Soon
>>285509473Also this
>>285509473my unquestionably good morally upstanding heroic hero
>>285509473Chi when
>>285509669hmmmm
Hunter x hunter is over.
We're definitely not seeing the ending of HxH before Togashi croaks.
I like the succession war arc, but the couple of times I've reread, I find it impossible to maintain interest when all the rival gangs are introduced on the bottom level.
>>285512430HxH already ended. Everything post-CA arc is just a spinoff.
>>285509473>He is the CHILD
>>285509473all that for one chapter btw
>>285509473im scared Nobu brosthis is not a death flag right
>>285509473He looks diseased
>>285509473haven't touched these threads in ages but have to show love for my boy nobunaga. togashi is setting him up for HUGE things, and it's taken some people decades to realize that!
how many chapters is he working on at the same timei remember he was planning the story for the next 50 chapters years ago and then he makes tweets about chapters 410-430 but they never come out
>>285515083>it's taken some people decades to realize that!Probably because whatever result of buildup for Nobunaga we have will take decades for Togashi to draw
>>285515137Multiple things are happening at once. The 50 chapters Togashi mentioned are chapters he’s outlined and has to recheck, maybe even did rough drafts of. The 420-430 stuff he’s posted are of the inked drawings for those chapters, and the inking is the majority of his work per chapter. The 410-420 stuff is him posting finalized submissions of the chapters , meaning those chapters are done.All this means is that of chapters officially finished, we’re up to 416. Of chapters he’s finished inking, it’s up to 427.
>>285510276Fuu bros...
>>285509473>doodling instead of making the fucking manga For fucks sake. That's a great drawing though.
>>285515137>Togashi has a 25 year old son and 16 year old daughter>Hasn't trained them to be his assistant slavesWhat gives?
>>285515268The longterm importance was established in Yorknew and you don't need to witness the payoff to expect that. But sure, there was like a 20 year gap between then and it becoming more obvious that Nobunaga was going to be very relevant in this arc(around the 390 batch)
>>285515464True, but this fanbase is kind of slow to the roll when it comes to narrative buildup and theories. Hell, people assumed this arc would be short when it was clear pretty early on it would be an ambitious arc. There were still people theorizing it would end in 30 chapters like 2-3 years ago.
oh boy time to reread the entire arc again for the trillionth time because of the trillionth hiatus
>>285516159nta but i really don't get why people thought that. characters and factions were STILL being initially set up, kek.to be fair, social cacophony is a main point of the arc--so we may keep getting named character introductions until it ceases. i moreso mean characters that bring along new plot threads intended to resolve by the end of the arc.
What will the arc be like during and after marital law? Because 90% of the main conflict with the princes was pushed by Benjamin and his goons being in everyone’s rooms, forcing alliances and Halkenburg to go and target Benjamin which in turn created martial law .If Benjamin is dead, what the fuck happens to the arc?
>>285516266>>285516159Most of the people who thought that were primarily DARK continent truthers who just want the succession war to end as soon as possible.
>>285509473>honey our vacation fund is running low>whatever I'll pull this out and get some fast cash from the readers. this mangaka is truly a genius among his peer, he know how stupid his fans are.
>>285515376Dang. Didn’t know Togashi had children. Mangaka are pretty elite at staying out the public light. I also kind of respect they don’t feel the need for major fame.
>>285509473DOREHODOOO YUME NO FUIRETIIOOOO
HE SHITS IN THE SHOWER
>>285509473
>>285516159That's sometimes true, but a lot of us thought it would be pretty long. Like, the majority of us. People theorizing that the boat was going to explode and 80% of the cast would die in 5 chapters felt like they were just poorly concealing their boredom with the premise.
>>285515365Leorio from a few days ago was also keyno
>>285509473>>285516662Remember the Nobunaga Netero theory?
>>285516662thats a dark continent arc main protagonist if i ever did seent it
>>285516662Fun to see Togashi experimenting with marker art. I think he got inspired for a few techniques like erasing for the hatching effect when he was having issues wiping off Kurapika's eyes
>>285516159Well who the fuck expected him to hype up mount everest, then on to way there introduce 50 other mount everests that we'll have to climb before the destination
>>285516426After Benjamin dies, there’s still the Heil-Ly running around. Camilla might pop off more curses. Zhang Lei is probably going to betray Kurapika at some point. Tserriednich will become more active once he finishes his training. Beyond’s henchmen may take a more active role, if they haven’t already (Silent Majority?). Halkenburg might still be “alive”. We also don’t know what Kaiser and the Justice Department’s ultimate plan is, or who hired Hisoka. There is a TON of stuff to address still, even if Benjamin is taken off the board.
We are in late 3 week right ? but we going back to week 2 1/2 right ?
>>285516738>The day you stop challenging yourself is the day you die.Togashi follows his own advice.
2 stars with 5 spikes
>>285509473https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsyJDWzKpN4
>>285516803That makes sense. I guess my further question would be about the writing style. The current arc so far is fairly people theorizing and strategizing in their heads trying to out maneuver one another. That only works because everyone is afraid of Benjamin’s guards fucking them over.If benjis and his guards are done, will the writing style change into some omega version of the palace invasion or will we still stay with the walls of text monologue analysis?
>>285516803>Beyond’s henchmenIt's going to break my heart when Bill betrays Kurapika.
>>285518339>>285516803Morena/Troupe and possibly even Zodiacs/Beyond getting involved might throw a wrench into succession battle where the princes aren't even fighting each other anymore, stuff like that makes it hard to guess what might happen
>>285518339My guess is we're headed toward a grand conflagration, with a lot of plot and character beats dovetailing. It won't be as standard battle shonen as CA became, but I think there's zero chance the entire arc has the rhythm it has sustained so far. Tserriednich alone is like a ticking bomb.
>>285518634It’s almost fucking perfect that Benjamin can’t peak into Tserriendich because of the teen stuff, so Tserrienich freely gets to train. Meanwhile the 2 best candidates (Halk and Benjamin) are both to take themselves out.Who will stop Tserriendich if Halk and Benjamin kill themslves? Camilla? Luzurus?
>>285518475how likely is it that Woble is Beyond’s kid and that’s why Bill is a guard?
Togashi spoiled that Machi is probably killing Hisoka in the 421-430 batch, so at least there's some frame of reference there for future predictions
>>285518762>Machi is probably killing HisokaNah.
>>285518762Oh my sweet summer child
>>285518762>421-430Kek. Imagine thinking Hisoka would die that quickly, after doing nothing so far, especially when there’s so much stuff besides Hisoka to deal with every chapter.. If Hisoka dies , it’s gonna be towards the end of the arc .
There's no stakes if Hisoka just gets to stay alive forever unchecked, you guys will be subverted
>>285518839There hasn’t been stakes since kite reincarnated as a girl and Killua had a trans genie save Gon
>>285518839I don't see Hisoka dying before meeting Gon again. The story may never get that far, though.
>>285518897The natural narrative choice would be for Gon to come back, prove himself to be a better more mature person, aka the classic hero’s journey.Another part of me says that he can’t be relevant without nen and I don’t want him to get back his nen.
>>285518745Bill was ordered on by Pariston and he picked Woble's room because he expected it to be without incident. I highly doubt it's Woble, my guess is Maryam
>>285518762>>285518839Machi will kill Hisoka
>>285512430Fans should unite and tell him to write novels with some pointers for mangakas
>>285518762I'll take Machi killing a nen-using mafia guy.
>>285518959If the chapter with Gyro is to be believed, Gon will probably end up in Meteor City at some point...if the manga gets that far
>>285519244I believe it. Troupe aren’t in meteor city. Whether we like it or not, outside of the dark continent, meteor city is the most lore rich area in the Hunter world.
>>285519115Many are saying this
Machi's womb flooding with rubber cum
HISOKA GUMMING in Machi’s WEBBY VAGINA
Machi's womb flooding with my cum
Broke the thread once again
>>285518762Hisoka's gonna die to both Machi and Illumi in separate scenarios.with Machi for some weird romantic clown shit.with Illumi cus the hit he put on himself is a joke. allows Illumi to kill him to fulfill the contract and lets Hisoka show off his resurrection abilities. Illumi's just gonna be like "oh, cool".
>>285509473I still can't get over squalas death
>>285509473oh no, that's Togashi's signature deathflag face its over for nobunaga
>>285516545when you never leave your slave cave and jump provides you with "everything you need" (a piece of white bread, tap water and a closet to sleep in) its easy to stay out of the public eye
>>285519347>>285519244>>285518959right, i think Gyro's gonna strike while the iron is hot. many powerful factions are preoccupied with the Dark Continent. if Gyro induces chaos the reserves back in the V6 are gonna have to deal with it. that's where Gon comes back into the fold. much of the last batch was long term setup and foreshadowing, especially the Meteor City stuff. the "Mighty Sweepin' Power Cleaners" stuff is totally foreshadowing Gon and his friends, and how the remaining Troupe members will become allies.
>>285520406After this I can't see Nobu ever dying
>>285520506The problem with gyro is… his arc would feelUnrealistic. Put it this way. Gyro took DECADES to create a shitty nation that got easily destroyed. He wants to make humans suffer, so he creates bad drugs. Mmkay.Now he wants to take over meteor city. The natural conclusion for Gyro with nen is some end of the world plot. Because otherwise what else would he do? Just go back to making drugs in meteor city. And if so, why would Gon care? I just don’t see where gyros character would go that wouldn’t feel too “dumb”. >gyros has taken over meteor city and now he plans to make the whole world sufferSounds dumb and unrealistic We’ve never seen nen users cause havoc on a Gigantic scale the way Gyro wants to. Even Morena has to start with a murder cult on the boat that may not even succeedTogashi is a much better writer than me though
>>285509473He's wasted so much time in these attention whoring twtitter drawings im sure we've lost a potential chapter in this batch in exchange desu.
>>285520633nah, from what the succession war is expounding, mass distributing a drug is much like what all the nen parasite abilities are doing. any number of conditions can be farmed from people using a drug you produced. and taking over a small government is nothing to scoff at. yeah gyro was only at a level where partison killed him, but partison also killed netero so it doesnt really say anything about the gyro's weakness
>jobunaga
>>285520714If he didn’t have Twitter he probably wouldn’t be doing batches still . The likes gives him motivation
>>285519653As it should be
>>285520633Morena is essentially the prelude to Gyro, they have very similar goals. so much so that, for awhile, my headcanon was that Contagion would survive beyond the ship and be Gyro's catalyst for murder pandemic society destruction. in the same batch of chapters, it was described how more Contagion families can be created, and that there are potential ship security holes (the commodity shipping stuff). i'm less sure about that now, though.regardless, i think Morena represents Togashi's mentality and Gyro represents that same mentality gone too far and making a different conclusion. Gyro's motivation is less about spite and more a philosophical argument that life shouldn't exist, i think. and what makes this interesting is that he's fated to meet Gon specifically.so this tells me that Gon is set up to mature and contend with Gyro's argument once the series itself has matured enough. for me, ideally, Gon is gonna win by words and perhaps still without nen or a specific ability. the ultimate bloomer. and Hisoka might be pissed that it doesn't end with a fight. we'll see.
>>285521094My theory has always been that whatever happens in the current expedition will result in a 6th calamity that end up in meteor city, and will be used by Gyeo for his plan. Every calamity kind of presents some sort of human vice, so it would fit with gyros plans of human suffering.
>>285521161that'd fit pretty well, too. i guess we both arrived at how he needs some catalyst for his goal that'll ripple through society. things need to be in disarray or unprepared enough to where Gyro can rise up and take over and not be thwarted simply by being invaded by V6 member states. and to the point where Gon feels the need to step in.
>>285521343I agree. I also think Kite will be the one to invite Gon on whatever mission involves gyro. The end of the chimera ant arc implies kite will call on Gon once again. With most decent hunters on the boat, kite might be in command by whatever powers lead the mainland hunter association. Gon , with gyro, will show how he’s natured compared to the chimera ant arc.
>>285521368yeah i was thinking the same, Kite's totally involved. i like your idea that the command reaches Kite first which is how Gon gets involved. i'm not sure if the Power Cleaners will be totally analogous to Gon, but i do think he'll have a small group with him.Killua or other Zoldycks may also get involved considering Kikyo is from Meteor City. it'd be cool if Kalluto joined or something, that might make more sense than Killua considering the PT ties and being the closest to Kikyo. and they're bound to be fleshed out more as a character.Leorio and Kurapika are gonna have their moments with Dark Continent and Succession Contest respectively so i'm not sure if they'll get deeply involved. i kinda think Kurapika is gonna be bedridden with Leorio tending to him (definitely not gay).
>>285521520Methinks leorio and kurpka will get frog in the water boiled into becoming so monstrous that Gon won’t recognize them. Likely vice versa, but we won’t recognize who Gon’s become in Gyro’s world. Kite will be Kite not giving a fuck.
>>285512459Reminder that these are the same people who claimed 5 years ago that >DON'T WORRY, TOGASHI IS WORKING ON THE SUCCESSION WAR ARC AND DARK CONTINENT ARC
>>285521662No. Redditors crying about endings aren't the ones that can comprehend that they can take that point of the story at the ending to stop whinning.
I lol errytime
>>285509473>>285516662>that's some great art mr. togashi, do you think you can go back to a proper sched->owwwwwwww my poor back
>>285511913Obviously anonStill enjoying the dark continent spinoff though
>>285521635yeah Leorio and Kurapika will have their main individual arcs. we'll see how that turns out. imo Kurapika's gonna spend all his life thru Emperor Time and Leorio's gonna have to go and find the life-granting Nitro Rice. they're gonna be spent by the end. but yeah seeing who Gon's become is what i'm mainly anticipating. Gyro's arc seems like it's being set up to be the culmination of the series and where Togashi will try to make his main artistic statement.so i think Gon is gonna represent a philosophical position that contends with Gyro's. or perhaps he'll be maturing along the arc. but i'm more so hoping he gets reintroduced already mature, kinda like how Goku turned up as an adult.
>>285519419>Hisoka, Kurapika, and Machi scribbles>Leorio and Nobunaga works of artTogashi knows ball
>>285509473>>285509669can someone help my N7 ass differentiate 完成 and 完了 for good
>>285523273they're synonymous.
kanryo is to finish a step which is a part of a longer process. kansei is the total completion of a given task (i.e. the manuscript handed to shueisha).
>>285512430he already revealed the ending, it's just main cast having descendants and life goes on

>>285516662thats my motherfuckin Hunter Association Chairman right there
>>285520459>slave cave >talking about a mangaka who hasn't worked a regular schedule in over 20 years
>>285519244What animal will Gyro be based on?Will it be another reference like with Meruem/Cell or just a human with some animal traits like fem-Kaito?
>>285524883Gyro was reincarnated as a cute girl and that's why he's wearing baggy clothes and a hood
>>285509473Pitou's hot dick fucking my ass and filling me with his cum.
>>285525105don't forget he has closed-back headphones and all the clothing and accessories are parts of his body
>>285523500Fujos are still in denial about Gon marrying and impregnating a girl, please understand. They still hold hope that Togashi lives long enough to write Gon and Killua as gay lovers
>>285522240We only pist this on Thanksgiving
>>285523500That’s only the ending if Togashi croaks early, which implies Togashi’s preferred ending that he would write if he actually reached the end, would be different.I think if Togashi actually reached the end it’d be a Gon X Killua ending
>>285526453Niggas really think Togashi would hamfist a yaoi ending.
>>285526453>That’s only the ending if Togashi croaks earlyany non stupid person knows this is 100% happening
>>285523500I'm 1000% okay with it never reaching that point, parallels reality too much in a way that I don't like
>>285523233Proves nothing
>>285527472It’s already reached that point. Togashi will die and all we’ll have is ending D. That is our official ending. Gon gets with Noko.
>>285527959I don't care to see any ending really, A B C or D, don't need it
>>285529126My point is you’re not gonna see anything. Togashi will die before releasing more than 20 more chapters.So it doesn’t matter.
>>285509473Is he the most Nip-coded character in the manga?
>>285529644I believe in the 50 chapters
>>285529644Delusional take. He's been averaging ~10 chapters a year more recently. Prophesying that he's suddenly not gonna manage even that anymore/die within the next two years is pure retardation.
>>285529716that would be Hanzo>inb4 but he's explicitly japaneseNo, he's from Jappon
>>285530188>10 chapters a year >2022:10 chapters >2023: no chapters >2024: 10 chapters >2025: no chapters >2026:?I’m delusional but you can’t even do basic math. He’s averaging 10 chapters every other a year. He can’t even get off his shit stained ass to put out 10 chapters every year.He’s done.
>>285521662Interesting stuff is in the works
>>285530419He isn't drawn like a Nip though.
>>285530549nta but last batch was around november and extended into the next year, this current batch will be out in a month or two so it's just about a year of hiatus. either way the idea of him dying after releasing 20 more chapters, this bunch included, is beyond stupid. the succession war will be concluded, anything past that is highly debatable even though the previous batch made it clear that togashi is still plotting with it in mind

>>285536504I could see Hisoka maybe settling down and becoming semi-normal after he finally finds the ultimate battle, one that he knows can never be surpassed in enjoyment.But yeah that's a long shot, odds are it would just make him more hungry "chasing that dragon"

>>285537077I was thinking about this recently and Kuroro might be more evenly matched with Matiy than this leads on. Depending on how the troupe produced these results, if they had a real arm-wrestling tournament, Chrollo would win against Pakunoda which should boost his score slightly, but because of Pakunoda's nen condition those 2 wouldn't have been able to have a match

>>285530549we are getting 20 chapters this time though i think. it likely won't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but togashi has seemed more motivated to make chapters. i want to see if there'll be any change after this batch.
>>285545189Nta but it’s hard to think different about Togahsi being active in Twitter when he still isn’t up to the release pace of pre-2018. I’m just glad he hasn’t completely disappeared. In 2021 after 3 years of hiatus I assumed he’d never be back.
>>285545189Snowballs chance in hell there's more than 10 in a row when it's taken like a year and a half just to get 411-420 ready to release, the possibility of a repeat of 2018 is on the table but I have my doubts about betting on that

Also green alien looking thing. Gets new power by eating.>Buu: fat Buu got fixed by a human companion, Mr Satan, while Mereum got saved by Komugi
Is Nen Impact actually playable?
>>285545734I don’t get Togashi’s pace. I have to assume he’s just purposefully taking things easy. I remember one time he was putting out an inked page a day, meaning one new chapter inked should be done in a little over half a month. Nowadays the time between each finished new inked page is much longer.
>>285545823The time between each finished new inked chapter*
>>285545762yes. meruem is the ultimate life form like cell was. both meruem and cell also power up by devouring people.
You think Togashi will deliver or will he kick the bucket before they arrive in the dark continent?
Kalluto being strong enough to cave Killua's skull in as early as the Zoldyck Estate arc due to learning nen earlier is fucking dumb.
>offscreen the entire Gon vs Gyro arc and show the aftermath and upgraded Gon There you go, plot resolved, expectation subverted
>>285545923I think Togashi finishes the succession war in 7-10 years and disappears until like 6 years later we get a >RIP TogashiFrom his family. I mean, we don’t even know if the new continent will be a mini arc. Togashi is 60.Do we really see the 70 year old with a bad back continuing to work?
>>285546061Not really

>>285516586Kek
>>285516662Kinda looks like Uvogin
>>285545913So you are telling there's a Majin Buu equivalent out there in space?
>>285546373Majin Buu is in the dark continent
If Meruem appeared on the Dark Continent, the first thing that would happen is he gets eaten by a kaiju sized anteater.
>>285545804
>>285546485I wonder what the termite equivalent is in the DC.
>>285546597Does it require skill to play or I just have to unga bunga until I win?
>>285546373I think there was a Buu homage with Youpi but I don't have the panels.IIRC in an interview he said he reread DB and said it inspired him to write some stuff, though I don't know what year that was.I think it's funny that Togashi gave Meruem the silly needle tail but then he never does anything with it except threaten or wack people

Dc is literally just “anything man”. Anything Togahsi could want to write could be there. Intelligent alien like creatures? Could be there. Ghosts and goblins? Could be there. Demons, devils, yokai ? Could be there. It’s could be anything, and that makes predicting what could be there boring.
>>285546980>t. ant
>>285546735I haven't played it but I've heard it has balance issues. The game started with a roster of 16 but they did add Pitou as DLC a few months ago so I assume there is room for for the game to develop further
>>285547028>implying we will ever get to see the dark continent
Don Freecs could beat Meruem btw
>>285547033>imagine this paradigm shift where the thing you think is the strongest, is actually among the weakest>woah.... then what's something that's 1% stronger?>no wait imagine something that's 2% stronger>no wait imagine something that's 3% strongerYou guys are acting silly
>>285547028Predicting is the only think we can do, because Togashi will die before we ever see the dark continent at full.
Why doesn't he just go the light novel route, then draw it later?
>>285545953Kalluto may not have learned nen until sometime between the end of Yorkshin and the middle of Greed Island
>>285547095I don't care about that silly stuff, I'm more into the ecology side of things.
>>285547145I said the same shit, but I guess at that point once the story’s out there’s no motivation in drawing it.
>>285547157How much would I have to pay the Zoldycks to buy Kalluto as a bride?
>>285547167What would be the natural predator on an ant that transforms people an animals into monsters?
>>285547194If he still has that talent for drawing, then he could still just design the characters after the fact. Then again, I'm probably not getting Ishura S3 or a follow up to Grimgar, so maybe his slower pace is for the best.
>>285547220Either this >>285546485or even a zombie parasite of some kind. I have a headcanon that the chimera ants are perfectly adapted to their environment on the DC specifically because they avoid mutating too drastically over the course of their evolution.
>>285547337>specifically because they avoid mutating too drastically over the course of their evolution.By that I mean its selected against fyi.
>>285542888i need fuck kurapika anus
I think it's more that the Chimera Ants are only "ants" because insects are the only thing in the DC they can reliably kill
>>285547912leorio...
if pitou were my royal guard i would have it switch between male and female depending on my mood that day. It should be more than capable of this level of manipulation.

>>285547930it's probably fair to say the chimera ants in the mainland are quite a bit more powerful than dc chimera ants. They had a chance to grow and flourish here like they never did there + absorbed nen capabilities and intelligence. That had to bump them up at least a threat class or 2. Which puts into perspective how strong humanity as a whole is that those amped up chimera ants were never an existential threat to it... DC is going to job to our heroes.
>>285548980More like humanity is so weak that a couple of ants from the DC posed a serious threat to an entire country.
>>285549213a pretty small and irrelevant country but yeah.I still think dc ants are generally weaker than the ants we saw. They would not have access to nen users or endless, abundant, easily hunted food on the dark continent. There's no reason to think they're normally anywhere near this strong.
>>285547930>>285548980>>285549213The Chimera Ant queen was a mutant even by "normal" standards and arrived on the human world heavily injured for a reason. She was small potatoes whre she came from but ultimately nothing special or especially dangerous. The only reason the ants lasted as long as they did is because they arrived in a country with low technology and a fair number of convenient political treaties keeping outsiders away. If she had washed up in a more populated area she'd have been clapped within a couple days.
>>285549371>I still think dc ants are generally weaker than the ants we saw.Naturally, but that doesn't mean they're better suited for the environment in the DC either. How many mutant queens like her show up and get squashed or eaten, you think?CA are basically just an invasive species that faced little in the ways of competition, hence why her colony managed to flourish the way it did.
>>285549371They said that chimera ants including the King were considered class B and there are Class A species on the Isle. I feel like the ants can get that strong in the Dark continent but get culled by the stronger monsters. But the current arc is pretty low power compared to every other arc I don't know if he's going to keep it that way. It'd be weird having it go back to that strength after the succession arc.
>>285549734Isn’t that kind of weird though? They can produce beings like Mereum, but can be easy fodder. Like, if Netero and Beyond managed to survive the DC, there’s shouldn’t be any reason a multi colony of multiple Mereums shouldn’t be able to at least establish some small home.
>>285549734Well, as far as we know, dark continent chimera ants also don't have nen. That seems like quite an elevating thing...
I think HxH could have done more with it’s world rather than just having the Chimera arc. There’s actually too little focus on it and it makes the entire setting seem shallow while it exposes it for what it really is. A tournament arc: The series.I think Togashi should take lessons from One Piece. At least Oda’s pirate world doesn’t bore me.
>>285549883>Like, if Netero and Beyond managed to survive the DC, there’s shouldn’t be any reason a multi colony of multiple Mereums shouldn’t be able to at least establish some small home.I think the problem is that they seem to evolve TOO fast, is the thing. The death of a single king is absolutely and utterly devastating to the entire colony, but human society still carries on all the same after Netero's death. There could be a tribe of Meruem-likes that dominate their ecosystem, which then catches the attention of another freak of nature that seeks to prey on these new and improved ants. Unlike the humans, the ants simply don't have a viable safety net to turn to if this specific batch of uber ants is wiped off the face of the Earth.Just my two cents.
>>285550036I half agree, but that’s why Togashi introduces the DC arc. It’s pretty clear introducing interesting “human” settings isn’t Togashi’s string suit. Heavens arena is just a tournament area, Yorknew is a generic city, greed island is a generic island , etc
>>285549956I'm saying it probably helps that the chimera ants ARE weak and small in the DC, you know? Its a double edged sword, phagogenesis.
>>285550102You can’t really convince me DC is an actual place at this point because I’m pretty sure the continent is entirely made up. Fabricated just for some shitty plot for some shady people to utilize for their shifty agendas. And that’s probably how the story is gonna go. No fun adventure just an edgy slaughter fest like Togashi’s favorite books.Also Greed Island was just Sword Art Online before it was cool.
>>285547194by all accounts he's a stubborn dude who does things his way or the highway.he's consistently rejected any suggestions other than drawing the manga by himself.I think he enjoys drawing HxH but sees it as more of a hobby he does every now and then.people just have to contend with that.
>>285550388I believe in the DC and I believe in Don Freecs.
>>285535236>>285534972The man has 6 fingers.
>>285550036HxH world is a lot like Dragon Ball
Togashi is gonna dedicate another 70 chapters to this shitty war all to say “humans can be bad” “monarchy is bad” , isn’t he?
>>285550388There's only 10 more in life hours to the Succession arc. It's got to be over by this batch. It's just got to be.
>>285550561he's gonna dedicate the chapters to bungee world and explain how meruem would be a hapless hisoka victim.
>>285550583Kek. Reminds me of the “it’ll be over in 30 chapters trust me” dudes from a couple years ago
>>285550676Honestly, it'll probably be 40 chapters long unless he's rushing this arc. I feel like the arc is going to end with Chrollo stealing the artifacts and ending the Succession war. But I also feel that means he's going to kill Hisoka or maybe not I honestly can't tell who's going to win between the spiders and Hisoka. It feels like the spiders but then Hisoka just revived and killed the ones who cost him his match.
>>285550036Monke D Machi
>>285522583Succession War is Kurapika's main arc. Zhang Lei literally literally Kurapika is "the key to everything"

>>285555797How many are saying this??!!!
>>285556873Probably in the same batch that Modulo concludes, if it follows its intended timeline. Jump wants to pace its known hits out.
>>285556907It was mostly a crack theory with only evidence being that they had similar facial features and mannerisms, but it was discussed quite a bit when the last batch revealed some more details about the Netero family
Cashew
>>285557083i like tareme eyes on my anime girls... but not like this
Takayuki Goto:" The scene that opened episode 45, when Kurapika was muttering: "I want power. The power that enables me to keep the souls of those wandering scoundrels who wreak havoc in this world shackled in hell" And then: "A chain?" As Nen chains wrap around himThe director's idea was very clear: "The scene will be based on the opening sequence of The Rose of Versailles."Starting from episode 45, the director's idea became strongly evident, and he stated it clearly: "Let's proceed in the style of the opening sequence for The Rose of Versailles." To make the chains appear as if they're pulsing with life, it was left more to the key animator's (the main artist's) sense than to the animation supervisor.The reason for showing Kurapika's body partially might seem to be to avoid directly revealing his identity—whether he's a man or a woman (laughs). But while drawing, I focused on the details of the body and joints, keeping in mind that he is a man. (And he is.) "
>>285557147the 2011 version is so soulless compared to this
>>285556997Given the evidence you’ve provided, I actually thought you were talking about another character from the succession contest arc. Haha silly me!
>>285557147
>>285557280>The scene will be based on the opening sequence of The Rose of VersaillesCheeky
>>285557326h-how did he know??
>>2855571662011 was great for action scenes but atmosphere was lacking sure. i would still argue how 2011 did kurapika vs uvogin was inappropriate to what the fight symbolized and 1999 did it better still.The chimera ant arc done by the 1999 anime would have been something truly harrowing

>>285552556yeah that's what i was already saiyan. it follows up on all the Yorknew themes as well. and DC is Leorio's.
>>285552699>almost fucking dies because he's a fanboyNobunaga would have gone 2 for 2 with these Heil-ly jobbers had damage displacement dude not been there.
>>285558283pika really inspired him huh
I don't care what happens or who dies in the process, I just want to see Ging's feet. He's going to have to take his shoes off at some point, or raise his arm enough to see his armpits. I don't care about his ability anymore because the only reason I was curious was to imagine him using it on me while we have sex. I would die happy if he's killed off unceremoniously without revealing Gon's mother either or further details about his backstory so I can keep deluding myself into thinking I impregnated him and left for cigarettes so he could have an awful time as a teenage dad for two years and then fuck up in custody court so badly that he has to leave too. Then we can get to the DC and feed Netero's nuked radioactive remains to a CA and having him revived as a hot girl a la Kite and end the succession contest singlehandedly. It doesn't matter because I bet everything on polymarket that Ging would show his feet the next batch. If it doesn't happen I'll be done with this story.
Can you use elemental abilities without hurting yourself? Killua’s ability only works because he has electric resistance due to torture
>>285560420just use nen to make yourself immune to elemental damage :)
>>285560420If you can fucking make yourself immune to explosions
>>285560491>>285560438It’s just weird we don’t see more “dangerous property or element “ users considering it’s a fundamental part of the average magic system
>>285554848killua...
>>285557478he was supposed to tell meruem about komugi. ikalgo told him to.
>>285560491Genthru just needs to shield himself with generic nen from the blast, like the series directly explains...Killua has electricity coursing through himself.
Why did killua needed a hunter license anyways?
>>285564443it's useful
>>285564443to sell it and buy more chocolate robots
>>285560550>It’s just weird we don’t see more “dangerous property or element “ usersNot really. If someone makes a really potent element they have to have a considerable defense to counteract it. Killua had years of torture with electricity, Genthru can only go so hard with his explosions because he requires a counteractive force from his remaining nen. Silva would be the same, his explosive ball attack would require him to defend against it. Feitan is the only one to be totally immune to their attack but it's a counter ability and the strength is variable. Doesn't make it any less potent but it seems that anyone using transmutation for an element would need to multi-category spec for full immunity. Not exactly common with transmuters it seems.
>>285560550Feitans pain pecker seemed like an extremely dangerous fire ability
MORENA RAPED ME!!!
>>285567324Bork...
tic tac, zodiac jobbers
N
im sorry but when it takes years to get a single chapter why would i even care at this point. same shit happened to berserk. im not that desperate for scraps.
>>285566863Is that a design flaw by Togashi or a good thing? Nen is supposed to do anything but it seems this type of stuffy highly limits certain potentials for certain abilities.
>>285568821>Nen is supposed to do anythingIt's not. And the way we've seen elemental abilities is consistent with the series implementation. Because most people are the source of the ability they have to have a degree of protection. It's possible to have remote activation but it's far more conditional and may still require protection if the attack is AoE. Basho can apparently conjure flames at the right spot among his various effects, but he doesn't need to be fire-proof to use that. Feitan can summon a miniature heat source of great intensity but he requires his conjured suit. Genthru's bombs were also stated to be 3-5x stronger than his little flower transmutation ability but he's not going to be near someone when they do explode. Togashi just didn't feel the need to make it easy to access certain powers compared to other stories. It's not a design flaw, it's just something different about nen compared to other series.
>>285569017In other words, there’s way to do interesting elemental abilities, you just need workarounds. And it makes sense. It would be overpowered if someone could use, like, acid or lava in universe without any notable conditions or limits.
Anyone remember what this was
>>285569387Bork?
>Togashi and his wife are fine with manga piracy>Oda is notReally makes you think...
>>285570085Naoko was born into a rich family and the Togashis have several successful franchises between them so it's not like they're ever short for money. They make manga for the love of it and don't mind manga piracy because it just means more people read their work.
>>285509473Ok but when?
>>285570085Oda doesn't really care, he needs as many people as possible to read one piece so the joyboy ritual is successful, it was jumps doing

If I could bet my life or my savings I’d bet that we won’t reach the new continent until after chapter 500 . I REALLY think most of the fanbase is underestimating how long this arc will be.In fact, I wouldn’t be shocked if Martial law is all a setup to get rid of Halkenburg and Benjamin so that Tserriendich is the clear front runner. I think when martial law is over we’ll go back to some “succession war normalcy” for at least 1-2 batches before starting the final stretch which may be as long as palace invasion.Here’s how I see it >410-420: everything that has to be covered prior to martial law. Kurpaika’s second Nen class, Morena sure soldier trying to assassinate woble, Feitan and Phinks going after hei-ly, how Benjamin got poisoned >420-440: martial law >450-460: back to regular schedule programming/aftermath of martial law >460-510: the final stretch and arrival on new continent
>>285575456at the rate chapters are being released, togashi will most certainly be dead before chapter 500
>>285575510What’s the chance Togashi pulls a 3kings arc on Hunter?
>>285575510He's still only middle aged
>>285575772He’s only 60. My dad is 60, doesn’t exercise, and looks young enough physically. But, that could change quickly. He certainly won’t die anytime soon unless he has whatever Miura had. But he may never finish this arc. If he didn’t have a bad back I’d say he could draw manga for another 15 years. But then again, if he didn’t have a bad back, we’d probably already be finished Hunter and onto Togashi’s newest major series
>>285537573Illumi is strong, but he is a manipulator, so I don't see him being stronger than Machi. Kalluto should be the weakest since Shizuku, the second weakest, still managed to give Gon a good challenge using her weaker arm, and I don't think Kalluto is physically stronger than Gon or Killua.
>>285576112>Illumi is strong, but he is a manipulator, so I don't see him being stronger than MachTruke, a nenless Gon crushed Illumi's beta wrist, Matiy low diffs since she leans enhancer
He's not coming back until he's done with dq vii remake
You know what, now that I think about it, Shalnark was the only pro hunter in the Troupe, so he would have been the Troupe's only way to find out if Kurapika is on the boat. Illumi is too, but I don't see him giving information to Chrollo for free. So it makes sense that the Troupe doesn't yet know Kurapika is on the boat.
>>285577010Machi could have looted Shalnarks hunter license while she was cleaning up the bodies, I cant remember if you can get information just with the card
>>285576112Illumi is physically stronger than Machi. He's a man, she's a woman. And he's much taller, heavier than her.
Thinking about squeezing Pitou's fascinating leg muscles and feeling them go from soft like tofu to expanding and becoming hard like a bundle of steel cables as they begin storing up the literally hundreds of thousands of pounds of tension it would take to accelerate them multiple times the speed of sound in a tiny fraction of a second...
>>285578061Illumii probably fares about as well as Shalnark on the canonical arm wrestling scripture
>>285578290This is Togashi tripping. You can tell Machi is one of his favorite characters cause I can't seriously believe she's physically stronger than Chrollo or Bonorenov I mean come on
>>285578611The weird one is Nobunaga being so damn weak as an enhancer
Which Troupe member will Hisoka kill next?
>>285578696he will kill chrollo's anal virginity
>>285577305The thing is useless unless the owner is using it, it's only been stated at the beginning though. >>285578688He might just enhance his speed. Enhancement isn't limited to strength.
>>285579254>The thing is useless unless the owner is using itThis doesn't make much sense since there's the plotpoint of people selling their license
>>285579316I think it means the official uses like say the hunter website or using the chip in the license for money withdrawals for example, you can still abuse it by just showing it off I'd guess.
>>285579316It's sold for a lot of money to collectors who are into that crap. It's like a person who buys war memorabilia. it's worthless for 99% of the population but that 1% will pay top dollar for that crap.
>>285576854>machi starin at illuminever noticed thatshe doesn’t trust him?
>>285579383>>285579368I always thought the license itself seemed more useful than the handful money you can get from selling it off but I guess it's strategic to just sell it off if you think you might lose it or have it stolen
>>285579572It depends on what you need. Most hunters who get notable are rich as hell. If you just start out and have no nen and no name for yourself it's something but considering you can just rent a free hotel and get free food. You must really want to buy something rare to need that much money. Gon took out a bank loan with his for 100 million.
>>285578688As a swordman he probably focused on pure technique and speed, and not strength. And about his enhancment type it's weird but for some reason he's the only spider that has his ability yet to be revealed.
I'm on episode 50 of 2011, so let me know if this is a spoiler, but I never got if Kurapika was the single last Kurta, or one of the few remaining
>>285580606Maybe it's a spoiler for a chapter Togashi hasn't written yet (and probably never will), but people have been theorizing if Kurapika was truly the last kurta or not for decades now

>>285582171she's really not moe
>establish hunter license is one of the most valued things in the world and the first arc is about getting it>people even die getting it>gon just gives it away to a pawn shop and it doesn't matter???
I hate the narration at the end, and do not fathom why it's there. It just tells me what I literally just saw, it's pointless
>>285521662Anon most of these "fans" have followed the series for a few months. Anyone who actually followed for a long time gave up on Togashi a decade ago.
>>285545189>we are getting 20 chapters this time though i thinkkek no. If he has 20 chapters finished that means he will just sit on his ass for 3-4 more years and release them in separate batches. Togashi does not give a fuck about satisfying fans and feels no obligation or respect toward the people he owes everything to.
I'm not sure how you guys haven't caught on yetWork really hard, genuinely hard, to get a followingThen go on hiatus while raking in royalties, extending the story indefinitely, stringing fans alongIt's why long running shonen is garbage and why you should only watch/read completed works
>>285578688He's and enhancer focused on speed, just like Uvo was an enhancer focused on power.The question is what is he enhancing to achieve greater speed, my guess is he is doing something similar than bungee gum with his own muscles.
>It's why long running shonen is garbage and why you should only watch/read completed worksFollowing this arc is torture. In my mind HxH ended with the 2011 anime, and the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight is like a cool one-shot bonus. Anything else isn't canon until Togashi gives us a finished arc.
Why don't they just nuke the DC?
>>285578688Presumably they don't use their nen for armwrestling at all since that would just put all of the enhancers at the top and sort the rest by how far from enhancer their specialization is. Not very sporting.
>>285586079I don't think being an enhancer necessarily makes you stronger than someone of another type when using nen. Gon and Shizuku used nen when they armwrestled and Shizuku would have won if she had used her strong arm.
>>285516662Member when Leorio was a main character? I member.
>>285586299age12inexperiencedNoBisky
>>285575772he doesnt need to be dead to stop drawing. He has about 5y~10y left of him before it is over. So we have about 30 chapters to finish this if we go with 10 chapters every 2~3y
>>285578611It's not that hard to imagine really. Chrollo is strong but he often fights with weapons and tricky abilities so he's not focused as much into brute strength. Bonolenov is also not someone who needs brute strength since he conjures items with a hail mary that is a giant fucking rock. Machi however is a transmuter but remember, she is the one pulling all the strings she manifests. She would need a reasonable amount of strength to overpower object attached to her wires but unlike say, Hisoka, she's never shown going against the same level of strong opponents to resist her wires. So it makes her strong enough to be in the middle of the pack, but not strong enough to break above the more dedicated combatants in the troupe. Nobunaga being under her just tells us that he didn't spec into strength either as we've seen he's reliant on a sword as well as having some emphasis on speed.
>>285586299it was kind of a plot point that Kurapika using scarlet eyes specialization to get 100% in enhancer is the reason he could withstand Uvogin's attacks without dying. Enhancers can boost their physicals better than other types of nen users, that's the whole point of them. Being an enhancer would suck dick and have no benefit if some conjurer of a similar aura level could still just beat you down with nothing but fists or speed blitz you.Enhancers tend to have higher stats in general even without nen though, so it's not surprising Uvogin and Phinks are on top. Nobunaga being so low just means he's a speed demon moreso than a bruiser like the other two.But I am pretty confident if Nobunaga used enhancement to boost his strength, he would be in the top 3 for those rankings along with Phinks and Uvo. I think it's notable we never saw the phantom troupe display aura when they were armwrestling, at least that I could remember.
>>285586508using my bwc to give shizuku that expression
>>285587248>is the reason he could withstand Uvogin's attacks without dyingIt would be worth noting that this only affected his aura output and still resulted in a broken arm so he would probably be slightly better than Worm who took the same attack shielded by earth and aura, and was reduced to half his body. If the troupe did not use aura it would come down to base physical stats so Nobunaga being a speed build is simple to understand.
>>285588111yeah but some people itt seem to think they are using aura to armwrestle but that's both unsporting and unfair. And pretty much debunked by Nobunaga being so low on the rankings.
>>285588225Even if they were using aura, I think the ranking still make sense. I posted above but Machi would have to have strong arms already on top of being a transmuter leaning towards enhancement. But Nobunaga is probably an enhancer with an emphasis on reinforcing his weapon which is why he really needs a sword to be effective. He can still reinforce his body but it won't be to the same degree as Phinks and Uvo who are weaponless bruisers. So one way or another the rankings still work.
>>285586586All I say is that as a 5ft7 woman it's absolutely impossible that she can be physically stronger than taller and heavier men such as Chrollo and Bonolevov that are themselves not the average men. No chance in hell.
>>285588721One of these people has to lift multiple human bodies as a basic function of their ability using only finger and arm strength. I made a comparison to Hisoka for a reason, when he does the same in his duel vs Chrollo it's pretty clear his arms are strong enough to withstand the weight his arms would be put under from holding multiple bodies like that. Machi has the same burden with her power so it's natural and logical that she would have stronger arms than normal. It's not like literal children are shown to be able to push several tons of weight with just physical strength. So it's not crazy that a woman can have strong arms and shoulders because she requires that for her ability's combat usage.
>>285588721Its also impossible for a 12 year old boy to push a grown man so hard he flies across a room but that happens anyways
>>285516951his wife did this pic?
>>285557280Not the same scene.
>>285588505>So one way or another the rankings still work.a five-foot-seven-inch woman weighing 135 pounds could never best, pound for pound in strength, a five-foot-eight-inch man weighing 177 pounds. Idk what else to say, women are just weaker than men.>>285589036>One of these people has to lift multiple human bodies as a basic function of their ability using only finger and arm strengthChrollo was able to throw people at Hisoka like nothing, it's not like he has average strength.
>>285589342>pound for pound in strengthgood thing reality doesn't matter when a 14yo can move more weight than is humanly possible>Chrollo was able to throw people at Hisoka like nothinghe still only threw one person at a time. Machi with her strings held more weight than that in YS so once again, her strength is justified. It's not like she's above anyone in the troupe who is shown to be a complete physical bruiser.
>>285589409>he still only threw one person at a time. Machi with her strings held more weightliftting and holding people with strings does not require the same force as throwing people at several dozen meters away
>>285589624lifting and holding several people would make someone logically capable of throwing a single person pretty far and therefore pretty good at arm wrestling. Arm strength is key, the story doesn't make Machi crazy strong, just strong enough to beat out all of the non-combatants and a couple of the combatants with implied or shown gimmicks to their powers. This isn't a crazy reach anon. Machi is not even crazy strong, she's what you should expect out of a nen user who is an original member of the most dangerous criminal group in the setting who has a similar gimmick to Hisoka.
>>285589342>a five-foot-seven-inch woman weighing 135 pounds could never best, pound for pound in strength, a five-foot-eight-inch man weighing 177 pounds. Idk what else to say, women are just weaker than men.this is hxh not real life tho
I think Benjamin’s GSB ability will transfer his soul to his kid. For one, it would fit as a parallel to Halkenburg, his look alike brother, whose ability uses soul swapping. Second, it would end an emotional narrative point. Benjamin, the oldest prince, the most masculine prince (with a cock for a nen beasts for obvious symbolism), ends up in the body of a defenseless child. The only thing Benjamin still has up his sleeve is really his gsb ability, it will be interesting to see what it is.

>>285589186Togashi draws sailor girls here and there so it's probably him
>>285518862I agree Kite's reincarnation was kind of bullshit, but Gon being saved by nanika isn't that bad. Him being out of combat and having to re-learn Nen is still a big deal.
>>285589225I clicked the wrong (You) my apolocheeze
>>285588721Chrollo is a zero-aura lanklet and Bonolev has literal holes in his body all over, aside from just missing muscle, the remaining muscle would be totally inefficient pulling/releasing around the holes (since he's not closing them).Now Nobunaga is the real odd one out as being weaker and Feitan as the one being stronger.
>>285593176Gon and Killua kept jokingly asking him why he designed such a retarded ability. Now we know. Kids don’t really understand debt but now they both do.
I will NOT survive the next batch of chapters
>>285588721
>>285593716>Chrollo is a zero-aura lankletNot sure what you mean about zero-aura but Chrollo has been shown having a huge amount of aura lately, and in terms of strength when he fought Zeno & Silva at the same time he wasn't even fighting with all his strength>Bonolev has literal holes in his body all overThat doesn't mean anything. The way he broke and completely destroyed Lynch's neck the same way Phinks did in Yorknew to the mafia proves he's another level
>>285594298Proportions are wrong here. Killua's head is twice as big as hers. Don't trust the anime
>>285594298How many testing gates worth of force did she stop with abs. I think it's overlooked that she was injured pretty badly here but it doesn't matter because she can apply special threadbased first-aid
>>285594356>and in terms of strength when he fought Zeno & Silva at the same time he wasn't even fighting with all his strengthnot to discredit Chrollo but Zeno and Silva were also stalling for time because they knew Illumi would make the job invalid and they could stop their mission. They could have killed Chrollo, it just would have came at a great cost, at least one of them would have very likely died, which is why they waited.
>>285594408Yes 2011 scuffed on the heights sometimes, I think 99 did too sometimes
>>285594356>The way he broke and completely destroyed Lynch's neck the same wayHe broke her neck while disguised as her close ally. She wouldn't be on guard beyond maybe basic nen detection to see if "Hisoka" was nearby and even that's debatable because she didn't sense the real Zakuro right around the corner. I figure anyone in the troupe could break someone's neck under those conditions, even Kortupi since Shizuku was pressing Gon using her off hand.

>>285593176Isn’t it the exact opposite? With enough conditions nen can accomplish most things, albeit at a small scale. Reincarnation seems par for the course considering nen. Meanwhile Killua can just go “Alluka, will you get rid of all bad people?”>mmkay
>>285595020It’s just the 421 background designation. Which means up next is probably his assistants work and then the final touches before submission.
>>285595229How many months ago did background specs for 411 start
>>285591860Kachou my beloved>>285594770Cookie-chan my beloved
>>285595117>Reincarnation seems par for the course considering nen.Kite's ability is too vague to make sense. If Kite was sending his soul anywhere, why not to the person that killed him? Why to a random fetus he was never close too since he died in the jungle outside of the ant hive. Halkenburg's ability makes perfect sense by comparison and it seems to suggest that the only way a soul can do this is if the original body is still alive. Kite should have been knocked out and fed to the ant queen instead of being made into Pitou's training dummy. At least Nanika had rules that were revealed to us and consistent despite the scale of it's ability. And it's power is limited because Killua would not order them to do something like that in the first place. It's no different than Togaghi giving Chrollo a blank check to have any ability he wants, and still limiting the guy.
>>285595312November 2024.In other words, don’t get your hopes up about 20 chapters
>>285595393>too vagueNta but this is my problem with Kite coming back to life. Not that it’s possible to comeback to life. We have stuff like soul swapping, or Camilla, etc. but there’s no explanation. There’s no logical way to analyze how it happened. Is it just reincarnate to the nearest newborn child of your dead body? Or just random reincarnation?
>>285595395This one >>285594955feels like a preemptive hiatus announcement all of a sudden
>>28559546620 chapters was always just optimismdont play that game
Togashi is 60 yo. Either he ends the series when they land on the Dark Continent or he'll spend the rest of his 10-15 years left of life on it. That is, if he finishes this arc within 5 years.I don't see it continuing after the black whale, honestly. There's probably going to be a soft cliffhanger/end if we're lucky.
>>285595466It’s impossible to tell with Togashi. Technically, by the time we’re at background ignition, most of his worn (inking being the majority) should be done, and it’s his assistants turn. For example, he inked up to 420 by like October 2024. Yet, despite most of his work on the batch on that end being done, we won’t get it released 1.5 years later. My guess is either Togashi doesn’t use his assistants like regular workers on a schedule, and therefore it takes a while for one full chapter to be done. Or Togashi truly just works on a whim and doesn’t give a shit about release pacing, what could be finished now, etc.
>>285595559Yes I don't mind, I'm used to 10 at a time. Had zero expectations for 421-430 this time with how 425/426/427 have been being squeaked out with the updates
>>285595645I'm eternally baffled at people that thought we were ever getting a sprawling epic of new world exploration.Meteor City will coincide with meeting the Guardians at the Gate and Beyond's escape, in some kind of subversive drama that explains why the world is magically and metaphysically structured the way it is, and then a few spreads of them looking off at different horizon.
>>285595670>on a whimIt’s less that he works on a whim and more so, he does have an order of operations. Right now he’s probably working on finishing the 410-420 chapters necessary for shuiesha, doing the character inking up to 430, and doing the background inspection/dialoguw for the 421 batch. Instead of focusing on one of these things at a time until he finishes, he probably just does them all at once in like a rotating order or something.If it was me, I’d just focus on inking until I compile like 20-30 chapters.
>>285595670>My guess is either Togashi doesn’t use his assistants like regular workers on a schedule, and therefore it takes a while for one full chapter to be done. Or Togashi truly just works on a whim and doesn’t give a shit about release pacing, what could be finished now, etc.Well there's that and also the "verifying 50 chapters" thing. The possibility for 10 chapters a year is there now if that verification is finished, though I'm not aware of that being confirmed.
>>285595791He did say he’d only get back to inking and the like after verifying the 50 chapters so supposedly that should be finished.
>>285595789>id just focus on inking The thing is , inking is probably the most hardworking for Togashi. It makes sense he doesn’t just go hard at inking until he does a bunch, it probably keeps him physically “sufficient” to do other stuff instead of just inking.
they all land on the dark continent and then hisoka activates his rubber armor gear 5 and kills everyone and then he kills himself with his rubber nen because hes so strong and then chrollo pees his pants and dies of a heart attack because he's so scared opf hisokerTHAT'S how you make a satisfying ending
>>285595819Anons sometimes like to look at that big 4 year hiatus as like a tombstone for the series but really I think he didn't have much things totally mapped out past chapter 400 at the time even if he did know how the big story will play out in the long run - just didn't have all the groundwork laid out like he now does for the next handful of batches
>>285595858And also Machi's pregnant with the next protag for HxH2
>>285595645He's just having fun telling a story without the pressures of being weekly. I think he'll continue writing just for the fun of it.
>>285595955This picture and other information about Luzurs makes it clear he’s not an easy pushover like rapper Nasubi prince
>>285596020O MY RUBBER SPERM
>>285594298
>>285596060HxH does often make me feel bad for weekly mangaka who don't have the time to map things out and also editors breathing down their neck. Listening to editors really does wonders for some series but does often seem to come with a toll
>>285596669
>>285596819
>>285596669>>285594734>Anime
>>285596775I think weekly manga should be required to take a several month break at the halfway point so they can plan things out.

>>285595645Picrel is me now and I was a 19yo zoomer when chrollo vs Hisoka came out. I stopped reading hxh out of principle because this schedule is utterly a joke
How hot was Melody before the Dark Sonata?
>>285594356Aura as in "charisma". Not nen-units.Despite what the story tries to tell you, he doesn't come across as especially interesting and he's wearing large baggy clothes like he's ashamed of showing his build. Lack of confidence shows pretty hard.
>>285598092Chrollo has most likely the most refined fighting style in the series. And no, not everyone wants to show off its build.
>>285597744HxHs batch releases are more like new installments of a book series at this point, it's actually nutty that it still releases in WSJ. I don't mind the way its released too much when you take certain things into consideration, HxH is unique enough that I don't like comparing it to the weekly stuff
>>285596775manga making being a hellish job makes it hard for me to be overly critical of these comics' writing. they do tend to get stupid at some point but the writers have to gun everything to get it done for publication with the added pressure of meeting editors' standards while sometimes not having creative freedom.so i just enjoy them for what they are.>Listening to editors really does wonders for some series but does often seem to come with a tollyeah, sometimes that's true. naruto's best years were when kishimoto had an editor.

>>285599967Based
>>285599967So we are getting 10 chapters and then back to 5 year hiatus.
>>285599967Yea, looks pretty grim. This may be our last batch for a while.
>>285600452i think it could go either way. we'll have to wait and see.
GODzo chapter when?
>>285594445My theory is that this wasn't muscle control, she has conjured clothes made from nen threads.
Machi owes me sex
>>285602271Hisoka...
>>285601895I think I've considered that in the past, mostly when she escaped Hisokas bungee jail but her clothes were still fine
>>285600959inb4 this batch is just a recap of what happened with other characters before martial law was announced>4 chapters of Kurapika's planet fitness nen classes>3 chapters of Morena's goon discussing startegy>1 chapter of Tserri doing something and Salkov going "SUGOI, STRONG NEN!">1 chapter of Zhang Lei ruminating on his coins>FINAL CHAPTER: Phinks and Feitan get close to Morena's hideout. Martial law is announced.>4 years hiatus
>>285602473I mean, that is the the most logical thing. It’s why I think there’ll be some groans from people who think are immediately going into marital law lol
>>285602511The groans will be justified.
>>285602473Ehh, either he goes away again for 6 months to a year after the next batch finishes or we start seeing start the daily(or at least a couple times a week) inking updates for 428/429/430 into the 430s..Finishing the 421 background specs is honestly a good sign that he says the next next batch on his mind
>>285602473Mind you, we haven’t seen Hisoka fight once. Even though it’s him vs the troupe. And we’re 50 chapters in the boat. And possibly ending in another 50. With a hundred other storylines running at the same time. I’ve never seen a storyline be more shafted/
>>285602611I think at most we'll get 1 batch a year. Shueisha's game plan seems to be "hype-up HxH's return and sell 1 volume a year." If they release 2 volumes in the same year, the sales will be divided between both volumes and the total sales will be lower. They must milk every single volume as much as they can.I predict that we're still 70-100 chapters away from seeing the end of this arc (we're 2 weeks into a 2 month journey and the Black Whale has yet to re-fuel). So AT BEST the Succession War will end in 7 to 10 years if Togashi releases one batch every single year.If he ever goes on another 4 year hiatus, the series is dead in the water.
>>285602685>And possibly ending in another 50Make that 100. The journey is meant to last 2 months, and we're only 2 weeks in. The Black Whale hasn't even re-fueled.This is HxH's final arc, whether we like it or not.>I’ve never seen a storyline be more shafted/It's a shame, the premise looked so promising...
Seriously what was Togashi thinking ?
>>285602904The moon vs the solar system
>>285589787Still
>>285544959Because the core story is wrapped up. Gon lost his nen so he's effectively retired, but he achieved his goal, so it's okay.That said, I was hoping Leorio would get a proper arc focused on him, but alas.
>>285575772>>285575817Togashi didn't gracefully
>>285544959It's their form of coping with fact Togashi might not live to deliver a real ending.
>>285575817Am I the only one who doesn't really buy the "back pain" excuse?
>>285544959It’s not. It’s cope. Just like the bleach fans who say “it should’ve ended after Aizen was defeated and ichigo lost his powers”.
>>285544959>Nanika>killua family>illumiPersonally I don't care about any of these plots
>>285544959I don’t get how people can say hxh ended when everything after election arc is so much more promising and engaging than everything minus maybe the palace invasion. Succession war legitimately jumped Hunter from a 8 to a 9.5 in my ratings assume succession war delivers satisfyingly
>>285603167Assuming*
>>285603167When people say that HxH ended, they mean that Toghashi will never finish the SW arc, therefore the Election arc will remain the last finished arc of HxH.>everything after election arc is so much more promisingThat means nothing if Togashi doesn't actually deliver on it. We were promised Hisoka vs the Troupe, where is it? We were promised Kurapika vs Tserriednich, where is it? We were promised Ging vs Pariston, and that will likely never happen. We were shown the calamities of the Dark Continent, and we'll likely never get there.>Just wait another decade broHunter x Hunter is finishedAlso, see >>285584753
For the first time in years, I'm starting to believe in 20 chapters...
Ya know what I’m shocked about. Why did people even have high hopes of seeing this arc explored to full fruition? It took Togashi almost a decade to finish chimera ant arc, an arc that isn’t nearly as ambitious that started when he was fucking 37, an arc that had its own hiatuses
>>285603167I think Yorkshin is my fav arc, most rewatchability imo. CA is good but it's kind of lengthy and slow at times, not the best to watch too often, and Greed Island is mostly comfykino
>>285603167>assume succession war delivers satisfyinglyThat's a big assumption given how almost everything that's happened so far has just been setup. I've (mostly) enjoyed it so far, but actually compelling character interactions and plot developments have been few and far between. It's mostly been meticulous clockwork.If the pay-offs are good it will be worth it, of course, but I'm not going to say that's guaranteed.
>>285604125>It's mostly been meticulous clockwork.I agree. I’ll say though, I can see easy pathways for emotional highs and character interactions. but also this could be a greed island thing (like where the bombers are just cool and not really written to have the moments)However, even if the arc just continues to be meticulous clockwork, I’ll still rate it highly, simply because it scratches the perfect itch in my brain. But like you said, it won’t be as highly rated without those character moments and compelling plot developments.
>>285604125Your coins? Skyrocketing in potential price.
>>285603813>That use of color in the backgrounds.Keeno.
>>285604125Nta but has Togashi ever not “delivered” to you?as a fan, Is there any real reason to doubt him writing wise? I doubt he finishes, of course. But the only times he’s failed me was 3 kings arc (which was clearly a whatever attempt to end the series as fast as possible), and maybe Alluka/kite revival.Even if I don’t agree with some of his writing choices I can’t say he’s never “delivered”.
>>285604125I would say we got out of the setup phase of the arc on or around chapter 381. By that point Togashi has setup the two major areas: the succession war between the princes in the upper tier, and the mafia/troupe conflict in the lower ones. What's been happening since then has all been development and consequences. New information doesn't mean the arc is still in a setup phase, it's just that new layers to existing plotlines are revealed like Kenni working with Morena or Chrollo identifying 3 relics behind the Seed Urn ritual. And not every plotline is going to be resolved at this point anymore than they were resolved back when the palace raid happened in the chimera ants arc.
>>285603293We'll see the end of SW. The Dark Continent arc on the other hand doesn't look good.
>>285604372>We have left the setup phasesee >>285602473
>>285604586That doesn't refute my point about the story building on actions and consequences. Setup doesn't mean "the story adds new information". It's the narrative laying out the foundation that the rest can be built off of. There's never a point where new information isn't going to be added until you conclude everything and even in that list. Kurapika's first class finally ending is the payoff to it starting in the first place. That's a resolution to part of that plotline and with Martial law in effect it's unlikely that new classes will actually happen. I'll put it like this. The CA arc was done with it's setup phase when Meruem was born. At that point all the major elements to the arc were established and everything else after that is just story development.
>>285602978but there's so much more to hxh than just gon.>>285603293no, that just means hxh will remain incomplete. it didn't end, and will likely never end, unfortunately.>>285603337me too. i think we can get too see the end of the SW at the very least if togashi stays at his current pace.>>285603813for me, it's the hunter exam. it starts slow and takes a while to even reach the actual exam but the actual exam is fun. i have a soft spot for exam type arcs.sure it didn't have the cool nen system yet but the strategies deployed by the characters and mind games made it fun. i liked the introductory period for the characters too.
>>285603813CA is just better in the manga. the narration works better when read in manga format and nothing drags on too long because chapters don't have to be a certain length like episodes in an anime format have to be.
it's also a damn shame we didn't get CA for the 99 anime. the style used in 99 would've made it kino.
>>285602473This is true, but there’s also a lot of stuff I want to see that happened pre-martial law. Woble is 99.9% going to be cursed by Camilla’s soldier this batch. We saw what looks like Nobunaga walking through the sewers, so we should get him fighting the Heil-Ly goons. And we need to see how Halkenburg was able to poison Benjamin and if Halkenburg is still out there. I am also curious as to how Zhang Lei knew to escape the first tier before the martial law declaration was made.
>>285604960I still can't believe he got to live. It still pissed me off. I don't care that killua killed more people. It's not irrational to get rid of someone who killed that many people especially other hunters breaking the enter code.
>>285604320YYH is a mess, but in general no. I don't think there's a scenario where this arc becomes Demon Yusuke vs. Schizoid Sensui-tier awful, but I think it's quite possible we'll look back and wonder what all the complicating characters and details truly lent the story. Togashi's fine and I'm sure he'll finish the arc, but I think people right now are evaluating the arc under an imaginary best case scenario and not a middle-of-the-road or worst case scenario.
>>285606149NTAI think even elements that aren't fully explored serve a purpose just by virtue of leaving an option open in your head and muddying the path forward. A lot of this arc has also been Togashi applying hierarchal modifiers that are like instant motivation/characterization, similar to nen. If you know where someone works and who they work for, there's already a bunch of baggage that comes with that in terms of their likely goals, motives, and beliefs.All the minor characters have enough broad motivation that they function as is, ie a random Camilla guard cursing a prince, but Togashi can also quickly pull from those elements along with a likely dash of nen characterization in order to highlight certain figures as needed with lots of efficiency. Is this random bodyguard a Beyond child? Is this Heil-ly going to reach high levels? It's the kind of stuff that can keep you invested in the moment, if you're the kind of person who enjoys digging deep into that stuff.
>>285606149It's pretty typical HxH for the best parts of arcs happen in the middle, so I wouldn't be surprised if ending of the arc isn't amazing..Really seems like we haven't even done much juicy PEAK in this arc yet outside of a couple things and I am still expecting some grand things to happen

Kurapika will end up pregnant by the end of this arc. Mark my words.
>>285608092immediately losing his sword again was kinda dumbwe do get more support for the idea that his nen and presumably enlet range are related to his swordsmanship
>>285602904Togashi drawing this knowing full well he will die before he even draws the rough script for the landing on the Dark Continent is just a spit in the face.

>>285605505>I am also curious as to how Zhang Lei knew to escape the first tier before the martial law declaration was made.He's been framed as by far one of the most competent princes actively trying to win the war even though he's made 0 plays to push that agenda. Between his military and mafia connections he has plenty of information to work with. I would guess that after Balkenburg "killed" Halkenburg, Zhang reasoned that Benjamin was no longer playing the long game and made his move to escape. It just so happened that Balkenburg got to Benjamin as well and this triggered Martial Law. I'm curious as to what happened to Coventoba and whether Kurapika was right about the Zhangcoins having a pseudo-manipulative effect. It's not like it would be out of place, it seems consistent that all the princes that actually want to rule have some manipulation component to their GSB. But I also don't like Zhang having one on top of his coin shenanigans as it feels like we've had enough manipulation powers among the princes by now. Camilla still hasn't even gotten to use hers.
>>285610479I don't think Zhangcoins will end up having a manipulation ability. My guess is that the coins reward people for taking actions that benefit Zhang, and punish them for taking contrary actions. The potency depends on how long the coin has been held for. It would fit with his personality as a mixture of mercy and ruthlessness.
>>285603037Most mangaka Togashi's age publish extremely irregularly or have retired. Especially ones who've published SJ weekly in the past, which is literally something that requires massive overtime work weeks even with a few assistants, constantly hunching over drawing repeatedly, especially back in the 90s - 00s.It's entirely conceivable that his back hurts too much at times when drawing 8+ hours a day to publish anything consistently, and because he's so inconsistent he can't hire assistants which makes things take even longer.It's probably not the case that his back hurts 24/7 and he can't even begin to draw so he just draws one line a day like fans imagine
They should do another anime remake
>>285611071Togashi has plenty of assistants. On average he probably draws for less than 30 minutes a day.
>>285610716Those fucking coins, dude...
>>285610716I still do expect them to have a manipulation ability, just not the way Kurapika assumed. But even in your theory, a punishment for taking action against Zhang might be no different than what Shikaku speculated Halkenburg's beast could do and re-write the target of an attack. A consequence could still be something like a conjuration effect that damages or restrains the person. Or maybe a forced teleport away from the prince via emissions. Could even go full Jojo on this one and imply it's like [Wonder of You] and suddenly their gun backfires or a light fixture falls on them. I really need Zhang's coins to be used. I know the second it happens he officially enters the realm of dying, but the mystery is eating away at me.
