I had an incredibly detailed dream the other night that the series started up again in a different Jump magazine and would release every other saturday.. Also for some reason older versions of the Yu Yu Hakusho cast were going to show up as side characters.
Waking up was a bitch. On the other hand, I did come up with what was supposedly the best pickup line ever and managed to write it down as I woke up. In case you're wondering it's "I want to open your vagina and throw my dick at your insides"

So I'm just wrapping up greed island in the show. How far does the anime go before it veers from manga content?

If you're watching the 2011 version, it never does. It goes up to 9 chapters before where the manga currently is at.
Actually, the 99 version doesn't either because Greed Island is where it ends.

For what it's worth, the previous king has a nen beast that looks like what a baby might produce, so I'd lean towards Woble's beast being strong rather than weak.

Was that tittymonster the king's? I thought it was Tsereidnich's since it looked so hosed up

I think she might already be doing some of the drawing. The character designs seem to have gotten kind of Sailor Moon-ish lately.

She definitely fixed up the drawings in the Chimera Ant arc, so that would make sense.

So do people know that Chrollo is the head of the spiders? If so it seems like a pretty big deal he'd be there at the arena. Speaking of weird things about the Heaven's Tower, were they always ok with the ref and audience being collateral damage?

I get the distinct feeling that Hisoka and Chrollo aren't exactly playing by the rules anymore and never intended to in the first place.

Well yeah, but the announcer seems to treat it as no big deal.

When Togashi said he had ideas for 3 more arcs, I wonder if he's counting the Prince succession boat arc and the dark continent itself as separate arcs? Because I MIGHT be able to believe that those two will finish eventually.

A lot of people assumed Pitou was a male because she/he/it uses masculine pronouns when referring to itself, but it's not uncommon for girls to use those too, especially in manga. When other people refer to Pitou I think it's always gender neutral. The official English version of the manga uses he/him though.

Alluka, on the other hand...

Where'd he say that? Cause I've always just figured the series only had around three more arcs in it, so it's kinda weird to me that my hunch might be inexplicably right.

I googled it and it turns out I was remembering wrong! He said in 2011 that he had about 3-4 ideas for arcs after the ant arc.

Kurapika intentionally refused to use the proper level of respect for his elder despite being corrected 2 times. Leorio then talked poo poo about Kurapika's clan and a duel was on. It was 60-40 Kurapika/Leorio fighting over dumb poo poo.

Age based honorifics seem like a real pain in the rear end.

The honorifics are fine, it's using humble speech and acting respectful that sucks

Hisoka has a very small edge in that Chrollo would likely prefer to take him alive. While Chrollo obviously isn't dependent on his current power combo, consider what he could do with exploding puppets if bungee gum was added to the mix.

Besides, who wouldn't want to have the power of both rubber and gum?

I really don't think Chrollo wants to take him alive. This strikes me as more of an "okay fine, lets get this out of the way so I don't have to deal with you chasing me" thing.

Next on Chrollo's list is probably Kurapika, but I don't see him ending up on the dark continent. It's not like Greed Island where the troupe can sail there.

They cut the cooking section out of the 2011 anime, right? I don't remember seeing it outside of the manga.

At the end Hisoka says there's 10 more to go... That means they found a replacement for either Paku or Uvo but not both, right? So there's one spider we haven't seen yet. I'm assuming it's a new character but I suppose there's a possibility we might know them. I'm reminded of the guy we saw drawing what looked like a spider tattoo in the background of one of the panels with Tsereidnich, but I think the next chapter had that as part of a larger pattern on some flesh hanging on his wall.

No, he wanted her to be the messenger. It's possible he just doesn't plan to kill her in particular.

Mangastream's translators make a fairly decent amount of mistakes, and whoever writes the dialogue (the editor I guess?) insists on making it the way it is. They throw profanity in and try to use lots of slang and colloquial expressions regardless of whether or not it fits the manga they're translating and cal it "localization" (mostly apparent with One Piece) and insist that HxH should be as wordy as it is because of how complex the manga is or something like that. I forget the exact reason they used. Also they Leave "oi" untranslated and use the phrase "you lot" a ton so I always end up reading character's voices in a cockney accent.

Could you transmute your aura into crystals? Or would that be conjuring? It'd be cool if someone could like, turn their aura into a diamond-consistently to make both cool barriers around them or rad claws/blades.

Well, that's pretty useful for spying to be fair. Since the largest thing it can control is a hamster and there just so happens to be a prince with a pet hamster, I'm wondering if we're getting some tactical hamster espionage action soon

Kurapika is loving OP

Actually Its more materialization having no limits which is kinda silly

Well, presumable this new ability requires the person he's taking nen from to either be restrained or willingly submit to it. He's gotta draw the nen out with a syringe, and most enemies wouldn't just sit there and let him do it. Hence, the need for allies.

Isn't the way Luffy uses gears slowly killing him? Or was that before Silvers Rayleigh trained him? :ohdear:

I think it did, but the latter is entirely possible. Ivankov's hormone injections during the war arc also were supposed to shorten his life. I'm guessing it's set up for him to be dying at the end of the series so Chopper can develop his dream medicine and cure him.

I want another Hisoka+Kurapika team up really bad, but I'm not sure how feasible that would be. I'm pretty sure Hisoka wants to kill the spiders himself and Yorknew ended with Kurapika focusing on getting back the scarlet eyes rather than hunting down the troupe. Then again, I'm sure there are situations where teaming up could be beneficial for them in this arc.

So would a valid Kurapika counter be to trick him into stealing an ability he can't use? Like, say, some vengeance ability conditioned to only work on one specific person in the world who just happens to not be around at the moment.

Yep. If he happened to steal an ability similar to his chain jail he's hosed.

I believe there's still no explanation for that other than "Ging is OP." I'm guessing his ability is that he can copy someone else's ability if he sees it (and probably can only do it once each time he's seen it)

He outright says he's using Leorio's power to avoid showing pariston his own, and from the beginning he's been established as one of the top nen users in the world, so I'd say that it's just him being OP.
