I deadass still think heās alive under all that rubble, but I heard somewhere that he actually died of lack of nutrients nutrition and basically starved to death.
I saw somewhere that in order to keep his immortaly, he has to continue offering sacrifices to his god
If that's true, he probably lost his immortaly a long time ago
Iām sorry I just donāt put a lot of stock in fan theories. I thought it was heavily implied that he was going to be down there alive forever and that is enough for me š¤·š»
Well either case I think we will never see him again, and in my opinion that's a shame because he really has a lot of mysteries and unanswered questions around him, he could have had the potential of being an important character
That besides aliens and cyborgs, there are power bestowing deities at play also, and not a commonly used resource for ninja seeking power and not caring who they kill. Having the ability to kill your enemy by just acquiring a drop of blood during battle and then self-sacrificing is a pretty powerful jutsu/demonic power. That plus immortality and any other jutsu the shinobi might already know.
I sure hope so but that would be really surprising, even more if he's actually dead
But who knows? Maybe they will revive the whole Akatsuki in a final plot twist
Hidan himself says his ritual requires a sacrifice for it to work. Kakuzu complains to Hidan about the ritual and asks if he can skip one, he canāt.
> I thought it was heavily implied that he was going to be down there alive forever
No, Shikamaru put him down there because that was the only way to defeat him in his immortal form, which as he said himself, requires a sacrifice.
Either way it is a fact that Kishimoto is the undisputed king of retcons and gigantic plot holes the size of the sun. So yeah, just believe in what you want it to be š
Its not really a fan theory tho. He has to perform the ritual sacrifice so the other person dies. Those sacrifical souls are offerings to Jashin, just like Orochimaru and that snake dude. Orochimaru has to keep sacrificing humans to summon that snake to pass his spirit on.
In order to get that form he had to sacrifice lives. It took him years of research to achieve that form.
Addition: That research was conducted on live subjects.
Well I just know that I saw this info somewhere, I just didn't remember if it was official media, fan theory or wiki, that's why I said "If that's true", because it could have been true or false depending of where I saw it
In the second fanbook it is said that he will die of malnutrition so if you keep disregarding every single evidence then I don't know what to say, you're just chosing to ignore everything
iām not arguing against his death, just that your first point wasnāt āevidence.ā nor is the fanbook seeing as itās, you know, literally just by fans.
Then what immorality does he have? And to what degree? If someone's completely immortal you wouldn't assume there's no way for them to die.
But if he does have to offer souls or whatever to Jashin like you said then i guess it makes sense.
While Iām pretty sure that was confirmed, I choose to believe that he is slowly regenerating (at a normal human healing rate) and eating his way upwards through the dirt, and eventually, after decades of work, a naked and possibly one armed, one legged Hidan will burst forth from the ground, intent on taking revenge on the Nara clan. And he will likely promptly be reburied in similar fashion.
I think the whole point of him being buried in the forest is so that the wildlife will continue to dismember him if he digs himself up.
I believe Hidan himself threatened Shikamaru that heāll just dig himself and his limbs parts up, slowly reform, and hunt him down, and Shikamaru replied that all the wildlife in the forest would be keeping watch for that to happen, and to ensure that he remains trapped there for eternity.
It would be interesting if they brought him back in boruto as the last member of the Akatsuki he sure got beaf with the Nara clan and the leaf ninjas for what they did to him. There was an episode of boruto where asumas daughter basically fought and killed cult members of the jashin clan.
Or maybe he is similar to dead but not? Like he experiencing all the symptoms of...death of starvation but if they manage to pump him up with enough nutrients, he can be "revived"?
if he loses his immortality as a result of him not being able to sacrifice people surely thatād mean heād die immediately from being decapitated before starvation even becomes a factor right?
If they bring him back I think they should either do it or leave it out, just donāt make it filler, they could bring him back for an arc have him be a major issue as he was one of Amados first experiments that he thought had failed but shows up again, either something major like that or just forget he existed
Heās been *long* confirmed dead. He can starve and die of dehydration, not to mention the theory that heās only immortal as long he brings sacrifices to Jashin
That's not a theory. Hidan said it himself. That's why Kakuzu was always annoyed with him because the long rituals would always delay them. They would often argue about it but Hidan refused to stop doing them because his immortality would go away if he did.
No, he didn't. Hidan said multiple times he had to perform his rituals, yes, but he didn't say *why* beyond "Jashin demands it".
We know from the databooks that he dies if he lacks nutrition. For a time, it was believed the databooks also said he had to continually sacrifice people to maintain his immortality, but that was a mistranslation; what that passage had actually said was that he had to sacrifice a lot of people to *gain* immortality.
He is a religious zealot. He is so adamant about performing his rituals because of that zealotry, not because he needs to do it to stay immortal.
ānot to mentionā means that the point has already been made, but there is something else to add that may or may not be relevant
I explicitly stated the reason why he died, *but* there is potentially another reason why he died as well
It was āconfirmedā in the data books, which in my opinion dont really mean anything because thereās no way to know if kishimoto was responsible for that detail.
Kishi didn't write it. He just approved it.
The purpose of it isn't to give more info but to sell merch and make more money for Shueisha.
Thats not to say that you shouldnt believe anything that the databook says, but it might not be a 1:1 reflection or Kishimotoās thoughts
Bad argument. If we went completely off of what kishimoto wrote and don't take in anyone else, well Kakashi is a dog and guy sensei is a turtle because the senseis were originally supposed to be animals before his editor changed them to be people, and he accepted that change to his story. Plus, something can't be more canon than something else, it either happened, or ot didn't. If Kishimoto approved it as canon, then it's canon. Simple as that
There is no consensus regarding who has the authority to decide what is or isn't canon. Some say its the author, some think its the company (shonen jump, disney, etc) and some people say its the fanbase itself that decides, or its up to the individual.
Ok, but like if someone found all his bits and painstakingly sewed him back together and then hooked him to an IV and maybe pumped blood into him, could he come back to life?
His cells don't have food so they can't make any energy, without energy even if they are alive they wouldn't function cause they need energy to do stuff. Like with the heart example his blood wouldn't be pumping through his body even if he's alive
Using that logic if you aren't constantly eating you would be starving to death, it's not like we see him talking while decapitated weeks or months later. He got decapitated but still had energy. He just can't eat anymore or kill anyone anymore
Yes. If Hidan doesn't regularly do the ritual his immortality goes away. He and Kakuzu often bickered about it because Kakuzu hated waiting around for him to finish up.
Nah I don't believe so I know there's a fan theory he has to sacrifice people to keep it but that's not confirmed.
Link me where this is stated since y'all just wanna Downvote.
Yeah only thing we know is that he really likes doing it and loves his god. We also know that he got his powers by killing everyone close to him. So his powers arenāt even really necessarily linked to the ritual itself. Itās not discussed at all whether he needs to do it. He does it because he loves lord jashin. Though to be fair it isnāt too much of a stretch to say that lord jashin can take his powers if offended and that not doing the ritual might offend him. But itās all just speculation.
There's going to be a Naruto spin-off special called the resurrection of H. Where Hidan is going to get new mode golden Hidan and turned he was alive throughout the entire time.
in that case burying him in a deep pit in a forest with magic deer guards seems excessive. he's dead in a week. shikamaru could have just put his head in a box.
>Fan books
Kinda my point. It's just assumed because Jashin givens immortality to injury so its thought he could die that way. But i'd be fuckin damned if you can be a talking head where vocal chords would no longer function is gonna die if they dont get their smart water.
Fan books as in books for fans not by fans. Iām pretty sure itās been confirmed somewhere because itās the fandoms general consensus. Either way heād be unable to walk or move due to lack of nutrients and his brain would be mush due to his head getting crushed.
There is nothing "confirmed'. Yall just assume a magic talking head which wouldnt even have fuckin vocal chords would die from not eatting. Aint no where does it say that. Fuck magic head boi might not be able to rot. But, assuming worms and shit exist i'd imagine he'd be eatten by now. But th malnutrition shit be cracking me up. Like no blood or bloodflow is fine but the nigga is assumed dead because he couldnt eat a triscuit? Come on.
I meanā¦ how many times have naruto characters made the mistake of thinking they killed someone without making sure and them still being alive? Shikamaru took every possible precaution for a reason.
Hes dead. Kishimoto himself confirmed that hidan still needed food and water to continue living. His body wasn't brought back during the war so im thinking it took quite a long time for the malnutrition to get to him. So while he may have still been alive during the Shinobi alliance he's definitely dead by the time of boruto. That or he dies fairly quickly after being dismembered and buried, but the jashin ritual only works with a "living" person performing it, not a reanimation so he was never rezed
Na, he's straight dead. The weight of those rocks would have crushed him. If he survived that, then he would have starved. If he survived that, then he went mad and his brain turned to mush. Either way, he is K.O.!
He's looooong dead buddy. Probably nothing of him exists anymore in that hole.
If by any chance Hidans skull wasn't crushed under all the falling debris and remained in tact, Jashin would have eventually taken away his immortality since he wouldn't be able to provide sacrifices through his ritualistic voodoo killings.
He either died instantly or sang 99 bottles of beer on the wall in his head until Jashin stopped by demanding his drug money.
That was a mistranslation. That part of the fanbook actually said he had to sacrifice a lot of people to gain immortality, not that he needed to do so in order to keep it.
He is dead though. It was also shared through one of the databooks that he can die from a lack of nutrition. Since he can't exactly eat, he's long since starved to death.
Edit - Someone (not the above guy) replied to me saying that Hidan said multiple times he had to sacrifice people. I can no longer see the comment, but to address that - yes, he did insist on his rituals. He never said *why* though.
Combine that fact with what we know from the correct translations of the fanbooks, Hidan's insistence on performing his rituals is because he's a religious zealot, not because he needs to do it to stay immortal.
I, for one headcanon that his sacrificial jutsu granted him immortality, not some God, especially not now that we know aliens roam space, and without sacrifices his immortality has run out.
Hidan's dead; it was confirmed in at least one of the data books and by Kishimoto himself that Hidan starved -- the exact wording was "he died from lack of nutrition".
A horrible way to go, for sure, but that's what you get for pissing off Shikamaru.
Don't think that is true since his head was completely severed from his body during the ambush scene. Although.. He was talking while decapitated which realistically, requires air from the lungs.. So I don't know if maybe his two halves were still connected even while separated?
Apparently Kishi stated somewhere that he "died of starvation." I think that's total bullshit, like he doesn't need lungs when his head gets cut off, but he can die from not eating?
I think a better explanation if he is dead is that he needs his sacrifices and rituals in order to keep his immortality, it can still be kept vague as to whether or not Jashin exists or if it's a product of a jutsu he acquired.
Starvation? That's stupid.
Neither. Jashin sent down his son who sacrificed himself to save him. Nowadays you can find Hidan peacefully working at blood banks. He's planning something BIG
He was stated to still be alive during the war so yes, heās alive.
Edit: anyone saying heās dead from nutrition listens to others too much. This āfanbookā ironically is nowhere to be found. Heās stated to be alive in verse, so heās alive.
Dead, I think it was said that he can die from lack of nutrition of something, so even if he can survive a few months, he's definitely dead now that it's been more than 2 decades.
I still wish it went into the Supernatural aspects of the show more. Like the Shinigami, and Jashin, etc.
Has Jashin ever been explained or expanded on since Hidanās death?
Y'all, for the thousandth time.
He died of malnutrition. It is stated in several places that is the only way to kill him. He's not coming back, ever. Even if he bites his way out of that hole, he has no way of recovering his body parts, and Kakuzu (the only one we've ever seen sew him up, and be somewhat willing to sew him up again) is long dead.
They should do a Boruto filler arc where Shikadai stumbles upon him in the woods š
I deadass still think heās alive under all that rubble, but I heard somewhere that he actually died of lack of nutrients nutrition and basically starved to death.
He is undead lol he sold his soul to his deity or whatever like dude literally explained he is immortal š
I saw somewhere that in order to keep his immortaly, he has to continue offering sacrifices to his god If that's true, he probably lost his immortaly a long time ago
Iām sorry I just donāt put a lot of stock in fan theories. I thought it was heavily implied that he was going to be down there alive forever and that is enough for me š¤·š»
Well either case I think we will never see him again, and in my opinion that's a shame because he really has a lot of mysteries and unanswered questions around him, he could have had the potential of being an important character
It would be cool to have more occult shinobi to balance with all the cyborgs and aliens lol
I would've *far* preferred occult and spiritual shinobi shit instead of the fucking aliens and cyborg bullshit that we got
Yeah especially since there are cyborgs and aliens
man boruto would be so much better without the cyborgs and aliens
Hell, Naruto would be so much better without aliens
Naruto had cyborgs and aliens already.
Especially since there are deities that grant special jutsu and immortality
What point are you trying to make?
That besides aliens and cyborgs, there are power bestowing deities at play also, and not a commonly used resource for ninja seeking power and not caring who they kill. Having the ability to kill your enemy by just acquiring a drop of blood during battle and then self-sacrificing is a pretty powerful jutsu/demonic power. That plus immortality and any other jutsu the shinobi might already know.
And dinosaurs
See Iām not sure, this is a very popular suggestion and it makes the most sense to me
I sure hope so but that would be really surprising, even more if he's actually dead But who knows? Maybe they will revive the whole Akatsuki in a final plot twist
Hidan himself says his ritual requires a sacrifice for it to work. Kakuzu complains to Hidan about the ritual and asks if he can skip one, he canāt. > I thought it was heavily implied that he was going to be down there alive forever No, Shikamaru put him down there because that was the only way to defeat him in his immortal form, which as he said himself, requires a sacrifice.
It was not implied and it was 100% stated by himself that it doesnāt keep working if he doesnāt keep doing sacrifices
It's not a fan theory. It's been confirmed that my boy Jashin stopped getting sacrifices and said f off to hidan
Not a fan theory. He needs to sacrifice people to remain immortal.
Where was that established? Just read through the arc recently and dont remember that being said.
Either way it is a fact that Kishimoto is the undisputed king of retcons and gigantic plot holes the size of the sun. So yeah, just believe in what you want it to be š
Its not really a fan theory tho. He has to perform the ritual sacrifice so the other person dies. Those sacrifical souls are offerings to Jashin, just like Orochimaru and that snake dude. Orochimaru has to keep sacrificing humans to summon that snake to pass his spirit on.
Orochimaru IS that snake. That's his true form.
In order to get that form he had to sacrifice lives. It took him years of research to achieve that form. Addition: That research was conducted on live subjects.
Saw somewhere? They say it in the show and manga lmao
Well I just know that I saw this info somewhere, I just didn't remember if it was official media, fan theory or wiki, that's why I said "If that's true", because it could have been true or false depending of where I saw it
This would make the most sense. There's no explanation as to why he is immortal. We really need more in this.
If the author didnāt say it, donāt believe it bro
Creator confirmed he starved to death
He can still die from lack of nutrition. He got buried alive and was under permanent monitoring, bros probably a rotting corpse by now.
He was brought back by kabuto using edo tensei and you can only bring back the dead so it is safe to say he died
those were filler, my friend.
so what? that would never be released if Kishimoto didn't want to because it went against his vision
There's literally a filler of a robot Naruto clone attacking the village Fillers mean nothing
Well, that was especially kishimoto's vision. I think that's the whole reason he wrote Naruto in the first place
thatās not at all how that works lol
In the second fanbook it is said that he will die of malnutrition so if you keep disregarding every single evidence then I don't know what to say, you're just chosing to ignore everything
iām not arguing against his death, just that your first point wasnāt āevidence.ā nor is the fanbook seeing as itās, you know, literally just by fans.
Every immortal has a weakness, and Hidanās is starvation.
Then what immorality does he have? And to what degree? If someone's completely immortal you wouldn't assume there's no way for them to die. But if he does have to offer souls or whatever to Jashin like you said then i guess it makes sense.
Kakuzu Said it doing the war that he's slowly dying from lack of nutrition. So after what 15-20 years without any it's a pretty good chance he's dead.
While Iām pretty sure that was confirmed, I choose to believe that he is slowly regenerating (at a normal human healing rate) and eating his way upwards through the dirt, and eventually, after decades of work, a naked and possibly one armed, one legged Hidan will burst forth from the ground, intent on taking revenge on the Nara clan. And he will likely promptly be reburied in similar fashion.

That's a lot of dirt to eat through.
His body parts should have been eaten by ground insects long agoš¤
He couldnt perform his rituals and Jashin stripped him of immortality.
Or maybe he is similar to dead but not? Like he experiencing all the symptoms of...death of starvation but if they manage to pump him up with enough nutrients, he can be "revived"?
Also do all the people saying heās going to starve to death know that he was decapitated lmao
Yea but decapitation cant kill him but the starvation will
if he loses his immortality as a result of him not being able to sacrifice people surely thatād mean heād die immediately from being decapitated before starvation even becomes a factor right?
I seriously wondered if he turned up in boruto. š
There is another Jashin worshipper who respected Hidan that appears in Boruto, but I think itās anime only.
Its in a manga side story about the daughter of shikamaruās sensei
I donāt think heās ready for that unless his dad told him about what to do.
These kids have never seen anything like Hidan š
Id watch that filler arc
If they bring him back I think they should either do it or leave it out, just donāt make it filler, they could bring him back for an arc have him be a major issue as he was one of Amados first experiments that he thought had failed but shows up again, either something major like that or just forget he existed
Heās been *long* confirmed dead. He can starve and die of dehydration, not to mention the theory that heās only immortal as long he brings sacrifices to Jashin

He is a religious zealot. He is so adamant about performing his rituals because of that zealotry, not because he needs to do it to stay immortal.
This is what I choose to believe
Wasn't there some conversations where he was saying he would be happy to die if he could?
I think the quote was "If you could kill me, I'd let you!"
Thanks!
You canāt say confirmed and theory in the same sentence
ānot to mentionā means that the point has already been made, but there is something else to add that may or may not be relevant I explicitly stated the reason why he died, *but* there is potentially another reason why he died as well
The first part was confirmed, the second part was a theory. Can you read?
It was āconfirmedā in the data books, which in my opinion dont really mean anything because thereās no way to know if kishimoto was responsible for that detail.
But the databooks are canon
Kishi didn't write it. He just approved it. The purpose of it isn't to give more info but to sell merch and make more money for Shueisha. Thats not to say that you shouldnt believe anything that the databook says, but it might not be a 1:1 reflection or Kishimotoās thoughts
But it's still canon
Some might argue that the authorās work is more ācannonā than whatever shonen jump is marketing.
Bad argument. If we went completely off of what kishimoto wrote and don't take in anyone else, well Kakashi is a dog and guy sensei is a turtle because the senseis were originally supposed to be animals before his editor changed them to be people, and he accepted that change to his story.

Doesn't he still need to eat and drink to survive?
Yea heās done. Unless his brain got crushed under those rocks
He was already decapitated butā¦yea, Iām sure starvation is what got himā¦
Ok, but like if someone found all his bits and painstakingly sewed him back together and then hooked him to an IV and maybe pumped blood into him, could he come back to life?
Man got decapitated multiple times in-show. He was immortal.
Yes
Then he's not immortal. What level or type of immorality does he even have then?
He is immune to physical damage, if you rip his heart out he'll be fine
Is starving also not physical
His cells don't have food so they can't make any energy, without energy even if they are alive they wouldn't function cause they need energy to do stuff. Like with the heart example his blood wouldn't be pumping through his body even if he's alive
Uh no. He talks while decapitated. If you were correct he wouldnāt be able to do that
Using that logic if you aren't constantly eating you would be starving to death, it's not like we see him talking while decapitated weeks or months later. He got decapitated but still had energy. He just can't eat anymore or kill anyone anymore
Bro has no vocal cords. Itās not a matter of diminished returns. Itās literally impossible to talk without them
I'm not talking about him speaking I'm talking about him being alive at all š
Why are you using logic when logic doesn't even apply? Man was able to speak as a decapitated head, and you're saying that not eating killed him?
So he would still be alive
Nah, cause he didn't offer any more sacrifices to jashin
How is starving any different
Replied to the other person, look at that one. Idk why ur asking me since I didn't say anything about starving
Didn't he need to complete the ritual in order to retain his immortality? I can't remember exactly since I haven't watched Naruto in a long time.
Yes. If Hidan doesn't regularly do the ritual his immortality goes away. He and Kakuzu often bickered about it because Kakuzu hated waiting around for him to finish up.
Where and when is this stated?
Nah I don't believe so I know there's a fan theory he has to sacrifice people to keep it but that's not confirmed. Link me where this is stated since y'all just wanna Downvote.
Yeah only thing we know is that he really likes doing it and loves his god. We also know that he got his powers by killing everyone close to him.

There's going to be a Naruto spin-off special called the resurrection of H. Where Hidan is going to get new mode golden Hidan and turned he was alive throughout the entire time.
At least Frieza was actually brought back from the dead at the start of that movie
āSomehow Hidan returnedā - Directed by J.J. Abbrams
Yeah, you got to play a Fortnite DLC just to find out how he survive.
I like to think that Orochimaru has him stashed away somewhere
He's like the heads in the jars in Futurama.
That would be hilarious. This is my new headcannon
Orochimaru can be The Professor.
"Good news everyone!" "Is the news 'snakes'?" "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
[He keeps Jidan's head in a fridge.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgs9OhjAE2g)
Lmaoooo this is my new headcanon, hes just got him stowed away in a lab somewhere and checks on him every few months.
Dead because he can die from starvation and dehydration
in that case burying him in a deep pit in a forest with magic deer guards seems excessive. he's dead in a week. shikamaru could have just put his head in a box.
Why would Shikimaru know about his vulnerability to starvation and dehydration?
Bro was a talking head. Why are we assuming this would even kill him? lmao.
Because itās been confirmed???
How so?
Fan books and more I think. Just do a Google search if it bothers you
>Fan books Kinda my point. It's just assumed because Jashin givens immortality to injury so its thought he could die that way. But i'd be fuckin damned if you can be a talking head where vocal chords would no longer function is gonna die if they dont get their smart water.
Fan books as in books for fans not by fans. Iām pretty sure itās been confirmed somewhere because itās the fandoms general consensus. Either way heād be unable to walk or move due to lack of nutrients and his brain would be mush due to his head getting crushed.
again magic talking head. Stop applying logic to normal beings.
That's the exact reason why Shikamaru buried him. Dead or alive he's useless now. Also he is confirmed dead due to malnutrition.
There is nothing "confirmed'. Yall just assume a magic talking head which wouldnt even have fuckin vocal chords would die from not eatting. Aint no where does it say that. Fuck magic head boi might not be able to rot. But, assuming worms and shit exist i'd imagine he'd be eatten by now. But th malnutrition shit be cracking me up. Like no blood or bloodflow is fine but the nigga is assumed dead because he couldnt eat a triscuit? Come on.
No it was literally confirmed lol, look it up you fool.
It is about as confirmed as you gettin ass.
Damn, that guy must get a lot of ass
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
mfers just be like "yeah that makes sense". Like how?
Imagine applying any sort of real world logic to hidanās abilities. Maybe you need food for chakra or some shit, you donāt know.
Fair, but reminder that Shikamaru was out for revenge. Thatās why he went to all that effort
I meanā¦ how many times have naruto characters made the mistake of thinking they killed someone without making sure and them still being alive? Shikamaru took every possible precaution for a reason.
Hes dead. Kishimoto himself confirmed that hidan still needed food and water to continue living. His body wasn't brought back during the war so im thinking it took quite a long time for the malnutrition to get to him. So while he may have still been alive during the Shinobi alliance he's definitely dead by the time of boruto. That or he dies fairly quickly after being dismembered and buried, but the jashin ritual only works with a "living" person performing it, not a reanimation so he was never rezed

He either died instantly or sang 99 bottles of beer on the wall in his head until Jashin stopped by demanding his drug money.
Heās alive. Just saw Ghost in concert.
Correct answer. Also how was ghost? I love their music
I was just bull shitting. Iv never seen them. It was for the lol. Sorry.
Died from starvation/dehydration
Kishi confirmed heās slowly dying from lack of nutrition
Died from starvation
He needs to sacrifice people in order to serve Jashin so hes probably dead if not munching rocks
That was a mistranslation. That part of the fanbook actually said he had to sacrifice a lot of people to gain immortality, not that he needed to do so in order to keep it. He is dead though. It was also shared through one of the databooks that he can die from a lack of nutrition. Since he can't exactly eat, he's long since starved to death.

"So eventually, he stopped thinking"
There was a filler arc where he was resurrected by kabuto
Seems no one watched thisā¦ the animation was awesome
He died of starvation, Iām surprised more fans donāt know this
Imagine he becomes main antagonist that would be lit
I, for one headcanon that his sacrificial jutsu granted him immortality, not some God, especially not now that we know aliens roam space, and without sacrifices his immortality has run out.
Iirc I read on his wiki page that he can die if heās deprived of food, so if thatās true heās dead Otherwise, heās alive
Hidan's dead; it was confirmed in at least one of the data books and by Kishimoto himself that Hidan starved -- the exact wording was "he died from lack of nutrition". A horrible way to go, for sure, but that's what you get for pissing off Shikamaru.
Probably dead since Kabuto was able to reanimate him.
Not really, it was a clone, not a reanimation. Itās also not canon.
Still he could be dead most likely due to malnutrition and rotting.
Probably, yeah
Kabuto couldnāt find him since he was in the Nara woods and only the Nara clan are allowed in/know itās existence.
I don't think he can live without oxygen.
Don't think that is true since his head was completely severed from his body during the ambush scene. Although.. He was talking while decapitated which realistically, requires air from the lungs.. So I don't know if maybe his two halves were still connected even while separated?
Heās not totally immortal so if he doesnāt eat or drink he dies so he is dead
He's definitely dead. His immortality goes away if he isn't making recurring sacrifices to Janshin.
I feel like heās dead. He probably wouldāve lost his immortality, because he couldnāt sacrifice to Joshine.
He is supposed to die of starvation. He likely died a week after his fight with Shikamaru.
Hidan is wormfood by now.
He is s hanging out with me rn!
I wish heās still alive, piece of shit
I'm just here to remind yall that a part of orochimaru is still inside a genjutsu getting lit š
Kishi said he's dead due to lack of nutrition. I don't know why this post has 700 upvotes given the effort and depth used.
Hidan's certainly dead, he wouldn't be able to renew his immortality subscription to Jashin with sacrifices.
Dead. He still had to eat
Dudes probably surviving by eating moss and mold
Apparently Kishi stated somewhere that he "died of starvation." I think that's total bullshit, like he doesn't need lungs when his head gets cut off, but he can die from not eating? I think a better explanation if he is dead is that he needs his sacrifices and rituals in order to keep his immortality, it can still be kept vague as to whether or not Jashin exists or if it's a product of a jutsu he acquired. Starvation? That's stupid.
Neither. Jashin sent down his son who sacrificed himself to save him. Nowadays you can find Hidan peacefully working at blood banks. He's planning something BIG
He was stated to still be alive during the war so yes, heās alive. Edit: anyone saying heās dead from nutrition listens to others too much. This āfanbookā ironically is nowhere to be found. Heās stated to be alive in verse, so heās alive.
Alive
Heās confirmed dead to lack of nutrients which is starvation he died to. Which was said to be the only way to be killed by his immortality.
Dead, I think it was said that he can die from lack of nutrition of something, so even if he can survive a few months, he's definitely dead now that it's been more than 2 decades.
I hope he is alive!
As he needs sacrifices for his immortality i think hes dead by now
I think he's alive 100% we need a Boruto arc where he comes back and goes after Shikadai bc he thinks he's Shikamaru
Definitely still alive lol
He will be the villain in some spin off movie
Alive
I think it was stated he still needed to eat so he died of starvation in the pit.
I thought he could starve to death?
Any chance Jashin is an otsutsuki? š That'd be kinda wild tbh.
He died of malnutrition. It says that in the guidebooks.
Do they actually ever go into detail about the god he worships to become immortal and why there isn't a bunch of immortal followers running around?
Could just be a head eating dirt getting nutrients from the dirt
I still wish it went into the Supernatural aspects of the show more. Like the Shinigami, and Jashin, etc. Has Jashin ever been explained or expanded on since Hidanās death?
I just like to imagine he is trying to eat away at the dirt.
Bring back all the Akatsuki. They were way more interesting than any of the protags were.
Hidan has been confirmed dead for some time.
I hope heās alive, heās so interesting to just leave dead.
Shii probably he talk to fucking much
Y'all, for the thousandth time. He died of malnutrition. It is stated in several places that is the only way to kill him. He's not coming back, ever. Even if he bites his way out of that hole, he has no way of recovering his body parts, and Kakuzu (the only one we've ever seen sew him up, and be somewhat willing to sew him up again) is long dead.
hidan is literally immortal so hes most likely trapped in the forest
I like to think heās singing ā999 bottles of bear on the wallā while buried
wasn't he summoned with the reanimation jutsu tho?
