Gon shouldn't of been healed and stayed a crippled for life, he deserves it for killing best girl.

Gon's use of his Nen was totally fine on multiple levels.

>Under the right conditions nen can give great power with great restrictions

Gon paid a price and got a fuckton of power temporarily for it. It was also a great way to show how much Kite meant to him.

It also helped that Meruem wasn't actually defeated by Gon's powerup, which actually had fuckall to do with it. Gon got revenge, but didn't wrap up the entire arc by himself.

>Alluka

Yeah, the entire arc is a mess. They set up all these complex rules and regulations for the power to explain why this character hasn't been relevant before and hype up the cost that will potentially have to be paid, and then they give Killua the ability to ignore all of them so the arc resolves with no real tension beyond the phantom "But now Illumi will hunt Killua down" which we know means basically fucking nothing.

>O my rubber nen was fine.

I disagree. It was a very sloppy way to wrap up the fight. Would have been smarter to have Hisoka use his powers to feign his own death or something instead (e.g. binding his heart and lungs to silence them until he lost consciousness) instead.

Instead Hisoka gets a bullshit powerup after surviving a period of death that should have left him brain damaged if not completely impossible to resuscitate.

Chrollo only won because Hisoka wanted a challenge and left him months to prepare everything while going in like a cocky retard.

Chrollo won the fight, since Hisoka was pronounced "dead". But he ended up not being truly dead because Chrollo was careless. I'm beginning to think that you are autistic for real, I'm sorry I was rude to you if that's the case.

Chrollo killed him, though.

>>157486376
Hisoka was not merely pronounced "dead", he actually died. Hisoka even made his ability work only after his death. Simply put, Chrollo killed Hisoka and Hisoka was truly dead.

>>157486428
Togashi confirmed Hisoka lost. It was a deathmatch and Hisoka died.

>>157484100
Given how Zeno and Silva praised Chrollo back when he didn't have the bookmark, it isn't unreasonable to assume that Chrollo is stronger than Illumi now.

Same as Gon powerup, with exception being the length of time spent without oxygen and heart function. Then again Hisoka is more or less superhuman by real life standards even without nen, and David Blaine was able to hold his breath in an underwater tank for 17 minutes.

His heart was still pumping the oxygen remaining in his blood throughout his body. It actually takes a while to deplete even if you're not breathing.

Hisoka's heart was stopped, which meant there was ZERO circulation and no oxygen supplied whatsoever. He should be brain-damaged as shit, in addition to having infracted heart tissue (which cannot just be easily healed away).

It'll depend on whether Illumi could get a needle into Chrollo's head before Chrollo counters him with a Skill hunter ability. They probably have similar strength since they both have low enhancement affinity, but I'd wager Chrollo has more hand-to-hand experience, since he could hold his own against Hisoka, who is physically stronger with better enhancement.
With Kortopi and Shalnark's deaths he'd find it harder to counter Illumi's needlemen with equal numbers since order stamp only works with corpses and he can't create corpses with gallery fake anymore. If they fight in a crowded area then a likely scenario would be Chrollo using convert hands to bait Illumi into attacking and then using sun-and-moon to blow him up.

I'd wager on Chrollo winning.

Does anyone feel that the Nen shit is tacked on later? With the exam arc, there's absolutely no indication of Nen whatsoever.

It's crazy to think that Killua wouldn't know anything about Nen and had to learn it together with Gon after the Hunter Exam arc

How come Gon was the only one who traded his life for a short uber nen power up?

There were plenty of other hunters and fighters who had no chance whatsoever and they knew it. They would have died either way so why didn't they go for the tradeoff for nen power like Gon did?

Is Gon the only one able to accomplish this? Kiulla has something different but kind fo similar thing going on with his chains where he can't use them on others outside the ryodan

>>157500218
Because muh limitless potential. He actually had a resource to pull from, most people don't, especially grown hunters who had already reached their potential.

>>157503080
Genthru blew up people specifically to decrease the number of people to collect more cards. His methods were immoral but it broke no rules. That doesn't mean go goes off killing people left and right.

>>157484067
All three were ok in concept but didn't work because of some details in the execution:
>Rubber Nen
Nen staying active after death was established and made sense. The issue is that Hisoka died of asphyxia, which means that his brain was already dying before his heart stopped, and the Nen kicked in about 30 minutes after death, meaning that Hisoka's blood would have begun coagulating by the time his heart restarted.

>Gon-san
The logic behind the power up makes perfect sense in Nen rules, but Gon gained too much from it. Gon should have become powerful enough to barely kill a surprised/distracted Pitou, not enough to be a threat to Meruem.

>Alluka
This one actually has three issues, so it is the biggest asspull in the series:
Alluka is far too powerful and her existence was far too convenient. Having a wish machine in your basement is too convenient even if it is a shitty wish machine.
The whole season is used to set up the drawback of Alluka's power, and it was a drawback that could have been exploited somehow. Going with "Oh, Killua doesn't have to pay for his wishes" because Alluka loves him was disappointing.
Gon was healed without visible consequences. Yeah, he loses his Nen. The NEXT story arc.

>>157505936
Where did you get this timeframe of 30 minutes?
Judging by Hisoka's comment about the paramedics coming in 10 minutes which was at least a few minutes before the explosion and the newscaster mentioning that the explosion happened moments earlier, the streets were littered with ambulances, 30 minutes is a stretch.

You are taking Pitou's comment about Gon being a threat to the king to literally. Pitou treats anyone of considerable strength to be a threat to the King. The same applied to Netero.

What's this idea about it being to convenient. The way it's been explained and with the nature of Nanika's existence, it makes perfect sense as to why she was locked away due to the risk of the backlash could kill of the family.

And Killua being immune to the wishes isn't that much of a problem because we know Killua's character enough that he wouldn't abuse Nanika's wishes, even if his life were in danger. Plus, the full scope of Nanika's nature and abilities are going to be explored this arc.

And that stuff about Gon doesn't make any sense. How does he lose his nen the next arc? You just didn't see him attempt to use his nen when he woke. It gets revealed later that "returning to normal" means he reverts back to how he was at the beginning of the story.

He IS the problem you dipshit, his powers are just so fucking stupid that it breaks the whole power system Togashi has been building this whole time. The main character had to beat the ridiculously strong villain and suffered the consequences for that, but since he's still the main character he has to come back at some point, that's totally fine, but how does he come back?

>Hisoka
I thought the time was mentioned in the manga, but if it is not, I believe 30 minutes is still a fairly reasonable guess, given that he was buried under a mountain of corpses that the paramedics would have also needed to inspect. Moreover, If the paramedics took 10 minutes just to arrive, we can assume they took at least that long in taking his corpse back to where they were, but we can assume they took longer given that they would have had no hurry with Hisoka dead.

>Gon-San
But even being able to wipe the floor with Pitou was too much. Gon-san should have been just about strong enough to beat her due to fear/surprise factor. Maybe even only beating her with Killua's help. The issue is that even with the sacrifice attached, having a power boost that takes him from below-Knuckle tier to Netero-tier is too much for the setting.

>Alluka
There are a dozens of other reasons that could explain why he was locked up (or killed, since before the arc we only had clues that Killua had another sibling, not what happened to him/her). And having any kind of wish-granting device that was never mentioned before at hand is too convenient for most stories. Having a wish-granting device at hand that can be used for free by a mc is too convenient for almost any story. No wonder Killua is getting separated from Gon and both are getting kicked out of the current arc.

Nanika's nature wasn't explained in the arc or even hinted before. He might have his nature explained in the next arc, but that doesn't stop making him a convenient plot device when he showed up.

It is absurd to think that Gon wouldn't have tried to use his Nen to climb the tree or talked with Ging about it to notice it was missing. It is like if Togashi had decided not to draw Gon's hand during that chapter, keeping it obscured by other stuff, and then some chapters later we learned Gon no longer had a hand. It is the kind of think we would have expected to be referenced somehow if it happened.

Alluka is a metaphor for trangender issues, many from the family misgender the character and are ashamed of her existence except for Killua who truly understands her. They fear what they don't understand, Killua at one point tries to disregard the other side of her and Alluka is greatly upset at this because you have to love and respect every aspect about her. You can't just eliminate one half of who she truly is. Togashi is truly a genius.

Left isn't much of a issue. Right is a copout but it can't be helped. It will be a waste for gon to die for real. He still has a lot of development ahead of him.

>>157515631
>Hisoka
That would imply the paramedics even discovered Hisoka's body. If they did and if they spent all that time to obtain his body then it would be in their hands not the Troupe's. To find his body out of hundreds of corpses either charred or blown to bits is almost impossible given the fact that there is a giant hole in the stage when plenty might have fallen in. The newscaster probably just surmised that he has surely died from that explosion.

>Gon-San
Not really. There's already a precedent for this when Kurapika was able to go up against a Master Enhancer like Uvogin. Gon's distraught emotional state and total abandon to what happens to him is what made his sacrifice so potent. And don't forget that Wing stated that he and Killua have the potential of 1 out of 10 million people. Their talent has been brought to notice by several characters. To sacrifice all that for what amounted to a 10 minute power up with a horrible backlash is very appropriate for the sort of story Togashi is telling.

>Alluka
It usually depends on how it's used.

It makes sense for Gon to be brought back by Nanika's power. What he did to his body was abnormal, so it stands to reason that he be "restored" by something abnormal as well.

But I can understand your feeling about Nanika showing up as he did.

And as for Gon not using his nen to climb the tree, keep in mind that he is capable of superhuman feats before Nen was even introduced. Like how he caught that several hundred pound fish in the first chapter. Nen merely augments his abilities.

His state of mind at the time having just comeback from near-death might have not led into thinking to use nen, especially since he willing gave it all up in the first place.

>>157512325
Hey, at least she died. Nanika is still alive, the fun part is that if Togashi kills her HxH will become the worst shonen manga ever made, even worse than Fairy Tail, and if Togashi leaves her alive it will become a pretty mediocre shonen manga just like Bleach and Akame ga Kill. Tough choice.

Killing Nanika would literally be Naruto tier writing, even worse since at least Pain and the Rinnegan were brought up beforehand.

>well Gon is revived now what do I do with this character?

>well let's just kill it, nobody will notice
And Nanika own existence already destabilizes and collapses the whole setting of the series, the only realistic way to go now is to pretend Killua and Gon never existed and just focus on Kurapika sailing adventures.

Except Nanika's abilities are not that different from what's possible in Greed Island in the grand scheme of things. Plus there a whole hive of creature like Nanika in the DC so I don't see what killing Alluka would accomplish. It's merely a gateway to the world beyond, people should have already gotten a hint of that with the CA queen washing ashore.

>Nanika own existence already destabilizes and collapses the whole setting of the series
No, it doesn't. Some of you folks exaggerate shit to no end, you need to get a grip.
You can't just completely ignore that the world of HxH being filled with strange mystical creatures was established in the first arc.

>>157519676
>it's magic ain't gotta explain shit
Way to prove my point.

>>157518759
>KYS.
Kill yourself.

>>157519914
What point was that exactly?

Teleportation, extreme healing and exorcism are all abilities established in the series by different characters.

Nanika being able capable of all this is tied to it being a calamity from the DC which this arc is meant to explore. Are you being dim on purpose?

>>157519042
>And Nanika own existence already destabilizes and collapses the whole setting of the series
We just had an entire new continent that exists outside the scope of human society filled with things that seem to operate completely on their own rules. Unless you want to explain the Zombie Virus, Brion, and Ai entities with the only context being Nen?

It's clear that where we're going there are different rules that get adhered too and Alluka is undoubtably tied to them. It's also no surprise that after Zzycks Zoldyck traveled with Netero to the dark continent with Netero, somehow his family gave birth to a deviant like Alluka/Nanika

>>157520498
>Teleportation, extreme healing and exorcism are all abilities established in the series by different characters.
What does nen have any to do with what I said? Are you being stupid on purpose or what?
Nanika existence is a contradiction of everything Togashi have build up to now, and your only counterargument was that "inexplicable magic exists in HxH so whatever". It doesn't matter if they find out 58793571 different kind of calamities, they make no sense in the scheme of nen that many of you claim as the best written thing ever made by humankind.

I hate how everything just works out for gon, like he never learns his lesson about being stupid because something always saves him

why didn't hisoka O MY RUBBER NEN a new arm during the kastro fight?

>>157522869
For a second I thought that this time he would think about the consequences of his actions, but nope, nobody died and he just got a " B U T D O N T D O I T A G A I N teehee~" again.

Gee, maybe it's because it remains to be the central power system in this series and I have no reason to believe that Nanika doesn't use nen without proper evidence, dipshit

>Nanika existence is a contradiction of everything Togashi have build up to now
Yet again, no it hasn't. I don't even think you know what the word contradiction means.

>inexplicable magic exists in HxH so whatever"
You mean Nen? God, you're dumb.

> It doesn't matter if they find out 58793571 different kind of calamities, they make no sense in the scheme of nen that many of you claim as the best written thing ever made by humankind.
What the hell are you talking about? How does a calamity not make sense "in the scheme of nen" or whatever the fuck this is supposed to mean? Please, save yourself the embarrassment and stop while you're still behind.

Couldn't a strong hunter have a lot of kids and raise them all fucked up then give them the idea to do what Gon did and basically have a small arsenal of gonsan bombs he could used to kill anyone he wanted?

>>157526897
Gon is suppose to be the grandson of Jesus Christ and Santa Claus. In HxH effort means shit, you have to be born special.

>>157526897
Depends, if Gon acquired his talent during childhood, maybe. If he had it since birth as some theories say (as he "lost" it after asspull heal) then no.
You could perhaps raise them to have a powerful combination of abilities that are almost unbeatable together. It sounds like a pain though, you might get like 5 kids to the point where they can do the water test and turns out they're all enhancers.

>>157498786
I re-watched the exam arc the other day and it's pretty funny how Netero supposedly doesn't know immediately that Gon is Ging's spawn nor recognise Killua as related to Zeno.

Gon-san is also fine.

Gon has incredible determination and willpower. He is also incredibly talented and has a lot of potential.

He was willing to sacrifice all of his aura just to kill one individual, it makes sense.

O my rubber makes some sense, but what's horseshit about it is that bungee gum is a very vague ability that can do anything Togashi wants it to do to take Hisoka out of any situation. That and the ability has no notable restriction.

I have yet to find a reason why Alluka's power is not incredibly lame.

>>157527394
I meant when he was playing that ball game with Gon and Killua and analysing how quick they were and such but still supposedly wasn't able to put two and two together. Netero was pretending to be retarded.

>>157526997
Isn't Netero supposed to be an example of effort pays off? He did decades worth of training years before he became a hunter. I always assumed his ability is the culmination of his pray/punch exercise. Sure he is probably very talented, but he couldn't have made an ability like that on talent only.

Chrollo would have 100% succeeded in killing Hisoka permanently if, in his attempt to out style him, didn't blabbed about how Sun and Moon worked hinting at the whole "nen becoming strong after death" thing. If he didn't said that, there would have been no Hisoka, no "Oh rubber nen" last ditch gambit and no offpaneled Kortopi and Sharkboy.

Chrollo won the match but costed him severe consequences by being over confident. All that will transpire to the spiders is completely Chrollo's fault. Hell, he knew about the after death nen shit. He should have blown up Hisoka until he was nothing but red jelly, Even if he doesn't understand how that shit fully worked, he would have known not to take chances.
100% preparation indeed. What a fucking dumbass.

I dunno why anyone would waste time on this generic shounen garbage, honestly

>>157528981
I think Alluka was more of a way to introduce another DC creature into the story.

It wasn't handled in the best way, though.

What if Killua's wishes are just put on hold? Could it just be holding it back, and as soon as it doesn't like him anymore just release all that shit at once?

>>157529521
I hated the Chimera Ant Arc.
Angry Gon felt more embarrassing than anything. It was stupid, honestly.

HxH was at it's best when it was more light hearted with a darker theme in the background. Like when Gon and Killua traveled together trying to make money, or went through all that crazy shit during the Yorknew City crazy shit. When Killua is the edgy fucker and Gon is the more lighthearted one is when the series was top tier.

idk why people hate Killua

the fact that he was an edgelord felt natural; he's a little kid raised in a edgy family. Also he knew when he was outmatched and never tried to intimidate dangerous folk like Nobunaga

>>157530888
The only one who didn't really get much character was Kortopi

>>157530989

I know most of you are only in high school or whatever, but I find myself constantly shocked at how much of the Chimera Ant Arc was lost on the HxH fanbase.

I admit, that when it was unfolding I was lost on some things and thought some of it was stupid, but that was strictly a first reaction to just not getting it in the first hours after reading it.

By now, it should be pretty clear what all went down and why it all made perfect sense both from a narrative and thematic standpoint. How can people still not be getting it?

>>157542468
>How can people still not be getting it?
Either animeonly, speedreaders, or people who are memeing.

You see how many times it had to be pointed out itt that Nanika is an Ai from the DC this thread and posters still kept saying she breaks the rules?

That's the kind of retardation we are dealing with.

>>157542468

>>157531504
What are the names for A, N, and D in Greed Island?

>>157542468
I re-read the whole arc three times from start to finish because I wanted to see if I really enjoyed it or if I was following the trend..

There are so many things that you find that you wouldn't pick up on the first time reading it. The parallels between Gon and Meruem, the symbolism behind the Poor Man's Rose, the fact that the Ants, contrary to their nature, were less cohesive than the humans attacking them. I've only come to appreciate more and more the amount of time and thought Togashi put into this.

That won't stop all the idiots from braying on and on about asspulls and the like. Same goes for people like >>157543191 who had nearly everything about the arc fly over their little heads.

It's a sad day, gents.

>>157543712
>My problem is that it dragged on for too damn long

That was because of the hiatuses, not so much because of the actual length of the arc.

>>157543770

I thought he was placing the Chimera Ant arc and the Chairman Election arc all in one because one is just the aftermath of the other and most of this thread is centered around those 2 arcs

>>157544590

Kite was revived like Meruem

>>157544675
She killed herself, but Pitou got to her before it was too late and brought her back, then experimented on her.

>>157544590
It's not so much that Kite comes back that doesn't make sense to me. That was just the nature of how the Chimera Ants worked with the whole absorbing the genetic abilities/memory of their prey.

What I didn't get was how Kite was reborn as an Ant if he wasn't fed to the queen. Didn't Pitou keep his body for training purposes or whatever?

>>157544844
O MY CRAZY SLOTS

>>157544880
>O MY CRAZY SLOTS
Fuck you this made me laugh.

I hope Kite is on the boat.

>>157544590
The point of Gon's part of the arc was to see to what extremes he would go after seeing a dear friend die due to his actions.

If you remember Greed Island and how he sacrificed both his arms because his pride was slighted, something that he didn't need to do at all, it puts everything about Gon's mentality into perspective. The audience already knew and Pitou already made clear that Kite at that point wouldn't come back so what Gon did was, in all, completely meaningless. But he still went ahead and brutally murdered Pitou anyway as an outlet for all his malice towards her and himself for letting Kite get killed.

Kite coming back next arc doesn't really change anything.

>>157544774
every doesn't have to be about parallels, parallels doesn't equal good writing and Meruem died in the end, with a pretty well written death btw, just like Kite's would've been if he hadn't been brought back to life

and btw wouldn't that parallelism have made more sense if it was between Meruem and Gon since they both got heavily injured, managed to survive but still paid the consequences? (Gon lost his nen and Meruem died because of the poison)

>>157545152
*every thing

>>157545091
I think his point was that it while, yes, kite's death was ultimately more of a plot device to illustrate a point about Gon and about the capabilities of nen, it still somewhat diminishes the narrative impact of Kite's death as a beloved character and somewhat undermines the growth Gon underwent experiencing that loss and having to concede that he overreacted to it by bringing him back to life.

>>157545256
I don't feel that it undermined what Gon went through. Even after learning that Kite came back, he still felt the need to apologize to him. The guilt he felt for leaving Kite to die still weighed on his mind after all that's happened and he showed acknowledgement of the sort of extreme he committed to.

And now after reaching his goal and losing his nen, I feel that this is a chance to develop Gon even more.

Who is the first?

>>157542468
I think you missed the point. That's the problem with the Chimera ant arc, it's so in your face and treated with such gravitas that A it forgets it's a manga for 12-year-old boys and B gets on some overdrawn soap box speech about the nature of humanity. Subjectively speaking, I hate most of the designs and character arcs for the ants Meureum and Komugi included. I found them to be really prosaic, and honestly, it gave me diabetes. Also, I know a lot of people will disagree about this, but I think the rapid shift in levels of power was a cheap trick to make an otherwise boring arc engaging at the cost of cheapening the intrigue behind a lot of characters. After all, most of the characters in H X H are only interesting because of how strong we think they are

>>157547557
Gon

>>157547557
Killua.

For most of the story he's a satellite to Gon or falling back on family melodrama. And his relationship with Alluka was shoehorned and killed consistency.

>>157547682
>Meureum
people unironically like diet-Cell

>>157547180
naw I still like it being pariston but either could work

>>157547801
Yeah, I'm not one of them. I much prefered the phantom Troupe as the main bad guys, because they didn't rely on exposition backstory dumps and overwhelming power to seem cool. Instead, the Phantom Troupe features unique abilities and a legitimate aura of mystery about their purpose and origin while still being legitimate threats which I feel is much more in the spirit of the series. The only Ants that remotely interested me were Pouf and Youpi.

>>157548043
>expository backstory dumps
You literally follow Meruem from birth, what the fuck are you talking about?

>>157548161
I meant the fodder ants. My problem with Meureum has to do with his character arc and Komugi who is a the most 1 dimensional angel character I've ever seen

Same here. How come no one notices he's just like Cell? A complete rip-off.

>>157484067
O My Rubber Nen was less bullshit than Gon-san. Gon-san was less bullshit than Hisoka's hand exploding. His hand exploding was less bullshit than Alluka. Alluka was less bullshit than Nanika allowing Killua to break the rules. That's less bullshit than the Dark Continent actually existing.

Where you draw the line is up to you, but I personally draw it between Alluka and Nanika.

Kurapika. Other than his androgyny he's too boring a character for HxH

>>157548563
I'd bring up that his design choice is entirely intentional but what good would that do.

Some people refuse to pay any attention

>>157548745
christ stop getting so butthurt

its understood that DB is an influence for many

>>157548745
So? It's still a lazy copy.

the entire concept of nen is bullshit

togashi wanted to write a power like nen because it's an ability that can literally do anything depending on the user and how it's used. nen makes togashi's life easier because then he can write anything and explain it away with nen.

It's a lazy, bullshit skill system.

>>157548834
Duh
>>157548862
So no argument

>>157548886
Please write me a nen ability that makes the user completely immortal and immune to any sort of damage whatsoever, with valid conditions and drawbacks.

>>157548681
Nothing. The character himself explains what happened. What kills me about that fight is that Hisoka >>157548696
Owas basically giving his own running commentary of every move. There should be nothing that confuses anybody in that fight by the end of it.

>>157547682
I could not disagree more. I mean, say what you will about it being too heavy for it's target demographic, but that doesn't mean it fails to execute at what it set out to do.

I think it did a fantastic job examining the human condition, the strengths & weaknesses of a man, the successes and failures of humanity, etc. And the power levels really don't shift all that heavily so much as expose us to the lower levels of the HxH upper tier (the current arc is the mid/upper levels of the upper tier).

It doesn't sound like you misunderstood the arc by any means, but it definitely sounds like you're judging it based on criteria you've imposed upon standards that it never claimed to abide by. I think you need to take it for what it is because Togashi was, in fact, being quite ambitious in the themes he was exploring and really stepping beyond the realm of a typical shonen. I don't think you can judge it as a shonen.

>>157549017
>the user just has really, really, REALLY good focus and will!

>>157548994
>So no argument
I should be the one saying so. I could copy every naruto design to a western and call it a "reference", it's still lazy.
It would be fine if they were actually close in personality or there was a valid reason to completely copy Cell, but that's not the case.

>>157549104

hisoka is such an emotional character after all

>>157548886
I wouldnt say its "bullshit" (well, besides edgy nonsense like Kurapika's Hot Topic chains) but its pretty much just YYH's spirit energy w/ restrictions

>>157549119
Meruem is literally nothing like Cell aside from similar design and abilities. He's meant represent the pinnacle of evolution by being a as close to a perfect being as possible. People are meant to think of Cell and his motif.

Again, his design choice is intentional.

>>157549428
>literally nothing like Cell
>except for his looks, powers, and theme
hence, Chinese Cell

>>157549315
This is my contention for the rubber nen ressurection. He basically tries something out last minute and his character is too carefree and whimsical to be believable. Someone made a good argument that he could do it because he's determined to get Chrollo, and the entire arc he spent orchestrating his "fight" in York Shin is proof, but that remaims to be seen.

>>157549104
So you have no argument?

>>157548563
Even the part where Cell nearly dies from an explosion and becomes even stronger after healing was ripped off as well

>>157549428
I said half of that and the rest wasn't even part o the discussion. Did you lose your fidget spinner?

>>157549491
Making a reference is somehow immediately a "rip-off". They are completely different characters.

>>157549775
Not at all. My arguments are about the same as yours, but you're projecting so hard you fail to notice even that.

Jesus. I hate the 2011 anime. Not because it's bad (it's way better than 99) but just because it brought a bunch of /v/ and reddit tards to the fandom. If you think any of the following

>there's no way chrollo cheated
>meruem is basically cell
>yorkshin (or any other arc) > CA

Feel free to go back to wherever you came from.

>>157549642
you can reference something and lift a character wholesale at the same time

no one is saying he wasnt influenced by DBZ and wanted to use that character in a different scenario; lots of authors do this. Its that the character is so similar, and yet not as impactfyl, that it comes across as a bootleg version you'd see sold at the toy section in a flea market

>>157550019
Nice, subtle bait.

>>157548886
>it's an ability that can literally do anything depending on the user and how it's used

It can't though. That is one of the big points of the Chimera Ant Arc; to start outlining the upper limits of Nen.

What Gon did in turning into Gon-san was EXTREMELY rare and basically inimitable. Remember, nen is a manifestation of will. It's affected by emotional state, training, and willpower. The more powerful the ability, the more of those three you'll need. The nen contract Gon sealed was made possible by an emotional state that was, frankly, only possible by losing his mind. To have the kind of resolve to say "I would give anything and everything to have the power to beat this one person" and TRULY mean it to your very core is not something you can do flippantly.

I'll give you an example. I have two daughters, 5 and 2. And I can say right now with absolute certainty that I'd kill someone that hurt them. But the way I feel when I say that now sitting casually at my computer absolutely pales in comparison to the intensity with which I felt it when I saw a stranger scream in my oldest's face. I felt rage. Pure rage. I saw red. I wanted to kill him on the spot. Just for yelling in my daughter's face and scaring her like that. It was shocking to me because I'd never been that angry in my life.

You can't get into those kind of mental states lightly. It takes something extreme that you can't force. And here's the REAL kicker. Gon, by his nature, feels those kind of extreme ends of the emotional spectrum with an intensity that dwarfs normal, rational people. He's special. He is steadfast in his beliefs and his feelings to a degree that is a powerful asset, but potentially extremely dangerous if you cross him. Kite's death hit all the right buttons to send someone like that truly off the deep end. That's the only reason it was possible. And even then, he hadn't obtained omnipotent power or anything.

Nen absolutely has limits. You just don't get it.

O

>>157550318
MY

>>157550020
On the surface level, maybe.

But I can make the distinction because Cell himself is nothing special. His personality is the stock cocky "I'm better you" type of villian. Literally no staying power whatsoever aside from giving us SSJ2 Gohan.

>>157484518
>Yeah, the entire arc is a mess
I disagree. Everything match perfectly because the rules of Alluka's power are based on the ancestral theme of "be careful with what you wish".

>>157502809
Nen is one of the best things of HxH, though.

>>157550345
RUBBER

>>157505936
Alluka is one of the best things of HxH because it explains how love works and why Killua left his family in the first arc. Killua was in love with Alluka, and when his family locked Alluka in the basement, Killlua scaped and found Gon, that's to say, a person very similar to Alluka.

Now, about Killua not paying for the wishes because Alluka loves him... it's not bullshit! That's how works in real life. Everyone ask for a retribution when you do something that implies time and work... except for people you love.

And Gon didn't lose his Nen because of Alluka, he lose his Nen because he lose the fire of his will, that's to say, find Ging. He needs a new objective to activate his Nen again.

>>157516035
I love Alluka, but I don't think is a metaphor of that exactly. That thing of eliminate one half of who we truly are applies to everyone, not just transgenders. That's how love works.

>>157551672
Are you sure? Alluka is canonically male but uses 'atashi' to refer to herself.

>>157550098
Best post in this thread.

>>157516035
I think Nanika is a great character as well. Now that it's confirmed that it's an Ai, desire of co-dependence, it's beautiful to see that it finally found a host who accepts it: while humans think of calamities as bringers of despair that everyone must avoid at all cost, you have one child, symbol of purity accepting it. I'm pretty sure it must be the first time that an Ai has had a passive host, and I feel like it was a good idea as a continuity of the CA arc where we've had the connexion of two different species as well (Meruem and Komugi). It's an attempt at saying that some calamities may be sentient and they don't have to fight'em.

hisoka probably emptied his bowels when he died

>>157550098
well said

>>157544590
Kite, like Gyro, didn't die because he still wanted to live.

>>157550098
>Gon, by his nature, feels those kind of extreme ends of the emotional spectrum with an intensity that dwarfs normal, rational people
And the kicker is that this has been a thing since the hunter's exam. Remember when Hanzo broke his arm and Gon just didn't care because he'd already moved on, and later broke Illumi's arm just because Killua had been emotionally hurt? He's always had a warped sense of morality.

Gon has always been the logical outcome of the mindset that most shounen protagonists showcase. Except without the whimsy or justifications given to him.
