i think the magic of hxh for me is how it takes completely ridiculous things seriously and treats them with a lot of skill and detail, such as the nen powers and the fights in the chimera ant saga

it has this sense of pressure that most shonen series lack, especially when characters are trying to figure each other out!

This thread is making me feel the pain. It should not have existed, so that I would not have to remember how great HxH is and how much the hiatus sucks. My pain can be mended by posting gifs of Hisoka being Hisoka.

The Phantom Troupe dude that does creepy voodoo whistle dances using the holes in his body is the best

Yeah the Buddha is a cleverly written ability because it follows the rules and idea of Nen so closely. Netero mastered supersonic movement so he restricted his giant summon by tying it into really precise and fast hand movements.

I thought it wasn't Gon at his maximum potential, just Gon at as strong as he'd need to be to defeat Pitou. Which says more about how strong Pitou/Netero was than anything else since Netero effortlessly swatted her aside.

The idea that Gon could now kill Meruem was an observation on Pitou's part. We don't actually know what Gon wanted, only that he wanted to be strong enough to avenge Kite, eg. kill Pitou and possibly also Meruem.

Also, even if it was Gon at his maximum potential, it was still Gon only possessing the technique/knowledge of his kid self. An actual Gon who had trained for that many years would be a way more sophisticated Nen user and a much wiser person in general, but then again it's Gon so maybe he'd have learned nothing :mrwhite:

E: Also Kastro owns because he's a good example of how appearances mean nothing when it comes to Nen. The subtle bungee gum crap Hisoka does, is endlessly more powerful than his manta style bullshit.

I really really like Hunter x Hunter and hope Yoshihiro Togashi gets better both because back problems suck major rear end and even just having had the occasional minor achiness that comes along with everyday life I feel for him, as well as because he's a tremendously talented storyteller whose work would be missed dearly if he were forced to retire early.

i too share this sentiment

:rip: Togashi.

Why can't we just use nen powers to transfer Togashi's pain to Kubo.

Kubo suffers from mental anguish from being unable to only draw 2 page fashion spreads. Togashi suffers from physical torment. They are two sides of the same coin.

one of the things i really like about hxh are the cartoony and exaggerated character designs, there are a lot of really cool minor characters that I remember because of their design
