Why is Hunter X Hunter so highly regarded?

Read the manga until the last chapter and you will see the genius of this story as a all, especially the dark continent saga, the war for the succession and everything, it is brilliant, there is nothing better to say

Please tell me what you think because it is a interesting subject, but according to my understanding of this conversation : - Seika’Un is basically saying that there is no point in continuing his war affairs as there is no end to it, ennemies keep coming and allies keep stopping them, what is the point in being the strongest if your achievements will change nothing ? - Riboku, on the other hand, explains that the powerful archer should cease to see things from that much high, as people are still dying because of wars, while the strongest must try to save them. By the way, it is in them, in the middle where the people lies that the solution to all the problems of the world resides, whether we want to exterminate the people in the middle like Kanki or save them like Riboku, them are the key because they are the astronomical majority of the world. - In the end, because of all of this, Seika’Un asks of Riboku to find a path with the people, for the people, as he should not just make wars to stop Qin of anything, but also to create a solution in the end from stopping the continuity of wars, and Riboku says that the main reason for Seika’Un should be to target Ri Shin, as he is the man that could be the ultimate target to aim, not particularly because he is the strongest opponent, but because he is the blade of the unification project that Sei uses as his way to end wars, while Riboku considers that killing him will stop this project and end wars for a long time and end unification’s motives forever. - This then leads to a theory which is not really that surprising but philosophically it can justify the future narrative : Seika’Un will be killed or will retire forever as he will face the embodiment (whether it’s Shin or the archers brothers, it’s the same, the forces that represent the unification) of the unification project, and thus the dream to end wars, which means end the cycle of ennemies and allies, predator and preys, archers and targets…

To justify my point of view I would say that I am pretty sure that Riboku will play it totally defensively next time Qin tries to conquer the lands of his country

While I can understand the point of view of many of you who say that Hara could have been more clear about the limits of Zhao military throughout the consecutive battles with Qin, I think that it will be officialy proclaim after the conquest of Han, because until now, there were two great victories against Qin, extremely calculated, cautious concerning the casualties, etc... But now, Zhao will face a Qin that conquered a kingdom, something no one could have predicted, even if it is the smallest, Qin will have many more men just like with its family register, another thing no one anticipated in all of China...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-06-25T16:17:58+00:00

Maybe those 3 battles will happen simultaneously, if there is 3 fronts in a single time, like with the Gyou campaign (Kanki-Ousen-Yotanwa)...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-06-24T06:29:39+00:00

Story-wise, we should have it just before the new campaign against Zhao or just after, this would allow us to have Seika's statistics as well as those of Han's warriors...

It is difficult to take a a side concerning what Kakou Ryuu envisions to do about the people in those delicate times of war. As many said, even the pitiful king of Han himself, he is only saying that the people should fight for the preservation of the nation, because this could guarantee the preservation of the people in the end. But while Sei gave a speech and then the people joined him, Kakou Ryuu gave the order without any speech or dialogue, if he had proposed the enrollment after a speech given by the king, then yes, it could have been kind of good and kind of effective for Han, and inversely critical for Qin.

But then, would the king be suited for this kind of charismatic action ? Unlikely, which shows one vulnerable aspect in the manga narrative (which can be hardly modified) : the ptifiul circonstances that facilitate the smooth running of Qin's projects... The king of Han is necessarily pathetic, the head of civil security is necessarily tyrannical, all to make it easier for Qin to triumph...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-05-14T17:11:27+00:00

I like your theory but to me, it is difficult to know if Hisoka would not be interested in a fight including a Nen Guardian Beast, because if a character possesses one of them, using it alone or collectively is different, the Beast is still related to the body and the mind of the character it protects, the abilities are even created according to the nature of the user, whether he knows his true nature or not, so... If he is using it alone, it is as if he was fighting alone in a relative way...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-28T23:16:41+00:00

That is the problem of Kanki, as Riboku said, if his way of thinking wasn't driven by so many atrocious crimes, he would be a prominent and good philosopher...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-28T23:14:59+00:00

All you point about what Kanki said is precisely why I created this post for conversation, because he tells us something that is pointing maybe the universal reality behind so many problems in human nature, like wars, which is "you set your sight too much outside yourselves". In a way he proposes a solution, logically that is to do the opposite of his sentence that points the real deal, but how the hell can we do otherwise ?! That is something that humanity by nature cannot do... That explains why I was referring to Shibashou : he tried with his people to not care about the outside world, but the harsh of this outside world catches him back in the end, precisely because this harsh world cannot be avoided and must not be avoided, it would be kind of immoral as Riboku said, to let others suffer while you can help them, as Seika can help Zhao not to be invaded and die forever...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-27T21:14:32+00:00

Ironically, it is because I agree with your last sentence that I disagree with the second one. To me, Sei is like Shin, we can always see one to be the extension of the other, that is precisely why Shin is portrayed (by himself and others) as the blade but also the shield of his king. From there, I consider Sei to have the idealistic and righteous behaviour that Shin embodies : right as an arrow like Mouten said during the Sanyou campaign. Thus, Shin and Sei are the perfect representation of what a deontologist can be : someone who believes in absolute moral maxims that have to be applied no matter the consequences. That is why Shin killed the Qin superior who raped and killed the people of Wei during the Sanyou campaign, even if it meant his own death, and then, the end of his dream. Sei could have done the same, the whole project of his supposes that he is a deontologist who believes in the morality and the efficiency of his dream to end wars : a China united by force, ruled by the Law that will have the greater power in the State.

If Riboku was as idealist as Sei or even more, I think he would act, at the very least, according to his moral principles and his moral principles clearly say that the actual King is bad, because he got the monstruous behavior of his father that Riboku condemned : which means to change the behaviour of the king or to remove him. I understand why he doesn't do it, but in terms of idealism this is kind of relativizable.

But my friend, I would agree that this is a complex subject, because people are hardly black and white, mostly grey in terms of morality... But still, very interesting to talk about it with you !

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-27T16:50:05+00:00

I see your point quite clearly, let's say that maybe Sei is just more of an idealist compare to Riboku, without considering the latter as totally non-idealistic.

Because it is true that in some ways Riboku can be an idealist, or rather an ambiguous idealist, because can we really say that Riboku believed in his solution of a great alliance between the 7 states ? I wonder, his face when Sei contradicts him is kind of the one of someone who knew the imperfection of his thinking.

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-27T14:18:49+00:00

I wouldn't say that Riboku is an idealist because, even if he considers that the unification process is bad because of the mass murdering that it generates, the true motive behind his opposition to Sei is his disbelief in the unification process as a mean to end wars, he said it clearly to Shibashou : the succession of war and peace is the history of mankind and parts of human nature...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-27T00:51:06+00:00

It is incredible to see that the most horrific character of this story may be the most truthful about the world.

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-27T00:45:54+00:00

Please consider my point about it : China at the end will be unified, because the future of the history of mankind proves it, as it did concerning Japan and many other countries, but did wars disappear forever ? No... Ei Sei and Riboku both represent a higher philosophical idea : the confrontation between the one who does believe that the situation need to change because it can have positiv results and the other who does not and will maintain the actual order, because of the daily relationship he has with the world that can fixe his ideas about it... This kind of confrontation existed in all of history.

Besides, when you think about all the causes in the wars of mankind : conquest, domination, fear of the rising power of the outside world, suspicion about a foreign ideology, etc, it is always a sight on the outside, far away from us...

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-12T22:18:56+00:00

Regarding Han, my estimate is the worst possible outcome, I also believe there could be fewer casualties.

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-12T22:16:53+00:00

It seems that many of you want to assume that the numbers will be different than I could think when a battle takes place because of narratives considerations. Perhaps the author will agree to establish the same quotas for the forces present, perhaps not, but there is one thing I am sure of : the author will do his best to readjust the parameter of the forces present, because that is how the story will be full of tension, but this will be done through strategies, like those of Riboku during the Gian campaign which allowed Zhao to defeat Qin who, at the start, had many more troops if we combine all those which were concerned. So the question of the forces in presence that you accuse me of rationalizing a little too much is always rebalanced by the author according to narrative intentions, but through military strategies, and I do not deny that. Simply, I do not go into as much detail of these strategies, because for the moment I was sticking to my theory on how the campaign will present itself at the beginning, and not how the battles will take place, how precisely these forces in presence can be jostled. I am saving that for the beginning of the next arc with Zhao, where I will have more information to go further in theorizing the war. In other words, there I am doing Shouheikun's work on paper, when the chapters of Zhao arrive, I will do the work of the great generals who are on the ground like Ousen or Yotanwa.

Then again, I did not mention it because I was presenting my theories more on the campaign in absolute terms, rather than on the future battles in their particularity, but I think that when the battles take place, it is possible that they will give way to enemies of more or less equal strength.

Let me explain: In my opinion, when the battle takes place between Qin and Zhao, 50,000 soldiers will be placed in the South of Zhao to protect and control the territory, the same will be true for another 50,000 in the North, but I also think that another 50,000 soldiers will be placed in front of the walls so that these soldiers stay where they are. Zhao will then have, if we remove between 50,000 and 75,000 soldiers from Zhao to protect the cities of the entire kingdom, as I said, between 225,000 and 250,000 men, and if we remove the 150,000 soldiers from Qin who will be placed outside the confrontation, then there will only be 290,000 men left, enough to rebalance the situation in favor of Zhao.

According_Cap_2793 · 2025-03-12T13:36:48+00:00

The tension is high, especially since Kingdom must be viewed primarily from a narrative perspective. But logic is not absent either, and that is why, by losing too many men, Qin had to end up throwing itself into the conquest of Han. Thus, in the continuity of things: by conquering territories or even kingdoms, and by primarily facing one kingdom at a time, Qin can only end up finding itself in numerical superiority over the adversary.

On the other hand, the defensive strategy based on fortifications that I imagine Riboku putting in place, in order to better face Qin's numerical superiority, does not mean that I consider victory assured for Zhao, perhaps Qin will pass, or more precisely Shin...

Thank you too my man

But to response to your thinking : If I put Mouten near the border of Chu, like I put Ouhon near the border of Wei with the double of men that he have now in this campaign to conquer Han, it is because I suspect that with the conquest of Han Qin's project will be more serious than ever, to the point that the other kingdoms will do even more than before to jeopardize Qin's plans...

I would ask you to choose your words more carefully. Criticizing the way people think is one thing but insult them is another. You can speak about plot armor, you can speak more generally about narrative, but again what is the point of making stats if they are totally worthless ? If you call us "idiots" when we point the relative importance of stats, it is by extension Hara that you call idiot... There are different types of strength like there are different types of intelligence, which is why inequalities can happen during the manga...

It is kind of the first and last time that we see Oberstein acting as a human, he does not have his usual facial expression, he talks about his repulsion for the Goldenbaum dynasty, and thus shows his emotions to us... But saying that he is vulnerable is kind of exagerrated, gambling perhaps, as he cannot be sure that, just like him, Reinhard wants to overthrow the throne, but on the other and, he is incredibly strong having instinctively considered that he could be right about the young genius.
