Do... do they not know what dubstep is? There's no filth there, it lacks a drop, it's just bad repetitive electronica that only vaguely resembles a small part of the song they're remixing.

It was Greed Island. Most notable in this regard for a page where almost everything looks like scribbles, and a big panel with an exquisitely-rendered cooked chicken.

Something to note is that HxH's bad art was only in some weekly releases; in the volumes he'd redraw those pages to be in line with the rest of the series, i.e. Actually pretty good.

I forgot about the bit where if the ball is caught before it hits the ground you aren't out. So there you go.

He hits the ball up and then catches it. It's exactly the same thing that Razer one of the times he's actually hit in the dodgeball game in in Hunter x Hunter. Really, I'd recommend that sequence to everyone, even because of brain damage you don't want to read the rest of Hunter x Hunter.

tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


A part of me would actually be curious how long Zak could keep the Hitball arc going if he set out to just keep stringing it along, like all of paranatural up until now was an elaborate setup for a narrative prank where he never actually advances the story again while the game continues to asymptotically approach completion. All while keeping up the quality and variety of the art, characterization and hints of future plot developments, of course. Just try to find out how far he could go before the audience starts to suspect he's messing with them.

The comic's pacing and his update schedule being what they are there's really not much chance of Paranatural reaching its... well, natural conclusion inside of another five years, so he might as well have some fun with the idea.

What? When? Forge possessed Johnny without his knowledge and so far Forge had a moment where it looked like he would be rekindled but then went dark again.

The next page definitely seemed to indicate that there was an interaction we weren't privy to.

"Since when did you care about rules?"
"I don't."

And Johnny's attitude change in general.

No, he doesn't care about the rules, he's sending R.J. and Ollie out because they'd get hurt by Jeff otherwise. That's why Max starts praising him subsequently.

Exactly, Johnny cares about his friends' well being and is willing to put himself in greater danger to protect them. And, in true anime fashion, the let him, because they know doing so is important to John-boy.
