Elemental Opposites: the team members don't use much teamwork and fight independently of each other for the most part
Itachi and Kisame - Country of Fire and Country of Water
Fire does not benefit water. Fire can become an enemy to water by evaporating it. Water does not benefit fire. Water can become an enemy to fire by putting it out.
Sasori and Deidara - Country of Wind and Country of Earth
Wind does not benefit earth. Wind can become an enemy to earth by eroding it. Earth does not benefit wind. Earth can become an enemy to wind by blocking its range of motion.
Natural Complements: the team members use teamwork and fight together for the most part
Kakuzu and Hidan - Country of Waterfall and Country of River
A river flows into a waterfall, which then flows into a river. It becomes a neverending cycle.
Leader and Blue Hair - Country of Lightning/Thunder and Country of Rain
During a storm, rain is accompanied by lightning/thunder and lightning/thunder is accompanied by rain.
Country of Grass has no natural complement or opposite. Therefore, Zetsu works alone.
If you can see any correlations between the elements and Orochimaru and Sasori or the elements and Deidara and Tobi, feel free to post them.
Good analysis!
Nice one, but I am not sure that Tobi is a Wind element or not.
yeah, that is actually a really good point, nicely done.
Yes, but how do we know that the Leader isn't from Konoha o.O? Everyone who is anyone is from Konoha^^
Doesn't stop him from using lightning or water based technicues though.
Good analysis, yet I want to make some other points based on your analysis.
I think Deidara (Earth) can be accompanied by Zetsu (Grass.) Grass and Earth natural companions too, aren't they?
Here is the point coming; We know that Sasori was partner of Orochimaru before he left. Also, we know that Orochimaru left with his ring, so Akatsuki can't replace him by a new member.
What does that mean? Everyone had a partner. Orochimaru had left. Sasori left without a partner. Then Deidara became Sasori's partner. Guess who is alone now? Yes, Zetsu. Deidara was Zetsu's partner in the past, already. Grass amp; Earth
And Orochimaru was Fire, Sasori was Wind. Wind either can distinguish or give a boost to a fire, and fire can...?
Anyways.

I don't think everyone had a partner before. Jiraiya said they split to teams after Orochimaru left. What Sasori and Oro had was not an official Akatsuki partnership, but rather two guys deciding to stick together.

Actually, the manga stated that Sasori was Oro's partner if i remember correctly.

Did you read anything of what I wrote?
Ugh. Listen to grrblt.
Haha. Kidding. Don't wanna sound monotonous or anything.
Anyways, nice observation there.

The manga said they were partners.
You are speculating that they just decided to stick together, when the manga is opposed to this as they hated each others.

They obviously meant life partners.
Well, they had the same area of interest, immortality.

Yes, I read what you said. The manga said they were partners. I also said they were partners. Apparently, you just decided to throw my comment back at me without giving thought to why I wrote it in the first place.
Nowhere in the manga does it state when they started to hate each other. However, it the manga does state that Akatsuki split into teams after Oro left. Plausible chain of events:
Akatsuki forms with 9 members. They prepare their common goals by gathering jutsu from all over the world.
Oro and Sasori notice the similarities in their personal goals and team up. The other guys do not necessarily team up at all.
Some time later: Itachi joins. Oro leaves. Sasori starts to hate Oro.
Akatsuki split in pairs.
Wow. Never looked at it like that.

You said they were not partner, that they just decided to stick together.
There is a difference.

Actually, the Original Akatsuki had 10 members not nine.
The rest of your post is pure speculation, in fact the manga disagrees with you.
Itachi did joined akatsuki when Oro was in akatsuki, reason why Oro leave akatsuki due to Itachi.
There are ten rings, and you know that Hades had ten fingers.So there were 10 akatsuki members
The pairings may actually not have any bearing on element
They seem to typically pair intellect with pure brawn One member is a hot head compared to the other
Also, water and fire create mist which is good for concealment while earth and wind are to sand in the Naruto universe
The interesting part is how they were sent out, earth and wind went to capture sand?
are there any other such connections?
Very nice idea, but is there a country of river? |
