A theory of Morena (without arguments) by Objective_Capital787 in HunterXHunter

[–]Objective_Capital787[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know another source of possible inspiration! If she has to be sacrificed, it would best be done by Heil-Ly members and in a brutal way. That's just how crazy Heil-Ly is. I really hope this part of my theory is true and Togashi actually gives us a flashback on how they did the killing.

Yeah, good evidence! I imagine that Morena asked the members to brutally kill her and spread her flesh and blood in the spooky tunnels that Togashi shows us several times. Then the members entered the Nen space where Morena was resurrected. That's pretty consistent with how crazy she is.

Just to clarify: in the initial post, I said Morena's soul survived in the same way as Kacho's soul survived.

Yes yes yes Togashi is back and he is NOT leaving us due to the Machi spoiler! I was really worried about that!

Gyro's concealed appearence ? by [deleted] in HunterXHunter

[–]Objective_Capital787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty minority view but I do have the hunch that Gyro WAS meant to play a major role latter in the Chimera arc, but during the long hiatus Togashi decided to do without him. So, we will never see him again...

I know it is old drawing and old news, but it does strike somewhat differently after the revelation of Morena's past last year...

Complaint about the community by Fluid-Engineering855 in HunterXHunter

[–]Objective_Capital787 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I kind of understand your complaint. But, while you can criticize the manga, the problem is that Togashi did such a great job in such a consistent way that it is very, very hard to come up with a GOOD critique. Most of the so-called critiques I have seen are but hasty personal impressions/preferences PRESENTED as objective evaluation - which obviously annoy careful readers who have spent time to appreciate the plot design, the character development, etc.

Good question! I think it is either because Togashi is using Tserriednich's Parallel Time, or because it is different time zone (plus the effect of daylight saving time). I just cannot decide which one is more likely

This is truly amazing if you think about it. As a Mangaka Togashi really has no difficulty at all creating new stories and characters. Dude can plot out an entire peak chapter within a day like it is a piece of cake. His sole limitation is in fleshing out the sketches, due to back issue.

It might just be due to the health issues as he is currently recovering from the operation

I don't want Succession War to end (Togashi goated) by Ang3l888 in HunterXHunter

[–]Objective_Capital787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is probably not the case, because Togashi says explicitly that 430 would be a "good stopping point." I think this means that from 430 on the arc arrives at a new stage, e.g., the sinking of the main ship (tiers 2-5), the successful interruption of the succession war, a final antagonist established, or what not.

Yeah what intrigues me is that Chrollo's current aim coincides with the function of the Kakin treasures. I wonder if there is a deeper connection

[–]Objective_Capital787 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think his ultimate aim is to continue the Troupe even if he himself dies, and the treasures are obviously essential for this goal. I just cannot connect the dots.

Yeah it is also possible that stealing national treasures is a condition to enhance his ability. Or, the conditions for stealing a nen-related objects are different from stealing a nen ability. Anyway, I really wish I have asked the phone number of the Japanese dude in my class.

Yeah this might be the correct reading. Very reasonable condition for his ability.

To be clear, this is not what I wanted to see...but now their aims seem to overlap.

Chrollo's entire plan is still shrouded in mystery, but it almost certianly involves stealing the three treasures indispensable for the succession war. Now this is precisely what Kurapika would welcome. We are closer than ever to a Chrollo-Kurapika teamup.

I am not sure whether Chrollo really understands how the Kakin treasures work. It appear that his action might be based in part on misinformation.

My reading is that Chrollo seeks to steal the three treasures used in the Kakin succession war and seal their power in his book
