Meruem did nothing wrong.
He killed a child for no reason. Didn't even eat the kid.
>>120753366
He ate the kid though, not completely.
Hisoka should've been in CA.
>>120753587
He would've died
>>120753286

>actually low tier trash compared to the shit on the dark continent
>>120753803
Are you implying that the other hunters that are involved in ca are better than Hisoka?

Morel is probably the strongest of the group to raid the palace.
>>120753587
>star is greenish
>>120753934
>star is purple
>>120754148
I'm implying that Hisoka would bite off far more than he could chew.
>>120753286
He din do nuffin' he was a good ant!
>>120753934
that's why HxH is now shit though. The power levels were fine as we got to witness the progression of Killua and Gon, but now both of them are entirely obsolete - so is the rest of the world - ~5 hunters in the class of Gon's dad + magic asspull characters like Netero's Son - and the dark continent means ambush after ambush and an entirely new setting that will never make any contextual sense.
I honestly wish the series had just ended with Netero's death
>>120754279
He's got those jojo colors going on.
>>120754367
The series should've ended with Gon's death, and after bug arc. Everything after that is all just an afterthought. Especially Alluka and the zodiacs.
The series was written to be concluded at the end of CA and Togashi wanted to continue it.
>>120754367
I don't think you understand what asspull means, the world is a big place of course there is a lot strong people especially in Hunters Association
>I honestly wish the series had just ended with Netero's death
you are not even trying
>>120754367
>>120754468
I don't see why you guys would want the series to end after CA. There is still so much to be seen. The Dark Continent hasn't even been touched yet, you have no idea how good or bad the arc will be.
>>120753366
He ate the kid for nutrition.
>>120754367
>>120754468
>>120754367
>Implying Gon and Killua will not return
Gon will become a villain mark my words.
Also Togashi will kill Leorio and immediately take a hiatus.
>>120754661
>Gon will become a villain mark my words.
More like Killua will become a villain. The main 4 are untouchable and unkillable.
>>120753934
dark continent is a whole different kind of danger. Meruem will still be the strongest single combatant in the series.
>>120754468
>The series was written to be concluded at the end of CA and Togashi wanted to continue it.
Now you pulling things out of your ass
Lots of headcanon going on in here
>>120753934
It's like Yu Yu Hakusho all over again with the demon world and classes.
>toguro(strongest guy at that point) was only b-class
>actually there's a-class and s-class demons out there
>mind blown
>>120754775
Explain how everything that happened after CA was foreshadowed in some way. Zodiacs just came into being and their whole reason for not being involved was because "Netero didn't want it". What a cop out that was, and then you have things like Alluka. Togashi basically thought to himself, "Well, I kind of made him destroy himself, I'll need a charaacter that will completely heal him back to his normal state because I don't want to see him dead"
>>120754468
umm ok you're right
He honestly never did any real building, and that's the problem with the series progression: no real perspective.
>>120754605
Dude you're dumb. We've already witnessed the top class of the world and its been implied many times that they wouldn't be on par with Netero --> therein, there is no 'talent' in the association worth mentioning for the coming arc ( dark continent ) and any very strong characters have to be with the top 5 assessment ( by Netero ) of control ( that gin is part of ) or they are basically asspulls.
>>120754642
The point is there wasn't anything to be seen...
>>120754661
> killing leo
Why though? Just to make Gon angry? I personally don't believe Gon is a 'good guy' he's too personally apt for that. His senses and immortal/indominable-will will force him to make a judgement on the rest of humanity - the humanity that chooses to 'not' stand up for their ideals, to risk death for them. And Killua's influence isn't going to help that. The value he places on people diminishes with every chapter...
>>120754835
You get it. That's why powerlevels NEED to be set from the start.
>>120754709
Killua was the light amongst hunters during CA arc, Gon was the jerk.

Hunter skill levels during CA arc.
1. Netero
2. Gon-san
3. Morel
4. Killua
5. Teleport guy
6. Knuckle
7. Shoot
8. Regular Gon
>>120754869
>Explain how everything that happened after CA was foreshadowed in some way
First chapter.
>people actually believe togashi back surgery story and he'll be back soon
>>120755060
I was talking about morality anon to others Killua was the light,
>>120755060
Teleport guy didn't fight anyone and had a mental break down. I'd switch him with Knuckle.
It's hard to say how strong regular gon was before transforming. I fully believe he could have killed Pitou before he went gon-san. He was most likely on the royal guards level at that point, then after raging, ascended to kings level for overkill.
>>120753366
He ate her brains but he could have killed more humanely.
>>120755158
Well, then everything is foreshadowed.
>>120755158
this is why the series was intriguing because the world building was mythical and open ended. But that's why it is bad writing to simply add the entire world in when you've run out of bad guys.
There's tons of presumed magical creatures and a host of hunters keeping them in check, exploring, working for the government - those all check out and were reintrigrated in the CA arc through all the different tv news declarations, and the world government. But to call that forshadowing the ultimate ass pull ( you couldn't see the true world yet ) is just lying bro.
>>120755228
Cutting someone's head off is the most human way you can kill someone. In most cases they die instantly without feeling pain.(nerves dont send the pain signals to the brain fast enough)
>>120755219
He has high skill level, although weak mental fortitude. His nen skills are more support than anything though, but a strong support at that.
>>120755158
so they can asspull characters that would instant kill the world because that shit?
I just finished 2011. Well? Where do I go from here?
Can I fuck Kite?
>>120755219
>I fully believe he could have killed Pitou before he went gon-san.
no way
His fully charged jajanken didn't even annihilate her skull in one hit. Sure it was still a one hit kill, but kid Gon wouldn't accomplish that. He'd need to land multiple hits but it's not like Pitou is just gonna sit there, she's too fast and Terpsichora might've been overwhelming for regular Gon.
>>120755219
that's absurd and you're stupid for espousing such a fanboyish opinion. Your opinion dimishes your respect for Gon's character too. The point of the arc was that they had no chance, and Gon had to sacrifice 'to-beyond-the-grave' ( greek myth torture level ) in order to fight. Need I remind you that ascended Mereum is stronger than Pitou?
>>120755371
Read the manga.
>>120755308
The CA arc started the same way, just expanding the universe and dumping a new set of bad guys into it. Foreshadowing isn't really Togashi's strength but it doesn't affect the quality of the series anywhere near as much as some people think. It's not a big deal if we haven't been aware of DC until now, it won't make the arc any more or less enjoyable and it doesn't mess with the logic of the story.
>>120755339
But slowly sauntering up to her after murdering her parents before doing so probably wasn't.
>>120755408
>comparing kid Gon's technique to Gon-san's technique
That's already ludicrous, we saw how people assessed Gon-san's power from afar and it was on young Netero's level, so kid Gon's power is many times less than that. Because of power differentials the fighting potential of Kid Gon is zip with that much of a gap.
>>120755474
There is only about 8 chapters to read after the conclusion of the anime.
He should probably move on to Togashis other work.
>>120755371
Read from ch 340 complete them and then welcome to the hell of hiatuses, which involves rewatching and re-reading
>>120754869
You know what happening in every single series existed exist or will exist? NEW CHARACTER WILL BE INTRODUCED, so oh we didn't saw they earlier and blah blah is not a argument.
As for aluka, how is togashi creating a hax character implies in any way that he was planing to finish the manga at ca?
>more Kurapika
>more Leorio
>Hisoka vs Gon
>Illumi vs Killua
>Hisoka vs Lucifer
>Kurapika vs Spiders
>What happen to Lucifer?
I can think many more, does this looks like a series that is about to end to you?
>>120755524
The manga is better, so he should read it.
>>120754279
now it's yellow
I am all caught up with the series now and am already regretting my decision to read Hiatus x Hiatus before it actually ends.
>>120755548
I don't mind a new character being introduced, it's just everything about Alluka seems thrown together. However we do need resolution with Kurapika and the troupe. However we don't need Gon alive to do that.
>>120755548
those are all great points of interest... but the series has thrown all the built up interest into the trash bin to pursue the 'Dark Continent'.
>>120755548
>does this looks like a series that is about to end to you?
It looks like a series thats about to be discontinued or put on an infinite hiatus.
>>120755650
How does he change it so much? It's almost like he has magic powers or something.
The Dark Continent shitposting is getting out of control. There wont be anyone stronger than Meruem there, calm down guys.
>>120755676

>Not much is known about Brion's abilities, but according to Ging Freecss the level threat of Brion is A, like that of the other Five Great Calamities, this is even greater of that of the Chimera Ants.
>even greater of that of the Chimera Ants
Of course there's no way to know if he's talking about being greater than meruem, greater than the royal guards, or even squad chimera ants. If he means as a whole, then they're definitely more dangerous
>>120755992
I don't think you know what the world completely means.
>>120753934
>>120754748
>Meruem will still be the strongest single combatant in the series.

I mean, hell, they'll probably be bringing the strongest known (and possibly unknown) nen erasers/nen healers and shit just in case they can maybe save some people on the expedition.
Does this not sound like something Lucifer would be interested in?
Spiders would be interested in for getting lucifer better? Or even just the spiders trying to hijack the goodies like miracle cures?
Ok now quick name an anime (except hxh) which the main character of the series never make eye contact with the villain of the current arc
protip: you can't
>>120756261
The villain of the current arc was Pitou anon.
So the teams are like this for now:
Zodiacs:
Defense Team:
Botobai ( He's like a Soldier )
Kanzai
Saiyu ( ! ) ( Swordsman )
Science Team:
Cheadle
Geru
Sanbica
Leorio
Intelligence Team:
Saccho
Mizaistom
Piyon
Kurapika
Flora/Fauna:
Ginta
Cluck
Expedition Team:
Defense Team:
Golem ( A "person" inside the robot )
Marione ( Lolibot )
Mascher ( Soldier under the orders of Murher )
Muher ( Boss of the mercenaries )
Beyond Netero
Flora/Fauna Team
Pekotero
Gourmet Temp Hunter
Intelligence Team:
Curly ( Proffesor, interpreter just like Piyon )
Pariston
Science Team:
Juhnde
The guy with his sister in the hospital.
Ging ( He's an archaeologist )
Ging is neutral but can change if Beyond does something wrong.
More people can be added to both teams.
>>120756170
If they're more dangerous, then it only makes sense that they're more stronger.
I don't know, having an entire special force destroyed in an instant by one monster seems pretty fucking strong.
>>120756310
Saccho ( Swordsman ) noy Saiyu.
>>120756310
It's going to be interesting to see Togashi handle all these characters
>>120755308
>But that's why it is bad writing to simply add the entire world in when you've run out of bad guys.
It's not like they just suddenly discovered the dark continent at the end of the CA arc dumbfuck, the hunters have been going there for hundreds of years.

Best song coming through.
Any theories on how the calamities make people lose their sanity and how Alluka wasn't affected?
The DC arc and the characters it's highlighting look really interesting. I hope it at least starts again before 2016.
>>120756735
No one has a gauge on Hisoka's strength. I would say he's probably on the same level as Ging. Considering he directly stated he wanted to fight Netero, it's safe to assume he would at least be able to fight equally.
>>120756875
HxH 2022 is going to cause a shitstorm.
>kite not eaten by queen but kept as pitou's play thing
>somehow gets reincarnated as redhead who likes swordplay
I'm missing something aren't I?
>>120754148
They didn't choose the strongest hunters to fight the chimera ants, they chose the ones with the most well suited abilities to deal with them.
>>120756632
Was he erect?
>>120756941
Kite was eaten by the queen, his body was kept as pitous play though, the brain not intact.
>>120756920
I don't even know if I'll live that long
Or more importantly, if togeshi will
>>120756941
Her brain was eaten.
>>120756899
You think Alluka is sane?
>>120756941
Ging said his ability had some part to play.
>>120755762
magic powers that specifically apply a film on his body that can switch color at will.

Realistically I wouldn't be surprised if HxH 2022 is actually a thing. Look at the time gap between HxH 1999 and 2011.

Ging just said that Kite would not give his life up for another person.

>>120756941
the whole reincarnation thing was BS.
chimera ant kite may have kite's memories, but they are still 2 separate beings.
>>120757156
What about Kite's reincarnation power that Ging mentioned
>>120757204
>believing a word Ging says
>>120757204
I don't remember a reincarnation power.
>>120757025
How would Ging know that. He wasn't even sure what actually happened.
The thing he said about Kite's ability is obviously true, but it might not have had anything to do with his reincarnation. Other humans that got eaten retained there memories without any special abilities, so obviously Kite did it too.
>>120757110
Only to cute shotas
>>120755060
Gon-san is stronger than Netero though.
Gon-san = King before the Rose
King before the Rose > Netero
At least according to Pitou. Therefore, Gon and Meruem were both stronger than Netero.
>>120757224
wat
>>120757227
He says the reason Kite was reincarnated is because of a power he has. Presumably the number he pulled right before Pitou kills him
>>120757071
He says a bit more than that.
>>120757239
>The thing he said about Kite's ability is obviously true, but it might not have had anything to do with his reincarnation.
Then Togashi wouldn't have mentioned it.
How did Kite get that girl's body anyway? Didn't those ants tear it apart?
This continent seems pretty hype on the worldbuilding part.
I want to see how Togashi handles the snake that turns people murderous.
Maybe have it infect a hunter, turning him into a serial killer?
>>120757317
He got such an ugly body too.
Re-reading the Yu Yu Hakusho manga really put into perspective how shit Togashi is at telling stories.
Goddamn was it as infuriating as the first time I read it. I instantly realized why I had forgotten how it ended. So many timeskips, so many asspulls, so many outright contradictions, so much bullshit. God DAMN.
>>120757239
See >>120757303
He taught him his ability.
>>120757327
>Maybe have it infect a hunter, turning him into a serial killer?
Killua?
If Alluka brought Kite back to life via her wish, then what about the reincarinated kite? Two souls? Doesn't make sense.
>>120757404
If it infects Killua, it'd probably show something stupid like how Killua already had murderous desires but suppresses them.
I mean, he was pretty sadistic at the start of the series.
>>120757341
What if Togashi winds up pairing loli Kite and Gon?
>>120756941
>>120756979
Fucking piece of crap. Well Kaito still alive,did not help that a character like pitou die and gon stay like shit
/sp it could revive? ;_;
>>120757453
A better question is, would it be gay or straight?
>>120756960
No, just soft.
He didn't want to scare Gon and Killua away.
>>120757315
?
Ging isn't omniscient dumbfuck. when Gon was apologizing to Ging about kite Ging says "You didn't clearly say he was dead or alive, but either way you should apologize." how would he have known that Kite had his brain eaten by the ant queen and used his super special reincarnation ability that can only be used in that specific situation? The ability is obviously something completely different.
>>120757341
Her face is cute, but I don't like how she's shaped like the number 1.
>>120757345
HxH is much better written than YYH in almost every way, he improved and got more control over his work.
>>120756960
>two little boys (Gon) in front of him nakedwhat do you think
>>120757345
I'm sure he maps out his stories before writing them, but as he actually gets into the detail/draws it, he probably realizes better ways to do things, which ends up leaving plot holes and so on.
It's a problem with any long-running shonen.
>>120757432
Alluka isn't a god.
>>120753286
He wasn't as perfect as pic related
>>120757538
Yes, but my point was Togashi wouldn't have written Ging to mention that at all if it wasn't relevant to Kite's death. You're parsing it as if it's real life, when it's a story.
>>120749389
>Actors don't get plastic surgery so they can fit their role in a movie, anon. The most probable theory is that it's all makeup and cosplay.
Actors don't play just one role, you fucking spastic. The Zodiacs do.
>>120749730
The more I read the worse your arguments seem
"What about Tsubome?"
I don't see how this is even an argument, she developed an ability with conjuration that uses materialization, you say they don't even need an ability to change their appearance.
Please, just shut up with your head canon bullshit.
>>120757494
I don't think you should think of human Kite and ant Kite as the same person. Ant Kite just has human Kites memories.
>>120756960
>>120757345
>>120757582
I watched the first 2 arcs of YYH and it was a fine shounen battle thing. There weren't any overt flaws, but it wasn't very remarkable either. I'm dumbfounded that the person who wrote YYH was also behind Chimera Ant.
>>120757625
It doesn't say anywhere that bringing someone back to life can't be fulfilled.
>According to Killua, the degree of wish that Alluka can grant is probably infinite.
Assuming hunter x hunter uses souls for reincarnation, then I imagine CA Kite's soul would return to original kite, along with any new memories.(killing CA kite)
>>120757582
>got more control over his work.
And that lead into endless HiatusxHiatus.
But yeah, plenty of elements in Yu Yu Hakusho feel like editors meddling with Togashi, trying to make his manga more popular.
Feels like Togashi wanted to do the Ghost Detective bit for a long time but the resurrection got rushed out the door. Then he became a Spirit World Detective but that got thrown out the door in a handful of chapters too, turning the story into yet another pure fighting manga.
Post Toguro Togashi admittedly lifted the psychics from another mangaka but that was also thrown out for more simple fighting.
And the Makai arc is just a holocaustic mess.
>>120757432
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>120757658
Perfect timing to foreshadow a hidden ability, so it doesn't come off as an asspull later on.
>You're parsing it as if it's real life, when it's a story.
So you're saying because it's a story, a character cant be wrong? Even though Kite died because he underestimated Pitou? Interesting.
>>120757432
There is only one soul, Kites, it's in a new body now.

I agree, though I could see enough similarities that it was unsurprising. I really loved the characters in yyh and it had good fights, but it was very standard in comparison to hxh. I just hope he doesn't end hxh in the same way.
Is HxH worth it? Seems like it'll never actually finish. I hear the 2011 anime ends at a satisfying point, so I'm tempted to just watch that and then pick up the manga if it ever finishes.

No.
>>120758317
Togashi already has all the money he could possibly need.
>>120758082
>Implying watching the anime is bad
This is one of the rare series when the anime is more enjoyable than the manga, the illustration gets so fucking lazy by Togashi, some chapters are ruined because the drawing is so bad.
>>120758317
I don't think Togashi has a problem with money.
>>120758147
>Is HxH worth it
It's a weird shonen battle manga.
It has a fun and fairly interesting power system that's introduced pretty late into the story.
It has good fights and setups for the fights (I particulary liked the Greed Island arc which is essentially a videogame).
The characters are decent, though they're not very developed and a couple of them just drop out of the story.
It's also a light read. I would recommend it.
I didn't watch the recent anime adaptation but from what I saw here it's pretty good. I'd still pick the manga over anime, though.
Am I the only one who actually enjoyed the '99 series and OVAs? 2011 was still way better, but '99 wasn't nearly as bad as some make it out to be.
>>120758362
Something. Anything. Surely for enough money, Togashi will do something.
I am dying from no HxH. I've collected every volume, watched the 99 series a bunch of times, currently rewatching 2011..
>>120758385
>>120758398
What is it that he wants then? Why hasn't he cancelled the manga already?
>>120755650
I always wonder if Hisoka will actually end up being Gon's friend or he's actually going to kill him.
>>120758389
>This is one of the rare series when the anime is more enjoyable than the manga
The only people who believe this are the 2011 newfags who pretend they've read the manga.
>>120758147
Watch it, some parts might actually have you in tears. I marathoned it and the CA arc with Komugi literally hit me pretty hard. It was too beautiful.
>>120758317
The hiatus is not a money thing, he already get a lot of money for do nothing, and have some health problems. I don't think he would start drawing again just because some weebs offer him some cash.
Also advertising any other website is a bannable offense.
>>120758438
>What is it that he wants then? Why hasn't he cancelled the manga already?
He hasn't canceled the manga in case he ever needs more money. It's an insurance policy.
>>120758374
I knew I was gonna get this reply. I've had this argument many times before but I'll just reiterate.
>downplayed Leorio
Leorio isn't very relevant in the first place, removing one or two lines of characterization doesn't matter.
>upped the gay 200%
Nice meme.
>removed Kite's importance
No it didn't. It just placed it at the beginning of Chimera Ant instead of the first episode.
>changed things around but couldn't be assed to actually do something interesting with the direction, aside from Hisoka's orgasm scene
Episode 116 is probably the best directed anime episode I've ever seen.
>>120758399
Developed characters are one of the series major strengths since CA arc though
Why is it that Gon having sex with a bunch of older chicks is canon but there is no /ss/ doujinshi?

It's an interesting fighting manga. But it's still a manga about people fighting. It had tournament arcs for fucks sake.
>>120758521
>upped the gay 200%
Nice meme.
>>120758561
Considering that the poorly drawn chapters are the majority it's actually nitpicking to post the one or two decently drawn ones.
>>120757856
it wasn't an asspull, he got some magic wand weapon that didn't even look like it could be used for battle, and we finally found out what it was.
>>120758486
Naoko just sucks him dry every day since she has all the money she could want
>>120758562
I stupidly skipped most of this bits.
There isn't a compilation of those somewhere; right?
>>120758524
Damn right. Chimera Ant juggled like 15 character journies all at once.
>>120758565
By this logic, Evangelion and Lotgh are fighting shows. Heavens Arena is the ONLY battle shounen arc in HxH (and also the shortest, iirc).
>>120758652
It *is* pretty fucking gay.
>>120758399
>It has a fun and fairly interesting power system that's introduced pretty late into the story.
>pretty late into the story
what?
>>120758438
Get a life faggot, bitching about it solves nothing. And money will not cure a recovering back injury.
>>120758688
I should have tossed a "relatively" next to the "late".
>>120758654
The Hunter Exam, Heaven's Arena, Greed Island, and Chimera Ant were all battle shonen arcs mostly about fighting.
The only two arcs that weren't really about the fighting were Yorknew and the Election and they still had plenty of fighting in them.
>>120758688
probably talking about the nen ability. Before then it was just quick wit and getting the hang of hunting. Then you reach the battle arena and meet wing.
>>120758438
>What is it that he wants then?
Dragon Quest games
>>120758728
>bitching about it solves nothing.
I'm aware of that, but it's fucking ridiculous how HxH is on hiatus all the time. We've had nothing for so long.
>And money will not cure a recovering back injury
Is he actually injured, though? I thought that was an excuse to play Dragon Quest or whatever.
>>120758768
>Dragon Quest games
Don't we all?
>>120758782
>Is he actually injured, though?
he had another surgery done recently i think.
>>120758654
hxh is battle shounen without a doubt, hunter exam and GI are just as much battle shounen as heavens arena is.
It still minimises tropes and fights so calling it a fighting manga really downplays it but it is what it is.
>>120758808
No, Dragon Quest is mostly awful. I'm surprised the man who wrote one of the best manga of all times has such pleb taste in video games.
>>120758613
>Considering that the poorly drawn chapters are the majority
But they aren't the majority, have you even read the manga? I can post as many of these as you'd like.
>>120758808
Has SE hired Togashi to design monsters/characters for any game?
>>120758834
Which is why I prefer to call HxH just shounen, not battle shounen. That term has a negative stigma. There are already too many people who misunderstand what HxH is because they see the "gay" meme and Gon smiling screencaps.
>>120758888
The shitty scan quality on that image isn't helping, but that's not some sort of god-tier art. He's a mid-tier artist at best. Togashi's strength has always been the story over the visuals.
>>120758521
>Leorio isn't very relevant in the first place, removing one or two lines of characterization doesn't matter.
Except it does. When adapting a manga, you have to keep the fans of it in mind and Leorio is a popular character among them.
>Nice meme.
How is it a meme when they literally have Killua stare longingly at Gon all the damn time, made Gon strip Killua with a smile on his face, milked the scene of Killua with his shirt off, and had that kissing scene in >>120758562
Face it, the adaptation is fujo bait.
>No it didn't. It just placed it at the beginning of Chimera Ant instead of the first episode.
They only showed bits of it instead of the full story.
>Episode 116 is probably the best directed anime episode I've ever seen.
Watch more anime.
>>120758438
>What is it that he wants then? Why hasn't he cancelled the manga already?
For the love of art. In the story arc chimera seemed to give a message, that's artistic noncommercial. It is a theory
>>120758980
>For the love of art.
If Togashi loves doing HxH, then why doesn't he, y'know, do HxH?
>>120758888
Posting what? Simple close ups with generic tone backgrounds?
He did fix most of the scribbles in the tanks, but people who followed this from the get go had to endure the scribbles after weeks of shit all.
>>120758782
You thought wrong fucktard, the only thing that's been stated is that he went into surgery for a back injury. People make up shit like dragon quest memes because they think insulting Togashi online is gonna make him write more chapters.
