Does this guy even want to become a hunter?
What's his deal?
He's just a sadist having a bit of sadist fun.
He doesn't.
He just wants his cup to runeth over with your tears.
Literally anon.
He was literally the best character in the entire series.
what a useless fat fuck
>>153469263
Read/Watch further, faggot, he literally explains this.
>>153469263
He's a dick that has given up on succeeding and finds this funny.
He's like those assholes in Runescape who would try to lure gullible, weak players into the wilderness.
>>153469263

>>153469804
This.
Or in Rust.
Worst kind of people, I'll never understand them.
>>153469263
His deal is that he's best character.
>>153469991
King, you're in minecraft
I was expecting him to become a hunter and have hilarious hijinks with Leorio. He's more or less still doing what what he does.
I just started watching this show.
I just wanted to watch something long and epic, is it alright if expect the LoGH-tier complexity and world building from this anime?
>>153470219
Expectations are garbage in general. Just watch it and experience it naturally.
>>153469263
He did at one point, but he failed so he wants others to fail too and started to delight in that, so much so that it became his only reason for living.
What would Tonpa's alignment be if Hisoka is Chaotic Evil?
Neutral Evil?
>>153470219
It gets worse, unfortunately. It starts off strong but becomes extremely cliche'd and uninteresting not too far in.
Ehh...
>>153470219
I'm 90 episodes in right now. The show is extremely formulaic so far. There was one good arc, the York New city arc, but everything else has been mediocre-average.
>>153470687
>Gon
>LG
Evidently made by a retard.
>>153470755
Does the story ever end?
Apparently the manga is still being published so why did the anime stop? Does it have its own ending?
>>153470755
The anime is shit, read the manga or drop the serie .
>>153470755
The real things will start in this arc boi
>>153470826
The anime lost popularity. The manga is still being published, but it isn't very popular and the creator's on hiatus. Honestly, you'd be better off starting something else. It's just not that good.
>>153470765
t. never read the manga or watched the show
stop posting
>>153470908
Man, it seems like I'll never find a show similar to LoGH.
>>153471254
>listening to other people who have different experiences, standards, values, and viewpoints to you instead of just forming your own
>>153471508
Life is just way too short to actually give everything a try, see it's shit then drop it.
So I sometimes have to believe what other people say, even though tastes are completely subjective.
am I the only one who prefers the 90s adaptation over the 2011's one?
>>153470687
>LG Gon
>CN Hisoka
yeah no
>>153472793
Why don't you agree?
I'm genuinely curious.
>>153469263
He had nothing else going for him so he wanted to see other people suffer.
>>153472697
besides the legendary heart-inna-bag scene and fast-forwarded beginning in '11 version, what's the difference?
>>153470687
Was Genthru a murderer outside GI or was he just taking advantage of the game situation?
>>153472824
Not that guy, but Gon strays from LG very early in the series, if you have seen/read through Chimera Ant there is no way he could be logically classified in that way. He literally threatens to do exactly what he is questioning in his quote during the palace invasion. There are tells earlier in the series as well as to his underlying personality.
>>153472697
I liked the York Shin arc in the original, and episode 1 since the '11 series was kind of dumb with how they handled it. But otherwise I like '11.
How is the original compared to this 2011 mess?
>>153472917
Never elaborated on, but his willingness to kill just to win and the nature of his nen suggests he would have no problem killing people outside of the game for his own ends.
>>153473261
top comfy and visually appealing to me at least.
90s show feels like an adventure, while 11's tries its hard to come across as a Shojo fighting show.
>>153469263
One of the most sincere characters in the series.
I respect him very much for that. Kind people are just like him, except they're too weak to admit that they do what they do for selfish purposes. They're the true scum and most evil people of all, really.
>>153470908
>Isn't very popular
That's wrong. With no material coming out and everything being discussed to death, topics have died down. Like how many Berserk topics have you seen recently?
>>153471254
Just watch a Gundam series or something, you won't find what you're looking for from a shonen series. /a/ is also the best and worst place for recommendations, you'll get raw unbiased opinions but also really dumb ones that is just shitposting for the sake of getting attention and riling fans up.
>>153470755
Well, the next 2 arcs are great, and the last animated arc is more of a transitional arc to things to come. Of course, this series will never finish due to hiatuses but we can at least imagine how good the boat and Dark Continent arcs could be.
>>153470908
Except that /a/ explodes whenever it comes off hiatus. The last big fight was spammed everywhere.
The problem is that Togashi comes out for about 10 weeks then goes back to hiatus for 2+ years, it is easy to see it as "dying" but HxH still sells boatloads whenever he gets it out.
>>153473410
Thanks for your reply, man, appreciate it.
I literally didn't browse /a/ since late 2012, seems like not much has changed.Except people are kinda more open when it comes to giving out recs.
I really want to see killua disembowel him
>>153473391
>Kind people are just like him, except they're too weak to admit that they do what they do for selfish purposes. They're the true scum and most evil people of all, really
But why does it really matter? Don't we all do "altruistic deeds" because deep down inside we know it's going to make us feel better and not because we truly care about the other person? (psychological egoism and all that stuff)
In the end it doesn't matter, people judge you by your actions, not by your thoughts/intentions.
>>153473525
How long before Togashi finishes?
Do you think there's going to be more back problems?
>>153469263
99 was better for many reason and having more screentime with this guy is one of them.
Tonpa was a fucking cunt.
>>153473663
>finishes
yeah, about that anon...
>>153473707
In the best possible way right?
>>153473529
No problem, I don't think that there's anything like LOTGH out there right now but space opera mecha series like Gundam are probably the next best thing. I would recommend the Iron Blooded Orphans series since it's the most recent one and is divorced from the main series, there are currently 2 seasons with the second still airing.
>>153473761
We might get to see Brion considering it's the expedition's target.
Of course, this will be in the 2030s and Togashi will croak as soon as they set foot in the ancient city.
>>153473602
It's funny that Killua was willing to kill some random goons but not Tonpa who went out of his way to fuck with them.
But then again, I think Togashi went a different direction with his character around the end of the exams anyway. Afterward he wasn't so willing to get randomly violent and most of his kills were against opponents that had it coming.
Who finishes first?
Miura
Togashi
Isayama
Araki
>>153473951
The scene in question.
>>153473900
Alright, I'll check it out, thanks.
Also, it's not even about LoGH being a space opera, I just want to watch something super long and epic/complex again.
>>153473975
why is the decapitated head so obviously aroused by this?
>>153470933
Gon isn't lawful good. He doesn't obey the law. Just his own moral compass. By that standard everyone on that chart is lawful good.
Those alignment charts are bullshit and setting alignments has always been a shitty thing. The only reason they did it in D&D was to give you a guideline to expect how people act.
>>153474128
also, they're fun
>>153473955
Araki, if you're just talking about the end of part 8. Who knows how long he plans to continue JoJo.
Togashi, despite all the hiatus, seems more passionate about his work considering the amount of effort and detail in chapters 340+. It may take a long time but I'm sure he'd like to see it to completion.
Meanwhile Berserk is a fucking joke and if it ever gets finished Miura would be working solely out of obligation, the man obviously doesn't have the edge anymore.
I don't know anything about SnK so feel free to fill me in.
>>153473975
Even by Shonen standards he's such a fucking sue. How did he win popularity polls?
>>153474697
Because fujos and shotacons
>>153474444
Attack on Titan will end by the end of 2018, Isayama confirmed it recently.
>>153469263
Someone explain me why Chrollo's so stupid
>had a whole year of prep to kill Hisoka
>doubt he's truly dead, asked members to check the corpse
>asked the weakest members without their abilities rather than Feitan and Phinks
what a fucking loser
>>153476523
He's world's worst boss.
>>153476292
Then that's it then. I doubt JoJo will end any sooner than 2020.
>>153474697
He's sexy as fuck anon.
Togashi will never finish HxH. The tech is there so that a bad back/hand whatever makes no difference. He could have someone else draw for him if he really wanted to. He is just too autismal to ask for help.
>>153473955
you forgot Inoue and Aoyama, no point to add FKMT since Akagi ends next year
>>153473955
Gaben with HL3 > GRRM with ASOIAF > Carti with the tape > Miura with Berserk
>>153472824
How can he be Lawful Good if his best friend is a hitman?
>>153473761
Do you think that the Hellbell snake could be responsable for the lot of sociopath weirdos running around in HxH's world? Even in the real world, there's few people as shitty as Hisoka, who literally gets off killing. It would make sense if he was bitten by a snake that got loose in the main world.
>>153476718
I think it's the level of shotabait in the manga that's turned people away.
Even the more West-friendly anime still has a shitfuckload of creepy moments with Gon and Killua. At one point Hisoka outright says they give him boners. It's just a little unsettling, and Togashi seems to embrace that reputation.
>>153473761
>implying we'll see them even when the manga is finished
How did you get this far without learning about Togashi's love of anti climaxes?
>>153477444
>At one point Hisoka outright says they give him boners
Well isn't that supposed to be creepy because Hisoka is creepy? It doesn't sound like something we're supposed to fetishizeeven if we do
>>153476523
Chrollo was sure the body was dead. He just had the intel guy Shalnark check to make sure it was actually Hisoka's rather than a bystander's disguised with Texture Surprise or some shit like that.
After being stalked for over a year, it was a reasonable assumption that if Hisoka was still alive he'd ignore the others and focus on tracking Chrollo down.
>>153478835
Chrollo was sure because Hisoka really was dead. If only they had waited a few more hours to detect the after death nen. Its really is a fucking slim chance, but with a guy as determine as Hisoka, I thought Chrollo would consider every outcome. Or they can just cremate the fucker
>>153470219
If you're a retard who unironically thinks LOGH is deep, well paced and well written then yeah you'll probably enjoy the clusterfuck that is the chimera ant arc.
>>153469263
He kill the King Chimera Ant
>>153476523
Chrollo isn't stupid, Hisoka's resurrection was such an asspull that he couldn't logically consider it as a possibility.
I want to watch more Hisoka killing spidernerds.
Has Togashi said something about ending the hiatus?
chrollo literally cheated
>>153480217
Literally every HxH fight is about cheating as much as possible.
>>153473951
He probably didn't want to kill anyone who gon socialized with.
>>153474697

Also why is it always the retards who claim the York""new"" one was the best and don't know how to use the word mediocre? Is it some sort of meme i'm not aware of?
>>153474444
>Who knows how long he plans to continue JoJo.
I remember him saying he wanted to do 9 parts, so assuming there's 2 years left of JJL, we could probably expect 7 or 8 years more for Part 9. He doesn't seem to take too many breaks, only recently with the anime and movie.
>>153481929
Friendly reminder DQXI is released this year
>>153482290
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.
>>153481929
Do you think he is aware of the boat memes?
Does he end up with purple chick or red chick? watch partway and saw how purple chick was first girl so i dropped it.
So who wins in a fight, the meme clown or the edgy midget?
>>153482583

>>153482999
I mean, I agree, but it has its fair share of good legit girls though
>>153480217
Chrollo is a thief. He doesn't play fair. Hisoka has no one to blame but himself for walking into such an obvious death trap.
Chrollo even gave him one last chance to fuck off before getting serious.Though knowing Chrollo, the offer could have just been bait to rile up Hisoka.
I don't care for the dark continent anymore, I just want to see Hisoka killing the spiders, I hate those fucking faggots
>>153483071
I know, it was just an hyperbole, i was kidding.
>>153483161
Honestly, I don't even care all that much about that.
Really, why the fuck did he make the series stop being about Gon and Killua's gay adventures?
Yorknew City was more of Kurapika's angry adventure, but Gon and Killua were at least still PRESENT.
After Gon completed his quest, the series just started meandering and the hiatus grew longer and longer.
It's a good thing the anime cut off when it did.
>>153483350
>After Gon completed his quest
You mean the whole 20 chapters after it?
>>153473761
>>153477494
I'm watching the anime with a bro these past few weeks, and I actuallly agree, the guy brings up so much shit he never really bothers delving into.

Fucking christ Togashi. I like when he does stuff like this.
>>153469979
Have you ever tried something with all your heart and get smashed into the ground like a bug? It hurts, to see other succuded so easily where you failed, to seem them walk past a path you struggled. If you could drag them down to your level or even below you you'd do it. Just to see their hopes and dreams die in front of them. It's petty, it's spitful, it's the mindset of an immature petulant child and it's real. Every single person on /a/ would love to make the normies suffer, to make the girls who rejected us pay for it, to make the people who got jobs, love, friends, sex just wither away in pain and regrets. "How could this happen?" "It's not fair!" "Why me?!" Yes, that'd be some of the things they shout. See, killing people is all too easy, we don't know if they just vanish, suffer or reach salvation, so it's better to make them live a life of painful suffering all the way til they want to kill themselves and find that they can't.
>>153483617
Sadly that happens every 5 years.
reminder that it wasn't a 1v1
>>153483835
>I think. Maybe.
Fuck you Togashi you absolute cunt
>>153483835
I really like how Togashi goes into detail with stuff like that. It gives tons of lore and excitement. He really created a world mixed with government and "magic"
>>153473951
Didn't he just kill those goons because he was pissed off that he couldn't beat Netero's ball game, right?
>>153472697
It had some really great looking episodes.
>>153472793
chaotic neutral for hisoka is fine.
>>153473955
Can we add Masatoshi to the hiatus club? I also think he might win
>>153469263
You're right, he's already strong enough he can beat Meruem at the start of the series, why bother becoming a hunter when you can become a god.
>>153484179
Hisoka can't be CN because he's actually a fine character. He has very clear desires that he pursues in a pretty straightforward fashion. Being eccentric =/= being chaotic.
>>153483835
It always pisses me off how that lazy fuck uses his cancer as an excuse to just sit around eating junk food and playing dragon quest all day. His gluttonous and slothful life style is having a far more negative impact on his health than continuing to put out a chapter a week would. How fucking hard is it just to doodle 17 pages of black and white pictures and write 3-5 paragraphs worth of content to go with it. I know people with cancer who still work manual labor all day.

>>153483350
Gon and Killua were the least interesting characters of all because they had no fucking personality. Even in an action-fighty-centric series you need some level of characterization beyond "Gon is really stubborn and pretty good at heart" and "Killua is an edgy retard who wants to kill people but also doesn't." I would've preferred an entire series about Kura or Leo. Hell, even Hisoka with his frequently one-note characterization of "I like fighting" was still infinitely more interesting than anything related to Gon.
>but because japan is weird they voted gon and killua the best because shotacon and so togashi kicked everyone else to the sidelines to make it all about the two most boring and one-dimensional faggots on fictional earth
>>153486180
To add, you CAN get away with very shallow characters in the short term and still make something great, don't get me wrong there, but the biggest problem of the manga is that Togashi wants to take those shallow characters and somehow make a very long story and "intricate" world with them, when there's no reason to give a shit about them. The anime did this too, which is why it cut its losses and bailed when it had the chance. There comes a point when mindless fighting between characters you aren't invested in gets really dull and old the hundredth time you see it.
>>153486180
>they had no fucking personality
>"Gon is really stubborn and pretty good at heart" and "Killua is an edgy retard who wants to kill people but also doesn't."
Are you pretending to be retarded or do you genuinely believe what you wrote? This looks like the opinion someone would have if they had watched 3 episodes
>>153486313
Way more than three, though I'll admit I've not read too much of the manga. The show came first for me, but from what I read that's the conclusion I draw.
If they get interesting in the last episode of the very least season or in that movie that no one watched, cool, but I'm not some kind of die-hard HXH viewer.
>>153470687
Move Gon to Chaotic neutral, Hisoka to Chaotic evil, and Kurapika to lawful good. I don't care about the rest.
>>153483755
>Every single person on /a/ would love to make the normies suffer, to make the girls who rejected us pay for it, to make the people who got jobs, love, friends, sex just wither away in pain and regrets.

>>153486373
Allow me to doubt this because it looks like you have no clue what you're talking about. What gives it away the most is when you claimed the anime bailed because of the supposed shallowness of the characters (it was because of the hiatus) and the "mindless fighting" (there aren't many fights in the series, the last arc had exactly 1 and the rest aren't mindless at all).
When you talk about how "one-dimensional" they are (which you're using wrong by the way), it's easily refutable because the progression of their characters and relationship throughout the series is pretty significant, hell their entire character arcs in CA is about their flaws and their different dynamics.
Be honest with me anon, how much of the series did you watch?
To be honest the election/alluka arc, and somewhat the end of the chimera ant arc kind of killed this series for me, and I don't like where it's going now I don't think.
The chimera ant arc had some okay plots but was told really poorly from the palace invasion onwards, getting mired in several plots happening, and having way too wide a focus on side characters (some of whom I think could have been cut entirely with very little effort without affecting the overall plot), instead of a tight focus on some key players like I think it should have had. It was hard to not skip entire chapters, and I just couldn't sit through the anime during many of those parts and skipped ahead.
I don't know why Togashi went from storytelling from character perspectives, through thoughts and words of characters, to deciding to do it from a 3rd person narration "suddenly at that moment X thought Y because of Z". Not that thoughts from characters would have been much better, it's as if he forgot to show and not tell whenever possible.
My only conclusion was that he thought there was too much going on too fast for the characters to be able to discuss/think about it and too complicated for him to just show it visually but at that point I think maybe he should have scaled back until he could do either, and the result is that a situation we have to be TOLD is happening incredibly quickly feels like it's moving at a fucking snail's pace because the narration is so heavy, and in the anime, completely stops the action while it's happening, the confrontation between pitou and gon was so spread out that it felt like a goddamn eternity and I found it hard to care about after the initial shock of the scene where gon enters and gets mad, because by the time that plot moves forward it's like 30 fucking chapters later.
I don't know why so many people seem to love this arc I thought it was a mess.
The arc following it I would have to make another post but I think the plot just kind of shits the bed.
I really like where the next arc is going now because every major player is heading to the same place.
Togashi could actually give closure to this fucking series.
>>153488159
>every major player is heading to the same place.
What? The two main characters aren't on that boat.
>>153488036
The narration worked in the manga because the composition of the pages was built around it and as you described, it works better than having the characters thoughts. It almost read like a light novel in a way at certain points. Most of the narration was needed, otherwise it would have been far too confusing to follow. You also make it sound as if everything was described in detail, he still left a good chunk of it up for interpretation, which is why there were a lot of debates about things such as "Was Pitou honest when apologizing?" or "Was Killua the one who fucked the friendship?". Sure there were some things that could have been told or shown differently, but at this point it's pretty much nitpicking.
You're wrong on several things though. Every event that was on panel felt like it had a purpose and by the end of the invasion it all sort of clicked together. When you think about it, Ikalgo's actions are what ultimately lead Welfin to telling Komugi's name to Meruem, Morel getting tricked by Pouf what lead Knuckle to keep Youpi busy etc etc.
About the Gon/Pitou confrontation, isn't that the entire point? Gon was mad as fuck but all he could do was sit and wait. That's the reason why he was so frustrated, and it was emphasized when Pouf fucked with him. I disagree when you say it made you care less about it, seeing him stewing in his anger through the whole invasion, only seeing him in a few chapters progressively losing his patience was far more effective at keeping me on the edge than just him getting angry then fighting Pitou immediately afterwards would have been.
I don't understand why people who dislike the CA arc bring it up all the time just to say they dislike it when it's not even relevant. At the very least you tried to be constructive which can't be said genrally, so i thought it was worth replying this one time.
>>153486454
I suppose you have a point. True neutral, then?
>>153488763
Who the fuck would think Killua fucked up the friendship? What was he supposed to do, tell Gon to give up hope on bringing back Kite? He probably wanted to believe it was possible almost as much a Gon did.
Killua did nothing wrong!

Who the fuck made this picture? The other ones don't make sense either, how was Meruem evil? His intentions were good and he was fair but he was driven by his animal instincts a lot, he should be chaotic good
>>153488886
He knew Kite was dead from the start.
When he sees Gon losing his shit before the invasion he does absolutely nothing, then he emotionally manipulates him during the invasion, and he guilt trips him almost immediately after he recovers from his suicide attempt.
Killua is a shit. A SHIT
>>153488978
Man, Gon's a dick.
>>153488478
Yeah but they already had like 3 fucking arcs of development. Gon already met his father and got in a status quo like situation in which he'll train slow and steady. Killua is stapled to Gon and their new trans-monster-daughter so his dreams don't matter. They could be shown after this arc just chilling in Whale Island and END.
This won't happen though, we still need a Kite arc I guess.

His Nen isn't gone, it's a mental block.
>>153489330
There's a difference between aura and nen anon.
He has his aura like every living being does but he can't use it anymore, which is what nen is.

Bomber?
>>153489386
You're right, I was looking trought the last chapters Gon was included but I was misremembering the nen bubbles scene. A nenless Gon is an interesting turn of screw though.
>>153489386
>>153489467
Alluka will somehow restore it back to normal, calling it now.
>>153489103
He didn't know. Nobody knew for sure if Pitou would be able to heal Kite. And how the fuck did Killua emotionally manipulate Gon? The two were split up for most of the invasion. Killua was prepared to sacrifice everything to help Gon. He was prepared to leave when Bisky said he was becoming a liability, and he was prepared to die, his only thoughts of regret at his inability to help Gon as he bled out on the cold floor. Killua's only crime was not knowing how to calm Gon down, and can you blame him? Even if you didn't grow up emotionally stunted in a murder family that imprisons it's own children, trying to reason with a mind broken Gon would be an impossible task for anyone. I hardly think the blame of Gon going full psycho lands on Killua, especially since the fact he couldn't stop it tore Killua up inside.
And Killua a CUTE! Fuck you!

>>153489596
Oh yeah, that scrub. They should have put him out of his misery.
>>153489563
>trying to reason with a mind broken Gon would be an impossible task for anyone
To me, this was the point, Gon is always ridiculously determined on whatever goal he has in mind, and this was this character trait finally turned against his friend who's only trying to help him and trying to keep him from doing something he'll regret.
>>153489534
If that was the direction Togashi wanted to take why would he have made Gon lose his nen at all?
>>153471254
If you want an actual plot along with political banter and armchair philosophy you're far better off looking for manga, most anime are character driven affairs with limited interactions at best
>>153489684
Make Gon think about what he'd want to do after he found Ging.
>>153489563
From the start he said he left Kite to die. He was probably lying to Gon because he didn't want to hurt him but even if he had good intentions it still went to shit.
Also i'm not blaming him for Gon losing his marbles, i'm just saying he did nothing to stop it in time. He also blamed him for being traumatized and despaired, again immediately after he got out of the hospital.
>that webm
He isn't crying because he's worried for Gon, but because he thinks he can't be the one to help him. He is irrefutably a SHIT
>>153469263
There is no way this fatass could past first running exam. MAJOR PLOTHOLE. Sad.
>>153474697
>he's a sue
He's below the level of hisoka and hanzo and even admits this during the hunter exam
Not to mention the needle, his conflicting emotions, his reliance on gon, etc.

Good times.
>>153490068
You are a fucking cunt
>>153489916
He's crying because he doesn't know how to help his friend, and he's so out of ideas he's begging an enemy monster trying to kill him for help because he's that desperate for any chance that might save Gon. And stop making it sound like Killua bullied Gon back onto a ledge. We don't know what he said to Gon immediately after the hospital because we don't see them talking together again until the world tree, where Killua very lightly admonishes him for saying a very hurtful thing. All we know of before that time is that Gon apologized, probably of his own accord.
And no, he didn't know. Even if he suspected it was a slim chance, of course he held out hope that Kite could be fixed since all he wanted was for Gon to be happy again.
>>153489534
There's nothing to "restore" that would require Nanika fuckery.
>>153490252
what about an engaging plot
>>153490191
>webm
>very hurtful thing
Killua literally admits Gon was right about this: he was just throwing a tantrum and didn't care about Kite. And it's not hurtful at all, he's just saying he's lucky he can be so clear headed about this.
Also Killua didn't see Gon immediately after he went out of the hospital, they only saw eachother after the election stuff was over. He asked Morel not to tell him he was the one who healed him with Alluka, but he tells him himself as soon as he gets the chance.
What he really wanted was to be Gon's center of attention: he wanted Gon to ask him to fight Pitou together, even if they both would have died. He admits this just after saying Gon was right.
>>153490324
Plot's better off without Nanika.
>>153490324
The plot is engaging as it is, we just need less hiatus.
Also where the fuck are Ging and Chrollo
Is there gonna be another hisoka/kurapika teamup?
Goddamn I wish togashi didn't hiatus so much. It hurts. I want to see them get to the continent but we're barely on the fucking boat with a shit ton of nenbeasts and spiders to deal with.
Also, gon lost his nen, so he has to train again to get it. It's not gone forever, I don't know why people are saying that.
>>153490355
kind of what I meant
>>153490381
>so he has to train again to get it
I don't know why people keep saying that either when Ging suggests the opposite
>>153490438
Ging never says it's gone forever, dude, he just says that gon shouldn't expect to have his nen abilities and potential anymore and to just be glad that he's alive.
>>153490328
Gon says that their situation meant nothing to Killua. It was hurtful because after all Killua went through he clearly demonstrated that what was important to Gon meant a great deal to him, not because he cared about Kite but because he cared for Gon. Gon coldly implied that Killua is unfeeling, when we know Killua was also on the brink of an emotional break down.
Of course he wanted Gon to rely on him when fighting Pitou, they were best friends and he wanted to share the burden of his pain. It's not selfish to want to stand by your friends, it's pretty normal. Especially since he knew the alternative was Gon dying alone without a chance in the world.
And Killua says the reason he didn't tell Gon about Alluka sooner was because he didn't want word to spread about her powers. Maybe he was lying. Maybe he wanted to introduce Gon to Alluka first. It's hard to say. But at that point it was clear that Killua was trying to distance himself from Gon, so I don't think he was doing it to impress him.
>>153490376
I think the plot is meh at the moment, without a character with a strong motivation to go that I also care about, I don't give even a little shit about the dark continent. I'm only hanging on for the potential spider-kurapika-hisoka boat clash at this point since I don't really care about any of the other characters.
>>153470687
swap hisoka and king
>>153490068
fuck you i lost my first full rune armor there
>>153483079
It backfired on him, because noww Hisoka's gonna kill the whole spider.
>>153473955
Is Drrr done yet?
I have zero experience with this series.
Please tell me is the ending in sight? I don't want to start something if it's never going to end.
>>153492379
It's on hiatus and there's a bunch of plot threads that probably won't be resolved this arc so no.
The fans of HxH, which I hear is highly overrated, should apologize for flooding the board with these shit threads, just get a general!
>>153492336
It finished ages ago man
>>153490191
>That webm
If the anime resumes I hope Mori will still be an animator director for it or just let her have the director role, since that episode was phenomenal.
>>153489563
>trying to reason with a mind broken Gon would be an impossible task for anyone
Johan Liebert, Pariston, Ging, Yang Wen-li, Reinhard von Lohengramm, Akagi Shigeru, Shinichi Kudo, L could do it
>>153493885
Hyperbole seems to be lost on you.
Also what's the point of naming characters from completely different series?
>>153494284
I like namedropping them. Pariston and Gin are from HxH btw
>>153483502
I hope Hanzo will play a big role in this arc. He's too much of good character to go to waste having little page time.
As a wee lad I thought Kurapika was a girl-reverse trap. I wanted to marry her.
>>153494651
I'm well aware.
>>153470687
Retarded chart.
leave spiders to me
>>153470687
You're one Dumb boy.
Can I have a stupid question? Is greed island arc any good? I find it boring so far and think about skipping to the next arc.
I wonder what Pariston's ability is.
>>153496560
Do you think Hisoka's hunting down the gang out of butthurt or just to have a rematch? It's against his code of honor to just hunt down weak opponents indiscriminately like this so I'm wondering if he really intends to go through with the spider genocide or not. Also I'm sure he wouldn't kill Machi for a dumb reason like that.
>>153469659
>t. hunter exam flunkie
>>153497830
He's beyond furious. And to be fair, I understand him perfectly : Chrollo styled on him the entire match.
>>153496653
it's alright, there's a reveal part of the way through that makes it more interesting but for the most part it's not super important
It does introduce a few important characters and the beginning of the next arc won't make much sense without it though so I recommend finishing it
it's not too long anyways so just rush through it
>>153498862
What does this face try to convey?
I hope the boat just titanics and everyone dies at this point, this series became so joyless
>>153493885
Also Shinya Kogami.
>>153492379
I'm sorry but it's never going to be finished.
>>153492379
There's a part that seems like an ending, but then it keeps going after that. Honestly you could just read or watch up to that part and then wait, the current arc is the one right after the not-ending and the main character of the other arcs isn't even a main character in this one yet so it seems pretty disjoint from the arc before.
>>153470687
I made my own chart
>>153489965
He's still an author-insert sue. Hisoka and Hanzo can kick his ass sure but sues aren't necessarily unbeatable, just portrayed a certain way and given great abilities with no explanation as to how they got them. Gon is also sue-ish in many ways. Whether they're extraordinary sues or just common sues found in action manga is up for speculation. Most action manga relies on unnaturally good/perfect/powerful characters.
>>153500400
>gon chaotic good
>tonpa chaotic neutral
>gyro lawful evil
what the fuck
Hisoka should be Neutral Evil, Gyro and Tserriednich Chaotic Evil, Tonpa Lawful Evil, Gon Lawful Neutral,
>>153499421
what would the faggot do?
>>153497696
some hax complex shit like D4C
>>153500516
>Hisoka and Hanzo can kick his ass sure but sues aren't necessarily unbeatable
Isn't one of the defining traits of a Mary sue the fact that they never really lose anything?
>>153500967
I don't understand these choices. Gyro is lawful evil because he is a tyrant. Chaos implies a lack adherence to rules. Gyro is a king. I don't see how Gon is lawful, he's like the definition of a free spirit. He does whatever the fuck he wants for the most part.
>>153470687
>>153500400
The real problem with these charts is that people try and put only one character in each spot
There can be more than one of each alignment, it's not like one character being something restricts another character from being it too
>>153500516
But all of their powers are explained and they aren't particularily powerful, as a matter of fact they're both weaker than most of the cast
Morel and Knov even thought they'd be liabilities and they got beat by Knuckle and Shoot even though they had a whole month of training/prep time and they often get called out on the stupid shit they do, like when the greed island dude scolded Gon for losing his cool
Why is it always the mouthbreathers who don't know what a Sue is who are the first to use that word?
>>153473301
I literally always forget this fucker exists.
Is genthru the most forgettable arc-ending villain of all time?
>>153501293
>Killua weaker than most of the cast
>Bitchslapped Yupi for 15sec
>Implying he wouldn't kill Chrollo or Hisoka in a split second
>>153502258
Shoot did this too, and he had a broken leg
Neither of them did any damage to Youpi
>>153501173
Mary Sues can lose if losing makes them look better, stronger, or like a superior character.
>>153502258
To be fair the majority of the cast can (and often does) kick the shit out of Gon/Killua. Still, I don't know why it was necessary that they had to be kids. The first "Mary Sue" character was also inexplicably a kid with unrealistic and extraordinary abilities who died in the end but everyone loved her and thought she was better than they were even though she was intentionally written badly.
>>153497830
he's just fighting on their level now
Killua is cute!
>>153489965
>implying being a Mary Sue is about power level
A Mary Sue has nothing to do with how strong someone is. It is strictly whether or not a character feels like a self-insert out of as bad fanfiction, which is Kilua's character to a fucking T. He single-handedly ruins an otherwise decent manga because of how cancerous he is.
>>153504629
>Implying he missed my heart
>>153504828
Especially now that he has a fucking wish master in his back pocket, kid's practically post-rose Meruem level now.
