I literally just finished the entire thing. Also why did the final battle of the Chimera Ant saga suddenly turn to constant narration and take like 20 episode for one hour of time to pass? Best arc my ass, it was slow as molasses.

>>144404618
not that anon but chimera ant pacing was slow as fuck
like 70 episodes with like 2 events

>>144404618
Going from one generic style to another is still generic. I just heard over and over people gushing over this show and how it was so much better than other shonen shows when it's the exact same bullshit.

I was actually having fun during the first arc until it revealed the whole "lol there's actually this superpower thing called Nen that everyone has and that clown guy actually has a power level of 6000000 XDDDD". Can't we have a nice adventure show without getting into power level bullshit and uncontrolled power creep? That would be nice

whatever those hints supposedly were, they were just done so you could go "wooow, it was hinted at after all!" in retrospect. nobody sane would ever expect something like nen without knowing about it beforehand.

this is why foreshadowing is cancer. it's done deliberately so that no one can get a twist before it actually happens, and once it actually happens, kneejerkers can wack off to the 'foreshadowing'.

I don't see how Hisoka being able to kill someone with playing cards is evidence that Nen was foreshadowed. You could apply the same logic to Gon or Killua, who regularly commit superhuman feats far before Nen is introduced. Togashi isn't some godlike writer and not everything is foreshadowing.

>>144405514
The entire point of this page was to convey Welfin's mental breakdown and the thought process that lead him to saying "Komugi"

What I hate more than anything isn't the boring tropes. It isn't the overly-expositional narration. It isn't even the art scribblish art. What I hate more than anything is the Goddamn boring story where every setup to every arc is graced with a terrible anticlimax before moving on.

Every single arc has arguably good buildup to the finale, but there's never any damn payoff. It's like Togashi gets bored with his own settings and rushes the end so he can start a new one. It's pathetic.

>>144405989
Not to justify it or anything, but Togashi has been doing that for decades.

>>144405786
No shit. That doesn't make any less garbage. In fact, lazily scribbling in exactly what a character is thinking over multiple paragraphs blotting out any illustration is the worst possible way to convey this point.

HxH makes Dexter look like The Wire.

>>144407986
Not him, but every time a new arc starts Gon and Killua have to power up in some way in order to compete. This is explicitly shown when Killua goes back the hunter exam after training in Greed Island; he's not even in the same ballpark as he was the year before. That's bog standard power-level story progression. I would agree with you that HxH has all those other qualities and that they make it worth reading, but the fact is power levels are clearly a major factor in the story.

>>144408296

Confirmed for meme spouting retard.
Also i will never understand this meme, the narration is almost exclusively used for giving a neutral opinion like when it was saying Pitou was telling the truth and Youpi was being sincere. Scenes like the Netero and Zeno walking in on Meruem and Komugi or the Gon/Pitou confrontations are great exemples of this "show don't tell" meme you retards like to spout.

>>144408438
>but every time a new arc starts Gon and Killua have to power up in some way in order to compete
But they never manage to really compete.
They train to open the doors to the Zoldyck estate but get bitchslapped by buttlers.
They learn Nen in Heaven's Arena but Gon loses to Hisoka and they never reach the top of the arena.
They're completely outclassed by the phantom troupe.
They keep training in G.I. but they're objectively weaker than the top dogs like Razor or Genthru.
They get their ass handed by ants and have to train to be of any use, yet the top threat gets nuked, not defeated because of their training.
Training matters when there's fighting to be had. But in no way would I call it a "major factor".

>>144408609
I don't see your point. You're trying to argue against power levels, right?

>>144408683
I honestly don't see where you're coming from. Perhaps we each have a different understanding of what "power levels" are. They clearly get a lot stronger than they would have if they hadn't trained. I'm not the kind of reader that rigidly assigns their power in terms of tiers, it's really just a storytelling tool to show their progress. And when the times they ultimately lose, that has little bearing on whether or not they're stronger than they were before, it just means there are still stronger people out there. It's like saying you suck at chess because you can't beat Bobby Fischer even though you qualified for nationals and a year ago you didn't even know the rules.

>>144409118
They got stronger after learning nen, is that what qualifies as power levels to you?
I guess real life has powerlevels too because i'm sure some guy who learned karate would easily kick my ass.

>>144409118
I'm not saying they're not stronger than when they started.
Just that even if they train and get stonger it never comes down to "power level bullshit".

>>144409239
Ah, okay. I'm not trying to say it's bullshit, just that there are plenty of matchups in HxH that come down to sheer terms of power which could be interpreted as power levels.

>>144409220
>I guess real life has powerlevels too because i'm sure some guy who learned karate would easily kick my ass.
That was my understanding of power levels, yes. That in a fair fight someone can beat you simply by being stronger. Nevermind that fair fights rarely happen, the point is that being stronger is a significant advantage in these kinds of stories.

>>144409711
So let me get this straight, according to you, powerlevels are when there is someone more proficient at fighting than someone else?
What series exactly doesn't have powerlevels then? Because according to this definition any story where every character isn't exactly as strong as the other is powerlevels. Even as i said real life has powerlevels according to you.
And what's the limit on what you consider "being stronger"? Would an army being better trained and equipped than an insurgency constitute as powerlevels?

Genuinely trying to understand you here.

I have other question. I'm on episode 42. When Kurapika tells everyone she is girl? She looks like girl, speaks like girl, wears girly shoes etc.

>>144410109
I've always thought of power levels in terms of raw strength. Tactics, experience, luck, etc. are all separate factors. It's still very vague, and it doesn't help that it's namesake in Dragon Ball was also poorly defined, but I'm more interested in its narrative applications so I don't mind. People who take power levels seriously (God forbid) would probably disagree with me, though.

I can't think of any battle series that don't have power levels in some way. Growing stronger is usually the theme of these stories so that implies the presence of power levels. I would say, however, that there are plenty of series where power levels are present but don't matter that much. Jojo always immediately comes to mind for two reasons: 1) Almost every ability can be fatal if used in correctly and each ability is unique enough that they can't be beaten in the same way. 2) Power ups are relatively rare compared to other manga so the disparity in power between major characters is never insurmountably large. I remember thinking Medaka Box also did the same thing pretty well.

Do any of you people actually know how to argue your points? There are maybe two legitimate criticism points made in this thread and the rest is just drive-by shitposting that makes me question the ages of the posters in this thread. This could have been a good interesting thread if /a/ wasn't plagued by braindead memers.
Also the "Show, don't tell" complaint is quickly becoming a carelessly regurgitated idea in regards to shows that are exposition heavy. Also I don't think a majority of the watchers saying it actually know how that would play out for them, as most shows with "show, don't tell" writing usually flies over the common viewers' heads.
Yes, the CA is horribly slow, and yes, the exposition should have been trimmed down. I'm not using this as a defense for the show, but maybe it was a bit necessary, as certain key scenes benefitted from the narration while others were severely bogged down by it. Take for example the Stairs scene at the beginning of the Palace Invasion, if there was no narrator a lot of details would have been missed by viewers, like why did everyone but Gon stopped. Was the audience just suppose to figure out that the characters were dreading the possibility of Knuckle and Meleon getting killed by Dragon Dive from their bpdy language? If Togashi wanted to write in them just thinking that he could have yet he didn't, and it worked in some parts but blew the execution(mainly in the anime) in others.

>>144411483
Disregard this.

>>144411036
So is it physical strength then? Because it was shown pretty often to be a minor factor, the obvious exemple being Uvo or Chrollo completely shitting on Hisoka despite being physically much weaker. Even Meruem won against Netero because he was smart enough to notice a minuscule pattern in his attacks.

Also in JoJo there are stands that are objectively stronger than others so that would constitute to powerlevels according to your definition. Same goes for Medaka Box. And i find it strange that you compare nen users to non-nen users for HxH but don't do the same with stand users and regular people for JoJo.

But as you stated they are mostly irrelevant, and the reasons you gave for JoJo also apply to HxH. Even when they are facing stronger enemies like Genthru they win through elaborating a strategy or tricking them, and that's when they fight at all. Gon actually got weaker after the CA arc so that also goes against what you were saying.

Holy crap, Killua needle in the eye was one of the most bullshitting things in the whole series. They could have leave his problems as a psychological thing which he would have get rid off over time and actual character development, but no, magic needle on the eye. And no, Gon fucking things up and then just apologizing for the hundred time is not character development, and even if there was any kind of development it went to the shitter after Kite surprisingly survived and he got resurrected by Killua fairy godparent. The changes you are talking about are from the Election arc, not the CA arc.

Election arc?
>kill off one of the most important characters in the series, directly causing the events of the two following arcs
You mean Netero, one character that nobody ever gave a shit about and was introduced just to die and give foot the next arc? Yeah, just what i'm saying, the whole CA arc was meaningless and pointless, just a filler arc like any other in Naruto or Bleach.

If it's in the original source material (manga), and it furthers the story, it's not filler. Chimera ant arc is overly drawn out, no doubt, but it equally part of the story line as greed island, or the zoldyck mini arc.

It was psychological, the only thing the needle did was prevent him from moving past it. It still was a character development moment regardless of how you feel about the execution.

Can you paint a broader stroke with your greasy fingers you fucking autist? At this point you're not even trying to argue a point, you're trying to damage control. There was literally no other event where Gon acted the way he did in CA.

>Election arc?
It did it before that and served to introduce temp hunters and the fact there was some fuckery behind the scenes, hinting at Pariston. You probably missed that because you're an autistic speedreader though.

>You mean Netero
Yes Netero, the guy in charge of the thing that is literally the title of the series. He is one of the most important characters even if you don't care about him.

That's kind of my point, though. In order to even get to the point where they could challenge Genthru Gon and Killua had to train their asses off until they were multiple times stronger than before, yet still weaker than their enemy. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that in the universe of the story they wouldn't have stood a chance had they not trained at all. Training clearly factored into their victory, therefore strength is clearly a factor in their universe.

I binged the entire manga like a week ago. I enjoyed it. I don't think I'd ever do myself the disservice of ever watching a shounen again, though.

My only real criticism is about how harshly Gon took Kite's death. I saw that nigga on like 50 pages tops - no where near enough time to actually care for him. If it was Killua that got killed I could understand Gon's reaction and his choices, but didn't Kite just save Gon from a bear once and then had a fireside chat with him?

Also the "We're in a game lol" arc was kinda boring until the end. Pretty boring, actually.

>>144414466

Was that a thing? I'm pretty sure the only thing Gon trained in was mastering using Gyo quickly to protect himself. If you're talking about before entering Greed Island they were complete shitters who didn't even have a hatsu, getting stronger doesn't mean much.

Though now i kind of see what you mean, but i still find it pretty silly that you talk about people being better at fighting than others as "power levels", especially when nen abilities are thrown in the mix.

>>144411800
You forgot that it showed humans are evil.

>>144404300
Hxh is a deconstruction of the shonen genre.

Hunter Exam Arc: The "contest" arc, in which several characters need to compete with each other in order to win a title. This arc examines what would actually happen in a contest filled with superhumans- the normal humans die in brutal ways, the empowered individuals run rampant and murder dozens, and Gon barely survives only because the only two people that know Nen are Hisoka and Illumi, who likes Gon enough to keep him alive for Hisoka and barely processes Gon's presence for Illumi.

Phantom Troupe Arc: The "villain squad" arc, in which the heroes face off against a group of evil villains. This arc examines what would happen if you took superpowered humans and put them in the real world- the power gap between the troupe and the mafia goons is massive, and only Kurapika, who has limited his arsenal to specifically only fight the troupe can stand a chance. Even still, Kurapika can only do so little, and most of the troupe is still alive.

Chimera Ant Arc: The "enemy army" arc, in which a large enemy force accosts the heroes, with a powerful leader. This arc in particular examines the idea of having an enemy that is significantly stronger than you- from the enemy's perspective. What is it like being devastatingly stronger than everyone else? How would something that is on another level from everything process the worth of other creatures? What would something that was meteorically stronger than everything else think when it realizes that other creatures can think just like it can? What would it constitute as strength? The Chimera Ant King is a rather somber answer to all of these questions. Even more deconstructive is that the humans actually cheat to win- upon learning that he will die and realizing no one else can stop the king, Netero detonates a nuclear bomb in his chest than eventually kills the King from radiation poisoning, rather than a straight up fight.

>>144414699
The reason Gon took Kite's death so harshly is because he felt guilty for it and wanted to fix it.
Kite also saved his life like 3 times and was the one to tell him about Ging, i think anyone would feel indebted to life to someone if that happened. Even if you didn't care about him Gon did.

I understand the reason Gon felt the way he did, I dislike the way the author handled the entire situation. If I saw more of Kite as a reader I most likely wouldn't have this complaint, which is why I used Killua as an example. Very prominent character with enough screen-time to develop a connection to.

Maybe it's different for those who have instead watched the series since it's literally more time spent with the characters depending on pacing, but in my case it was only a number of pages. I seriously felt more for any of the characters taking part in the castle invasion because so much more development was given to them.

The audience doesn't really need to care about Kite, you're not actually supposed to empathize so strongly with Gon. His reaction to Kite's death is portrayed as a negative thing. The more we care about Kite, the more righteous Gon seems, and the less effective the message is.

I'd still say give it a chance as characters are enjoyable enough that them being female won't even matter. If it makes you feel better there are notable females in HxH but they don't show up till around the third arc.

There are cute girls but they're not exactly numerous or have too much panel time. Doubt it's enough to keep your interest.

HxH has them, although the first arc or two are kind of bare. >>144415064 is right, one of the most important characters of CA arc is female.

Starting at the third arc, the manga starts to get good female characters.

How? The hunter exam, Yorkshin, Greed Island, Dark Continent, everything was an important part of the series and introduced lots of important character and new mechanics to it. The whole CA arc was lengthened way too much just to become a stepping stone in the story.
>needle meme
It was an asspull however you call it and it had nothing to do with the CA arc, it was just an excuse to make Killua "break his limits" without making the story even larger that it was.
>sperging out and buzzwords
Gon has always acted on a whim just because and then apologized, "yeah Gon, you can fuck up all you want but don't do it again teehee", the only difference this time is that his plot armor didn't work and everything end up bad, and yet again, Gon acted on a whim without taking in count the consequences, just to end up in the same situation as always
"holy shit I fucked up, I should have died"
"We won, and literally nobody died except the old dude, so just don't do it again"
"Alrgiht"

Literally the only thing that interested me about this show was Kurapika's quest for revenge. He actually used his head instead of brute force and the way he analysed situations was genuinely interesting. I also liked how his powers had clear limitations and could only be used for specific purposes, whereas those dumb kids just have boring super strength/speed.

I really couldn't care less for those two dumb kids and I ended up skipping through the show in search for more Kurapika. I eventually learned that he barely ever appears after the second arc so I dropped that shit show.

>It was an asspull however you call it
Yeah, i mean it's not as if Illumi used needles to control people since his first appearance or anything.
>it had nothing to do with the CA arc
It had to do with Killua's cowardly ways and potentially leaving Gon behind to die, which he did anyway. It was relevant to his character and the events of the arc itself even if he did leave Gon to die in another way.

>Gon has always acted on a whim just because and then apologized
What, are you complaining because his character is consistent now? As i said, "fucking up" is a pretty broad fucking stroke, you're oversimplifying it most likely because of your severe attention disorder.

>>144417514

Err no. Killua has just normal super powers. He can run really really fast and punch really really hard. That's it. Perhaps he gets some other abilities later, but I didn't have the patience to wait for that. He's also just the usual "super mega prodigy" who is just amazing for the sake of being amazing, whereas Kruapika only has superpowers due to gambling everything on one specific goal. Overall, the writing of the Yorknew City arc was so much better than the garbage that came later. There was a good buildup, genuine tension and witty tactics. It made you think what the next move of the respective characters would be (i.e. other than "LET'S PUNCH REALLY HARD NOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM). The enemies were also far more threatening. I actually expected Ubogin to murder Kurapika.

What did the rest of the show consist of? Generic training arcs, an MMORPG arc that didn't even use the setting of the world in an interesting way, some overpowered bugs who got blown away by an asspull nuke and then some almighty magic kid which WOULD'VE been interesting if everybody had to obey the rules (but Killua can just bend all the rules cause he's one of the MCs).

>>144417797

They never talked about them as a way to defeat the King or whatever the Cell ripoff was called. If there was a plan involving a nuke to defeat him, I wouldn't have complained. But nope. The old fart just suddenly had a bomb up his ass and killed Cell with it.

That's akin to a seemingly unarmed person shooting the bad guy in the last second by pulling a gun out of his ass, a literal asspull.

>This is never a thing in HxH

Dude, they train so they can punch harder and then use their stronger punches to defeat stronger enemies. The amount of time this shit takes up is infuriating and this comes from somebody who normally likes mindless battle shonen. It also doesn't help that the motivation of the MC doesn't make much sense. I get that a kid wants to see his biological dad. But being this obsessed with meeting a person you've never seen before is just retarded. In fact, his shitty dad is so shitty that I as a viewer don't even care if they ever meet. In fact, I would prefer them never to meet. So why should I care about Gon or Gong or whatever the uninteresting little kid's name is? I don't. HxH main story is just horrible. It had some nice side stories but didn't do anything with them.

I can't believe how people can defend this.

Even Narutards admit that Kaguya's appearance at the end was dumb because nothing indicated that it would or could happen. Yes, Kaguya was MENTIONED before. Simply mentioning something is not foreshadowing though. The same applies here.

The point is that it's the most anticlimactic thing ever to end a supposedly epic battle by "oh did I forget to mention that I have this deus ex machina up my sleeves? You're dead now, bye!"

How about how Zeno talked about his hunger for an opponent as strong if not stonger than him for like 5 pages, or how Netero mentioned he was past his prime and also how he wanted a strong opponent?

>>144418068

And we all know that James Bond has all kinds of amazing gadgets. It would still be unsatisfying and dumb if Bond pulled out a gadget to defeat the final bad guy which wasn't introduced for that specific mission and, therefore, the viewer never knew that Bond even had the damn thing.

>>144418330
>Simply mentioning something is not foreshadowing though.
Yes it literally is you dipshit, if you say "nukes exist" and then use one a number of chapters later it is the literal definition of foreshadowing.
>deus ex machina
Classic case of the retarded TVTropes child using words he doesn't know, there was nothing preventing Togashi from writing Meruem to not be able to get through Netero's defense or Zero Hand killing him because we had no clue of where they stood on a power scale.
Also i'm pretty sure a nuclear blast doesn't consitute as anticlimatic.

>>144418330
It's a fucking cheap bomb. It's nothing special in universe, it's not a super power, it's something we all know exists. It's not a deus ex machina just because it surprised you, that's the fucking point. And while it's technically an anticlimax in terms of narrative structure, the actual scene was extremely climactic and impactful.

>>144418432

What does that have to do with the shitty way the fight ended? That's just cliché battle shonen talk.

>>144418438
How is that a good comparison at all? They mentioned nukes specifically, not something broad like gadgets. You are fucking stupid anon.

>>144404300
I feel the same way about Fairy Tail.

>>144418451
>Yes it literally is you dipshit, if you say "nukes exist" and then use one a number of chapters later it is the literal definition of foreshadowing.

No. Foreshadowing = indicating that something will happen. Mentioning that frogs exist isn't foreshadowing that the bad guy will step on a frog, slip and break his neck in the final battle.

>>144417710
>Exam
Introduction of the world and setting and everything?
>Yorkshin
Expansion of said world and the characters in it?
>Greed Island
You got that right, it was the next step into Gon and Killua training, Wing just taught them the basics, it still was part of the main story though.
>Chimera ant
"So let's throw this bunch of irrelevant characters into the story and make them fight because, oh yeah, Gon got involved somehow in the mess"
Again, it was just a loooong waste of time just to introduce the whole Dark Continent part, which I hope get to see in this lifetime.

>>144418468
>the actual scene was extremely climactic and impactful.

For HxH fanboys, perhaps. All it did for me was make me raise my eyebrow and say "seriously?" out loud.

>>144418564
>comparing nukes to frogs
Did you type this with a straight face?
Also no, there are more ways to foreshadow something than straight up announce it. Also i'm pretty sure that would fall under exposition and not foreshadowing.

>>144418617
Likely because you're a retard who didn't get the message

>>144418617
Same here. I recommend One Piece because it's elric.

>>144418609
You could say the same fucking thing about the exam or Yorkshin you dumbass, they both had irrelevant characters that fought because. At least the CA arc changed the dynamics between the MCs and introduced characters to be relevant later on. Just like you could use the same "expansion of said world and the characters in it" shit for CA.
You are biased and fucking stupid.

>>144418213
Gon is a fucking retard, you really didn't got that form every single moment in this series? Just pretend Killua is the MC and Gon is his wacky sidekick, it enriches your HxH experience.

>>144418631
>there are more ways to foreshadow something than straight up announce it.

Indeed there are. Subtle hints for instance. Simply saying "oh by the way XYZ exists", however, is not a hint that something specific will happen involving XYZ.

You also need to learn what a comparison is. A comparison would be "frogs are similar to nuke". Me using an example of a random thing to explain foreshadowing to you is not a comparison to anything. It's a simple example, honey.

>>144404300
I got tricked into watching it too.

Some may think I'm trolling but it is literally Naruto tier anime. In fact Naruto may be better since the Chakra system is better explained and the fights are much better in Naruto

Never watched or read it but it appears to be some kind of pedophile pandering.

You are biased and fucking stupid.

Naruto is definitely better. Hell, even Sakura is a better developed character than Gon.

>>144418749
>Subtle hints for instance
Like Netero saying the CA ordeal wouldn't end without a sacrifice? Or mentioning that he and Meruem would be fighting in a nuclear weapons testing ground?

It is not only foreshadowed but foreshadowed extensively. Don't blame the series for your own incompetency

>>144418749
How about the fact that Netero said the area they were in is used to test WMDs? Or the fact Knov said they wouldn't be able to save Meruem? Or maybe all the heart imagery around Netero?
And yes, you literally compared tripping on a frog to getting nuked by someone prepared. Look up the definition of "comparison". If you want to argue semantics make sure you're not a complete retard.

>>144418840
That's the thing. At least Naruto has girls.

I LITREALLY did? Ok then quote me saying that there are similarities between tripping on a frog and getting nuked.

All I remember doing was using an example to illustrate my point. When people are talking about the ship of Theseus to illustrate the problem of identity, are they comparing ships to human beings? Is that what you're thinking, my intellectually degenerate friend?

If you are this stupid i genuinely think you may have some sort of brain problems. If you are just shitposting then what's the point of pretending you are retarded just so that someone on the internet can say you're stupid?

>>144415716
Hello, hardcore shippingtrash anon over here.
HxH has one of the most beautiful romance stories I have ever seen (yes, even comparing it with CCS) and I bawled my eyes out every time I read or rewatched it. The character development of the series is enough to satisfy any romance cravings due to its emotional points in the plot and its exploration of interpersonal relationships. There are also PLENTY of females who are unique and incredibly well written. Even sjw tumblrinas agree that HxH does an incredible job showcasing realistic females without any cliche bullshit. Trust me, it will definitely satisfy.

>>144419207
Oh I thought we were having a genuine conversation. Ok then let's have fun using disingenius quote mines instead.

You literally said that you are a retarded child:

>I (...) am (...) a (...) reatarded (...) child

See?

>>144419177
A metaphor is fundamentally a comparison.
Talking of comparisons, comparing your retarded shitposting to the ship of Theseus shows how much of a delusional fucktard you are.

>>144418840
Friendly reminder that Naruto was BASED OFF hunter x hunter. Kishimoto is a big Togashi fan

>>144419216
When was it stated that there are people running around with nukes up their asses or that this was even a viable means to defeat the super mega ants?

In fact, why were they so afraid of these ants in the first place? A bomb which was said to be relatively weak and cheap completely destroys them. Defeating them should've been a cakewalk. Were they all just too greedy to afford good bombs and that's why they bothered sacrifcing all those Nen users who are absolutely worthless compared to the technology that is available in that world? Just use some long distance rockets. Nah, even that's too much effort. They die due to radiation. So just send in some exterminators with radiation suits.

>>144419011
Man, you mistake one word and everyone meme on you. Also the whole point of the series is the main cast training, getting faster and stronger and boosting your aura.

>>144419440

Which metaphor? Saying that somebody steps on a frog is not a metaphor, you troglodyte.

>>144419571
I was talking about the ship of Theseus. Nice reading comprehension, and also you just admitted it had nothing to do with your argument.

Again, i already explained to you that you didn't need to explicitely say something to foreshadow it. You even admitted subtle hints was the definition, so at this point i am convinced are you are either actually retarded or that you're not even trying anymore with your shitposting.

And the whole point of the nuke was to show the ants never stood a chance against humanity, if you are only realizing this was a major theme just now you probably do have brain problems.

>>144419882

The only names I recongize belong to monsters.

>>144419712
Merriam-Webster defines metaphor as "an object, activity, or idea that is used as a symbol of something else". That's exactly what it is.
>>144419763
Then what's the point of bringing it up at all if it doesn't illustrate your argument?

Yeah, the whole point was to undo all the compltely unnecessary hype and fear mongering that dominated the entire arc. As I said: anticlimactic as fuck.

You could also get the same point across in a much better way. The ending of Parasyte the Maxim did a far better job at this. Good foreshadowing with the garbage truck as well as the woman saying that parasytes are fragile creatures and that they are underestimating humanity. None of that in HxH. Just "hurr durr I have a bomb up my ass deal with it". And no, some remarks here and there don't excuse a completely defeated man with no arms and legs having a fucking trump card out of nowhere. It's cheap, dumb, bad writing.

Naruto is superior. Even if Kishi was 100% inspired by HxH, this doesn't mean that HxH is better. A painter can get inspired by a dog turt. That doesn't mean the dog turt is art.

The whole point is that the ants' perspective was skewed and they knew nothing of the world. You talk about hype like some autistic child.

The nuke was extensively but subtly foreshadowed so it didn't come out of nowhere, it was done really well. It also was a logical conclusion to Meruem's existential crisis and was all around great writing, even if your asspie ass can't catch a hint to save your life.

It's relevant because that hack writer did everything in his power to indicate that the old fart had no options left and was completely defeated just to hit us with his "epic twist" of "lol I have a bomb in my ass".

I guess I'll never take any fight or otherwise dangerous situation this idiot writes seriously because every character can have whatever tool he needs in his ass. He and his idiot fans apparently think that's clever writing.
