Why is he so based?
I see this shit all the time.
I've never seen HunterxHunter so just explain why an old man is doing a heart with his hands?
>>120945971
Because he is an old man
By Shounen Logic he is badass
Its one of the few Good Shounen Cliches
>>120945971
>Togashi got his back surgery done recently and wrote a review for a publishing shoujo manga. He has also been working as editor for Kuroko no Basket.
Dark Continent soon.
>>120945988
He's thankful that he got the chance to fight a being stronger than he is, being the strongest human in existence. The heart represents his gratitude, and is also foreshadowing for something later involving his heart.
It also ties into one of his lines, "a prayer comes from the heart".
>>120946027
>Dark Continent Soon
>>120946623
>Dark Continent soon.
b bump
>>120946027
>Dark Continent soon.
That doesn't mean anything. He's been working as an editor for Kuroko no Basket for years.
I hope he comes back anyway
>>120946027
Is it normal for mangaka to do editing as a side job? Is it just because he's friends with the KnB mangaka, or so I hear?
Will we ever see Leorio vs Illumi?
>>120946690
>Dark Continent soon.
>>120948249
I don't think it is, though my knowledge of the manga industry is limited to some articles I've read and Bakuman.
Togashi was also an editor for Naruto in its earlier stages.
>>120945988
Just look up Netero vs Meruem and watch the fight, it's like 1-2 episodes and you'll understand.
>>120949030
Doesn't work without the arc context, especially Netero's backstory
>>120949058
I thought the backstory was given during the fight as a flashback, am I remembering it wrong?

Better question being, why is everyone in the CA arc so based?

>>120951698
>Neferpitou
>>120953122
She doesn't get enough credit for this.
If he knew he was going to die either way, why didn't Netero just make a Gon-tier nen vow and beat Meruem's ass?
>>120953816
Because he already reached his full potential? The only thing he could do was basically throwing all of his nen at Meruem, and he did that with Zero Hand.
>>120953816
Why do so many people miss the point of why Netero fought Meruem? It was even spelled out for the viewer.
>>120953816
Gee, why can a kid trade his potential but not an old man?
>>120953816
Friendly reminder that Gon will never be this handsome, and he'll instead grow up to be an ugly manlet like Ging.
>>120954125
>Ging
>ugly
Look at this fucking nerd
>>120954184
>liking hobos
>>120953888
>>120954054
Is sacrificing potential the only type of nen vow there is? Kurapika's gives him an ability boost against the Phantom Troupe. Is there a reason something like that conjoined with Gon's punishment wouldn't have worked?
>>120954184
He's fucking disgusting.
>>120945971
Because he'sthe bombsorry ;_;
>>120954237
It could have worked, but there wouldn't be any point to it. Kurapika vowing to end his life if he didn't stick to using the Chain Jail on Phantom Troupe members was way enough to do what he needed.
Plus people set conditions all the time it seems. Just look at Cheetu's ability he used against Morel : getting caught by the target means you cannot use the ability anymore. Komugi was god-like at Gungi because she swore she would kill herself if she lost etc. It also seems to depends on the "resolve" of the individual itself.
>>120954237
No, but potential is probably the biggest thing you can trade because it means:
>you'll never be able to use nen again
>you might die (and he probably would have if Knov didn't get all these doctors and shit)
Which is the same thing that happens when you break a nen vow according to Wing, so there isn't much that tops this
As said above, he basically traded all his remaining aura for zero hand so there's that i guess
Kurapika vow was to only be able to use his chain against 13 people in the entire world, no wonder it's OP as fuck against those 13 people in particular
>>120954408
>Wing
Gon should apologize to Wing.
>>120954482
Gon should apologize to a shitload of people.
Mito and Wing being priorities.
>>120954211
>>120954279
>there are people who don't like based Ging
I don't understand
>>120954527
>Gon should apologize
For what exactly? Even if it wasn't the reason he did the contract thing, Pitou would have killed him. So should he apologize for being alive?
>>120954527
I agree. He still owes a proper apology to Killua, too.
>>120954643
>Wing
For refusing to heed Wing's advice.
>Mito
>Killua
For selfishly throwing his life away without care for the people who love him.
>So should he apologize for being alive?
He's only alive because of Killua, dumbass.
>>120954792
> refusing to heed Wing's advice
It was his last resort.
>selfishly throwing his life away without care for the people who love him
Pitou was about to kill him, if he didn't make the contract he'd actually be dead.
>He's only alive because of Killua
Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that it was his only chance of surviving.
>>120954672
>Killua and Gon are supposed to fight Pitou together
>Gon waits for Pitou to finish her thing
>Killua leaves to do his own thing
>Pitou finishes
>Killua isn't back
>Gon fights Pitou
>"ABLOO BLOO WE WERE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT PITOU TOGETHER APOLOGIZE"
>>120954672
So what was Togashi thinking when he gave FemKite those nigger lips?
>>120955056
She'd be so much better without them. Fucking Togashi.
>>120955056
>not loving the DSL
Faggot.
>>120954876
Do you really think throwing his life away to defeat Pitou = his only chance of surviving is solid logic?
>>120954963
Didn't happen that way.
>>120955619
Well yes, what else could he have done? If he didn't find a way to gain power quickly Pitou would have killed him.
>Didn't happen that way.
How did it happen then?
>>120955728
That's not the point. Gon didn't care what it took, he sacrificed everything to gain the strength to kill Pitou. After his covenant ended, his body was basically drained because it couldn't handle all of the energy. He also had no way of knowing Killua would rush over to rescue him or that Pitou's corpse would re-animate and try to kill him. You're logic is stupid.
>How did it happen then?
Read the manga.
>>120956196
He had no way of knowing that, but the fact that Pitou would have killed him remains.
>Read the manga.
That's what i did, and that's pretty much what happened.
>>120956302
And the fact that he made the contract knowing he would have died regardless remains.
>>120956410
Okay, let's make this simpler
There were 2 options:
>1. Don't make the contract, and certain death by Pitou's hand
>2. Make the contract, and hope he is found in time by someone
Now which one has the lowest chance of Gon dying?Hint: it's not the first one
>>120945988
He was expressing his gratitude because he had finally met an opponent which he could fight against at full strength.
>>120953765
>She
>>120956593
Calm yourself autismo. We don't have to repeat this argument every fucking time Pitou gets mentioned, get the fuck over it.
>>120956580
No evidence to indicate he hoped to be found by anybody because he didn't care about dying.
You're not arguing from Gon's point of view so your argument is inherently retarded, but you're probably just baiting anyway.
>>120956726
Yes, but my point is that it still was the one thing that saved him. Therefore, he doesn't have to apologize.
Now i know Gon disregarded his life at that point, but he wouldn't be alive he didn't make that contract.
>>120954405
> It also seems to depends on the "resolve" of the individual itself.
Indeed, and Pouf stated that Gon had the strongest will amongst all the people who invaded the palace. Netero never had any intense hate for Meruem the same way Gon did for Pitou, Netero was grateful because he had completed his life's goal.
>>120954551
They probably self inserted too hard because of their irl father issues.
>>120956825
I suppose this is just the logic of an underage Gonfag.
>>120957207
What do you not understand retard?
He was gonna die for sure if he did not make the contract. Why to not use everything he has to take pitou down with him?
How is that fucking selfist? You are braindead
>>120946027
Source?
>>120957207
I know you're just baiting at this point but Killua really can't ask for Gon to apologize. I'm surprised Gon doesn't call him out on that.
>>120957450
sure thing buddyhttps://www.google.ca/

thanks

obviously if he's well enough to do that shit he'd be making plans for his return.
hopefully we get an announcement within the next 1-2 months

Maybe this was the real reason for those terrorist threats against Kuroko no Basgay.

Hey guys i fixed Kite

Why doesn't anybody like Ant Kite's lips?Next time he appears I hope he has that hat

Netero kaicho, arigato!;_:
>>120961668
The real problem here is that Togashi scribbledhisnew design.
>>120961929
Well, at least i hopeshehas the same ability as before, we only have seen 3 weapons out of the 9.She's probably even stronger now thatshe's a chimera ant.
>>120962011
I would thinkhedoes, since nen abilities are a mental thing.
>She's probably even stronger now that she's a chimera ant.
Nobody has noticed a considerable difference inhisaura, but who knows.
>>120962129
>I would thinkshedoes, since nen abilities are a mental thing.
Didn't Palm get new abilities after being reborn as a CA?
>>120962478
It was more like an upgrade to her existing skill, since she could do the same thing as before, but without shedding her own blood.
>>120962638
And to 3 people at once.inb4 Kite's improved ability is just more weaponsI'd be pretty ok with that actually
>>120962478
Palm is a different case. She was modified, Kite was killed and reborn.
>My name isn't Reina! It's KITE!

that's all that matters anyways, and you can clearly tell that togashi was rushing when he drew that.
>>120963224

>>120963224

How are the movies? I started watching Phantom Rouge and I ain't digging it.
>>120965250
both garbage.
>>120965250
I don't know which one that is but the one with Killua getting NTR'd by the puppet is average
>>120957487
>I'm surprised Gon doesn't call him out on that
Call him out for what? IIRC Killua wasn't even expecting an apology, and if he was, it was for the "You have it easy" line.
>>120965366
Phantom Rouge is the one.
>>120965250
Greed island movie is just the greed island arc but short and last mission is about enemies that use a special "Dark Nen" that corrupts people. It's just as fucking dumb as it sounds.
>>120965250
The one about dark nen totally shits on everything established by Togashi
I'm not sure how it was greenlighted, it reads like a fanfiction by a 12 year old, but some of the action sequences are pretty.
>>120964502

Not him but I did just this after seeing pic related.And I kept watching until Meruem died making me cry like a faggot despite not knowing a damn thing of what was going on aside from reasonable guesses.Is it too late for me to enjoy this from the beginning having already seen how this shit ends up?
>>120966944
The show is 140 something episodes long and the CA arc lasts about 60, there's a lot of other shit to enjoyEven if spoiling yourself was a pretty bad move
>>120966944
Read the manga.
>>120966944
The other arcs have no relation to CA, you've only really spoiled yourself on that one. Yorknew and Election arc are just as enjoyable as CA and are the top three arcs of the show. I'd say go for it.
>>120966944
>reasonable guesses
What did you guess? Pretty curious to know what someone who didn't watch the rest of the arc thought was going on
Why did Gon am become death?
>>120967757
Because some catgirl needed a spanking
>>120967787
if only it were that simple
>>120967158
No point, the anime covers the same shit and it's more enjoyable.
>>120945988
HEART IS VALUABLE
>>120967091
>>120967171
I'll keep that in mind then.Somehow I didn't consider to pick it up from that fight alone and continued to spoil myself.
>>120967158I've already learned my lesson about relying on adaptations too much.
>>120967320
It's been awhile and they were very shitty standard guesses.Mostly that the battle was to take out Meruem because he was going to be crowned or something and pretty much wipe out mankind. And somehow Komugi was their trumpcard after Netero failed to take him out. This was either to remind him the joys of being with humans or something like that or quite simply as a hostage. Anything else they did a good job at least giving you a clue.
>>120968182
>the anime covers the same shit
You can always tell who is an anime only fag and who isn't.
The anime cut too many corners and was too insipid direction-wise to be interesting, not to mention it cut important shit out, changed things around and effectively cheapened Gon's tragedy in doing so because so many animefags were confused as to why he cared so much about Kite.
Not going to lie though, episode 116 was 11/10 GOAT and I'm happy with how it turned out, it deserved the best possible production values.
>>120968758
If you watch the 99 anime for the exam and Yorkshin arc and you shouldn't miss too many things
Always wondered why they decided to cut so much character development
>>120969094
>>120968758
animeonly fag here.
Are there really important events what are missing from the animu?
>>120968970
99 Yorkshin a best
>>120969311
They aren't really important, some events just make more sense, or a character has slightly more depth.
>>120969311
Yes, in the anime Gon has forgotten about Kite for whatever reason.
>>120969243
>>120969143
>>120969094
Holy fuck, that page is a goldmine
>>120969311
>you miss the all important moments like these
>>120968758
Kite is the only real problem, it can be fixed by just having people read the first chapter of the manga before watching the series. The direction isn't going to affect anyone's enjoyment of it unless they're really picky, majority of people thought it was a very well done adaption.
>>120970020
There's more than the first chapter that was left out. In the manga we're shown that Gon still cares and remembers Kite and that foreshadowing is needed for when we actually see Gon meet him at the start of the CA arc, he wasn't just some guy who appeared in the first chapter.
>unless they're really picky
A lot of people prefer adaptations to be more than copy pastes of manga panels.
