There's really no meaning in making beetles fight.

Around the time Knuckle shows up is when Chimera Arc starts getting good (it's still pretty good as a manga compared to its peers before that) and by the end it's just bizarrely great.

good opinions. Chimera ant is better the more knuckle is on screen at any one time.

It was not written that way. Pitou had no gender pronouns given to her in the manga. Viz when first seeing Pitou decided to assume Male and kept it that way even as Pitou's femininity became more clear. The Anime used Pitou's most recent disign from the start giving Pitou a clear bust and hips.

All official material recently released refers to Pitou as a female.

Prior to that, her personality is mostly a sort of playful, amoral... Not sadism, but, well, she enjoys "playing" with people and experimenting on them and stuff. Kind of, well, like a cat, appropriately enough. She winds up developing over the course of the arc, it's just less obvious since she's in the background more and she isn't as insane as Pouf.

I think Pitou's emotional development was really obvious by the end, as early Pitou would absolutely not have apologized to Gon nor said "If this human dies, his majesty will no longer be his majesty."

yeah pitou goes through like 4 iterations or some poo poo




So that's basically intro Pitou vs End-game Pitou.

It was rough at times following the manga as it was coming out, but reading it all together or watching it in the anime, I think the timer in that arc is incredibly hype.

I'm not sure, but there's fourteen princes and fourteen pods, so, the king might be planning something involving all his children dying? Or maybe the fourteenth is for him and it'll benefit the eventual victor. There's really not much to go on.

Also interesting is (note, this is going based on the leaks that were posted earlier as well as this, since this translation's pretty rough) Kurapika's theory that someone withdrawing might break the condition for the battle. I have a feeling that's not going to be how it works, since among other things the king didn't seem perturbed by Halkenberg's declaration a few chapters ago, but we'll see.

I don't think a single person is gonna change things by withdrawing on account of this thing going on for several centuries. Nen is powered by conviction and theres a huge stockpile of it.

It could be that it's always been a requirement for the bodies of all the participating candidates to be used for the purpose of fueling the pot? The way the final room is laid out, I believe the pot is contained in the center of the formation. We still don't fully understand the rules here, we only know that it's possible for an object to contain the aura of it's creator if they put their effort and willpower into it. But that was just putting traces of their aura into it, not something as complex as being a factory for nen-beast seeds and an emitted fairy.

It'd fit with him almost becoming president of the Hunter Association.

From now on, every arc ends with Leorio attaining a position of ever greater power, then giving it away.

The publishers of Weekly Shounen Jump and a FUCKTON of other magazines / video games. Narita did the same thing with the main mafia group in Durarara!!.

Taking the piss of your publishers is a well-established fashion for manga / anime / novel writers.

Yeah, I was going to say, their MHA translations are good but this is really stilted and weird. The MS translation is actually better, or at least feels considerably more natural.
