The Old Priest's Prayer

The old priest's prayer reveals Hidan's faith: the death god Jashin, the ritual that binds a victim's pain to the caster, and the cursed circle that makes Hidan's body a voodoo conduit. The episode unveils the arc's central horror — an immortal who feels every wound he inflicts and inflicts every wound he feels, killing through a link of shared agony. Team 10 confronts an enemy whose religion is murder and whose body cannot die. Asuma steps forward against a man who turns combat into a sacrament of pain.
