Hidan Episode Appearance Masterlist

-------

I am working towards being the foremost Yashamaru scholar in the world bc that man fascinates me and no one wants to talk about him at length. However know that Rock Lee & Gaara are my littlest guys and honestly take up so much of my thoughts

Avid defender of Sakura and her rights to be an annoying teenage girl

-------

I'm not super familiar with the anime filler arcs but working on watching them with my friend and currently reached Shippuden-era whatever in my reread of the manga (Tho I have a bunch of random trivia and knowledge about adaptional differences between the manga & part 1 anime!)

Sadly I am watching SOME of the Boruto anime (Metal Lee episodes. I like him.) and started reading the manga because i hate myself I guess, tho i am knowledge about later manga things if you are curious I suppose. I don't recommend it tho.

Thank you for reading Kankuros first design was his best one and i take no arguments ❤️ Stan Tsunade

good morning to 35 year old puppets who look like theyre 15 and taxidermied their president, 19 year old pretty boy bi arsonists with body horror, tired origami enthusiasts trying to run an evil organization, body piercing enthusiasts not at all doing a good job running the same organizatiom, 30 year olds pretending to be twelve just to make the 19 year old arsonists life hell, shark men who love big swords and are just there to have a good time, goth older brothers with murder charges and trauma almost as big as their perscription glasses, immortals who can not be killed but sure can be buried alive, immortals who are just a bunch of worms in stitched up flesh and a love for capitalism, and of course zetsu

Redesign of the Akatsuki robes bc I really like its design but it would have been more interesting if every Akatsuki wore it differently.

More details:

The length of the sleeves and robe depends on the need for mobilty of each character, which in turn depends on their fighting styles and abilities. Characters like Kisame and Sasori have shorter sleeves bc they need their arms free to fight. Itachi wearing a longer robe is bc he usually fights with genjutsu, it is also a sign of shameless pride to boast that he doesn't need movement to defeat an opponent.

Uchiha clothing usually have that same high collar thingy that the base Akatsuki robe gets and Obito and Itachi wear it open on purpose, to show their distance with the clan. Also Obito's collar gets bigger and pointier with each change.

Obito's shift from Tobi to Madara makes it seem like he tore his long sleeves. His silhouette is also hidden until the war where he becomes more reckless and stops caring about hiding his identity so carefully. He also got rid of the sleeve that hid the zetsu arm, the not-human one (both bc of symbolism and bc he tends to lose the arm often).

Hidan and Kakuzu seemingly represent the opposite of their themes, religion and money respectively. Hidan looks like a half naked anarchist (which is kind of way off "orthodoxy vibes") though he still has the Jashin jewlery. On the other hand Kakuzu looks homeless but that's bc he's so greedy and stingy he refuses to buy more clothes.

Pain/Nagato and Konan are the only ones with the basic robe bc they're the ones who feel more emotionally connected to the Akatsuki. They get more red bc of the "blood rain" symbolism.

I tried to add to those few hints at modern vibes in Deidara and Hidan's base designs while keeping the shinobi aesthetic bc it fits their character, and after all they are the youngest.

Overall I also did some small redesigns to everyone's base character design.

It was challenging to play around with the Akatsuki robe while also trying to make their character designs more telling of how they are as people but that's precisely why it was fun. I'll be using these when drawing the Akatsuki from now on.

I really like how Kakuzu turned out on the right page

[yashumaru]

The cutest detail about Rock Lee figures is that the put the “ninja” in the highlights of his hair like that one screencap

[yashumaru]

Hidan having less canon screentime but more filler vs Kakuzu more canon screentime but less filler is so funny

Perfectly balanced
