Talk:Akatsuki

since the have cloaks wouldn't team sanke be full fledged members by now?
 * For full membership, I believe the rings are required, Tobi only got to be a member after he got Sasori's ring. Omnibender 13:54, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Age
Deidara is nineteen? When was this? Source, please?

What is wrong with the article...?
For some reason i cant see the reference nor the categories... could someone explain? Gojita 14:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed, someone stupidly used . Because they used a stupid, invalid comment format they went and created a comment which did not close and thus broke every bit of the article after that point. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion  Apr 16, 2008 @ 01:19 (UTC)

Error?
Wasn't Itachi replaced with Sasuke by Madara? Zejoro 10:08, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Madara made a alliance with Snake/Hawk because he lacked people. I don't think he has replaced anyone yet. Jacce 10:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Goal
I may not be completely up to date, and i skipped a few chapters in between places in shippuden but could i have a source for this info? i have never seen Pain confirm any of his goals... just want to make sure that we have valid info here Acacia Akiyama 17:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The three stage goals was stated in chapter 329, starting on page 11. Pain's purpose with the demons was stated in chapter 374 page 11 (how ironically). I hope that was helpful. Jacce 17:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes very helpfull thank you 156.34.181.176 17:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Similarities
Why did someone get rid of the list of the similarities of Akatsuki Team Members?

manga members
in the meeting after the sakuke and naruto fight the shapes of the members are different, one guy is twice as big as all the others and other profiles don't match. can someone check this to make sure im not crazy--PAIN 04:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe some former member that died during the time skip. Jacce 05:09, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Judging by the big guy's silhouette (ignoring his size for a moment), that guy is Kakuzu. Kishimoto probably decided to make him smaller later on. If you check Kakuzu's position when they extract Shukaku, you can see he's also very large there.
 * The only silhouette I couldn't identify in the ch.238 meeting was the one saying "Itachi, your little brother?". This silhouette later appears again during the Shukaku extraction in ch.255 to complain he was irritated because he couldn't find his jinchūriki and wanted to engage Team Guy. This silhouette was probably an early design for Hidan or was meant to be Hidan's predecessor, one of the partners Kakuzu killed. --ShounenSuki (talk 07:59, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Immortality, Eternal Youth and Long Life Span
I believe Pain should be removed from this list as we cn clearly see that the bodies are deceased puppets being controlled by someone else, at least until the Nagato body can prove he can rejoin this section. ~Super Novice-Talk to Me~ 04:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I humbly disagree, SuperN, as Pain can replace his bodies, as seen by him replacing his Animal Path, thus avoiding death.--Ethelion 05:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You're not understanding what I am saying. I'm not disagreeing with the fact Pain can replaced any of his Paths I'm saying until he is shown replacing or proving to live exceptionally long in his Nagato Body(one one walking around with black and and in a machine) he shouldn't be on the list. ~Super Novice-Talk to Me~ 05:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Omg he can replace his paths, yes that is true, but when his real body dies the deceased bodies will go back to being deceased bodies, Nagato cant replace himself
 * That's exactly what were saying and seeing as how the Paths are not the real Pain/ Nagato he should be excluded from the list of immortals or those with long lives.~Super Novice-Talk to Me~ 00:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, Pain should be removed from this list. Kankurō can replace his puppets too, but we don't consider him to have anything close to immortality or an increased lifespan. --ShounenSuki (talk 00:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Reasons for Recruitment
You have incorrectly said some of their reasons, Itachi's is actually "Philosophy, and Deidaras is whim, not 'just because'. Kakuzus is Raw Materials, and Kisames is Grievance.
