
• Combined with his Immortal Body, it lets him overwhelm elite close-range opponents by freely exchanging injuries for decisive attacks. 271

Taijutsu and Spear Combat

Hidan fights with extreme aggression, accepting enemy attacks in exchange for opportunities to wound them.

• His three months of combat with Simu substantially improve his speed and physical force. 11 16
• Uses a self-sacrificial style that abandons defense to land spear strikes. 16
• Can overwhelm ordinary cultists and survive exchanges that would be fatal to conventional fighters. 16 21
• His combat ability is strong enough to pressure the Cult Leader even while the latter controls Simu’s Kagune. 40
• His close-range skill, heavy scythe, regeneration, and willingness to trade wounds allow him to gradually overpower Zabuza after activating the Byakugan. 270
• His direct style can be countered by opponents with superior battlefield control, as Sasori demonstrates with Iron Sand and Magnetic Lock. 132

Elemental Ninjutsu

Simu modifies Hidan’s body to refine all five elemental Chakra natures and embeds ninjutsu knowledge directly into him. 46

• Uses Fire Style: Flame Bullet to launch explosive flames. 47
• Uses Earth Style: Earth Wall as cover and defense. 47
• Uses Dochu Senko no Jutsu to travel underground and launch surprise attacks. 47
• Attempts Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, though Simu criticizes his poor tactical use of ninjutsu. 47

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Pitch-black spear — Hidan’s primary weapon; used to wound targets, perform the Jashin Ritual, and impale both himself and opponents. 2 16 18
• Three-Moon Blood Scythe — A large crimson Kagune weapon formed from Hidan’s shoulder blades and used as his principal close-combat weapon. 47 270

Relationships

• Jashin — Hidan’s god and the source of his immortality and curse power; Hidan is obsessively devoted to offering sacrifices in Jashin’s name. 2 7
• Kamizuki Simu — Rival, controller, trainer, and the person Hidan ultimately cares about most. Simu repeatedly humiliates and upgrades him, while Hidan becomes violently protective when he believes Simu has died. 5 11 39 41
• Jashin Cult Leader — Raised Hidan within the cult, but Hidan holds little affection for him and eagerly attacks after learning he has taken Simu’s body. 6 39 40
• Kikuchi Miura — Senior cult operative and temporary supervisor; Miura initially defeats and restrains Hidan, but Hidan later kills him through the Jashin Ritual. 14 17 18
• Jashin Cult members — Hidan views most cultists as weak or hypocritical believers and terrorizes them with casual threats of sacrifice. 5 16 37
• Pain / Nagato — Akatsuki’s leader and an enemy Hidan wishes to sacrifice after their battle. Pain recruits Hidan into Akatsuki and assigns him missions alongside Simu. 66 72 95
• Tobi — Hidan immediately attacks Tobi for insulting Jashin, but cannot harm him because of Tobi’s space-time ability. 72
• Sasori — Initially an opponent who defeats Hidan through Iron Sand battlefield control, then becomes Hidan’s fellow Jashin Cultist and Akatsuki companion. Their relationship remains openly hostile and competitive. 132 133 148
• Zabuza Momochi — A Kirigakure opponent Hidan nearly sacrifices after overpowering him with Tailed Beast Chakra and the Jashin Ritual; Simu stops Hidan in order to recruit Zabuza instead. 270 271

Trivia

• Cultists call Hidan the “Immortal Demon” out of fear; some privately prefer a far less flattering nickname but are too afraid to say it. 9
• He is illiterate and cannot read ninjutsu scrolls, which is why Simu embeds ninjutsu knowledge directly into his body. 9 46
• Hidan loves pork cutlets and can be manipulated or provoked through food despite his boasts about immortality. 10 15
• He enjoys pain intensely, including injuries from explosions and self-inflicted ritual wounds. 2 17 18
• His rivalry with Sasori begins partly because Sasori’s Iron Sand techniques can restrain Hidan without needing to kill him. 132 148
• Despite his revulsion toward most insects, he reluctantly consumes a red insect when he needs to access his Tailed Beast Chakra transformation. 269 270
