Gyges posted:Plus he infused his lungs and heart with bungee gum. That's more than enough to explain sufficient oxygen still getting to his heart somehow. Bungee and gum are both made of rubber, an organic and naturally occurring compound which has oxygen in it's chemical structure. Having both the properties of rubber AND gum at least doubles the amount of oxygen present ensuring more than ample supplies of springy, sticky oxygen to keep him going.

Hisoka wasn't sure if it would work. He had never tried it before, for obvious reasons. Even normal resuscitation can fail, much less delayed magic cpr. Hisoka got very lucky, is all.

I've started reading through this and I'm at Chapter 99 (Killua's dad and granddad vs Chrollo) and my impressions are that the art is pretty awful to begin with and makes it hard to read, the designs of the heroes were off putting, especially Kurapika (I disliked all of him), to begin with and I wasn't mad for the badge stealing part. From then on though, it's been getting a lot better, the Celestial tournament was good poo poo, especially the Hisoka vs Gon stuff. (I know the fight in the 2011 is extremely lauded so I watched that after I read it too, good stuff.) It feels like with the Yorknew arc it's really coming into its own though and the art has found its niche and is good and Kurapika isn't poo poo anymore.

 whoops!e: In any case, the all the chapters since the latest hiatus have been excellent. If Luffy can be an overpowered bastard with only the rubber part then I don't see why Hisoka, who also has gum, can't go on a rampage. trucutru fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jun 14, 2016 |

Togashi's art is pretty rough-hewn at times, it's true, but the dude's got a pretty good eye for composition and panel flow. I can't recall a time I was ever confused by what was happening on the page, as is sometimes the case with other artists. I also like that thing he does where the art's very sparse and simplistic most of the time, but then he'll zoom in on a character's face and suddenly they're rendered in detailed HD.

yeah some really good artists tend to go overboard... like one piece the art is super great, styleized and detailed and in some panels is almost perfect... but often i have NO idea what is going on

My go to example is Trigun, which has great stylized art but whenever action it's happening I find it completely impossible to figure what's happening. It's like there's several seconds of action happening on the same panel and it's just incomprehensible.

Yeah, Nightow's the guy I typically think of whenever this subject comes up. Trigun and Blood Blockade Battlefront are both impossibly cool and impossible to parse.

Anyway, yeah, I really liked this chapter. Still not a huge fan of the Spiders infiltrating yet another arc, but I'm moderately more okay with it given the current change in the status quo. Likewise, it feels like Togashi managed to have his cake and eat it too by killing off Hisoka, having the favorite lose, only to then immediately justify him coming back from the dead; but again, it works because it's a game changer. Things aren't going back to the way they were before, and to boot Hisoka's now potentially scarred forever. Shalnark though. Dude was my favorite Spider after Phinks.

Killua is going to snatch Hisoka's heart out of his chest like he did really early on during the test. That's how Hisoka is going to die, cause he can't pull his bungee gum heart business.

He'll use bungee gum to form invisible veins and arteries so his heart is still working outside his body, then just stuff it back in after Killua leaves

My favorite part about Shalnark is how he looked like a generic shonen protagonist or party member, but was actually a member of an evil organization.

The first half of the Chimera Ant arc is the weakest arc in Hunter x Hunter, but the second half is one of the best.

I wonder who was trying to call Shalnark. The biggest 2 options would probably be Machi or Chrollo, I guess? Machi could have gotten herself free to warn him. Or maybe after hanging up Chrollo realized he lost Kortopi's powers and was calling Shalnark to warn him that something was wrong. Or maybe it was someone else entirely.

i bet shalnark was everyone's buddy in the spiders so he ended up talking with them on the phone a lot. so really, it was actually several people trying to get ahold of him. he just seemed like an everyone's buddy kind of guy, you know?

I like the subsequent training arc because it reminds you that despite all the progress from Greed Island, Gon and Killua are still easily outclassed.

Also seeing the three pro hunters methodically pick off Chimera Ants one by one was cool as heck. The part between the training arc and the actual palace assault was pretty slow imo, but the fights were cool.

That one page where Hisoka is walking behind Gon and Killua with the split panel focusing on their arses is legit genius.
