>18 days or so for volume drop>Still no volume cover reveal>still no comeback dateAt least it will be a tserriednich cover right?
tweet x tweet
When was the last time togashi even made a volume cover that's relevant to its contents?
mafia dudes cover would be nice though they didn't do that much last volume, probably gonna be Halk
>>288680780Mafia dudes are jobbers and the last volume cover was already a waste on the big jobber
>>288680638Leorio cover.
last cover was revealed around october 11th -> released november 4th, weird that it's still not shown
>>288680830probably next week
Hunter x Hunter is over
>>288680858posting this in every thread won't make it come true, schizo-kun
>>288680638Must be Dogman
>>288680858>>288680708It not over until Ponzu come back to life.
.>>288680697Bump x Bump
>>288680638It benjamin or ging
>>288680708How do you do that in the Voyage arc without drawing like 50 characters on the cover. Feel like Morena might have gotten the last volume cover if Toriyama-sensei didn't pass
>>288681717we already got a morena cover bro
>>288681775I completely forget about that one and had the chibi-troupe one in mind, either way I think volume38 cover was definitely going to be something other than Gon doing the punches of gratitude
>>288681775What Morena goal? Rewrote nen system into nemesis system?
>>288681073that komugi always makes me kek, literally brought meruem to his knees>>288680638im feeling halkenburg and benjamin, but he may do whatever the fuck to tease the next batch of chapters
>>288683013the upcoming batch is gonna focus mostly in benjamin killing princes
>>288681093Ponzu and Komugi are parallel one another
New HxH games?
imagine, as a spider, not even being able to take a dump in peace because there's a crazy clown camping the toilets
>>288683427
>>288683583Now getting good
>>288680855probably next month
>>288685058or a year
>>288683583Hisoka skin too
>>288685980>skinHe doesn't have that anymore
You now remember The Mumbling, huntersissies.
That release date sounds fake. There would’ve been direct news from jump, or a leak, by now
>>288683541They’d have to take dumps in formation like Australopithecus-kun
>>288688975nobunaga is probably on toilet guard duty
>>288689015poor bastard
>>288690174Noko with Killua shoe

>>288681803Volume 38 was a tribute to Toriyama
>>288693371Gohan = GonAngela = NokoVidel = Kalluto
>>288680638No Tse cover yet, cover might be Halk's funeral, Hisoka or Morena with the card game spread in a table
>>288693371Yes there's the nagging thought of what vol38 cover might have been
>>288680638It could be. Usually the cover is someone related to the last subplot touched on in the volume. I hope it's Balsamilco and Halkenburg recreating one of the We Need To Talk About Kevin posters.>>288681073Isn't this animation old? Why is everyone posting it now?
>>288690174Why are you gay?

>>288695647
Count your days Spidersisses... You aren't ready for HIM
>>288683055Kino, Togashi seemed to be in a mood to write twisted romances but we're due for some hard violence. I dunno how Woble's gonna survive at this rate>>288695647Sure
>>288697347I wonder how Hisoka will utilize his new power, he could make decoys and shit like Chrollo did against him kek
Pam
>>288698226Great character
>>288698341Still find it interesting that of all characters she's the one who gets the final confrontation with Meruem
>>288690174Bring out the cat bussy!
monki
>>288698569Cute gif. And yeah on one hand, Palm had the powers Meruem needed, but she's also a character that gets emotionally attached to people like Knov and Gon. So between being both human and chimera ant, she's in the best position to sympathize with and understand Meruem in that situation from every angle, a final witness to who the king really was.
>>288699179monika
When is volume 39 coming out,July 3rd?
>>288700485Saint Seiya was better.
Is jump trying to piss iff fans? What the fuck are they waiting for. I’m pissed. Everytime I search for new Hunter videos it’s New World review then a bunch of Arabic and Spanish slop
>>288701370Going by past trends, it'll return in 2-7 weeks.
>>288701370>New WorldNormieslop...

>>288702026Yeah, you should watch the other Hunter x Hunter YouTube channels, such as:
I think Machi's planet theme will be either Mars or Venus
>>288702257The Hunter Society is criminally underratedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuVv9ya4wjY
>>288702257He could be much more.
>>288701370They're saving it to buy time when they need to fill a slot, just like with Jujutsu Kaisen. Question is how many we'll get in the next batch since Togashi is just working through chapters.
>>288702257there's that one guy from here
>>288702257The problem with hunter YouTube channels is that they tend to be slop or mindless theories.There should be more analysis channels .Hunter is too good of a series for most of the channels covering it to revolve around “muh this guy might do this because of THIS power” and “Don is Gon from the future”
>>288702679the problem with hunter youtube channels is its been discussed to death and there's nothing to talk about when we only get releases every 2-3 years. that's an eternity in youtube time. you can't sustain a channel off a series that only exists for like 4 weeks every 2 years.
The last time Togashi released 20 chapters in close succession, he took a 4 year break. Be careful what you ask for .
>>288702965HxH gonna be finished before GRRM's two gay novel
>>288702965He also apparently didn't have much planned out back then but he promised us 50+ chapter continuity like 18 months ago
>>288702965The next 10 probably won't be soon since he's pretty much gone silent again. We'll get them next year if we're lucky.>>288703005Neither of them are finishing, but I'm surprised you dislike ASOIAF. It has some things in common and this arc was probably partially inspired by it.

>>288702965Togashi takes long breaks for writing, it seems like he's figured out that part, and his drawing setup is better on his back. I'm actually optimistic about this arc ending>>288704434I think Togashi realized he's not getting through succession, dark continent, and then having time for Gyro, so he's getting that stuff out through Morena>>288702821There's so many characters, they could upload a video about Rammot and people would watch, make it like anime vs. manga comparisons or something why not, the tourists would probably be interested in manga especially. That said, youtube is gay and talmudic
>>288705155>Togashi takes long breaks to writing When did he say that? I want an exact excerpt.
>>288704434She have kitchen?
Just leaked a little precoom while looking at Pitou
>>288702122Woah, she okay?
>>288706460They removed her pure heart which makes most people pass-out but she tanked it!
>>288705155Yesterday at work I realized there's a moment in the series that doesn't really make sense but by the time I got home I forgot what it was. Now I'm just sitting around combing through the entire series in my head, trying to figure out what it was. It wasn't something I had heard anyone talk about before. I want to say it was a plot point from somewhat early in the series, like Yorknew or GI.
meruen is a ninja turtle with a ninja turtle cock chanberif u put a little pressure on his penis baggie his dick will pop out like a weasel
>>288706609imagine sticking your finger down the penis hole

>>288706609ew i went to snuff out his ball sack in spirit and i saw insideIts a big pink worm and it sentient its moving around
It’s incredible how much better the current saga is compared to everything except the climax of yorknew and the palace invasion. The seeds of good writing were always there, but as someone who is a /lit primary succession war genuinely impresses me. Can’t believe there are retards who think the series Shoudlve ended on the tree with Gon and Ging. And I’m someone who thinks if Togashi had perfect health Gon would eventually come back, and I’d look forward to it.
>>288706609somebody draw meruem forcing down cumugis face on his nutsack with her snot drizzling in
>>288707004I used to scoff at the “you must read this before you read Hunteexhunter” memes where it’s a bunch of classical novels , and philosophical, political pieces. I got up to greed island thinking >okay, this is good well written Shonen, but this doesn’t explain why this fanbase sniffs its farts Got to the end of chimera ant, >okay, I get it a little bit But it still wasn’t enough. Until I got to succession war and it all clicked. Obviously those memes are still a little retarded but I can at least understand where they came from now.
CUMUGI is the perfect waifu for redditor san meruem because she cannot see him or smell himhow to win over meruem? be overly effeminate and helpless damzel good at vidya

>>288683143>died at the start of the arc and also died at the end of the arcTogashi's ironic poetry
"Capture the bombers"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dklltioFp-k
>>288707004>Gon would eventually come back, and I’d look forward to it.He's supposed to, the final arc is supposed to be gon/killua vs gyro
>>288703324>The next 10 probably won't be soon since he's pretty much gone silent again. We'll get them next year if we're lucky.They're pretty much finished except the last three . 2 of them are in shueisha hands, 5 are with assistants and 3 have dialogue then goes to assistants There's no drawing involved so i think we should get a 20 chapter batch imo
>>288707429but then again idk wtf is he doing. it took almost two months just to get the first two chapters from shueisha...so basically he did nothing in those (as far as we know) except talk to assistants/ shueisha Though hopefully he worked on the last three meanwhile but didn't update us
>>288707275Genthru will come back a redeemed man and will get Gon’s Nen back to thank him for everything he did
>>288705526It's just something I and others noticed, he's been on twitter since 2022>>288706601I'm sure it'll come up again naturally, yesterday I was thinking about some guy I was in a guild with 5 years ago but I only remembered his name today.>>288707087He really was a king
>>288705155>I'm actually optimistic about this arc endingits pretty much done in storyboardshe has up to 480 iirc
>>288707626Good enough for me. It means we’ll probably see the arc end even if Togashi dies
>>288707636i want him to storyboard dc toothough storyboard is not dialogue
>>288707626It's great knowing a lot of shit happens every chapter>>288707665Dark continent seems like it'd be hard to draw but he can just coast on the anime filling in the blanks like with chimera ant.
>>288707665Just accept the story won’t make it past the gatekeepers at Togashi’s age , health, and pace. He can make a good pseudo ending.> it is 2040. We see Ging and crew leave off into the Dark continent >the adventure continues !>HunterXHunter will be on hiatus indefinitely >5 years later, after complete radioSilence, we find out Togashi has passed swayThat’s exactly how I expect this series to “end” at a baseline
>>288707429411-424 were inked almost two years ago. 422-427 have been "with assistants" for three months. I don't know why you're acting like progress on these chapters are just around the corner. Why weren't they just around the corner months ago, dude? Your expectations and reality are not lining up here.Also, calling them pretty much finished is disingenuous. Background specifications are not backgrounds. The assistants still have to draw the backgrounds, so yes, drawing does still need to be done. And 428-430 don't even have specifications. Again, you can say, "Sure, but that doesn't take much time at all!" Where have you been all these years?When Togashi actually works, each step except dialogue takes a week or little longer. Dialogue takes a day, it's nothing. The problem is he isn't always working (or his assistants aren't always working). And no, when he's not updating xitter, it's not because they're all working in the background. He's never skipped an update. So the fact he's so silent right now means he has nothing to report. More chapters could be right around the corner, he could tweet tomorrow and prove me wrong, but he also might go silent for a year. This is fucking Togashi, anon.
>>288708224Agreed. I can’t tell if it’s newfags or just annoying ultra optimists who think >50 chapters are coming soon anon don’t think about it!
>>288708256The 50 chapters meme was from a tweet like a year and a half ago
>>288708057if succession at least finishes, we could get an anime relatively soon
>>288680638how does shonen jump allowed togashi to drop 10 chapters an year and then disappear for 2-3 years?
>>288709284Something about rights over the series. But Hunter makes money whenever a new volume releases so they have no reason to drop him from a financial perspective. They respect him for the impact of Yu Yu Hakusho.And he just refuses to be a slave. Kind of the opposite of Oda when you think about it
>>288709225I don’t even think this would work as well in anime format. Too much integral internal monologue and dialogue that would be shed to adapt and keep entertaining. Especially since Hunter is an uber popular show that casuals love. Imagine an anime only going from 2011 to the succession war where Gon and Killua are gon, were introduced to hundreds of new characters and there is barely any shonen style direct action
>>288698137I'm assuming he's going to go full Luffy and jst be effectively made out of bungee gum, making him immune to 99% of physical damage and also superhumanly strong and fast(even more so than he was already)Worst case scenario(for chrollo) he starts adding even more nen after death powers every time he's seriously injured or killed until his entire body is just a reanimated corpse glued back together by aura.>snap his neck>it continues rotating all the way around while he laughs at you>tear his arms off>he just puts them back on>set him on fire>he just pulls off his skin(it was just a piece of cloth)>drown him>he uses his super powered rubber lungs to shoot the water out of his mouth like a gunI think in order to really permanently kill him you'd have to flatten him looney tunes style with a road roller, crush him entirely into paste, or maybe dissolve him in acid.Either that or steal his ability somehow, which would presumably instantly kill him.
>>288710029can current hisoka beat one of the royal guard? Keep in mind that Knuckle + 30% morel pushed Youppi to his limit, Godspeed Killua was dogwalking 2/3 power Pufu. Pitou got fodderized by adult gon.Think Hisoka can take each of them on individually?
>>288710303It's hard to say, but I don't think he'd actually be very interested in fighting them, which would be a severe nerf to his performance.I think he could definitely fight them, and probably even come out with little to no injuries, but I'm not sure he could actually do enough damage to seriously hurt any of them.I think he'd get fodderized himself by Gon-san/Netero/Meruem, he's strong, but only for fighting humans, he's not they type of guy who'd make it very far in the DC.
>>288710355>won't fight ants cause beastiality But wasn't that only a pre-conceived notion that was busted by the end of the arc? Even by the middle of the arc, the ants had started gaining human-like individuality, by the end, you have youppi learning respect, Pitou learning empathy, Meruem literally learning love. I am pretty sure Hisoka wouldn't mind find fighting someone like cheetu for example, although dumb, Cheetu also only fights to test his own might
>>288710419What he wants is a personal relationship, which none of the Ants could give him.Maybe he could kill Komugi to piss off Meruem, but by the time that'd actually work he'd get fucking atomized instantly before he even had time to blink.
>>288710419That page was just Hisoka justifying his behavior to himself after the fact. He missed out on the ants, so he tells himself that he doesn't care. He also had no problem fighting groups until Chrollo threw a stadium full of people at him. Habitual liars like him lie to themselves as much as they do to others, if not more
>>288710495As far as we understand, Ants have a higher chance of wanting to have a personal relation with him, purely to to test their mights, we saw it with many of the squadron leaders, pitou, potentially youppi too as he started understanding his powers better. Meanwhile, none of the humans hisoka is interested in want anything to do with him. Originally the reason Hisoka was never able to fight Chrollo was because Chrollo operated with 3-4 troupe members by his side at all times since he didn't concern himself with Hisoka's game. Post nen-exorcism, he literally stalled hisoka for months so as to gather all pieces necessary to Kill Hisoka for good as he was becoming a pain in the ass for the troupe, again deeply counter intuitive to any idea of a personal relation with him. Illumi and the rest of the Zoldycks are the same, they don't want to fight just for the love of it. Kurapika, Gon and Killua don't have the same personally either. The only human who could have perhaps been a good candidate for such a relationship is Isaac Netero, but he would probably deem Hisoka too weak for his time. >>288710664this desu, initially the reason he didn't fight Chrollo was because he would have grouped him and Killed him, but he had no problems going after groups of bums at the start of hunter exam and many other stages of the story. Now that the threat of the DC is looming, he already has an excuse ready for not travelling to the DC
>>288707060fuck you. Greedo Islando was peak HxH.
>>288702295He could stand to shrink his videos a bit but he does decent stuff. I was a Mushasho supporter for SM for so long that the last batch hurt a bit. But I don't think SM is some group ability made by the maids either nor that Shimano is in on things. At this point I think the ability name [They were Eleven] is a misdirection by Togashi to trick people into thinking the user is someone in the room and it only refers to the role the doll fulfills as an infiltration tool. Because I don't think Furykov's observation skills got duped in this case. He's able to ping who can use nen and this includes unaware and subtly awakened users. If Shimano was a part of some group ability and had aura planted on her, it would make her look like Loberry did to Furykov. And if she had a long history with nen like Longhi he'd still know. So the only answers is either it is Belierente or it's someone outside of the room. And I think the latter is more likely and we'll see Silent majority somewhere else on the ship in the future. Especially since we have Hanzo and Tuffdy demonstrating remote abilities that still allow them vision through their puppets. They just model their nen puppets after themselves but SM has no reason to do so since it's goal is to be a covert assassin. Parading around as themselves would potentially out themselves if the possessed person calls them out by name before the ability can be dispelled.
>>288713485Silent majority will be revealed in Kurpaika’s second Nen class, whatever chapters that will be
19 days since last tweet. Give Togashi your energy for the 30 chapter batch cope.
>>288714414>inking complete
>>288714414I didn't realize this was a new tweet you were posting.
>>288714414Is that Feitan?
>>2887139022nd class gets interrupted by Martial Law. If we see SM again it will be in a different context than the classes.
>>288708224>he could tweet tomorrow and prove me wrongso... it's not over?
Reminder Nobunaga is going to get Phinks killed, because he didn't tell the pair about their abilities. Feitan is gonna stab Terebellum after allowing him to get the first strike, and fatally wound Phinks.
>>288716354The troupe are legitimately moving like retards this arc. At least in yorknew they’d never taken a major loss before. They’re moving the same way despite being on a giant boat with na unknown amount of nen users.If I were the troupe I would stick to groups of 5 and sweep through each tier>group 1 tier 3 and 5>group 2 tier 2 and 4If they don’t find Hisoka there. They all go to tier 1 and take turns raping Hisoka I hate plot induced stupidity
>>288716438This feels like par for the course to me. The troupe has consistently been pretty blaze about certain things and leaves stuff to their own devices. Like the group not jumping in when Uvo got jumped by the Shadow beasts or how they treated the raid on the Chimera Ant hive in Meteor city. They are a group but not as cohesive as a military organization so even Nobunaga almost forgetting to inform the duo about LSDF is in character.
>>288716599I get that. My point is that after>You get raped by the chain her , Hisoka and friends to the death of two important troupe members>Hisoka then kills two more important torupe members You should maybeeeee with things up slightly instead of being retards? It’s pure stupidity. Maybe that’s Togashi’s point. Their IQ is low because Meteor city shit but come on
>>288716887Maybeeeee change* things up
>>288712317>he had no problems going after groups of bumsThat was more of a situational/contractual thing, if anything Hisoka would have tried "orgies" and "beastiality" to know what he really wants is an intimate rivalry.>>288710029You know what, this may be how Hisoka ends up in a permanent state of battle, Machi also has a similar ability, so there may be some post-mortem nen shenanigans to make her or Chrollo (via his book) also psuedo-immortal to fight Hisoka.
>>288713485There's a meta problem with this line of thinking: nobody thinks it's strange the killer wasn't in the room during the initial killings. Kurapika and Furykov know the assassin wiped out Oito's bodyguards before the Nen classes began despite only Oito, Woble, Shimano, Bill and Kurapika being left in the room. This means the assassin doesn't need to be in the room to kill. They know this must be the case. And yet, they both independently come to the conclusion that the assassin is NOW in the room. Why? From a storytelling perspective, it must be because they are. You can't have two Nen masters independently come to the wrong conclusion and make them look dumber than the reader.>>288714414>>288716274Yes, I walked right into that one...
>>288717753Also, it wouldn’t be Togashi to do a closed room murder mystery where the murderer isn’t in the room. That sounds like something nisioisin would do
If succession war is this ambitious melting pot of all of Togashi’s favorite ideas and concepts, will the DC be the adventure /exploration equivalent ambition wise?
>>288716887The group is chaos incarnate. Yes, they can form plans but as Nobunaga says the "how" is left up to them. And they aren't really as concerned with Hisoka beyond the effect he's had on Chrollo since everyone just wants to go back to their carefree heists and wanton murder. I get they aren't acting as tactical as they should, but that's kind of the whole point being called out this arc. And it's a consistent element to their group. It's seemingly too late for them to change things up and start acting differently all because of someone they at best consider a speedbump. >>288718034>>288717753>nobody thinks it's strange the killer wasn't in the room during the initial killingsThe problem is that the only suspect that could have been present for all cluster of killings was cleared by two different people over the course of the arc. If it's shimano then she's such a nen master that not even Furykov could detect her when there's no reason she should be able to evade that. And she would have to be completely ignorant of this ability which is why Kurapika's lie detector didn't ping her. But if that's the case, then the internal thoughts for Silent Majority don't fit unless it toggles her state of mind whenever activated. And even in that case, it's likely Furykov would see something in her aura if he's capable of perceiving something as subtle as Longhi's contract embedded in Kurapika. At this point a killer outside the room is far more logical than one inside somehow evading detection this well. That or Beleriente really is the culprit.
I did an analysis on silent majority to find the killer and there’s so much little details man. How is Togashi such a fucking good writer? Silent majority is literally just a SUBPLOT.
>>288718446>It's seemingly too late for them to change things up and start acting differentlyMakes you wonder how they came to be like this, Sarasa's murder united them, and Chrollo had a specific plan to find them. But being rejects from meteor city, and Chrollo's own identity issues, they ended up with this decentralized model. It probably worked to keep them together til now, since they're all fairly stubborn and were shown to nearly go at each other after he got kidnapped. But they also care about/respect each other on some level, there's this whole dichotomy going on that only Chrollo may resolve when it's too late.
I’ve always wanted to ask this, but for people who think Sheila, or the elders, or kakin, or the mafia, were involved in the Kurta massacre , how would you reveal this in the story?
>>288718666>how would you reveal this in the story?During Kurapika vs Tserri vs Chorllo standoff
>>288718446The way the spider operates, they see themselves as easily replaceable. What's important is that people get the message that you don't fuck with Meteor City. As far as they're considered, they're already dead; they've already been thrown in the trash by society.>this point a killer outside the room is far more logical than one inside somehow evading detection this wellBut Kurapika and Furykov don't think so.>>288718521Like what?
It’s pretty obviously beleriante
>>288717753I think Togashi occasionally lurks these threads and likes to subvert anons expectations in real time when anons make assumptions about his progress
>>288719053>But Kurapika and Furykov don't think so.Kurapika was clearing people that could be related to the initial incidents when he questioned Bill (offscreen) and Shimano. Furykov suspected Longhi because it looks very suspicious if you know she can use aura but is hiding the fact. Keep in mine that Furykov still suspects it to be Longhi but we have no reason to believe she is lying about the snakes not being hers. Both characters haven't ruled out an outside assailant, but there's no way to guess who they could be so all Kurapika can do is stay on guard.
>>288714342FUARK....
>>288720194what the fuck was his problem?
>>288720344 (checked)He wanted him and his boys to be rich
>>288720344>what the fuck was his problem?Nothing really.He just played to win.
>>288720344
Are we finally mature enough to admit that hxh doesn't work without Gon or at least Togashi can't write it that way and discuss why that is?
>>288722477I think at the core of every story there is a character but really what makes a story compelling is the polemic between the character and the world. There is always a disagreement expressed in any and all ways. When a story has an antagonist he is "of the world" a product of it or a representation of it's rules and the protagonist breaks those rules, in effect changing the world in some way, big or small. Right now there is nobody that is in disagreement with the world, everybody we're watching is where they want to be, in a world the rules of which they obey. This is making the story not compelling. That is my opinion.
>>288722733>>288722477Hisoka and Kurapika filling in the “protagonist” roles is really cool IMO, the problem is they seem to be taking a back seat.
>>288722477It’s the exact opposite. Everything post election arc makes the rest of the series look like meager Shonen shit. Togashi should never focus on child characters
>>288722733Disagree completely. I wish Gon was kicked out sooner so we would’ve gotten more of Togashi’s actual writing capabilities. It’s not a accident that the best written arcs focus a lot of time on professional hunters or Kurapika (yorknew, ant, dark continent)
>>288720656a capable guy like that could've probably figured out a way to make money as a hunter without resorting to mass murder.i think he just saw the chances to get away with blowing shit up with no legal consequences and took it.
>>288722733Seems to me half the time it's flipped on its head. The villain is not of the world and the hero is.It's the difference between underdog hero vs dominant evil and peacekeeper hero vs insurgent evil.You don't get a moldbreaker protagonist when they have the establishment backing them. At best they're special and that's why they are chosen, but then they are put with a bunch of others who are also special who were also scouted by the establishment.Clearly HxH works as peacekeeper vs insurgent. all the forces they fight are trying to destabilize the current order, and they are fighting to maintain that order or just to make a load of money, but it's all done within and for the system.Closest thing we have to a moldbreaking protag is Killua since he is part of a secondary system (his family) that he is trying to escape.
>>288723061I think Gon is the clearest case of a moldbreaker. Just look at him jumping out of the ship to catch that guy or letting hanzo torture him until HANZO has enough. That for me is what made hxh immidietly interesting. Kurapika is cool, has aura, but I always thought of him as like an exposition machine. And he worked really well in Yorknew against the spiders because his character was made that arc but for whatever reason he doesn't feel made for the boat.
>>288722477No, because the current arc is one of the better ones and Gon isn't in it. The story of Meruem and Komugi is considered one of the best parts of Hunter x Hunter by pretty much everyone and Gon didn't really play a role in it.>>288722733You could easily make an argument for Gon being "of the world" and the antagonists being the ones breaking it. Who are the protagonists and antagonists of A Song of Ice and Fire that fulfill these roles of being "of the world" or breaking the rules? What about Pulp Fiction?
>>288723500>No, because the current arc is one of the better ones and Gon isn't in it.I obviously disagree.>>288723500>The story of Meruem and Komugi is considered one of the best parts of Hunter x Hunter by pretty much everyone and Gon didn't really play a role in it.Komugi fulfills the same archetype as Gon actually. She's a pure hearted simple wonderchild that enters a dangerous and violent world and introduces light into it with the power of her beautiful soul and extrodinary talent. It's a nice contrast because where she succeeded and won against the world Gon lost the exact same conflict.>>288723500>Who are the protagonists and antagonists of A Song of Ice and Fire that fulfill these roles of beingSorry, didn't read or watch or whatever.>>288723500>What about Pulp Fiction?Well from what I rememver basically all the characters want to escape their current existence. The killers want to quit, Bruce Willis runs away with his gf and Uma Thurman is escaping into drugs. The antagonist is the fat nigger and the city itself.
>>288723500Komugi is even an enhancer like Gon
>>288723659Why the fuck do you keep quoting me? Are you a tourist?>I obviously disagree.I know. I'm pointing out you have bad taste and so others shouldn't listen to you. I thought that was obvious.>It's a nice contrast because where she succeeded and won against the worldNo she didn't. She's one loss away from dying of starvation. What makes Komugi compelling is how she changes Meruem. She's not breaking the rules of the setting, she's breaking Meruem's rules; the rules of ants. Although, in retrospect, I think Meruem needing Komugi to realize people can have different strengths doesn't make sense because that's literally the entire point of chimera ants, they're each unique individuals who inherit the best properties of whatever animals their queen eats. So, you know...he should probably already know that.>basically all the characters want to escape their current existenceNot the guy with the most screen time.

>>288709284When you create two series that international bestsellers, they give you a lot of leeway.
>>288680858two more weeks
>>288724133>Concession extractedNo, that goes against what you said. Meruem didn't represent the world. He was an affront to the world. So were Hisoka, Chrollo, Genthru and Pariston. Hisoka protected Gon when the system would have killed him. Chrollo is a dark reflection of Kurapika himself. Genthru was an unintended aberration of the Greed Island system; he exploited flaws in the world, he didn't represent the world itself, and that's precisely why Gon held a grudge against him: Genthru was the rule breaker. Pariston did the same thing with the chairman election and he's going to do it again on the Dark Continent.>If you mean Travolta he's escaping the hierarchy of his mafia world by dating his boss's wife and diesHe didn't date her, though, he was just following his boss's orders. He told her to take her out to a restaurant so he did. Of course, your pseudointellectual framework is so vague and flimsy that you can simply just interpret his storyline as also fitting into it. Naturally.
>>288709284the japanese tend to be loyal to their legends. togashi's been a fixture on the magazine since 1987, it's hard to imagine him anywhere else
>>288709284After Yu Yu hakusho was a big hit, dragon ball and slam dunk ended. WSJ was on panic and gave togashi full 100% rights to HxH. The only time they ever did this and never did it again.They can't do shit to HxH because he simply can publish it anywhere he wants and there will be plenty of publishers who will considering it sells a shitton every time it comes back let alone merch for it.

>>288725509Togashi hates balck people
I feel bad for this entire trans franchise.
How long before Togashi starts using AI for his "art"?
>>288724480Truly Gon is Potential man, "if" and "when", but never "is".
>>288725570probably the last one who will ever do it considering he doesn't even want to hire an artist
>>288723939>So, you know...he should probably already know that.I think you are forgetting that Meruem came out of the womb considering any and everything not him as food that was beneath him. He tried to kill Pitou just for talking back and he didn't even care about the other royal guard beyond beings designed to handle all the busy work around him. Komugi forced Meruem to accept that he wasn't the best at everything and that humans can be distinct sure. So did Netero but we saw that Meruem at that point was still only really willing to spare some humans by essentially creating ghettos. But being forced to grapple with his identity along with his growing feelings of admiration and even love for Komugi wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't been given the harshest reminder that he was never as big a deal as he thought he was. It was that bomb to the face and the realization that he was going to die that managed to make everything click for him.
>>288681073NOBUNAGAI'M COMING TO KILL YOU
>>288725335Bro Chimera ant arc takes places in ant occupied territory. It's quite literally the setting and she breaks it's rules. You made my argument for me. Thanks.
>>288690174>>288706749eroi
>>288724480broke 6000 nen pacts, never drew a dime
>>288722477Nah, Yorkshin is a fan favorite arc and it was well liked even with Gon taking a backseat to Kurapika. Gon&Killua barely do anything in that arc except get handled by Machi multiple times
>>288726522
>>288726522Gon is a more entertaining character than Kurapika, but Kurapika centered arcs are the best in the series. Ant is in the top 3 and that’s more of an ensemble cast. I’d probably more interested in seeing Gon in the succession war (ignoring the Kurapika threads with the troupe and the 4th prince) over Kurapika, but for some reason the Gon centered arcs in this series are the worst in the manga by a landslide (Hunter exam, Heavens arena, greed island). I’d even rank election arc above those arcs and Gon is in his death bed for most of it
>>288726522>>288726749It's an adventure series. Gon doesn't have to be at the center for his input to be important, we explore the world from his perspective. It's an adventure series and for him this is an adventure. Without his presence, even just to witness the events and to grow as a person because of those events, the series lacks that relatable anchor. Kurapika is collected and knowledgable, for him nothing in the story is really new and exciting. I think this was an advantage of his character in yorknew and a big issue in the boat arc. I think he as a character and his backstory was designed for yorknew to be HIS arc but I don't get this vibe from boat. I feel like being on a boat on the way to dark continent of death with a royal psycho murder intrigue unfolding is actually a perfect scenario to throw in a stupid kid that has no special powers and watch him navigate that. That's just my opinion though.
>>288726896The protagonist doesn’t matter as much to me as in the other arcs. Yorknew without Kurapika would probably be shit. Greed island without Gon would be shit. Kurapika or Gon could be dead and we could focus on Tserriendich or Chrollo as the MC and the arc would still work great for me.Would it be as good as it is now? Probably not. But it would still be better than the rest of the series. The protagonist is what elevates this arc to the next level. instead of just simply being the best written/crafted arc in this series , the protagonist adds the emotional element that has the potential to make this a GOAT arc. Kurapika having to come to terms with protecting this woman and child while his sworn enemies are on the boat in a gigantic collision course on a boat that magnifies many elements of a civil war is more meaningful to me than whatever the fuck Gon would get into. (which, would still be great )

10th page rescue
i hate how the Troupe are basically near the very top and the world is too small to have many new equally strong characters
>>288736701We just got introduced to the kakin mafia factions, many characters in those families are stronger than troupe members. We also have the kakin family body guards who are very strong, also not all of the troupe is strong, Chrollo, Uvo, Nobunaga, Feitan, Phinks, franklin sure but after that its pretty grim
>>288737150>many characters in those families are stronger than troupe membersror rumao even>Chrollo, Uvo, Nobunaga, Feitan, Phinks, franklin sure but after that its pretty grimfuck you. Machi will kill Hisoka and Shizuku is pretty strong.
Why did togashi give komugi such a massive dumptruck ass
>>288737912I noticed that too, she has a cute belly too. I guess it comes from sitting and playing gungi all day>>288737199>Machi will kill HisokaI hope they both become psuedo immortal nen constructs locked in an endless battle, Machi deserves it for her crimes and it makes Hisoka achieve his dream. He has to win in some way because he's like the 5th protag
>>288738350>Machi deserves it for her crimeswhat did she do besides being too sexy?
>>288729424>>288730266These images are really shit quality, don't post any more. But yeah Pitou's hip and thigh game were at its peak in her final fight>>288726896I simply see the arc through Kurapika's POV, he is completely fucked over by having to protect a baby and have all his worst enemies be mobilized, next to all the other people that might kill him. So whenever we see other developments moving, like Tserriednich getting stronger, they're interesting on their own, but I also think "Fuck, how's Kurapika gonna get those eyes"
>>288738378The troupe is marked for death by several people because they're strong killers and thieves, so I just think they'll get a rogue's ending. When we see criminal types of characters survive, like Razor, the Zoldycks, or the chimera ants, there's usually some kind of karmic penance they have to pay.
This arc has the greatest potential of all time. But that doesn’t mean Togashi will reach that full potential. We’ve already seen him fuck up arcs before like 3 kings. Not to mention, I think he’s forgotten it’s a BATTLE Shonen manga. Random action skirmishes that last a couple panels isn’t a battle. Where are the 1v1, group fights, multi chapter combat, physical rivalries, etc
>Leorio gets to fuck this
>>288736701>i hate how the Troupe are basically near the very topIf the chimera ants arc is any indication, the Troupe is a big deal but not big enough to warrant a response from a national government. If they were then the Hunter's association or some mercenary group would be sent after them and they would fold in due order instead of just the occasional hunter or mob family. Trying to screw over Kakin as a nation is going to be their downfall funny enough.
>>288734210I miss Cammy
>>288737912Anime can make her look like a little grandma but Komugi is very cute and feminine in lots of manga panels
After watching 1999 and 2011, I struggle to pick which has the better atmosphere. 1999 feels darker than the manga, 2011 feels more lighthearted goofier.
>>288738427Quality is fine on the first pic but the 2nd one is a little blurry
>>2887405952011s OST is nice but repetitive, 2011 anime is twice as long as hxh99 but 99 somehow ended up having like twice as much of music, a couple 2011 songs end up becoming kind of grating
>>288740595Modern anime is just way too glossy and colorful to consistently do justice to the tone of darker shows
>>2887387213 kings could've had some great political intrigue to it, but Togashi had burnout. I'd guess he took the faction-war dynamics he wanted to do there and applied some of that to chimera ant, chairman election, and now succession, as the full realization of that. And sorry HxH is a battle seinen now.>>288739957Leorio deserves it but I think Kurapika would have a bigger cock, though it'd make sense if he's a grower not a shower
>>288740807Admittedly, upon rewatches I was surprised where some themes are being used. I associate the OST so much with chimera ant, I feel like it was used best there. Greed Island could've had more electronic music to convey the game vibe, Heavens Arena could've had more taiko and rock, but it worked at least.
wheres the fuckin cover
>>288741654
>>288741121>though it'd make sense if he's a grower not a showerhow did you come to reason this, anon?
Considering it’s clear Togashi takes time to outline and write, what would this arc be like if Togashi was still weekly? is this arc only this ambitious because Togashi can work on his own time?
>>288740595I think 2011 is the better anime overall due to plot reasons and disliking a lot of 1999's changes, but 1999 easily wins in the atmosphere department. Yeah 1999 is not really accurate with the manga, but 2011's neon bright colours are a bit too much and kill the vibe in a lot of places, whereas 1999 really captures that 90s/early 2000s jrpg vibe which fits HxH quite well. The atmosphere and vibes are honestly the best thing about 1999 to me.
In msot shonens that dada of the MCS would be of comparable power , but it’s clear Ging would make Silva look like a fraud
>>288742227Many hunters keep their abilities a secret, but Kurapika has a running theme of deception. From pretending to use real chains, wearing contacts, light crossdressing, to the layers of skills he's got - even at an emotional level, he's played many roles not natural to him for the sake of revenge. So I think it'd seem like he has a feminine penis, but it actually becomes imposing and masculine when he unleashes his true power.
If Togashi plays it straight then this arc can end in 50 chapters. If one of those “this changed everything!” Scenarios happen, like the sinking theory, or Morena nen after death, or some other thing happens, this arc won’t ever finish
>>288743212I noticed that body type sometimes plays a role into ability, muscular people like him have a lot of raw destructive power. People with skinny bodies or weird forms have niche skills, not necessarily support kinds. And then there's people like Ging and Hisoka who have toned bodies, and seem to be flexible types. So a fight between them may come down to how quickly Ging can counter Silva
>>288736701Hunter x Hunter has been that way since the beginning. The first arc introduces us to Netero, Hisoka and the Zoldyck family, and mentions the Troupe who appear two short arcs later. Hisoka, the Troupe and the Zoldycks continue to appear in most arcs, each one appearing in 5 or 6 out of 7 arcs. It makes the world feel unbelievably small.
>>288737150The Troupe bodied the Shadow Beasts. The Shadow Beasts were the strongest Nen users in the mafia. It's been 2 years, but there shouldn't be anyone in the mafia on the ship right now stronger than Shizuku.>>288738721>Where are the 1v1, group fights, multi chapter combat, physical rivalries, etcThose things don't exist in the rest of the manga but for some reason you thought they would in the political assassination contest?
>>288743497Togashi’s biggest mistake was election arc side character wise. I could forgive the greed island side cast feeling like a bunch of tutorial nameless jrpg characters.But the hunter association looks like shit in the election arc. It’s pretty much the zodiacs and everyone we were introduced to prior. Everyone else is a faggot jobber no name nobody.It’s even more astounded because the arc RIGHT after Togashi introduces 100+ characters who could all be interesting, entertaining side characters and nen users, but he couldn’t do it In Greed island or the election arc.
>>288742445As someone who was introduced to HxH by the 2011 anime I find that its bright kiddy tone actually works in its benefit because by the time I got to Chimera Ants the shift was so off putting it freaked me out in a way it wouldn’t be able to if it was super gritty from the start
>>288744632Honestly as someone who also started with 2011. I never got this. My bright tone whiplash started in yorknew when The mafia got raped/massacred and uvogin mutilated people.Whenever friends told me chimera ant shocked them I just went “how didn’t that happen for you in yorknew?”
>>288744657Yorknew is violent, but the sense of dread CA instills is different, it feels like the difference between thriller vs horror. The music in CA also played a huge part in setting the atmosphere.
Would any modern MMO let you keep the username Nigg?
>>288718666Tser, as an educated collector, would have files detailing the provenance of each pair of eyes.
>>288743497I think it drives in how rare talents like Gon and Killua are, and also that nen can still be used creatively for great effect. The troupe are at the top because they've got skill and probably aura.>>288743602Some people think the hunter association will be more important in dark continent, along with other characters being underutilized, but I'm also willing to wait to see the arc through. Lots of rooms to do more with other people
>>288745075Gun Gale Online>>288744854Early CA really was full of dread, you were just watching a massacre slowly unfold and have to accept that no one's coming to help for a while. Even Netero's team had to take things slowly to keep on the downlow, because the royal guards were spawning.
>>288745408That's not really true, though. Gon and Killua spent the entire series being told that they're strong for their age but they're still outmatched by adults with a lifetime of experience. They didn't stand a chance against Shoot and Knuckle and they're like mid tier hunters, and that's pretty much their last arc. Also, the point was that characters like Hisoka, Illumi, Zeno, Silva and the Troupe are top tier and they get introduced immediately and then refuse to leave the story, so it's like following kid superheroes trying to fight adult supervillains and twice an arc someone like the Avengers, X-Men or Fantastic Four show up to either bail them out or show off against jobbers. We rarely get to see mid tier characters solving problems or high tier characters who weren't introduced 300 chapters ago. I think if I voiced this complaint to Togashi, he'd tell me I'm wrong and the world is full of interesting Nen users of all skill levels, and I would believe him - but he willingly chooses to NOT include them in his story for who knows what reason.
>>288745645Killua would rape most characters. He speed blitz and one shots 97% of the cast. Also u might like the current arc. It’s filled with mid and low tier nen shitters doing stuff
>>288745728Anon, I've been reading the manga since 2007.
>>288745645Talent is how Gon and Killua keep up with experienced adults, the stakes are there because they have to figure out how to maximize nen to help them win like with Razor, Genthru, or Pitou. I just pointed that out to explain why there aren't that many top tiers. These arcs still have plenty of average nen users they have to get through, maybe they could've had more importance? At the same time, the plot would practically revolve around the top tiers, and it still works because there's other overarching narratives going on, the top tiers you pointed out don't really show up or play a role in an arc the way you're making them out to.
>>288743559>The Shadow Beasts were the strongest Nen users in the mafiaSpecifically they were the nen user each of the 10 families put up as their representative. Kakin's mafia isn't strictly speaking weaker when it comes to nen users, but they aren't an international crime syndicate either. I'd say Hinrigh alone would qualify as someone that could be a Shadow Beast purely off the utility of his hatsu, much like Owl did. I doubt a lot of the troupe right now would have a response to a grenade turned into a rat crawling under their beds. >>288743497This ignores a couple points about the world. All of the examiners during the Hunter's exams are supposed to be vetted members. Same with the other proctors or shadows during the badge hunt. They are clearly stronger/more capable than the average hunter. The same happens in the Chimera Ants arc where we are introduced to Shoot, Knuckle, Palm, Morel, and Knov who are also clearly above average. The Pure Paladin squad aren't supposed to be weak either; they just had the misfortune of going up against Hisoka/Illumi. So being shown that the average hunter isn't exactly up to Hisoka's fighting standard shouldn't be an issue. We knew that temp hunters existed and were a cut below the cream of the crop. And then we got a hard number to put that to, being almost 1/3 of the association's ranks. Other than that it's not like every player on GI was super impressive compared to the top-tiers any more than you should expect every hunter's association member to be. And the current arc kind of solidifies that. You had someone like Sayird fall for a basic bitch trap with Free Bear. But Bill is comparably more competent while still clearly being a mid-tier hunter at best.
>>288742341Probably would be kind of sloppy and not as text heavy, doubt it would have as many named side character or indepth internal monologuesEven chimera arc took 8 years to publish through WSJ which makes sense with how thorough the palace invasion is - doubt either of these arcs would be near as thorough with the details
>>288738501Well Razor is essentially just a nen battery now, its not an great fate>>288745645You are massively underestimating shoot and especially knuckle. They're like the 80th percentile, maybe even 90th. A mid tier hunter would just instantly die to youpi, you need all manner of aura control survive against that royal guard. They're both like pre-masters. My point is Gon and Killua are insane. Togashi uses them to show the Gulf between strong hunters and top tier nen masters. They are Spider tier by the end of CA.
>>288746908Killua is above troupe level. He one shot rammot and is faster than everyone. The only people above him right now for sure are Ging and Beyond.
>>288745645>but he willingly chooses to NOT include them in his story for who knows what reason.He has been introducing like 5 characters every ten chapters for a while now and it's starting to make people worry that the arc will never end
>>288747006KilluACK
>>288747043>brings up yorknew Killua when tlaking about CA Killua At least get better bait Machifag
>>288737199Machi idk, shizuku was having a tough time defeating soldier ants which were basically fodder for Killua and Gon, so no. >>288743559Shadow beasts were fodder obviously but they dont represent the entire world wide mafia, its already implied that kakin mafia works in a very different and secluded manner compared to rest of the world. Nobunaga already started respecting Hinrigh Biganduffno so he must be pretty tough. Also Couldn't even breakthrough that lawyer nen user in Morena's hideout. You are either severely underestimating the other characters or severely overestimating the troupe
You also have to remember that Uvogin is no longer alive, losing a master enhancer like him has hit the troupe like a truck, which was otherwise a very well-rounded group with all basis covered.
bump
If Gon/Killua gets retconned and no homo-ed I hope some disgruntled fujo does a Kyoani on Naoko’s ass.
>>288747126>shizuku was having a tough time defeating soldier ants which were basically fodder for Killua and Gon, so no>Also Couldn't even breakthrough that lawyer nen user in Morena's hideout. You are either severely underestimating the other characters or severely overestimating the troupethose are examples to show the power of nen. Shizuku managed to pull through eventually.
>>288743263>>288742227Kurapika is a sub trap until his Red Eyes trigger and he switches into BDSM dom mode.Yes this means you'd have to join the phantom troupe for him to top you.
>>288747154It's kinda funny that Uvogin would totally hard counter Hisoka and would have naturally been the one to play guard during the Chrollo fight since his abilities wouldn't be affected. Kurapika really fucked them over bad, all the dead members so far are indirectly because of him and it's possible his single action will destroy the entire Troupe.
>>288748724nobunaga too, since he is an enhancer, don't know why he wasn't the one to fight hisoka
>>288748768Isn't Phinks basically just Uvogin 2?His ability is basically just brute power, with higher end potential but slow windup
>>288747126>shizuku was having a tough time defeating soldier ants which were basically fodder for Killua and GonPike was an Officer and Zazan's, a squadron leader's, right hand man. That Shizuku beat him while not being a major combatant within the troupe says more for her than it does about him. He was by no means weak
>>288748854he did boast that his web couldn't even be broken by bihorn who was the physically strongest squadron leader
>>288748906Yeah, Pike's webs are effectively Bungee Gum and he's a fairly big guy as well but still coordinated despite his simple mindset. Getting wrapped up or even caught off balance is going to be a death sentence against him.
>>288748809No phinks is physically weaker, moreover his nen ability takes a lot longer to charge, unlike Uvo who could basically go ham form move one itself. I also assume that Uvo also had the highest aura reserves out of anyone in the troupe. This is not to say phinks is overall weaker than uvo in power scaling or anything but his win conditions are probably much harder to achieve when fighting serious opponents, also Uvo was stated to be the most profecient enhancer after Netero. In general, my point wasn't about who will win a 1v1 but rather what Uvo's presence offered to the troupe, which so far they haven't been able to replace, I don't count the Zoldycks since they are clearly written as fifth columnists
>>288749543>Uvo was stated to be the most profecient enhancer after Netero. He was? When? Hard to imagine with Maha Zoldyck still being among the living.Phinks was second to Uvogin in strength but we don't know by how much. In any case he's probably monstrously strong since Hisoka already is strong as hell yet outdone clearly by Phinks who is also an enhancer.
>>288749574>He was? When? Hard to imagine with Maha Zoldyck still being among the livingIn picrel, Maha isn't even rated, neither do we know his nen type. He didn't even appear anywhere besides that one panel in manga and 1999 anime, they didn't show him 2011, its certainly plausible that Togashi may have dropped the character altogether>Phinks was second to Uvogin in strength but we don't know by how much.Going by his pure Physical Presence its hard to imagine him being close to Uvo in strength>In any case he's probably monstrously strong since Hisoka already is strong as hell yet outdone clearly by Phinks who is also an enhancer.Probably, but since Hisoka belongs to an entirely different category of nen, his physical strength isn't even as important, its just an added bonus for him. But for enhancers, stronger body is a very crucial attribute.
You niggers are NOT ready for Borksen's hatsu.
>>288749778All it shows is that Uvo is on par with Komugi in proficiency. You don't understand the chart. It just shows certain chosen plot important characters and their level of proficiency to give an idea of where these characters are at, it's not a top 5 or anything.Maha is stated to be an enhancer in the official guide and as far as Chimera arc it's mentioned by Zeno that Netero is literally the only man to have ever survived him, so obviously he wasn't dropped.
>>288749895There was also the Zoldyck family chart as of the election arc where he was mentioned
What exactly is wrong with Fuugetsu? Do you think she got cursed by one of Camilla's guards?
>>288751387No, that would make one big curse, and would likely kill quicker
>>288751421>and would likely kill quickerNot necessarily since we're told a Have-not curse sent from range is weaker and takes longer. And Fuugetsu's symptoms match what the curse is supposed to accomplish by forcing her into zetsu and then exposing her to the curse's malice unguarded.
>>288751387Now that I think about it, maybe the next volume will be team Fuu vs team Benjamin. Because both of them are cursed/poisoned, and Tubeppa can supposedly save them, or at least one of them. If Pika's deal goes well, he might have to be involved too.
>>288752450Yes, I think the most likely explanation is that Fuugetsu was exploring with her power after Kacho died (she mentions this) and she briefly a peek into Camilla's room. Naturally, her soldiers noticed this instantly, wasted no time accomplishing their mission, and hit her with a death curse.
>Togashi had to last minute nerfed Knov otherwise he would've just banished the king and the guards to the shadow realm
>>288752492>I think the most likely explanation is that Fuugetsu was exploring with her power after Kacho died (she mentions this)Her GSB did seem to undergo an evolution in that it allows her to go places but only return to her starting location if Kacho/Nencho isn't involved. And getting into Camilla's room wouldn't be impossible since we know Fuu can translocate to places she herself hasn't been before (most likely because her GSB has literally wormed it's way throughout the ship)The only thing I question is whether she actually went into Camilla's room, or if an unforseen change in the upper-tier changed the plan from targeting Woble's with a curse or targeting other princes regardless of the delay in the curse. I think Fuu doesn't quite have the stones to enter a prince's room but maybe she went back to her own and got hit with bad timing.
>>288747043Shartllu really thought he was going to kill Godchi here, like he really thought he stood a chance
>>288752707I don’t think it’s a nerf. I think knov is naturally a coward. His ability is literally an ability that lets him escape and hide. Only a pussy would have that type of ability.
>>288753647its not cowardness, I thought that too, later on I realized that the reason he was scared shitless was because he was in fucking Zetsu the entire time in his operation and ended up encountering one of the deadliest auras in the world of HxH. For reference, Killua and gon were scared shitless from Wing's aura itself in Heaven's arena, pre awakening. Pitou's aura made a nen-active Killua doubt his entire existence
>>288753904>because he was in fucking Zetsu the entire timeNTA but You can't see aura while in Zetsu. That's why Gon couldn't see the puppet controlling Kite for example. Knov may have reduced his aura output but he was still using aura at the time he saw Pouf's en and had his breakdown. Knov simply was not as psychologically tough as Killua in this case which isn't a slam against him, but I agree with that anon that someone making a teleportation ability like Knov's is at the very least going to be a more cautious and flaky person. His Scream ability shows he's still a fighter as well, but even after he used it he was willing to bail on the mission because his nerves were getting to him.
>>288753980>You can't see aura while in ZetsuYou can still sense aura in zetsu afaik
>>288754061But Knov specifically says he saw it. You might claim that as a translation error but on top of him looking at the aura he was setting a warp point at the exact moment meaning he can't be in zetsu as he was exuding aura for his hatsu.
>>288754061mfw not killing a spider for 5 days

>>288754190proficiency doesn't directly translate to strength as the guide says. kortopi and komugi could obviously be crushed by less proficient nen users because they're overall more fit for combat.it just means that Zeno has maxed out his potential while chrollo still has room to grow and improve his use of nen
>>288754176The fun of being on an anonymous forum.
I can’t wait for everyone who hates the SW and only still reads the DC to get pissed when we spend volumes just doing texts of analysis on DC plants/sleeping routines/etc, and constructing plans to avoid calamities with relatively little classic action or adventure.
>to demonstrate the power of nen I will now wreck my own walllmao what a retard
>>288754453Only still reads for* the DC
>>288752979>The only thing I question is whether she actually went into Camilla's room, or if an unforseen change in the upper-tier changed the plan from targeting Woble's with a curse or targeting other princes regardless of the delay in the curse. I think Fuu doesn't quite have the stones to enter a prince's room but maybe she went back to her own and got hit with bad timing.Fuugetsu is a kid who knows jack shit about nen. She'd surely be afraid of Benjamin in general, but is probably naive enough to think she can use her special power to get away with spying on Camilla. I don't think Camilla's people were planning to curse her ahead of time, but if the opportunity to kill a prince falls into their lap they would obviously take it. There's no hard proof of this yet but I do think it's the most likely explanation for her condition given what we know so far
Doesn't Knov misinterpret things during those scenes, he was in close proximity to Poufs aura but G&K were only next to Pitou's aura. I always imagined Poufs en aura was like a hundred times scarier than Pitous because its more dense and contained compared to Pitou's giant radius aura
2 weeks until the next volume releases. I guess the media campaign will start this week.?
>>288754502>She'd surely be afraid of Benjamin in generalNeither Benjamin nor Camilla can't contain their belligerence compared to older siblings like Zhang or even Tserriednich. I just don't think even in Fuugetsu's crazed state that she would willingly enter Camilla's room directly. I can't completely dismiss the possibility either though since we have no idea where she was exploring or what she was up too. But Camilla gets intel from Queen Duazul so if Fuugetsu got seen on the upper tier by any other security personnel, it might have gotten back to Camilla's group fast enough to warrant sending a curse and Fuu got tagged while she was far enough away to get the long duration. There's also the fringe case that the spirits possessing her are something she picked up in the Justice Bureau since we know Kaiser is working against the upper tier, and possibly other people are as well. That one is more a long shot since I personally don't want Togashi to misdirect Hell Fruit's usage, but it's also worth considering.
Crazy how many times you can just talk about the same thing. Literally every one of these threads is just a copy and paste or rewording of shit that’s already been discussed. Makes me wonder what the fuck the ASOIAF fanbase talks about
>>288756255every single thread or you will ever make or have ever made on this chan has already been discussed somewhere else, but it doesn't matter, I like thinking and discussing Hunter Hunter, that's all that matters
>>288756698The thing is there’s interesting things to discuss that’s barely discussed. It’s always some 1999 vs 2011, Gon/Killua should be here, powerlevel arguments, etc.

Was Pouf actually even strong? He never really did anything to prove it despite his attitude and threatening he would kill Youpi and Pitou if their goals misaligned. Killua completely humiliated him and he had to resort to trickery to beat an exhausted Morel. Was he just delusional?
>>288758418YesWe don't need to go through every little detail of the series
Can hxh return be announced 1-2 weeks before it happens or is 1 month a minimum interval between announcement and return?

>>288746276Let me restate what you said to me:>The world does have a spectrum of decently skilled Nen users, they just job to the same top tiers who show up every arc out of the blue. But it's not a big deal because those top tiers never actually do anything.Sounds like they do the very thing I'm complaining about, anon.>>288746908That doesn't make sense. "In order to show just how strong the top tiers are, let's compare them to these really talented children." Imagine if I wanted to try to get you to understand just how good of a guitarist Jimi Hendrix was. Why would my comparison be some talented 13-year old on TikTok? That's a terrible comparison. No, good comparisons are characters you already know are and should be strong. Togashi does this with Kite and Pitou. We learn how strong Kite is just so he can job to Pitou. That lets us know how strong Pitou is. See? That's the thing you're trying to describe with Gon and Killua, except Gon and Killua don't do that, because Gon and Killua are weak because they're kids, but they're really talented kids, but they're still new to Nen, but they have an outlandish background, but they lack fighting experience, but they've been rubbing elbows with top tiers, but but but but - this is not what Gon and Killua do for the story, we can only gauge Gon and Killua's strength by looking at everyone else.For the record, I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing or anything like that, I just don't know why you keep saying it when it isn't true.>>288747017Almost all of them are new to Nen. The problem isn't characters, it's the distribution of Nen users.

>>288762976>Let me restate what you said to meok>The world does have a spectrum of decently skilled Nen usersYes>they just job to the same top tiers who show up every arc out of the blueEh, not really. If your complaint is that Hisoka and the troupe shouldn't have been on Greed Island and the entire exorcist sub plot should have been off-screened or otherwise detached from Gon and Killua's narrative. Or that there shouldn't have been an aside where the Troupe dealt with some stray ants that nested in a lawless and undocumented area. I can see where you are coming from. But the former allows us to see Abengane in effect as a proper exorcist as well as give Gon a valuable ally for dodgeball before moving on to Genthru. And the latter makes Gyro's arrival in Meteor City logical since Zazan already arriving there leaves that door open. >But it's not a big deal because those top tiers never actually do anythingThe current arc is literally the consequence of these "top tiers" doing things. Netero's intervention and subsequent death in the Chimera Ants arc paved the way for the Beyond reveal. The Troupe assassinating the 10 Don's led to Kakin's mafia being able to take control of the underworld for this voyage. Illumi and Kalluto's presence is a consequence of the former's tenuous partnership with Hisoka as well as the troupe losing a bunch of members. And we're getting more about the temp hunter situation established in the CA arc with the reveal of Beyond's personal DC exploration unit which unfortunately don't have their time to shine amidst this political intrigue which is a whole new wave of nen users, some of whom credibly will be eliminating members of the Troupe. The way I see it, each time we bring in the "top tiers" we still get new stuff to the world, the narrative, and flavor of the story.

>>288765412She was so ominous and creepy before the card game. Now she’s just a rape victim crying out at the world. The only antagonist still as ominous as they were initially presented is probably Illumi. Ging knocked Pariston down a peg on that end. Hisoka is too goofy sometimes for the initial dark creepiness to stick. Chrollo is a close second. But seeing him broken down and emotional kills some of it. So it’s probably just illumi right now. Even in the goofy/casual moments he’s had you can just see his blank puppet face and say >this dude just isn’t right in the head Even in his last moment of the election arc he’s still drunk thinking about getting while his other family members have just accepted Killua being with Alluka Can’t wait to see what Togashi will do with him
>>288765648Part of it is that the closest thing Illumi’s gotten to a humanizing moment is when he wasn’t to kill Hisoka over a Killua. But we don’t get any tragic backstory like chrollo/morena, no signs of anguish and extreme revenge like Hisoka/chrollo, no sense of a person that exists in the real world like Tserriednich, no fun like Pariston.Illumi would fit perfectly as the main villain in a horror arc
>>288765648Moerena's motivations are too realistic
>>288765648>Now she’s just a rape victim crying out at the world.If anything, seeing that she can be pleasant to talk with while simultaneously harboring all that rage makes her more dangerous to me. The revelation about her backstory just adds to her menace, not detracts from it.
>>288758418he tanked a hit from the king, he must have been tough.I think the main reason why he didn't kill Morel outright was because he was cautious, perhaps he knew about nen after death or expected a trap otherwise.

>>288763921I'm fine with keeping half those things, it's when they're all piled on that it feels lame, or even unbelievable. Listing out how all these characters keep reentering the story is like looking at an incestuous family tree where the same fucking names keep coming up over and over again. It ruins all potential for new, interesting characters. It's unbelievable that the MC just so happened to run into like every top tier character at the beginning of the story, but then they won't fucking leave: the Shadow Beasts need to be replaced with non-jobbers - Killua's family; Netero needs help infiltrating the palace - Killua's family; Gon needs to be healed of his Nen vow - Killua's family; there's open spots in the Phantom Troupe - who do you think they go to? I'm fine with Hisoka's inclusion in pretty much every part of the story except I feel like at least one needs to be ditched and it should probably be Greed Island. Come up with a new fucking character. Imagine if Gon, Killua and Biscuit met a talented Nen user who was chilling out on Greed Island with his NPC wife or something and they try to recruit him to fight Razor and he eventually gets convinced because he may have a wife, but he doesn't have kids, and seeing Gon and Killua play the game awakens paternal instincts in him he didn't know he wanted. Doesn't that sound a little interesting? I just made up, right now. Hisoka should've gone on his own subplot in the background to find an exorcist who later joins the Troupe. A new character, Togashi - someone who won't die in two pages, please.>The current arc is literally the consequence of these "top tiers" doing thingsI was being sarcastic, but I forgot why.>>288767902They don't show that, though, but the top tier adults are better than them. Gon and Killua lost to Knuckle and Shoot, who are the students of Morel, who was talked about like he's mid by the Zodiacs. They were at the mercy of the spiders and they only beat Genthru through planning.
Maryam is by far in the best positions of the princes. He has Bisky, Hanzo, and other hunters. His nen beast keeps him safe and sound.Maryam’s existence almost grantees to me that multiple princes will survive. Because there’s 0 chance Togashi would choose between woble and Maryam, and I don’t see how he dies when Bisky and Hanzo are on his side especially since he’s not being targeted.
>>288779418I think he might dieKacho fucking died, several children died in CAAlso, his ability makes it basically impossible for him to win, so the longer the war goes on the worse it gets for him

>>288778304kalluto is weird but technically he's wearing a furisode which was also worn by boys in the past, until westernization. so he's not really a cross-dresser but more like really old-fashioned
>>288779260Look, you are falling for the bias I'm talking about in your own post. You are legit, calling Morel, the person with one of the most busted, versatile hatsus we've ever seen, mid tier because they are tangentially related to Knuckle and Shoot. And then you are furthering this bias because the legit top tier hunters we know about , are call him mid. This is the tyranny of the perspective of the strong. Hisoka thinks the Zodiacs are mostly mid too. It has nothing to do with the zodiacs or Morels actual position on the spectrum of what we know about hunter's strength. But thats just what Gon and Killua do to people, they make everyone look mid
>>288781244>It has nothing to do with the zodiacs or Morels actual position on the spectrum of what we know about hunter's strength...yes it does, do you not know how storytelling works?
>>288781244I'm pretty sure Morel calls himself mid too (on land). In his own environment he's top tier, but the story doesn't really focus on sea battles
>>288781244NTA but it’s pretty clear that if we go by Hisoka’s scores.Most people we interact with are 70+: the extermination crew, zodiacs, Razor, Troupe, Genthru , shadow beasts, etc.Almost all of these guys are recall high tier if you go by range. There probably aren’t much notable characters in the 40-70 range, which would be the mid tier range

I really want Hisoka to kill chrollo and then puppeteer his body using bungee gum

>>288783001I hope the zodiacs do something in the next 10 or 20 chapters, I need to see some more top level huntergirl nen
>>288783122i'm afraid ging, pariston, zodiacs, beyond, etc. are on ice until DC. simply too many characters with on-going plotlines to be able to slot them into the action
>>288781450Jesus you're like one if those people who unironically believe Netero was only at half his prime before fighting King just because he said so 100 chapters prior. In storytelling there is a concept of show don't tell, the story shows us how absolutely broken Morel is. >>288781497That's exactly what I'm trying to say! Thank you
>>288783247>Netero was only at half his prime before fighting King I mean he probably was. It's just that half of him was still insane.In his prime he survived the dark continent
>>288783247I also just don’t think Togashi is as power scaler conscious. Based off morels feats and statements “being 30% at the palace invasion”, a 100% morel should very easily be a zodiac level combatant who can have a good fight with top tiers like Illumi, Chrollo, Hisoka, etc
>>288783029With her pussy abs?
when are the getting a volume cover
>>288779260>t ruins all potential for new, interesting charactersIt doesn't ruin them otherwise more people would be complaining about Shoot, Knuckle, Morel, Knov, All the princes, Morena, etc, etc, etc. >It's unbelievable that the MC just so happenedIt's unbelievable that Frodo Baggin's uncle was the one to hold the one ring for decades, and that Frodo was good friends with Gandalf the greyIt's unbelievable that Luke Skywalker was the son of Darth Vader and was acquianted with Obi-Wan Kenobi for many yearsStories are built on convenience, the complaint about the world being small hinges on ignoring when other characters bring in new talent. Netero didn't just need Zeno's help, he also brought in 5 new characters who all pulled their weight in the arc but you laser focused on just one of them. >Come up with a new fucking characterTogashi did make them. Tsezguerra, Goreinu, Biscuit herself, Abengane for the bomber subplot as well as the Troupe plot, Genthru and Razor for antagonists and a bunch of other lesser characters. Hisoka didn't shrink the world because he showed up and neither did the other troupe members. >Doesn't that sound a little interesting?No. It sounds boring as shit compared to hisoka using his bungee gum creatively in a dodgeball game>someone who won't die in two pagesThis isn't even some widespread problem. Togashi isn't just serving up every new character to older ones. The only real moments are the shadow beasts, which serves a narrative function. And the Pure Paladin faction who were clearly in over their heads. Do you honestly think the world feels smaller while we're balls deep in Kakin's succession war when they only existed at first as a country employing Kite that stopped mattering 2 chapters after being introduced so we could hunt bugs back near York Shin?>I was being sarcastic, but I forgot why.Nobody can tell that stuff over text when you are being otherwise sincere with the rest of your post.
>>288783156I thought that might be the case before the last batch happened but I can see them getting involved is Beyond pulls some shit
>>288783392Morel's feats are mostly in supporting others. He lacks offense.Anyways it's like Morel himself says to Killua, there is no clear means of determining who'd win a nen battle
>>288783587You’re right. Chrollo vs Zushi would be a real head scratcher. No clear means of determine that one
>>288783587>Morel's feats are mostly in supporting others.NTA saying he would be "zodiac level" since we don't even have a concept of what that would be given the limited information available when it comes to combat. It's basically Misaztrom using part of his hatsu once and Ging copying Leorio because he's that good. Morel's smoke is still probably the most versatile hatsu in the series to date, but he might still be lacking in the personal power and authority area that the Zodiacs also probably maintain along with having a high degree of combat proficiency to be Netero's sparring partners. But Morel's support feats include laying siege to an entire capital city for days on end by himself while swatting away puppets like they were ragdolls and fighting two Chimera ant officers by himself back to back. Then hard carrying 2/4 of the invasion plan on his wide shoulders since he was instrumental in delaying Pouf's machinations as well as saving Knuckles from Youpi. All so he could still support people the next arc by using his vast resources to setup an entire temporary hospital wing just for Killua and Alluka to save Gon. It's not on the level of Ging being considered on the level of a national figure, but it's still impressive.
>>288783580Cluck's clucks
>>288783639Hunter X is the one series where Zushi could have a chance to asspull if he turned out to be a crazy kid with a ton of potential and a willingness to waste it all like Gon
>>288783814When you think about it though, he had no means to finish off the Chimera ants on his own. So he relies heavily on being able to support someone who can. Or the opponent being a dumbass like Leol who hands him, a Sea Hunter, a winning condition.
>>288783910>he had no means to finish off the Chimera ants on his ownNobody could have finished off the Chimera Ants on their own. Even Netero had to invoke a literal WMD to accomplish that feat and Gon had to basically kill himself and his potential just to take out one royal guard. But you know who credibly could have taken out their assigned target on their own that the story also credits? Morel. It's not like Knuckle's would have done it on his own assignment if Killua and Morel both hadn't intervened.
>>288784026That's because both were desperate to help the people outside though. In a 1v1 with no outside considerations, his ability would only amount to stalling the fight.Ultimately defeating Pouf wasn't even an option because it would've led to several deaths had he not been able to support the rest of the team.
>>288784206You act like I'm saying Morel is stronger than Pouf and not that Morel being propped up by the narrative isn't an objective fact because of his strength, versatility, experience, and intuition. He can be a support nen user anon. I've not once contested that. I'm saying the man is still top-tier even in that capacity because he's earned every accolade he got. And going back to what he says in >>288783587 this is the essence of nen combat. It doesn't matter if Pouf could one-shot him on his best day. He fought a fully powered Pouf on his worst day and still could have secured the win. He just backed out faster and it was the right call because it saved his friend and pupil. Which again, is basically a miracle in the story but also a product of how good he is.
>>288680638fucking finally
>>288784275I've never contested that he's a great nen user either. But as far as being a fighter. a duelist and fighting someone like Hisoka or the Zodiacs, etc. with no other considerations, that's not really his game, and he's very aware of it. He doesn't have many offensive moves, even if he has an incredible kit overall.He didn't go in expecting to actually defeat a Royal Guard either, he was planning to trap one. Pouf just took a huge gamble which could've given Morel a chance to win (although it would've been a Pyrrhic victory).
>>288784456Really?
>>288784552WSJ for issue 30 just leaked.
>>288784456If this is true, why did they surprise drop it? Usually we’d have a few weeks between announcement and chapter
>>288784598Yes but are there any other sources then this twitter clout chaser?
There should be enough time for a storytime of the SW if we do a volume per day, right? Though with the new captcha thing someone might not have as much of a willingness to do so.
Why the fuck would they not announce this early? I don’t even feel like rereading now. Fucking jump retards
>>288784551>I've never contested that he's a great nen user eitherSo why are you bringing up shit like whether he could have ended the Chimera Ants? Not even Zeno, Silva, or Hisoka could do that without massive nerfs on the ant side. Netero couldn't either as he hit Pitou full force and all it did was send her flying and she was on her way back. It took a non-nen Bomb to finish off 3/4 of the ant upper echelon and a suicidal MC to handle the remaining 1/4>He didn't go in expecting to actually defeat a Royal Guard eitherAnd yet he could have done it which is my only point. It stood as a testament to his own philosophy on nen combat and also showed how his other aspects helped him continue to carry the arc.
>>288784618jump's done with togashis bullshit and just don't care anymore?
>>288784791Probably. Seems like Hunterchan is too. Two decent leakers have said Hunter is back and there isn’t a celebration? Maybe tomorrow
Borksen and Morena killed the hype. Trust the plan, this batch will revive it.
>>288785018Knowing Togahsi we’ll get 5 more chapters of those two chapters playing an alternative version of that card game
20 chapter run?
>>288785084Not likely, but I could see two groups of 10 in relatively quick succession (Heh)
Hisoka will marry Machi
2022:10 chapters Year no chapters 2024: 10 chapters Year no chapters 2026: at least 10 chapters? 2027: ?
>>288784456Shueisha broke the emergency glass immediately because their single remaining non-OP golden child is taking a two month hiatus.Quite an unceremonious return but I don't really care. >He was Gon, now he's back!
>>288785435So what was their initial plan then? They were just holding Hunter chapters in their back pocket but Kagurabachi hiatus made them drop it? Who do I have to hold court with at Shueisha?
I can’t wait for the greatest plot twist in manga when the truth of the Kurta massacre is revealed
>>288784676They clearly went in with the idea being that someone like Gon or Knuckle can defeat a Royal guard, if provided enough support. Morel himself doesn't have those types of offensive tools.Also Netero obviously has stronger attacks than that, it was merely intended to displace Pitou.
>>288785461Just stockpile them for a rain day or until Togashi hit 20 finished chapters.>Who do I have to hold court with at Shueisha?The current editorship that is desperate for a new hit
I just hope the threads recover to mid 2010s level . It’s so weird how when anime is bigger than ever in the west, this board is at its lowest point activity wise.
>>288785493we stopped caring about kurta clan 200 chapters ago
I hope we get to see Morel operate on water before they reach the Dark Continent. I want to see more of him in his home turf.
>>288785590This is Kurapika’s arc though…about him retrieving the last eyes of his clan
>>288785562>They clearly went in with the idea being that someone like Gon or Knuckle can defeat a Royal guardAll their plans were literally half-baked. Knuckle's has to hope his opponent had human levels of aura and Shoot had to hope that he could injure a target enough to shrink their whole body. Gon and Killua had to hope they could take out someone that killed a vastly better hunter than them even with Gon driving angry. Morel was going in solo since his partner was mindbroken by Pouf. And from the very beginning thanks to the Dragon Dive and Knuckle's ability to intuit aura amounts we the readers knew this was going to be an uphill battle with a steep slope. Netero knew that people were going to die and I don't think he was fully bluffing when he told Meruem that nobody else might be alive that knew his real name. It's literally a miracle that Netero was the only casualty on the hunter side of things.>Also Netero obviously has stronger attacks than that, it was merely intended to displace Pitou.Just like how Meruem intended to displace Pitou's head from her body that one time? You can't tell me he held back with his buddha palm for a single second. Netero swings for the fences
>>288784456Fuuuck chapter threads again, finally
Hunter x hunter is over lol
>>288784456
>>288785783>Netero swings for the fencesNot really. I mean he obviously saved the best for last, for the King.He just wanted to have a good fight.
>>288784456yay
I don't think anyone in the entire hunter society could defeat a royal guard 1 on 1, not even Ging, and I don't think this is really controversial?The Chimera Ants were setup from the start as a civilization-level threat that makes humans totally obsolete. Nen as a system has hard limits, and the Chimera Ants were supposed to be the peak of Nen mastery. Even Netero the strongest human alive would probably lose to any of the royal guards, and only survived as long as he did against Meruem because of the latter's curiosity towards humans and inexperience. It was like a cat playing with a cockroach.That said, it's strange they didn't send any of the Zodiacs to assist in a fight that would have resulted in total human extinction if they failed. But I guess the logic is if Netero + a nuke couldn't do it the Zodiacs wouldn't be able to do shit.
>>288786044> I don't think this is really controversial?I mean yeah because we see one member of Hunter society literally toying with a Royal Guard
>>288786044No, netero could have wiped every ant other then meruem at his peak, and ging could take a royal guard
>>288786007>I mean he obviously saved the best for last, for the King.Zero palm isn't the same as him holding back. That's a hail mary attack and he was already told that someone like Pitou was too much for him. It's crazy to think hitting someone so hard they were flying kilometers away was holding back out of consideration for a later opponent when Netero can literally throw thousands of attacks at full force without losing significant stamina. Nice cope anon
>>288786044Did you forget hax exists? A full potential Halkenburg or Tserriendich is so hax busted. Or even just Chrollo with the right set of abilities. Or maybe just Knov and the chameleon.
>>288786109He would hit Pitou with those thousands of attacks instead of sending them flying if he really intended to dispose of them.He literally just told Pitou to piss off so he can get to Meruem
>>288786078I don't think Adult Gon is really a fair comparison since it wasn't actually him at his "peak" but actually a sum of all the aura he would ever have throughout his entire life packed into a few minutes. That's why he lost access to his aura afterwards and it couldn't regenerate. No one in the hunter society can consciously asspull that much aura.>>288786093If Netero could have killed Pitou he would have done so.>>288786125Tserriednich has to enter zetsu to use his ability and I don't think "full potential" would change that since it's a condition for his ability being so busted. Chimera ants have completely superhuman senses that would make a "normal" man with precog/timeloop abilities still unable to do much. Pitou was able to extend their aura for multiple kilometers to sense literally every living creature around. I don't think even Tserriednich with timeloop shenanigans can win against that since he doesn't have the physical strength to "beat" Pitou even if he can escape death. His only option would be basically what Netero did, or relying on someone else. I guess inevitably he would find a win but it would be like the 1 out of 10 billion possibilities he'd have to go through to find a wincon.Halkenburg maybe wins depending on how his ability works. They have such superhuman reflexes that I don't think Pitou would get hit with his arrow, and the blowback of the arrow causes him to die if he misses. But if he somehow setup a "guaranteed hit" then sure.Chrollo is just the ultimate "what if" character since you can invent hypothetical abilities for him to win with. Chrollo with Halkenberg's ability could do it if combined with a disabling ability to guarantee a hit. But then you're getting into fantasy "SSJ5 Gogeta" territory.I guess my point is, Chimera Ants are so superhuman that a nuke was the only possible win condition for the strongest fighting force on the planet. There is no fair fight against Chimera Ants.
>>288786224>If Netero could have killed Pitou he would have done so.If he could have killed her in one hit you mean?He was entirely focused on his fight with the king, and once he launched her he had no reason to believe she would get in the way of thatAdditionally, in nen combat nothing is ever certain. He should have been avoiding fights like that which could needlessly prolong themselves>I don't think Adult Gon is really a fair comparison since it wasn't actually him at his "peak" but actually a sum of all the aura he would ever have throughout his entire life packed into a few minutes.No, he was at his peak. Nen can't timetravel, that would be stupid
>>288786215>He would hit Pitou with those thousands of attacksThose thousand attacks within less than a minute only happened when Netero and Meruem had been going at it for a while and had reached the crescendo of their duel. That doesn't mean any individual attack from him is supposed to be weaker than the rest on any opponent when he's using his hatsu. >He literally just told Pitou to piss off so he can get to MeruemWhat in the world convinced you he wasn't trying to kill her in that moment besides her survival. Of course he told her to piss off, even Colt said he wouldn't be able to beat her but does that mean he held back for no reason at all when going all out doesn't negatively impact him in the slightest?
>>288786383>No, he was at his peak. Nen can't timetravel, that would be stupidNen can do almost anything if you set a harsh enough condition on it. Gon being an enhancer which are naturally specialized in buffing their own bodies, and setting the condition that he'd sacrifice all of his nen for the rest of his life, allowed him to access it.Also, Tserriednich and Neon's abilities are time travel lol.
>>288786450>Also, Tserriednich and Neon's abilities are time travel lol.Neon and Tserriednich have precognition. That's not the same as time travel. Gonsan is likewise a nen infused enhancement contract based on sacrificing life and potential. We don't actually know if Gon at his peak would be exactly like that, it's just what he got after months of saving up his anger.
>>288784456suicide POSTPONED
>>288786483Precognition suggests Nen is able to access time as a metaphysical plane and interact with itself on that plane so it's pretty similar to transferring aura. Gon's transformation is also not strictly speaking "time travel" since he is just boosting his own aura through a time-based Nen contract rather than "stealing" it from his future self even though practically they are the same thing. It's more like asking for a loan and paying it back with your entire future earnings. Which is why Gon is not technically prevented from being able to get his Nen back, he just needs to find a new source of aura. If he can "pay back" the loan through gaining a new massive source of aura then he'll be able to regenerate aura again after fulfilling the Nen contract.
>>288786597>Precognition suggests Nen is able to access time as a metaphysical planePrecognition is the exclusive realm of specialization within the canon of the story. Gon is an enhancer so his aura can't see into his own future meaning what he got is only a result of the same multiplication formula Izunavi laid out arcs ago. He didn't take out a loan, he made a contract with the following limitations>sacrifice my ability to use nen overall>sacrifice my body as well putting my life on the lineAnd the end result was Gon-san. This could have been more or less than his actual adult peak and we'll never know. >Which is why Gon is not technically prevented from being able to get his Nen back, he just needs to find a new source of aura.According to Gin. There would be divine retribution if Gon tried to get his nen back. These kinds of contracts cannot just be walked back. It's like saying Kurapika can get a refund on all the years he sacrificed for his own ability just because he changed his mind afterwards. Best case Gon gets infected with a nen beast like the kakin guardian spirits and he can start his fullbringer arc.
so gon is going to be written back into the story as a hunter hunter when the DC expedition obviously goes south, right?
>>288786661There will be a timeskipTrust the plan
>>288786762ok, i'm sure it'll happen along with the reveal that gon has no mom because ging used the greed island mpreg card on himself to test if it workedi'll trust the plan
>>288784456I am in disbelief, I've been waiting. I almost don't want to believe it in case it's false.
>>288784456Oh man, I needed this, been having some very rough year so far.
What do you mean next week?I guess they were only missing that colored illustration
