No.416, The background specification book has been completed.
Hunter x hunter is over lol
At least one Heil-Ly member has to kill a Prince, this feels like a Chekov's Gun waiting to be fired. The question I have, is which member, and which Prince? I feel the members with the most narrative likelihood are Morena herself, and Borksen. As for the Princes, I would say the mafia princes are similarly the most likely targets. Zhang Lei has left Tier 1, and Luzurus likely did the same, though he's also the target of an assassination plot (if you assume Melody and Kacho aren't playing Kaiser). I think there's another Prince worth considering though, and that's Benjamin.In this current circumstance, there are three options for him. One, he succumbs to the poison. Two, he gets cured, whether you subscribe to the Zodiac or the Tubeppa theory. Three, he gets killed. Since Benjamin is hunting for the missing Princes, it seems unlikely he'll actually make his way back up to Tier 1, he seems intent on going after the higher ranking, missing, Princes. He's going to be slowly weakening the whole time, to the point anyone might be able to kill him. This leads me to think that Borksen may come across a half-dead Benjamin, and out of fear of being targeted by Heil-Ly, kill him when he's already practically dead. Any other combination of kills for her to gain a Nen ability would require her to kill 2 people, at least. A Prince allows her to get her hands dirty once, and suddenly become a real threat. I think there's a nonzero chance she comes across a half-asleep Luzurus and similarly gets an easy kill.
>>281877484Let’s see if Togashi can close all these plot and character arcs (like 50 of them minimum, just looking at notable characters), in a satisfying way.We haven’t even seen Machi in what feels like a decade.
>>28187766580 at least
>>281877484Morena will kill Nasbui
You're laughing. Prince Benjamin is shitting himself to death and you're laughing.
>>281877665Last thing she did was stare at Illumi, I guess she got her eye on him and probably doesn't buy the fishy engagement ring story
>>281877837Yea. If he can do it in the 50 chapters he stated, without just going for a quick massacre, then Togashi is the greatest plotter in history.
>>281877203When are the chapters dropping, December?
>>281878279Not sure. He usually has the previous volume officially released before a new batch and jump has to agree with the scheduling. So maybe late October
>>281878279>>281878315Late october seems safe considering that was when he released the last two batches. If I dont remember wrong he has most of the work done until chapter 424 since last year, so he doesnt have to do that much to have 10 chapters ready
what’s the point of them?

>>281878441another plot point togashi's not gonna resolve
*SMACK*
Furykov yumejos reunite?
WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
>>281877665Anon Togashi has never wrapped up all his plot threads neatly. Not in any of his prior works and not even in HxH up to this point. Some things will be resolved, probably in an anti-climax, and a lot of it will be dropped/forgotten.

O my random sketches!
Zazan is beautiful
not rereading this arc again to remember the state of play of the gorillion characterswill only touch it when he finally finishes by 2032 or whatever
These coins...what do they do...
>>281883833The coins can be traded, and nen will increase exponentially within them if held for a long period of time, thus unlocking nen abilities within the wielder or nen awaking non nen users. While it carries almost no risk or cost, the Guardian Beast will probably demand an even price that might be pseudo-coercitive manipulation.
>>281877203I don't care about all these stupid boat faggots. Why is togashi doing this? He knows he will only ever release another 50-100 chapters but he introduces 200 new named characters and focuses entirely on them. He's such a hack
Hisoka will marry Machi
whats with the shipperfags
>>281883631
Why was the bomb cheap?
>>281880775Ging was so lucky
>>281877203With how poorly Togashi wrote the ending of YYH, I don't want him to write the HxH ending. It's already so perfect yet a bad ending could ruin all of its legacy.
>>281885834She's his cousin/sister btw
i want to kiss borksen its not far bros ;_;
I expect only two more arcs. The succession war arc and the dc arc where humanity gets rekt and returns back like past 5 voyages.
>>281877203>A whole chapter at onceH-he's fast!
>>281877203How do you fags even remember what happens between each batch release
>>281889473It's easy because I don't have a sieve for a brain like you and also I don't mind doing some rereading since we have a decent chunk of time between a batch being announced/drawn and it being released.
Hisoka is so lucky
Sunk cost fallacy-induced schizophrenia is the only reason a single soul cares that this series exists anymore. Just admit it. You invested too much time and energy into this and tied it too much to your identity as the passive NPC consumer you are and you can't give it up no matter how much time you keep wasting.
>>281890179whatever that mean uncle
>>281883833>Putting the coins in Hashito's piggy bank was useless. Maybe i should break one coin to see how they are made? No, that would offend the jewish princes >mumble mumble mumble
>>281890223Y NO HABLO INGLES SENIOR
>>281884036Togahsi is doing this because the series will sell 500k per volume due to dedicated die hards, and so He can write whatever he wants without drastic editor influence. Togashi is seemingly keeping himself “challenged “ to keep him motivated to not retire - which is probably why he wanted to make the most introduced characters in a single arc that surpasses Tsubasas largest character amount arc, to be the most in Shonen history. Doesn’t matter if it’s to the detriment of the story, Togashi wanted the challenge and he wasn’t gonna back off it. >>281886258The difference between late YYH and current Hunter is that Togashi straight up got sick of YYH and wanted it to end. Because he can stop working on Hunter whenever he wants, the pressure isn’t the same.Togashi’s much more likely to never finish than to finish Hunter. >>281889473It’s not hard for me to remember big plot points, but little shit, I don’t remember, and most of it isn’t important to remember. If it is important, it’ll get brought up again and I can reread. If it’s not important, then I can discard it and it won’t be brought up again.
I wouldn’t be shocked if chapter release threads take over a day to reach 500. That’s how dead the site is.
Where pages
>>281891484>The difference between late YYH and current Hunter is that Togashi straight up got sick of YYH and wanted it to endhe also wants to end HxH which is why he has to "challenge" himself with shitty writing that seems like an entirely different manga

Advanced Manipulator TechniquesMind Control Mastery: Manipulators have a whole toolkit of mind-bending techniques:Soliciting: The subtle art of persuasion. Why force when one can convince? Rewriting memories is just the tip of the iceberg here.Coercive: Total domination, mind and body. It's not just mind control; it's life control.Pseudo-coercive: When one can't control the mind, control the situation. It's like setting up a maze with only one exit – their way.Diffusive Induction: The crowd-pleaser. Weak coercion, but on a massive scale. Perfect for swaying emotions and creating instant fan clubs.Conditional Manipulation: The more ridiculous the condition, the more powerful the control. It's like making a deal with the universe, and the universe always pays up.Self-Manipulation: Who says you can't be your own puppet master? Some Manipulators turn their skills inward, becoming their own personal upgrade system.Nen Type Fusion: Mixing Manipulation with other Nen types is where things get really spicy. Imagine controlling someone from a distance (hello, Emission) or creating and then manipulating objects.Aura Node Manipulation: For the truly advanced, messing with someone's aura nodes is like hacking their spiritual firewall. It's a high-risk, high-reward space.If Illumi has less aura than Uvogin, will the Nen ability still be an instant win or turn into a semi-pseudo-coercive?
Benjamin is not entitled to a single win.
>>281894433Ben will die shitting himself or job to Tse to hype him up unless his nen beast has a rubber nen tier plot armor
Yeah, Ben will die, but the Nen beast will reverse time.A clusterfuck of time based abilitys
Everyone who has looked like this will jobBenshart was the first
>>281894408>If Illumi has less aura than Uvogin, will the Nen ability still be an instant win or turn into a semi-pseudo-coercive?Nothing so far suggests that aura quantity correlates to the degree of manipulation. All that matters is the affinity the user has with manipulation, the method of application of aura to the target, and the intentions of the user. There is also aura defense if the attack requires some physical component as well as the FCFS rule about controlling an already manipulated target. So no matter the difference in aura. If a manipulator gets their conditions off their ability will activate unless FCFS is in effect. The only thing that matters in Uvogin vs Illumi is whether Illumi could pierce Uvo's aura and get a needle in his skin.
>>281895035His only accomplishment so far was killing his overweight brother.Wonder what happens to his team once he's dead—do they switch allegiance?

>>281889473You don't remember what happened in stories you read 2 years ago? I remember what happens in Naruto and that manga ended over a decade ago. It's also three times as long. Do you not remember what happens in Yorknew or the Chimera Ant Arc? Those are older than the current arc.>>281890179Incredibly low IQ post. People don't read stories for their endings. The ending of a story is its own thing. Hunter x Hunter is full of stories: every chapter, every scene, every story arc, every character arc is its own story, and that's what people are reading. One Piece and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are the same. They can end tomorrow, they could've ended 20 years ago, they can never end - it doesn't matter. To think it does is to exhibit a massive misunderstanding of how stories work.But even that doesn't explain everything, because I'm still referring to stories, but manga is about more than stories. People like Hunter x Hunter for its cinematic moments and detailed power system. If the next chapter introduced a new character with a cool ability and Togashi showed it off in an artistic way, everyone would be excited - not because the story is coming closer to an ending (it's doing the opposite), but because he came up with an interesting ability and created something artistically satisfying. The plot can go fuck itself, this isn't a novel.You also make one more logical mistake that every Hunter x Hunter shitposter in particular loves making, which is the idea of investment. Who's "wasting their time" waiting for new chapters? Are we sitting in a lobby or something? Nobody "waits" for new chapters, they go to work, hang out with friends, exercise, read other manga, play video games, shitpost on 4chan - and all of this is time they're "waiting" for a new chapter. What exactly is the problem here? There isn't one. When a new chapter comes out, they'll read it. Until then, they'll go do the things they always do. Nobody's wasting time on anything.What a retard.
>>281898071Uvo has been dead for years by this point and Illumi wouldn't have enough needles for that many people. He probably has a soft cap for a dozen needlemen given the requirement to charge those tools. And his normal needles don't seem to be able to do more than force someone to talk.
>>281899470Why did you give this much texts in a response to a baiting troll? Just ignore them. If people ignored obvious baiting trolls thread quality would go up 10% minimum.
I’m sad I discovered this series to late to be in peak silent majority discussions. I feel like you could easily fill a thread with high level discussion on who can be the killer but nobody give a shit anymore.
>>281899917>If people ignored obvious baiting trolls thread quality would go up 10% minimum.So it'd stay at 0?
I am silent majority.
>Umm, you have a slight British accent? Then you're an Emission user tending towards Manipulation who however trained towards the Emission/Enhancer combination and has an ability related to shooting waves of tea and you've been married for 12 years but your wife cheats you with an Enhancer (me), also your credit card number is...The fuck you mean there are subtle ways to find out Nen categories and this random ass dude from a country that is canonically confirmed to be less experienced with Nen is the only one we've seen do it so far? No, Hisoka's random predictions do not count.
>>281899988>nobody gives a shit anymorebecause we know who it is now
>>281900699Who is it?
>>281900654>from a country that is canonically confirmed to be less experienced with NenThey are self stated but nothing suggests that Kakin significantly lags behind anyone else in terms of nen knowledge. The only thing they are proven is to underestimate themselves when it comes to the illustrious hunter's association.
How do anons currently feel about the theories that>Rice is currently possessed by a Halkenburg follower>Kacho and Melody's Luzurus plot is actually bait to figure out Kaiser>Illumi has a job to kill a named character on the boat besides Hisoka
Togashi decides the next person who dies by the time his next bowl movement comes. The method by the time his wife finishes wiping him. And actually drawing it when his back starts to recover from the endless shitting and trying to wipe himself. So like every year there’s some sort of progress even though we don’t see it.
>>281901059Benjamin was Togashi all along. Shitting in the toilet/
>>281901059>>281901151
>>281900654I actually read Mindhunter this year, the semi-autobiography of John Douglas, the man the press called America's Sherlock Holmes, helping catch dozens of serial killers, and he is the principal figure responsible for the concept of criminal profiling and the formation of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. He never had any aspirations of being part of law enforcement. He was a jock in high school and flunked out of college because he fooled around too much and didn't have any long-term career plans. He got recruited into the military because he felt like he had to do something with his life, but he spent the entire time teaching deployed soldiers' wives and kids how to swim and boxed recreationally. He talked a lot to others about his interest in psychology and how he had a knack for reading others, and through sheer social connections, got an offer to join the FBI. He helped with various bank robberies and hostage situations before he was able to spread his ideas up through the chain of command about his interest in creating some kind of scientific unit for profiling criminals and it turned out some guys were already doing something like this, but it was flaky and nobody took it seriously. He and another guy got sent across the country to help with some crime and he noticed that a prison with a famous serial killer was nearby, so arranged an interview with the guy to see if they could learn anything about how criminals' think from him. This was fruitful and so on the way home they hit up several prisons and interviewed high profile criminals. His ideas were mocked at first, but he blew everyone's minds when he accurately described the Trailside Killer in 1981. He told a room of police officers his age, size, home situation, car model and that he'd have a noticeable stutter, and they all thought he was crazy, but it all turned out to be accurate. He and his men examined thousands of criminals and put themselves in their shoes.Furykov reminds me of that.
Come on was this fags monologue necessary? Seriously, Christ. People meme about Rihan but at least Rihan did something and has an interesting ability.This fag that no one remembers got like 3 pages of text dedicated to him fantasizing about Halks ability when we were gonna get the explanation anyways , this page specially is a pain in the ass
>>281901505He didn't explain anything that was later explained in detail. Togashi's explaining the ability and how Manipulation works in greater detail to the reader, and why Shikaku can't just assassinate Halkenburg.
>>281896321>>281890160>>281884414>>281878590
>>2818999882015-2020 was peak hunterchad posting, there was little glimmers of it when the last 2 batches released but /a/ has changed in recent years
>>281901505All this page shows is someone being a scaredy cat because of the schrodinger's cat issue involving Halkenburg’s powers.
>>281901431Cammy doesn't like Furykov and so I don't either
When did people stop believing in Roy?
>>281901505I really like these types of pages on re-reads, they flow smoothly aren't irritating to read

I miss them
>>281899988Hard to give a shit without content anon..Obviously we discussed these things in the past to.. great extent.
>>281903269What about the new revelation about Beyong? Could SM be related to his cursed kids?
>>281900705No one knows. He might have not even been himself in the room the whole time.For some reason Furykov thought it was Longhi.
>>281890160She doesn't like him shippers
>>281901618Chrollo was a hack for cheating on a fight and having the spiders help him in killing Hisoka.
>>281904375Agreeing to fight at heaven arena was just a bad move, clownbros got too cocky
>>281903531>He might have not even been himself in the room the whole timeHe couldn't have been in the room during the initial attacks because everyone who was is dead now except Kurapika, Oito, Woble, Bill and what's-her-face, and Kurapika used his chain on everyone but Woble to make sure they're not the SM user. I can't remember if Kurapika thinks this, but Furykov thought the SM user was one of the people taking the Nen classes. I'd have to go back and reread everything, but maybe Furykov just didn't realize Oito's lack of men was due to SM. I personally don't see why the user has to be in the room, readers assume it's true because Togashi had a character say it.>For some reason Furykov thought it was Longhi.Because there were four "secret Nen users" in the room. One was the chick SM followed into the room and two were Halkenburg's men who got feathered. It didn't make sense for the SM user to draw attention to their own ability, so it couldn't be the girl who brought it into the room, and Halkenburg's men looked like genuine newbs who had no idea why they were already awakened. This left the fourth secret Nen user: Longhi. The second to last batch ended with Longhi declaring herself as already being a Nen user to Kurapika so even a lot of fans thought she was the SM user and must've said some seriously fucking crazy shit to Kurapika to get him to make a deal with her, but it turns out that wasn't the case.So now Furykov doesn't know what's going on. He thinks the SM user must be in the room, but he doesn't think anyone could hide already knowing Nen from him (or Kurapika). Personally, I don't think the SM user ever needed to be in the room, I think the user attaches it to someone and they're the one who brings it places.
>>281905246It's also worth pointing out that only the person who SM has attached to can see it. Everyone else can only see the snakes. From the perspective of everyone in the room, Loberry or whatever her name was had her aura pores opened somehow, she yelled about someone being in the room, and this distraction allowed a bunch of snakes to attack someone else. The snakes are conjured by the assassin, but no one really gets what was going on with Loberry. She seems to have been manipulated somehow. Furykov and Kurapika probably think the snake-conjurer-assassin manipulated Loberry to speak some nonsense to distract everyone and that's why her pores were opened. When in reality, she wasn't manipulated or speaking nonsense at all, the assassin attaches a doll to someone and conjures the snakes through it. As the reader, we can see this, but the characters can't. Togashi has even let us hear the user's thoughts. They're trying to unravel a complex power with limited information.What I will say is that while I do enjoy stuff like this, Togashi doesn't usually allow his series to have that level of misinformation. Hunter x Hunter characters are notorious for always somehow being Sherlock Holmes tier deductionists. This is just maybe an example of that kind of confident big brain thinking backfiring on the characters.For example, if you existed in the Hunter x Hunter world, wouldn't you constantly be filled with doubts over whether you understood others' Nen abilities? You don't know what's going on. What if the SM user is actually two people: a guy who conjures snakes and a guy who can turn him invisible? No character will ever consider that possibility and Togashi only ever has characters offer it as a solution if he's thought of a semi-clever way of debunking it. But we see character logic fail all the time and it's hard to say if its the characters just not being as smart as they think they are or Togashi being an inconsistent writer.
>>281905246>>281905445It would ruin the fun of the audience solving the mystery if the premise becomes “oh the user wasn’t in the room”. No one would be able to pinpoint the exact person, in that case, which ruins one of the fundamentals of a good msystery.The user being outside the room would be some Nisioisin shit
>>281905758>>281905445>>281905246Continued. I agree that Togashi will have some “switcharoo” or “pull the curtains moment” with the mastery, but I think it’ll be that there’s a 5th nen user that Furykov couldn’t tell
>>2819052461.By the conventions of the mystery genre, the user has to be in the room.2.The user has an inner monologue when he notices Furykov's taunt, before activating the ability.3.The user is seeing everything that is happening in the room.4.The ability's condition is that the attack rebounds to him if it fails, so the user has to be right there. The user is 100% in the room.
>>281905246His king is out here dying of diarrhea to death and he still thinking about the SM user
>>281905758Indulging in all this internet shit for series "ruins the fun" sometimes, like the Linsworth reveal last batch.
>>281904594It's a bit weird how Hisoka went through all that trouble in York Shin arc to ensure a duel with Chrollo in an isolated space, only to then agree to this obvious set-up.
>Hisoka was already afraid of other troupe members interfering>that's exactly what happenskekaroo?
>>281905273Needs rape correction
>>281905806>>281906059I understand what you're saying, but you are aware the user was 100% NOT in the room during the original killings, right? Was it just "not a mystery" yet at that point?
>>281899988I'd love to hear the reasoning why it isn't Belerainte in everyone's mind already. The only thing that was wrong with him as a suspect before this batch was his motive as a random hunter who shouldn't care about the succession war didn't match with the motive for the killer. But after the Beyond and Pariston secret prince agenda reveal his motive as an agent of theirs fits with Silent Majority's behavior. He helps Kurapika keep the nen classes going sure, but that makes a lot of sense when you consider he's being given a perfect space to kill participants who might be potential Beyond sacrifices.
>>281906342This guy still might be Hisoka in disguise
If it wasn't for the speech patterns people brought up, I still think Oito would be a good option. Furykov hasn't seen her, and thus she would better be able to feign not being a Nen user. I don't expect it to be something like Beyond using the ability through her body or something either, since surely that would have been noticed by any Nen user.
H loves M
>>281906304Hissy-sissies? Our response?
>>281906238Because the troupe was just gonna gangbang him or get in the way in Yorknew. The locations don’t matter as long as Chrollo was alone and away form the troupe who would get in the way Past that , the heavens arena fight was a result of Chrollo accepting the 1v1, so Hisoka didn’t have to make any effort to keep Chrollo isolated when the troupe would leave them alone.
>>281906342Because Belseiante is too obvious is the only criticism I have for the choice. But it’s the most logical at this point.
>>281906238When you're horny you do stupid shit for a chance to get off, I chalk him agreeing to that fight up to being blue balled for far too long.
Hisokas still pissed about the fishing line thing
>>281906661Me on the right
>>281889473Because I've read this arc like 5 times already
Togashi has 2 options:>don't draw and just tell others what he plans to happen>pay to construct some sort of contraption where he can draw without his back being in pain (shouldn't cost him more than several thousand dollars)The fact that he chooses not to do either shows that he has writer's block for this arc.
>>281906661Hisoka wishes but she does look great in that hat
>>281907188Togashi is pretty old school. He still draws traditionally even though for the wide majority of people , once you get used to digital it’s much faster >but but not always Cope. There’s a reason most new mangaka are at minimum half digital.
>>281906380casino hisoka already has the inner monologue
What subgenre/backdrop would a hypothetical Gyro arc have? Hunter exam was classic adventure Shonen test, hevanes arena was classic battle Shonen, greed island was pseudo isekai video game rpg, Yorknew was Shonen crime thriller, CA was the alien invasion war, election arc was more light hearted political Shonen, succession war and DC we know.I can’t imagine where Togashi could go in a Gyro arc
>>281907532A proper war thriller arc, we got something like that in parts of the Chimera Arc but this time it would be human in nature. Even though Gyro is an ant now lol
Can someone explain why Togashi only follows the batch model? I feel like there’d be less pressure if he could just drop a chapter whenever he wants. Now everytime he wants to come back he has to finish almost a whole volume before any content. Togashi could finish up to 418 and then go on hiatus for 3 years, but because he didn’t do the last 2 we won’t get it until he comes back. I bet if Togashi could just shock drop chapters we’d have gotten a few during the 4 year hiatus.
>>281907590I agree. I also think we could get a kingdom building section Following Gyro. Kind of like what those isekai do except much better written.
>>281907634He could but he won’t. His back can only take so much work after all so better to work and release all at once than work and work and work a little at a time and then forget what you were writing.
>>281907634Probably he believes that reading the arc in a weekly/volume format, even if segmented, is better than any alternative structure. Gives a nice amount of new stuff to chew on while we wait for new chapters.
>>281907773It's probably also easier on him to draw a batch of chapters at once so he remembers all the plotlines and characters he's got going on.If you just drop a chapter every now and then they might lack coherence.
>>281907013...me on the left
It's pretty insane how useful the Zoldyck family poison immunity is in this series. In most other battle shonen poison is kind of rare but it's fucking everywhere in HxH. Even in the first arc of the story three different characters use poison. Ben's hours away from shitting his brains out because of poison that Illumi or Killua could casually tank without a problem.
>>281908759>Ben's hours away from shitting his brains out because of poison that Illumi or Killua could casually tank without a problem.The only one shitting himself is you with this retard post. Read the arc a hundred times and maybe you will understand why.
>>281908759Killua would not be able to survive every posion. That’s not even Togashi’s style of writing.
>>281908759>Illumi or Killua could casually tank without a problem.They wouldn't. It's not a poison, TSK-17 is a bioweapon
>>281906342Because the silent majority killer is the maid named Yuuri>Silent majority is a song by keyakizaka46>The center for this song is named Yurina Hirate>The design for the silent majority doll looks like her>The suspect name is Yuuri which is quite close to the idol name>Togashi was addicted with keyakizaka46 in this batch
>>281900982>Rice is currently possessed by a Halkenburg followerProbably not. >Kacho and Melody's Luzurus plot is actually bait to figure out KaiserMelody is not a keikaku type character>Illumi has a job to kill a named character on the boat besides HisokaMight be another prince>>281901505the first 2 answers were correct. just like rihan, he is trying to figure out the nen beast ability
>>281907532I wonder if the Gyro arc will be an in-between thing like the HA Chrollo/Hisoka fight or after DC is done.I could see it either being done while everyone is getting to the DC from the fake DC or after the DC arc itself is resolved.If it's after DC I could see Gyro using one of the calamities that might've been brought back.In any case I'd imagine that the chimera ant soldiers that have been teased by Ging could play a role here since I don't imagine they will be used in DC itself.
Still one of the best thrillers of all time
>>281878441any old old oooold fags can tell me if people used to make this sort of retarded posts when komugi was introduced in the manga?
>>2819104132005 is an ancient /a/, who could possibly still be around?

>>281910562Cheadle...
>>281910413I've been around since the end of the Netero vs Meruem hiatus and the threats only really started going to shit once we've got Alluka healing Gon and then Hisoka vs Chrollo, we never recovered from 'O my rubber nen'.You can see all the Hisoka v Chrollo faggotry in this threat too.
>>281909618I see the references, but I don't see how it's her. Yuri is a maid for Kacho, the same Kacho who immediately tried to wriggle out of the succession war not actually fight it. Silent Majority uses Kacho's other maid as the target for the ability which freaks her out and gets her thrown out of the room. So even if you skip Kacho and move up to her mother Seiko as the one who ordered the Silent Majority attacks it doesn't don't line up because the attacker undermines her daughter's personnel.
>>281910796She could be a plant from another prince, maybe she's even a cursed Beyond child too.

>>281877365You are too low IQ to understand the CA arc let alone the rest of the manga, so I am recommending you some books to gain a slight understanding.

>>281906342>he's being given a perfect space to kill participants who might be potential Beyond sacrificesNone of the princes have died to the curse yet so I'd say it isn't working out too well.>>281909700>Probably not.How do you explain the extra rumbling? Is that just inexplicable Nen nonsense? The characters in the story think Halkenburg did something when "Shikaku" killed himself and doing it after ringing the doorbell was to distract the room from whatever it was. The rumbling happens whenever he shoots an arrow.>Melody is not a keikaku type characterBut she's already botched one plan and this one's even more retarded. We pretty much know for certain Fugetsu wasn't attacked by Luzurus's GSB and Kacho's deduction that it was him was a little silly. Togashi also wrote the sequence in a strange way. He had Kacho explain her reasoning to Melody while she was in a cell, but then had the two of them bring the idea to Kaiser and when he agreed to do it, he drew a panel of both of them just staring at him silently. It would be very Togashi-like for him to have the first scene in a room without Kaiser because he wanted them to talk about something without him hearing it, then skipping the second half of the conversation so we don't realize they're actually plotting against him.
>>281878562nigga, read the manga, she is charismatic and leader of her friend group.
>>281912432She only came off as the leader to me because she happened to get into officer school, but I can accept that point. But she didn’t really come off as particularly charismatic
'99 Hisoka is so beautiful
>>281910413I didn't start reading Hunter x Hunter until right before the palace invasion so I can't speak on Komugi and I don't remember posting on /a/ until after the 2011 anime began (the Internet was full of anime fan forums back then and /a/ was vehemently anti-shounen). I do remember fans groaning about Welfin and Ikalgo, though.People are honestly saying a lot of stupid shit about this arc and it makes me wonder how accurate fans were back in the day at predicting the relevance of characters or length of arcs. I've never been interested in that stuff so I just ignore it, but I don't remember people saying shit like "these characters aren't important" or "the arc's close to wrapping up" and shit like that before. Like, ever. When Meruem was walking around dying of poison, people still didn't know when the arc was going to actually end. Nowadays it feels like everyone just knows somehow.What I can say is that every single batch of this arc has had a minority of anons saying, "We're finally reaching the climax of the arc," and, "Togashi has finished introducing all the characters, now it's time for shit to hit the fan!" And every single time. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. They've been wrong. I do wonder if it gets depressing, being consistently wrong batch after batch.
>>281878441it's super obvious that bork is going to use her nen ability to give her friends their own nen abilities especially after hearing morena's explanation.
>>281912463... she's charismatic for the fact that all her friends (also high ranking soldiers) all consider her to be their leader and depend on her so much that they basically forced her to come down to the lower levels to help them.
>>281912122SEX
>>281906826Do aussie really?
>>281912463If you define charisma as the ability to make others like you (or otherwise emotionally manipulate them to your ends), then how many Specialists in the manga are actually charismatic? Chrollo and Morena are. Perhaps Tserriednich is to people who don't actually know him, but the people who actually know him are terrified of him. Everyone fucking hates Neon and Meleoron's entire personality is about being perfectly ignorable. Leol has followers, but that's due to rank, Hina immediately forgets about him after he dies. Also, does anyone like Hina? Alluka is a cute kid, but everyone's trying to kill him. Does Pakunoda strike you as particularly charismatic? How about Renko? We see nothing to suggest Pitou has any real relationships with anyone. So how good are you feeling about this "charismatic" thing?You could describe charisma a different way, though. You could describe it as strictly popularity/likability, and if you do so, you'll find that studies find this is literally just extroversion. Are the Specialists in our story highly extroverted? Actually, most of them are, but not more than what's normal for the manga, and our biggest Specialist (Chrollo) is not.Hisoka doesn't know what he's talking about.
chrollo is a bum
>>281912122One of them a male
>>281912614But the reason Morena gave her Nen is because she's looking for a Specialist, and the reason she's looking for a Specialist is because she wants them to wish for an ability that a non-Specialist couldn't create, and Morena already has the ability to give other people abilities, so why would it be that?She also can't return to her friends without them shooting her. Those were the rules.
>>281912748pitou?
>>281912769i'm saying bork is going to give her friends abilities to help fight back, she isn't going to go along with whatever morena wants. and she already said she was going back.
>>281912776Y e shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwoPUt7r91Q
>>281912361My headcanon is that the extra rumbling is when the ability is dispelled since shikaku died. Seems like it's not the case since there is no rumbling when halkenburg's original body died
My headcanon that Pokkle is actually Meruem incarnations
>>281912905The rumbling also began before he died. Also, I wouldn't call the ability "dispelled." Both Sumidori and Shikaku were transferred to Sumidori's body, remember? When one body dies, the two souls end up sharing a body.

>>281914542Are there still people who even play the game?
>>281914347I mean Morena shaping up be the onevof the main antagonist of this arc. Anyone who downplays her and the Heil-Ly have genuinely shit low IQ reading comprehension
>>281915437Hei-ly have big snowball potential but I feel like Togashi might pull a "they were really out of their depth" situation
>>281915613I think most of them are completely out of their depth, but it only takes a few of them to do something for the effects to really be felt.Speaking of, I remember theorizing the idea that since Nobunaga only warned Phinks and Feitan regarding the LSDF guy, Terebellum’s ability is going to get one of the two killed, probably Phinks. Say, he gets ahold of Phinks, Feitan tries blitzing him, and he accidentally kills Phinks due to that.
>>281915613Morena literally got a Solo Cover only Chrollo and Meruem are other villains to get one. He literally spent 4 chapters on a card game with Morena. I'm sorry but anyone who thinks that Heil-Ly will jobbers or fodder are not to be taken seriously.
>>281915115Been out two months
bump
>>281915724Their teamwork is good. They did managed to stop Nobunaga from killing them all.
>>281912529Shit hitting the fan is the best SW meme
>>281914339I'm not saying she can't do that, I'm saying that flies in the face of what Morena wants. She can find another Specialist. True. But then why would she need Bork? She wouldn't. That was literally part of their conversation. If Morena's going to go look for a different Specialist to do the job for her, then she might as well just kill Bork. She doesn't need Bork's friends to have Nen abilities - these are her new friends.>>281914347It wasn't random, it's not up to you to say what does or doesn't matter, and the importance of the scene wouldn't change just because it was between different characters. If Gon was playing a game with Tserriednich, it would be equally as important, not more.If you think otherwise, you should just quit reading manga and pick up a different hobby. Maybe gardening or picking garbage up off the side of the road.

This isn't real life, it's a story and the author made a decision and effort to draw every single character and write every single line of dialogue.
>>281918125Killua is so beautiful
>>281918070I think Togashi said something about Marineford and people never let it go.
We hate Fart and Shartllua here

We don't care about new characters here.

>>281918327So cute
>>281918203>When did Hunter x Hunter fans become as dumb as every other fanbase? Even though I mostly agree with some of your posts, what’s with the “stick up my ass” responses. Hunter fans were barely above other fanbases. Most Hunter fans are battle Shonen fans who are fans of other battle Shonen. They’re not that elevated. At best they’re equal to generic seinenfags who think berserk, vagabond, and Vinland saga are the three greatest pieces of media The only “media group” with a genuinely elevated fanbase are probably litfags, and even they can be boring.
I want to know everything about herI want her to succeed, but everything is stack against her
>>281918655Is Togashi one of the only artists who can get away with just dropping his character however he wants any time they appear? There are artists who try to keep things as consistent as possible, meanwhile someone like Chrollo has like 15 variants scattered throughout his appearances

>>281919011Hunter threads only become great when chapters start coming out
>>281919011True, that’s mostly because they get drowned out when enough actual Hunter fans are here. In the current state of the board it’ll be interesting to see how chapter threads move
>>281919011wtf this is how I learned this artist is still doing these. I had the impression they deleted their account or something.
>>281918203>and had the characters acknowledge they were disposable pawnsThis fucker had the ability to make anything he wanted. He's a conjurer with so many options for abilities. And he chose the single dumbest ability across the entire series. It's not even close how bad "Fistful of Weapons" is. At least Luini had imagination along with being a serial killer with a specific goal. Padaille's death was a mercy kill if anything.
>>281919011That's rich coming from ship-spamming, shitposting clowntards.
>>281919093They were never great.
>>281919198I thought more of these infection-granted abilities would be stupid like his since they don't have to learn anything about nen to acquire them. Padaille's ability simply matched the form of his desire since it was granted instead of developed. But then everyone else's abilities were tactical. Even Dogman's incredibly specific ability had a purpose.
>>281919198The ability is so funny, Conjurer’s suck at close combat, and it’s just another version of a jobber character from YYH. Honestly, I bet it could have had some actual use, having a bunch of tools on hand could very much be useful, but he wasn’t the right guy to make the best use out of it.
>>281919332theyre ok
>>281919136That's pretty cool, ngl.Update when?
Hate pigeons. Bats would have fitted Hinrigh more.
>>281919136Yeah the only thing they're missing is compiling the last batch into a single image. I think they wait until the next batch is announced before doing that, because they didn't do it for the last batch until September of last year.>>281919250I have not once mentioned a ship, I feel absolutely nothing for shipping. None of my posts were shitposts, they were all me talking about the series. I'm not a characterfag, I'm a Hunter x Hunter fan.You're mad that I posted fanart for 405, from someone who does fanart for every single chapter?
>>281914339Bork is most likely going to Theta then.She hates Morena’s group and needs a nen expert she can trust to help develop her powers.
>>281912529I feel like I’m taking crazy pills every time I see someone saying they think the arc will end in 30-50 chapters. Nothing points to that outside of people overestimating martial laws place in the plot and Togashi’s ambiguous Twitter posts.
>>281919629I think walking around with a bunch of bats following you would be a little too conspicuous, anon.>>281919755People have been saying it since they got on the boat. I honestly don't know how you can think this chapter is ending before 500 and I think even that's generous. This arc has more going on than the Chimera Ant Arc did and it didn't really begin until 50 chapters ago.
>>281919438>bet it could have had some actual use, having a bunch of tools on hand could very much be useful, but he wasn’t the right guy to make the best use out of it.The power still sucks because he's just conjuring normal tools with no quirks or extra powers added to it. We got told this early on by Izunavi but conjurers doing this is just a waste. What I would do with this power is create a fixed number of weapons and give each one a specific ability. Sort of like a bootleg version of Kite's crazy slots but without the RNG and obviously less powerful. So say the Axe can use the blood it draws to heal my own wounds faster. Or the hammer's weight increases the more it's swung. >>281919417It helps that we see that Morena is still actively coaching them on appropriate abilities. But I do hope that we see another dumb power from at least one other member. It is overall good that they are at least competent on their group synergy because that makes them dangerous in a way the Chimera Ants weren't despite also manifesting abilities almost overnight in some cases. Really looking forward to what the Pigeon-hater crew will do now that they are all levelled up. They already had powers before but I wanna see if their confidence is justified.
>>281919851>chimera ant True, but Togashi purposefully took slow pacing to emphasize every moment in the chimera ant arc. He could easily have faster pacing this time around, there’s too many characters for palace invasion pacing.

>>281919655You said nothing about the overwhelming clownshit and machi spam, and you posted the clown.
>>281920319NTA But The clown is the most popular character in the current arc. He’s technically the MC when you think about it.
>>281920355you wish, clownshit.
>>281920355>He’s technically the MC when you think about it.Main plot SW's MC is Kurapika.Secondary plot's MC is Hisoka.
>>281920319I hate shipping in general, little boys were just on my mind because someone was actively posting them. I just posted the first Kaymon art I found.
>>281920355Hisoka is the wildcard. Nobuanga is the main character of the lower towers. Kurapika the main character of the higher tiers.
>>281919851You do realize if the arc ends at chapter 500, it would take around another 10 years, 21 years total, for this arc to finish? Togashi’s self aware enough to know that’s insane. In that scenario , He might as well quit now because he probably won’t finish anyways….
>>281920796Why does he have to finish? Why would you rather have 0 chapters than an incomplete arc?
>>281919752Nope she'll join Morena to sabotage her from inside. Also people overrate the spy angle to much. If Martial Law wasn't in play I'll definitely think she'll killed Borksen.
>>281918248I don't know what that's about but I do remember him being asked a question about "Why are there so many characters in this arc" and he responded with "One Piece has a lot of characters"
>>281921281I really hope this doesn’t happen, but I fear it might because of its predictability.I hope Morena can read mind, But I guess the betrayal angle makes her ability more powerful?Kill them All Morena, or face the angel of death, Kurapica. He has the power to save her.
