Will 2015 be the first year with no Hunter X Hunter chapters published at all?
Hopefully.
Looks like it. How can one man be so lazy?

Why do you keep making a thread asking the same question every damn day?
Who knows, wait until the end of 2015 to find out.

He also is a famous mangaka. Even without Takeuchi, I assume he'd have enough money to slack off for a while.

If he lost interest he would end it.

Is Togashi a moe son?
I really don't understand why these magazine don't have a yearly quota for authors to meet.
If they're suffering from illness, they should limit themselves to the story and hire assistance for drawing.
>>133462010
Yearly quota or whatever rule they have in place, Togashi is an exception.
His contract says he can do whatever.
>>133462010
He's privilegied.
>>133461741
You vastly overestimate how much money a mangaka makes. YYH was popular, but not THAT popular. Becoming famous for a mangaka is only step 1 to being rich, you have to capitalize on your fame to sell as many copies as you can, as much merch as you can. The more manga you produce under your famous name the more money you make. Togashi has squandered his fame by producing nothing while at the top of his game. He's actually lost money when you think of it like this.
Comparatively, his wife is a lot better off.
>>133461650
>>133461757
Oda is literally hospitalized and still puts out chapters. Togashi has lost interest, plain and simple. Only way I'd believe he hasn't is if he's been comatose for months at a time over the past few years.
>>133462039
>>133462048
That's retarded. I understand giving some more freedom to a famous author, but giving them free reign to do as they please is retarded. They should meet a bare minimum of volumes per year. Fuck, at least one.
And seriously? Free reign to Togashi? A man who has already left works incomplete?
>>133462103
>Togashi has lost interest
Nah, not with the amount of detail he continually puts into his stories.
>>133462071
You underestimate it.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2010-12-22/magazine/one-piece-creator-oda-made-2-billion-yen
If Togashi sold as well in his lifetime as Oda did in one year, he'd be rich. And he's done much better than that, YYH and HxH have sold a fucking lot and just the royalties would be enough to live off if you don't go overboard with spending.
>>133462103
>Oda is literally hospitalized and still puts out chapters.
And that has nothing to do with Togashi's interest in HxH. Plain and simple.
>>133462010
Quotas are for unproven authors. Togashi isn't some no-name, he's a rock star. He has the power in their relationship. See for a new author, they rely on being published in a big magazine like WSJ because it gets their name out there. Without being published in such a widely published periodical it's unlikely anyone would see their work, and they'd have a hard time getting paid. So with those authors, the publisher has the power and can set quotas.
But Togashi is famous, so famous that his readers will follow him if he goes to another magazine. It's a reversal of the previous setup: they read Jump for Togashi, rather than only reading him because he's in Jump.
>>133462205
Are you stupid or what? Do you literally think every manga is One Piece? Do you seriously believe Togashi has made ANYWHERE as much money as Oda?
>>133462140
>And seriously? Free reign to Togashi?
He saved WSJ's ass by contunuing YYH when he wanted to stop. So now he has earned free reign.
>>133462259
Nopt the same dude, but the funny thing is that Kazuki Takashi (Yu-Gi-Oh) also nets billions of Yen per year despite that as manga Yu-Gi-Oh didn't sell much and it has obviously ended a long time ago. Kazuki keeps earning his fortune on the royalties of the TGC / Anime.
A Rich Mangaka is one that whored its creation to merchandise.
>>133462259
I think you're either retarded or didn't read the article. Maybe you should stop making judgements at face value and actually think about it.
Oda made 15.5million usd in royalities from one years sales of 32 million volumes. That's 10% royalties of 400 yen avg volume price.
YYH has sold 50 million total and HxH has sold 66 million total. If he got 10% of the price of those sales he is objectively rich as fuck. Oda is insanely rich, Togashi is very rich. Not hard to understand.
>>133462103
Togashi has nothing to gain by keeping the series on hiatus. If he had lost interest, he would stand to gain more by just announcing its cancellation.
>>133462259
YYH's royalties alone settled him in life, idiot.
>>133462223
>they read Jump for Togashi, rather than only reading him because he's in Jump.
I doubt anyone right now is reading Jump solely because HxH is ongoing in it, especially since he hasn't been producing a chapter in almost a year. I think you're overestimating Togashi's, or more hunter x hunter's, influence here. Jump sells plenty without him right now.
>>133462259
Royalties son,
Sailor Moon isn't exactly a breakthrough in sales like One Piece either, yet Takeuchi opened a company in the Nineties just to keep track of the sheer amount of contracts that pumped all the money in.
>>133462750
I agree, Togashi fans aren't going to bother with a magazine he's barely in. That's why his rankings are shit but volume sales are excellent.
That anon is right overall though, Togashi got his special treatment because Jump didn't want to lose him along with a bunch of other mangaka back in the 90s.

No other explanation makes much sense but health issues anyway. Pure laziness would result in a regular, sparse schedule (like monthsly releases), that gives him plenty of time off. But being unwell can explain a spurt of 9 straight chapters then a year of nothing.

>>133462259
lmao, you think Togashi is not wealthy?
He's like in the top 20% of peopl living on earth man.
>>133472132
The message of Ging's speech is that the goal doesn't matter as much as what you do to get there, not "the manga should end here even if there are unfinished plot lines to appeal to the anime babbies who can't wait for new chapters"
>>133463771
TV raws
>>133470497
See if it really was just laziness though, he would have done at least one more chapter for a tankobon.
You don't stop one chapter short of big paycheck unless you have some legitimate issues, even if he does have a shit ton of money.
>>133472286
Is it wrong that Ging's speech kind of supports the idea of ending it there? It lets you look back and enjoy the journey that was had and realize it was never really about finding Ging, so much as experiencing an adventure.
>>133472656
>it was never about finding Ging so let's end it after he finds Ging
>>133462140
It's not like they want to, but he clearly wrestled them into a contract vastly favourable to himself.
>>133472656
Not only are you contradicting yourself, but ending it there doesn't make sense. Too many unresolved plot lines left to finish.
I guess that's why, you know, Togashi kept fucking writing.
>>133472687
I don't see the problem. Gon left to partially to find Ging, but more to understand what made Ging. It wasn't so much as finding him as much as the experience of the journey which resonates with Ging's words.
>>133472724
There weren't so many unresolved plotlines that they could not have been cleared if the intention was end it there.
Obviously as the story stands you couldn't just end it right there because it was made to keep going but if the intent was to end the story it could have been done.
>>133472911
Ok sure, it COULD have been ended I guess. I'm not saying it was impossible for that to happen.
Just because it could have happened though, doesn't mean it would have been a good idea. Fans would have been pretty pissed, especially on the depressing note Gon and Killua left on.
>>133461337
But it wasn't published in 1996 and before though.

>tfw it's been over a decade and you're still waiting on Chrollo vs Hisoka.
Fuck, just give me an ambiguous panel or something - speaking of the manga, where does Chrollo keep Owl at, seeing as how the person he steals from has to be alive and all that?
>>133473055
>Gon and Killua left on.
How so?
Gon still had ren prior to the dark continent arc iirc, so he would have just been left in an open ended place to do whatever he wanted.
Killua's free to do whatever he wants with his sister.
Sure they were separated, but just because they were separated doesn't mean things were bad for them or even between them.
I dunno I feel like this type of ending would just be a set up for a sequel down the line if Togashi ever got better, but would at least leave the audience with some type of ending in the worse case scenario.
>>133473196
Do you seriously think the manga known for subverting shonen tropes is going to give the revenge character a happy conclusion?
Togashi even said he's going to die in an interview.
>>133473196
He knew what he was signing up for.

I remember it as him saying that he'll be okay without Nen - that he just needs to relearn it and he'll be alright, or something.
I could be wrong, but to keep this going, here's some Feitan.
>>133473282
Nen is the word you're looking for, but going said gon's aura is okay, he just can't use nen.

No, he just said it was coming out, which is the case for every human.

He didn't say he needed to relearn it, he said that it was an opportunity for him to find something he wants to do.

Ging was saying that it'd be risky if Gon tried to regain the use of nen.
Gon is basically what he was before Wing baptized him, just with a significantly greater aura.
>>133473324
Oh shit indeed. I do like the idea of Ging Time, though.
>>133473341
What if Togashi goes the Bleach route and fakes us out with regards to Gon where his power wasn't really his own this whole time and that he needs to access his real power?What if he's like Biscuit?
>>133473341
>Gon is basically what he was before Wing baptized him, just with a significantly greater aura.
All Ging speculated is that Gon can't use his nen anymore and should just leave it at that. Since nen is based on the subconscious it's probably because of Gon-san.
>>133473341
If I'm understanding this correctly, he can take some time training with Bisky and he's back to CA level? That leaves almost no consequences from the transformation, at least physically.
>>133473400
Well given that he got wished back to health, that's pretty fair.The consequence got removed thanks to Killua.
>>133473222
>Togashi even said he's going to die in an interview.

Seems like he hasn't given a shit for a long time. Most writers stop giving a shit about their story after a few years, Hunter x Hunter has "ran" for almost 20. He should just drop all pretense and give it a half-assed ending.

>>133473707
Not that anon, but the sheer amount of effort put into setting up the storylines. It's basically been an info dump, which isn't all that enjoyable in itself, but considering it's the basis for the rest of the arc you can tell his plans are for a fairly complex, involved arc. The art is also probably the most effort he's put into the series ever. Or maybe he got some assistants.
>>133473707
Ging and Pariston dynamics.
In fact, Kurapika has not been impressive so far.
I'm liking the Chimera Ant arc so far, Granted I'm not far in but it's pretty entertaining so far.
The ED is fucking GARBAGE, This is the worst ED yet what the fuck.

Nagareboshi kirari right? If you think Hyori Ittai is shit there's no saving you tripfag.
>>133473400
>>133473415
It'd be pretty fucking bad writing if Gon could just relearn nen willy-nilly with no consequences. Not that killua's free wishes isn't already bad writing, but this would just be piss icing on the shitcake.
All we know is that Nanika "healed" Gon, but we know nothing specific of the nature of Gon's vow and the repercussions it's supposed hold. The fact that Gon was reverted to nenless is enough of a clue to show that there must be something wrong.
>>133474165
It just seems like an opportunity for character development if nothing else. Gon has a bunch of directions he could go and him retrieving his nen will probably just be a means of showing what direction he chooses to follow.
>>133474224
I'm pretty sure there's no way for Gon to get it back, else Ging would have just told him instead of telling him to find something he wants to do. He just has a mental block.
He should have ended it with the CA or Election arc and been done with it.
>>133474148
>>133474157
Yeah Nagareboshi Kirari, This is just beyond awful.
What a letdown.

CA was a low in Togashi's writing, so it shouldn't be unreasonable to expect something surpassing it. If he ever bothers to do it, that is.

What? It was the arc with the best writing. How all the themes tied together with the characters and setting was done really well, not to mention the curveballs it threw at us. The only thing that comes close is Yorkshin.
I understand not liking it because Togashi took some risks but claiming it's a low writing wise is absolutely retarded.

>>133475181

>>133475028
What themes? It was way out of left field for the series and didn't really touch on any of the previous themes.
The "drama" with Gon and Kite is cringe. Gon barely even knows this guy, at all, and we're supposed to believe in his conviction to get revenge against the cat. The viewer barely knows him either, which only makes it worse.
Pacing is horrendous. Everything before the castle invasion is simply a struggle to get through. NGL in particular is painful. It doesn't help that 95% of the villains completely suck and are boring as shit. Everyone but the Royal Guard is as forgettable as it gets.
Why didn't they call in the Zoldycks or Phantom Troupe to deal with such a situation? They send kids that can barely handle themselves, strong but not that strong hunters (who end up being all but useless), and to top it all off, suicide bomb their leader to finish the job? It makes no sense at all. Then in the next arc, we see yet *another* group of allegedly super strong hunters (Zodiacs) that should have been called in. I try not to think about how silly it all is and just enjoy it, but, it's complete shit writing and Togashi simply not thinking about what he's doing (unlike Yorkshin and Chapter Black arc in YYH, which both destroy CA).
Gon-san. Yeah, it's cool, but complete and utter nonsense. At least he attempted to make Yusuke's transformation in YYH make... some kind of sense, it still didn't really, but at least he did something other than "lol he used all his potential at once so he's really strong now". Again, not that I care that much, but it's still shit/lazy writing, especially for what is supposed to be part of the big finale segment.
The whole thing was a huge but entertaining mess. Definitely some high points in there, and I'd take it above probably most of the other arcs even (I don't find HxH to be *that* great to begin with), but coming from something as superb as Yorkshin, it's kind of laughable in comparison.
>>133474608
Anon.
Togashi won't finish Dark Continent. There are so many hiatus jokes about HxH that you probably believe nothing is to be taken serious, but if you actually pay attention to the current pacing, it's almost retarded to believe that another big arc will ever be finished.
>>133474763
>CA was a low in Togashi's writing
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>>133475271
I read somewhere that Togashi gave his storyboards/plans to his wife and she is becoming acquainted with his art style, so she would finish it if anything serious happens.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect DC to finish. The entire manga, including the obviously planned Gyro arc, though? Probably not.

>>133475269
>What themes? It was way out of left field for the series and didn't really touch on any of the previous themes.
The overarching theme of the manga is a humanity vs nature dynamic. The world of HxH is extremely violent and uncaring, where physical strength matters above all: the Hunter Exam is so dangerous participants can lose their lives, the only way to enter the Phantom Troupe is by killing another member, Chimera Ants focused on consuming strong organisms to steal their power, etc. The humanity of Gon et al is supposed to counteract this, and most of the major arcs culminate in some kind of confrontation between a nihilistic ‘nature’ and human ethics (Illumi telling Killua he was born to be an assassin, Kurapika choosing his friends over his revenge, Meruem questioning the difference between humans and

Did you only watch the anime? Because if you did, go read chapter one right now.
>Pacing is horrendous. Everything before the castle invasion is simply a struggle to get through. NGL in particular is painful.
So you did only watch the anime. Don't blame the arc itself for Madhouse's garbage pacing.
>Why didn't they call in the Zoldycks or Phantom Troupe to deal with such a situation?
Why would they call the Troupe? Do you think they would actually go do it? Also Netero did hire the Zoldycks if you forgot.
>They send kids that can barely handle themselves, strong but not that strong hunters (who end up being all but useless), and to top it all off, suicide bomb their leader to finish the job?
They explained why they sent few people in NGL. The reason there are few people in the castle invasion is that it was a suicide mission, if Netero died (like what could have happened when Meruem walked past him and Zeno) everyone would be dead. Also Meruem's death was granted from the beginning, he never could have made it out alive and was never much an actual threat in the grand scheme of things to begin with. So there wasn't a need to put even more lives on the line.
>Then in the next arc, we see yet *another* group of allegedly super strong hunters (Zodiacs) that should have been called in.
This is also adressed literally in the chapter they are introduced. Pay attention when you read, anon.
>Gon-san. Yeah, it's cool, but complete and utter nonsense.
It makes perfect sense and is actually pretty simple to understand if you pay attention. See pic related. You probably missed the point anyway if you think it was cool.
Don't call the writing shit because you can't pay attention.

Actually scratch that, i think it's exactly in one translation.
>>133475464
>Did you only watch the anime?
No. Even the scene with Kite in the beginning isn't enough to justify how drawn out and ridiculous Gon's pouting and vendetta is. It's way over the top. If it was someone closer to him that the viewer actually gives a shit about, I would have a completely different opinion on it.
>Also Netero did hire the Zoldycks if you forgot
He hired a guy to do one thing and leave, even sillier. I actually did forget because it was so minor and disappointing. I meant why not hire all of them to fight though. They would have stood a way better chance against the ants. And why wouldn't the Troupe come? The fate of humanity is at stake, including them. Surely at least Hisoka would have been interested.
>This is also adressed literally in the chapter they are introduced
You know as well as me there's no way that shit was planned when Togashi was writing the CA arc. The only reason it's (poorly) addressed is because he knows how dumb it is. That's kind of my point.
>You missed the point about gon-san
I'm just not interested in beating the dead horse on that really, myself and thousands of other fans think it's full retard, others disagree, that's all there is to it. I understand what the "logic" behind it was, and think it's completely retarded. Simple as. Surely there have been cases where you find some instance of writing really dumb and can't understand why others think it's not.
>>133475568
>>133475588
Togashi didn't even care about her sex, only waifufags get triggered by this.
She looks, acts and thinks like a girl, who fuck cares about her gender? Does gender even matter in chimera ants? Remember that Kite just got turned into a little girl.

>>133475663
>He hired a guy to do one thing and leave, even sillier. I actually did forget because it was so minor and disappointing.
Didn't he leave because he hurt an innocent bystander for the first time ever and things weren't set up to be as he believed? Yeah it could have played out differently, but there was reason for why he left.
>>133475663
>No. Even the scene with Kite in the beginning isn't enough to justify how drawn out and ridiculous Gon's pouting and vendetta is. It's way over the top.
Did you even read the image? Also, Gon is mad not because of Kite (he thought he was still alive at the time), but because Pitou was helping an innocent blind girl.
>He hired a guy to do one thing and leave, even sillier.
Because he should have killed Zeno with an explosion too, hurr.
>I'm just not interested in beating the dead horse on that really, myself and thousands of other fans think it's full retard, others disagree, that's all there is to it. I understand what the "logic" behind it was, and think it's completely retarded.
Stop shitposting.
>>133475694
Yeah that's basically it. A character depicted as an absolutely ruthless killer and head of the most dangerous group of assassins in the world (well kinda, I guess his son is moreso), on a mission to save mankind, decides that because a civilian got hurt by accident it's too much to handle and he has to throw in the towel.
Great and consistent writing.
>>133475694
He was hired just to separate the king from the royal guards.
>>133475746
Stop shitposting.
>>133475694
No, he left because he was aware that Netero was going to detonate the bomb. Hurting Komugi only put him in a bad mood.
>>133475663
>Even the scene with Kite in the beginning isn't enough to justify how drawn out and ridiculous Gon's pouting and vendetta is.
Alright, maybe you don't see Gon and Kite's relationship the way i do but i'll try to explain.
I genuinely can't understand how you overlook the extremely significant role Kite played in Gon’s life. He saved Gon more than once, and in all of them when Gon had almost been completely helpless or clueless or both. This alone is enough to feel infinitely indebted to someone. It was also Kite who told him about Ging and hunters in general. Gon says several times through the series that he wants to see Kite again, and when he does, he stays behind and gets killed because of him. Gon felt it was his fault for being too weak and useless so he absolutely had to right his wrongs and save Kite no matter what.
>He hired a guy to do one thing and leave, even sillier.
You mean separating the King from the RG and take him and Netero to a safe place for the bomb to detonate? That's literally the most important fucking thing in the entire invasion.
>And why wouldn't the Troupe come? The fate of humanity is at stake, including them.
It wasn't at all, you did completely miss the point. The ants were never a threat to humanity. Also the Troupe only cares about themselves and Meteor City, for someone who praises Yorkshin so much you don't seem to have understood it.
>The only reason it's (poorly) addressed is because he knows how dumb it is.
You ignored my other points. There was no need for them. Remember when Knov said there was nothing the RG could do even if they reached Meruem? They had it in the bag from the start.
>I understand what the "logic" behind it was, and think it's completely retarded.
>Surely there have been cases where you find some instance of writing really dumb and can't understand why others think it's not.
You're basically telling me "i understand it makes sense, but i don't like it so it's bad writing". Fuck off.
>>133475746
Zeno said to Killua "i know nothing besides the mission i've been given", and it's stated by the narrator that he was paid by Netero to separate Meruem and the RG.
He always was depicted as a character solely motivated by his job and money. This goes back to his fight with Chrollo. It is consistent, you really haven't understood Yorkshin at all. I don't know why you praise it so much yet still manage to be forget such things about it.
Also he felt like shit because it was the first time in his 60+ years of work that he might have killed an innocent. I don't see how that doesn't make sense.
>>133475676
He acts like an ant.
Riddle me this:
If Pitou only cared about Meruem's orders, why was she so bent on trying to get Komugi back to him and keeping her safe? He only asked for her to be healed.
Hard mode: why didn't she turn around to kill Gon the moment Pouf tricked her into believing they had Komugi?
>>133476280
She didn't only care about Meruem's orders.
>why didn't she turn around to kill Gon the moment Pouf tricked her into believing they had Komugi?
She isn't a ruthless monster, obviously she wanted to apologize before killing a kid she had just tricked into believing Kite was alive.
>>133476280
Better question, why couldn't Pitou get some actual great character moments?
>>133476855
You mean like the entire Komugi/Gon situation? Seeing Pitou turn into a terrified paranoid mess while at the same time trying to be the most reasonable person in the room and keep things under control was one of my favorite parts of the entire series.
>>133476855
I was hoping Pitou would have taken interest in Komugi pre invasion, like showing us her being fascinated by Komugi playing with Meruem while she was healing him or something. It would have been interesting if they had some sort of bond but I guess the only person she cared about was Meruem.
>>133476280
Because she's not a retard and realized the king cared about Komugi, and therefore protected her for his sake.
>Hard mode
Because she wasn't a massive dick like Pouf and felt obligated to apologize after Gon let her fulfill the king's request.

Yes, I think so too, but I know only niuya and @mountful among these people. And also citrusneon3, who draws some mobage cards. I don't remember this picture in their galleries, thats why I ask.

Honestly I just wish Togashi cut the bullshit and straight up said "Get fucked idiots, I'm done, buy more merch, kthx bye"
At least then i could finally drop this stupid series and look for a new favourite manga rather than live with the knowledge that one day that lazy fuck will release like 3 chapters and go on another 5 year hiatus.

>I am the head and you are the legs of the spider. Natural law dictates that the legs blindly follow the head. However, this simply represents a chain of command. It doesn't apply to my life or death. If I happen to die, one of you can replace me. And there may come a time when a leg has more importance than the head. Make the right call. My orders are top priority. However, I am not your top priority. Our goal is not to keep an individual alive, but the spider. Never forget that.

Why these two are so damn similar? There are so many parallels between them, that it's almost scary.

Gon is going to get a new power, maybe leaving the enhancer type.
Why? because his power is too plain, he only can hit harder or throw a mid power level ball or make a weak cut.
Meanwhile Killua thanks to his power can fight oponents WAY stronger than him.
>>133484191
>Why? because his power is too plain, he only can hit harder or throw a mid power level ball or make a weak cut.
They explained with the Knuckle fight how versatile his ability can actually be.
>Meanwhile Killua thanks to his power can fight oponents WAY stronger than him.
His power doesn't actually give him an edge against stronger opponents. It doesn't make his attacks hit harder, it just gives him a few free hits and then runs out. Its best use is for covering long distances.
Go away with your retardation.

No-no, you misunderstand me, I'm not a pitouhater, in fact, this ant is my second favorite HxH character. I fucking love that scene not because of moral satisfaction but because it was really unexpected and most memorable both in terms of Pitou and Gon.
Gon-san is cool too, though.
>>133483657
It's pretty crazy. Chrollo parallels Kurapika, but Kurapika and Gon are also insanely similar, and then Gon parallels Meruem.

Wow, I didn't notice the similarity of those two scenes in 1999. The scene I posted tugs really well at your heart strings though, I kind of wish it was in the manga. Pic related is the part right before it

That's not what he said, he told him he should consider himself lucky to be alive at all and that asking for more (getting his nen back) would be pushing it.
