The reason why the manga keeps going on hiatus is because Togashi isn't making the story up, he's actually travelling into another alternate world where he spends his time following a group of heroes around chronicling their adventures and has to come back ever so often to document it.

HxH has the internet and all sorts of advanced technology. Them having nuclear weapons or near-nuclear weapons isn't particularly surprising.

I assume there are at least some people out there who are absurdly strong but have no idea of Nen, they just have subconsciously set a bunch of rules and limits for themselves. Like Komugi but without the board games.

The details will be a reveal of an additional hiatus which in fact extends backwards, retroactively erasing issues of the manga.

I like the explanations this chapter because they make sense. Chrollo's entire plan depends on Hisoka having to worry about ten different things at once and that only works if you fully explain the power. Hisoka is making decisions based off the information he was given which he wouldn't be doing if Chrollo didn't explain and that might actually work against him because he'll refrain from killing blows he would have gone for otherwise because he isn't sure.

Giving Hisoka a really basic power set is a fantastic idea because rather than it devolving into the usual shonen powerups it means this character is threatening because he's really intelligent about the use of his seemingly basic powers. It helps underline the idea that the super-complex awesome megacool Nen powers with laundry lists of rules are not inherently better than a simple power used intelligently.

I like Leorio because he has an important role in the story that a lot of shonen wouldn't give him. He's the "Krillin" for lack of a better word of the group, the weakest of the lot who is defined by his friendship to the others. He's also the moral center of the group despite being the weakest and HxH is willing to treat that as significent, much as it is willing to actually treat Gon and Killua's and Kurapika's failings as actual failings instead of merely expected parts of the genre.Leorio makes dumb mistakes but is genuinely a good-hearted honest person who wants to help people and while he doesn't get great fighters neither is that treated as a weakness or unimportant.

I doubt Hisoka will pull out a completely unknown trump card but it'll probably be some clever and previously unforeseen property of rubber or gum. Or maybe Texture Surprise. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Ytlaya posted: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). Hisoka enjoys killing on his own terms, he dislikes killing on someone else's terms because it doesn't feed his murderboner.

I'm sure there's someone with like an Absolute Control Territory where you fulfill the condition and nobody can use their Nen inside or something like that. They probably die because someone pulled out a gun and shot them.

Hisoka is using texture surprise to hide himself but he's effectively a walking zombie held together by Nen now which is a hell of a weakness. He's got fake limbs and his body is literally held together by his Nen functioning. He's a zombie and the second he gets put in a situation where he can't depend on Nen he's dead.

I really recommend the 2011 anime. The first arc is a little rough but otherwise it's just an incredibly strong adaptation and honestly superior in a few ways.

A friend of mine didn't ready HxH and only saw the anime and basically got the same Kite experience as I did. People overstate how important that one bit is especially when you're talking about literally solid days of episodes in-between.Asuron posted:Neither does Shank in One Piece other than inspiring Luffy and that's all you know about him for ages. It really isn't the same at all. Shanks is an incredibly important part of Luffy's life. Kite isn't even really mentioned.

I don't think it's really forced. Gon is a dude who forms incredibly strong attachments on basically a moment's notice. He will do insane poo poo for guys he just met.

Kurapika's abilities are interesting because they are absurdly OP but can only be absurdly OP through his massive mental problems that cripple his real potential. It's similar to how Big Gon is insanely overpowered but the only way to get there is through severely loving brain problems. Even the Chairman had absolutely absurd power but only did it by being a crazy person who dedicated his life to violence-meditation. An ongoing thing in HxH isn't just that Nen is powerful it is that Nen is a reflection of who you are and those with the strongest Nen also tend to be the most hosed-up people.

I think Gon died fighting Neferpitou and all of this is just his dying hallucination where he imagined a world where he could have survived, met his dad and his friends had cool adventures.

Gon is a tried and true shonen protagonist who likes fighting, makes friends with dangerous people, and never gives up on a friend. It is just that sometimes maybe those are not always positive traits.

RubberLuffy posted:The 99 series has a few other baffling changes, like the weird obsession with making Kurapika seem female (like hiding his chest from Leorio), and also making it so the three dudes in Heaven's Arena were just faking being disabled. Like, why? I've read the team behind the 99 series thought that Kurapika had to be a woman because of how emotional and yada yada he was.

Parrotine posted:Get bent, that poo poo was awful. Nothing but build up with no delivery for two loving seasons, nobody even fights for crying out loud If you're unhappy with lots of buildup that doesn't lead to epic punchman battles then you should stop watching right here because some of the show's strongest moments are based around characterization and gimmicks rather than fighting. The fact that Heaven's Tower ended with Killua and Gon getting bored and leaving should have been a pretty clear sign of the show's priorities. Edit: It does have some really excellent and amazing fights but it also has lots of non-fights. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Feb 3, 2017 |

HxH is genuinely good about making characters have actual flaws and not the flaw of I'm Too Nice or whatever. The characters are all largely hosed up weirdos and the probably morally strongest guy in the show is Leorio of all people.

Kurapika is interesting because he has an incredibly powerful and important set of powers that do allow him to punch way above his level and despite that they leave him feeling frustrated, ineffectual and impotent. That is entirely the point. He is absurdly powerful and it doesn't matter because his quest for revenge is meaningless and self-destructive and his ability to win isn't the critical central focus of the plot. It is exactly like The King who is the strongest motherfucker around and a horrifying creature who would be the Frieza of any other arc but his story is about his gradual change in personality and development and his eventual defeat is an anti-climax that none the less is completely satisfying because it comes at the end of his character growth.
