Deidara, Hidan and Tobi: Halloween (1978) and Halloween II (1981)
The iconic theme song. The silent killer stalking his victims in the chill of the night. The way he never says any words, never gives any warning sign of his presence until it’s too late. There are a thousand different reasons why these two movies are the favorite of this particular trio. They like to camp out in the living room and watch them back to back. Sometimes they’ll eat snacks, sometimes they’ll style each others hair, a couple of times they’ve carved pumpkins like the characters in the movie. Deidara and Tobi love the first Halloween the most, and neither felt like such a perfection in storytelling really needed a sequel. Tobi especially likes to argue on how Michael Myers is scary not because of the mask (while touching his own) but because you as the viewer don’t know the motivations behind why he targets this particular group of people. Hidan got them into Halloween II and insists that it’s still scary even knowing (some) of Myer’s thought processes. And Deidara has to admit the lab explosion scene at the end is “an artistic masterpiece, hm!”
Konan: Hocus Pocus (1993)
Konan doesn’t really like scary movies, exactly. She likes things that are light and childlike, and films that evoke a sense of nostalgia. No Halloween movie gives her that sense of fulfillment quite like Hocus Pocus. The story of the boy who was turned into a cat trying to save his sister resonates with Konan, as she would have done anything to save her “family” (Yahiko and Nagato). The sweet teen love story between Max and Allison really moves her, and she has a soft spot for Max’s quirky little sister Dani. And speaking of sisters, The Sanderson Sisters holds a place on Konan’s heart as some of the greatest “villains” of all time. She’s made Deidara and Itachi sing “I Put A Spell On You “ with her more times than they care to admit, with her as the lead witch of Winnie. They’ve even dressed up as the sisters one Halloween, with Konan as Winnie, Deidara as Sarah, and Itachi as Mary. They looked fabulous but of course Hidan never lets Deidara or Itachi forget that they “dressed up like chicks”.
Nagato and Kisame: Halloweentown (1998)
Another nostalgic movie that isn’t really scary so much as it’s fun. For both of them, the notion of an entire town where “freaks” aren’t only welcome but are the norm, is very appealing to them. Kisame knows his shark-like appearance would fit right in to this mythical place, and Nagato imagines that he and his Pein bodies could really find their niche there. Kisame in general is a big fan of classic movies, and has long since been a fan of the work of Debbie Reynolds. When he found out that she played the lovable witch grandmother to Marnie in this movie, well, he was hooked. The two like to eat a lot of candy while watching this movie (it’s the only time of year that either of them truly indulges in sweets) and discuss ways they could improve the government of this fabled town.
Kakuzu: Beetlejuice 1988
Kakuzu admires the character of Beetlejuice. The man is long dead yet he’s managed to use his talent of being repulsive as a means to earn income by scaring living people out of ghosts’ former homes. Kakuzu’s always says that “Hell runs on money”, and this movie gives credibility to the idea that he’s right. He hopes that if and when he finally dies, he will be able to use his talents of bounty hunting in the afterlife to keep on earning money. Maybe wrangling up wayward spirits that don’t accept that they’ve passed on? Or souls that don’t follow whatever the rules of the afterlife are? Kakuzu sees the possibilities as being endless. Kakuzu has also always had an eye for architecture and especially buildings or structures that are way outside of the norm. He’s fascinated by the remodeling that Delia Deetz does to Maitland’s house, and secretly would love such a bizarrely constructed house to live in himself one day.
Itachi: A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
Itachi despises Freddy Krueger. In his mind, the man being burned alive was too light a punishment for the atrocious acts he committed against children. BUT the Uchiha was understandably drawn in by the concept of being able to control and manipulate someone through their dreams. Very similar to gengetsu, and some of the nightmares that Freddy gives to people have become inspiration for visions that Itachi’s given to his enemies. Konan likes to watch this movie with him, as she likes the character of Nancy Thompson; but she gets so scared during the movie that she has to hold on to Itachi’s arm for support the whole time. Itachi often comes away with deep fingerprints imbedded into his skin the next day.
Zetsu: Little Shop Of Horrors (1986)
It should be no big surprise that a movie about a sentient plant with a rapidly developing lust for human flesh would be Zetsu’s favorite Halloween film. He loves how manipulative the plant Audrey II is with Seymour, and how easily he’s able to convince him to “feed” him. Zetsu also loves how campy this movie is, with the overzealous acting and the constant musical numbers. He’s tried to convince the entire Akatsuki to put this on as a play, and invite people from neighboring villages to come and watch. When Nagato questioned what they would do after the viewers realized they were all Akatsuki members, Zetsu’s solution was to invite them backstage to “meet” Audrey II … and never emerge again. Of course his idea was shot down, but he still loves the movie and watches it at least 10 times every October.
Sasori and Orochimaru: Child’s Play (1988)
This one almost seems too obvious, but Sasori really, REALLY loves the character of Charles Lee Ray, aka Chucky. Finding a way to beat death by transferring his soul into a body that could never be hurt, or age, or die? Sasori was sold from the first time his grandmother let him watch this film as a little boy. Of course Chucky’s body isn’t without flaws; in fact carefully studying Chucky’s design is what’s driven Sasori to make so many improvements on his own body. When Orochimaru was still in the Akatsuki these two would watch Child’s Play and it’s sequels, and argue on whether Chucky had found the best path to immortality. One thing that Sasori can’t relate to, however, is Chucky’s desire to transfer his soul back out of a doll and into another human body. Sasori prefers to stay in his doll body for eternity. Orochimaru, however, was very, very intrigued at the idea of putting one’s essence into different bodies, and this movie opened up his mind to hours of research (and eventually trial and error) on the subject.
Probably him versus Madara, right? I'll bet that was easy. You can probably picture it in your head and would gladly rewatch it because it's epic and iconic. Sure, part of that is Madara's insanity being captivating but Gai truly shines on his own.
Now name your favorite Kakashi fight.
For me, the answer to that takes way longer. Maybe we can say Zabuza versus Kakashi? Sure, it was interesting because it was one of the first big "high-level" ninja fights we had seen at the time... but can I really remember it beyond the water dragon? Beyond Naruto and Sasuke's far more interesting fight happening at the same time lol? Not really.
Is it him getting destroyed by Itachi then? Sasuke almost taking him out on the bridge even though homie had just ran against 5 Kage and defeated Danzo while nearly blind? Him versus Kakuzu/Hidan... where Naruto and Team 10 take center stage? Dying to Pain? The utterly ridiculous DMS ass pull?
His fights are really lackluster, in my opinion. I mean he predominantly relies on someone else's power and that person does it way better lol, but that's all I'll say about that lol.
It's a Shonen. The fighting is important, and in my metric for deciding "best" I think that's something to consider. Gai versus Kakashi is quality over quantity in that regard.
Therefore Gai it is (for me)! Now excuse me while I go rewatch Gai versus Madara for the 1000th time and still get hyped.
I know this is rhetorical and you’re not looking for an answer from me but I feel like chatting LOL. You see, Easter Kakashi was almost what I was thinking, for the pure joy of seeing an Uchiha do that to him (lol), but then I remembered that Kakashi is part of the Obito vs Kakashi in Kamui fight… (Which is one of my favourite fights of the whole series because of how beautifully it’s formatted and the meaning it has)… I think the fact that I had to remember that Kakashi was a part of that fight says something… I think you word it very well, he’s rather lacklustre, and he’s also nothing without “his” sharingan but even then he does not use it impressively.
Now excuse me as well as I too go rewatch Gai vs Madara.
8) favorite girl ninja’s outfit: mei!! blue dress!!! also konan but konan's is so weather inappropriate for a town that's always cold and wet that imo it's better just to look at. i can't think about wearing a tank top in rain it would be so uncomfy
9) favorite boy ninja’s outfit: lee/gai's probably. because it's iconic! and they appreciate legwarmers. points also go to kakuzu's halter top and raiga's outfit which i have cosplays of and are very comfy.
10) favorite ninja’s hair: so as a person who wears wigs regularly this is going to mean something different for me than it is for everyone else, but it's buntan.
^this is the cozy hair!! it doesn't look like it, and i didn't expect it to be, but that's the truth. honorable mentions to deidara, mei again, and jibiki's gay little anchor clip
14) which opening is your favorite: i don't know :/ i don't watch the show much i'm more of a reader. diver i guess, it just hits all the marks for me
// been a while since I last saw this now... or actually, they had only made four episodes. and now it’s sorta complete and i’m yET AGAin speechless
dear g o d.
THEY ARE SO GOOD. THE ACTING, THE FIGHTING––
THE FCKING ... ATMOSPHERE IS SO GOOD.
THE LIGHTING AND SCENOGRAPHY ARE SOOO GOOOOd.
the only thing i’m bummed about is... that kakashi didn’t get more time in it. i really wanted to see that ICONIC Kakuzu vs Kakashi fight, but I GEt it, i get it–– the entire project cost a SHIT TON, so... I understand. It’s just a bit unfortunate–– but ohmygosh how i love this.. WHAT FANS CAN ACCOMPLISH, HUH???? fantastic.

probably does not count but everything related to obito: the Gaiden, the reveal, the fight, when he pins obito down (my header pic), and the death. those two just.. chefs kiss. also kakashi is so resolved around obito and WITH obito and ugh, just.. the connection.. ugh (I especially love the kakashi susanoo aaaa that scene, that music??? amazing)
I think I am oblidged to say the Kakuzu fight because he is being smart and he is looking good? AND when Tenzo comes in he gets to make fun of his senpai a litte. iconic.
when he went into root and made sure Tenzo could follow him out, even if that was treason. That was very brave and very very reckless and showed how little regard he had for himself at that time, but it was so GOOD. Because he is good.
but like when do i ever not love kakashi? so thats soo hard to chose
