You should make a what if where Goku seeks out techniques instead of power (for the most part). I always didn't like how he relies on power even though his martial arts carried him through a lot of the story originally. Obviously he still seeks growth in power but his main focus would be becoming the best martial artist / technician.
Ippo Makunouchi
Ichigo
I'd love to see a HxH in DB What If. Nothing too big like a what if Gon and Killua were in DB
Naruto
Hisoka when he meets luffy: *Ah i see you also posses bungee gum which has the properties of both rubber and gum.*
This needs more love xD
Closer to Bungee Brick cause he slamming people’s faces with boulders
Luffy is also a kid at the start soooo 😂

Luffy would answer the trick question "Both". And when told it's not a real answer, would then shout it louder until the test giver gave up.
Luffy may not be smart in the academic sense but he has great fighting instincts and can find the simple solution to various problems. Just like the impossible choice.
Luffy would suplex the trolley problem.
"I'll save both my mother and the meat!"
"no, the question was your mother or your true love!"
"That's exactly what I said!"
"I'm a pirate. I'm going to take both."
@@LordTyph that goes hard
I can already hear Midoriya muttering about nen
He would love nen, probably fill up several notebooks just on theorizing about them
@@BrokenFist ..and then promptly stop theorizing about it as soon as he gets his hands on it.
Hot take: the nerdy battle smart deku is what makes deku such a fun character (after of course he stops crying a ton)
@@BrokenFist Imagine how interesting of an ability he can invent by thinking that much
He would end up ling Ging, not on his natural aptitude, but because of how much he studies and thinks
Joseph's eyes would light up realising the first phase of the exam was his literal secret technique
Bro I was literally about to say the same thing N I G E R U N D A Y O ! 🏃💨
Same with Jotaro. It’s a family technique.
I don’t think he’d be thrilled to run for hours. He hates hard work
@@Xeshin yes, but that’s also literally one of his best “techniques” is literally running away from a problem.
@@Xeshin It helps that he's superhuman with a technique that enhances his physiology. What'll take others hours will take him 45 minutes
The scariest part is that joseph even before his training reacted to a beam of light from the redstone of aja. He is cooking the exams with his iq and stats
When is Part 2 Joseph NOT cooking (besides spying on his mom)
@@TheSaladBar He didnt know if we didnt know most people in the comment section would do it💀Also in my opinions joseph is one of the if not the smartest character battle iq wise in most of anime
@@TheSaladBar niceeee

I can already hear Yusuke answering the truck question with “WHAT KIND OF STUPID QUESTION IS THAT GRANDMA”
Yes, but the question is.... Is he sleeping? I'm more scared of sleeping Yusuke than awake Yusuke. Awake Yusuke has the ability to be stupid
Bloody hell, I read it in his screaming dubbed voice

Goku would 100% just stay quiet out of confusion and wondering what a mother or true love are
I was thinking this too. That I could reasonably see him sitting there thinking and confused just long enough to pass lol
"is that something you eat?"
I'm pretty sure Goku knows what a mother is. He had Grandpa Gohan after all.
@@theoverseer1775 Goku thought a girl was a type of food, so probably not
Although Goku would fail to answer why he wants to be a hunter
Goku wasn't doing. He just did a little walk to get his lisence
Like bro the hunter exam is his natural area of living
Same with like 99% other anime chracters ??
kid goku would be laughing and having the time of his life lol
I'd imagine he'd perform relatively similar to Gon, except I'm honestly not sure if Goku would be able to get Hisoka's tag like Gon was able to (I say this because I don't think Goku would win in a fight and I can't see Goku going stealth), and Goku would also prob actively fight a lot more
@@k1llsh0t_87 a kid with that much potential? Please, Hisoka would give It to him just for a taste of that potential... The creep
@@k1llsh0t_87 He'd out scale hisoka very quickly and if hisoka beats him up then boom zenkai boost. Because Goku has a way higher potential than Gon so there's no way Hisoka will kill him.
Going to call it out right here.
Kid Goku and Gon are basically the same person.
Wicked strong and powerful instincts, with similar cheerful personalities and levels of intelligence.
except kid goku is bulletproof
I'd argue Goku is somewhat more ethically sound, oddly. There are a lot of similarities, but on D&D alignment chart or whatever other metric I'd call Goku more "good" and Gon more "lawful". Even before he goes pretty dark later on, Gon early in the story has reactions akin to "Oh no, they died! Anyway...". He cares about people close to him, but he doesn't have nearly same kind of meddling "do good" as Goku, while Goku doesn't exhibit as strict an adherence to his own principles or even display many coherent principles...Gon's are warped, but he has them.
@@TheMelnTeam
Scrap the D&D alignment charts. Goku is indeed more naive and idealistic. Toriyama writes things a lot more light hearted. The world of Hunter X Hunter is absolutely brutal and Gon reflects this.
They're both good btw they're just different.
@@Trakesh I agree on Goku's mind set but Goku day 1 is already on par with most novice nen users and here's his feats at EP 1.
Took a bullet to the head and it only caused pain, it did not even hurt him.
Said he could out run Bulma's motorcicle (more like complained why not run because it would be faster).
Lifted a fish the size of a Jeep
Killed a HUGE pitedoractyl on a single blow
Lifted and trew Bulma's car.
Basicaly he was faster, stronger, more durable and was skilled at martial arts.
I could see Goku brute force his way to the final exam and "pure heart" what he could not.
And that's early Goku, Roshi's first tranning Goku was already on par with some of the most powerful nen users and Kid Goku vs King Piccolo was next to Meruen levels of raw power.
I could also see Hisoka going serious mode on Goku and killing him if it was day 1 Goku, it's true he would mostly spare him because of his potential but if could kill him if he wanted and have would use some sort of out of the box method as he would barely able to hurt him at all but out smart him like using his nen to glue Goku underwater and drown him to death for example.
Honestly the trick question is probably more generous than we think
What they punish is a smartass answer like "I save my mother because I only have one" showing that they didn't take the emotional part of the dilemma seriously
But if a character like Luffy were to say "i'll save one and trust my friends to save the other" or "I'll do everything I can to save both even if I have to die trying" I'm not sure I'd be considered a bad answer, the grandma is probably allowed to pick what qualifies and what doesn't.
And Naruro conveniently passes the written portion of the Chunin Exams by answering a similar trick question. So he'd probably just be like, "I'll save them both because I never give up and never go back on my word! Believe it! That's my Ninja Way!" (Dattebayo!)
Then he’d get told he failed, we’d hear the music, the swing would appear, maybe 10 minutes of flashback later his emotional recap touches the adjudicators heart and he passes
I'd imagine there really is no "right" answer, yeah.
@mdbgamer556 correct. Both the grandma and Kurapika state that there is no right answer. This is why Kurapika answered with silence
I think the whole answer bit was punished less because of it being snarky but more because it wasn't genuine. The guy was clearly trying to give what was the on-paper 'correct' response without actually answering the question. He was trying to play the crowd and was punished for it.
"[For Yusuke] I don't know id there's a world shattering reveal, like Goku being a Saiyan, later on..."
...well...
Tbf, yusuke would still fail. It wouldn't be due to his skill or strength, though. It took a lot for him to earn any work ethic.
@@darkonekosuke2 I think you need to frame it as Yusuke after he became spirit detective, but before he meets Genkai. At least it would give him a reason actually be doing the Hunter Exam, because otherwise there wouldn't be a real reason why he would care.
Hahahaha I felt this comment in my soul!
Was looking for someone to acknowledge this lol
@@AussieDragoon Yeah, literal start of story I'm not sure the spoiler stuff matters. It certainly hasn't manifested in any way that would be more relevant to the hunter exam than it would be in his actual story. I think you have to give him some of his story's training like you + video say, both for sufficient strength and for sufficient motivation.
[15:06] For Luffy it's difficult to say because while he's impulsive and would not want to lose anyone he cares about he's also very emotionally intelligent so he might be able to guess his way to the right answer based on his instincts.
Of course I could also see him saying something along the lines of "I don't care what you say old lady, I'd save both my Nakama and family." because we all know Luffy would associate lover as Nakama.
Luffy would definitely pair up with other testers who can help him pick up the slack, like the HXH main characters sort of did. He's very socially motivated so he's definitely going to be fine.
So accurate
The thing is that Luffy "emotional intelligence" comes from how he's able to pick up on clues that most others wouldn't notice if they were in distress. It's like knowing that Nami was hiding something and didn't actually abandon the crew because she was evil, she did so in order to protect her village and the people she loves.
But Luffy can't use his emotional intelligence to tell him if someone's asking a trick question. Luffy will just fall for it, most likely for comedic purposes. There's plenty of times where Luffy will fall for dirty tricks, because he genuinely can't tell whether the opponent is lying or not. Just look at his entire fight with Foxy.
Luffy would fall asleep and pass. If he doesn't find something interesting he sleeps, he'd pass simply because they would realize after they passed.
@@afro025 Wait, you mean to tell me that wasn't foxy's sister?
Joseph even before his training actually drew blood from Wammu who’s stronger than Dio was doing their first encounter, he was already a beast before training.
I’m going to be blunt with you; everyone here beats part 1 dio from their outset but jotaro
@@IskandarTheWack Jotaro as a child beat a stand user, if Joseph could beat p1 Dio so could Jotaro
@@IskandarTheWack
laser eyes ice vampire vs quirkless child
@mumenrider1908 That’s not how that works at all. P1 Dio scales way bove a regular grown man and is an immortal vampire with crazy regeration. Even if Jotaro could hurt him he'd just head. Also any physical blow would cause Jotaro to freeze on contact. He's need Hamon which he has mever used with no stand he's getting eaten alive. Literally
@@Deery3911
I'm getting tired of saying this, but Space Ripper Stingy Eyes isn't lasers. It's a pair of extremely high pressure jets of blood and other bodily fluids. You can literally see his pupils open up to shoot out said fluids.
I feel like Asta would be a good fit in this. Dude was built different at the beginning of the series
I’m current reading Black Clover, so if I do a follow up to this he’ll be in it!
Asta i don't think would pass without his swords, but would pass with them, the test i don't think he'd pass mainly because asta is waaaay to hung up on sister lily he'd say sister lily and fail
@@TheSaladBar would be cool! I'd also love to see you take on Edward Erick. I also think it could be fun to look at all the different StrawHats and see how they would fare
Best case scenario Asta reaches the tag stealing part of the exam and loses by being too loud and attracting the entire island
@@MyNamesHunter75 Could have been an alright comment until you had a brainfart at the end.
Yuji Itaodori, who is the modern reincarnation of Gon, passing the Hunter Exam feels poetic. I'd think he'd have a better time, even despite his *unique genealogy*, since he's even more of a freak than Gon. Gon is only better for perception, but in terms of physical strength, Yuji is almost a Janjanken Abuser in terms of how much of an amp he gets from being alive.
[15:06] I think that Yuji would get stunlocked. He wouldn't be able to answer, crying about the nature of not being able to give a good death to either. However, he may pull a Leorio, and jack the woman up. A better question would be whether Yuji would be able to resist trying to save the guy who gets attacked, since he has great hearing. That would be a much better question, since *everyone* deserves a good death.
Can he do the episode 1 fish feat? Doesn’t sound like he could
@@IskandarTheWack That is, like, beyond easy for Yuji, lol.
i dont think he would save his "mother"
I don't think that Yuji would get stunlocked. Whenever characters in JJK ask him a question, Yuji is notably someone who doesn't try to think introspectively about it or try to choose the best result that makes him look good, he just answers bluntly how he feels. Whether that be by Principal Yaga, Todo, those classmates in his class asking which girl he likes, Higuruma, etc, Yuji isn't one to hesitate when it comes to answering questions.
"he's more of a freak than Gon"
I caught that
I feel like if Luffy was asked that question he would answer saying he’d save both and he’d refuse to accept only saving one. He’s never been someone to compromise, he goes all in no matter what, so even if you told him he could only choose one he’d probably insist that he’d be able to save both
Something people dont respect about luffys strength is that the df doesnt just make him able to extend his parts at will. His long stretches are him throwing his arm out that hardand then holding it there. Imagine how hard youd have to throw a punch to jave it extend that far if youre arm was made of rubber. Luffy is a monster.
Exactly, allways remember he one shotted bellamy without using his fruit
I mean, if you consider that Ace as a 10 year old could literally destroy rocks the size of houses and Kufdy is supposed to be an anomaly then it's safe to assume he has insane strength that is overlooked
I mean Luffy in the first 15 chapters of the story literally sent a guy flying to another island. You know how strong you have to be to send someone to another island
@@eonragnarock2366 Luffy was even younger at the time so, considering he's younger only makes him have 3-4 more yrs at the same amount of strength of Ace 😀
I agree on his strength, but I wonder about his durability. Much of his durability also comes from his devil fruit, which lets him absorb or rebound things that would otherwise hurt him. It's hard to say how durable or how well he could take a punch without being made of rubber.
@@michaelbarrington2806 Well considering that everytime Luffy gets hit by a haki punch he's basically a normal human in durability I think he's fine.
Luffy is also above Usopp who gets crushed by 22,000 lbs and is still fine. Usopp also gets his head cracked by a 4 ton hammer and launched through some debris and could still move and fight.
Not to mention Luffy got stabbed by a hook and at the same time lifted and thrown into quick sand. Was buried for don't know how long and still managed to survive long enough until Robin saved him.
In drum island Luffy also climbed a 5,000 meter mountain while carrying 2 people with his bare hands in the cold
All those are durability feats Luffy has without his devil fruit that are before Skypeia.
The scariest part is jotaros durability he took punches from the world yeah he received broken bones but him being alive after that is crazy
Bro punched his way out of the ground in the Wheel of Fortune fight (after being burned alive). He grappled with death when he stopped his own heart just to surprise DIO. He lost liters of blood and broke bones and continued fighting in basically every fight.
In the fight against DIO he survived being stabbed by multiple knives, had his ribs entirely shattered, most likely exhausted from all the running around and stress for the entire day and night even before reaching DIO as he had to go trough the mansion and fight little D'arby, and was crushed by a fucking steamroller and still stood proud in the face of DIO (even if at the last one star platinum helped a lot)
He even survived being on a plane with Joseph, twice
Bro is a menace.

This was a great video, if you make a part 2 could you possibly go over kid Naruto, tanjiro, or even normal saitama pre limit break?
I would have liked to see a rundown of what the individual stages of the exam are (since I don't remember the exact specifics of them all) and more discussion of how their characterization and mindsets would have impacted their chances of passing. Basically that bit at the end with Preliminary question is more of what I'm interested in, that just discussing the pure feats of strength and speed.
(as an aside, for the trick portion wouldn't it have made more sense for them to replace Gon in that group instead of Tonpa?)
Anyway, as for who I'd be interested in seeing for a follow up video: My top most interested choice would be Naruto Uzumaki. But other choices I'd be interested in are Usagi Tsukino, Eren Jaeger, Ichigo Kurosaki, Yoh Asakura, and Denji from Chainsawman
I’ll be going more in depth for the next one!
I wholeheartedly agree on the characters replacing Gon rather than Tonpa since the latter would fall into the same criteria as Hisoka and Illumi being threatening examinees.
My take on each character’s response to the question, fail and pass.
Joseph Fail: I never knew my mom. So I guess I’ll save her. I can’t imagine myself with only one lover. (Strikes a pose. Gets shown the wrong path and leaves to the wrong path)
Joseph Pass: (after giving the question some thought) Next you’ll say! The real path is right over here! (Points to the real path)
Deku Fail: I don’t have a true love so I chose my mom. (Gets shown the wrong path and leaves to the wrong path)
Deku Pass: (mutters to himself all the possible outcomes of the answers) What I passed? Oh, that’s right a possible answer is not answering. (Gets shown the right path and leaves through the right path)
Jotaro Fail: Good Grief. As much as I hate the old hag I still save her. (Gets shown the wrong path and leaves to the wrong path)
Jotaro Pass: … … … (pass and gets shown the right path) … … … (leaves without saying a word)
Luffy Fail: I don’t have a mom, but I truly love my friends so I’ll save them. (Gets shown the wrong path and leaves to the wrong path)
Luffy Pass: Did they ask for help? (Quiz Lady answers: they both did) Then the answer is simple. (Takes hat off and places it on chest. The count down begins and end. Passes and gets shown the right way. Walks a few steps towards the right path and shout) I’ll save them all! (Runs away before he can fail the question)
Goku Fail: (after clarifying what a mother and a lover is) Well gosh that’s a hard question. (Count down starts and Goku starts to panic. It reaches to 1) I chose one! I chose one! (Gets shown the wrong path and leaves to the wrong path)
Goku Pass: (after clarifying what a mother and a lover is) Well gosh that’s a hard question. (Count down starts and Goku doesn’t start to panic. It reaches to 1. Goku doesn’t say anything. The right path is shown. Goku is still not responding) Nope I still don’t understand the question. (The quiz lady and the background characters does the face fault and Goku leaves) Thanks for showing me the right path.
Yuji Fail: My mom is already dead so I guess I’ll save my true love. (Gets shown the wrong path and leaves to the wrong path)
Yuji Pass: Oh, I heard of this type of question before in my occult research club. (Stays silent and is shown the right path) Who knew joining that club would come in handy like this.
Yusuke Fail: What do you mean I can’t pick both! The only saving you need to be asking is if you’re going to be safe from me. (Gets shown the wrong way) Now was that so hard. (Leaves the wrong way)
Yusuke Pass: (Can’t decide on who to choose. The count down starts and ends) What you’re showing me the right way even though I didn’t say anything. (Gets told why he passed) Ha, I knew that all along. I was just playing with you. (Leaves through the right path)
Man, the Goku's and Luffy's examples are really precise. You surely knows well both characters.
Yusuke does have a genetic legacy. But it only triggers in the last season or so after coming into contact with divine energies, so it probably doesn’t change anything except how easy he might awaken Nen in the last phase of the exam
Sort of, it does retroactively explain why he's stronger than other kids his age despite not training or really doing much than would make him that strong.
Yusuke had already had his "nen" unlocked, even in pre-training. Remember that Yusuke was resurrected with, allbeit jaded, spiritual awareness, and he already had his hatsu in the form of guns, and he had an extremely rudimentary lesson on "nen" in his encounter with his POS teachers.
Togashi did not invent "Nen" it's just the Japanese word for psi
or psychic. YYH uses nen and calls it nen. Yuusuke had nen abilities from birth. The manga has many chapters early in that were never adapted
@@Thromaz no no. Hunter Hunter uses "nen". I just put it in quotes because this would just translate to energy, or just Ki in the Yu Yu Hakusho lands.
Deku with Nen would be insane
Honestly they all would.
every mc with nen would be godly
Deku or any Shonen mc with Nen or Hamon would be busted. And if it's Nen and Hamon combined? They're godly.
@@p_rnhub too complicated for Luffy. Naruto would probably just spam something energy blast like ja-janken. The smart MC's would have an edge with nen. People that Jotaro, Deku
@@newt2120lmfao you think Narutos stupid?
Midoriya learning Nen would be scary
He would make hundreds of notebooks about and create a insane contract for him
Let's just say, there is a bit of change in later Yu Yu chapters that might slightly alter the results.
Of course there is 😭 I’m still not too far into it but I’m not surprised I jumped the gun (thanks for not outright spoiling it too)
@@TheSaladBar no spoil but lets just say later in YYH you find out that Yusuke’s not just gonna go out like that
But it still wasn't an innate ability. Yusuke had to go through "that thing" first.
@@aerth6946 It kinda was 'innate' it's just that his body was too weak to get it to activate, it's kinda like if Goku grew up a buddist monk, like no fighting at all til age 80.
not as strong since he didn't 'use' his race powers, I wanna go into detail but also not spoil anything.
SPOILERS
I don't think Yusuke's later genetic reveal would change the exam results. It'd be like Kid Goku getting Super Saiyan or Ultra Instinct.
So glad seeing people recognizing how cracked Deku was even before getting his powers. Dude was pulling off feats of strength our top bodybuilders and strong men would blush at for a guy so tiny.
For real. Not to mention, I was actually baffled seeing bakugo block one of his attacks with his friggin BARE ARMS. 5% one for all would have shattered his arms. And I’m pretty sure Deku was using 8% at that point. Bakugo should have been cooked.
Honestly. Even without One For All, he was already one of the physically strongest members in his class.
The fact thathe somehow wound up at the BOTTOM of aizawa's physical exam against people like toruh who has a quirk that helps nothing or people who do well in only one category
One thing that a lot of people miss is just how strong you can get unrelated to a quirk.
Like Stain's quirk did not make him faster, stronger or tougher but he was able to do pretty well against the three.
Sure his quirk helped but all it did is put them in time out after he injured them.
Like he was able to react to Deku who was using full cowl and moving at speeds faster than any quirkless human can, while hitting with enough force to destroy walls.
The issue for these kinds of comparisons is that these stories take place in heightened worlds that aren’t supposed to be realistic or taken literally. Deku did show some crazy feats but he did poorly in the physical tests once he has OFA - so he scales pretty low compared to the rest of his class without his quirk. He also gets physically overpowered by Shinso without his quirk later on.
Stuff like Bakugo blocking a 5/8% punch is probably a combo of Deku still holding back and rule of cool. Rule of cool is a really big factor in anime - it’s just more exciting if guys like Bakugo can be smashed through walls and be fine or release huge explosions in people’s faces without it just destroying them. Or how about in nearly every Jojo fight they get mortally wounded and as soon as the fight’s over they’re basically fine. Applying too much realism to larger than life power fantasy stories is to take something away from what’s so fun about them.
It's a pretty typical 'protagonist' thing for heroes to not accept or compromise when it comes to saving people - refusing to accept these sorts of "Pick one" situations. SO I find it pretty unlikely for any of these characters to fail that pre-exam, although I don't know Yusuke very well.
Yusuke will do one of wo things
he either will refuse to answer because at the beginning of his series he has that whole 'im too cool' thing going on
or if he does answer he will say he saves both. His series does start with him dying to save a random kid after all.
@@fairystail1 Knowing Yusuke I'd expect him to first and foremost get pissed. He is the only character in the list to have a true love and mother he values immensely which also would lend to his reaction because the idea of them being threatened upsets him. Plus, he's the type to not admit how much he cares about them and would hate thinking about being put in that situation, so he gets mad instead. However, if he were to answer earnestly, he'd probably say he would die for both of them, he's a little quick on the self sacrifice.
@@fairystail1 nope. He would just tell the old woman, "I'll fight with you." Kuwabara would tell him, "Urameshi are you serious??" And then he will respond, "She's a fighter and she's trying to get in our way. I don't care if she's a girl, a baby, or somebody's grandmother. I'll still knock her out!!"
Agreed. Yusuke is the most ill-tempered out of everyone here (Joseph being second place). He’d be the most likely to lose his cool. But he cares about his friends and family deep down; not even considering how he saved a random kid.
I think they'd be alright though, the guy who was punished was being disingenuous in his answer, just choosing what he predicted the 'correct' answer rather than express his own feelings and acknowledge the weight of his decision.
I love these videos. As an amateur writer it really makes me appreciate all the details of the characters I love and helps me understand their similarities and differences.
I'd love to see this type of video with more characters! Good stuff 👌
During your Luffy segment you mentioned Ace’s Devil Fruit, and spoilers ahead but, we know for a fact that ace found his DF after leaving Dawn Island, he found it in the island where he met Masked Deuce(his first crewmate), this was revealed in Ace’s light novel so that may be why you didn’t know but either way, he didn’t have it when he was growing up with Luffy and Sabo
I remember that story getting adapted into a special chapter with a guest artist.
@@ArcCaravan It got made into 3 by Boichi, the mangaka of Dr. Stone.
even if we didn't know about the Ace novel, when Luffy first saw Ace in Alabasta he said "You ate a devil fruit?" which confirms he did eat it after leaving Fusha since Luffy didn't know
@@TertiaryTrashYeah, and Luffy even straight up says on the Going Merry that Ace never had a Devil Fruit all the times they had fought as kids, but he still never managed to beat Ace.
i love how your videos are very creative and are not just stating the ap feats and speed feats and that's it
amazing content man keep it going
Appreciate it!
I’m dropped and like and dropping a comment that’s how much I want to see more videos just like this🙋🏽

No clue about Yuji's "heritage bonus", but Yusuke's bonus feels like it'd appear as much as Kid Goku getting Super Saiyan or Ultra Instinct.
But yusuke's heritage didn't kick in until he had trained enough. Without spirit training he is just a regular human.
14:38 I love how you brought up that question. I feel like Luffy and Itadori would say "I will save both"
This is underrated, keep it up man!!!!!!!! :D
Thank you!
Great video!
Really like your video, one small correction though to what you said about early Deku “he can barely control 5% of One for All at this point”, he actually couldn’t control it at all. He’s literally 0% or 100% until season 2, with a few exceptions where he still doesn’t have a concept of a percentile limitation. The full-cowl technique is a limitation, so I would equate his control over 1-4-All to a post-nen awakened Hunter who has trained with a mentor and possibly even put it in the same category as a nen-condition.
Loved the video man! I think you’re spot on for each one. I think you should do a follow up video on what you believe each of these MC’s Nen affinity would be. That or how their actual abilities from their anime’s would translate into a Nen Hatsu(s). Also the kind of Hunters they’d be. Maybe even how they’d handle the Chimera Ant Arc
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely might do a video like that
@TheSaladBar goku would pass as he literally doesn't know what either of things are as a kid, he would ask, "whats a mother, whats a true love, are they some kind of food?
This is the first realistic comparison of characters in anime I’ve ever seen, congrats.
Wow im shocked you don't have more followers, this is the first of your videos I've seen and your very well spoken and respect spoilers you sir deserve a Sub and I'll be sure to look out for more of your videos in the future!
Jonathan joestar would be hilarious to watch in the exam. Just the monologues alone would make it worth watching.
Would love to see how the rival/beat friend does in the exam
If he does, he better do my main man Kuwabara justice, ESPECIALLY since he has WAAAAY better spiritual awareness. I think he was the top dog in spiritual awareness.
Good video, good information. Interesting idea. It's my First time seeing your stuff but I had to actually turn the playback speed back to 75% on some of it just to follow some of the dialogue. XD
Glad to see someone else finally enjoying YYH. It was my first anime other than pokemon and yugioh and I feel in love. If you do this again maybe use some of the other main characters from YYH?
Goku would not have understood the question but he would think about it so much that he accidentally passes off or complete luck 😂
yippee HxH content :3
if you do another video like this, go into more detail about the different challenges they face and how they succeed or fail and remind the viewer of what happened in the exam as you go.
I loved the video. Although I think stamina might be downplayed in general here. We haven’t seen many of these characters run a distance of over 80km (50 miles). It’s humanly possible, but it’s an incredible feat stamina wise that we don’t see often. Gotta wonder if their endurance can hold out (pushing themselves to endure it absolutely though).
My guess for the trick question is that all of them would pass. All of them think alike and with their own backrounds and character I wouldnt be suprised if they all did all of 2 things for 1 of 3 reasons.
1. They all dont answer because they all think on it TOO HARD or they get too confused
2. They all say that they will save both no matter the senerio
Luffy might just call the test stupid because his friends are strong enough to save themselves.
otherwise yeah he'd pick both.
@@fairystail1 also that.
A lot of those that would 'fail' the trick question would be exempt from failing it for one very important reason; they are Very VERY strong. A not so subtle way to get a hunter license in the Netero era is to impress or beat up Netero himself. Doing so, you can get a license then and there, and probably a single star right off the bat as well.
Granted many of these protags couldn't be netero in arc 1, it'd probably take post timeskip luffy or starting Z goku to do so. Granted luffy and goku would just go 'uuuuh.....' and be stuck on the timer that way.
Ehhhhh goku anytime after training with roshi is too much for netero.
Not to say that netero isn't the goat but... Db powerscaling goes "they break boulders and are scary" in episode 10 to "so we blew up the moon" by the first budokai.
Nice vid :D
Great idea for a video!
Once they get to the riddle, I think you’re right in that Deku and the Joestars will be fine.
If it’s the same group, the rest will be fine as well.
However, if it’s not the same or a similar group, Goku and Luffy are failing for sure.
Yusuke and Yuji are gonna be 50-50 depending on particulars.
~_~
Goku in the thumbnail fr looking like you seeing this shit deku
Deku is not getting past Tonpa
Deku absolutely would tf
Tbh nobody can beat tonpa.
@@ekwensu8797I think they're referring to accepting his drink
Which would cause him to get poisoned and fail
Deku even in the first season could decipher people's attack patterns and predict the thought processes of multiple groups of people. He's definitely not going to be taking drinks from strangers. Tf?
@@toxicflame9783 I like mha, but let's not pretend that deku isn't naive enough to accept tonpas drink. And even with that, OFA probably wouldn't let him get beat by weak poison. But tonpa is a SSS+ god and can beat mereum with his bare hands.
Cool vid man
It would be cool if you could do this with initiation trials for other series. Cool stuff!
Two thoughts, obviously both opinions
1.) This one is for many folks here. I think the trick question is often misunderstood. The correct answer wasn't necessarily to stay silent, but to understand the purpose behind the question. Even though she said they would pass or fail together, it seemed clear to me that Granny was still testing them individually, both on their answers and their characters. Remember, she asked the first guy for the reasoning behind his answer, if he would have gave sound reasoning with conviction he might have still passed, instead of just saying what he though Granny wanted to hear. As for our main group, as soon as she recognized Kurapika figured it out, she forced him to stay silent so she could judge Leorio who already said there was no right answer, but didn't quite understand the meaning of that yet. Leorio's passionate refusal of either answer and quick understanding once he calmed down got him the pass. As for Gon, if he didn't speak up when he did, I suspect Granny would have prompted him for his thoughts and complete non-understanding may still have caused him to fail, but he clearly showed a deeper understanding than even Kurapika to recognize that even if there is no right answer, he might still be forced to make the decision as a hunter anyway. But like I said, I feel like she was judging both answers and characters, so even a complete non-understanding of the question due to purity/innocence like Kid Goku, might still get him a pass because Granny liked meeting interesting people and Kid Goku is definitely interesting lol.
That's just my take at least.
2.) This one is about Yusuke. I feel like @TheSaladBar greatly underestimates Yusuke, not even for anything that happens later in the series as none of that would have come into the equation. Without going deeper into that, Yusuke has come near death many time, but none of that showed up until he could handle it. But as for series start Yusuke, even before he died, he was a street fighting prodigy and from what I remember, his spirit world ordeal didn't buff his attributes at all, not even his spirit energy, he just learned the ability to utilize it as an external force. Also, even if you use post death Yusuke, it wouldn't make much of a difference because he was only able to use his spirit gun once a day and it packed about as much punch as one of his own unless he used the concentration ring to enhance it and using the ring would leave him completely exhausted. With all that considered, base Yusuke still had ridiculous amounts of stamina, resilience, and durability. He was tanking hits that would have killed a normal person and keeping up with the likes of Hiei during their fight. Yusuke's first real training was with Genkai, so if you are considering everything before that point pre-training, Yusuke has definitely shown he can hold his own in a tournament with some pretty powerful opponents that already had a much greater control of their spirit/demon energy. As for Zevil Island, I'm willing to bet that Yusuke would have just beaten on the three Amori brothers and taken their badges lol. If he did have to go up against Hisoka, I think he would have let Yusuke live after sensing his potential and of course Yusuke would pass his test of not running away, no question there. Trick Tower you said he would take the place of Tonpa, so while there would have been different arguments in the group, I can't see him not passing with the rest of the group. Finally with the quiz, I guess I kinda went in reverse order lol, He may or may not pass that as intended. I see him having a similar reaction as Leorio, but answering wrong doesn't disqualify you, Granny would just send you on the "wrong" path. However, as shown in Genkai's tournament, that would not have stopped Yusuke as he would just take the straight path to the tree, because obviously its the "shortest" path :p. It would end much the same and I suspect that just taking that route and making it through would have been enough to convince the Kiriko family to bring him to the exam location.
Again, this is just my take on things.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings and I hope at least someone enjoys reading this mess lol.
6:40 This is a surprise tool that will help us later
I had forgotten that he said that. Yo good ear. You dead just called him out (or rather I'm assuming) for including Goku's genetics in the mix while throwing Yusuke's heritage to the waste. (Spoilers, I guess)
But then again, I'd cut him some slack here since he admits to not yet completing the series.
I definitely would like to see a part 2 with some different Shounen MC's.
Jospeh being the smartest tracks. Out of everyone here, the gap between him and his villains is the largest. If he was just a bit less smart he'd be dead.
Megumi said Yuji could run the ones with all of Tokyo and win before any of his crazy power ups.
Young Goku (Dragon Ball) would brute force his way around. Unless it's some mind games or smarts related he would be stomped.
While Izuku "Deku" (My Hero Academia) would probably be perceptive enough to gather data and solve the problem in his own way.
Luffy (One Piece) is basically an air head who can survive most things, and use his power like Hisoka's Bungee Gum. Straight up chaos.
Jo Star "anyone of them" (Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure) would be basically use all his shonen protagonist swag to "Stand" his ground. Basically mostly using Stand and martial arts combo.
Fusuke (Ninku) a 12 year old ninja, who fights a like a ninja pro... when he is in his serious mode.
Naruto (Naruto) despite being young, and makes mistakes, he's the type that won't give up. And has Kagebunshin to test dangerous areas.
Yusuke (Yu Yu Hakusho) pretty much a delinquent with Spirit Power like a gun. Mostly gunning down and beating anyone senseless in his way.
Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach) Basically Yusuke, but with swords and shinigami magic.
Ryo Saeba (City Hunter), the guy is basically Asian Rambo.
Medaka (Medaka Box) One of the strongest female protagonist of Shonen Jump,
Asta (Black Clover) like most begining story, his sword skills would still be rough, and mostly his sword can cut any "Magic", meaning "Nen" skill could be nullified.
Kenshiro (Fist of the North Star) already over powered if he participated.
Kenshin Himura (Samurai X) he maybe a good swordsman, but with the no kill "humans" hindering him, is nerf in his survival.
Gintoki Sakata (Gintama) basically same as Kenshin, has skill of a "White Yaksha", but mostly gets hits with absurd punchlines and joke events.
Tanjiro Kamado (Demon Slayer) the guy is basically a rookie swordsman, he's instinct and sword skills would awaken during the exam.
Denji (Chainsaw), yeah he fights like a crazy chainsaw wielding serial killer, passing the exam is slim.
Anyway, depending on the variable of the Exam themes, it depends on the strengths and weaknesses if they can surpass those problems. So it's hard for me to gauge the likely hood, especially if all the protagonists are taking the exams in the strat of there stories or them gaining there powers and abilities.
THANK YOU JOSEPH IS SO UNDERRATED. that is all
luffy to Hisoka “Ah you think gum is your ally? You merely adopted the gum. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light of Nika until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”
But he does not even knows what a Nika is.
About last part.
Luffy/Itadory will probably say that they will save both. And will be getting angry at grandma when she will try to say choose only one.
Idk about Yusuke but Goku will just say "I have mom?" or "What is Mom/True love" And can he eat it.
I belive Luffy and itadory will pss due to their Sheer will power to left no one behind.
And goku will fail, because he is just a child that known no harm or evil, and thus cannot be accepted into cruel world of hunters. Or they pass him because he doesnt know anything.
Considering Gon passed despite also being a (relatively) innocent child, Goku's purity wouldn't be a hindrance in that part of the exam.
@@ArcCaravan thats true, but i mean goku doesn't know anything about the world, he was living in a mountains alone, He didnt even knew what a girl is! But point taken.
@@user-wf7nz9go1w Neither did Gon.
@@ArcCaravan Gon, knows what a girl is, Gon have a mom that raised him. Goku is iterally tarzan but he can fight and speak.
@@user-wf7nz9go1w Knowledge of women weren't requirements of the Hunter's exam. And he learned rather quick when he entered society. It wouldn't hinder him in any of the exams.
the moment i saw kid goku, i already knew he was gonna pass
also yuji is just teen gon lmao
Considering how he doesn't know what a mom or true love is, you're right. Unless he gets a clarification of them.
Lamo its funny you mentioned the whole yuski later on reveal. I don't think it technically would change things but there definitely is a massive reveal at the end of chapter black and the start of the last arc.
If you do a video like this again- one specifically about the Hunter Exams I mean- it might be more interesting to explore who you think WOULDN'T pass the exam. Like you said in the video, all of these characters more or less have the right stats and mindset to make this work. Most Shonen protagonist probably do. More interesting would be exploring the ones who, for whatever reason, wouldn't be able to cut it!
Denji for one wouldn’t lol. He’s definitely got the strength for it and skill with using a chainsaw. But he’s a bloody idiot who wouldn’t pick up on any of the subtle tests. If you used him before his hybrid state he’d get outsmarted and killed in the 4th part since his only experience in combat is killing devils in the suburbs and he wouldn’t be able to really sense tricks or strategies from people (And this is being generous in saying that he makes it through Trick Tower).
Even with his Hybrid State he’d flatout end up killing someone in the final part of the exam or making someone bleed to death.
"He's my second favorite behind Johnny."
Ah, a man of culture I see
Dawg Deku's fighting ability and general prowess has got to be a quiek fr. His mental capacity is incredible.
This vid has been recommended to me for the past week, let’s see how solid it is 😎
I’d be interested in seeing Asta or Saitama!
Someone I think would have been really interesting to see is Yuma Kuga from world trigger. Generally, world triggers power level has absolutely no chance compared to other shonen series, but I think it's at least very similar to the beginning of hunter x hunter, maybe a little higher depending on the triggers. Especially personality wise, it would be a really interesting discussion. Also wether or not he'd be able to learn Nen, since Trion isn't something you can "learn" like most shonen powers
I think Midoriya would be naive enough to drink Tonya’s laxative laced juice.
Do more MCs! I recommend Toriko, Senku, Seiya, Sailor Moon, Luke Skywalker, Ippo, Light Yagami, Tanjiro, Takamichi, Naruto, Spike Spegel, Kenichi the Mightest Disciple, Ichigo, Medeka Kurokami, Ryoku Matoi, Speed Racer, Saitama, Taro Sakamoto, Mikami Reiko, Frieren, Dai from DQ, Shinra, Mob, Inuyasha, Hell Teacher Nube, Cardcaptor Sakura, Tohru from Dragon Maid, Yugi, Kirito, etc
Lovely
Light would fail hard i think, he's not physically strong enough to compete he is highly intelligent but without the death note and even with it, he'd be dead before whoever he writes name, i also think he'd be disqualified but he honestly would have helped so much during the ant arc
most of these characters are too Op for it to be interesting. Like Saitama
@@stephaniejohnson5361 the context of the video is that they’d participate as their earlier versions, so probably sweatsuit Saitama who still has hair, Luke right after ANH, Kid Naruto prior to or post Zabuza, any state of Takamichi, etc
@@BasedKuuTooGourmet "any state of takamichi" 💀
I think most people underestimate the runing part of the exam 80 km/~50 miles under 4 hour is insane feat for a normal human. Kenyan athlete Kelvin Kiptum set a men's world record time of 2:00:35 on October 8, 2023, at the 2023 Chicago Marathon. So all the hunter exams basicly ran a record winning marathon back to back.
Love this video, Izuku doesn't get enough credit after his training. He's a beast, and that's him quirkless. I know you might not reply, but I'm wondering how all the MC's interact to each other, based on their personalities.
I'm sorry, but luffy without fruit isn't making it pass the hunters exam
Argument in favor:
His strength is upgraded due the DF
He can't swim
The fruit is Looney Toons powers, so anything that should kill you will kill Luffy
Counter argument:
Luffy can break steal and destroy buildings with his own hands without any build up. "I'm stuck on the tower" just creates his own path.
Luffy isn't slow nor has bad stamina, he can run islands in minutes
Luffy's sense of direction isn't awful like Zoro's, he knows where to go, so he always ends up where he's needed (The times were he doesn't is because he gets captured pr restraint by someone or something)
What about learning Nen?
Probably won't learn it because he is an asswhole to everyone who he isn't interested nor has the patience to do it how Kon did it.
Final opinion:
Removing his DF is always a stupid choice in this type of videos because you don't know where draw the line of "Is normal Luffy? Is he using his DF? He can survive due his DF of because he's strong?"
There is no real precedent for how strong he'd be without a fruit since he ate it as a young child
@@Ro321chile guy learned advanced haki while imprisoned, in poor conditions and in like two weeks. Hes stupid, but being dumb never restricted anyone to learn nen.
Whe probably would jump start it just like Gon. Being hit by a nen attack. And he already survived much more dangerous stuff, he for sure would survive nen awakening.
Luffy and Ace were raised and trained by their grandpa, the hero of the marines they were monsters at a young age. Luffy already had immense raw strength I’d even argue that the rubber fruit probably made him weaker since it made his body more flimsy and rubbery like that’s why it was so hard for him to fight as a kid in the beginning
@@Rasln15 he's shown to learn and mimic skills at a rate unheard of in his own universe. He mastered "shave" aka gear second in just one fight with cp9. Even taking their own technique and improving on it. He's one of those idiot savants. Socially inept and silly but can learn near instantly if he's actually focused and interested.
I would love to see a video where you go part for part in the exam with one of this characters. Not the If, but How would they pass the Hunter Exam.
This is a pretty cool video. If you could do another video detailing each participants performance (including how they’d handle Tonpa, interact with the other participants and proctors, and possible Nen skills and ideas, etc.), it would be so fascinating.
I appreciate how much you’re looking into each character and their reactions to the insanity of the Hunter Exams.
I’d love to see Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach) and Denji (Chainsaw Man) handle the exams. The former has incredible battle instincts and could likely awaken his Quincy abilities during the exams. Plus, his interactions with Killua and Illumi would be phenomenal (given his philosophy on a big brother’s duty). Just make sure to account for how his Shinigami form might cause him to leave his physical body; a potential problem.
Denji would be at a massive disadvantage if you use his chapter one version. Years of malnutrition and abuse from the Yakuza severely hurt his physical condition. Plus, his formal education is near nonexistent though he can be very clever.
This doesn't make any sense. None of these characters besides Goku is capable of running an 80 KM marathon.
Yuji Itadori can definitely do that. even with out sukuna he was bred to be a physical monster
do what if goku actually wasnt as dumb as a rock
Wrong channel
@@TheSaladBar what if goku joined the cartel can you do pls
@@Truckahhmfoh nah 💀
@@Truckahhmf nah, he first needs to make goku giving Barth or evaiding taxes
could be cool if you it as a what if mini, heck if goku was as smart as gohan he'd probably be like the strongest mortal to ever live even surpassing black frieza ( he uses the time chamber even at the start of dbz, learns every single martial art and fighting style, become a master at tactics, and also just trains goten and pan to their max potential)@@TheSaladBar
Tonpa is 100% catching Goku, Luffy and possibly Yusuke with the laxative juice honestly I can see Midoriya’s obsessive personality for heros and all might transferring over to maybe a particular hunter but definitely everything about the exam and possibly knowing about Tonpa the rookie crusher
I liked the video, but I think it would have been a more interesting format to do it in reverse. Instead of talking about each character individually with the whole test, I would have liked you to talk about the individual stages of the exam, and how each character would react to them.
I think it would have made for a better "competition", when any of them could drop out at any stage.
You kind of did this at the end with the preliminary, which I liked.
Where the hell was Tanjiro?
I wondered that too
“It’s going to be about intelligence” Luffys cooked
The fact that you can customize your nen close to your innate trait would really be interest to see if they would keep a similar ability that they have or change it to conpebsate for its weakness like replacing all for one limb disjointing or like if yusuke would enhance his brawling since thats what he really grew up doing more instead of spirit gun
Good on you watching YYH. One of the best shonen anime
We all know luffys ass is getting on that bus at the beginning
I'd love to see a part 2 with some other main characters such as Ed from FMA, one of the Soul Eater kids, and maybe Naruto?
I definitely would like to see a part 2 or maybe a villain's version.
Going in before watching the video, I'd think the marathon would be the biggest hurdle. The hero's from more grounded series may just boy out from exhaustion.
I absolutely want to see more of this. With more nuance if possible, rather than just "probably pass" on all of them. Like in this case, those pass on the first try ranged from "easily without trying or risk of failure" to "probably if they didn't get unlucky and we use a reasonable interpretation of their skills".
You could do a continuation of this video where you give them Nen abilities
Banger
14:38 Kid Goku wouldn’t understand what a mom or love even are since he grew up in a forest on a mountain littered with dinosaurs, monsters, animals, and his grandpa…. Well not anymore but-
lol, Yuji would most likely respond with both, Yusuke would either be silent due to how he’s sort of a delinquent but also not willing to openly show to much affection, or he’d say the true love since he hates his mom lmao
Luffy would just ask more questions about the situation until they just decide to kick him out anyway
