Naruto/Characters/Akatsuki: Difference between revisions

 

They mostly appear in ''Shippuden''—only Itachi, Kisame, and Zetsu appeared in the [[Naruto|original series]], and in Zetsu's case it was merely a cameo. They become more active in the second series as their plan to capture and seal the Tailed Beasts begins to move forward in earnest.

 

== In General ==

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Their standard uniform.

** [[Black Cloak]]: With Red Clouds.

----

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: Always polite, offers his opponents the chance to escape (unless they are his target) and never uses more power than to disable, without lasting harm if possible. He is also an unrepentant mass murderer with history of mentally torturing several protagonists of the series, especially his little brother (who was 7 years old the first time, 13 the second).

** {{spoiler|Subverted in that he's not actually evil and is completely torn up by guilt. It is revealed (albeit by an [[Unreliable Narrator]]) that the reason he went back to Konoha was to check on Sasuke to make sure he was alright after Sarutobi's death. It just turned out that he ''had'' to actually harm Sasuke in the process, though mind-raping him wasn't really necessary}}.

* [[Always Someone Better]]: To Sasuke.

* [[And I Must Scream]]: Tsukuyomi is essentially [[And I Must Scream]] no Jutsu.

* [[Not Now, Kiddo]] He does this to Sasuke after his reunion.

* [[Hurt a child]]: he tortures Sasuke twice and kills the rest of the uchiha children, accepting Danzo's word, that these children could be a problem in the future and that they should die.

 

== Kisame Hoshigaki ==

** [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]

* [[Energy Absorption]]: His sword lets him absorb the chakra of anyone it touches, or of any technique that launch into the air.

* [[Exact Words]]: He was ordered to protect an Intel squad carrying important codes, and above all to prevent those codes from falling into enemy hands. {{spoiler|At the first sign of trouble, he massacres the squad, so they can't tell anyone the codes they are protecting. His attitude at the time suggests he was actually ''hoping'' they would be attacked just so he could do this, which would mean he did it [[For the Evulz]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Faking the Dead]]:}} After {{spoiler|his original seeming death by decapitation}}, it was revealed several months later that {{spoiler|what actually died was a clone created by Zetsu}}.

 

== Zetsu ==

{{quote|"''[[I'm a Humanitarian|Seems palatable...]]''"}}

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Nobuo Tobita]] (JP), Michael Sorich and [[Brian Beacock]] (EN, original), [[Travis Willingham]] (EN, current)}}

 

* [[Plant Person]]

* [[Split Personality]]: Has black and white halves.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: In one body. Sorta.

 

== Deidara ==

* [[Determinator]]: {{spoiler|Even if he isn't Madara, you can't deny that he is extremely patient. He seems very old and to have been in the game for a very long time}}.

* [[Diabolical Mastermind]]: A nice contrast to [[Evil Overlord|Orochimaru]].

* [[Discard and Draw]]: {{spoiler|Sacrificed one Sharingan eye and replaced it with a much more powerful Rinnegan-eye.}}

* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Has been shown to have at least "Earth" for his chakra nature.

* {{spoiler|[[World's Strongest Man]]: Even beating out Pain for the title, though the real Madara's about to give both a run for their money}}.

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]] /[[Gambit Roulette]]: While at first sight it would look like he planned everything that has happened in the series, he is in fact very accomplished in cutting his losses and creating new [[plan]]s out of his ass as the situation demands. Hell, around 5% of the things happening now were in his plans and he is still at the top of the game.

 

== Hidan ==

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: [[Word of God]] states that his head will ''rot'' before his immortality runs out.

* [[For the Evulz]]: His religion seems to be built around a sadistic god who encourages his followers to also murder [[For the Evulz]].

* [[Giggling Villain]]

* [[The Grim Reaper]]: What his ritual does as a type of [[One-Winged Angel]].

* [[Licking the Blade]]: It's necessary for his ritual.

* [[Major Injury Underreaction]]: Whenever he is injured, though he ''does'' feel the pain. Justified, as he's immortal.

* [[Obligatory Swearing]]: In many fanlations, less so in Viz translations, to convey his very rude way of talking.

** [[Precision F-Strike]]: The above-mentioned [[Obligatory Swearing]] becomes this in the English dub.

* [[Psycho for Hire]]

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Has a tendency to act like a teenager enjoying an adrenaline rush, complete with much smack talk and "woo-hoo"ing.

* [[Religion of Evil]]: Follows the religion of Jashin, which literally means "[[God of Evil|evil god]]", and requires killing his opponents.

* [[Religious Bruiser]]: Subverted. See [[Religion of Evil]] above.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With Kakuzu.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

 

== Kakuzu ==

[[File:NagatoArt_3354.png|frame]]

{{quote|Deva Path: [[Kenyuu Horiuchi]] (JP, Pain), [[Dave Wittenberg]] (EN, original), [[Troy Baker]] (EN, current)

{{spoiler|Nagato: Junpei Morita (JP), [[Vic Mignogna]] (EN)}} }}

** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Edo Tensei gave him his wish- he got to fight Naruto again after Naruto had mastered the Nine Tails' Chakra. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|And it was epic.]]

* {{spoiler|[[Cast From Lifespan]]}}: {{spoiler|The Rinnegan's more powerful techniques}}.

* [[Combo-Platter Powers]]: The Rinnegan's powers are basically a mish-mash of various powers that are all [[Game Breaker]]s in their own right.

** [[Aura Vision]]: He can see chakra in a manner similar to the Byakugan.

** {{spoiler|[[Necromancer]]}}: {{spoiler|The only real one in the series. He brought the entire population of Konoha back to life after he killed them}}.

** [[Power Nullifier]]: Preta Path's other power.

** [[Summon Magic]]: The Animal Path's power is summoning [[Bond Creatures]] and the other Paths. [[And Zoidberg|And Konan]].

** [[Truth Serum]]: Naraka Path.

* {{spoiler|[[Freak-Out]]}}: {{spoiler|Nagato after Yahiko's death}}

* [[Glass Cannon]]: For all the Rinnegan's powers, Pain is just as vulnerable as a normal human. Good luck actually hitting him though.

* {{spoiler|[[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Nagato}}

* {{spoiler|[[Hero-Killer]]}}: {{spoiler|Killed Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Shizune, and nearly killed Hinata and Choza. Then he brought them all back to life, except for Jiraiya}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Start of Darkness]]}}: {{spoiler|See [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]}}.

* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: There's a reason fans accuse him of being a [[God Mode Sue]]: His Rinnegan gives him ridiculous amounts of chakra that rivals the Nine-Tails, a virtually unlimited number of summons, and the ability to use all five elements (in addition to another two), {{spoiler|level entire cities, create miniature moons, read minds, rip souls from peoples' bodies, and ''revive the dead''}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Too Powerful to Live]]}}

* [[Ubermensch]]

* [[The Unfought]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. He's revived by Kabuto using Edo Tensei, allowing him to have a proper battle against Naruto.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Minus the walking part.}}

 

== Konan ==

* [[Power Trio]]: With Konan and Nagato.
