How Every Akatsuki Member Died Ranked 

What's the best Akatsuki death?

Kisame is my favorite Naruto character, and i'm very satisfied with how his story ended. He got to survive the Bee fight and faked us all out into thinking he was dead, and was able to go out on his own terms after one final amazing fight with Guy. "Maybe i'm not so bad after all" Kisame was done justice in my opinion, glad he got to survive for so long as well.

Kisame went out as a real homie. He's not a snitch and a biiiitch

Deidara ultimately killed himself for nothing, but I honestly can’t think of a better way for him to go out. He believed that art was what lasted in the moment and in death he became his ideal masterpiece

Imo there's also something that makes Sasori's death more impactful: Being the first Akatsuki member to fall. That has a lot of impact. The Akatsuki members were stated to be extremely dangerous, so much that Deidara was even able to 1v1 a Jinchuuriki. Sure, Gaara was holding back, but it's still impressive nonetheless, even holding back, Gaara is very powerful. Sasori dying marks the start of Akatsuki's fall, and it's one hell of a start

I never quite realized how tragic Sasori was as a character when I was a kid, but something about the way he was written always struck a chord and resonated with me even though I could never fully verbalize or figure out why. Now, I think I understand. Something tells me his death was staged. What do I mean by that? I mean, it wasn’t as simple as “he suddenly felt sad then gave up on life and let himself die because he wanted a hug.” No, I think his plan from the very beginning was always to die. The way he spoke sounded almost apathetic towards life, nihilistic even. I think it’s very possible he had suicidal ideation. What are puppeteers known for? Well, obviously putting together puppet shows and grand performances through ventriloquism. In reality, I think he wanted to act out his own death. He planned his death from the very beginning because he was both a literal and metaphorical shell of his past self and he’d never feel emotionally whole ever again since the death of his parents. He described himself as “a puppet with a heart,” basically saying he was forever empty inside and that the void created by the pain and loss of his mother and father could never be filled. The reason he admired puppetry so much is because he envied it. He envied his puppets so much that he mutilated himself and everyone he bested to become one. Puppets have no need for bone or flesh, they are essentially immortalized beings. He hated the human body because it was through the human condition that his parents were lost. Humans are frail and grow old and die. Puppets, on the other hand, last forever. 14:30 *TRUE ART* lasts forever. The poor guy just wishes his parents were with him and grew an obsession with puppets so that no one would ever leave him again, because he hadn’t yet made peace with death and wanted to feel closeness to those he would otherwise eventually have to leave behind. Sasori fought Sakura and Granny Chiyo with all he had because he wanted to make his death spectacular and do so on his own terms to a semi-respectable opponent worthy of witnessing his final act, his most grand puppet show performance to date. It probably wasn’t a part of his plan to be taken out by the very puppets he created of his parents, but as dark as it sounds, I believe he was rather content with it. An unexpected but welcomed surprise, if you will. He accepted his fate because, at the very least, he could finally rest at his parents’s side under their deathly embrace. In the final moments of his closing act, it’s plausible to say that maybe…JUST maybe…he had finally felt warmth again as he took his dying breath. A warmth he hadn’t felt in a long time since the days before his mother and father passed on. Maybe now, he could finally rest. Maybe now, the wooden boy with a human heart could finally be whole again.

konan was completely made of paper. that last one going there was the last bit of her chakra returning to rest at the closest thing she could call her childhood home. finally putting them all to rest together.

Chiyo is gangsta for bringing the mother and father puppet to fuck sasori up psychologically.

You forgot to mention that Konan died under the clearing skies of the Hidden Rain where it finally let up naturally for the first time in a very long time. With the rainbow under her as “the bridge to peace” she died believing there is still glimpse of hope(naruto) when their whole life, its just full of despair and rain.

Konan shouldn’t have died. And she should have had more screen time. Her abilities could have been more interesting than most of the akatsuki but we’re never explored. Also she did nothing wrong.

Kisame easily has the best death. He wasnt no snitch. respect the shark homie.

I loved Kisame's death because of his flashback if meeting Itachi & talking about how you don't truly know yourself until you're at your end. Then he questions if Itachi ever found himself at the end as the sharks eat him.

12:00 there is a recurring phenomenon in naruto that when a powerful ninja dies it has some kind of effect that is essentially an expression of their chakra and will. When Haku dies it snows. When Hiruzen dies it rains for days. Its not a leap to assume it's some kind of law in the world and not just poetic conicidence

An Akatsuki list where Hidan isn't on the bottom! I never imagined it was possible.

When you realize 90% of the Akatsuki members killed themselves

I've said this before, but I really wish that they could've kept talking before Nagato died. You know, Pain's speech I mean, I wish they could've continued that. This speech is so awesome, but the context it's delivered in is sort of unfortunate. Pain here isn't even talking just as a villain. He's more like a philosopher almost, a warrior who's walked a different path. The goal of his speech, the progression of it, is him simply asking Naruto "What would you do about x? What makes this thing bad? Why is this thing okay but this thing isn't okay? What gives?" He's asking Naruto very basic and fundamental questions about the broader world around him. And Naruto, the main character, simply has no answer. Being a Kage has been his dream for YEARS, as long as he can remember, yet he'd never stopped to ask himself why he wanted it, or even what responsibility that would entail. Never not once had he thought of the political world he'd be in, or about the weight he would be bearing. It's almost like it was the first time he'd ever even heard of The Hidden Rain, like he didn't know at all until Pain mentioned it, and he was completely and wholly ignorant of basic elements of shinobi history. It would've been so powerful if Naruto had an answer, even a grasping at straws answer, but he just doesn't! And it's a shame because Naruto in Part 1 questioned lots of elements about the legitimacy of the shinobi system (damn wasn't his speech to Zabuza awesome?). But the moment he's facing another ninja who has questions of his own, facing another grown man who's got convictions and dreams of his own, he almost can't even muster an answer, any answer. I wish it was really more of a dialog, not just Pain having what is almost a one sided discussion. I wish Naruto had actually tried to think of a solution aside from "believe in Jiraiya Sensei", I wish he could've had that discussion with Nagato.

Konan had so much unexplored potential... not only she had a gorgeous and alluring design, but her powers were so unusual in the good way. Gives the impression of a dark enchantress, that holds a long kept secret. So delicate-looking, yet so powerful. It would've been truly amazing if she was real and a friend of mine 💙💜🌸

Deidara belongs in heaven

Sasuke’s art isn’t the Sharingan, it’s plot.

Just imagine how awkward it would be if Sasuke did die to C0. I wonder if Itachi would approach Naruto and be like, "you gotta step up and fill in for our 'brother' now. Run them hands, 'little bro'".

Gods I hate so much that Sasuke survived Deidara's death barely taking any damage at all ! Kishimoto gave Sasuke too much plot armor.

Deidara is my favorite character he is so unique not just in Naruto but also in anime as a whole i have watched tone of anime and have never seen someone that is like him. He is also underrated by a lot imagine if he didn't kill himself just how much more powerful would he become. Also imagine he was a jinchuriki he could use the tailed beast power to make the explosions even more powerful. I feel they could have done so much more to him.

I always thought Konan's paper was guided by the last of her chakra or some other contrivance.

I would argue Deidara proved his point especially because of people’s reaction to the explosion.

Kizame is the Akatsuki Chad🦈 and Deidara the absolute artist 🎨💥

Sasori is a very underrated character. I wish he had more screen time, he was such a cool character with so much potential. Imagine dying to sakura 💀

I would have loved to see Konan blowing up a ton of Zetsu. But her death scene had me weeping. She finally got home.

My list: 1. I agree with putting Deidara at 1, I think his death was completely fitting for his character. 2. I’d rank Obito’s death at 2 because I felt like his last words to Naruto were kinda sad, like he was looking at a past version of himself. 3. Itachi, he was a legend. 4. Nagato. I think him turning good before he died and then using his life to bring back everyone was perfect. Even though everyone was brought back, the village itself was still destroyed so it’s not like nothing happened. 5. Konan’s death was sad because of that red paper scene, and the flashbacks helped. 6. Kisame 7. Sasori ranks lower for me because we barely got to see anything from him and it just didn’t feel that impactful 8. Hidan 9. Kakuzu 10. Zetsu(s)

Not a huge fan of Obito but his backstory and his death was real tragic . Bro was just Naruto without plot armour . Also , he is the reason why Kakashi is still alive .

Man your videos have helped me appreciate Naruto more and in a way that I never before did. the Akatsuki are such memorable villains and I never realized how deep and poetic some of their deaths were.

I never even realized that was the original white Zetsu that Sasuke killed.

I have a theory why Naruto didn't finish kakuzu. I think that kishimoto tries so hard to keep Naruto's hands clean to convey his message about peace by letting others do the dirty work for him and the same goes for a lot of shonen protagonists.

Wait a minute.. A lot of characters in Naruto have killed countless people, so why would Hidan exclusively deserve to live as a head in a hole alone forever? Not defending the guy, but thats pretty much the worst punishment I can imagine.

Solid video. Thumbs up. I enjoy the logic after watching so many of these.❤

the worst crime of Kishimoto was killing Konan, but he did it beautifully

I liked both of Nagato's and Konan's death, just cool endings.

deidara is my favorite akatsuki. his death was a blast!

My favourite will always be Sasori and Konan death scenes. They are dripping in sorrow, poetical references and both are visually beautiful. Thats exactly what I love Naruto for, the ability to squeeze tears out of me. Both stories are perfectly explained and really grab you by the heart.

Obito's death made me feel the most, probably because I'd grown to really like the character (I promise you i too was sick of seeing those flashbacks). Still I mean when he tells Naruto "You better become Hokage" it gets to me man. I love it. I'm the rare species that is called an Itachi hater or at least partially. I despised the retcon where he became a good guy so it ruined his death for me. I absolutely love Edo Itachi's death though. It was bloody brilliant. Infact if i had to rank them I'd go: 1. Obito's death (Best) 2. Edo Itachi 3. Kisame 4. Hidan 5. Nagato (I am in the camp the rinnerebirth is an asspull, especially since when I first watched that scene I thought the reason he could do it was because all those souls that one path had extracted and tossed into the mouth of that death god were stored in the death god's "stomach" and all Nagato was doing was releasing them before they got "digested" and that it was in exchange for his life like Granny Chiyo. The fact it's a normal resurrection that can happen on anyone even someone who died years ago with no consequence is hot garbage imo) 6. Konan [her death standing on it's own would be number 4 but i was just so underwhelmed by how Kishimoto was treating all the girls. (By this arc i had noticed the pattern) I was so irritated she died, I agree this was the perfect death for her but she definitely should've done more before she died like in your rewrite and why she never came back in the war arc is beyond me] 7. Deidara 8. Itachi's real death 9. Sasori (Sakura's best fight then after she and Granny Chiyo beat him fair and square they later say "he let himself get killed" ugh i hate it even more than the Itachi version. If that line did not exist this death would be number 3 but that one line ruins it for me. I hate that trope so much) 10. Kakuzu (Ngl when Naruto told everyone to just sit down and let him handle it i started to dislike the character. It kinda cheapened the other characters and i felt he was just making it all about him. Again i much prefer your rewrite version of the fight) 11. Zetsu (i hated black zetsu but for a different reason. Once Kaguya showed up i wasn't mad about it because i wanted to see her do something cool with the Byakugan but she felt like all she did was listen to Black Zetsu. The whole time during the fight i kept wishing Black Zetsu would stfu and Kaguya would think for herself. Infact the only time i even liked Black zetsu was in filler when he tempts Indra)

Kisame is probably one of my favorites, mans never snitched.

*Deidaraaaaaa* ...⭐ Kakazu got robbed 🙆🏿‍♂️ Nagato n Obito got Talked-No-Jutsu out 😝👺 And Kisame is Dawg 🐕

Great video

Man i was kinda pissed that sasegay got away from deidara pretty much for free, just had to rest after the fight, and he got rid of that snake too so it helped him out... like cmon deidaras sacrifice deserves better than that >->

great video

I’d always thought Kakazu’s death was sure to be on the number 10 spot and I still stand by that 😂 only thing good that came out of it was the reveal of a new jutsu.

This man earned a sub by putting my favourite chracter on the top

Hey I really like your video ideas

The only high rank hidan will ever get in one of these lists... i'm assuming

19:30 my head canon is that hidan was immortal because of a kekkei genkai that turns murder into life (jashin isn't real, hidan and his cult are just crazy). I like that he suffers but I do think he needs to die. Maybe, after a few years or so.

Deidara was my favorite member at that point when he died. His character was just so funny and unhinged, especially in the English dubbed version.

I had cried when Itachi died without knowing the rest. Because I just knew he was a good person. It was obvious to me it would end up in some way like it did. Especially when I saw that forehead tap

5:20 “He just finishes the guy off” Ayyyyyyyyooooooooo

Hidan definitely had the most humiliating death😅

Say what you want; Konan and Sasori’a death fight scenes and last moments are the best… 1a and 1b.

@DygoKnight Will there ever be the possibility in the future for kishimoto to finally fix the ending of Kakuzu fight the way he originally planned maybe for a Perfect edition or something?

Remember when Tobi asked Deidara need a hand? After he lost his arms. 🤣🤣🤣 Tobi was a menace. 😂

Kisame was loyal till the end

Bro, you got that wrong: konan is the best/saddest BY FAR! The tiles were supposed to turn red when they were home! She turned her tile red when dying (I think she controlled that paper while dying), meaning that now... they're all home, they're all safe, they're all together again, their battle is over and they can finally rest. (Also I like to think she turned jiraya's tile when he died few week prior, hence why while dying the first thing she was thinking about was to turn her tile red) Man I get teary eyes just thinking about it 😭

I still can't believe they made My man diedara just blowup. It's stupid.

after seeing a meme of deidara's death where someone photoshop patrick over the explosion, I can never look at it with a straight face again

imagine if for nagato's death he and jiraiya walked into the afterlife laughing and catching up with each other and nagato says: "sensei you were right."

I've watched your most of your previous video and I think you really hate kakuzu that much😂, and also you're deidara fan but don't worry I'm deidara fan too😌

yea as an older brother seeing itachi smile at sauske in his final moments makes me tear up everytime

Guy: Im never going to forget this man. Mesaki Mushohaki Lee: Wait who? Guy: Who what? Oh time for lunch!

21:45 that's plot armor for ya summoning Aaron while trembling from exhaustion not having a ounce of chackra left to a point where your sharingans are deactivated yet sasuke manage to cast kuchiyose witch requires large amount of chakra even if you ignore the first plot armor the second one is how in the hell did Aaron manage to keep sasuke alive sure he died afterwards but we are talking about c0 here a literal nuke the power of the blast should've just molecularly disintegrate the snake point being the only reason sasuke survived is bc he is the 2nd main character

daderia died to plot ammor

damn these are emotional

It's so cool how all the Akatsuki die. Like it's meant to be their destiny from the life they chose to die in such violent, tragic ways.

Wait i just realized that a part of orochimaru is still lit in a genjutsu 😅

Kisame went out like a real ninja

To be fair. Kakuzu tanking and surviving a rasenshuriken directly without earth spear and only 3 of his hearts left is a pretty big feat in of itself. Kakashi having to put him down just goes to show how durable Kakuzu was. I doubt any other Akatsuki member would have survived a direct at max hit. Nevermind remain conscious when ready weakened. I've always been of the opinion that if Kakuzu had his earth heart still. He would have simply tanked it with surface level damage. Of course a sage mode enhanced rasenshuriken should obliterate him.

Itachi definitely had the best death as his entire fight was built up since the beginning and then that's only the beginning of his story itself Kisame nagato and diedara I'd place right after for unaliving themselves keeping to their own way of being ninja rather than be caught. Sasori was a good start to show that these powerful enemies can be killed and aren't invincible anymore but how hard it is to do it due to it being completely luck based. Konan was impactful but I wish she did more in story to really make that death feel like it hit harder. Hidan like himself was just a plot device for shikamaru and he could have done more or hurt more villagers. Kakuzu was a hype engine for Naruto and it could have been truly earned if kishi wasn't rushed.

This video made me cry

Hard disagree on Deidara - literally 1 of the stupidest deaths of the series! Sasuke didn't want to fight Deidara and even though Dei knew that Sasuke was "stronger" he was still pushing him. The way Sasuke survives the explosion is really not good. Dei was underutilized, he could solo most Naruto characters and even maybe harm Hashirama

sasori story may be the saddest in all of Naruto

The back story of Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, their ideals, their deaths are some of the saddest elements in Naruto. Though fictional, they remind me of the horrors of war and what they could do to the next generations to come.

The stronger they are, the more impressive their death is!

do you have a new editr or something the visuals of the video is different

I love how Itachi was in this type of "You either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become a hero" situation ... Kishimoto really flipped that shit lol

Just wait till they retcon black zetsu dying and he comes back in boruto, only to be fed to the 10 tails

If nagato didnt revive everyone the next great ninja was wouldve started and ended with the destruction of the leaf village and other village's taking there land

Deidara revived should've been more used, since he could just do that again, regenerate, do again, regenerate, it could've been so cool. But well, it would've ruined his death, so I'm glad they didn't make him do that

Man, Sasori's backstory is so relatable to me. Living a life without parents since young age, feeling empty and sometimes suicidal because of it. I could understand his idea and motives, that's why his death always feels like a frickin Jumbo Jet hitting me at a supersonic speed. It's not just saddening, but i also feel happy because at the very least he was free from his hell that he has been going through since his childhood

Just gotta get this out tthere, is the Sharingan really Sasuke's art tehcnically? It's more of the Uchiha clan's art that handed down to them through an alien bloodline. Deidara had to seek and obtain forbidden jutsu to create his art, while Sasuke's is clearly strictly genetic in every way. Art is something you create and own yourself while the Sharingan at the time Naruto part 1 begins there are only 5 people who have the Sharingan (yes I'm including Kakashi), but that's not art is the literally sense. I think Deidara's art is greater than Sasuke's in the literal sense, it's just that Sasuke's "art" is powerful is an power scaling sense.

Dygo : l was fed up after hearing Obito's backstory . Tbh , l was too like hearing Naruto's backstory every fight . But , he was just Naruto without plot armour .

11:49 i didnt see it as chance. her power is to control paper so it could also be seen as the last of her conscience flying home on purpose

21:03 life is... A BANG! I love the deidara/sasori dynamic. I like that they dislike each other.

Naruto saying "Obito was the coolest guy" just goes to shoe how good of a person or character he is despite all that he has done he still speaks goof on his name after death

My edit : sasori's death below konan's and kisame's death below itach's.

Hidan had the best death by far. It was one of the most iconic naruto moments of all time

me:what is art deidara: art is a blast

Why would ghost rin be affected by gravity? That doesn't make any sense

So I have noticed you and NC Hammer 23 upload videos at the exact same time every video. Is there a reason for that?

Let me correct. Deidara's art didn't lose to Sasuke's art which are his eye, Deidara's art died to Sasuke's plot armor art.

You should really make a video about Susanoo Uzumaki's death... That was the saddest death in all of Naruto, and a lot of people dont even know about it.. How come both Sasuke Sarutobi, and Hikaku Uchicha already have a video but Susanoo Uzumaki doesnt..

OMG he explained in the Video that Sasori chose to die and those Npcs in the comments dont check it

Where are the naruto rewrites!!? Please release more, it’s my favourite series on RU-vid.

Gangster topic :^)

If guy remembers you over madara you know your a Chad

I actually forgot how sasori died, thanks for reminding me!
