What do you think about this

I think the reflection below does not match in the letter H above.

Shit character design and world building (except Dark Continent stuff)
Good powerlevels and great character backstory and interaction.

Togashi tries to do something different here. You can't deny.

>Good Powerlevels

Nothing wrong with those two fights. If anything Togashi bullshitted his way to heal Gon by asspulling Nanika

What do you mean there's nothing wrong? Kurapika dissapeared for a couple chapters and then comes back strong enough to manhadle a power house like Uvogin and a powerset perfectly made to deal with spiders, and Gon "sacrificed" his potential to become stronger as Meruen, a bullshit power up that no other Hunter ever thought of doing.

Manga is the best shonen series ever made.

Anime is not that great.

The most generic shounen ever but because the happy go lucky protagonist became edgy for one part of one arc it's suddenly a masterpiece now. The chimera ant arc had shock value which brought a lot of viewers and finally made HxH popular enough to be on par with the rest of other shonen. Gon, despite making a sacrifice is healed up one arc later and despite being edgy for one part is now back to his old self. Literally zero character growth.

Leorio isn't fleshed out enough as is the rest of the cast. Nen had potential but then turned out it's just energy blasts/fists/blade/typical anime shit. Stands and devil fruit powers are much more interesting and exciting despite the less complex explanations.

It's full of undeveloped characters, plotholes and asspulls.

>gon
>happy go lucky
You tried.

>when you're so bad at baiting you literally out yourself as Sup Forums

Both of those were explained though.

Kurapika literally sacrificed his entire nen options and forced himself to use them a specific way, simply to overpower spiders. Do you not realize how large a handicap that is?

Gon literally killed himself and castrated his nen and was only revived due to powerful nen users who could only keep him on ICU, then the bullshit with Nanika which was really asspulled, I admit.

So is your favorite shonen One Punch Meme?

It's a masterpiece because it was consistently good and had one filler episode.

The character development was great, you're just a faggot.

Gon being healed was an asspull, you get that one.

Leorio isn't fleshed out after a certain point because he never wanted to be part of the action in the first place. He literally fulfilled his goal.

It's not a bullshit power, just not one that is commonly used. Someone who is committed enough to die for something gains a lot of power until they die. Odds are that if any character of even average strength were to have a restriction like "give me more power for the next hour and then I die" they would be on Netero's level. The only thing stopping them is that most people are fighting to continue living, not being completely willing to sacrifice themselves for something before even starting the fight. Hell if Netero had started the fight with something like that he probably would have beat Meruem, but he wanted to see if he could actually beat him and live.

Technically Netero didn't need to use that technique regardless because he had the flower bombs that actually did kill Meruem in the end, so he knew he was basically guaranteed victory. If Poof hadn't have been a healer then it would have been game over.

Well exactly. That's why he didn't bother with that, his options were that he either tries and is defeated, setting off a bomb and killing his enemy, or that he tries and wins, in which case he never has to set the bomb off.

I think Togashi needs to get off his ass and pump out more chapters.

you and everyone else why have there been so many hunter threads lately are we just sore or is this the new bait

Someone explain how Hisoka revived himself. Doesn't brain death occur after about 3 minutes without oxygen?

look user there is no logical explanation to justify it if you try applying logic you're only gonna hurt your self I care about you user just don't do it

cool beans

Kurapika will become Hisoka's girlfriend after it is revealed that she is indeed a tomboy girl?

1999 was better.

...

1999 was so shit.

this

I didn't say it wasn't I just hate that its an argument when its the same source material and the usual arguements are muh colors and filler who really gives a fuck

this

I thought only the chain that immobilize them can't be used against any other than a spider though? He still has his other chains. And the sharingan bullshit.

>What do you think about this

i dont care about series whose autor doesnt care about

kek

>And the sharingan bullshit.
But that´s cool as fuck, m8.

It is, but he's still too stronk after only like 2 months of beginning nen training.

yea he can't use chain jail on non-spiders but he still becomes a specialist and can heal himself but with out chain jail it isn't entirely certain he can win against some one its still op tho

A mediocre battle manga given praise due to one really good arc, putting it on the same level as medaka box

Not as shit as 2011 though.

Nope. At least 2011 had no cringy filler. Also voice acting, music, animation quality = all better in 2011.

>2011 has better music

yeah I love the same three tracks playing over every single scene even though emotionally it doesn't fit any of them

No one cares about what plays most of the time in an episode in the background. It's the important music pieces that matter. In example that music when Netero was about to kill himself, that was perfectly on point. Or when Killua cried after Illumi was mean to him? Perfectly on point. Or when Chrollo was spazzing out and flailing his arms in the air because he had an epilepsy attack? On. Point.

Nothing was ever on point in 1999. The only good music piece in it was that pop band that did the emo opening in the Yorknew arc.

Voice acting and music were better in 1999.

99 va was worse than japanese goku

Either:

A. Nen user flesh, even after death, has a lot more vitality than a normal person's.
B. Hisoka is a zombie fueled by ghost nen, not a living person anymore.

Choice B has led to some interesting theories, like him losing more and more of his body until he's nothing but a rubber and gum demon, or that he'll drop dead as soon as he kills Chrollo and his grudge powering his braindead corpse is fulfilled.

Voice acting, music and sfx in 1999 were all garbage and were exactly what made it worse than 2011. The art and direction were better though.

Takes too long to get good and isn't good for long.

I couldn't get past the ill-fitting clown music in 2011

B. is more possible considering every body has nen right even if they don't use it, it's like their life force and hisoka literally hopped up from death and can make rubber limbs seems like his body has the properties of both rubber and gum. so is it safe to say he's a rubber man can togashi give him a weakness or is there more to this

sorry replying to you here

>Or when Chrollo was spazzing out and flailing his arms in the air because he had an epilepsy attack? On. Point.
And here I was thinking he tried to imitate an orchestra director. Thanks, user. Silly me.

Killua is cute!

Gon wasn't stronger than Meruem, moron.

>stronger as Meruem

Your shitty grammar doesn't defend you. He was neither stronger than nor as strong as Meruem.

in this cappitou made that statement before the king had died and been reborn which she didn't even know about. so its still in the air

that's not even an accurate translation. Pitou only says that Gon's abilities (fangs) could reach the King and Viz manages to translate that correctly, scanlations and crunchyroll didn't. Gon was never as strong as Meruem.

i agree, he could have killed meruem

Gon paid dearly for that shit so the fight itself wasn't the issue. Even if togashi made wish slut a thing

Kurapika however was a fucking asspull

why doesn't every nen fighter just make a ridiculously retarded condition whenever they see they are about to be murdered to win the fight?

I understand pitou not doing it, since she may not even know about it, but a ryodan member sure knows about it

Don't ever call her a slut again or else

I didn't say he was stronger than meruem I was saying regardless of how it was worded what she said was before the king was reborn were he was undeniably untouchable in strength meaning even if gon was close before he was reborn after he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat him your replying to the wrong user

also
>fangs could reach the King
I'm pretty sure this was said at a different time in the arc when pitou was healing komugi

it's said there and 306.

He should have just checked his pulse.

>masterpiece
How many people are claiming that HxH is a masterpiece?

Not sure about it being a masterpiece, but HxH became my favourite shounen after the Yorkshin arc (it's still my fav, actually)

Gon was originally supposed to die long before the asspull but the editor or some faggot told the author to keep him alive.

How many things can you pull out of your ass?

3

A professional hunter can't stand the aura of one of the king's royal guard, while four kids actually fought them. Super Asspull Gon vs Pitou and Shoot, Knucle and Killua against Youpi.

Yeah, Knov reaction was too much really. Though Knuckle, Shoot, Killua and Gon were like at his level anyway.

Knov was in zetsu you dumb nigger.

nobody actually thinks that it has problems like many other anime/manga specifically pacing

P L O T C O N V E N I E N C E

although I imagine it'd be possible, given the laws of the series themselves.

>no other Hunter ever thought of doing
that's where it is.

no one was naive enough to try doing something as stupid as that.

(You)

Killua knew about Dragon Dive yet he had never heard Nen.

fuck getting off the boat will we ever get back on why did togashi leave it on such a meh cliff hanger I don't remember any of the names of those guards with kurapika

The villain is killed by radiation. He just didn't murder everyone after recovering from the nuke because "love".

that is your singular, all-encompassing epiphany about the series as a whole?

dude

can anyone rec a manga like hxh something that has characters like gon and killua.

...

It's a psychological thing.

No one is eager to cripple their long-term potential just to win one fight.
If they actually get backed into a corner so badly they realize cripple nen is the only option, odds are they're already dead or only realized that AFTER getting stabbed in the dick.
At which point they're bleeding to death and panicking too much to make any tangible thoughts about nen restrictions.

Nen is heavily influenced by emotions. If they think they might be screwed before getting to that point and try the trick, odds are it won't work because of their doubts about really going through with it. "Oh shit, this guy might kill me" ain't cutting it beyond a typical adrenaline boost.

It only worked in Gon's case because he spent plenty of time simmering in guilt and hate before hitting full despair, and Pitou had developed enough mercy to not just decapitate him as soon as the phone call came.
When Gon made the decision to throw away everything, it wasn't some simple survival instinct.
He was fully willing to die if it meant reducing Pitou to a stain on the floor in the process.

>No one is eager to cripple their long-term potential just to win one fight.

I mean, if it's clear you're about to die, why wouldn't you? At least you take the other guy with you. I'm pretty sure there were fights were Hisoka fucked around for plenty of time with nen users before killing them, they could very well have made it.

Although reading this made me realize that maybe it's not that simple to do, since the only 2 cases of this we've seen are Kurapika's and Gon's, and both had a lot of time to prepare it. I guess it could be possible Gon made that shit way before the fight actually started.

world trigger maybe? their not exactly the same osamu isn't as reckless or hot headed as gon but yuma could be a similar to killua

tl;dr
The resolve to actually use extreme restriction nen usually only comes when it's too late.

>something that has characters like gon and killua.
pretty much every decent shounen should do it if that's all that you're looking for

gon/killua aren't uncommon archetypes

And so it begins.

Only if you reply to it, so do everyone a favor and just don't.

Hisoka's lethal fights with nen users from what I recall.

>Hunter exam who
Became crying wojack in response to the technique he spent months developing being copied in seconds.

>Kastro
Disoriented by a punch to the chin. Only realized he couldn't just conjure the double to block the cards after getting stabbed several times in the torso.

>Gotoh
Distracted blocking coins from all around him, allowing Hisoka to attack from above and slit his throat.

>Kortopi
Bathroom ambush.

>Shalnark
Distracted by being tossed Kortopi's severed head, then promptly got his face caved in by a bungee punch.

I need to see proofs!!

As soon as Kite saw how bad things were at the NGL he should have immediately called for backup or just killed the ants himself instead of playing with them.

do you guys think Hisoka will actually kill all of the phantom troupe

See .

I mean, seriously. HxH is unironically the most intellectual shonen manga ever made. Because it takes college level IQ to be able to understand most of the things that happen in the plot and why (everything is explained, but low IQs don't get it). There are so many pitfalls that the retards (

theyre not common archetypes at least not as common as to be in every decent shonen.

inb4 classic Sup Forums contrarianism

yes, HxH is the smartest shonen manga ever made.

Not a single ant he saw was on the level of a pro hunter. By the time he encountered Pitou, it was too late for that. Pitou was the first huge spike in power level, nothing even came close before that. We went from the best ant being on the level of amateurs like Gon and Killua, to Ptiou, which was stronger than Netero before he was battle ready, as he said so himself.

although I don't wanna him to touch shizuku its possible but will togashi kill chrollo is the real question if he intended for this to happen and chrollo to die then why not back and heavens arena. I imagine that they'll all end up on DC and hisokas "kill all troupe" subplot will probably conflict with the others on DC

>Became crying wojack

Heh. I don't know why I find imagining this so funny

My god dude go outside.

Typical non argument used by a barely one hundred.
