I just call him Thirdreich, works well enough.

Also I like how Togashi blew up writing a manga about a ghost detective and nowadays he basically ghosts us thru manga.

Benjamin is my favorite prince because his name is easy to spell.

I hope he wins for that reason, unless Togashi reveals that his name is something like Hblyawnefannuwoaeyyasime.

Zhang Lei's Nen beast is definitely one of my favorite designs, both in aesthetic and the many layers of symbolism in it, though I'm curious what exactly it does. Based on the in-comic speculation, it might not actually be that useful in this contest, unfortunately for him.

It seems his should have a short-term use for the purposes of the boat, but long term the effects will be better. At the very least the value of the coins, or at least the number displayed on them seems to correspond to the number of days the ship has been sailing so either it represents the number of coins in circulation or some other metric for the "bank". I do agree that of the princes; Benjamin, Zhang, and Halkenburg are the standouts. Which is no surprise since they are all the most pro-active princes now excluding Camille who is just bland purely because she has no other layers like the other princes.

My eternal frustration however, is that I still cannot pinpoint whoever the user of Silent Majority is. My top suspect was all but cleared by Rihan, so that leaves one of the maids again. And with a new class starting for Kurapika it seems I won't get the chance to see Silent Majority in action again unless they exploit the vents.

actually, you won't get a chance to see it in action again because the manga will never get that far if it returns at all.

if togashi doesnt re-start the manga again this year imma have to agree, he doesn’t have another 20 years for this arc, the DC arc, and then one more hunter reform/hunters hunting hunters arc into whatever an ending would be

I'm sorry, I have to take this call.
Yeah I was surprised at how sad the ending to the chimera ant arc was

basically none of the villains get a real satisfying death, it’s either being beat to death by an overpowered Gon (who basically was willing to kill himself if it meant killing Pitou), or woops, you’re dead of radiation poisoning

Like it doesn’t feel satisfying, and I mean that in a positive way.

Last Celebration

Tbh I would kind of feel ripped off if the royal guard got real fights, the fact that Miniature Rose wasn’t specifically an anti-ant FUBAR contingency and something people made for killing other people feels pretty gross in a deliberate, brutal way, especially the end result being a LOT of people infected by Pouf’s scales.

Actually tbh poo poo ends up a lot better than I ever would have imagined, when they revealed that Meruem was dying I 100% expected that he would just die without ever meeting Komugi again, or at least only see her for a few seconds and not actually get to die together (which itself would probably be sadder if Komugi didn’t have such a sad life), or the villagers just accepting Reina, which ends up making me more emotional than what a lot of other shows would have done with a more negative endings


Also oddly poignant is the fact that Pitou actually had enough humanity to actually be honest with Gon which very much led to her death, and Pitou’s last thoughts were “thank god this crazy kid is wasting all his potential killing ME and not the King”


HxH is really good y’all, sorry to contribute to the “no chapter thread revival” to say something so obvious

I'm sure there's a sense of personal pride in not letting another artist take over for him, but at this point, it's just ridiculous. The other thing is that he might have set up a plot so intricate and complex he can't at least write another volume.

No if Togashi was not going to make anymore chapters or was changing the format he would have said so already I think. Pretty sure this is just another long hiatus.

if togashi repeats the 60 odd chapters in 8ish years we'll probably only be in the middle of the DC, and that's assuming he keeps at this pace (or this arc ending in 30ish chapters)

At this point I don’t see a reason for him to change unless he starts facing his own mortality.

Even then might just let it go unfinished

melody is so nice that she put her own goal on hold to keep an eye on kurapika, who is a self destructive mess. there's no reason to believe that any of that cursed music is on the ship, much less in the dark continent so this is very long detour.

I mean, you have all the threats which could basically end the world brought back by every expedition . Finding a musical piece which kills anyone who hears it wouldn’t be out of place on the dark continent

even if the music originated in the dark continent, that's not what melody is after. she wants to find the copies of the sheet music that already exist and destroy them. also, kurapika wasn't planning to go to the real dark continent, just the fake one that most of the passengers are disembarking at. if the story miraculously gets that far i'd expect kurapika would end up continuing along with leorio and ging, but that's not something he's planned.
