seriously, I think the theme about hunters is wasted when the manga was largely focus on power gap and power level fighting. Sure it is interesting to see the characters struggle to out smart their enemies, but shouldn't there be treasure to take, gourmet to taste and monster to hunt? At least one piece and toriko established this part pretty well.
