Brought To You By posted:I honestly just think it's incredibly well written for manga and very much enjoy re-reading it. I can honestly say I occasionally learn new things when I come back to the story as well, especially the current arc. I can imagine that guy trying it on one of the spiders and Chrollo taking it purposefully to reuse it on him

I've said it before but I'll always love that Chrollo's power is essentially just, "If you explain your power to me, it's my power now," and because he lives in a shounen setting you just inherently appreciate how useful that is.

Genthru from the Greed Island arc also had "if you listen to me explain my power, you're dead."

Hunter X Hunter is one of the only series I remember where they realize telling someone your special power is a really loving stupid thing to do and so it’s used as either a trick (Gentru, Knuckle) or implicitly as a power boost with Chrollo making “my opponent has to know my nen abilities for my bookmark to work” as a feature.

Jujutsu Kaisen takes this from HxH and uses it for how cursed techniques work. if someone bothers to explain their power in-universe it makes that technique stronger against that opponent. Plus a couple of characters mislead their opponent by leaving out key nuances to their power so their opponent focuses on the wrong aspect. Another series that does this is 'Battle in 5 seconds after Meeting' which is another series where information warfare is pretty heavily present as a concept. The Main character is given the power to have any power his target thinks he has and he really has to work that angle without having his trick revealed usually by playing off people's expectations or analysis of him or having a willing partner to smooth things over. But in addition to him there are dozens of characters that fudge the understanding of their powers and give out faulty explanations because again, the goal is to get someone to make the wrong assumption and eat poo poo because of it.

JJK especially with the newest arc is really feeling like a HxH match with how crazy and interesting powers can be and how they can be used and countered in fun ways. The newest guy who just turned up has been in maybe four chapters tops but his power is just a slam-dunk the same way Knuckle's was.

said JJK character’s power is also based on pachinko, whose rule sets are infamously convoluted, so when he activates his ability its explanation is forced into his opponent’s head all at once and leaves them disoriented

RIP forever that Gin in Bleach ate poo poo only character to come up with the tactic of "lie about what my power is so my opponent focuses on the wrong thing"

Clarste posted:Genthru from the Greed Island arc also had "if you listen to me explain my power, you're dead." Yeah, that's Hxh in a nutshell. It's shonen, but Togashi also likes to playfully re-examine or reinterpret shonen concepts; or even famous shonen moments (Goku turnning to SSJ, Gon doing the same but with more consequences and in a more dramatic, impactful arc).

I’m sure there’s probably at least one other instance of it, but I still think Gon-san is the one instance I can recall of the protagonist’s powered up state capturing the tone of Super Saiyan; that is to say the mindset of Goku just snapping completely when his childhood friend got brutally murdered basically for shits and giggles and becoming a much different person too.

The real question is, are the chapters scribbles he drew on a napkin that have to be cleaned up in the volume release like he's done previously or is he actually drawing them properly.

All the sketches we get a glimpse of really do make it seem like Togashi can hardly even hold a pen these days. Like there’s no way he’s just making GBS threads it out with low effort to get a paycheck, because the poo poo that’s going on DOES have a lot of thought put into it. These sketches are so rough but still look great. Also I’m not sure if that tweet means three chapters or three volumes. Only time will tell. I’ll say it again though, I’d be fine if Togashi just finished it up as a light novel.

They could ask the other authors in Jump to draw chapters in a rotating schedule, make it like a magazine event. This week Horikoshi draws it, then Matsui, then the JJK mangaka (you'd have to phisycally restrain him to make him stop drawing HxH). I don't think anybody would even say no, 1 week of talking to Togashi probably makes you a better mangaka than a lifetime of listening to Jump editors. (Though his main advices would be not to draw a weekly manga, or to get a good contract, so Jump would never do this idea).

Also to the people saying let someone else draw/write HxH, it's pretrty obvious that Togashi has a lot of pride as an artist, and he doesn't want to let anyone tell the story but him, at least while he's still alive and kicking.

I think one of his old assistants made a strip about his time working under Togashi and he straight up asked the man why he doesn't allow anyone to ink the characters. Togashi's response was that he'd cease to be a mangaka if he did. I'll find the relevant page later but yeah, the man has a lot of pride in doing his own work. edit: Here's the pages. This was back when Togashi was working on YYH and not much seems to have changed on this front.

I'm sure this isn't new, but I'm happy to see validation from Togashi that all of the queer-rear end characters in HxH probably are queer. I figured as much after how explicit he was with Alluka, but still, it's nice to know.
