He's been in public places, and he's strong enough that no one could stop him from going on a killing spree, so from that alone we can conclude that he doesn't just kill people totally randomly. He has to be in the mood, and one of those moods is when people think they're good at not being killed.

Well, it was less "withdrawal" and more that the encounter with Kurapika and Leorio... "Excited" him too much and he couldn't control himself afterward. He presumably doesn't need to be killing people constantly.

Anyway, personally I think it's pretty clear that the author read through every Hisoka scene in the manga and put together a scenario where he could do most of that at the same time. Like, copying someone else's juggling is something he did to that shmuck way back in the Hunter Exam, right before killing him. Which ultimately makes it a fairly derivative work that plays it too safe to actually answer any questions about Hisoka, but is also mostly faithful.

Phantom Rouge (shouldn't it be Phantom Rogue?) had them fighting copies of the same enemies from the Yorknew arc instead of introducing new abilities, and ended with our heroes standing aside to let a little girl commit suicide. The Last Mission had an evil bizarro-Nen fueled by hatred (even though normal Nen can be fueled by hatred anyway), and has basically the same plot as all the Bleach fillers, with Netero standing in for Yamamoto.

Oh, I get what hisoka's going to do. He's going to turn Chrollo's arms into flower petals. He was reluctant to use that power because not everyone's seen the anime.

The censorship was still entertaining, instead of utterly distracting.

Hisoka developed bungee gum entirely on his own, whatare you talking about with him "Stealing" it. He put it together before fighting moritonio and just said "oh yours has the propeties of steel and magnets? Well I guess mine has the properties of rubber and gum then." Texture surprise is a total steal though.

Serious Frolicking posted:He killed helpless people for kicks all the time during the hunter exam. Hisoka spared the ones who looked like they might become interesting and killed anyone else who crossed him. He even went into murder withdrawal once and killed the first person he found. I feel like HxH has been a little inconsistent in Hisoka's portrayal in this respect. At the beginning he's portrayed as someone who enjoys killing in general, but I don't think that ever comes up again later (when he's just portrayed as being interested in killing strong dudes or people who directly cause him problems).

Who did he attack in the exam arc -Some dick who bumped into into him and didn't even apologize. Didn't kill, just transmuted his arms into flower petals. -A manfaced ape (and the real mustache instructor), but more as an experiment than anything else. -Some guys who tried to attack him first and said he wasn't worthy of being a hunter. -Leorio, Kurapika, and Gon, all of whom he spared after seeing their potential -A former hunter examiner who had been preparing to kill hisoka ever since the last exam -Two of his targets in the badge exam. Refused to kill the guy illumi set him up with, because he wasn't a threat. Overall seems pretty consistent to me.

Please, ripping someone's arms off never kills them. I'm sure we'll see #58 sometime in 2040, with new cybernetic arms.

Reminder that Killua killed 4 people in the Hunter Exams. Everyone remembers the nice old man and the mass murderer but nobody remembers those two guys who bumped into Killua and died while an exam wasn't even loving underway. They were on a blimp. Like what the gently caress Killua.

Brought To You By posted:Was this anime original?   Incidentally, among the ones named by Tonpa... Barbon proved to be tenacious even in death as his snakes proved to be hella troublesome. Cherry the martial artist was unparalleled at running away from Hisoka and dying to a tree or whatever. Todo got taken down in one hit by a Hunter and was 'smart' enough to give up on the exams when he realized he couldn't cut it. The Amori Brothers proved to be equally adept at losing together as they were at fighting together. Gereta caught Gon, a human being, the greatest game of all. Then Hisoka killed him.

Somehow forgot about the card in his forehead. Leorio, who tried to fight, lives. Whereas Cherry, who ran away, dies. Considering that Hisoka was carrying Leorio around, it's a sorta hilarious image. Cherry's just running away, and suddenly Hisoka comes and chucks a card into his forehead and pins him to a tree before moving on.

In the manga Menchi never eats the pig, meanwhile, Buhara just devours them all on his own and passes everyone who got one. (Also I too was thinking her name was Machi, but I forgot Buhara's name and looked it up and was reminded that no, Machi is the Phantom Troupe member; Menchi is the Gourmet Hunter's name. It was frustrating because I kept thinking "okay yeah Machi's in the Troupe but I swear that was the Hunter's name too".) Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Jun 7, 2016 |

In the manga each of the gourmet hunters gave separate tests. The fat guy just wanted people to catch pigs and passed the first 50 or whatever to accomplish it, based on his stomach. Menchi wanted people to make sushi, a supposedly obscure foreign dish that no one was familiar with, by analyzing the cooking equipment she provided. Everyone was doing terribly at it through trial and error (including Kurapika, who somehow failed to realize that a knife implies you cut the fish), until Hanzo ruined the test by being from not-Japan and having a loud mouth.
