Was this an asspull?

Was this an asspull?

Kind of. It doesn't really matter though.

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

Yes

Yes. Especially how killua can get around any consequences

Fucking awful writing

Yeah, but it was kinda cool.

>you won't see the ending of HxH in your lifetime

I'm gonna kill myself 5 minutes after Togashi's death so I can ask him about HxH in the afterlife.

It should have ended at yorkshin

It's a semi-asspull, the calamity theory is pretty cool.

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.

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

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.

it became an asspull when Killua could arbitrarily bypass all the rules for no logical reason other than plot convenience

When the gas-lifeforms were introduced it said "desire of co-dependence" iirc so that probably has something to do with it, we really don't know enough though and probably won't for years.

Free wishes was the asspull.

If the calamities had been mentioned before Nanika´s appearance, then my god, HxH wouldn´t have such a blatant asspull. But since it didn´t, here we are.

Is she the strongest thing in HxH?

Aye.

Fuck off to Sup Forums with your buzzwords OP! :^)

an asspull to fix what another asspull had done

I still don't understand how killua bypassed this

Alluka's just being a dick normally when asking for requests but gives freebies to Killua.

OH MY RUBBER NEN

/thread

it's an asspull, that's how

Maybe, but I like her. If she has anything to do with calamities it'll be perfect, and I want to see what Illumi does about her anyways.

Hisoka is a gay clown goku magician

HxH powers have limitations and conditions?
STOP THE PRESSES

Killua is Alluka's favorite onii-san. Even having all these powers, you would cut a slack to not hurt your onii-san

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
>Btw this bizarre cosmic being doesn't have any otherworldly intentions of its own, she just wuvs her big brudda
>Killua's family relations are largely unaffected despite him callously defying them
>Gon is up and running again within an hour, so his ultimate sacrifice during the chimera ant arc meant nothing in the long term

>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?

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.

No, stop bullying Alluka and Nanika

No, the rules don't apply to wishes for Killua. Healing is harder for her to do than other things, so she does have to physically touch the target.

No.

Killua bypasses the consequences because Alluka would be one of those to die if he couldn't fulfill Nanika's requests

>Oh it turns out she can actually do anything with no consequence or explanation at all
See >Btw this bizarre cosmic being doesn't have any otherworldly intentions of its own, she just wuvs her big brudda
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

You are an idiot

>she
>her

I suppose but it was stated that nanika comes from the dark continent so it was less asspull I guess.

Something will happen that force her to unable to grant any more wishes.

This post is an asspull.

...

It's the arc right before it though.. seems planned almost.

...

...

be honest with me user, he aint coming back is he?

...

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.

He will be back when jump is at the absolute lowest he will save jump.

I love Hisoka.

>plus Nanika is being worked into the storyline as a major plot point for the next arc.
Togashi will die before this happens

I don't think so; At the very least he won't end it in any meaningful way, it's really a shame.

>introduce this 10/10 concept for many new arcs and stories in the future that blows everything else that has happened up until now out of proportion
>pce the fuck out

There's a chance he may release a volume or two by the end of 2018.

it did

>Killua's family relations are largely unaffected despite him callously defying them
Read the manga, also i'm sure they mentioned it in the anime too. There is a certain way they solve interfamily disputes. since they are bound to happen within their proffesion

BRING BACK HUNTER X HUNTER KUDASAI TOGASHI SAMA. PLEASE KAMI SAMA PLEASE KUDASAI. HUNTER HUNTER RETURNO DESU KA 2017 MARCH UWU 11TH KUDASAI!!! OH KUDASAI!!

>flat earthers were right

I don't know what's more suffering: this or Berserk.

Actually Nanika is the introduction to the calamities and the Zoldyck's past role on the DC expeditions but ok you want to be contrarian and hate on hxh ignoring all the answers itt just go ahead.

Is this what it feels like to be in an abusive relationship?

eh berserk is starting to go some weird route so im kinda unsure/anxious on it but hxh on the other hand I know will be good

OOOOH so the secret is to actually love Alluka. It's all Illumi has to do yet he's incapable.

>the asspull is the introduction to the asspull's explanation

Wow, you're a genius.

>HxH powers have limitations and conditions?
No they don't, it seems like they do but they get bypassed all the time for one reason or the other.
OH MY RUBBER NEN

asspulls are everywhere in shounen manga because either the authors lose their minds or their editor is against their current idea and the author is either too lazy to fix or too deep to fix.

99% of the time i blame editors

>DC exists only to explain Alluka despite the fact that there have been characters and elements tied to it since previous arcs.

You're an idiot.

...

Nanika is female. Alluka is male. Welcome to Togashi's way of making characters.

Togashi, let somebody draw for you, ask Muata he likes to draw others' stuff

Are they still on the boat?

Miura still releases chapters occasionally.

Fucking lazy bumfuck living off of his wife's money and playing Dragon Quest.

This, Murata deserves better than OPM.

The shit is you could actually count on Berserk coming back within its projected return date, with HxH it's all broken promises and no updates

One of the absolute worst. Togashi had better be thankful that this didn't sink the entire thing right then and there, otherwise he wouldn't even have an manga to procrastinate on.

Not as much as this was

boat hasn't even left port.

If the series was actually going anywhere, how do you suppose it would end?

>dark continent
>find the nen King or whatever
>they defeat him or get him to fuck off or something
>everyone congratulates Gon
>ging isn't an asshole

WHERES my money jump

That's lame, let's try this
>they reach the end of the Dark Continent
>turns out it's inside another lake with another bigger continent outside it
>THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES

Imagine the calamities

Every night on the Darker Continent is Eclipse night.

>Dark Continent
>Darker Continent
Darkest Continent confirmed.

>they get to the dark continent
>somehow hisoka finds a way to Griffith them all
>rapes killua
>becomes ultimate clown rapist
>Gon has to track him down and kill him

HxH becomes what berserk should have been after the eclipse, goes down in history as the greatest manga of all time

Make it so.

>another mainline Dragon Quest is coming out this year
This series is doomed.

M-maybe he'll be inspired by it.

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.

>that image
Goddamn brokeback mountain.

>eight months since we boarded the boat and we're still only 3 chapters into the ride

We honestly never stood a chance

No more than I do, user kun.

Yeah. And Killua negating the bad effects is even more retarded.
They'll probably nerf it somehow but even then.

kuroro stronk!

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.

Would you an Uvo?
