I know you have more than 1 but what is your greatest reason to ship hidakona?
WhY dO U AsK mEh sUcH a ThInG??!!!!!
The angel to my devilThe greaser to my dollThe yin to my yangThe geisha to my samurai.
The goth aesthetic to my goth aesthetic
How about all cus they’re perfect.
In every aspect, violent, loving, maniacs, gentle, soft, clingy, blood, dark, fluffy, confident, fragile, power game, power couple and deep and complicated development.
Okay enough fangirling. Outside from the spiritual and religious symbolism the pair has, I will get into why I ship them at all.
Konan is a calm cruel cold woman, or she at least appears to be. She wants to bury her kind self. She’s a woman In a high position of power, that takes no bullshit from anyone.
Hidan is a loud mouth religious fanatic with his own set of goals and rules to follow. Hates authority and takes no shit from no one.
Hidan likes to annoy cold stoic people (like kakuzu) and he loathes and disrespects Pein, something that Konan can not tolerate.
Hidan would like to annoy her, insult her, flirt with her. It brings him such delight when he can break someones cold demeanor and have them attack him. He loves to annoy people like her. It’s his hobby.
Konan is a strong woman who doesn’t take his bullshit. Not a shallow person who would fall for his charm like any other woman. Konan I think at first sees Hidan as an annoyance and a moron who knows nothing about her and Pein’s relationship. And is just an annoyance to her.
Hidan likes to annoy her much like he loves to annoy Kakuzu. Hidan is good at finding people’s weaknesses and getting under their skin. He would love to see typical “stoic” Konan display some emotions on her face for once, even if it was unbridled rage for him calling her “Pein’s lap dog”
(Hidan’s look analyzing Kakuzu and determining his weaknesses.)
This where the similarities between Kakuzu and Hidan’s relationship and Hidan’s relationship to Konan end.
Because unlike Kakuzu, Konan has a more softer side that she hides under her cool exterior.
But I think she is probably one of the few who can see a deeper side to Hidan.
Hidan does have his own religion and own rules to follow. But he disobeys those rules to follow Akatsuki orders. Konan will appreciate Hidan when he does a good job on missions. She is probably one of the few that would respect his religion.
Well at least not at first.
As I said, Konan thinks he’s a loud homicidal maniac with no regard or concern for other’s safety.
But the longer he stays in Akatsuki, I think she can see how loyal he is to the cause. It would be pointless to insult his religion or beliefs. Because that’s one of the similarities they do share. Both of them are servants of an Uncaring Cruel God.
Konan is an angel to a false God who doesn’t appreciate her, and blames her for the death of his closest friend. Resulting in a strained relationship over many years.
Hidan is a member of a religious cult to a God who abandoned him. (If his immortality is real we can assume Jashin is real. Hidan was not saved by his god leaving Shikamaru’s speech of: “The only one reigning down judgement is me” the last thing he hears before he’s forced into a eternal coma)
Hidan and Konan are both servants of God whose God doesn’t appreciate them as much as they think.
Konan feels no right to judge Hidan for his beliefs and is one of the few I believe Hidan can just rant forever about Jashinism without being judged or being told to shut up. Konan is curious, since the cult is so little known about and he has fascinating abilities.
Plus… Hidan already respects her majorly even at the “teasing” and “bullying” stage. And HIdan respects no one. Not Pein, not Kakuzu. He hates authority, so why would he respect an authority figure?
Her proposition and the idea of her ideals interested him.
(not to mention she plays along with his joke and gets him to show a genuine smile at her. )
And in Naruto SD (comic only) It’s shown that Hidan even says: “Even someone thickheaded like me gets to call her angel.”
Hidan is shown as having respect for Konan while he possesses none for Pein or anyone else.
I like where this can lead into their development and Hidan battling his “hell-fire” demons like Frollo.
Not to mention, a man who wishes for nothing but war meets a woman who was raised in a warzone, a Woman who wishes for nothing but peace meets a man who was raised in a peaceful village. Their paths cross and their futures intertwine.
Hidan does have a goofy side which can remind Konan of Yahiko at times.
The relationship can be very tragic on Shakesperain levels, While also being very clingy.
I think the best part of them as a relationship is that Konan would never try to get Hidan to change his ways. She is used to killers. She understands the importance of faith. She wouldn’t force him to change who he is. Hidan can respect that and usually if he’s treated with kindness he’ll be kind back. He’d be far more adamant about her converting to Jashinism though. (just cause he hates Pein)
So the too long didn’t read version that boils down to the main reason:
“I can’t get enough of a dark and evil man just madly, desperately in love with a good woman.”
I talk about Hidan Respecting her
Naruto SD: Hidan calls her an angel.
For those Who think “Their ideals will clash” I have a rant for that too
What Konan’s “Ideals” are and how she achieves and views “Peace”
How Hidan and Konan’s Relationship benefits Nagato and Itachi.
How Hidan is similar to Yahiko and what Konan would see in him
Plus Hidakona is a pairing that lends itself very well to music. Goth/Metal/Dance/Everysongaboutanythingremotelydarkromance.
