      Thanks for including my unpopular opinion. And for expanding on it. Is still think that even though Netero was extremely strong, in his old age he wasn't the strongest hunter anymore. One of the younger hunters had surpassed him. Your probably right and human would be much more correct. But who's to say there's not someone extremely powerful who's a hunter that we just don't know about yet. Thanks again and for the awesome content

      Pariston grew on me, but more so the whole emotional conclusion with Killuas Story felt just so good and meaty.
      And of course more Illumi and Hisoka, Ging appears and the tease of the Dark Continent. Short but great Arc.

      It was boring and the introduction of those new characters without such a slight reference made me think a lot. They should have gradually introduced characters it’s like - 6 episodes pass discussing the theme of the anime and the main character drops in 7th episode. But they did a very good job at trying not a lot of anime do that. There was no demographic or government situation after the third great ninja war in Naruto. Agreed there was something but seemed way to unimportant which made it dumb. Again, I love HxH and how they included government and other criteria while maintaining the theme. FMAB did a wonderful job but can’t complement since it basically falls into the them.
      In conclusion, even if it’s boring and too much to know it makes it cool and the fact that I feel like I know only 5% of the HxH world is laughable. Good job to the HxH team for trying and making this wonderful anime.

      Fr people think the Akatsuki is better, which is understandable but they can't admit their downfall was most definitely their teamwork. They set out in teams of 2 and one by one they all got beat.
      Hidan ~ Outsmarted and Outplayed
      Kakuzu - Main Character Jutsu
      Sasori ~ Tried to solo a powerhouse and a puppet master
      Deidara ~ Killed himself trying to outwit Sasuke
      Pain ~ Main character Jutsu
      Konan ~ Literally killed by an Akatuski member
      Kisame ~ Literally died for ultimately nothing
      Itachi ~ Died fighting his brother.
      Obito ~ ._. Don't get me started
      Madara ~ Lmao. No comment no just NO!
      They all in one way or another got beat in a 1v1 or a 2v1. These are supposed to be some of the most dangerous foes in the world and yet they (dare I say) easily got clapped if they weren't Madara/Obito/Pain. They literally almost ALWAYS walked off from fighting an Akatuski member with not so much as a scratch. Even Pain... he literally just reversed everything he did to everyone besides The GOAT Jiraya.

    Controversial Opinion, Gon is a great shonin protagonist solely due to the fact he acts his age. He is a character with great mystery and emotional depth, not only that but his entire family line seems to be shrouded in this hidden potential. The Freeks naturally befriending Zoldyck's is also fascinating as if we also keep Killua then Gon is surely to return. I'd love to see a point either midway through or post Dark Continent where Killua and Gon reunite. Gon being cold and Killua being more humane.

    On the last Phantom Troupe idea (then being overused) I think it’s an issue of appearance with no presence. People have waited so long for them to do something, anything, that at this point you start to wonder why they are even here. Couple that with their not great showings and the fact that Hisoka took down two of them and it quickly feels like they can’t stack against the monsters of the current world.

    Netero wasn't the strongest hunter at the time of the Chimera Ant arc, he admitted that in his advanced age he had weakened. Given the nature of nen his ability was not the best to fight the king either, it was all about raw power, you need a manipulation user or something that doesn't just rely on raw power. Look at the situation with Uvo, they actually said he was most valnerauable to a manipulation or conjuration user and Kurapika proved it by beating him with abilities and not just raw power. I completely believe that the Zodiacs could have taken on Meruem.

    I get what that dude was saying about the Troupe being around too long. In Yorknew they had a clear and strong narrative purpose which was tied in with Kurapika's arc. Afterwards once Kurapika's arc is resolved, half the reason for the Troupe's presence in the story is gone. On Greed Island, they anchored themselves to this Abengane character, one of the most forgettable in the series. There was fun banter between them and Hisoka, but they are effectively background characters in this arc. Think about how cool it would have been instead if they needed a particular rare item that could exorcise Chrollo, putting them on the path to conflict with Gon who needed all 100 cards to win, and Hisoka who wants to fight Chrollo but doesn't want Gon to die. In the Chimera Ant Arc, it was basically just fan service. It's not like Togashi showed us what happened to all the other captains who went off on their own to create their own kingdoms.
    I also get wanting to see more of them. Their presence may have been narratively irrelevant after Yorknew, but I still appreciate every second they're on screen. They are super interesting characters and I would watch them watch paint dry if that's what Togashi decided to give us.

    • @narutoash1
      @narutoash1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think another reason they were included in the Greed Island Arc though was to introduce Kalluto and then it's to help expand the fact that although Kalluto was trained in the assassination ways, he's still not as strong as the other phantom troupe members. It backs up the previous claim of the Zeno and Silva stating that even they would have difficulties facing the troupe. It slowly builds upon both groups while also adding onto that the troupe does things in their own interest regardless of the main characters or not. They are independent and not entirely chained to the MCs (I hope you like that pun).

    I don't think Gons dark arc is over yet. He could get some flashbacks of his transformation and brutal murder of Pitou and his general inner struggle in the Chimera ant arc so the restoration of his former naive and innocent self could be less permanent than it was portrayed as.
    I also find it quite likely that there will be some sort of hidden price revealed later for his healing like maybe the entity behind Nanika on the dark continent demanding some sort of price for all that wish fullfillment or running rampant in some way.

    There is one thing that really bugged me in HxH... when Killua and Gon first started learning nen, Killua was portrayed not knowing what nen was in the slightest, but when came the chimera ant arc during the palace assault he recognized his grandfather technique which would mean that he would need to know about nen beforehand, and when he was revealing Illumi needle humans ability for him to know all of that he would need to understand nen much before his own learning.

      @@theraredevil3316 Well, being devil's advocate a little, in truth Killua does say something about why he seemed to ignore Alluka's situation... he said that probably was because of Illumi's needle.
      The why is understandable in reality, the point where Killua finally overcame that needle was a point where not only his love for Gon was an all time high (brother love for those of you with dirty minds), but his frustration with himself too and this is a little more subtle, but so was his growth as a nen user, it is no coincidence that after he tore the needle out his strength seemed to jump.
      Nen is a deeply psychological power, it grows and wanes with the designs of the spirit and mind, Killua in a way was meant to free himself at some point as his strength and maturity grew.
      It may be a stretch but in a way, the needle being on him was a plot point that strengthened the fact that he didn't know nen beforehand, as without nen he would have been under that "spell" for the rest of his life, only nen can combat nen. But then came the situation with the Dragon Dive and this has been in my mind for years.
      To me, at least, the explanation of the needle was acceptable concerning his lack of worry with Alluka.

    In my opinion pitou was a total tragedy. The way I've always seen it in my own eyes, I cant call the chimaera ants evil initially. When they first come to life I don't see them as evil regardless of what they do because it's like seeing a machine that can't think kill something. A machine isn't good or evil, it doesn't think. That's how I see the ants when they are first born. They do what they do and feels like they don't truly have a sense of mortality. Though each of the ants at some point seem to have a sort of awakening. the moment they come to terms or develop a sense of right and wrong. Either they decide what they've been doing is wrong and decide to change themselves or decide to keep doing it. I only consider them evil once they've had that wake up point and still decide to be like ants and do awful things.
    I believe pitou was right at the edge of that awakening, they had already sort of started that process. I truly believe that given a bit more time pitou would have fully committed to being a (morally) good character. It's possible pitou had already reached that point as well. Pitou definitely would have continued to serve maruem either way but he was sort of going down the same path. Had gon not killed them, I think it's definitely possible pitou would have joined the humans like the other ants.

    Hisoka "The person I want to fight most right now is you"
    Netero "Cool story, you may leave"
    (Gets casually ignored)
    Chimera Ant Arc
    Netero sees pitou resting
    Netero "I'll be blunt, that creature is stronger than me"
    Glasses guy "Stronger than you? If that's true Chairman, no one in the hunter's association would be able to take her down"
    Netero "It may had been a different story 50 years back but..."
    Yeah this is just implication of hype and language that the author chose. Feat wise, pretty sure the other comments solidified why the Royal Guard would not lose to a Hisoka. Don't let your appreciation for the character cloud your judgement.
    Her aura sensed by Killua was more malicious than both Illumi and the clown. In character, Hisoka would also play around as seen with Chrollo, that is just signing the death warrant twice.
    Took an enraged attack from adult Gon with aura of that to the King and actually grew stronger thanks to post mortem. The prior King aura could scare both Netero with training and Zeno, easily walking past them. One slice could also cut off Netero the strongest nen user arm, which could had been his head. Faster than lightning Killua, in the anime, her footsteps can't be heard while for the first time, we can hear Killua feet move.
    Need I remind you how op netero attack is? No way is Hisoka anywhere near the speed, strength or durability of the attack especially when Illumi was a 95 on his scale.
    Even Chrollo would have an extreme fight for a draw much less Hisoka. No amount of knowledge/turns ons would save him from being a Kite in the end.

    Power systems are usually presented at the start of the manga, like Nen or Stands or Haki or Flames (Katekyo Hitman Reborn, go watch it) or Pluses, Minuses, Zeros, Romantic Comedy whatever the mangaka of Medaka Box had in mind at the moment.

    To answer your last point about the Troupe overstaying their welcome, I find that fascinating as well because I initially held that belief also. I thought they were just being annoying and not really doing anything worthwhile, especially with people hyping them up so much just to take so long to fight off Ant officers. However, upon rewatching HxH, I grew to like them as individual characters and not plot points, so now I am interested just to see how they handle different situations as the story goes on.

    Unpop op: Heaven's Arena is a fantastic arc. This brought back a sort of nostalgia to me from Paper Mario Thousand Year Door's chapter 3, and whilst this arc doesn't have a conspiracy theory-type plot, it does introduce this new mysterious Nen martial art that is confusing yes, but expands so much of the world.
    Personally I'm very okay with nothing from the Floor Masters and up being seen because it gives this impression that this world is very real. Your protagonist(s) isn't/aren't gonna conquer every single challenge they come across, and sometimes they won't want to at all, and to me it makes it feel more real that there's just aspects of the world that won't be touched by our heroes. I even feel like this is enhanced by only seeing our first aspect of Floor Masters WAY later, although I imagine that civilian massacre isn't what those matches usually look lile hahaha. Also by being so disconnected from the current main plot in the manga, it almost gives the impression that it's been televised to US, which is very interesting.

    Nen is the best power system I have seen in anime, it just adds a lot to characters and the story itself, I think Netero was hyped due to his position and raw aura, in terms of ability it is impressive but I don't think it necessarily makes him the best

    I really liked pitou, and her role in the story. I felt for her when she was trying to serve the king, but I never forgot how dangerous she is. I like that she died, and it was a respectful death (took all of Gon to do it, and she even managed to take out an arm.)

      @@FireFlyXP54 I’m just of the opinion that her death was good. I’m also of the opinion that Byakuya should have died in bleach, and might guy should have died after opening the 8 gates. Don Quixote properly dies at the end of his story. The Wayne parents die at the start of Batman’s story. It’s effective story telling, and not having the guts to kill a fan favorite leads to mistakes, per Byakuya, and might guy.
      What do these have in common. They are tragedies. What makes the hxh story interesting is the relative humanity of what we’re originally beings only seen as monsters. What would Pitou’s character do after she finds out the king is dead? (That actually might have been an interesting story come to think of it). But obviously again, the point was that she and the rest of the royal guard were fated to die. Her death is much better then the other two royal guards. More violent for sure, but more satisfying.

    I love how the Phantom Troupe characters are written. Each has it's own personality and depth not just "owwww theyre evil, every phantom troupe member very bad". What fascinates me that not every Ryodan member's power is revealed or fully revealed like Feitan, Phinks, Illumi, Chrollo's other stored nen powers in his book and etc. Yes some showed their nen powers already but i like to think they have more to show. Also they like to do things their own way with regards following their boss' orders and not just "chasing the hero"

    I'm honestly not even that interested in the phantom troupe vs kurapika thing anymore cause I don't see kurapika losing to any of them unless he fights a bunch of members at once. His powers from the start already made him a formidable opponent against a lot of the phantom troupe, so much so that he could beat uvogin and was expected to kill off half the troupe after only having learned nen 9 months ago. Considering how much time has past and how much stronger in nen he has more than likely become in that time, it's just unbelievable that he would struggle against any of them except for chrollo and maybe feitan. It'll still be interesting to see, assuming we ever will, but if I see kurapika struggling against mfs like phinx or shizuki i'm calling bs.
