Kind of. It doesn't really matter though.

No, Nanika is a calamity and will tie into the Dark Continent arc.

Yes

It is currently an asspull, but can stop being one if they expand on how she ties in to the dark continent.

But it doesn't really matter since this will never be continued.

I hate the fact they placed OHH THE EDGE level cost for using Alluka like i mean you couldnt just have one wish granting reality bending being. Also if you were gonna deus ex machima Gon's asspull then you should have never written the Chimera Ant Arc in the first place.

Yes.

It was such a letdown too, because they meticulously set up all those conditions, and did a good job with all the tension and buildup. It had the potential to be so good, then just ended it with:

>Oh it turns out she can actually do anything with no consequence or explanation at all

Wasn't the explanation that if the wish was selfless it doesn't cost anything. Or something like if it's used to heal?
>>
>>154234035
No. Just because something wasn't foreshadowed doesn't make it an asspull.

Killua does not know all rules. Could be that healing requires no requests but something of another magnitude like reviving the one that dealt the damage or creating a monster that is capable of doing the damage that has been healed could be a thing here.

Wasn't the Ai thing the "desire of codependence" or something? There's obviously more to it
>Killua's family relations are largely unaffected despite him callously defying them
They let Killua get away with defying them since the first arc, and he actually stabbed his mother in the face back then
>Gon is up and running again within an hour, so his ultimate sacrifice during the chimera ant arc meant nothing in the long term
The entire point is that his autistic crusade was pointless from the start
Also the 2 main protags separated, the MC lost his powers and was largely irrelevant in the last couple of arcs so it's pretty significant from a storytelling point of view

Sort of. But it's an acceptable asspull compared to what you normally see in shonen series, since Gon ended up losing all of his Nen powers and basically has to sit out this arc, plus Nanika is being worked into the storyline as a major plot point for the next arc.

All too often in Shonen series when the MC is near death, they get some asspull to heal them, they're fine and keep right on going the next day as if nothing happened and the asspull itself is never really explored. This is moderately better than that.

I think Ging has to die. Gon's problem right now is that he's lost his purpose for hunting and needs to find a new one. Ging was his previous purpose, so having him still on the board seems like it would hinder Gon from moving on. Gon has also been selfish and naive, interacting with the world without any thought to consequence or perspectives outside of his own. A more mature Gon will act with with self awareness, and possibly for the sake of others.

Alluka will also have to die or leave Killua. Killua has also lost his purpose and is leaning on her as a substitute now that he's had to leave Gon. Killua is a person who needs to be needed, and in parallel to Gon he needs to live more selfishly and independently.

I don't know where that will leave those two characters in the end, but I want to think they will get a soft ending where they continue to work in whatever hunting field they've chosen for themselves, either together or separately. Maybe they will be dark continent hunters or something. Leorio will go home and open his own clinic, and maybe Kurapika will start a family after he's finished with his revenge, or his pursuit of vengeance will kill him, and the Kurta line will end with him.

>>154261594
This is more or less where I thought the series was going to go before CA arc happened.
I'm kind of hoping Gon gets over Ging now that he stumbled across him and spoke to him, and was hoping he'd seriously find his own personal goals for being a hunter, he seems like a driven person who wouldn't be constantly dragged around the world in reaction to other characters. But I'd accept him trying to avenge his dad more easily than Kite.

As for Alluka, if she actually had more of a character than was shown, I thought it was going to go in a bit of a darker direction. Not that she dies, but maybe after some adventures with Killua with her power sometimes going wrong/somehow ends with the deaths of some innocents, she herself would want to go back home and be locked up because she thinks she's too dangerous to be free. But all you really see of her as a character is onii-chan uguu~ and muh nanika so whatever.

Short version: End it with Ging and Gon's talk and him returning home. Have Killua visit him after a prolonged period, alongside Leorio and Kurapika. Biscuit and Hisoka can come too.

Things like Nanika and Hisoka's LISTEN UP are the proof in the pudding that Togashi is just a slightly above-average mangaka, and not the genius that his fans make him out to be. Stinks a little less than the rest of the shit, but he's still shit.

With the two most recent arcs I really don't know what to make of his writing as well. Election arc effectively killed most of the consequences of the CA in roughly 10 chapters, and the DC is already off to the same start. I don't think Togashi is as good as a writer as some fans give him credit for.
>>
>>154272707
With the latest arc it's a good chance to explore Gon's character more and give him his own reason to be a hunter instead of just following muh dad and reflecting on his own actions during the CA arc. If Togashi will do this or not I dunno.

Because it wasn't their problem and even if it was, they won't use Alluka if they can avoid it. If they used her for something as big as killing Meruem, the next requests from Nanika would have been astronomic, and denying them could have resulted in the death of the whole family, if they were unlucky.

Still not an asspull. The greater the power, the greater the risks, and Nanika's conditions are pretty harsh.

This is fucking obvious. Ai is the entity of co-dependence, it just works as some sort of machine that echanges its powers for some proportional consequences. But it worked that way because it is a calamity, an object of despair, meaning it's supposed to bring displeasure to people. When Ai realized that its own self was acknowledged and loved by a creature from a different specie, its whole coordinate axis was moved. The desire of co-dependence that never found love finally found one. Ai became a human. That means the calamity aren't just sheer forces of nature born to create chaos, but just like the KA, can become good.

How about you wait for someone to resuscitate Togashi so he can do it himself? Alluka has been setup as our second taste of what the outer world can offer. The Chimera Ants are a lesser threat but these calamities are world ending ones.

Complain about an asspull all you want, I think Alluka was just rushed in some regards but I reserve my judgement until after we get the backstory on the Zoldyck's excursion with Netero.

>>remaining Chimera Ants are pretty cool guys and no longer a threat
Not so. The ones that regained their humanity are cool, but there are 5000 easily persuaded newborns waiting to be imprinted upon. That at least, still leaves the Chimera Ants as some threat in the background.

>only real consequence was the Chairman staying dead
Netero dying emboldens his son to announce the dark continent voyage. Obviously Kakin had been planning the voyage for years but Netero's death means that nobody can really hold Beyond back. You also have Pariston leaving, Ging Leaving, Reform to the organization, etc. More hunters are killed and we find out that the organization only has 300+ members. the temp hunters and pros killed during the CA arc, as well as the ones killed during the Election arc; although not all of them were strong fighters, represents a pretty heavy loss to an organization that only loses 1 or so members a year on average.

I'm not saying that we didn't step back from some consequences. But it's not like things got reset to zero.

My prediction is that Nanika will leave Alluka to return to the dark continent, or will disappear through some other means, and without Nanika Alluka won't need to be locked up.

Gon's already gone the revenge route, and he's not close enough to his dad to warrant that. I just think it will be difficult for Gon's character to come into his own in the shadow that's cast by Ging now that he's a part of the story, so I want to see Ging gone.

As things are, it feels like a bit of a cop out, though. It would've been this really tragic and heartbreaking ending, and it all gets undone like it's not a big deal after all
But if Gon is permanently crippled/dead, what's the point of continuing?
For Gon's story it would've been a perfect conclusion given the point of the character, like a "fuck you, no happy endings" punch to the gut.
I feel like Togashi hit a really strong high note at the end of that arc, and when he tried continuing he immediately began to stumble. It would've been better to just end it there

It was like Jotaro getting timestop at the end of Part 3. An asspull, but the author managed to do something interesting with it, and at least it was moderate (no Nen back for Gon, no instant win for Jotaro like with Giorno). It doesn't even bother me that Alluka gave Killua a wish for free, if it only can give "clean" wishes without consequences it kinda fits with HxH's general theme of human being bastards (the calamity isn't bad by itself, it's made bad because humans' greed). In a reversal of his usual cynicism, the assassin clan that studies Alluka in a cold, scientific and dehumanizing way, couldn't figure half of what Killua learnt by treating Alluka and Nanika as human beings.

I really loved the family brawl and the conflicting motivations that ran even among the servants. Even if you have a magical key to fix everything, you can create conflict making the characters disagree about how to better use it.

There's also a chance that Killua might have been hiding more rules, maybe a selfless wish implies some strict rules (Killua got a free healing because he honestly wished his friend to get better, you can't for example wish for an army to revive just to send them to fight again).

And both with Jojo and with this, if you make an effort, you can make it make sense, but it's clear the author didn't have it well thought (in Togashi's case, he left a clue with the Zoldyck kids' names, but for me he just wanted to leave open the possibility of add another Zoldyck).

The point is, maybe it was an asspull, but that doesn't make it neccessarily bad.

>Ging has to die
Gon doesn't really care that much about ging. I don't think his death would affect him as much. Especially not after what happened with kite and how that whole story concluded.

>Gon has also been selfish and naive,
Selfish yes but then again you have to be a bit selfish to be a hunter. Also he has gotten less naive as time went on. Evidence by the entire chimera ant arc. He doesn't get tricked in this arc by anyone, If anything he is the one who constantly had the upper hand. The stronger he gets stronger the less him being naive and selfish start to matter. He learns very quickly too.

>A more mature Gon will act with with self awareness, and possibly for the sake of others.
You are literally giving him a lobotomy. He's not a hero and I don't think he ever will be. He is very similar to ging in this regard.

>Alluka will also have to die or leave Killua.
Yeah, I agree with you on this. I would also take a more in depth explanation on what she actually is. She can't be the only thing from the dark continent.

I think gon will turn out exactly like ging and i'm kind of hoping that killua ends up being an assasin and takes up the mantle. Their relationships would be like netero and the zoldycks. not that gon would be like netero just that they would have a cordial relationship
>>
>>154267901
I actually think he will just be a once off and we are done with him.

>>154288589
Imagine how inconvenient his power actually is outside of the game. His ability has way too many conditions to pull of against a good hunter. Gon held of fairly well against him even though genthru underestimated him early on. I think the hunter that hisoka fought in the tournament arc could probably take him though it would be really close.

Killua might get involved in the DC arc of he learns about Ai and wants to seek a way to free Alluka from it. Once she's free and lives a normal life he will go back to adventures with Gon.

>>154265068
I actually liked the guy. Countdown was tailor made for how GI works. Little flower isn't anything to sneeze at. I believe his design is intentionally misleading because he's supposed to look like some generic team mate until he reveals his villainy, but he also doesn't have some "transformation" so he can look more intimidating. He's a master of CQC and capable of taking down hunters of his caliber.

You can argue that he would only have been a threat in GI and I wouldn't disagree. But he's a solid antagonist. Too bad Togashi didn't give him Karasu's powers from YYH, that would have been more amazing.

I'm not saying that Gon should be some big dicked hero saving helpless townsfolk, more that his character motivation will change to wanting to be a benefit to those around him. Gon's only moral code is that those who hurt his friends are bad, and he never wants to be in a position where someone is dying in front of/because of him again.

And I don't think that Ging's death should be the inciting force for some emotional development for Gon, Kite kind of already had that covered. I just think Gon's development is hampered so long has he's in the story.

I'm still amazed that Togashi statted out every card and their effect.

Razor was really the final boss and Genthru was more a final exam.

I think it could be an interesting continuation of his growth, people in specialization tend to have a focus on one of the other categories either way, so I think it'd be interesting to see if was specialization with a bit more of a focus on enhancement

It's not just that though, the ability is just a bit flawed. Even when Gon uses it in his adult form it doesn't seem amazing.
Sure, the close-mid-long range thing is somewhat thought out, but it's very simplistic and takes time.
I mean I guess that might be nice from a manga perspective where you want to make an ability out to be extremely powerful and such, but it's not actually good.

>the ability is just a bit flawed
Yes, because it was made by a kid who doesn't have the benefit of extensive combat training or a real imagination. He took Rock Paper Scissors and decided to weaponize it. His startup condition is the chant which had been pointed out as being way too unweildy. And even in his Super Saiyan form he only got a power boost, not a speed boost in terms of activation.

But Enhancement as a whole is a solid category and even if the user mixes in another category Enhancers can have the highest base defense when it comes to nen and their offense doesn't require as many stipulations to be effective. It literally is the "punch harder" power set but that's ok because like I said. Punching harder is a viable strategy.

Gon is way too straightforward and simple to really benefit from having a primary affinity for another school of Nen. If he had trained naturally I feel like he either would have shifted from Ja-janken or introduced more variations because we all know/were that one kid who threw out Bomb while playing RPS. It would have been cool if he created a gimped version of Little Flower in honor of his battle with Genthru.
>>
>>154297232
Yeah, I don't really disagree. I just feel like it's not an impossibility at this point, because of everything that has happened, that he might shift over in to specialization.
I mean it's very possible that nothing will change too, since the japanese are very fond of straight forward simple power MCs.

I just want to see something more interesting from enhancers, like Palms full body hair armour. That one's pure genius I think, since she doesn't have to bother with defense.
Punch harder shit like Uvo, Gon and Phinks have are just.. I don't know. I mean I guess simple abilities have to exist too.

Even if you were right the most important part would still be missing, his personality, backstory and motivations. What we know:
>he's a murderous asshole (pretty much standard for any throwaway villain)
>he wants to win GI, but we don't even know why
>he's on relatively good terms with his teammates, but in the aftermath of the phantom troupe arc it's like nothing in comparison, they have basically no characterization together

it was like he was some greed island NPC pretending to be a player

But they aren't important for his character. We get little to no backstory on any of the GI players during the arc, even Tssegerich or whatever his name was only got a brief introduction and we still don't really know much about him despite him being a semi-recurring character.

I don't think Genthru needed a backstory because funny enough, GI kind of just assumes that it's not important from Gon's perspective. Like Genthru is some fleshed out villain but because all Gon was doing at the time was training by digging holes in mountains; all we got to see was the moments where Genthru was killing people.

We know he wants money, we know he's been playing GI for over 5 years, and we know he's ruthless. That's all thats really relevant to his character. Hell even when Hisoka first showed up we knew nothing except he was a creepy clown who was clearly better than everyone else in the exam.

>>154303519
You might not need more than that, but it didn't make for a very entertaining villain to me

and hisoka got fleshed out into a crazy pedophile who is sexually aroused by strong people, genthru's story is over and he has no mystique left

genthru also had sort of a mystique, but unlike hisoka it amounted to nothing in the way of an entertaining character

he might not have needed a backstory, but he didn't really have a memorable personality or even a motivation aside from winning money, you could at least have done shown how they were going to abuse the three card prize to do something unique outside of the game
and you might do a villain with no motivation but greed, but I think it needs to be commented on in the story, otherwise you're not doing any deconstruction or subversion, you're just doing another lazy anime villain

I feel you and I don't know what else to say. Genthru was a neat villain, he fit well into the setting, and he was memorable to me because of countdown and his fight with Gon.

I think what you are looking more for was Razor in GI and like I pointed out, he's really the final boss with Genthru being the final exam of everything Gon had learned about Nen combat and GI rules.

Thinking back it was ridiculous that this training arc happened without it jumping straight to working on hatsu. She had to fucking remind them to use gyo when gon had an entire fucking fight with hisoka to demonstrate the significance of it.

Especially since it was followed by another unnecessary training session with shoot and knuckle after fighting genthru

I think if Illumi had Killua kill Bodoro it would have been more about breaking Killua's spirit than getting him to fail the exam or anything, to show him that the only thing he's good for is killing people.

I mean they did just have that whole conversation before about how Killua wanted to be Gon's friend and Illumi telling him how he could never have friends or a normal life since the only thing he's good for is being an assassin. Having Killua kill Bodoro, especially when he doesn't know he's being manipulated by the needle in his forehead, would just prove his point.

Nanika was literally the only ass pull in the series.

The recent stuff with Hisoka, and Gon's power up vs Pitou were almost asspulls. I mean they explain the mechanisms for that stuff to happen like once, but they don't go into too much detail like they do with all the other powers/abilities. So they're still explained, could just be done a bit better.

It's not like we hadn't seen that the world had modern technology. Sure they didn't really hint at it, but it's not like something that was invented out of thin air.

Assuming Togashi is the one doing the covers, I think he just likes doing symbolic pieces. They're fantastic. Though his would-be wife helped color this one.

Togashi already retconned Gon's age once or twice so we might never see them grow up until a major timeskip.

A lot of characters looked really off model in their first appearance compared to what their character designs became, even as far in as the CA arc. I think that's just Togashi's way. It says right on the page that Killua is supposed to look the same age as Gon, and by that point in the manga it was established that Gon was younger then Kurapika.

>Please, Togashi wrote himself into a corner
No? He already stated that Netero was under orders by the V5 to make sure to kill the Chimera Ants. The Rose was just a failsafe but he had hoped to be able to do it with just his martial arts. Not to mention the Chimera Ants at the end of the day weren't supposed to be a threat because this was the "humanity is the real monsters" arc for HxH. He did this too during YYH and Level E. The Bomb was abrupt but it was supposed to be narratively speaking. If we knew that he had the bomb the whole time it would have killed some of the tension because you would have expected him to have to use it.

Plot twist is an appropriate word here. It's not like deadly weapons aren't already a thing in HxH.

More to that, orders are treated as different than wishes. An order has no renumeration, and healing also has no remuneration. Any other form of wish has a proportional cost that must be paid off by the next requester.

The power has a loophole specifically for him if he makes it an "order" as a brother rather than a request, which anyone can make.

What the fuck, man? That's not how you use "waifu". A cute girl is not a "waifu", it's just a random girl.

Except Netero knew since the beginning of the arc that defeating Meruem would be impossible but still needed kill him. And the fact that he planned the events since the attack to the mansion to his fight with Meruem specifically to double checkmate him first with the bomb and then with the poison (hence why he sent Pitou, the only antnwho could heal the poisoning, several miles away). The entire third part of the CA arc was Netero's gungi strategy.
>>
>>154343276
doesn't that happen very soon after togashi (biscuit) presents us with a chart of 2 different persons' potential power levels?

person A only at his peak can defeat person B, but killua's fatal flaw is that he assumes he himself (A) is below peak performance, and assumes person B is at peak performance.

if these two situations take place as close together as I think, how is this confusing to you?
>>
>>154342653
Read the fucking thread.

>>154343756
When and how did Illumi put that needle in him? Is it a physical one or a nen one? How did he know he had a needle?How did he remove it?
>>
>>154344646
The answer to all of those questions is:
Togashi is a fucking hack
>>
>>154344646
These are valid questions too, but my problem was with the character, I liked cowardice, or just fear of dying being Killua's character flaw, it was simple, somewhat poetic, and is relatable, and thought maybe he was going to get over it, or at least make progress here, the needle though retroactively ruins the character for me since as soon as he removes it he's completely fearless and seems to "level up" and just instakill Rammot. Many other problems with it for me but this is my biggest issue and it's really where I stopped enjoying the series onwards.
>>
>>154344646
>When and how did Illumi put that needle in him?
Illumi put the needle in his Killua's head while he was training him.

>Is it a physical one or a nen one?
The needle is a real needle as Illumi is a manipulator that relies on physical objects.

>How did he know he had a needle?
Killua sussed it out over a number of battles where he kept hearing Illumi's voice cautioning him, as well as understanding how his brother fights (needles has always been his signature even before Killua knew about Nen)

>How did he remove it?
He pulled it out of his head barehanded.

>>154344851
>as soon as he removes it he's completely fearless
This isn't true, what he loses is the hesitation when it comes to battle. And A lot of his confidence in the CA arc later is him forcing himself along in order to help Gon. Killua doesn't become immune to fear and he more than demonstrates this during the Election arc when his brother is chasing him, but he lost the voice always keeping him from going all out in a situation where the outcome is uncertain.

Also keep in mind his exchange with Palm after she is turned. He is broken inside and that whole arc was wearing him down. Had palm not regained her humanity Killua would have taken a huge hit if not outright died.
>>
>>154295407
>many a nen user has been fucked over by their own nen all the fucking time.

And yet everyone and probably every living thing can be a possible nen user, Buddha Man was one of those extremely rare individuals, but then again he DID practice nen non stop for years at one point.

Meruem had raw nen potential, and if he became skilled and talented, and lived, he would have been a WND.

Nen is THE only reason I read HxH to begin with.

Gon lost his nen because he made a covenant to give up the rest of his life for the power to kill Pitou.

Hunters get stars for making significant discoveries in their field of expertise. I don't think "father hunter" is a field that would be acknowledged by the association.

It's really fucking sad.

Although I am happy that now that he lost his Nen, we hopefully got rid of him for a about an arc or two, but on the other hand, how pathetic that he did all that just to kill the sweet & cute cat girl Pitou?

If he didn't kill her, she could have been convinced to live to redeem herself by protecting the last remaining Royal Family member - Meruem's twin and hence the ruling King of Chimera Ants, Kite.

It would be such a great plot twist, that first she kills him and now she has to serve him. Now that she's dead, it's so hard for me to fantasize about marrying her and making a nice litter of little Pitous with her. Dammit!!

At the time, despite having their own issues with taking the initiative, Knuckle and Shoot were far better combatants and better suited for the Operation at hand. Gon lacked in a lot of areas, his attacks take too long and he's still reeling from Kite sending him off. Killua is a much better fighter, but he's got his brothers training holding him back because his fear.

That's why both of them lose.

Nigga you are stupid. He just as easily could have written Palm to not have lost her humanity in the first place, the royal guards didn't know if the experiment would work.
Plus he actually gave a medical explanation on why it helped her. What a retarded thing to get upset about.

It still bothers me we didn't get to see Hisoka, Leorio, and Kurapika take on any ants.

According to Togashi Hisoka was near the royal guard in overall ability.

They are essentially the same thing, his brother still taught him to be overly cautious, the needle just makes it a stronger mandate.

>Plot twist is an appropriate word here. It's not like deadly weapons aren't already a thing in HxH.

When you pull it out of seemingly nowhere to resolve a conflict with no prior hints alluding to it's an asspull


>>154343791
>Except Netero knew since the beginning of the arc that defeating Meruem would be impossible but still needed kill him

Netero made that assertion that his 'current strenght' wasn't good enough before he began training his nen again. Just because it was later confrimed doesn't stop the nuke for being an asspull.


>Hence why he sent Pitou, the only antnwho could heal the poisoning, several miles away). The entire third part of the CA arc was Netero's gungi strategy.

Nukes were already mentionned in the arc.

Togashi could easily have written Meruem to die from Zero Hand. The nuke was clearly used for thematic purposes.

You have a teenager's understanding of writing.

Chrollovers are the worst

>>154347503
>When you pull it out of seemingly nowhere to resolve a conflict with no prior hints
But you are wrong anon. Why do you think that Togashi had Netero bring Mereum all the way to that missile testing ground? Not that anon, but it was definitely to minimize the number of lives lost if the Black rose went off.

Not that other anon but it was clear in the end that Netero had put this bomb into his machinations long before we would have known about it. The rest of the forshadowing is like other people have pointed out. Nuclear and biological weapons were introduced as concepts in the Republic and we knew about the V5 ordering Netero to solve this infestation "by any means necessary" when they first showed up.

HxH has moments that can certainly be called asspulls but this isn't one of them and no amount of smug faces will change that unless you get better arguments other than your own speedreading.

Hell, even if that theory is true why should it matter? Hisoka challenged a guy to a fight to the death, why should Chrollo honor a 1v1 when he doesn't give a shit about Hisoka's combat lust? To Chrollo, Hisoka went from a comrade to a nuisance and he states that he's tired of running.

Plus in the world of Nen, where people can summon additional fighters or control other people why would anyone expect a simple 1v1 when walking into a fight? Fact is whether aided by his crew or, more likely, done by himself; Chrollo managed to Kill Hisoka. Upon resurrecting Hisoka realized that he'd never get his much sought after 1v1 and decided to take out the rest of the gang first to force Chrollo to do things on himself. But by that logic he would need to track down and kill every person whose ability Chrollo has stolen, and who isn't covered by the Nen Curse caveat the Meteor City Elder is.

I like Hisoka but no amount of being Togashi's favorite won't make him less of a sore loser.

Roughly 40 chapters earlier in an completely unrelated context to even be considered foreshadowing.

How is that relevant at all you utter moron? We knew they existed. That's all that matters.

Did you miss the part where the story takes place in a narco-nation and in north korea? Meruem talks about it pretty much as soon as he was born.

Keep posting smug faces, i'm sure it'll make up for your retardation.

Or maybe it's a trend that he's constantly written into his previous works or the mermaid chapters from Level-E?
