VerifiedMust watch. The tense is high and mystery is here, Hidan stab himself infront of Shikamaru, I wonder what happened to him.
rosa_sisters_276
Hidan finally getting that blood for his ritual sent shivers down my spine, making me remember Asuma's brutal end all over again. I felt a real sense of dread imagining who's next for that agonizing process; it's honestly one of the creepiest jutsu in the series.
hosenki
That shadow clone swap was so fast and i really thought Kakashi was done for when Hidan swung that scythe
skull_kid
Finding out this guy has five hearts and has been alive since the first hokage era makes the stakes feel way higher now
impa
Seeing those things crawl out of his back was disgusting and he actually fought the First Hokage which makes him a complete monster
anju_272
i really want ino and choji to do more because they mostly just stand there while kakashi carries the heavy lifting, but that ending with hidan getting shikamaru's blood has me so stressed out right now and seeing shikamaru get cut like that after he worked so hard to separate them is a huge gut punch for this mission

Shikamaru using the water scroll to make Kakuzu vulnerable to lightning was such a smart move for a guy who is usually so lazy
isane_ice_queen
I was seriously floored when Kakuzu just wouldn't stay down, and then I realized he's got *five* whole hearts; no wonder he’s been a thorn in everyone's side for ages! It's so messed up that he can just send out a mask to keep brawling after taking what looked like a finishing blow, like, how do you even fight that?
brock
Ugh, Hidan's just so much, I totally get why Shikamaru is so fed up with him, I mean, his constant screaming is driving me nuts too. Seeing Shikamaru keep his cool despite all that noise really makes me think he's got this entire fight mapped out and is just waiting for the perfect moment.

My jaw dropped when Shikamaru pulled off that Shadow Possession on Hidan so quickly, seriously underestimating how fast his mind works even when he's just *pretending* to be lazy. I'm actually a little scared for Hidan, even with his immortality, because Shikamaru's got that ruthless, long-game look in his eyes that means business.
miko_iino_163
My jaw practically dropped when Kakuzu just regenerated after taking that hit, his body unraveling into those gross, dark threads that felt so wrong and unnatural. Honestly, I'm just so on edge thinking about Shikamaru going after Hidan all alone for revenge; he's clearly got this heavy weight on his shoulders from Asuma's death, and it feels like he's walking straight into a trap he might not escape.
sheikah
Kakuzu pulling out those wild elemental hearts after what Kakashi already went through was such a nasty surprise for me; I honestly didn't think he had more tricks up his sleeve after the initial fight. It makes me super nervous seeing Kakashi stretched so thin trying to handle two Akatsuki members at once, and I just hope he has a plan or backup arriving soon.
nukekubi_nemesis_63
Kakuzu's elemental mask attacks actually had me leaning forward, I didn't expect the animation to look *that* good after the past few episodes! Every single move felt incredibly fluid and impactful, making me genuinely worry about Shikamaru and the others even more than I thought I would.
queen_nehelenia
My blood was boiling watching Kakashi take such a beating, yet Ino and Choji just seemed rooted to the spot. I couldn't understand if they were genuinely trying to formulate some genius counter-attack or if they were just paralyzed, waiting for someone else to make the first move in that chaotic mess.
yurei_yamato
Shikamaru pulling Hidan away from Kakuzu felt incredibly risky, and honestly, it made my stomach drop a little seeing him walk straight into that kind of danger. But then, seeing that cold, calculating fire in his eyes, I just know he's completely locked in on avenging Asuma, and I'm really curious to see what insane trap he's cooked up next.
chris_33
Seriously, I was so caught off guard by Kakuzu having five whole hearts, like how is that even fair for Kakashi to fight? My jaw dropped when those creepy masks started popping out, and I just couldn't believe he was still kicking after Kakashi thought he'd finished him off; this dude is seriously hard to beat.
bonnie
I was genuinely on edge seeing Kakashi trying to manage those four elemental monsters all at once while simultaneously keeping the genin out of trouble; my heart was just pounding for him. It really made me appreciate how much he consistently puts their safety before his own, even when he's obviously being stretched to his absolute breaking point in battle.
misa_misa
The way Kakashi moved as those fire and wind attacks just kept coming at him was insane, I honestly couldn't believe he was still dodging! For a second there, I really thought he was gonna get overwhelmed by that crazy combo, especially with the music making it so intense.
mew
Shikamaru falling backwards really made me think, 'This is it, how is he going to get out of this?!' Then seeing him use his own blood for that shadow bind, it was such a Shikamaru move that just totally blew my mind and reminded me why he's my favorite strategist.
giratina
I honestly couldn't believe it when Shikamaru pulled off that insane blood trick to finally get Hidan, I was so glued to the screen wondering how he'd ever manage it. His calmness throughout the whole ordeal, especially after everything he'd been through, really showed me how much he's grown and the fierce resolve he has to protect his friends.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 85 sits at the boiling point of the Hidan and Kakuzu arc, directly following the team's initial assessment of Kakuzu's abilities and escalating the danger before Shikamaru's celebrated tactical counterplay takes center stage. This stretch of canon episodes represents one of Shippuden's strongest early arcs, building toward payoffs that reshape Team 10's identity. It's a critical bridge episode — the pressure applied here is what makes the upcoming strategic resolution land with real weight.
