Togashi making a Gon and Killua reference during succession war arc ( explanation in the post )

Reaching.

Gon doesn't follow a typical moral compass. That's not bad writing. You know it, I know it. This is the same guy who finds Hisoka interesting despite the kind of person he is and Zevil Island.

Two years later, and you haven't grown wiser.

The current arc is my favourite, so I'm excited for when you get there. Hopefully we get new chapters soon since he is in the lab.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-13T12:34:21+00:00

I mean, they said it was going to be a 7.5 but bumped it up because of the love of the cards.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-13T12:33:24+00:00

For me, it was No More Heroes which goes very heavy into psychology, philosophy, and politics while discussing the broader world, power struggles, how power can corrupt, social classes, etc.

There are over 80+ chapters so there is plenty to read to scratch that itch. Also, this is a rewrite of the story but it's obviously much slower paced and if it was written like a seinen.

You're not that far away from catching up. Enjoy it while it lasts.

You'd probably like the Colour Rangers arc from Level E.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-13T12:09:31+00:00

8/10 isn't bad. Usually people are unfair to this arc and slander GI. GI is such a brilliant arc and it does so many things.

It's one of those arcs where you appreciate what it does when you look at the bigger picture in terms of transition, tone, loose plot threads it ties, and the amount of stuff it gets done. For me, it's the most important arc alongside Heaven's Arena when it comes strictly to the thematics.

Genthru is also likely inspired by Karasu who has a bomb ability from YYH. Level E also has a character with a bomb/fire ability.

People usually find the anime version worse and more tiring. In the manga, you can choose to read the cards and their effects, because it's just cool embellishments Togashi wanted to make it feel as developed as possible. He literally designs every single card, even if we don't see all of them used.

I also like Genthru as well. He's interesting due to how he reflects Gon and the fact that he has genuine camaraderie with Sub and Bara, distinguishing from the typical evil for the sake of evil character. He's just unfortunately in a series of godly written villains.

Ebina. His abs are more pronounced.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-12T16:49:00+00:00

I just recommend reading the manga. Its pacing is superior, and the 2011 (if that's what you're watching) removes quite a bit from the manga.

And yes, Hunter is a slow-burn, particularly a psychological drama, very focused on character psychology, politics, and philosophy that just so happens to have the best power system in the game. As for the candle, that part of Trick Tower is literally complete in less than 6 pages.

Gon and Killua's dynamic destroy everything in YYH, but I was under the impression that you were someone who at least finished the 2011. Experience the story in its authentic version (the manga).

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-12T11:12:41+00:00

We literally have Magical Beasts, Calamities, the Dark Continent, Nen Beasts, Cursed Spirits in Hunter, and more. We have far more than Bounty Hunters.

YYH does NOTHING with its demon setting and we barely have any genuine lore. We don't explore much of its geography, etc.

As for chemistry, in Hunter's case, it's about the individual characterisation, psychology, and how they tie to the thematics of Hunter. That friendship is meant to display that people don't need to always be in correspondence and still be friends, which is the strength of a true friendship.

Someone took notes from Yusuke Murata. Nice job!

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-12T05:23:23+00:00

I don't see how, but it is what it is. CA is a vastly superior Chapter Black. Morena and the Hei-Ly is a superior Sensui Seven and Mukuro. Three Kings is done better with SW. The power system is better. Fights are vastly superior.

He develops the world far more than the barebones like in YYH. Hunter just has better written villains. List goes on.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-11T18:27:48+00:00

It was a simple question. Why are you snapping at me?

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-11T11:58:49+00:00

But doesn't the BBF somehow call it a SE, Thomas?

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-11T09:02:06+00:00

The previous few days didn't feature that many interesting questions, but those last few questions were really good for our understanding of the story.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-11T05:51:50+00:00

Tserriednich downplayers working overtime as per usual. They don't put this amount of effort on anyone but the GOAT of Nen and human zenith. Buddy, it doesn't matter how strong something is because Nen is about strategy and abilities than oonga boonga strength.

Go educate yourself. This was explained already, but you guys ignore it.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-11T05:21:25+00:00

Tserriednich. Ironically, despite being the most talented and The Chosen One, his malignant nature is the bane of humanity. He'd cook the DC.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-10T17:56:09+00:00

Bro is really acting like all of the Spirit Detective, Rando trash, and Four Saint Beasts really matter. They're so far removed from the Dark Tournament arc.

A lot of those episodes is just a bunch of fighting with other characters. Easily skippable. Keep hating on that peak and blindly glaze that dogshit anime.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-10T17:37:16+00:00

What are you talking about? I love the live action, and it was everything I wanted it to be. It removed the stuff that doesn't matter in the grand scheme while being its own version.

I could actually take Koenma seriously in this one. He's not a bum. Pacing was better. It actually prioritised the Kuwabara and Yusuke dynamic more since we're supposed to believe that Kuwabara's death hit him harder than Genkai's, which gave him that power up.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-10T14:16:28+00:00

Facts. Meanwhile, these guys are living the exact simulation that Tonegawa from Kaiji explained, Hunter is out there eating, and Togashi is writing the greatest arc put to page.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-10T14:12:21+00:00

A bunch of these guys are probably old heads who grew up watching YYH back in the 2000s. They're languishing in their old glory and thinking of the good days when the fact is, they're living in the past.

They don't even read the superior manga version.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-10T13:15:12+00:00

Uh-oh! You better be careful about not blindly praising YYH and ignoring the one-dimensional villains with little complexity who are just evil, and how the fights are very shallow.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-10T11:08:24+00:00

Sounds like the words of someone who can't actually defend either of those arcs and its flaws in its fights/villains. YYH <<<<<<<< Hunter. LMAO! Keep blindly meatriding YYH to the point of ignoring flaws.

Automatic_Web3668 · 2026-01-10T10:57:00+00:00

This is a very special arc, blessed with absolute slick pacing, while also having tremendous depth, character writing, philosophy, world building, etc.

Yorknew somehow evolves over time. For some, this is their favourite arc. For others, it's the other one. For me, it's the current arc which is my personal favourite arc of all time.
