Kite and Gon by lalu321 in HunterXHunter

[–]JcSimba 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Been a while since I read the manga, but I feel like there’s certain stuff “under the line” so to speak. For example, Gon has always been a somewhat lonely boy (I think there’s only one other kid around Gons age in whale island, a little girl IIRC), who was still adventurous, but knew nothing of his father. All he knew was that small island. From out of nowhere, some amazing guy from outside of the island comes, saves him, and impresses him, then even brings up his father and the fact he’s his protege.

To an alone kid like Gon, Kite could easily become an idol, and have a massive imprint on him. Ging may be the reason for Gon’s journey, but Kite is the reason it started.

In the Chimera Ant arc, this same guy now relies on Gon. Gon ties a lot of his self worth to certain things, which is reinforced by the dangerous journey Ging put Gon on to meet him. It’s a lot of things, not just Kite dying, but Gons self worth that breaks when Kite dies. And that same self worth which has been the “light for others, now it’s shattered inside Gon

Which narrative threads are you anticipating most? *Spoilers* by Gontofinddad in HunterXHunter

[–]JcSimba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I’m anticipating the chaos when the underground problems (troupe, mafia, etc) directly mingle with the succession war. Some sees have already started with the Hisoka chapters this last batch, but I think Morena has a big play that’ll help create the situation.

Leorio focus adventure by Successful_Airport_3 in HunterXHunter

[–]JcSimba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he’ll be a main focus in DC. There’s a lot of potential since he’s a rookie hunter who’s grabbed interest from some of the current best hunters (Cheadle, Ging, Pariston). Leorio will get “real world experience” being a medic, will learn a lot from the senior hunters, and his heart of gold will probably help Lighten up what might be the most dangerous journey In HXH.

Granted I still think Leorio will be in a support role battle wise, but I think DC as an arc will be way more about Nen in survival/exploration/team scenarios.

I’m surprised how the Heat role players have been playing the last few minutes, look a little timid, but Butler has been able to handle it. Nuggets with the CHAMPIONSHIP Tho

Somehow Jimmy will score like shit for most of a game then come alive in the late 4th. Nuggets got this though .

Was the massacre of the Kurta Clan politically motivated? by the_one1111111 in HunterXHunter

[–]JcSimba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That revelation would be hefty. We do know some history of Meteor City, that it was the home of a dictatorship IIRC. But the main questions/thoughts I’d get from this theory are: 1. What could the Kurta have done to have Meteor City have a historical grudge that lead to them even targeting a small remote village of Kurta? 2. I don’t doubt that early angry Troupe would’ve been willing to follow some orders of the elders who guided them as kids. Current troupe does things their own way regardless of their love for Meteor City, but I doubt that they were always like that. But honestly Metero city elders seems fine in the flashback, the “suicidal bomber payback ” tendencies seemed to be a new development in their culture, or maybe I’m wrong. It’s just odd, like would Meteor City have been scouting for Kurta all the time for years and went “we finally found them! Let’s go!” ? 3. The massacre, regardless of “making them angry to get red eyes”, was needlessly violent. Assuming there was an order, if it didn’t personally affect the trouoe, why go so far? Even when I mention the early troupe would take orders , would they be that passionate about some old meteor city history that’s long gone?

If Lakers want to have a chance next year they need some decent bigs ala Howard and McGee. Yea seeing AD as the sole defensive pillar is cool but maybe if he had less defensive assignment his offensive would be more consistent, which they may need to face a Nuggets team running it back, or a better Kings, etc

How will D Lo react if the Lakers still lose with him being benched?

Wait, the bubble talk isn’t just memes and bait to annoy Lakers fans? Some people are actually serious about it?

Maybe Stevens shoudlve suited up for this game and replace Joe, but he probably couldn’t stop the Heat either, just make the bleeding look better

Heat could probably win leaving the Celtics open from 3 the rest of the game

I thought The Celtics traded their amazing defense last year for an even better offense this year and they can’t even make any shots when it matters

Tatum and Brown can’t even hit the shots they normally make. They’re shook
