Deidara is among the villains that I am most familiar with, mainly because I have seen most of the episodes where he appeared. He was unstoppable and his death definitely made a difference in the strength of the Akatsuki clan. Even Gaara, one of my favorite characters in the franchise, didn;t stand a chance against Deidara as his explosive power of Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai mixed with his Shadow Clone technique will definitely kill anyone within range.
