No dude. Hidan does not need, "to surprise meruem". He faster and stronger than him already.
I'm saying without even the blood ritual, plain hidan with his scythe thing can just box down meruem. Just throwing hands. The only thing meruem would have going for him is possibly stamina. And that's when Hidan would need the blood ritual to end the fight quickly. Get it? It's just a choice whether hidan wants to end the fight sooner.
See you're saying Hidan rushed the tailed beast as kakuzu BLASTED BOTH OF THEM. And yet the tailed beast went down before hidan? That would mean Hidan would have to have higher durability than the tailed beast which we know can't be true
What's mor likely is hat it was just a regular fight and not something as we're as that. And given that kakuzu and hidan walked out of it basically unharmed, it would imply that it wasn't even hard
Like if two guys low diff someone while holding back (hidan held back because you aren't supposed to kill the jinchuriki meaning hidan chose not to kill her) then each of them alone would probably go extreme diff with her.
By extreme diff I mean 1v1, either of them could've won so that's why the akatsuki send two guys who can possibly beat a tailed beast, to ensure that it happens without any injury.
Remember Deidara was sent in alone for Gaara and indeed the fight was basically an extreme diff where either could've won. And that only happened because sasori was an asshole who didn't want to help Deidara. And then next time Deidara actually got help from Tobi, he once again low diffed the three tails.
That's what I mean. Ech akatsuki ha a chance of beating a tailed beast they are sent after and of course some have better chance than others like Kisame seemingly low diffed the four tails but I think that's the bench mark. You have to be able to win 1v1 and then they pair you with another guy who can also win and the ensures you will definitely win

Hs immortality isn't that simple. He definitely has some kind of regeneration since aauma burnt the guy's skin off and he was fine the next fight and off course he lost his head but threads on the outer part of his neck are enough to heal him? Also he stabs himself regularly and yet the wounds disappears in the next fight.
I think it's that thing where if his boy parts are next to each other, the can regenerate over time. But if you keep them separated they stay like that. He has regeneration but it's not instant and it's doesn't do weird shot like regrow entire limbs
