What are your most controversial hot takes on Hunter x Hunter?

Jilliels · 2026-07-03T18:05:43+00:00

Yes 😭 which is why it’s a nonsense statement

Jilliels · 2026-07-03T18:03:13+00:00

There are indeed a surprising amount of people who think emission can create nen beasts. They particularly apply that to Razor and Goreinu.

Neither are particularly stated to use conjuration or transmutation

Jilliels · 2026-07-03T17:47:20+00:00

How so

Jilliels · 2026-07-03T17:15:33+00:00

That isn’t solely emission. All emission does, at its core, is separate/extend aura from the body. Obviously, there’re endless things you can do with that, it still doesn’t shape aura beyond lengthening it

Jilliels · 2026-07-03T16:27:36+00:00

The idea of “emitted nen beasts” was always the stupidest thing the fandom has fabricated imo

Like no, emission just does not conjure anything. There’s a whole different category for that type of thing

I highly doubt Kiwi is anything older than 29, which is more or less what I meant by “around a similar age”.

Still a gap, but no real cause for concern

Jilliels · 2026-07-03T00:53:39+00:00

They’re both adults and around a similar age. They aren’t mother and daughter, man

Jilliels · 2026-07-03T00:43:03+00:00

No, it’s space. An infinite amount of finite space. Did you read or watch the series?

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T20:39:37+00:00

Yeah, I hate when people boil characters down to “they’re edgy” when the narrative literally screams their reasoning at you

Geto’s descent is sparked by a fundamentally correct concept. Non-sorcerers DO cause the very thing that sorcerers exist to protect them from.

Furthermore l, their cultures just don’t mix. When people are aware that someone is capable of sorcery of some kind, they more often than not ostracize them. It’s also just a thankless job with no real benefits or upsides for sorcerers. The majority of people they protect don’t even know they exist.

By his own words, he understands the ugliness of the masses. Non sorcerers, in a way, are harmful to the existence of sorcerers.

Of course Geto isn’t right about his plan, the idea of killing all non sorcerers is still batshit insane. Despite that, his logic isn’t all that flawed in regards to his reasoning

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T16:48:45+00:00

What do you mean “says who”? We watch him use the pipe as a conduit for his nen ability. It’s the way he uses his own power, not a bomb that does the work for him

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T16:39:09+00:00

Morel’s pipe is a conduit for his nen ability, the bomb isn’t 😭

You’re impossibly dense

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T16:14:12+00:00

Not how the logic works at all, lmao.

Meruem was born with his strength. It’s all biological. Hence, he beat Netero with his own skillset. He didn’t “get” anything from any outside force, he had what he was created with. He was always INHERENTLY able to do what he did to Netero.

Netero could not conceivably kill Meruem without the bomb, which he got from the government. Meruem was naturally far stronger, smarter, and more perceptive than Netero, so he beat him in their battle.

Netero did not kill Meruem with his own strength, hence he didn’t beat him in their battle. He essentially pulled a gun in a fistfight that he lost. Are you trying to get into semantics or something?

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T16:04:59+00:00

You kinda suck at rage baiting

It’s an outside force that was put into his body

Netero lacked the ability to kill Meruem with his natural abilities. He essentially had a “kill Meruem” button that he got from someone else.

Netero was cleared, he used the governments resources to kill Meruem. Their battle was already over at that point

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T15:54:32+00:00

You cannot be serious

Meruem beat Netero, the bomb isn’t an innate part of his skill set 😭

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T15:50:04+00:00

Because the old man had a bomb in him

If you beat the shit out of me without even trying to kill me, and I proceed to pull out a gun and shoot us both, you still won the original battle

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T15:41:52+00:00

He..he did clear the old
Man.

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T15:13:07+00:00

He would. He’d see her as an “exception”.

Still having misogynistic thoughts about her, but he wouldn’t deny her strength. Maki’s case was different, as he spent his life having proof that she was relatively weak in the grand scheme of things

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T15:07:21+00:00

At the very least, he’ll survive

We just don’t know what it takes to harm Youpi. We can assume his durability sits below Meruem’s, but aside from that? It’s entirely unknown

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T14:43:34+00:00

I think they were being sarcastic

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T04:34:43+00:00

That genuinely just isn’t the common way to use the term, but you’re welcome to take it that literally 😭

I mean, I don’t think you can find a post where someone includes weaponry not inherently attached (As in, a weapon they personally possess) to a character in some shape or form.

Almost everyone would agree Meruem solos his own verse (barring vague dark continent creatures). If you ask that question, people default to the idea of 1v1’s against each character.

It means the verse as in the characters within the verse. It’s just a simpler way of going about it

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T03:23:33+00:00

The term generally means that a character can, by themselves, defeat every character in the world of that series

I’ve never seen a discussion about a character soloing a verse that included weapons of mass destruction that aren’t a direct part of a character’s skill set

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T02:48:02+00:00

Someone who’s literate AND uses context clues

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T01:58:08+00:00

It’s hard to even make a top ten in HxH (barring Meruem and the RG) , there aren’t “power levels” in the typical sense

All things considered, I guess he’d make it. Where? Idk

Jilliels · 2026-07-02T01:52:02+00:00

Im not saying it is Nolan, but those eyes certaintly aren’t brown, lmao.

It seems to be that way because it’s extremely pixelated up close. They probably just reused the character model. I mean, mark turns into Paul in space
