You know what I think Zetsu's abilities are?
He has a sword named Zangetsu and he can transform into something that gives him super speed and strength.

Oh so you picked up on that, not bad. Not bad at all.
Oh just as a disclaimer, I'm not saying you're right or that you're wrong. I just like your idea.

I thought it was pretty obvious he is from the hidden village of technology from what we saw of him talking.
... right?
Oh ya, and if we are talking about one of the members not having a partner I figure it would be the leader.
Aren't Akatsuki all missing-nins? So why would you think he is in his own village?Originally Posted by Jessper
-Oh and from the way Zetsu travels I don't think it would be possible for him to have a partner. And in the pic ASSpirine posted that is on the previous page, they all seem to be partnered up, so it seems like the leader and his partner are the two Akatsuki yet to be revealed.

He seems to be the delivery boy or something like a messenger in Akatsuki
Isn't Tobi's partner Dei....dara now? (can't spell that name)...unless Zetsu gets partnered with Tobi. Tobi seems to have been following him around before his admittance into the organization.
The guy doesn't have arms anymore. Surely he already got kicked out of the group (despite being in that pic). I mean, he's dead weight since it's only so much you can do without arms, especially if you aren't Orochimaru.Originally Posted by KrayZ33
Nope, at 16:00 we get a close up of him. I'm curious what good he is to them at this point aside from being fuel for Bijuu extraction though. It seemed like his ability was fairly dependent on having hands.Originally Posted by Kraco

I could only remember the scene when Tobi and Deidara had a "fight", I thought they had an argument while searching for a kyuubi or something like that, thats what made me think they were a team.
but this shows that he seems to be more around Zetsu.. hmm
I just rewatched the last episode and well, at least it's certain that he is a member now, since he is wearing the akatsuki cloak :P

He may well be by himself as his role tends to differ from straight combat, but I don't buy the idea that his split personality justifies being "his own partner". From what I see, Akatsuki works in teams of 2 for either performance or safety reasons. Having two personalities doesn't really accomplish both, unless you're a super soldier from the HRLOriginally Posted by Marik

What's the HRL?
Another thing I'm thinking about this guy is he could have been a hokage or some type of leader of one of these villages, but all the other hokages feared his power and conspired against him and possibly destroying his village.

I was joking about the village of technology bit, I found the setting odd in comparison to the rest of the Naruto world is all.
I guess that makes sense with the picture, perhaps he is mostly recon.
Jinchuuriki are overrated anyway. Just consider the current situation: The Akatsuki has captured several bijuu from jinchuuriki with years of experience. Much good did it do to them. The bijuu free of human hosts are likely far more dangerous and powerful. If the plan is to create a mercenary army with international significance, they need to reduce the power of the big nations. That will be easily handled by just releasing those demon monsters in the middle of those countries. There's no particular reason to be able to control them. They will likely destroy everything around them, weakening the bigger nations and creating opportunities for the surrounding smaller ones to wage war.
Edit: Actually, since the Akatsuki has mastered the art of sucking bijuu inside that statue, they could even use the old trick of first creating a problem and then offering a solution to it.
If they can actually put them back in the statue after releasing them, then yes, they could be the cause, then pretend to be the solution to, the problem.
If that's the case though, that really makes their plan seem lame. Unlimited sources of chakra and they just use them like cruise missiles.
I just assume that being in Akatsuki, and not caring about any of the social implications of being jinchuuriki, that most of them were there for the purpose of attaining an unlimited chakra supply for themselves.
If the members were getting bijuu as compensation for joining Akatsuki I doubt that little scene we saw there would have ever happened.
It really does make me wonder what they offered Hidan for him to join. He thinks his cause is righteous and that they were all in it for the money so why did he join them.

Exactly. Deidara replaced Orochimaru when Oro left and now Sasori died so the the new guy would obviously replace him. He is wearing his ring after all

If the ring is the criteria then you contradicted yourself here, cause obviously Deidara didn't have Oro's ring when he joined.Originally Posted by Abdula

Why would orochimaru want to keep the ring when he left akatsuki? That would just be another thing that would make them come after him since the rings seem to be quite important for the organization.Originally Posted by Assertn
No the ring isn't the criteria. I'm just saying that is the position that needs to be filled.Originally Posted by Assertn
