/a/ - Animu & Mango

>>786974

And I like more chapters of HxH.

Any word on how long he's going to be able to go before stopping this time?

>>786995

Six chapters over seventeen weeks. And then he croaks.

I really hope he's just canceled now. Magazines can't bear the burden of such authors anymore, the newer audiences aren't that invested in his work and want fast-paced stuff. His older audience is vanishing too.

Really, if he wanted revenge for YYH, now I just hope he gets burned again and die from sorrow.

Quick, invent your nen and give me (you)'s

Have a bump.

>>787058

Fuck that, the story is still good, I'll start hoping he gets canned if things get bad but he's still delivering. It does sucks he's doing it at a rate of one chapter every time he feels like though.

>>787060

I always think about how someone with really poor nen would do manageable vows and limitations. I think most nen users in HxH's world are fairly weak, with low amounts of nen, based on what we hear about nen users. We just see the cream of the crop in the mango, people who both have very high amounts of nen and are wiling to deal with crippling limitations to get stronger effects.

The average Joe hunter who's just killing low to medium tier monsters in the boonies for cash can probably just do things like shoot some piercing nen beams and the limitation is just that he won't use it against a human being or something.

>>787089

The way I see it, your shit won't get stronger unless you're the one getting fucked a little bit.

>>787058

Why does it matter if the publishers hate it and his fans are dropping? I don't care about any of that, as long as he keeps delivering eventually. What even is the benefit of him getting cancelled? There is no benefit, you're just being spiteful.

>>787105

>Why does it matter if the publishers hate it and his fans are dropping?

The obvious lack of profit.

>I don't care about any of that, as long as he keeps delivering eventually.

Well, okay.

>What even is the benefit of him getting cancelled?

To end this behaviour, he's doing that on purpose, just like Miura. These "too big to get fired" types need to burn.

>There is no benefit, you're just being spiteful.

There are benefits. The magazine could afford to hire more, if not several more authors instead of him, or just keep some deserving series running longer and finishing properly instead of getting axed like crazy.

And yes, I'm being spiteful, but that's not the whole picture.

>>787076

Wing mentioned that Zushi had one-in-ten-thousand talent among nen users, and Gon and Killua were more like one-in-a-million. Given the relatively small number of Hunters, it's safe to say the vast majority of nen users aren't even good enough to pass the Hunter Exam. When Netero and everyone said it was very unlikely for "rookies" to pass the Exam, what they probably meant was "people who don't know nen".

Anyway, back years ago when the CA arc was still on hiatus, thus before Leorio's nen powers were revealed, I invented one for him based completely around his bargaining skills.

Name: Let's Make a (Nen) Deal

Classification: Manipulation

Activation: The condition for activation is either:

1) The user makes physical contact with the opponent and says "Let's Make a Deal!"

2) Asks the opponent if he would like to make a deal (this would even work over a phone) involving nen, and the opponent agrees to it.

Use: Both parties are immediately transported to an isolated nen-space that resembles a small room, which contains only a green-felted poker table and two chairs, called the "Bargaining Room". The light is dim, there is a slight haze from cigar smoke, and soft jazz plays in the background. While inside the "Bargaining Room" both parties are in zetsu state (unable to use nen) and all weapons on their person disappear. In theory, they could still fist-fight, but that isn't the point. The user must completely explain how his ability works.

In order to leave the "Bargaining Room", the user and the opponent must make a "deal", involving temporarily shutting off one or more facets of their total nen ability. While anything imaginable involving nen can be laid down as part of the "deal", some common elements would be:

1) Nen classes, such as one's use of Manipulation, Reinforcement, Emission, etc.

2) Nen abilities such as En, Shu, Gyo, etc.

3) Hatsu techniques, in whole or in part.

The "deal" may involve any number of nen elements, and they do not have to be of equal importance or even exist (example: a hatsu class you don't use) but each party must sacrifice at least one. Sealing the deal is done by both parties agreeing and then shaking hands, at which point they are transported back to normal space. The agreed-upon nen abilities will remain shut off and inaccessible for a period of 24 hours, or until one or the other is defeated (killed, knocked unconscious, or surrenders) at which point abilities automatically revert to normal for both. Note: If no agreement can be made after a period of one hour inside the "Bargaining Room", both parties are transported back but will remain in total zetsu state for 24 hours.

An example of a simple deal between Gon and Hisoka would be: Gon sacrifices Emission, Hisoka sacrifices Shu. For the duration of the battle, Gon would be unable to use the "Paper" element of his Jajanken, while Hisoka would be unable to strengthen his playing cards (or anything else, for that matter) with nen to make them sharp.

Strategy: It is very important to have information on the opponent's abilities before attempting this hatsu, so as to be able to get the most out of it. Information can be gathered and revealed simply by what each party offers or refuses. For example, if the user proposes that Kurapika sacrifice Materialization, and Kurapika flat-out refuses, it would imply that Kurapika has a Materialization ability. The user is under no condition to offer anything useful, however, as mentioned before. If Gon sacrificed Materialization, on the other hand, he would lose nothing because his hatsu doesn't use it at all.

A simple advantage can be gained by the user if he has any team-mates, by refusing to make any deals, and emerging after one hour with both he and his opponent in zetsu state, whereupon his friends would have an easy time beating the opponent. However, he must be careful, because this could backfire if the opponent also has allies.

Did Chrollo lose all the powers he had collected prior to Kurapika's schtick? Could he not use Neon's fortune-telling to get more info on Hisoka et al? Or is there something else I'm forgetting?

>>788628

Chrollo presumably got Kurapika's nen removed at some point recently, since he was able to use the book when fighting Hisoka.

The predictions from the fortune-telling just give poetic descriptions of what will happen to a person during the coming month. It doesn't provide any specific information.

Is it me or Nen is really fucking gay?

>i will penetrate you

>its like something warm and slimy touching me

>you can use your will to harden your body

>take off your shirt and turn your back to me so I can open your special holes

>>789679

This despite being demonstrably heterosexual himself.

>>791427

I don't know about that. You have to be a complete faggot to enjoy idolshit the way he does.

>>791523

I think you're getting your lazy mangaka who live on passive income mixed.

>>791427

He's probably basically Hisoka in real life. Wouldn't hesitate to marry Machi if given the chance, but would still be off fucking every man (or boy...) that catches his interest.

Do you know where might be the Viz anon?

So Camillas Nen ability is very powerful but also has a huge restriction on it.

its a counter attack type that can bring her to life by taking the life of anyone who kills her

>>792199

Basically she's helpless so long as nobody actually causes her physical harm. That said, we don't know what her Nen beast's ability is, or even what it looks like. I have to say, this thing where some of the princes have both a personal hatsu AND the nen beast was not something I was expecting at the start of all this.

Benjamin's ability is even more OP. Doesn't need to "borrow" techniques, no; he just outright GETS THEM if one of his underlings dies. It's definitely setting him up to be the major antagonist of this arc.

>>792240

>It's definitely setting him up to be the major antagonist of this arc.

He's been made very sympathetic very quickly, so I almost hope not. Outside of Tserriednich, who is such a cool character, Benjamin and his guards have interesting personalities too. The major antagonist may end up being their dad. He's guarding 14 "coffins", which means he's expecting for ALL his children to die, and it looks like the coffins feed into a main chamber. I hope it's not a cliche where he's planning on extending his own life or something like that, but it's definitely mysterious.

>>792486

>All I know is that I want more Leorio.

I don't know if Leorio would mesh well with this sort of espionage/political subtlety that's going on now. He'd be in way over his head, and he already had his moment of glory in the New Chairman Election arc.

>>792486

Of course there's a lot of big restrictions, but those are all placed upon others. They are loyal; they graduated from the Academy; they are the ones who die. Benjamin, himself, doesn't seem to have any risk to himself with this. The huge caveat, of course, is that he can't pick his own ability. He just gets whatever his underlings have; the pledge/condition for this might be that he literally cannot have any hatsu other than those gained from them.

>>792495

There's a lot of other shit going on for Leorio to be involved in. The whole of the Zodiacs and whatever the fuck Beyond are up to aren't related at all to the Hoicoro succession war. Of course, the whole of the Ryodan and whatever the fuck Hisoka is up to are something completely unrelated, too.

Basically, there's three huge plotlines (at least) going on at the same time in different parts of the ship. It would be reasonable to assume that they'll all intersect at some point. BUT, with the way Togashi does things, it would be expected for us to suddenly leave Kurapika and the Princes behind at any time, to focus on Leorio and the Zodiacs for a couple dozen chapters (which in real time likely will be several years). Of course, when this happens the entire tone and theme of the arc will probably switch around as well.

Hell, Togashi might just jump right off the fucking boat and go back to Gon or Killua/Alluka for a while. Maybe they'll end up on the boat or in the DC at some point, as well; who the fuck knows? All we know is that it will take a VERY long time. Togashi-speed is a level of magnitude slower than glacial-speed. In fact, by the time the DC arc ends, it's a good deal possible that all the glaciers in the world will have melted away.

>>792513

>Of course there's a lot of big restrictions, but those are all placed upon others.

Think about it like this: there are billions of people in the world and Benjamin can only get powers from a handful of them, very specific people who went through a filter beforehand, and they have to die. It's very limiting, even though the people it's limited to are powerful. It's similar to how Kurapika's strongest ability is limited to spiders only. It's a power he can only currently use on 9 different people (if I counted it right).

>jump right off the fucking boat and go back to Gon or Killua/Alluka for a while.

I bet every fucking character is in that boat. Gon, Killua, Aluuka, other Zoldyck, Knuckle, named characters who did not do anything when they showed up for a single panel in a chapter in 1999... Just like how nen was a really good idea to make any type of power that he wanted and still make them interesting, this boat setup is perfect to make any character needed for the story show up and not feel like a complete asspull, since he can come up with a million different reasons someone would want or need to be in the boat.

>extremely strong ability that makes the user effectively immortal

>guarantees an instant kill

>self-strengthened by being post-mortem yet still being able to use repeatedly

>nullified by doing literally nothing

This is why I love this series

I really enjoy how all the "nen-less" guards are more than just cannon fodder.

Well, at least under these circumstances.

I'm hyped for seeing this Predator nen in action but I get the feeling the guy is just going to get trashed by the most simple pew pew nen there is

I just realized, how come the bald sound girl realized a change in Kacho's heartbeat but didn't hear a hatch opening in the bed, or Kacho's sister's heartbeat?

>>795904

Don't let Togashi read this, lest we have another decade long hiatus on our hand.

>>795818

There is a massive condition: she has to die before the ability will activate. Thing is, the way it works is that it takes the lifeforce from SPECIFICALLY the person who killed her, in order to revive her. Want her permanently dead? Simple. Send two people. Person A kills her, and then Person B immediately kills Person A before the nen ability can fully activate. Alternately, Person A can immediately kill himself. Either way, now the cat cannot take his lifeforce, so Camilla stays dead.

Really, it's a huge drawback.

>>795904

There's no reason a hatch on a passageway made of nen has to make any sort of sound. As for her heartbeat? Dunno. Maybe she wasn't actually there, but was just some kind of astral projection. Maybe the condition of the ability is that only one person can see/hear/sense her. There's probably some good reason; Togashi isn't that stupid.

>>796024

It's only a huge drawback if someone knows about it and if it instakills everyone, under the right conditions nobody can find it out. The only reason it currently doesn't seem as good as it is is because of the setting. For example, if it indeed was a guaranteed kill, Camilla could solo the entire royal guard and Meruem, assuming Pouf or Pitou don't take her alive.

Another thing is, as I said, the owl guy clearly had time to react to the cat, but for example, Netero's attacks were too fast for even Meruem to react to. If we put the two together, Netero could smash the cat with bodhisattva before it could do anything and the cat would need some way to avoid that, since it clearly uses brute force to kill the target.

>>796100

>if it indeed was a guaranteed kill, Camilla could solo the entire royal guard and Meruem

Well, a power that would be a guaranteed kill for basically the whole planet's population might not be one for Netero or Meruem. If your attack will kill every single person you could find, I think it's acceptable to call it a guaranteed kill to scare people (even if it's not necessarily true).

This is nen we're talking about, I'm sure the stronger nen users could come up with a million different ways to kill Camilla and survive that cat if they knew how it worked. The one with the sharpest nen wins, that's what the succession war is after all.

>>796100

Clearly Benjamin and his guards knew about her ability, because they didn't attack her and instead restrained her in a cell. As I said before, it loses its effectiveness when she's against more than one person.

As for Netero, I doubt it matters. Nen constructs are not like JJBA Stands; attacking one doesn't do a damn thing, much less cause any damage to the user. Probably, a strike from Kannon would just go right through it or bounce off, and have no effect. Remember how desperately Yupi bashed at Knuckle's Potclean, to no avail?

>>796136

>Remember how desperately Yupi bashed at Knuckle's Potclean, to no avail?

I believe that was a feature of Knuckle's stand, since Potclean was at best useless, and at worse told the opponent how bad things were for him. Since this cat actually fights I think he'd be more comparable to Netero's Buddha, or the gorillas that guy who played dodgeball made. Honestly there's no way of knowing how that cat works unless they show or tell us. It depends on a million different factors Togashi could come up with.

>>796192

It's not "fighting" though. It only serves as the intermediary to fulfill the condition. If someone kills Camilla, then it kills them and uses their lifeforce to revive her. This isn't a fight because there are no variables, nothing that can change; it's only a powerful if->then function.

Really, it's just getting caught up in how it looks. Its appearance and size are irrelevant; Conjured nen objects are merely symbols, not real things. If the cat were huge or if it were small makes no difference as to how it works or how "powerful" it is, which only depends on the condition. It's like Kurapika's Chain Jail. Because of the condition and pledge, it will bind any member of the Ryodan and force them into zetsu state. Despite being unbelievably physically strong, even Uvo couldn't break it. The fact that it appears to be a chain doesn't mean it's actually physically binding them. It is not the chain, itself, that is the strength that restrains them; it's merely a symbol that reflects Kurapika's heart. In effect, Kurapika was not conjuring a powerful chain, but conjuring a power that looks like a chain. That's a fundamental difference.

To whit, Netero isn't a Conjurer. He's of Reinforcement just like Gon. Although it's never fully explained, it seems as if Kannon is a reflection of his own punches, in effect amplifying and teleporting them across space, rather than being something fighting on his behalf using on his spiritual power. That's why he has to pose to use it, and why its speed is tied directly to his own physical speed.

We are only 2 days into a 2 month long journey. We are never gonna see the dark contient.

>>796270

Ok but, so what? Nothing you said conflicts with anything I said.

That doesn't mean there isn't a possibility someone couldn't use a nen attack to blast that cat out of existence. we've seen nen being used to influence nen before. Unless the power really is just killing someone and taking their life to revive Camilla and there's nothing anyone can do about it (and that could very well be the case). But we don't know that, for all we know the power could fail if a powerful enough fighter killed Camilla and then "killed" the cat, or killed Camilla and ran away or something.

About the chain thing, it being a chain was pretty important for his ability to be as strong as he wanted it to be, I believe. Otherwise what was the point of sleeping with chains, smelling chains, licking chains and obsessing about chains like he did so he could specifically conjure chains? The user's mental state is pretty important for nen to work well, if you wanted to develop a binding power but then chose a stupid symbol for it that is completely unrelated to binding I think that would gimp the ability.

And I know Netero isn't a conjurer, but the kannon didn't look like a pure enhancement type hatsu. There was more going on, either conjuring or emitting (do any of the databooks talk about his hatsu?). It doesn't matter what the person's affinity is as long as they have enough aura to do what they want to do, are talented enough, and practice enough. Netero hits all these 3 points and also reached enlightenment. It would be stupid for beginners, average people, and even most well trained nen masters to try to develop things wildly outside their affinity, but there are ways to escape those restraints that we've seen.

>>796278

>for all we know the power could fail if a powerful enough fighter killed Camilla and then "killed" the cat, or killed Camilla and ran away or something

It's possible there could be a way to counter this kind of nen, but this makes it seem too much like it only depends on the person's "power level". Like someone strong enough could just nullify the nen outright, which isn't at all how the series works.

As for Netero, I haven't seen the databooks. The wikis tend to say it could be an emission ability, but that's just based on looking at it. I suppose it might be, but that just seems odd because as a user of reinforcement, Netero could only get up to 80% efficiency on an emission attack. It just doesn't seem possible he could have that level of power doing something like that.

New chapter is out and it seems to be dumping info on several of the nen beasts now so we have some clue to what they can do.

It seems that Halkenburg has gotten a very powerful nen beast ability seeing as how the power of each individual with the same will as halkenburg has their nen power increased several times over, they literally go from average to top tier

>>798042

From the description of his ability, it seems possible that the guardian beasts might be able to subconsciously combine their own nen abilities with the nen abilities of the owner.

>>798166

Does that Camilla can combine the cat with her beast and just puppet someone into killing her and committing suicide-by-cat? Because that shit would immediately override the one glaring weakness of the cat.

I want Bisky to crush me. She has the perfect female body.

>>798902

It's weird. I always assumed her shapeshifting was the result of some nen ability to make herself tiny and cute out of pure will; basically using her manipulation ability on her own body. But from her description, it seems as if it happened on its own just because she prayed for it? Nen doesn't really work like that, or so it seemed before. Maybe she's just bullshitting the guy, but it's a bizarre way to begin a lesson on nen by lying about it.

>>799026

>Nen doesn't really work like that

Why not?

She spent years, maybe decades thinking about the cute form she wanted to achieve. Her nen affinity is transmutation and she practiced nen every day, and eventually it happened, she transmuted herself.

Going back to how Kurapika developed his technique, the first thing he did was spend a long time getting intimate knowledge of chains. Isn't what she did similar in a way? Obsessing about something? Doesn't seem weird or farfetched to me. I said it before in the thread: nen was a stroke of genius from Togashi. He can make a lot of different powers and different scenarios and they all work within the ruleset he came up with.

>>799039

If her nen ability was what caused the transformation, she wouldn't profess to have no idea how it happens. She would know EXACTLY how it happens. Nen is laid out as a rigorously-defined system of rules, not some magic unknown thing that nobody understands where things happen for no good reason.

>>799416

Remember Neon's ability? She also has no idea how she got it, but she still had control over it.

>>799419

That was stated to be a different case than most, something that only happens to people ignorant of nen who nonetheless have a "genius". Also, "control" is a bit much. She was able to activate it at will, but then its function was completely automatic from there; she wasn't even conscious while the fortune was being written.

>>799601

>only happens to people ignorant of nen

Did they ever mention that? They talk about geniuses who end up using nen without even realizing, like Neon and Komugi, but why wouldn't that happen to a nen master too?

Like I said, Biscuit spent a stupid amount of time thinking something along the lines of "I want to be cute", or maybe even thinking specifically about the body type she wanted. She also did aura training during that period. The training she made Gon and Killua do in Greed island and before the battle against the ants but for a much longer period of time. To me it seems like a no-brainer: obsession + lots of nen = something can eventually happens.

Kurapika, a complete beginner without much training, had to become intimate with chains to be able to materialize normal aura chains before he could do his more specialized hatsu. Netero spent a lot of time just punching and praying, until he reached enlightenment and could do the things he did. Isn't that obsession and aura training too? He was able to throw ten thousand punches in an instant before he even realized. I don't think that was purely from physical training, there was nen involved there, and I don't think he was completely aware of the abilities he was developing at the time either, since i think he even surprised himself by how much the time it took for him to do the punches kept getting shorter. When Gon did the vows needed to reach his full power didn't he need the proper mentality to do so? He had to be furious and obsessed with the revenge he wanted to get that, a half-hearted pledge of a mildly angry person wouldn't get even close to what he accomplished. And his body changed during this period too, due to nen.

Biscuit herself says in the page she mentions she doesn't understand how her body morphing works: "nen abilities are nowhere near as limited as you think they are".

I got up to chapter 189 and I want to say

THIS MANGA STINKS!

Somewhere around chapter 180 the art gets sloppy as shit. I can't believe the artist would publish sketches. It hurt my eyes!

And the details of the story are so fucking complicated. There's nen, ten, ren, gyo, ryo, kyo and so much other bullshit I can't keep track of it. What the fuck? They have to put stipulations on their abilities?

>in order to bomb you I have to tell you what my ability is and how to deactivate it

>i will die if i kill anyone who doesnt have nen

Seriously? How fucking retarded do you have to be to put those stipulations on abilities YOU CREATE?! They chose those consequences. They weren't forced into them.

How the fuck did we get from Gon becoming a hunter, to fighting in a tournament, to playing a video game that's not really a video game but real life OHHH SHIT WHAT A TWIST! M NIGHT SHAMALAN MOTHER FUCKERS!

The artist needs to kill himself herself? Yu Yu Hakusho was ok but fell off in the end. They didn't even show the tournament. They showed Yusuke's fight then he snuck behind Kuwabara and Kurama to tell them some fat ogre won.

I can't believe I wasted hours of my life reading this trash in vain hopes it would get better because you faggots recommended this. I hope anyone who recommends this dies from AIDs because a pack of angry niggers raped you within an inch of your worthless lives.

FUCK YOU AND FUCK HUNTER X HUNTER

Hisoka is a faggot, Gon and his boyfriend are faggots, Jin is a deadbeat faggot, and Kurapika is a retarded faggot who's basically Kurama with no roses but sparkly eyes

>>800332

The sketchy chapters are the ones that were published in Jump as weekly releases. But he cleaned them up and made the HQ versions that were put into the tankoban. Don't blame him; blame whatever shitty ass website you're looking at for being too fucking lazy to upload better scans.

>Gon and his boyfriend are faggots

I wish.

>>800332

Maybe Nurutu is more your speed, reddit-senpai.

>>800332

>It hurt my eyes!

>I can't keep track of it.

Sounds like a personal problem.

>How fucking retarded do you have to be to put those stipulations on abilities YOU CREATE?!

You didn't read shit nigger and this proves it, you probably just skimmed it and came here to redditpost.

Also bumping for new Ace Attorney chapter.

>>800567

The ugly as sin pages are his only legit complaint, Togashi was at peak "I don't give a shit" when he made that.

>>800582

You're right, but I doubt anyone here even recommended him the manga. His complaint makes it seem as if /a/nons swore by this recommendation and now we're at fault that he hated it. HxH is a series that benefits from watching the anime first and then reading the manga only to see if you missed anything or recap on certain events, since the anime follows the manga pretty closely anyway. This series is not for everyone, but it's the best series there is in terms of attention to logical detail and creativity.

New chapter is up giving the 4th Prince more paneltime, which is exactly what I wanted.

>>800359

Truly HxHfags are nothing but hipsters and queers.

>>800585

He's a specialist. And a seriously sinister-looking one at that...!

Now that the ball is really rolling with things, hopefully Togashi is having enough fun that he won't go on another hiatus for a good long time.

>>800593

I wouldn't be surprised if Benjamin's gonna be done in by him to further establish his nen-gainz™.

New Chapter is good.

>>800533

Naruto was decent before they got into the whole Akatsuki bullshit and Sasuke ran away. The entire series was full of wannabe twists.

>Itachi killed his family because he's a bad guy

<No he's actually a good guy and saved the village

>Now Sasuke is a bad guy

<But he's actually good in the end after he loses his arm fisting Naruto in the end

>Naruto harnesses his rage to defeat his enemies

<Oh my god there's so much hate in this world like peace and love man. Hit me if you want revenge on Sasuke

>the final battle was so fucking long it took fucking years to draw and publish it

<fight Tobi! He's really Madara! Now fight the demon lady! Now fight them again! Fight Sasuke! Wait, did the demon lady die or are we waiting for a twist for her final form? Zombies are fighting too?

It was good then turned into shit. The only good manga was Ranma and Dragonball not Z

>>800567

I still don't know who created that trash but it is unnecessarily complicated. I bet you can't keep track of all that bullshit without referring to wikipedia. You are a hipster of manga. You drink PBR and say it's delicious when you are too broke and retarded to buy real beer Guinness

>>801589

It's honestly not that complicated, and saying HxH is a hipster manga is really fucking weird, it's been around forever and has had 2 anime, the second one being pretty popular.

I think you just have brain problems.

>>801622

I'm calling the guy a hipster not the manga. The manga is just trash. It's too slow and they spent way too much time in the video game. What was the purpose of that? So the characters can get super strong in a shortish period of time?

>Wow I didn't think for the 6th time Gon could get ridiculously strong in a couple of weeks. He really is your son Jin!

It's dumb.

>>801589

If you're too stupid to follow a complex manga, that's also a personal problem.

>>801589

HxH isn't complex it just pays an absurd amount of attention to details, which is its main appeal and what makes it so different from other shonen. If you don't like that good on you but don't pretend like anyone forced you to start with reading the manga at gunpoint. I watch and read crap like Super too despite it being the polar opposite of something like HxH at every aspect, calling me a hipster is pure projection. And yeah, the Greed Island segment is arguably the weakest segment of HxH, but you're still an idiot who got all the way to the end of Greed Island and still somehow managed to miss that the harder the nen ability is to use because of restrictions, the stronger it becomes.

>>801665

You have proven you are not only fucking stupid, but also did not read at all, with that autistic claim about Gon being super strong.

Gon is lower mid tier at BEST and his ability is pure dogshit,

>>801710

I would say Gonna has luck on his side. Even more than kite with his little wand. Considering Gon can make himself age to the point how strong he wants to become.

>>801713

He was able to do that once, when he was the most pissed he had been in his life, at the cost of losing all his nen and possibly dying afterwards.

It's not something he can do, it's something he could do in a specific situation.

>>801717

He can probably do it again. Who knows what he has been up to. I bet when God knows when the boat arrives to the darky continent, Gon will be there fucking around.

>>801719

>He can probably do it again. Who knows what he has been up to.

It would be very inconsistent if he could use nen like he could before he turned into Gon-san, since last time we saw him he still didn't have nen, and I believe the time between then and the current events hasn't been long enough for him to even train as much as he did before he lost his nen.

>I bet when God knows when the boat arrives to the darky continent, Gon will be there fucking around.

This I agree with. Maybe we'll see him even earlier than that.

So what sex is kulluto? What the fuck is going on? Why is there so much shit happening?

Every Zoldyck sibling is male.

Got my brother to watch Hunter X Hunter.

the 1999 adaptation i hope.

Finally Hiatus X Hiatus is back on hiatus.

>>809368

Soldier: But this ship can't sink!

Mizai: She's made of steel, sir; I assure you, she can. And she will. It is a mathematical certainty.

Soldier2: How much time?

Mizai: Taking into account hiatuses... a year or two, at least.

>>809391

Considering how long this arc will be, more like 4-5

>>809431

The arc, sure, but that's going to cover the entire expedition on the DC, which doesn't need to boat anymore. It can sink pretty much as soon as they're reasonably near land, and all the IMPORTANT PEOPLE will survive.

>>809742

No, getting to the dark continent might be as long as the chrimea ants arc.

>>810144

That's just idle speculation on your part. The boat could sink in literally the next chapter and it wouldn't really change anything. Maybe everyone will end up in a smaller boat because most people drowned, or an airship, or "oh fuck the dark continent is right there" because someone warped them with an OP nen ability. You don't know.

>>810246

Oh but I know, what will happen next is nothing because this hiatus will be permanent

>>810246

I doubt with all the build up, there won't be the boat sinking. We have the Phantom Troupe vs Mafia vs Hisoka plot. We have the Mafia vs killing spree and contorl of the lower decks plot. We have Zodiacs vs control of killings plot. Zodiacs vs beyond plot. Succession War plot and finally the succession war vs the bastards plot.

There won't be a warp unless there they finish all of these plots and left us with the people going to the DC left alive. We could actually see everyone left alive and make it to the DC or at least dropped off at the fake island. I don't expect the boat sinking. Or if it does, it's probably a submarine.

how long until gon comes back?

>>810311

10 years.

>>810311

Eternity.

Togashi finally realized his MC was the most uninteresting character in the whole series and not just writing him off when he had the chance was a mistake.

The plot improved tenfold the moment it became all about Killua, Leorio and Kurapika instead

>>810311

Likely not until after the end of this arc. He needs to relearn nen from the ground up, and that will take years of in-universe time. Who can guess how long that will take in real-time, but "years" is a minimum, even if Togashi wrote non-stop, which he won't.

Considering I SERIOUSLY doubt he'll not actually die before the end of the DC arc, the correct answer is "never".

>>810521

Agreed, the story is 10x better. Killua and God and their fun but now it's time to let the big boys to tell their story. I wouldn't mind if it goes back to Killua and Gon once they are older.

>>810586

We won't even see Gon in the DC unless his stupid self accidentally ends up on the west side of the DC and meets his grandfather or whatever.

What is the plot of the story once they get into the DC? Find a cure? Walk around and wander? Build that nation? Die? Survive? What's the point of going there? We know it's a place we want to see but what are they going to do and what is their purpose to be there?

>>810521

Actually now that Gon completed his goal of finding his father, went through a lot of shit and grew as a person, and lost his nen, I think seeing him again would be interesting.

>>810614

Everyone has different purposes, and many of them are working against each other. The Kakin Princes (err, whichever one is left, anyway) want to exploit the resources. Given he takes after his father, Beyond probably just wants a grand adventure. The Zodiacs want to protect the civilians and prevent anything completely fucking horrible from ending up sent back to civilization. The civilians have been duped into believing they can just set up colonies as if it's not filled with eldritch murderbeasts (but they're getting dropped off at the wrong continent so who knows what they will do). The Ryodan want to find Hisoka and kill him horribly. Hisoka wants to do what Hisoka always does.

Jesus Christ, you are retarded.

What if Togashi is lying about his back? We could be at chapter 700 and finished the dark continent years ago but nope, it seems like we won't even reach there this decade at this rate. Do you think he has the story outlined that far in general or is he stuck writing on this boat.

Why are boat arcs always so long?

>>818886

I don't think he's lying about the back issues, but he is using it as an excuse to not doing anything, because he has little motivation anymore. Who knows why.
