More Chrollo and more of Kurapika trying to kill him please. This bodyguard bullshit again is boring now let him have his fun Togashi.
They will have a temporary alliance on the ship.
>>282050180Gay
No i’m tired of Kurapika’s endless pointless revenge. Even if he does nothing the clown and King Crimson prince will make sure they get what they deserve.
>>282050356Hisoka is a hero
>>282050093Hisoka will marry Machi
Could Togashi not have written an arc about Kurapika that didn't involve him being the body guard of some upperclass person?
>>282051627he's a bum
>>282051639sybau
>>282051652you aint hip uncle
>>282050093I think we will see Halkenburg dying because we know he successfully poisoned Benjamin, and it happened off screen. Or maybe Benjamin forces Tubeppa to make a vaccine for his sickness. This was already speculated however, I want to see Fuu, Tse, and Bork pov of story.
If Chrollo does die I wonder if it’s going to be portrayed like Meruem’s death, like it’s something to be sad over. But I really can’t tell if he or Kurapika is going to have that moment.
it seems that he's currently indisposed so I'll make the honours for himahem...Hunter x Hunter is over
Hunter x hunter is over
>>282050093Kurapika will marry Bork-sen

>>282050093Kurapika hasn't mentioned the spiders in forever, I'm not sure he gives a shit about them anymore. Also, Kurapika is one of those characters Togashi loves to write as a placid know-it-all, so if Mizai or someone told him the Troupe was on the ship, he'd be like>I know already of course. The Phantom Troupe are A-class thieves capable of infiltrating any establishment they set their eyes on and they only ever get caught by their pursuers when they want to in order to draw out bigger targets. On such a large ship teeming with civilians of every class and a corrupt royal family with strong ties to the mafia, it wouldn't be difficult at all for the spider, or any skilled Nen users honestly, to stow away somewhere. And with thievery being their primary interest, the ship would be particularly enticing, as one of the world's most visible and richest families would be on board, and not exactly hiding either. (Well, until martial law was declared)>I'm sorry, was that not obvious?And then Mizai would have a sweatdrop and be like "s-sugoi..!"
>>282056677I agree. And that’s one of my main gripes with the arc. Not the character writing or smartness, but that fucking large text box you wrote is exactly Togashi. He, for some reason, feels everyone’s personal reasoning needs to be explained in the most meticulous , repetitive way. That Kurapika text you wrote could just be >I know already of course. They’re A class theives and this is the perfect opportunity for them!And the same idea would get across, but no, Togashi has to go through some repetitive “here’s every detail, even the most obvious, even ones we already know, that led to this decision”
>>282051596I think of Machi abs
>>282056878That's not this arc, that's the entire manga. That's just how Togashi writes. It's also an inextricable part of why Nen is considered such a good power system. Nen is similar to a lot of power systems but the biggest difference is those other systems are written by authors who'll just let the reader come to their own conclusions. Togashi doesn't do that and more critical readers respect him for that. If you look at a series like Naruto, Kishimoto doesn't explain shit he just has characters do whatever and most readers just accept that, like, "Okay, if you say so."
>>282058016Yes it’s in the whole manga, but it’s tenfold this arc and it would be disingenuous to suggest otherwise. Go recheck Yorknew. Outside of Chrollo using neons ability this kind of text doesn’t come up often.
>>282058016I suggested you read Kishimoto’s brother work
>>282058727I read 666 Satan, it wasn't as good as Naruto. And Naruto isn't as good as Hunter x Hunter.
>>282059462Even HxH wasn’t good as YYH?
>>282059627Hunter x Hunter is way, way better than YuYu Hakusho. YYH is mid as Hell. Togashi just made shit up as he went and half the fights and plot twists are treated like jokes. I think he'd tell you himself he didn't know what he was doing back then.
make a re-reading thread of the boat arcwe have an excuse now
>>282059799No one is here until Shonen jump announces an exact comeback date.
hxh threads keep dying early and I'm losing motivation to post
>>282060794Keep going my beloved pitou anon. One day Togashi sensei will be back for good and finish this arc
>>282060794Then don’t post. There’s no reason to post until we get confirmation we’re getting chapters.
>>282061117It would be more surprising if chapters announcement doesn't happen soon. Boruto Kaisen stole the hype
>>282060794Post paw feet
>>282060794Are you the same Pitou poster from 2016? Wtf is going on in your life?
>>282061117How long?
>>282061966
>>282061997>THEE Pitou posterThere was more than 1 you know just like there's now a bunch of different mchi posters
>>282062174
>>282062639We get that you want to SNIFF Pitou
>>282058016You are conflating explaining a power system with character dialogue and inner monologues. You can do one without the other and Togashi was better at it. Manga is a visiual medium like film, it's called show don't tell and when Togashi could draw he was obviously better at it. He didn't have to explain every single train of thought that was going through a characters mind because an image of a character being silent and pondering their next move is a lot engaging and if done well you understand what they are thinking about through the context of the previous pages or the ones after them. Togashi can't draw so he feels the need to make up with it with blocks of text but even good writers know that you can't do that either. You are right that this has become more of his "style" and its sadly a downgrade.
>>282063159I agree with you that it’s a downgrade, but I don’t think Togashi does it because he can’t draw anymore.I think he does it because- probably through misjudging certain things- he thinks that because the arc is about “quie/secret assassinations” and “complex plans”, the best way to explain things efficiently is through just having the characters monologue about their plans and others plans. There’s also an element of Togahsi probably thinking “if I don’t explain this to a T, some of these retards won’t get it”, and it just ends up being painful It also tends to make a lot of these internal voices “seem the same”, because everyone is thinking of everything and internal monologuing like Togashi probably does.I mean, come on, look at the page. Yes, Togashi wants to show that Kurapika himself is aware of the balance between the mafias and Benjamin’s strength, but there’s much more interesting ways to go about it or write it.
I don't like Morena
>>282056878It's not EVERY character but there are a lot of them
>>282063516>>282063159My only hope is that as the arc breaks down we get less of this type of specific text writing. Togashi has proven that he can still do his old style with the Kacho/Fugetsu chapter, the troupe/Nobunaga chapters, the Tsneednich chapters, and the Halk chapter.It’s a miracle the Halkenburg awakening chapter wasn’t bogged down with Halkenburg analyzing for paragraphs about Nasubi’s room, likely actions, and his guards potential responses. Instead we got classic Togashi. So he can still do it. I believe.
>>282063159This makes me wonder. Does Togashi’s editor have any power at this point?
>>282063159The plot was also a lot more simplistic back then tbf and there also weren't as many big questions about nen mechanics with it still being a new thing. I swear at least 2/3rds of these giant text explanations are spent on explaining or pondering nen ability mechanics
>>282050093Recently watched the greed island arc in HunterxHunter and I have some questions:>Why did the Phantom troupe ask Hisoka to talk with the "nen remover"? Why couldnt they do it themselves?>What was the point of the save data Gon used? What did it even do? Was it just that one message at the start?
hope Togashi drops the silent majority and Melody/Kacho plots
>>282063159>You are conflating explaining a power system with character dialogue and inner monologuesNo I'm not. I explicitly said "also." I'm not reading your post until you read mine.
>>282064343>>Why did the Phantom troupe ask Hisoka to talk with the "nen remover"? Why couldnt they do it themselves?They might have but there wasn't really a point in it since they didn't know where Chrollo was. Chrollo was working with Hisoka so it made more sense to have him handle everything.>>What was the point of the save data Gon used? What did it even do? Was it just that one message at the start?Yup.
>>282064611its okay you are boring and not needed for this discussion
>>282064864>>282064611I ship these two anon <3
>>282050356It would be so lame if Kurapika never got to use his strongest abilities because he decided to stop hunting Spiders.
>>282064911It's only one ability and Togashi basically gave him another ability that does the same thing anyway.
>>282063563Fact.
>>282063563You’re a misogynist
>>282063563She can indoctrinate me by kissing my cock head
>>282065093>>282065073>>282065124Help me anonsI found her mysandrist motivations very boring comparing to previous arc villains.
>>282065188She's fine, I'm not considering her the main antagonist anywayI want to see what is Tseri up to
>>282063516>there’s much more interesting ways to go about it or write it.I really don't think there is. At least, not in such a compressed manner. You guys are all being overly harsh when it comes to narration. The problem with the current arc is there's a huge amount of backstory and characters to introduce and the best way to do so is through narration.
>>282064343Chrollo's heart would get squishied if anyone else tried to talk to with him and someone had to bring the nen exorcist to Chrollo. The funnier part of Greed Island is knowing that Genthru would have gotten completely fucked by Hisoka and the entire troupe had Gons team not brought him down first
>>282065188Well thankfully she's not the only villain of the arc, there's quite a few of those and I'm not sure there's any 1 person who you could call The Main Villain of this arc
>>282066261I think Nasubi is lowkey playing in a different playing field. I don’t think he’ll be caught off guard by the troupe or Kurapika trying to fuck up the ceremony, I don’t think he’ll be caught off guard by the mafia war or Morena’s cult, or Benjamin’s martial law.I think he’ll be caught off guard by Beyond cucking him
>>282066343Yeah I also have a hard time seeing how the troupe will try to do deal with ancient 1000 years old ritual nen with their ragtag 15 years of grudge nen, especially when they aren't even really working together
Honest question: do we think they are going to ever reach the dark continent? I don't
>>282066696I mean, no. I don’t think the arc is ending in 50 chapters, and I don’t think Togashi will sustain any form of 10 chapters a year. I think we’ll finish the Succession war in a decade and Togashi will be like 70 wearing a diaper and decides to retire.I dont even think he’ll make some rushed ending. I think we’ll get a batch one year, then Togashi never comes back or posts on social media, until like a decade later we get a death announcement.
>>282050093I dont think Kurapika even cares about the spiders anymore. All he cares about is Tser's eye collection.
>>282066752nicethanks anonall of what you said is probably truebut still - fuck you
>>282066752Oh, I'm not even putting Togashi's health in consideration.For me, narrative-wise, it makes very little sense that they'll go into the Dark Continent.
>>282050093Just what is Chollo to Kurapika? His brother? His father? His rapist?
>>282067002Friends
>>282067021Rapist, then.
>>282067002They’re religious adversaries. Kurapika is a unorthodox Christian and Chrollo’s a Muslim
>>282066696
Let's make some noise hunterchads
>>282060794There is fuck all to talk about.
>>282067997you are a pedo.
>>282050093>mfw the reveal is nobody died for good and it's part of some system to fuel their souls into a machine or some shit because some of their abilities are all about out of body existing
>>282050093They introduced so many plot points and factions at once in this arc.
>>282066343>I think he’ll be caught off guard by Beyond cucking himi think he's a willing cuck but in secret. he knows that his wives are cucking him but doesn't intervene and simply pretends not to know.the ceremony participants being the issue of the legal wives of the king makes me think this way. perhaps it has been going on for generations if the rules have not been changed this ceremony.the spiders will surprise him with their hyper-competency as nen users and them ending the war quickly.
>>282066696the ship will sink and they'll discover the Dark Caves which are even more dangerous.
>>282068668The spiders won’t surprise him. Half of them are worried about Hisoka. The other quarter are worried about the mafia. Nasubi has been using nen for 30 years at this point, and as we can see from his children’s talent, is potentially busted himself. He has the weight of a whole nation protecting his treasures.I think Chrollo is in for a rude awakening
>>282068555Thanks berjitabro
>>282056878I've mostly enjoyed this arc but I'm with you on that. Between that and the hiatuses I'm ready for the arc to spark into a big conflagration and fucking end already. Most of the new characters (though realized well-enough) aren't exactly personalities I'm attached to, and I find it hard to believe much of anybody else is either.Even on /a/ much of the conversation has revolved around the Spiders and Hisoka.
>>282068593Big if true but I don't see how they'd get their body back if died from the poison like Halk or Benjamin is probably going to. AFAIK Benjamins GSB hasn't done anything yet so he might not even actually die but even Meruem proved that strong nen cannot tank deadly poisons well.
>>282066989I was going to write a wall of text but I know nobody's going to read it, so my tl;dr is>Togashi spent 10 chapters setting up the arc, writing new characters and making it Ging's dream, so the Beyond team is going 100%>Togashi didn't need to include the Zodiacs and the Hunter Association, the arc could've began with Kurapika himself discovering the expedition and getting on the ship the same exact way: by applying to be Woble's bodyguard>if the Zodiacs aren't here for the DC, then they must be here for the SC, except they aren't doing shit because the entire thing's a game of thrones with most things happening in secrecy and it's none of their businessSo no, both groups are making it to the Dark Continent. Narrative-wise, the Zodiacs don't need to be here if they're not going, and Beyond's group doesn't even need to exist if they're not going. And if they're going, we're going.
>>282068946That’s where your mistaken about the zodiacs. The succession war will spill past the boundaries of the royal tier 1. It’s already started with martial law, but it will go even further when Morena’s crew and the troupe make it to the higher tiers. It’s the zodiacs job to keep control, as assigned by V5.
>King cannot die unless the game is doneAre all the princes supposed to go in the coffins or 13 princes and the current king or what?
Current arc needs more zodiacs and more zoldycks
>>282068813>Nasubi has been using nen for 30 years at this pointhe is a fat hedonistic fuck. does he train Ten and Ren daily? doubt it.>and as we can see from his children’s talent, is potentially busted himself.i'll grant you this point even though the only busted child is Tserri. Ben is a hard worker and Cammy's ability depends on the the limitations being so fucking high.>He has the weight of a whole nation protecting his treasures.the troupe went against the mafia easily.>I think Chrollo is in for a rude awakeninghe has Hisoka to worry about and if he meets Kurapika by himself accidentally, it's over for him.
>>282068877I don't know what you're talking about, anons like Bill, Hinrigh, Wang, Morena, Bork, Tserriednich, Halkenburg and the twins. There are also some people who like Furykov, Babymina, Benjamin, Oito, Beyond, Camilla and the spider fanboy whose name I forget. The palace invasion is considered the peak of Hunter x Hunter's popularity, but it's full of characters most fans aren't that attached to - and there's a good reason for it: Togashi kills off characters at the drop of a hat. What makes it so entertaining is watching him set up dominos and seeing how they end up falling into each other. A lot of people forget that the average fan didn't like the Chimera Ant Arc all that much until the palace invasion. It took forever to get there and sometimes it felt like nothing important was happening. This current arc is like 40% larger than the Chimera Ant Arc in terms of plotlines and we're not at "the palace invasion" yet. No, martial law isn't it.
>>282069106I dislike how the Zoldycks get hamfisted into every arc personally, but two of them are already on the boat so maybe they'll do something. Personally, I think the two of them are going to the Dark Continent. I have two pretty big reasons to suspect that. So maybe they'll just shower together until the boat stops.>>282069142>the only busted child is TserriI mean, Halkenburg awakened a Nen ability on the spot. That's pretty good.
I find it funny that this explains King Crimson better than Part 5 did.
>>282069265was it his own nen ability or his beast's?
>>282069265>I dislike how the Zoldycks get hamfisted into every arc personallyI thought the brief appearance at the chimera ant battle was sweet
>>282063159> ugh ugh show dont tell ugh ughIs this the worst meme of the last five decades?A bunch of low IQ shonenspics who have never even picked up a book just parroting three words and pretending to be critics without even understanding what they mean, or where they come from.The characters are expressing their inner thoughts with a bias based on how that character is. It's not Togashi telling you what they think, how they're wrong, and what's wrong about it. You should be paying attention to exactly WHO is telling you what they think instead of just screaming like a retard "DUUUUUR SHOW DON'T TELL" because there's words on the page. Rihan didn't even get asses the situation because his ability is a linchpin in Benjamin's counter guardian beast operations, and since Rihan by nature of his ability has to stay disconnected from the normal flow of information and make his own assumptions. What he thinks is important and if he makes a mistake not only is death pretty much guaranteed, but even if he doesn't die he's out of the game for 48 hours and that's a window Benjamin cannot afford.>Togashi can't draw He literally drew the best looking manga fight of the 2010s before getting into the political espionage, you dumb ass monkey.
>>282069191>anons like Bill, Hinrigh, Wang, Morena, Bork, Tserriednich, Halkenburg and the twins.I do too to an extent (Tserriednich is a good villain; the rest largely disposable) but there isn't that much meat on the bone. I might feel differently when the arc is over, but I doubt it.
>>282068877>Most of the new characters (though realized well-enough) aren't exactly personalities I'm attached to, and I find it hard to believe much of anybody else is either.That's untrue. It's been proved through many threads before that some new characters introduced in this arc are very popular : Camilla, Tserriednich, Morena, Theta, Borksen, Lynch, Hinrigh, Dogman, Rihan... etc
>>282069406Memes aren't the same as actual investment, but sure, point taken I guess. Long live Rihan.
How much longer until ging gets involved?
>>282063516>"Less text = more interesting"Your premise is flawed , few manga are bold enough to break new ground with their approach to text density, this is the most interesting direction for the arc. Everyone knows, yes, HxH is the most dialogue heavy manga series ever made, which is what sets it apart. HxH is much more wordy than any other manga, as it should be. Hell it's even more wordy than Bakemonogatari's manga.
>>282069500Will we ever see Gyro again?
>>282069472Yes people like side characters like Rihan who show actual intelligence and agency and HxH track record shows that they can impact the plot more than main characters (Pakunoda, Welfin, etc). That's literally HxH trademark and what sets apart the best arcs... why else are you reading it exactly?
>>28206905013 princes and the current king. Would make sense for a death ritual to allow the current king to live alongside his successor
>>282069406They'll be more well liked if they ever get an anime
>>282069342His own, made OP by his beast's.
>>282069584Wouldn’t *
>>282069532After the succession war or after the DC. Which basically means, never.
Most of the arc complaints are just an extension of people being fed up with waiting. Go look at old forums, or take my word for it, People complained during the CA arc a lot too. People didn’t realize what they were reading until the arc was over and we could read over.And, 2011 helped a shit ton. I remember some people being pissed about the Youpi fight chapters because of the pacing lol.All I’m saying is that if Togashi was dropping 20 chapters a year there’d be a whole lot less complaining. People would have less time to stew on negatives, get angry they can’t see payoff, etc
>>282069500>death note was an exceptionally wordy shonen manga>gets named during this arcsasuga togash
Ging and Paris hilton are also on the boat they just don't feel like doing anything.
>>282069750I love Shizuku so much ;_;
>>282069755I’d bet money Paris is either behind Kaizer or silent majority
>>282069740If Togashi was dropping 20 chapters a year we would’ve finished Hunter like 2-3 years ago
>>282069782Kuroro gets the bestgirls
>>282069755IIRC Beyond's team is on anther boat
What would the fanbases reaction be if the arc doesn’t end in the next 50 chapters and it’s still unclear how much chapters are left?
>>282069868No reaction just a general sadness
>>282069604wut
I'm kinda curious to see if Leorio will end up doing something in this arc
>>282069740>People complained during the CA arc a lot too.Rightfully so, to an extent. I'm still not in love with some of the narrative decisions/pacing in the CA arc. Being able to read the arc in full uninterrupted makes it easier to digest and gloss over, but it also makes some of it more conspicuous than it had been.>>282069868For that to be the case Togashi would need to introduce even more new characters than he already has or the fights are a lot more long-winded than people are expecting. I actually think this arc is going to end up somewhat shorter than people are anticipating, even if it means some of the plot threads get suspended.
>>282069868but shit has already hit the fan. unless he intends to show what every group of characters were doing when shit started
Since the troupe don't even care about Kurapika anymore don't Pakunoda did for basically nothing?
>>282070042Well, now they don't. But if she hasn't sacrificed herself, wouldn't most of them (if not all) be dead?I don't remember. Honest question here.
>>282070010Not really. More than half of the princes are still alive, they’re 2 weeks on their journey. I genuinely can’t think of a way this arc is under 60 chapters . The 50 chapters thing just sounds like cope from DC enthusiastic
>>282069868If the next 50 chapters are good then I doubt people would mind if the arc is still ongoing
>>282070328Poor Chrollo. I know the sentiment ;_;
>>282070130Ben's 4 princes left in the latest chapter is excluding Zhang lei and Lazurus?
>>282064343>>282064832The troupe needed a third party (Hisoka) to take the nen exorcist to Chrollo because one of the conditions that Kurapika placed upon him was that if he ever had any contact with a troupe member, he would die.
>>282069909After Halkenburg failed at killing his father and himself, he developed a Hatsu of his own (said to be granted by his GSB).Halkenburg's Guardian Spirit Beast is a Symbiotic-type Enhancer. His GSB can gather Halkenburg's supporters aura in a big amount of nen.The arrow ability is Halkenburg's own ability. His GSB grants him a huge amount of aura when he uses his ability when his supporters are by his side. His attack is unstoppable and Halkenburg is speculated to be invincible during casting it.
Once Togashi posts about 419, then 420 next week, he will announce the next 10 chapters for November. Believe it
What is this?
>>282070602
>>282070493huhi never tried to understand his ability and just assumed Togashi will elaborate on it later.it's too fucking complicated or the translation is shitty and i'm not trusting what you're saying because you might be a Halkfag.
Halkenburg is the highlight of this arc to me so far
>>282070583>Believe iti will NOT.i fell for it the last time and was completely buck broken. even now i'm still suffering from hopium dose. never again.
>>282070602Now that we know Wang has secret ties with Morena, this scene makes more sense.
>>282070699i knew it, Halkfaggot.he had to sacrifice his body to kill Ben. he won't survive a second time.
>>282050093has he even ever gotten a 2nd fight against a spider?
>>282070758I'm not the other anon but just wait Halkenburg will do some damage
>>282070583Togashi is gonna post > “421 backgrounds designation done”And confirm we’re getting a 20 chapter batch
A reminder Shizuku will die trying to take the treasures from Nasubi.
>>282070800>I'm not the other anonof course you're not him.
>>282070835Reminder that those fortunes only applied to that one month in Yorknew and are no longer valid.
>>282070835Either that, or Tserriendich private room >but but neons fortunes don’t matter anymore No one said it did fagget. Togashi is clearly using it as “divine coincidence” for tragic irony. That’s why Shalnark died exactly as his fortune said.
>>282070900>exactly
If shizuku dies I die
>>282070662I'm not. I don't like Halkenburg at all and even less since he killed Shikaku. Halkenburg's ability is explained mainly in chapters 382 and 404. Togashi if he does, will elaborate on what remains unexplained about his ability when we see what happened to his and Balsamilco's soul.
The arc will end in 50 chapters .Togashi published Kurpaika’s flashback at the start of the saga (340-341)Togashi published the Troupe flashback 55 chapters later.(395)What’s 395 plus 55? 450. The arc will end at 450, and the last 10 chapters will be the epilogue of it all.
>>282071083Thanks numerology anon
>>282069339Not really because it doesn't function the same as King Crimson. As far as we actually understand King Crimson, that is. Araki is notorious for just changing how abilities work on the fly and there's no single explanation of King Crimson that satisfies every scene while also satisfying the reader.There's still some unanswered questions for this ability as well. It's never said that he has to stand still to use his ability, just that he has to enter Zetsu and close his eyes. What if he does it while running? Will the precognition show him stop and stand still, or will it show him continue to run, or will it show him acting in the way he would have had he not used his ability?
>>282069339Can’t believe people think Morena, Nasubi, Halkenburg, Benjamin, or Beyond take priority over him.He’ll be king and Kurapika will be forced to become a criminal to murder him for the eyes
>>282070884I don't believe that. That information came from Neon who didn't even realize she had a Nen ability. Taking anything she said about her ability she barely understood as hard fact is dubious when Shalnark died in accordance with his fortune several arcs after he received it. Togashi clearly wants Lovely Ghostwriter to stick in readers minds, it's come up twice in this arc alone. Once when Shalnark dies and a second time more explicitly when Shizuku asks Chrollo to use it. You could argue this is just a logical basis for the Troupe to cover but I don't think that's all it is to it. This is the author telling readers to remember that this ability was used before and that the previous fortunes are very much still on the table.
>>282070829It would be a shitstorm if there was no break announcement at the end of chapter 420, I think even hunterchad posting would be revived
>>282071210It’s dramatic irony. They’ll die the way of their fortunes not because of nen or Neons ability still working, but because Togashi finds it an interesting conclusion for their characters. You can argue “what’s the difference”But the difference is that there’s no nen shenanigans going on with the deaths, it’s Togashi using dramatic irony
>was a 16 year old zoomer when Hisochad humiliated Spicllo>halfway to being a 30 year old wizard now Togashi's pace is bleak
>>282069342Kevin is his own ability which he didn't make but was simply granted to him, same as Tserriednich's not-King Crimson and Biscuit's loli mode. However, it works with his GSB's ability as a condition, so if he loses his GSB he no longer has a Nen ability.>>282069352It's a cool scene, it's just that retrospect it feels like shitty worldbuilding that the Troupe and Zoldycks have to make an appearance in every single arc. At first, it feels like contrived writing, but then you realize it's more of a worldbuilding mistake because it's not just that they keep showing up, it's that there's no one else who even could show up. Anytime the Troupe or Zoldycks do something awesome, everyone's reaction is like, "Yup, makes sense since it's them." Togashi could like, y'know, come up with other characters to do those things instead. Remember when Kurapika said he wanted to be a blacklist hunter and he was told the Troupe were A-rank criminals? That gives the impression there are other criminals, you know? But it really doesn't feel like it. People hate Genthru but at least he was just some dude, in a giant world which should logically be filled with "some dudes" yet isn't for some reason. It's cool when Netero shows up with Morel and Knov in the Chimera Ant Arc, 'cause it's like, "Oh, cool, strong character we haven't met before," but then Togashi just can't help himself and has Morel be one of the bigger candidates in the election AND he's the dude taking the Zodiacs to the Dark Continent. And the election was basically the Zodiacs, characters we know like Morel and Biscuit, and then a handful of some dudes, and it's like, "Oh cool, maybe they'll do something one day," but no, Togashi has Hisoka off half of them.The Hunter x Hunter world is surprisingly small and Nen users die like flies. Where do they keep coming from?
>>282071210>I don't believe that. That information came from Neon who didn't even realize she had a Nen ability.No, that information came from trial and error. It's pretty easy to see that each verse always corresponds to what's happening in the following weeks. It's been over a year since Yorknew, the fortunes are no longer valid.
Who'd win the Phantom Troupe group orgy?
>>282070091I don't think so. Kurapika seems to have given up on revenge.
>>282068819>>282068555How loli Bulma doing?
>>282069404>>282069472Out of fear of sounding like a smoothbrain, what characters in the past did you have actual investment in? I remember reading the Chimera Ant Arc while it was coming out and I've watched a lot of people on YouTube react to the 2011 anime, and most people in my experience didn't actually care all that much for most of the characters. People didn't like Shoot or Youpi until they were dying. People only like Knov and Meleoron for their abilities. People hated Welfin and were so fucking confused why he shows up right before the invasion just to drag shit out. People groaned in frustration whenever it was an Ikalgo chapter, but anime watchers liked him more. Hina, Bizeff and Brovuda were not considered actual characters. People's only interest in Pitou was in wanting to fuck her or wanting to see Gon destroy her (one group got their wish). Nobody likes Palm. Nobody flinched when Cheetu got squashed.I dunno, when I compare that to the current arc, it sounds pretty similar, with the one caveat being we're no where even close to finished with the current arc. How invested were you in the Chimera Ant Arc before the palace invasion? Most people thought it was slow-going. I remember people complaining about Meruem just playing gungi with a blind girl and Killua's triangulation scene being ripped off from Naruto. I remember people spamming that Nobunaga or Kurapika would show up at the last minute. I don't think anyone thought they'd be crying over Meruem's death or shocked at Gon's breakdown.
>>282071605Just because doesn't actively seek them out doesn't mean he's going to ignore them if they show up right in front of him.
>>282069740>fed up with waitingI never understand these comments, like when anons tell me I'm stupid for "waiting" for the next chapter. What do they mean by "waiting"? Do they read manga by reading the latest chapter, then sitting in their computer chair shitting their pants until the next one comes out? You can have more than one hobby. You can read more than one manga. So what exactly is this "waiting" that they can't stand?Are people tired of "waiting" for The Winds of Winter? They read the last book in 2011 and, when the next book comes out, they'll read it. Is it out yet? No? Okay. They go on with their lives. Where's the problem?
>>282071505I solo Shizuku and Machi
>>282071427>The Hunter x Hunter world is surprisingly smallIf the Hunter x Hunter world is that small how would one explain the Zodiacs nowhere to be seen during the Chimera Ants ?
>>282051596Oh shit.
>>282071791>Autist doesn't understand basic human emotionskek
>>282071791You’re autistic, and that’s fine. But that’s where the disconnect comes from.
>>282069868We're going to find out in 10 years when Chapter 460 comes out and the arc isn't anywhere close to ending. People who think the arc is closing in on its climax or something clearly haven't read Yorknew or CA. Can you imagine their comments during those arcs? I would love to see their faces when Uvo breaks free, when Zeno and Silva don't kill Chrollo, when Gon and Killua get caught by Chrollo, when Kite gets jumped by Pitou, when Gon and Killua fail to beat Knuckle and Shoot, when the King survives the nuke.There's this weird malady that poisons all battle shounen threads and it's this idea that, for some reason, stories can't be enjoyed until they're over, like the reason they opened the book was to read the last page, because somehow THAT'S the part that makes the whole thing good or bad. Not only is that complete nonsense, but Togashi himself explicitly has a character state the exact opposite, when Ging tells Gon to enjoy the detours. These anons probably skipped that scene.
>>282071984>enjoy the detours>20 chapters in 7 yearsWhile, that’s so much detours to enjoy!
>>282071791I don't know how to explain emotions to you, bud.
>>282072027>whiledo you mean "wow"? Stop phoneposting. "Enjoy the detours" literally means "go outside and do something else that isn't consuming my fucking manga, gaijin".
>>282072070>it means [headcanon headcanon headcanon]k
>>282071984>but Togashi himself explicitly has a character state the exact opposite, when Ging tells Gon to enjoy the detoursbeautifully put, anon
>>282071791So if you paid for a burger, and they only served you half of it and said come back 10 years for the other half, you'd be okay with that?
>>282071427>Morel be one of the bigger candidates in the election AND he's the dude taking the Zodiacs to the Dark ContinentAt least he was introduced as The SEA Hunter and they're dealing with the SEA in this arc>worldbuilding mistakeI think there's simply not enough arcs that would allow other characters to get their foot in the door, lot of Binolt / Bobobo tier criminals out there and they had no place butting in during the palace invasion
>>282072070enjoy the detours means>some rubbish you made up Meanwhile you’re just a Cocksucker who just gives Togashi an excuse to be a lazy bum.Let me guess, if Togashi doesn’t drop any more chapters for 15 years , you’d go >the detours the detours the detours enjoy the detours !Because you’re an autist
>>282071791remember that the something you've been wanting for years is still not there and won't be there for a bunch of more years feels like shut, anon.you have to check on it in order to know if it was released yet so you are forced to remember it.i do forget some things and they get out of mind entirely for months or years at a time but the things i really like keep coming back and it feels like shit.
>>282070042They don't care about Kurapika anymore BECAUSE Pakunoda died. Do you not remember why she killed herself? She said, "Let this end with me."
>>282072170remembering*shit*
>>282071984You’re right. That’s why Togashi shouldn’t release any more chapters so we can fully enjoy the detours.
>>282072027>While, that’s so much detoursPosting incomprehensible ESL babble of this magnitude should be a bannable offense.
I think Togashi should drip feed us a chapter a decade. Let us savor the detours to the fullest!
>>282063563>>282065188You're probably Jewish and/or soulless if you aren't on Morena's side
I think what anon said was very beautiful. Chances are we won't read the end ever. Enjoy the chapters, each one. HxH will always be special, with ending or not.
>>282071664>nobody likes Palmbogus bomb

>>282072150>random japanese man owes me manga chapters! you don't even buy the tankobons you worthless ESL fuck
>>282072322Normalfags hate Palm for being a shotacon.
>>282072315Everyone already knows it’s not ending. We can enjoy what we get while hoping for more. Otherwise Togashi could just stop today and then everyone would go “well, we had a good run!”. But they clearly wouldn’t, including some of these “just take what we get when we get it” fagsTogashi is a mangaka, he will be held to a productivity standard. No one hates him for his release schedule, but acting autistic about people having less than positive feelings is also retarded.
I wish Palm san would stab 37 times
>>282072425 go enjoy your detours as Togashi shits himself to sleep you cuck>worthless ESL fuckSorry, that’s Togashi not me.
>>282072315
>>282070461My assumption was that other anon was confused as to why they were staking out Abengane and pointing him out for Hisoka, when they could've just walked up to him and talked to him themselves, then called Hisoka in to bring him to Chrollo.>>282070602A lot of confidence for someone weaker than a Shadow Beast when faced with the guys who slaughtered the Shadow Beasts without breaking a sweat.
>>282072491Pretty accurate desu
>>282072440They like Hisoka though and Palm is barely halfway as messed up. Palm really needed 1 good that fight that wasn't just pounding on a Killua that doesn't want to fight, she's probably close to Uvogin tier with her armor hair and never got to really flex it
I can’t let this one series hold my attention forever. This shit takes too long. I could be reading so many other series, maybe if I read some shitty ass shonen I’ll appreciate HxH in a different light, but this sort of setup isn’t built for a “thriving, active” fanbase. I’ll find other things to enjoy, and if HxH comes back with a new volume with exciting developments, I’ll read it, but I can’t say that I am a HxH fan above so many other things in my life.
>togashi terrorist jackthat image looks a little different since the last time I saw it
>>282072574Palm (pre palace) feels like Togashi’s weirdest character. Like I can’t even explain why he wrote her so weirdly. Hisoka can be explained by being a twisted clown villain. I’m not shocked he’s a pedo. Meanwhile Palm is an ally and a trusted team member. Nothing about her date with Gon felt enticing storyline wise. Early Palm feels like a yandere character you’d find in an ecchi romcom Shonen. But nothing in this story comes close for feeling so out of place.There has to be some deeper meaning to it because I don’t get it.
>>282072624current HxH doesn't have enough hypebeast aurafarm for younger audiences. This boat voyage arc is almost paced like a series of books at this point - Book comes out, wait year or two for next book, etc
>>282072719Except a book covers about 3-5 volumes worth of manga while Togashi can barely put on his pants to create 10.Hell, No one would complain if Togashi was delivering 10 chapters a year consistently. But he had a 4 year hiatus and then took a year off between the last two batches
I don't understand fighting for the right to complain about Togashi. Will it change anything? At that point, wouldn't it be better to just move on?
>>282072545Wang can one-shot Chrollo.
>>282072665I think a lot of hunters/nen users in general are meant to be "oddballs" and she just happens to be one of the odder ones. There doesn't seem to be all many normalfag nen users. Palms personality changing several times is the more perplexing part of her for me at least. She seems wholly incompetent for the first big stretch of her character appearing but than she's suddenly mentally sound enough to go deep undercover on a serious infiltration mission
>>282072773anon meant ASOIAF books
>>282072773>Except a book covers about 3-5 volumes worth of mangaThis is just nitpicking, books can be anywhere from like 200 to 1000 pages and HxH gets a lot wordier than most shonen manga.
>>282070662It's not that complicated. His GSB knocks people out and stamps a feather on their hand. Their memory is fuddled with so they can rationalize why they were sleeping. The feather disappears over time based on how loyal the person feels towards Halkenburg. While Halkenburg and his feathers are near each other, their aura pools together.Halkenburg's ability lets him create a bow and arrow out of aura (he's a professional archer) and this arrow can penetrate anything when loosed. This creates a rumbling which can be felt even on nearby tiers of the ship. If it hits a person, they swap souls with one of the people in the feather pool, possibly even Halkenburg himself. Now we have two people with each other's souls inside their bodies. The feather's body, now possessed by the target's soul, is forcibly unconscious and can not be wakened until the target's body, now possessed by the feather's soul, goes to sleep. If the target body dies, the feather soul dies, too. If the feather body dies, the target soul goes back to its original body which now harbors both souls, and the priority from before is swapped, with the target having control of their body like normal when awake, but when they fall asleep, the feather soul still possessing them takes over.
>>282072624See that’s the difference for me. Because im not one of these people who only reads battle Shonen so theyre bored when Hunter is gone.I’ve consumed a shit ton of media since I first discovered Hunter. Hunter is still my favorite series. So of course I’m gonna care. Berserk fans felt the same, ASOIAF felt the same.I’ve yet to find something that delivers everything Hunter does for me. No series has a combination of “superpowers”+ “battle Shonen fun” +”lit comparable character writing” + “uber entertaining scenario/plot”+ “mix of strategy/action/magic handwaving”+”ongoing”I’ve read Lit but most of the best written Lit don’t have superpowers, and the ones I’ve read that do, are already finished. I’ve read other battle Shonen, hell I’m a battle Shonen enthusiast, but Hunter will always have its own place. The closest ongoing manga I’ve found to scratching the same itch as Hunter, off the top of my head, is World Trigger, and even those are drastically different.
How much years does Togashi have left?
>>282072980Doesn't matter. The real question is about his health.
Do we expect Togashi to disappear after he’s done with 420? Because he came back later than he did last 2 batches.It’d be weird if he came back In August, stayed for a month posting for the next batch, then immediately leaves.He has to still be working past 420, right?
>>282072892i reread thw chapters anon mentioned and i will now nitpick even though i still don't comprehend his ability or how it came about properly>Halkenburg's ability lets him create a bow and arrow out of auraHalkenberg's aura creates the bow and the arrow is created from the combined aura of his followers.
>>282071885ParistonWhat do you think they were doing during the arc that allegedly determined the fate of the human species? Something equally important?>>282071907>>282071981>>282072029Enjoy the three (You)s, pajeet.
kura pika needs to give up that bussy
>>282073176Stop trying to paint narratives autist
>>282073047>>282072980I don't think he'd be doing this if he wasn't healthy, I don't think he's even 60 yet
>>282072139That analogy doesn't work because you never paid for the whole burger and nobody ever offered a whole burger to you. They sold you pieces at a time and eventually slowed down to a stop, and promised there was more burger they could sell you later. They have more burger, but whether you've had a whole burger or not, or whether you even enjoy the burger anymore, or whether the quality has gone up or down, is completely independent to this.Stories can end at any time. The only thing all endings share is that there's no more story after it. I love a good story, but manga is about way more than the story, and Hunter x Hunter is not one single story, it's like 50 different stories, some happening one after the other, most happening all at once. You don't need to wait for the manga to end before you can enjoy the Yorknew Arc. Everyone already enjoyed it, it's long over. You don't need to wait for the manga to end before you can enjoy the story of Gon and Killua's friendship - or do you? Who knows? People enjoy what's already happened, but who's to say there isn't more? More could change the story, and that might be bad, but the part you liked is still right there, and you still enjoyed it.
>>282073436I heard his back issues and maybe mental health explain the hiatuses or am I confused maybe ?
>>282071984The difference is that this arc is going to be entirely reliant on its climax, and by design. Togashi set up a powder keg.
>>282073521Right. Togashi himself wouldn’t be satisfied if he didn’t get to finish this arc. He’d probably be pissed in the afterlife if he didn’t.
>>282073513Seems to be a big part of it but probably not the whole story
>>282073557This dude was 27 with major back issues. Did he work construction or is this just genetics, because even other mangaka with health issues don’t even seem this bad
>>282072170That's true of all media. It'll be true when Togashi dies or Hunter x Hunter ends, too. I don't want it to ever end. I want to read a new chapter every day. I want to come here and discuss it with anons. I want to read blogs and watch YouTube videos every day offering new perspectives of what happened.That's not reality and I'm sure you're adult enough to accept it.>>282072307I mean, she's a retard. Disparity isn't a bad thing. Good things can't exist without bad things. Also, money and luxuries are obviously good things. She only sees them as bad because not everyone has them. What, do they deserve them? Imagine traveling 2000 years in the past and telling everyone their lives suck because they don't have future luxuries.
>>282072919I think certain fantasy/chuuni VNs are the most similar stories to HxH that exists. Like the stuff by TYPE-MOON, Dies irae, etc. But those aren't "ongoing" or manga of course. JoJo has the superpowered tactical back and forths, but not really there in terms of character writing.
>>282073633I’ve read a bunch of VNs. In fact I’ve been saying for years in this thread that amongst anime, Fate Zero and LOTGH are the closest to the succession war in plot setup. The writing/plot style is completely different though. Fate zero is much more action focused
>>282073633I want to rape Reinhard Heydrich and the constant trap cards
>>282073704Get into mecha. It will change your life.
>>282072624If you spent all your free time on one manga you'd be a fucking crackpot. Go look at the biggest fans of any piece of entertainment. None of them are ONLY fans of that one thing. That's what I find so confusing about you people, you act like it makes a difference whether you have to wait a week or a year for a chapter, when in either case, you're obviously spending that free time doing other things. It's not like you have a 10 minute slot in your weekly schedule dedicated to Hunter x Hunter and you get angry whenever you find out a chapter hasn't come out. Don't even try to pretend that's the case.>>282073082>i still don't comprehend his abilityI literally just told you how it works. Where's the confusion?>how it came about properlyThe same way other Nen abilities do sometimes.

>>282073799Well, a lot of these things simply won't happen. We just don't know yet.
>>282073799Who says the arc is ending in 50 chapters? It could go on for a 100 more chapters.
>>282073799>can he handle all this in 50 chapters Who said we had 50 chapters left?
>>282073603he drew while lying on his stomach for years
People say that Ging and Pariston aren’t on the Black Whale, but is that really the case? I remember Pariston saying they wouldn’t help Beyond escape, but did they ever state in any chapter that they would be on a different boat? Considering that they are on Beyond’s team and thus officially affiliated with Kakin, it would make more sense for them to be on the Black Whale. Bill saying that one of the methods of escape involves Pariston implies they are on the boat as well (though I admit it could also just mean they are close enough to get involved). Muherr did fail the Hunter Exam, but that doesn’t necessarily prevent any of them from being on the Black Whale.
>>282073631>That's true of all mediano it isn't. other mangas get regular chapters.shows have proper schedules.books release on time. mostly.
>>282073799>Benjamins major secret>Why is there a crib/mobile in Unmas room? Why did she give Halk to Duzaul?These things have already been addressed. Benny's secret is he has a child. His mom is raising his child, that's why there's a crib in her room. Unma gave Halk to Duazul because she was afraid her other children, Ben and Tse, would murder him.
>>282073521Anons say that, and it might be true, but a lot of satisfying stuff has already happened. The Chimera Ant Arc was arguably also an arc where everything was set up for the finale, since Meruem and Komugi even make comments about it, but that doesn't stop earlier stuff from being entertaining. The climax didn't need to happen for people to enjoy the Troupe intermission, or Knuckle in general, or Morel vs. Cheetu, or all the cool abilities being introduced, or the satisfaction of Killua pulling the needle out of his head, or Ikalgo saving Killua.I generally agree with you, I'm just saying, if you're reading every chapter thinking, "Okay, whatever, but is it ending soon?" then you probably just don't like it and should go read something else. It's bizarre to be like>Chapter 1-749>"I'm not sure how I feel about this manga yet">Chapter 750>"Okay, NOW I know!"
>>282074052Must be sad to have such an utilitarian way of thinking in regards to art.
>>282073799Forgot:>Chrollo searching someone>Babymina's special mission>Rihan and Tubeppa's GSB>how Halkenburg got infected>how Benjamin got infected>the fate of Balsamilco's soul
>>282073799>>282074079You keep inflating the number of plot points.>how Halkenburg got infected>how Benjamin got infected>what of Balsamilco's soulThese are all part of the same plot point. A single chapter is enough to answer all these questions.
>>282073783>Where's the confusion?a retard like me being able to nitpick your explanation makes me question it in its entirety.it's a good explanation but i'm slow.
>>282074104it is but your post doesn't address the subject
>>282059686>>282059462The artist keep skipping a fighting scene.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M4Qrd-2ZxM
>>282069841Genuinely think Kurapika kills all 3 here if Gon actually knew how strong he was. His chains alone are fast enough to both capture and kill the girls, and Chrollo isn't nearly strong enough to fight Kurapika 1 on 1 especially with the abilities he showed in this arc.
>>282074072Yep. The biggest mystery regarding Benjamin is what his GSB actually does besides scream at his stinky little sister.
>>282074072to elaborate for retards like me, Benjamin's child shouldn't inherit. he should be marked and at most become a mafia boss.
>>282074207Kurapika's power is just OP bullshit. The Spiders would be dead in this arc if literally anyone on Kurapika's side knew just how strong he really was especially Hisoka, but instead he just got a bunch of Melodys underestimating him. I mean you can't really blame them though, but still.
>>282073975beastmode
>>282050093Togashi's no longer capable of writing an arc that doesn't include a plethora of boring bullshit just to make you excited for the good stuff. Happens to a lot of authors. You're not getting any of this anytime soon especially since Chrollo already started making his moves a few chapters ago.
Benny is panicking bros... it's over
>>282074207Kekpika got juked by Matiy earlier in the arc, I think 6 months isn't enough time for him to deal with years long nen users who aren't enhancerbrained
>>282074448So did you miss the part where he killed Uvo, captured Chrollo, killed Paku, and Neon's fortune said Kurapika would kill Shizuku? Kurapika, after a mere six months, became strong enough to make the Troupe look like a joke.
>>282074072>Unma gave Halk to Duazul because she was afraid her other children, Ben and Tse, would murder himThat doesn't make sense because succession has nothing to do with which queen is your mother. They could have killed their other siblings but didn't.>>282074498None of those things are as difficult as fighting three at once, especially when one is Chrollo. He can capture one. Okay. Then what? Do you think the other two are just watching?
>>282074448>captured Chrollofraudulent 1 trick pony moment
>>282074498>>282074555Dumbpika also got clowned by Kortopi
>>282074448Yeah but you have to remember Kurapika is technically the most gifted human? in the series, because his lineage is from the Dark Continent.
>>282074539Succession isn't the issue. The problem is Ben and Tse are both deranged, bloodthirsty psychopaths who hate each other and want to kill each other, for no reason at all. Unma knew it wasn't safe to raise Halk in a household with these two crazies.
Crapika looked so stupid during the auction part where he has to big on the fake eyes, makes me wonder how many of his longwinded succession war deductions are actually correct. IIRC he burned like 3 years of his lifespan away on some roach that got him nowhere
What is this guy's deal?
Chrollo has extremely low testosterone.
>>282074380Benjamin is fucked six ways to Sunday and he knows it. He has no answer to Halkenburg and Tserriednich's bullshit. He still has no way past Cammy's cat. He's forced to waste time storming the lower decks hunting shitters like Zhang and Luzurus. It's unclear if he was able to reach Marayam but I would guess no. At any moment he can get baited into a wild goose chase by ghost Kacho pretending to be alive and wasting more of his time. He needs to solve all of this shit on a razor thin schedule with a suite of useless inherited abilities and a GSB that isn't doing anything. There are a ton of secondary factors I'm not even getting into, every way I look at it he's just fucked.
>>282074584>Most gifted human in HXH>Train nen for 6 months>Instantly a top tier nen user on par with Hisoka and Chrollo>Stop training indefinitelyWhy?
>>282074745Chadrollo is jacked
>>282074788too busy saving Nostrade's business and collecting his peoples eyes
>Kurapika>most gifted humanIs this a plot point from the new chapters that I missed? I always saw Gon as the most gifted and Kurapika as the most intelligent/dedicated nen user.
Hisoka vs the troupe is just meaningless, isn’t it? 50 chapters left and we haven’t gotten one Hisoka fight.
>>282074866Gon doesn't even have a hatsu in the time it took Kurapika to reach Uvogin level
>>282074866Kurapika's eyes makes him the most gifted human, he is literally an Uchiha. His rate of progression also eclipses both Gon and Killua by a landslide, but then he kinda just stops all of that to hunt for the eyes. Togashi tried his best to frame the two kids as being more gifted than Kurapika but it's just flat out untrue.
>>282074866>I always saw Gon as the most gifted and Kurapika as the most intelligent/dedicated nen user.Machi was able to see people's aura without any nen training since she was a childTserriednich has most likely learned nen more easily than Kurapika
>>282074817Inconsistency aside, Chrollo in the manga is much more twinkly.
>>282075015I’d bet money another zoldyck gets brought into this arc. Togashi can’t resists. Zeno is relaxing on vacation in tier 2.
>>282075015I like how Chrollo was both getting absolutely bodied and was 100% gonna die in this moment and then Togashi tried to play it off like he wasn't really trying or something
>>282075015trvth
>>282074997Right we forget that Tserri is a God level nen prodigy but I think when people talk of Kurapika's excess talent it's mostly a "He's the best nen user of the main 4 characters"Honestly I think Ging has Kurapika beat too
>>282075118He wasn’t gonna die. He read his fortune before the fight. He has no reason to worry.
>>282075150Kurapika is literally the only human born with an absolute genetic advantage over anyone else. He's born as the most gifted human in the series and it's on him for not being talented enough to be another Ging or Tserri.
>>282075194Fortune also didn't include the possibility of him being permanently crippled from the neck down but yea besides that I guess he has absolutely nothing to worry about.
>>282074866Kurapika's power comes from tremendous self sacrifice. He's insane for the conditions he places upon himself and it gives him a major edge over characters who traditionally trained hard for their strength like Gon or Uvogin. Gon's growth with nen is much more natural than Kurapika's because he didn't burn himself to get there.
>>282075229There’s probably a nen ability that fixes that up
>>282075202Too much drawback shit on his abilities that gives him health problems, sounds like a disadvantage more than anything if he can only fight for 5 minutes before catching a fever and needing to go sleep for 2 daysAnd then the special ed gifted kid goes and tries to abuse a cheatcode to get a little extra power by pointing a nensword at his heart
>>282075298Is there even a major drawback outside of stamina? Nen users live longer than normal, so who cares if Kurapika dies at 60 instead of 120 due to emperor time?
We are so back
>>282075334I care ;_;
>>282074746>would have almost no contest swept the succession war as one of exactly two princes with prior knowledge of nen and an entire private army at his disposal>kurapiGAWD makes a singular phone call at the beginning of the arc>the most hilarious 40-chapter death spiral of all time commencesKWAB
>>282075298The way he uses his eyes and the spam on sacrifices and drawbacks are on him. My point still stands, he is by default born as the most gifted human being if you can even call him a human, but none of that matters against people who grew up with way better talent. Kurapika spent the first 12 years of his life jacking off, blame his clan for being too peaceful.
>>282075355Understandable. But there’s no narrative weight to emperor time restriction unless Kurapika ends up on his death bed taking off like 75 years off his life
>>282075372His GSB will do something that extends his shelf-life, there's no way he dies without my GSB doing anything at all
How is Bork part of the “beginning of the end”

>>282075114>tier 2Bitch, Zeno is a billionaire. If he's on the Black Whale, he'd be on tier 1.
Unironically I think Togashi (or Gon himself) messed up with Gon's Jajanken, tried to kind of fix it with the whole feint business, and now used his sacrifice to show Jajanken's max power, while also allowing him to gain a new ability... not that I think we'll ever see it.
What if netero alive
>>282076024He is.
>>282074899Pic rel is all that matters
>>282075986What's wrong with Jajanken? It's a perfectly fine ability.
>>282074746I think there's something to be said for how compelling Bejamin ended up being compared to the role he was set up forEverything in the leadup to this arc pointed to him being the unassailable minotaur of the succession war labyrinth but he's ultimately had to steer way harder than every other prince simply because his surefire shot to the throne got torpedoed so early and nothing has gone right for him since
>>282076039oh shit
>>282076039something looks off here
>>282050093Kurapika owes me sex
>>282075546Still? The strongest.
Who is this guy really? What is his agenda? Why the fuck is he helping Fuugetsu and Melody?
>>282076811I think he's virginthat would explain everything
>>282076811>kaiser :Caesar>cleapatra :cleopatro
>>282076811He is being manipulated by V5 to help set up a democratic puppet nation though a weak willed king like Fugetsu
>>282076866>set up a democratic puppet nationDid that ever worked IRL?
>>282073631>I mean, she's a retard. Disparity isn't a bad thing. Good things can't exist without bad things. Also, money and luxuries are obviously good things. She only sees them as bad because not everyone has them. What, do they deserve them? Imagine traveling 2000 years in the past and telling everyone their lives suck because they don't have future luxuries.Morena is a symbol for textbook pessimism. Her live's shit so she focuses on the bad, which greatly outweighs the good (compare being boiled alive to having sex, getting married, having kids, whatever). The average guy doesn't care about this though because they aren't exposed to or experience the worst aspects of life (genocide, execution, starvation, etc). She's not a retard, she's just been exposed to a part of life that most people ignore (remember that most of her life consisted of getting raped and tortured)
>>282076811He actually is madly infatuated with Melody, his heartrate remaining perfectly level throughout his emotional declarations is because he's had those fluctuations beaten out of him by years of bureaucratic work rather than any ulterior motive
>>282077616I think this guy is usualy neurotic, but is very calm around Melodusylooking at her lake makes him enter the state of clarity
>>282076949In terms of paying out dividends to the powers that be? Yes, pretty much every time really.In terms of creating an actual functional state not destined to fail within 50 years of its founding? The last time in living memory was South Korea afaik.
>>282069339>0 11Seems like a major flaw that is going to be exploited to kill him, desu.Either he activates his ability and immediately sees himself dead, because something has already happened, so he has to open his eyes and act without any guidance.Or some slow-acting nen bullshit is used on him in those 10 seconds that will kill him in minutes/hours/days.
>>282077616Melody being completely wrong should shut people up about how everyone is 200iq
>>282050093I have Togashi posting pages fatigue
>>282078967he hasnt posted anything new for almost a year tbf
>>282063159Not sure I agree with that.With an emotional scene, then conveying what a character is thinking with just an expression is viable.You don't need to know every single thought crossing Kurapika's mind to understand how he's feeling. He thinks the people he devoted his life to getting revenge on are dead and now he's conflicted.But in scenes like the ones that define the succession war, characters are thinking tactically. Their exact thoughts and how those thoughts will inform their course of action is pretty important. Togashi wants us to understand their plans so that we can know if their plans are going right or wrong.Also, "show, don't tell" does not mean "picture good, word bad". It just means you should give information in a diegetic way that doesn't break the story.
>>282073631No, inequality is a bad thing, retard. Imagine being stupid enough to defend a world where a handful of people live like gods (what, do they deserve that?) while everyone else, including you, toils away like a slave. You are so fucking pathetic. A useful idiot of the wealthy elite, advocating for a lower quality of life for yourself. What an absolute moron you are.

Zazan is so sexy and has the perfect figure
>>282076065I really don’t think it is. Too much of a windup, and the use case for Scissors seems very thin compared to just punching, or enhancing a sword.
>>282081340>Too much of a windupThat can be improved with training.>the use case for Scissors seems very thinThe point of Jajanken is it gives Gon a short (rock), mid (scissors), and long (paper) range attack.>or enhancing a swordThe benefit is Gon doesn't need to lug around a sword everywhere he goes and he can catch his enemies by surprise.

>>282075941>it is revealed that Zeno is a cheapskate
>>282050093kurapika doesn't care about the troupe after yorknew archis revenge arc is already finished
>>282050093I really don’t give a shit about jobbers like Kurapika, the Princes or the Troupe anymore.Only STRONG characters like Ging, Beyond or Hisoka can command my attention.
>>282074899as anons like to say, Hisoka only fights jobbers so don't expect his fight to be good.
>>282075229doesn't the forturne include important shit not just dying?
>>282083726Kastro and Gotoh were stronger opponents than the Shadow Beasts Uvo cleaned up and ant fodder the Troupe faced. Only Feitan and Chrollo have had real opponents. The rest of the troupe are frauds.
>>282075986I still think he should have had a nen ability involving his fishing rod
>>282075387wtf are you smoking?Tserriednich is without a doubt the most gifted character we've ever been shown.maybe Nigg is more gifted but i doubt it.Tserri learned nen after Kurapika and is showing HUGE gainz.he even developed a Hatsu without being aware of it or even intending to.
>>282083850idk, Uvo was going to die if the dog shadow beast used a lethal poison.regardless, Hisoka only fought (won not fought. Kuroro (and co) shat on him) jobbers so his fight won't be good.
>>282075543Moerina was looking for a specialist because her secret grand plan requires one.idk if her grand plan also requires spying on Tse but Bork the Cute Virgin Dork also fulfills this.
did kurapika put away the heart restriction after chrollo got his blade eaten away? he still isn't using chain jail so far.
>>282079934he is a jew like the anon he's replying to said.
>>282082483desu, Gon and Killua are 1 in 10,000,000 talents.so a 6 billion people world means there are 600 others like them.then you have to take into account that we don't know how likely they are to be introduced to nen and when (old or young) and you will likely end up with a low number of skilled and talented nen users.
>>282084014But what’s her secret grand plan? Is it to also steal the treasures like Chrollo, and maybe Kurapika in the future? Because that would be boring
Can Camilla's cat be overcome by having one of your minions kill her, and then killing your minion yourself before her cat can do it? Or is the cat's lifedrain not interruptible? Asking for a friend.Unless her GSB complements her own ability somehow, I think her revealing her ability so early was a misplay.
what will be the drawback to such powerful nen?
>>282086358None. There’s no drawback to Netero
>>282085901she wants to destROY this dung heap of a world. have you forgotten?see >>282072307
>>282086106yeah sure. maybe tell your friend to poison her then kill him to be sure.
>>282086358he's a genius. the drawback is drawing too much attention and be targeted out of jealousy.
>>282086408To be fair, if I remember correctly, Netro had to pray for his technique to work, of course at the speed of sound. But his moves were basically just "I can punch," so maybe the drawback isn't that harsh.
>>282086566That’s not really a plan though, that’s a goal. I’m more wondering what steps will she take to reach her goal outside of “kill everyone and get more nen through killing”
>>282086358There already is one, he has to be in zetsu.
>>282086832you asked about the plan but you gave the example of stealing treasure. i assumed you meant goal since we don't know what steps she will take and why she needs a specialist.the only thing we might know is that they want to kill everyone on the ship to power level to be able to power spread when they go the populated world. the troupe assumed this.that youtuber who was once posted here by an anon or (himself?) theorizes that Nasubi is employing Moerina since her hideout is built into the ship and Nasubi wants a successor who can deal with crises to be able to steer Kakin through real crises.
>>282087579Hmm thanks for the input the last part, that’s a fun theory. But wouldn’t it make Morena kind of hypocritical if she was working with Nasubi? I’d prefer, if Nasubi is in on it, Morena doesn’t know Nasubi is “letting her grow”.
>>282087663maybe. this would go along with my other theory that Nasubi is a willing cuck in secret.
>>282087814Would Nasubi knowing about Beyond and Morena’s bullshit but letting it happen make him a big brained mastermind or an insane cuck?
So is Togashi gonna gloss over the Kakin rape parties? That’s a lore drop that can’t be glossed over. We need to know what princes were in on the rape parties.
>>282088013both. but it's not just Beyond. didn't his brother father Zhang Lei? or did that turn out to be a mistranslation?
>>282088048>what princes were in on the rape partiesBen for sure. Cammy most likely went to mock and torture people. Tserri as well.nothing to stop Zhang Lei either.Sale Sale didn't go because he wants everyone to have fun. Tyson and Lazurus too.the fifth was too busy sciencing.Momoze was a wild beast.the rest are too young or too innocent/prudish.
>Kastro gets shit on for using conjuration as an enhancer>Netero does the same thing but is praised for itExplain this.
>>282079934Inequality is a fact of existence. It's literally impossible for humans to be equal. Trying to abolish inequality is like trying to abolish gravity.
>>282088171Benjamin would never participate in such obscenity. I don't see Zhang Lei neither, and I hardly imagine Nasubi. I think participants of those festivals are not necessarily members of the royal family, but more likely people of higher spheres, people of Kakin "deep state".
>>282089615Netero's main ability is enhancing himself to move at the speed of sound. He then made an additional ability afterwards to increase his range using conjuration that uses his enhanced speed as a condition.
I miss the friends I made in 2015 when I was part of an HxH group on facebook

>>282089615Netero is as wrong as Kastro assuming his statue is conjured not emitted but Netero's ability is pure dedication to the god(s?) and is not meant to be an example of something someone comes up with consciously.he just wanted thank the god(s) and was "rewarded" with this ability.>>282089888>Ben has a secret>the most likely secret is his kid>he has a kid hidden with his mommy >Moerina told us the rules for bastards>they are meant to be marked as to not compete with legit kids

Why the fuck are all my normalfag friends calling HxH the "soft-seinen" meme now?Has it really gone mainstream? Shits lame it used to just be a stupid inside joke on this board man.
>>282090634>statue is conjured not emittedEmitted objects/beasts are literally not a thing. Why does the HxH fanbase keep spreading this false idea? Is it literally just because Razor is an emitter?
>>282090634>Netero's ability is pure dedication to the god(s?) and is not meant to be an example of something someone comes up with consciouslyThat only applies to his speed enhancement. He never mentions that the statue was also learned unconsciously.
>>282088048No sane Kankin government would ever release lists of the rape parties' attendees. because the king would either have been a participant or needs some number of those participants to obey them.

Kakin rape parties are the equivalent of Epstein for the US. They are a hoax, nothing to worry about.
>>282090946If gon is forever irrelevant in the story from now onwards because he lost his powers due to his psychotic immaturity, then it is practically as hard-seinen as it can get.no other mangaka (not even most seinen mangakas) will let their MC deal with the consequence of the actions like that, shelving him from the plot because of his own character flaws.>>282091062>inb4 the kankin rape parties are an allegory to esptein if he dares to make such a damning allegory then he is the greatest mangaka of all time imho

Why do some people think this arc has the potential to be the greatest shonen arc? I’m cool with it but I don’t get the hype. Plus we need to see an ending. I can understand why someone would put CA arc in a top 10 list, but why this arc? Especially when we might still be in the setup phase and people are already jacking off to it.
IMO, the problem with Kastro's ability was simply the lack of restrictions. Netero for example needs to stand still and pray for each strike of his statue. Kastro placed zero restrictions on his clone, which put a lot of stress on him.
>>282091494>I can understand why someone would put CA arc in a top 10 list, but why this arcNot really fair, no?
>>282091494>Why do some people think this arc has the potential to be the greatest shonen arc?People have been hyping themselves for years.
>>282091591Were people hyping themselves like this when the chimera ant was in setup phase and Togashi would go on hiatus? Because if not, what about this arc makes them do it?

>>282091843Yea If Togashi lives up to the ambition of the arc, I’d be hard pressed to put it down. Succession arc can appeal to both elitist/seinenfags/littards and to even the most shonen brained/battle action fag (I’m assuming we’ll have some more moments of action down the line, enough to fill people’s bellies).I mean, for Christ sake, Chrollo vs Hisoka, some people’s favorite fight in all of manga, is just INTRO SETUP for the arc
>>282091902There's this one youtuber who makes autistic HxH nen analysis videos and he 100% buys into the emitted nen beast shit. He actually gets angry at Togashi for "breaking his own rules" about how the categories work.
>>282091910And obviosuly, living up to the ambition of the arc is easier said than done. But Togashi has only failed me 3 times, maybe 4, and it’s been years since the last failure.
So is Morel's smoke real, transmuted, or conjured?
>>282090954>Emitted objects/beasts are literally not a thing. Yes they are. Deal with it
>>282092028Conjured beasts can be made invisible using In, retard.
>>282091278>If gon is forever irrelevant in the story from now onwardsHe won't be, unless Togashi throws in the towel before he reintroduces Gon. It wouldn't make much sense.
A very basic technique, and I don't see why the conjured creature couldn't use zetsu if it wanted to
When you think about it, the two Zodiacs whose powers we know have abilities that are perfect for dealing with the creatures in the Dark Continent. One can paralyze you at a distance if you disobey his orders, while the other can rob you of your senses (also at a distance). Both abilities seem ideally designed to take down or temporarily neutralize opponents much stronger than themselves without risking close range, which is essentially the standard situation in the Dark Continent. The two powers also work exceptionally well together: Saiyu needs his monkeys to touch the target, which is difficult if the target is moving fast, and Mizai can paralyze a target but only for a few seconds, which is useless if the target is incredibly strong (once the paralysis wears off, you’re back where you started). But the two working in tandem? Mizai paralyzes the creature, and while it’s immobilized, Saiyu makes it blind, deaf, and mute. When the paralysis fades, the threat is far more manageable and easier to escape.I suppose this applies to all the Zodiacs, whose abilities will be suited for team fights against opponents far larger and stronger than any human, and whose powers are designed to work together.It’s essentially the opposite of the Spiders, whose abilities are highly individualistic, don’t synergize well with each other (and can even be dangerous to nearby allies, like Pain Packer or Jupiter), and, while suited for fighting humans, rely heavily on dealing physical damage (an approach that is utterly ineffective against building-sized insects or mountain-sized worms).Netero created the Zodiacs and selected each of their members carefully with the Dark Continent and the race with his son in mind. Beyond has been preparing his journey and handpicking each member of his crew with extreme care to make his team perfect to tackle the DC, but so did Netero.
>>282092076Doesn't really change the fact that emitted nen beast are a thing. If Kastro wants to make his clone invisible to non nen users he needs to use In. An emitted nen beast wouldn't need that.
>>282092028The princes' nen beasts are literally said to be conjured on panel.

>>282092481Togashi set up an arc about Gon and Gyro for a reason. Maybe he'll get to it, maybe he won't, but Gon will be relevant again if Togashi gets there if not before. Either way it makes sense for it to happen. Do you think it would be good writing to drop that for the sake of...what? Subversion? I don't understand.
>>282092576>you're assuming Razor is a retard who uses his least proficient categorySome of the strongest nen users in the series use their worst categories. See: Netero and Morel. It's fine as long as they add restrictions. Presumably Razor has a restriction to only use his beasts inside gyms. So the entire "emitted nen beast" shit was made up because people took the Hisoka's shittalking during the Kastro fight too seriously? That's it?

>>282092628Nothing was debunked, retard. The fact that Kurapika made a distinction between conjured nen and non conjured nen should have clued you in. He doesn't need to use Gyo to see the GSBs, but at the same time it's still invisible to the goons who can't use nen.

>>282092708Whatever makes you feel better, bro.
>>282092028Here's the rest of the page where Kurapika says that the conjured nen beasts were specifically made invisible even though they would usually be visible (because they are conjured). If they were emitted they would already have this feature by default.

>>282092576>you're assuming Razor is a retard who uses his least proficient categoryRazor could easily be using another Greed Island developer to help him make his nen beasts the same way he handles all the emission on the island.
Who cares about Gon coming back? You do realize unless he comes back right after the succession war , Togashi won’t move long enough, or put out enough chapters, to get to that point. Now imagine if Gon only comes back after DC. We can’t even imagine “after DC” at Togashi’s pace.Face it. We’re dying with Kurapika .
>>282092852people also call donald trump evil when he is in fact just stupidone's stupidity leading to one committing evil deeds is a recurring theme IRL
>>282092940Donald Trump isn’t stupid. He’s been elected president twice. He knows what he’s doing.
>>282092825When I look at it that way, guess I'm wrong. But can something like Neon's future sight beast really be seen?Also what about Pitou's puppet ability, normal people couldn't see it, but the invasion team could. Maybe this only applies to GSBs.
>>282092719>it was >Netero standing in front of himno>>282092746you're using the one we're arguing about as an example and the other example has also been argued about endlessly. and you're assuming too much. why not just assume they're emitted?>>282092884so he's cheating?
>>282092743Maybe Gon.... IS Gyro?
>>282092657>ignores "many" in "many are conjured"not even him but you're embarrassing yourself
>>282093062Kurapika's stealth dolphin has selective invisibility and isn't a GSB. It's invisible to everyone except Kurapika and anyone he is lending an ability to.
>>282093232Good thing I gave two examples to reinforce the idea not one.
>>282092940He's an excellent grifter, he's not stupid at all. He might have relatively low verbal IQ but he's definitely a good strategist
>>282093375In other words, Trump is Nasubi?
>>282093062Neon's nen beast is invisible to herself. Since she is a nen-user, it *must* be conjured + made invisible using In. There's no other way to achieve that effect. Chrollo presumably used Gyo to see it.
>>282092939You say this like Togashi is 79 or something lolHe's 59. He's younger than my Dad who just completed a marathon. He'll be fine (knock on wood)
>>282093492Togashi has a horrible back that’s not gonna get any better with age. Togashi can barely drop 10 chapters a year consistently. Togashi isn’t a normal 59 year old.
>>282093517He can always just switch to VN format. In fact I think HxH would be better as a VN atp - Succession War Arc has even been 60% text at certain points.He doesnt have to strain his back unless he stubbornly forces himself to.
>>282093589I don’t think you get it. Togashi wants to draw and be a mangaka, that’s why he never just got a new main artist. Togashi will only draw manga >doesn’t have to strain his backI don’t think you get back pain either. Togashi strains himself even when he’s trying not to. Just look at his reactions to having to do color pages.
>>282091494this arc has many characters and moving parts.more characters = gooder arc.>Romance of the Three Kingdoms is good because of the number of characters>ASOIAF is good because of the number of characters
>>282091960transmuted.>he can change the properties of the smoke and make it act like a solid>he uses "smokey aura"
>>282093492He's not old but he also isn't very productive, and unless he finally decides to delegate most of the art to somebody else (which I think would be wise but improbable) I don't see why he'd become more productive in his 60s than his 50s.Having said that, I think it's quite possible the Succession War ends sooner than people think. I still expect to see Gon again. I certainly expect to get the end of this arc.
>>282093517>can barely drop 10 chapters a year consistentlyI think physical health isn't the only thing holding him back when it comes to that
basically, there are four levels of visibility:>Visible (conjuration-only)Visible to everyone.>Nen Visible (all categories)Only visible to nen-users.>Invisible In (conjuration-only)Only visible to nen-users using Gyo>True invisibility (conjugation/specialists only)Invisible to everyone but the target.If an ability is anything but visibility level 2, it requires conjuration. That's it.
>>282092813spooky but kino. will we get high budget adaptation when this arc is done?
>>282093746That’s the main thing about Togashi. If he was 49 I’d be ecstatic about the future. But I have a hard time expecting him to be better in his 60s than he was in his 50s. Productivity decreases over time, sometimes accelerates with age. Do I see in 5-10 years from now Togashi having a better age 60s as a mangaka than his age 50s? I can’t.
>>282093746>>282092813Medical progress is a thing.
>>282091960He literally cant make smoke without his pipe, what do you think?
>>282093641>Togashi wants to draw and be a mangaka,doesn't look like. They got generational wealth between the two of them, he could've bought a new spine had he wanted to
We aren't "Doomers"We are longtime fans
>>282094117He also makes smoke underwater. The pipe is a condition, it's not used as an actual pipe.
>>282093304>Kurapika could have been talking about that specific critter>could have been an imprecise translation
>>282094186Are you forgetting manipulatiors objects that they manipulate defy the laws of physics all the time?
>>282094141I’m more talking about Togashi’s stubbornness . He only wants to draw and be a mangaka. Telling him to “stop drawing” is telling him to go fuck himself, even if it’s for his health.
>>282093809>>True invisibilitythis is bullshit addition by Togashi
>>282094315Not necessarily. Anything’s possible by nen with enough conditions or aura
>>282094254>you can accept orcs, talking trees and flying wizards but a BMW with optional heated seats is too much for you?
>>282094266I know but he should be intelligent enough to know he has to take care of himself if he wants to keep on going his way
>>282094204Here's another example >>282092825.
>>282094315True invisibility has existed ever since Meleoron.
>>282094365Illumi can throw his needles like jfk bullets, smoke lasting long underwater is one of the least bullshit things we have seen manipulatiors do.
>>282094449that's the princes' nen beasts. maybe. not "Emitted objects/beasts are literally not a thing"in your own posted page Bill says many are conjuration based here >>282092657but even then it's still vague because it's talking about parasitic abilities not nen beasts in particular
>>282094523It's not the smoke lasting that's the problem, but creating it. Morel manipulates smoke (not fire). You need fire to create smoke, which cannot be done underwater.
>>282065871>in such a compressed manner The entire arc is compressed. That's where these problems ultimately stem from, the latest batch being the main offender.
>>282094631Juste use your hand to make an air pocket its not that hard
>>282094592Emitted constructs exist, but are very obvious and limited (see Zeno's dragon). Complex constructs are conjuration-only. Knuckle's Potclean for example is impossible to make with emission. Anything complex enough to qualify as "beast" must be conjured.
>>282094592So you agree that the image in this post >>282092028 has been debunked and that the princes' nen beasts are conjured? Because that's all I was trying to prove.
>>282094315Didn't Genthru plant conjured bombs on people which only became visible after arming them?
>>282094631Just manipulate the water around you into a air pocket, its not that hard.
The real question is how the hell does Tsubone's vehicle transformation work. Is it conjured? If so, where does her body go?
>>282094523>smoke lasting long underwater>>282094725in that case, you're most likely correct, yes. like 95% chance. the other 5% because it's been a long while since i last read it>>282094713idk, anon. why are Razor's conjured and not emitted?
>>282094952forgot my image
>>282092719>He is talking about Netero himself.>>282093088>noHere's the raw. Apologies for the watermark.I don't know if the dojo master uses the past tense like he does in the translation.
>>282094896I would guess it's some combination of transmutation and conjuration, leaning more towards transmutation.She transmutes herself along with her aura.Either that or we would need to go straight for specialization.
>>282060199At this point it will be January.
>>282094896She is enhancing her motorcycle like properties
Bisky should help Fuugetsu with Cookie
>>282093809>>Invisible In (conjuration-only)>Only visible to nen-users using GyoNo, it's not conjuration only. In can also make anything made of Nen invisible unless you use Gyo, such as Hisoka making his gum invisible against Kastro (Transmutation).
>>282072980Depends on how often he is using Emperor Time...
>>282095665I need Cookie-chan so bad

Hisoka manhandling Machi
>>282098733hotbut you know what's hotter? Machi tying him down, giving him an erection, tying her nen string around his cock to keep his erection up then riding him until his dick falls off.she gets him out of her system and kills him for Kuroro and Hisoka dies a happy man.

>>282091696I think SW set up has been better than CA set up. CA drops into a lull after Kite dies and before the palace invasion starts. It's critical to introduce the players who will be on the board at the end but it there's a lot of fluff between it all.

>>282099635me
>>282079934People don't live unequal lives due to random happenstance outside of their control. Do you think money grows on trees? Do you think technology falls out of the sky?Yes, this is where you claim rich people don't deserve their wealth. You would allow that all the super smart, hard-working people who make use of their talents and conscientiousness, solving novel problems and investing in good ideas and accepting the stress that comes along with it, while putting aside short-term gratification, in order to bring you the products and services you desire do deserve to be compensated for their contribution to society, right? Well every wealthy person is either what I just described or they're the children or grandchildren of people who did that. If you also believe it's fine for a parent to work their ass off to give their children an easier life, then you should be fine with inheritance, which is why those kids are wealthy. Wealth doesn't last more than two generations, though, so anything beyond that would be the result of another person doing the same thing I described, which does happen.The great irony is that the people who have the lowest quality of life in recent history are egalitarians. And if you cared at all about your own quality of life and the quality of life of your loved ones, you'd be against open borders and immigration in general, which means you would be in support of inequality. Those starving Africans didn't just get screwed over by a random roll of dice, they ARE the dice. And so are you. If you hate it so much, go swap places with one.Morena has lived a terrible life and it's the result of terrible people, but there's also good people in the world and they work hard to make the world a better place. She's not one of them. She's just as bad as the people she hates. She and her goons are slaughter random people, who are almost certainly innocent of any wrongdoing, while she herself is the daughter of the very nobility she hates.
>>282100550Yes, they literally do, moron. You’re actually stupid enough to believe in the just-world fallacy. How can you be so goddamn naive and disconnected from reality? 99% of the time, a person is either poor or wealthy based on what family they happen to be born into. It has nothing to do with hard work. The idea that hard work matters is a myth. Its propaganda spread by the ruling class to get you to continue to be a good little slave and continue toiling away and enriching them while you get mere table scraps. It’s not hard work that creates billion-dollar companies, it’s money and connections. The people who work the hardest are the 99% who toil away so the 1% can live like gods. If hard work mattered, the people who work three jobs, doing back breaking labor every single day would all be billionaires. Not the trust fund babies who sit on their asses all day and do nothing but ride daddy’s coat tails. You are so fucking pathetic. You get screwed over daily by the 1%, yet you like it. You worship them. You lick their boots. You’re a brainwashed fucking loser, arguing against your own interests. Why don’t you just tattoo SLAVE on your forehead already?
>>282089888>>282088171>>282088048Zhang Lei definitely attended the rape parties, its part of his dark side which has been mentioned but not yet shown. That's why Tubeppa calls him indulgent and wants to kill him. Tubeppa and Tserri are likely the only upper Prince who didn't attend the rape parties, although with Tserri that's just cause he was too busy making snuff films in secret. Tsubeppa and Halkenburg don't know about the serial murder; they think Tserri is the only other Prince who doesn't approve of the rape parties. That's why they get along with him.
I love Halkenburg Anyone with me?
>>282100550>or they're the children or grandchildren of people who did thatThe vast majority of them fall into this category. You claim rich people deserve their wealth due to hard work, yet most of them did nothing to earn their wealth. Enough with the special pleading. You're not holding rich people to the same standard as poor people. Poor people have to earn every penny, but rich people don't have to because... uhhh... they just don't, okay?! >Wealth doesn't last more than two generationsSomeone's never heard of this thing called "investing" apparently. Unless you think putting money in an index fund is "hard work".
>>282101370MARTIAL LAW is prime netero level. He only needs a couple of minutes to win.
>>282100550>you'd be against open borders and immigration in generalAh yes, another moron who blames the people with zero power in society for all of society's problems, instead of the people with all the power who have full control of the system. Keep drinking that koolaid, dipshit. The ruling class thanks you for falling for their propaganda.
>>282100550>every wealthy person is either what I just described or they're the children or grandchildren of people who did thatimagine actually believing this shit. super rich people are rich because they game the system and have connections.they get tax cuts from the government or outright get the government to fund their shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ2tqs_vkscyou live in a fractional reserve system. this means banks create new "money" when giving loans. this means inflation by design.you are working for less money as time goes on.
>>282100550>Yes, this is where you claim rich people don't deserve their wealth.Depends on how they got it. For every person to was innovative, you got dozens who were born into it, people who squander theirs to death, people who stole ideas or leeched off more talented people, connections (which may be from family), etc. Let's just say not every person in a high tower got there by building it themselves. People like to say they did but one of the most honest I've seen actually told me>I am a fat slob who did nothing but I deserve it because my ancestors worked hard for their descendants thus it's their goal for me to win by doing nothing.For real.
>>282101345I wonder if Zhang lei being an Epstein decreases his meta chances of winning.Zhang has been considered the lowkey best candidate because he balances the light and dark, is patient, and seems to have an ability that only works after he wins. But if Zhang lei is really a rapist Epstein dude he isn’t as balanced as portrayed.
>>282100550>And if you cared at all about your own quality of life and the quality of life of your loved ones, you'd be against open borders and immigration in generalOr you'd be into illegal immigration. Seriously, this isn't directly HxH related but much like loopholes for Nen, everyone likes getting off on technicalities. I've seen many ask for closed borders, but fully exploit illegals. One hay and produce farmer I know had/has 30 of them living in a barn on his farm, he would openly brag about how little he was paying and how much money he was making by not hiring "lazy Americans", everyone knew, he was reported to law enforcement for it in the reddest county in the reddest state in the whole US and nobody did anything. So long as they're illegal, and incapable of being legal they can be whipped as hard as he wants and paid below minimum wage, and the illegals can't do shit about it.In a way, imagine if Kurapika went and somehow legally made all the people in the world an official member of the Phantom Troupe (who's now a legal organization somehow), that way he can use that Uvogin chain on everyone. It sounds like a pro-Spider move by making everyone in the world one of them, but in practice this makes everyone in the universe susceptible. It'd be a freakishly excessive and weird loophole but in real life, we see people everywhere with similarly contradictory or backwards practices to exploit or maintain loopholes. This especially includes the wealthy.>>282101232This is one of the biggest reasons why modern people are so discouraged. They know, very rightfully, that the lion's share of their efforts and labors they won't taste the reward from. And how can modern people get up not feeling depressed when they work hard so others can profit?

>>282103057Obviously all the princes tied to the mafia are involved in the rape parties. Zhang, Luzurus, and Tse are all rapists.
>>282103117As far as we know only the Heil-Ly human trafficking has been mentioned about those festivals. Tserriednich doesn't even care about the Heil-Ly, they're a burden to him. So that's not that ObViOuS.
