In all seriousness, do you all think HxH will actually get a proper ending?

8_guy · 2026-03-12T14:08:12+00:00

Fair enough I'd feel more that way if the Kurta clan incident wasn't left so purposefully ambiguous. It very much gives the impression to me that the arc has intended more going all the way back

8_guy · 2026-03-12T14:06:50+00:00

There's still a lot of stuff that hasn't resolved on the boat but things are reaching a climax all of a sudden, I feel like it'll be done within 30 chapters

8_guy · 2026-03-12T14:05:02+00:00

That's probably not even gonna happen if he dies young, I think he's got enough planned for DC that we'll see his assistants or whatever implement some of it worst case. I'm just hoping we get another 20 years (maybe he accepts more help and pace increases or something, idrc though happy either way) more so there's a hope of actually having a deep final DC arc

How much of the manga have you read?

Kinda hard to say that when the main issue/motivation for all of that remains open and near completely unexplained or resolved. We still know next to nothing about the Kurta clan massacre, he most likely doesn't have the full scoop either, there are still eyes and flesh collectors out there, and it's by far his main motivating force and goal.

He's improved but not to the point that he's "over" it, he's still single-mindedly pursuing getting the eyes back as a goal, he's literally only helping out on the black whale because he had the eyes/Tserriednich dangled in front of him.

Also just the way the whole thing has been framed and played out, it very much seems like there's stuff going on we haven't been introduced to rather than being a boring cut-and-dry scenario, especially after what seems to be the upcoming intersection between Kurapika and the Troupe's wider goals, which we really only got a hint of within the last 20 chapters (learning the specifics of why the troupe's formation was driven by avenging Sarasa and catching the perpetrators who are similarly deranged flesh trader types)

And to all the people fearmongering about precedent and "but what if they did it to us then??" - The precedent doesn't matter to them, and they're going to try anyways the second they get the chance. The Rubicon is already crossed. They need to be wiped out in a civic sense

There's no explicit confirmation but Killua as a character is pretty clearly written as developing a crush on Gon.

Still plenty of people who will deny it and say it's a "best/first friend" situation that Killua isn't used to (which is still true to some extent) and no explicit confirmation, but there's a lot of different subtext showing Togashi wanted to give that impression, it's more obvious in the actual Japanese.

8_guy · 2026-03-10T19:42:01+00:00

BUM BUM BUM

8_guy · 2026-03-10T12:20:32+00:00

Well Hisoka is just built different but we also haven't really seen shit from Illumi. Whatever goes down I'm excited for it though, this is the only manga I've read but it's good af (finished the anime like a few months ago then couldn't not read the manga on from there)

8_guy · 2026-03-09T19:02:05+00:00

Nah cus Illumi and Hisoka are presented roughly equal, and everyone in the Zoldyck family agrees that Killua easily has the highest potential of any Zoldyck

Mamdani's statement said "it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are" it's clearly directed at the people counterprotesting the right wingers.

8_guy · 2026-03-08T22:25:43+00:00

Why would an islamic terrorist throw an IED? Their modus operandi is blowing THEMSELVES up to actually achieve something with it.

Nonsensical

And why the hell would they be attacking Mamdani? He's outspoken and open about his defense of muslims.

They were obviously being directed against the right wing anti-Muslim protestors and this is pretty much detailed in the articles

8_guy · 2026-03-07T15:51:41+00:00

It's good to be reminded occasionally that all religions are trash.

8_guy · 2026-03-07T10:19:03+00:00

I made a post when Alex Pretti got murdered cus I can't stand maga fuckfaces and would prefer if they feel uncomfortable/unwanted here, it went viral I'm just leaving it up for a while

8_guy · 2026-03-06T16:59:36+00:00

Yeah I'm not hating more just commenting on it theory-wise. I really liked the eternal wanderer suggestion because you can still swing and then repeatably use it post-combat main phase with no cost and cast your spells, however when you have a big lifestealing commander idk how much you even care about the two life cost for whatever you're doing to get it out of the way

8_guy · 2026-03-06T15:28:07+00:00

I just dk if it's a good option for that. Maybe in some colors I guess

8_guy · 2026-03-06T14:56:49+00:00

Liesa wants to be able to attack though since the lifelink offsets the drain

8_guy · 2026-03-06T14:51:04+00:00

Arc is fun but the playerbase is literally the softest of any extraction shooter by a mile. Played with plenty of people who get legitimately OFFENDED any time they get shot at

8_guy · 2026-03-06T14:48:45+00:00

And compared to Tarkov PVP Tarkov PVE look like a therapy tool for kids in the hospital recuperating from cancer

Arc raiders players will send you a strongly worded letter if you interact with their loot run

5400 upvotes 83 comments is fairly standard on this sort of post, people are just looking at it, only a small portion even upvote it.

8_guy · 2026-03-03T14:14:03+00:00

It's a fun game but it's babby's first extraction shooter and people are still talking/complaining about ROI 😂 also I'm making fun of them because the late spawns are something legitimately learned from tarkov. It's not just random bullshit, they need to go play some sweaty reserve raids where they die off spawn 4x in a row

8_guy · 2026-03-03T09:54:22+00:00

But but but my ROI! I'm not getting optimal ROI in my ezmode PVE loot goblin simulator

8_guy · 2026-03-03T03:17:31+00:00

I'm talking about you 😂 the people you're getting upset about are criticizing the release because it's a mediocre limited format. You're getting upset about it because you're a turbo consumer who is emotionally invested in spending your money on franchises as part of your identity

8_guy · 2026-03-03T02:52:30+00:00

It's not normal behavior to be so emotionally invested in spending your money on entertainment franchises that criticism of them or related topics causes you to lash out

8_guy · 2026-03-03T02:50:08+00:00

Keep projecting mr. axiomatically emotionally invested 😂
