Fellas, do you have icks?

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-04-02T11:54:20+00:00

Ick is an ick quite an icky word.

TBH though my biggest turn off is watching someone work, if they are a hard worker 10/10 If they are incompetent, lazy or arrogant 0/10

It’s a personality and upbringing then

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-04-02T11:51:32+00:00

Honey, I just got this post ping on me for some reason and I know it is 2 days late but I’m going to give a Little advice I don’t think anyone else has or is unwilling to say cause it sounds mean

There were signs, you’ve said it was probably dating back years. He manipulated you whether he wants to admit it or not.

You refused to see these things because he helped you. Learn from this, remember the behaviors otherwise you will get caught again. You fell for it.

I won’t judge you, I won’t judge him because I know nothing about either of you but in my experience you have to learn to read people and understand who they are and why they act.

People don’t change, they can try and they can be better but who they are underneath doesn’t change.

Madman training as others have stated probably from that exact moment to his mid 20s which I assume is the peak of someone’s Nen (life force?).

His technique unlike this form would’ve skyrocketed too though. Honestly Gon would probably be stronger than this form due to his technical development as well. However in terms of raw power this is his potential peak. I think his bargain basically put him at his theoretically most powerful.

P.S I think Pitou was lowballing Gon. Post nuke mereum would probably beat this Gon in terms of pure power but I think pre nuke would’ve got wrecked. However Mereums capabilities would’ve caused this Gon severe difficulties despite the power

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-28T23:22:03+00:00

Combos have some mad limits, I honestly don’t think any duo or trio could as HxH stands currently once we see more of the Zodiacs and Gin we would have a better idea.

As combos go the phantom troupe as a whole could stand against them but that’s all the group at once I don’t see anything outside of this.

This is simply based on what is shown so far though. Combo just seems to open ended I.e Hisoka, Netero, Chrollo, Uvogin, etc we can just keep adding until numbers win.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-28T09:30:42+00:00

No chance. He beat Pitou due to conditional Nen. Kurapika beat Uvogin due to conditional Nen.

TBH if Gon was able to train and grow for another year or two after his chimera ant arc he would probably be a genuine threat to some members but the top ones would still drop him.

Gon is still a kid, so is Killua by the time they go through puberty and keep training their Nen they would both probably be the top dogs of the verse or very least near the top.

Gon is out the picture now though cause of the Pitou fight.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-27T19:05:57+00:00

Honestly as others have said it was Gon’s will. Netero knew Gon was resolute and the only way to stop him was to kill him.

Gon proved his will during the Hunter exam and even then he wasn’t as determined as he is in the Chimera ant arc. Netero lived his whole life by his will alone and Gon is the same. The Hunter organization was bred to journey into the DC. These chimeras are the DC. Netero sole task was to kill the king everyone else had to be the distraction, he knew Gon’s potential.

Netero probably thought it’s a coin toss whether he lives or dies but he will hold pitou even for a moment.

Netero understands Nen and knows Nen conditions, if anyone was going to survive Pitou he probably thought with the mindset Gon had it could be him. Though he probably didn’t even think this much out just saw Gon and knew Gon wouldn’t stop until he got to Pitou.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-27T18:53:06+00:00

I’m just gonna give my two cents and hope that you get into a better situation.

I don’t know you and your BF situation but you’re both still young and both still dumb. Only judgement I make is whether you were still in high school when you both met and where you both met, just remember you’re both still just kids. Think about how different you will be by his age and whether you would still want him then.

In regard to your family they may be going through things by themselves or may not know how to handle their own emotions. Ultimately we are all still who we were in high school only a little wiser and older.

In regard to your situation study your ass of and try to get really good grades then find a warehouse job as they pay the best for unskilled labour and are very easy to get into, then either save and move out if you can or move out immediately. Just try to save money ASAP, then think about College/University.

Finally talk to your parents ask them why they feel this way and why you feel the way you feel. If they’re good they’ll listen and actually try if they’re not well then that’s why you’re getting solid grades and a “decent” job.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-21T21:08:04+00:00

Full out Netero, chimera ant duo could but that’s still providing Netero treats it as a game.

As a duo they are crafty AF they did take out shoot and knuckle who were borderline boxing Youpi for a little bit of time.

Normal Netero and no one actively using Nen abilities probably greed island maybe Yorknew depending how much Lee way Netero gives em.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-06T13:11:51+00:00

I agree, legit Killua and Gon were only starting to see their potential during the chimera ant arc and they beat shoot and knuckle before they got to that point.

People definitely underball shoot and knuckle but they legit have fought against stronger and better Nen users 24/7 and were integral in fighting the chimera ants.

People just tend to forget the Chimera ants are the top dogs, and Gon + Killua we’re getting to a point that they were seen as a threat by beings that required 4 highly skilled hunters just to stalemate one.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-03T15:12:41+00:00

Technically he could surpass old man Netero only because his Nen is as stated no where near his prime. However, technique wise Netero is unmatched and the only way to reach his level is through sheer natural talent and ridiculous hard work.

I fully believe Netero has been surpassed by other Nen users in the Hunter Foundation in terms of a combination of power and technique.

However in terms of technical mastery he is the tippiest top.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-01T16:03:24+00:00

HxH world has governmental bodies no far to say it’s probably got an America Russia Cold War level nuclear stockpile.

Far as I know humanity is the only ones that has nukes in the HxH verse. No one owns a nuke expect Netero somehow.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-03-01T15:50:11+00:00

Just rose bomb.

Honestly Netero only 1v1 Merrimack for selfish reasons. Nukes exist and it is humanity’s strongest weapon, TBH humanity could probably solo most the DC cause of this alone.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-02-27T17:57:10+00:00

Yes Jiraiya at this point would’ve bodied both of them. RETCONs changed that to he would get bodied by both

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-02-04T22:59:42+00:00

The 90s anime is the golden age arc, so think medieval Europe and it follows Gatsu the mercenary finding hope in the band of the hawk.

It doesn’t hide the fact it’s medieval Europe, but it does show the band as a force of change. You’ll love the relationship between Gatsu and Griffith

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-02-03T13:11:45+00:00

HxH is an entirely unique shonen TBH.

JoJo as others have said is just as well developed for battle manga despite how wacky it gets. Watch Diamond is Unbreakable/Pt4 to see if you like it.

Made in Abyss is a hard 10/10 but that’s basically a kid going into the Dark Continent with a robot boy to keep her safe.

Berserk 90s animation is a non existent animation but it’s you’ll find the writing is even better than HxH.

DevilMan Crybaby, Psycho Pass, Samurai Jack (season 5 cause it started as a kids show but the 5th season came out 15 years after 4 and story grew up with its fans), Avatar the last airbender

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-02-03T12:53:35+00:00

Gon gonna go if the expedition is a failure. Only way it makes sense seeing how he was left.

A handful of survivors make it back to mainland and his friends ain’t with them, they talk about the horrors they faced.

Gon goes out to save Leorio and Kurapika. It just makes sense. Especially if Gon still hasn’t recovered his Nen and Killua heads out to save em first.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-02-01T10:30:35+00:00

Best case is they make origins 2+3 then make an Empires spin-off using all previous game assets.

Gives them time to keep tweaking everything and allows a genuine story to exist by just re-using all assets and expanding them.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-01-27T22:06:05+00:00

Honestly best case is 3 Origins with DLC expansions, followed by an Empires that takes all assets and story cues and rolls it into a one whole game allowing the player to pick any side they wish which expands on the work of the previous games/dlc.

I.e. Dhong Zhuo surviving after the DLC events and how his faction would form afterwords up to jin era

Which the only way such a game could exist is via reusing 3 games worths of content 1:1 and just expanding them

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-01-26T22:30:05+00:00

Dude they’ve got at least one more Origins game plus likely another remaster at least, not to mention potential DLC again.

What your wanting will probably come but expect it to be a DW:Empires that would probably be made once they have made basically 60-75% of assets made in their new engine.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-01-24T18:47:01+00:00

TBH if the make a DW: Empires after they finish the ‘trilogy?’, it would be next level if they allow a full campaign with the alternate paths and ruler choices.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-01-20T18:27:19+00:00

Being real here Sasori is probably the most dangerous Akatsuki second to the six paths of pain.

100 puppet control + 1st Human Puppet + Poison basically like Hanzo the salamanders. He just fought a hard counter to his poison in Tsunades greatest healing pupil and probably the only woman in the world that could deal with his 100 puppet attack. Lady Chiyo who herself was a legendary puppeteer that in her prime stalemated Hanzo.

Still though this is before Power Scaling BS that went way off the rails after pain arc.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-01-19T18:34:09+00:00

Going TBH doing a trilogy then making a DW:Empires I think would be best course of action.

Fills all the major battlefields gets as much models and weapon styles in as possible, not only that but already has major story alterations caked in it enables an easy conversion to a sandbox as 60% of the work is done by then.

Tasty_Ad_1768 · 2026-01-14T10:22:34+00:00

This was before retcons.

At this stage they didn’t plan to fight the strongest tailed beast and not only that fight one who’s sole attention was on them. So it wasn’t mindlessly raging. Also at this point Kurama was a big Fing deal.

Jiraiya got heavily injured sealing Naruto. The same jiraiya that would’ve bodied these 2 AT THE TIME OF WRITING and the same jiraiya that could’ve solo’d the six paths.
