Gedo statue: Akatsuki rings explained

Sangita Ekka, December 10, 2022February 17, 2023




Akatsuki members are intriguing. From painting their nails to crossing out their headbands, this notorious bunch shares a few habits, and wearing rings is one of them.

The Fourth Shinobi war lift the shroud about who the Akatsuki members were, and we saw some memorable, epic battles. Since Shinobis cast jutsu by hand gestures, it’s not surprising to find that people notice the individual rings on each member, and each one of them wears it on a different finger.

So why do the Akatsuki wear rings?

The answer apart from the dress code of belonging to a cult has a more ritualistic notion. Each time the Akatsuki extract a tailed beast from a Jinchuriki, they must take one specific place on the fingers of the Gedo statue.

Refer to the screenshot below:

The position an Akatsuki member takes on the Gedo statue coincides with the Akatsuki ring they wear on a particular finger.

Itachi’s Akatsuki ring – Shu, sits on his right ring finger. Pain’s Akatsuki ring – Rei, sits on his right thumb and so on. The reason for this ritual of coincidence with the Gedo statue also emphasizes the rules and the order of hand signs that must follow to cast a jutsu.

In conclusion, the Gedo statue is the reason why Akatsuki members wear rings and with such specificity.

  I have often wondered if Naruto fans were given a taste of Akatsuki long before any of the members made an appearance. Much before the mind-turning brilliant extravaganza of Shippuden could unfold, Zabuza and Haku pretty much operated in a similar fashion. Both Zabuza and Haku were notorious killers…
