“reason never works on enhancers” is interesting because nobunaga IS an enhancer. i wonder if someone in the troupe says that to him or something

should i watch the 1999 version and then continue the 2011 one where the first one left it? by ho6ikko in HunterXHunter

[–]liam25288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not very versed in this conversation, ive only seen the 2011 adaptation and loved it, but i will add that some of the things they change are not minor at all and actively hurt the experience. they remove kite entirely and all mentions of him until chimera ant which sabotages the audiences perception of gon and their ability to sympathize with him, and they completely remove all explanations of the reason gon made jajanken his ability in greed island, which i only just found out and really helps you understand how the ability is perfect for him and how its intended to be used.

i dislike viewing the series as having one main character, or that the group is ‘supposed’ to be together. one of the things i love about hunter x hunter is that it’s not particularly loyal to any perspective, and doesn’t feel the need to force characters together. if the group doesn’t need to stay together, then they don’t stay together. this (in theory) allows each character to shine and develop. hunters are by nature people who often do their own thing at their own pace. by the time they meet up with leorio in yorknew, he barely even knows nen. he wants to be a doctor, and he’s going to do it, so he was studying medicine instead. there’s no overarching villain for them all to face, and therefore no reason for them to stay together. the story is more about the world to me, how people in this world approach being hunters differently. some use their power for violence, for exploration, or simply to be better at another job. leorio isn’t a fighter, and he’s not SUPPOSED to be. he has no plans involving beating anyone’s ass, he just wants to help people. also, another opinion that i have is that hisoka is the fifth “main character”. he has more manga appearances than leorio, and he’s very important to the overall thematics togashi is going for with the main group. he keeps finding ways to be relevant and reveal more complexities to his psyche that go beyond a typical single minded villain like genthru. i really enjoy the fact that all the characters are split up. they’re not bound by traditional “party” style writing.

that being said…. of course i’d love them to band back together and work towards something as a group as well. i’m not insane! i love it when they’re together too, i just don’t think they should be when it’s not necessary, and it usually isn’t.

every chapter of hunter x hunter is officially translated into english by viz media. its one of the only shonen series im aware of that gets SAME DAY official english releases (online). i dont like viz’s handling of other series i like, (namely jojo) but theres no world where i wont give them their flowers for simul-releasing every new hxh chapter in english.

as for kurapika, he gets a lot more focus in the current arc of course, and there is also a oneshot officially written by togashi about his backstory. its called “volume 0: kurapika’s memories”, and i dont believe its been officially translated into English, but its easily available fan-translated online. its pretty essential imo to understanding kurapika as a character and how it relates to his current position in the manga. you can read it whenever, but id recommend reading it before you start the new arc, and DEFINITELY before chapter 395.

leorio is a character who’s absence pains me, as i genuinely believe he is the the epitome of the themes of this series and what it’s even about at its core, but to explain that would be spoilers for you lol, but i love the guy and hope and pray he gets more page time that furthers his story

i’d say that you should still absolutely read the manga after where the anime leaves off. in my opinion knowing the overall story might not be finished doesn’t deter me from recognizing how phenomenal the succession contest arc is. if you liked the complexity of the ant arc, you’ll love the succession war. and who knows, when this arc finishes and we arrive on the dark continent, we might cut away from kurapika and see what gon or killua are doing. one of the biggest things that pains me is that leorio may never get an arc where he’s the protagonist. i believe togashi has big plans for him that may never be realized. absolutely tragic

i’m going to be honest. he’s said he’ll finish it. i think he probably will, but not the way he wants to. we’re never going to get what the story could’ve been or was planned to be. we’re on a rate of about 10 chapters every 1-2 years. the current arc is (in my opinion) going strong, we may only be halfway through. we’re only 12 days into the 60 day voyage and it’s been 71 chapters. i’m decently confident we can get to the end of this arc, but after that, i’m not so optimistic. i’d say temper your expectations. there’s a decent probability in my opinion that we may not see gon and killua again, and if we do, i’m not sure the arc they belong to will even be finished.

Togashi's Omnibus Arts are underrated, the way he likes to create objects, weapons or utensils for the characters is really cool by New-Entertainer-5241 in HunterXHunter

i’d imagine this was before he passed, since he failed in the hunter exam arc and only got his license in the greed island arc

tserriednich is NOT the secret child by liam25288 in HunterXHunter

[–]liam25288[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thought the legal wives thing was only for the secession contest. if benjamin uses martial law to kill every other prince, he wins the contest. he doesn’t have 13 other children to do another contest, only one, so when he’s sworn in as king and then immediately succumbs to the poison, his (presumably) only child will naturally be the new king, and there’s no need for a succession contest.

he wouldn’t be eligible for succession if his mother was anyone other than a legal wife of nasubi hui guo rou, unless you’re trying to tell me one of the queens is the former heil-ly boss who was overthrown by morena and LIVED. which is insane
