Naruto Thread (Spoilers For Sure)

Considering that Deidara was part of the hidden rock(and a highly respected member) I wouldn't be surprised if they told the joint army that raiton disables blast element. And I don't think you need to be a sensor in order to see that there are swords charged with raiton sticking into a container that's being loud and obnoxious to know that Deidara can't do anything. Raiton infused swords glow.

EDIT: Thanks Byakugan for the correction.

Have you forgotten what this argument is about? I argue that Deidara is out of or at least low on chakra and I've the 'you can't do anything' comment of hanzo to support it, while you say that he was out of explosives or at least rendered useless by raiton chakra. But that makes no sense as we've seen he was able to self destruct by the comment of Deidara which said that he should have self destructed and hanzo's comment is directed at deidara who wants to be freed. Hanzo basically says he'll be useless so he's not going to bother freeing him. And it was Hanzo one of the edo tensei's to make that comment and not one of the joint shinobi army, so I don't really get your first sentence.
