Deidara's skills are geniunely awesome. I mean, for Christ's sake, he strategies and Houdini escapes are as good as or better than Sasuke's. Blows himself up in a suicidal attempt to kill Team Gai and Team Kakashi. Dead? No. It was a clone, and he hid underground. Pinned to C2 Dragon with shuriken as it crashes and detonates. Dead? No. Escapes by pulling the shuriken out with his feet. Chidori'd through the chest. Dead? No. Another clone, while Deidara pops out of his clay bird from below and engulfs Sasuke in C4. He pulls off this shit that any other bad guy would probably end up falling victim to in an embarrassing Kakuzu-esque way. Now, you can say Sasuke done some impressive escapes too, but he's a main character. OF COURSE HE ISN'T GOING TO DIE. Deidara doesn't have that going for him. He's just. Fucking. Cool.

And, again, he can blow up entire villages with nuke-sized bombs. Sasuke's got NOTHIN' on that.
Are you questioning the Japanese fans on who they think is cooler/popular? Just face it, Sasuke is cooler than Deidara. If you have a problem with that, then take it up with Japanese fans.

True, Sasuke can't blow up entire villages with nuke-sized clay explosives. But, he can defeat 1000+ ninjas myself, kill one of the legendary sannin, scare the hell out of 2 psychopath killers (Suigetsu & Juugo) & disable Deidara's explosive clay with his raiton jutsu. Deidara definitely got NOTHIN' on that.

Oh, and by the way. Sasuke > Deidara > Orochimaru > Sasori.
The Japanese fans PREFER Sasuke. That just means more of them like him. Deidara's still cooler, if you look at the stuff I pointed out.

As for Sasuke's "achievements"...

1. Those ninjas probably weren't any stronger than Mizuki on average. Kimimaro probably could've done the same thing with only slightly more effort put forth.

2. Orochimaru was in a weakened state, AND he was pulling his punches to try not to kill Sasuke.

3. Suigetsu and Juugo don't seem very strong. Probably Kakashi/Gai-level at best. After all, Juugo had been kept in check by Kimimaro, who we all know is nothing special, and Suigetsu sorta shit himself when he saw Juugo go Cursed Seal.

4. Just an elemental advantage. Hardly an achievement on Sasuke's part.

Deidara has plenty on that:

1. He infiltrated Suna ALONE, defeated/captured their Kazekage (Gaara, who was, *gasp*, a main character) with a genius strategy, despite the latter having a few major advantages.

2. Has survived numerous close-calls, as I stated previously.

3. CAN FREAKING NUKE VILLAGES.

4. Can create microscopic bombs that do damage on a cellular level.

5. HAS DEVELOPED HIS LEFT EYE TO COUNTER SHARINGAN GENJUTSU, a thing that's been unheard of in all of the Naruto series. For anyone else, looking a Sharingan user in the eyes means death. Deidara's the only non-Uchiha who can tackle the Sharingan's illusionary powers and fend them off.

Face it, Deidara is WAY cooler.

Oh, "and by the way", Sasori>Deidara=Sasuke>Orochimaru, as I JUST PROVED. That's right. PROVED. Unless you can prove me wrong, eat it. Eat it and like it.
