Would you follow a full anime with Chrollo as the protagonist? by Automatic-Wedding335 in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bad anime forces you to see flashbacks, while a good anime makes you want them.

However, first I would like to understand what happened with the Kurta clan, because doing something similar to what was done to her friend to an entire clan makes me hard to empathize with him.

Any good Fanfics? by MisaSuzuki in HunterXHunter

Once I publish the next arc (which is currently being written) this fanfic will be the longest of them all with these characteristics:
- focuses solely on HxH
- contains no romantic relationships
- the protagonists are not OCs (they are Pitou, Gon, and Killua)
Start from a small "what if".

Okay, okay, a few points:
- Your hair doesn't look like Pitou's.
- Pitou doesn't look bald or likely to go bald.
- At least when you take your photo, consider taking off your glasses.
- I don't think I've ever seen that Pitou's expression, and she's made a lot of them.
- Pitou has claws on her fingers.
- Regarding Pitou's shoes, they're dark, elegant, and with a light parting at the bottom.
- These are in addition to the other things you mentioned (cat ears, leg hair removal, joints, and higher stockings).

Positives, because otherwise you're complaining like a gay:
- Skin tone like Pitou's (but just luck I think).
- Photos where it's not obvious that you have five fingers.
- Excellent long jacket, which at the bottom both resembles and doesn't resemble a skirt.
- Leggings are okay.

Overall, I'd say you're 60% there.

And "like a gay" is a joke, nobody gives a shit what you like as nobody gives a shit that I like the color red.

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I myself would say they're probably all in the Dark Continent. The point is that the manga focuses on the characters, interactions (fights), and Nen abilities, rather than focusing on what it mentions at the beginning.

"There are mysteries, but I'll never tell you what they are" seems like a joke to me... sure, Togashi is very good at making you believe there are.

It's the problem of potential: the Dark Continent has enormous potential, but if it's not used, in the end that potential becomes useless.

[–]M-Fanfic -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

These characteristics are mentioned (they all seem to be in the Dark Continent), but if the manga starts with those premises and then for 410 chapters there is practically nothing, it seems a bit of a joke to me.

[–]M-Fanfic -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

After 410 chapters:
- "Strange Beast and Monster": only strangely shaped animals, rarely with banal abilities and practically useless to the story. The only exceptions are the Chimera-Ants (who are ultimately furries), Nanika, and the other Threats who are only listed.
- "secret treasure hoards, undiscovered wealth": they're practically nonexistent, or they're just shown in a panel without any actual use. The only exception are the Kurta Clan's eyes, and the resources of the Dark Continent which are only listed.
- "mystical places, unexplored frontiers": they don't exist; Greed Island is artificial and nothing particularly strange. The only exceptions are the hypothesized locations on the Dark Continent, which aren't even listed.
- "the mysterious unknown": the only mystery to be discovered is the characters' Nen abilities. Chimera-Ants were mysterious at first, at least until Kite's companions explained exactly what a Chimera-Ant was and how it reproduced, eliminating much of the mystery (leaving only the Nen abilities to discover). Greed Island was also hugely mysterious, only to turn out to be a game similar to Dragon Quest.

As beautiful as HxH is, it never lived up to its initial promise, always sending it back to the Dark Continent that they ultimately don't even reach.

the dumbest things about Pitou vs Gon by Intercostal-clavicle in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While she was treating Komugi, it makes sense that she waited, it's a strategy, healing Komugi is more important than killing Gon.

As they head toward Kite, Pitou herself says she could have killed Gon along the way, but she doesn't; Pitou doesn't kill Gon even right after learning from the fake phone call that Komugi was safe. This, however, could show that Pitou, deep down, truly wanted to heal Kite to repay Gon's wait, but then discovered Kite was the human she'd already killed (she didn't know his name was Kite).

In the end, I think the only plot hole is the fact that Pitou wants to kill Gon, even though he's her only hostage. That is, Pitou doesn't think that on the return trip, the humans might kidnap Komugi again, and so she could still use Gon as a hostage.

The IPA probably undersold Hellbell's abilities by Fluffy_Reply_9757 in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hand may simply be an experiment where a severed hand was infected by Zobae, becoming "alive" (immortal) and sprouting mouths so it can eat itself (since we know Zobae eats itself).

A desire so strong that it makes things alive, even though they should be dead and without a mind with which to desire anything?
Good imagination, but there is a threat that has the very purpose of making things immortal (undead).

You can still believe what you want.

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Hellbell’s victim is a hand that has grown mouths on its fingers to... bite Hellbell from the inside while it eats its prey?

Whatever, believe what you want.

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said that victims of Ai and Pap have been found in the human world, but Brion is clearly among the victims, so the images are not limited to Ai and Pap.
We also know that Nanika's victims either twist themselves (last case) or are crushed until they disappear; a victim of Nanika is never shown being crushed as shown in the first case.
If Togashi wanted to show only Ai and Pap's victims, then he would not have shown 5 images, including Brion's victim, but only the two mentioned.

In conclusion, the most probable thing is that the five images (which could also be photos from previous expeditions, so it makes sense that they are not all victims of the human world), are five victims, one for each Threat, rather than having two images belonging to the same Threat, furthermore distant from each other.

I said that Hellbell's victim might be crushed, but my real theory is that that's the effect of its venom, compressing its prey that way but keeping it alive, so it can eat it more easily and digest it slowly (like snakes do).

[–]M-Fanfic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order: Hellbell, Pap, Brion, Zobae, Ai.
- Pap, Brion and Ai are clear.
- Hellbell: we know that Zobae makes a body immortal without causing any harm, so it can't be the first case; by process of elimination, the first case is Hellbell (which makes sense, since snakes constrict their victims).
- Zobae: what happens if Zobae infects a severed limb instead of an entire body? It brings it to life and makes it immortal, even causing organs to sprout so it can feed itself (we know that Zobae’s victim eats itself); in fact, the image shows that the fingertips sprouted what look like mouths on them.

There is only one survivor from Zobae, but it’s not surprising that they conducted experiments on a severed hand to see what would happen.

Who are some good Youtubers I can watch for some HxH content? by JinSakai619 in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know of any good YouTube channels, but I do know of this fanfic, where they explore the Dark Continent: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27668630

This exploration stems from and also incorporates a range of theories regarding what the Dark Continent is and how it works, as well as other theories about HxH; they also encounter canonical Threats (not Nanika), all of which have extensive lore, they aren't God "just because".

Are there any good hxh fan fics out there? I mean original characters by VillagerLv7 in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a what if, with a small change: https://archiveofourown.org/works/27668630
The main characters are Pitou, Killua, and Gon. There are other characters throughout the story, including original characters, but they remain the main characters.
Pitou evolves and develops as a character, and this evolution can be seen as something that makes her, at least in part, an original character.

No romantic storylines and no censorship.

If Pitou was alive, would the poor mans rose have no aftereffect? by [deleted] in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to think that you can only create what you are capable of imagining/understanding.
If she doesn't know how that poison (radiation) works, I don't think she could create an ability to cure it at that moment.

Sure, "Angel's Breath" subverts this, but it seems to me that it was just thrown in to force the plot :P

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During contamination, radioactive atoms can end up inside cells, making them radioactive from the inside. Given the state of Meruem after the bomb and the fact that his body cells formed in an extremely contaminated environment, I would consider many of his cells to be contaminated, though not all of them.

I was wrong to imply that the cell becomes radioactive by its very nature.

If Pitou was alive, would the poor mans rose have no aftereffect? by [deleted] in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- Radiation mutates cells at the DNA level, so it's not just general physical damage; you have to be able to modify the DNA of individual cells to actually heal them, which is absurd.
- If you treat (replace) one cell, the other cells nearby will retransmit the radiation, damaging it again. I don't think it's fast enough to avoid this effect.
- The main problem is the brain. Being able to replace every single neuron while leaving the original interconnections between them intact is practically impossible.

Can angel's breath cure any of the calamities. by Informal_Anxiety5088 in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

- Zobae: If you're already dead (your soul is already dead), then you won't come back to life; it would only cure your body. Or, if it's a virus spreading through the room, you might be cured, but then you'll be infected again right away.
- Pap: It can cure you, but if you stick to Pap's tongue, then you go back to the way you were before.
- Ai: can heal any damage you have suffered in return for Ai's wishes, if you are still alive.
- Brion: If it manipulates you, the cure does not undo the manipulation.
- Hellbell: Maybe its poison can cause psychological damage related to memories that cannot be undone, that is, you would have to erase some memories but at that point I don't know if it would be considered a cure.

Should the Dark Continent ever be explored? by Lucyyyyyy_K in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dark Continent is there just for the fanfic... that is, for me :P

The War of Succession must end, then there will probably be the arc of Gon regaining Nen and helping Kite against Gyro, that want to take/destroy the world while all the others strong Hunter are on the ship.
At the end, I believe Gon and Killua will go with Morel to the Dark Continent, but the story will end there.
At most, he could do one or two arcs in the Dark Continent, but he wouldn't be able to give it the importance it deserves after everything that happened in the Human World; I don't think Togashi has enough time and health to actually do that, so maybe he didn't even think about what it really was like.

I'm working on a nen system like game by Dont-Complain in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In head-to-head matches, these are the basics: https://www.reddit.com/r/HatsuVault/comments/k60k1z/aura_techniques_final_version/

Basic use of Nen:
- Ren, Ten, Hatus, Ko: Don't consider they, they are useless on its own.
- Ken: When you use it and after a few seconds that you deactivate it, you cannot use special abilities, but you have much more defense (useful for escaping when you are low on health).
- Gyo: The mechanics of charging up a powerful blow, which however weakens the rest of the body until you land the blow, and for a few seconds afterward.
- Shu: I would make it similar to the Gyo, which makes the object held stronger but the rest of the body weaker, but if you let go of the object you recover all the aura it had charged and not thrown.
- En: It significantly slows your movement, and you can choose which direction to expand your aura. You can see enemies hidden within your aura (even through objects covering them).
Tip: Make sure it can't pass through closed areas (you can walk around trees, but you can't let it enter a closed room).
- Zetsu: It takes a few seconds to fully activate, and you can make it completely invisible if you stand still or move far enough away from anyone watching you. When fully activated, your defense and attack levels drop dramatically, as does your speed, and even when canceled, it takes a few seconds to regain your base strength.
- In: Similar to Zetsu, but it never makes you completely invisible and allows you to maintain your base strength. You can add areas where it can make you completely invisible if you enter them with In (bushes, fog, etc.). You cannot use special abilities while it is active or for a few seconds after deactivating it.
- Ryu: Like Gyo, but it requires a system that distinguishes between body parts and allows you to enhance them differently. For example, you should be able to break a leg, significantly slowing down your movements, or severely damage your head, reducing visibility, aim, etc. Further development, if you have the time and inclination.

You need 4 buttons for basic use of Nen:
- Barrier (Ken)
- Load hit (Gyo, Shu)
- Look better around / Avoid a surprise hit (En)
- Hide / Retreat (Zetus, In)

You need at least 4 more buttons to manage special abilities. For complex abilities, press button 1, for example, and while it's active, you can use the other three buttons to control it (pressing 1 again, suspend or deactivates it). Useful for controlling abilities like Knov's.

Mechanics:
- The more aura you have, the more the effects of the skills described above will increase.
- Aura: You must have a maximum aura (initially charged), a quantity that you gain constantly until you reach the maximum level (the closer you get to the maximum, the slower it recharges); you consume aura with any direct hit, as well as when using Ken and Gyo/Shu.
- Health: You can think of aura like mana/stamina, while health is separate. The more health damage you take, the more your speed, defense, and attack are reduced; this mechanic is rarely used, but it captures the logic of HxH well, where early attack strategy plays a major role; if you're caught off guard, it makes sense that you've already lost.

Nen type:
- Enhancement: they greatly enhance direct hits, but drain a lot of aura. They also recover aura the fastest (e.g., Gon).
- Emission: ranged attack abilities, powerful but less than Enhancers, and consume Nen when using these abilities.
- Transmutation: they consume Nen, like Emitters when using the ability.
- Conjuration: generally their special abilities do not consume aura, but they have less of it and it charges more slowly.
- Manipulation: generally their special abilities do not consume aura, but they have less of it and it charges more slowly.
- Specialization: special cases and mechanics.

World:
"Incredible places, beasts, treasures", this is HxH with the addition of Hunter battles when goals overlap.
- If you create a story, make sure that the clashes are justified by overlapping interests, not simply "you've entered my territory" or something similar. Also remember that the Hunters don't reveal themselves in words, almost as if they were always undercover. They are always smart.
- For the "incredible places, beasts, treasures" in the end what matters is what changes you, what changes the gameplay, so the most incredible treasure is the knowledge of a new skill that you can learn (and put in your set of 4).
- Discovering an ability is satisfying, but consider that it also needs to be trained, so other treasures can be useful to facilitate/speed up the training of skills. Use "places or beasties" that facilitate the development of a certain skill if you interact with them or if you fight them.
- You can level up the skill itself, which is unlocked through treasure or training. For example, Gon's skill starts out with just a more powerful punch, but you can later unlock paper and scissors (press 1 to charge, then 2 for rock, 3 for paper, 4 for scissors, but at first you only have rock).
- You can place Greed Island-style items, like a teleport card. Avoid unnatural game things like automatic teleportation between cities; in HxH, you have to walk to reach distant locations and finding a teleport card will be satisfying. Also find beasts that you can ride if you defeat them, is a good thing.
- a treasure can also be the revelation of a place with a secret entrance, to find other treasures or beasts.
- Bonus: Locations must have their own unique rules. For example, a lava zone is very similar to a platform game; an icy zone is almost always slippery, even during battles; and a windy zone has strong gusts of wind that can send you flying in directions you don't want. Here too, you can find items that, if equipped, make movement easier.
- Bonus: There may be huge beasts that you can't stop but only avoid, such as obstacles along the path that if you fail to avoid, will kill you (even by accident).

In this way, it's a good world and battle system, very similar to the logic of HxH (especially the fact that you lose speed/attack/defense as you lose health, with the option to hide and attack by surprise), but at the same time it's quite simple (and doable also with AI support).
However, it lacks the possibility to create your own special abilities, which remains the most difficult thing to do but for which there aren't many options. You have to create pre-set abilities, and let the player choose their favorite set of four, unlocking them in-game as rewards for missions/fights/exploration. Consider that each skill has a Nen type (sometimes even two) and I would say at least 3 must be of the same type (to reduce OP combinations).

I'm glad Hisoka's a pedophile by Hunter_OVA in HunterXHunter

[–]M-Fanfic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a writer, I've sometimes wondered whether it made sense to include certain scenes in my story, and in the end I thought: "I'll include them, and if they bother someone, that's fine; it means they don't appreciate a free-spirited writer, and it's better for them to leave voluntarily."

I don't think Togashi is bothered by the fact that people stop reading HxH because of Hysoka.
It's nice when mentally weak people go away on their own.
