Kisame isn’t particularly fast, as he gets blitzed by KCM Naruto (the second he got KCM) and Guy. But Kishimoto wanted all of the Akatsuki members to be more monstrous than human.-Kisame-Hidan-Zetsu-Kakuzu-Sasori Kisame does a resemble a Japanese mythological creature called a No, I don't think Kisame was a shark-sage, he was one of the 7 swordmen. Samehada slicing through Fire Release. However, he has insane durability and willpower. As the blade is made up of scales, it inflicts injuries through shredding or shaving what it comes into contact with, rather than just cutting the object in question. I don't know specifically how or why he ended up the way he is. First off, we need to look at Or is there something deeper? This flaying effect is similar to a shark's skin, hence the sword's name., hence the sword's name. Guten tag jungen und madchen, today I want to discuss Kisame's appearance. (i would post) No, Kisame does not have a shark demon inside of him. He had a shark-like appearance way before he got so strong as he was, and even before getting his sword. look at the guy, he has gills and all! Why is he a shark that is capable of doing what everyone else is able to do? and suigetsu even said it himself, in chapter 404. so don't tell me he's just a 'blue human!' Because Kisame is supposed to look like a Shark since he came from the Village Hidden in the Mist in the Water Country and sharks live in Water and Sharks are blue. You get too carried away, because he can fuse with the sword and transform High-kage level, easily. If he did, he wouldn't be in Akatsuki and they wouldve extracted Kisame's 'demon' long ago. Is it simply a cosmetic choice from Kishimoto? Now that Kisame's been getting a quater of an inch of spotlight, i've began to wonder again; is kisame a shark or what?!
