@@thelightseeker94 Exactly this. There is nuance everywhere as it should be. We all are slaves of our own philosophy which we developed by growing individually from each other. HxH understands that. Moreove, Togashi is able to communicate that coherently without pointing fingers.
Hisoka doesn't really do anything truly villainous. By definition, he is not a villain. That man is just a buff weirdo who likes to fight strong people. A villain is Meruem, the Phantom Troupe, etc. Hisoka has only killed minor characters with no relevance to plot, he has yet to kill someone of real importance for is own personal gain, if you don't count Gotoh. At the same time, I'm not saying he's a good guy. But if he you look at his feats, his thoughts, and personality. He's not a villain, just evil.
Also it's evolution was coherent, slow and steady. There were no sudden flips, and when there was a "WAIT A MINUTE WHY" moment, it was because he felt confused about his own feelings and worldview, and few moments later it made sense again
@@isaiascanete6651 an example of out of nowhere character change is Eren,I know the final chapter completely destroyed his character,but I never considered him as a great character
@@amhakas9490 As an anime only I can say nothing yet, I'm intrigued by Eren right now but after seeing all the manga readers reaction I'm gonna wait quietly until the end
@@amhakas9490SPOILERS FOR AOT The Ending of Aot never destroyed Eren’s character he did what he thought was best for Eldia but was self aware that any man who kills billions of innocents can’t have any sort of redemption. In the last chapter his rant to Armin was just him getting all his feelings off his chest and we knew since the rumbling started that Eren gave up on his childhood dreams after touching Historia. Eren was never some cold hearted stoic badass who had his heart behind ever action that’s just what the fan base thought he had become over the time skip. He is an emotional dimwit and has always been one. End of series Eren and beginning of series Eren is the same person just one lost hope and gave up on the dreams that originally kept he moving forward. Isayama even stated in an interview back when season 2 was airing that Eren’s voice actor heavily influenced his writing because of how his voice sounded confident and loud but always had a shakiness to it as if he was bluffing or full of himself.
Oda has been writing one piece non stop for 20+ years and his work is considered by many one of the best stories of all time, not only in japan. Now imagine if Oda had put one piece to hiatus every now and then... I think one piece is better than hxh as is, but if oda had the time to perfect his work like Togashi there is no way people would consider hxh better, of course, in my opinion, but if you have hiatuses of 3~8 years to plan your story i wouldnt consider you a genius...
@@juanmjx lmao hxh was weekly during the Hunter exam and the greed island arc, and nothing in those arcs touched anything in one piece, the only arc that was "great" when hxh was weekly was the phantom truope arc, and that too id only put on water 7 Ennis lobby, the actual writing didn't sky rocket till the chimera arc, and what do u know, that's when togashi stopped being weekly and became monthly to then go on to writing 1 chapter every 5 months
@@KarthikArmstrong No One Piece arc is on Chimera Ant arc level wtf? There's a chance that Togashi would've made better arcs too if he was healthy I say. Like Dark Continent and beyond.
Togashi is an absolute genius. It is just really sad that HxH can't even begin to live up to its potential because of his failing health or just his unwillingness to continue the series after nearly 3 years of hiatus. One piece ending is actually becoming a reality before we even enter the dark continent.
@@joesanders4911 I'm implying that him being able to finish the series is him being healthy. Because a healthy Togashi would finish it. Come on man, i didn't have to spell it out.
HxH is one of my all time favorites, top 3. It's either that or Berserk and I don't wanna pick. But it's far from a masterpiece. In fact, as great a job the 2011 staff did, I can only imagine if this had the modern shounen seasonal treatment. Years back MadHouse had to haul ass to pump out episodes on a weekly basis. Imagine if they had more time to work on this.
@@X3MAntics In my opinion HxH is as close to a masterpiece as a manga/anime can come to. Nothing is really without flaws but HxH is the best, especially amongst shounen action manga/anime. It is leagues above the rest imo.
@@KON853 yyh could never stay interesting for 1000 straight chapters. And ever since chapter 1000 One piece is in a different atmosphere from every other manga. Don't forget they did Kuwabara like they did Gohan, that would never happen in one piece
@@tystuntin oh is that so considering the fact that a single arc in yu yu hakusho specifically the dark tournament one of the greatest anime arcs of all time is better than the entirety of one piece and it only got better from there
That is so true. Legit the only antagonist he wrote that i thought was "meh" was Genthru, and even then it's not like he was the "focus", not like a Toguro or a Sensui or a Meruem or a Chrollo etc.
While I can agree with this sentiment for the 5 - 10 villains that are great there are 20-25 not as good villains because of the sheer amount of villains he uses so to be fair his track record would look like at lowest 5/30 great villains and at highest 10/30 and I feel like there are authors that introduce good not necessarily great villains and introduce less villains and would have technically a better track record as track records imply numbers while I’ll agree the togashi villains are the highest of echelons some of his weaker villains are pretty low tier examples being some of the lesser cimera ant commanders such as cheetor (the only real one I can remember that’s how bad they are and one noted they are) if we are talking antagonists I also think the territorial antagonists that become allies def are very low tier. I’m not saying that he’s a bad writer in fact I think some of his villains are some of the best in manga or at the very least up there but with track records you have to take into account the lesser villains too and togashi has a butt load of them
Togashi is so legendary that even if he doesn’t finish hxh he will never be forgotten. His work is just too good that every new generation will love it
Personally for me, the series finish well on episode 148. I kinda see the rest of the manga as spinoff. Yes, its cope but ep 148 is quite a good ending and ties things up nicely
@@Anhiksi I agree. Those shonens are quite underwhelming but we still have Jujutsu Kaisen which utilizes the shonen tropes very well and Chainsaw Man with its weirdness.
I’ve watched this video TWICE because of the talent and time this brother put into his opinion on the greatness of Togashi. I can watch and listen to King of Lighting for HOURS because he is entertaining and we both share the same opinion on a lot of things. But what I really want is a video of King explaining the greatness of Nen and how it is used in different situations.
The 2011 anime adaption of the Chimera Ant Arc is a damn master class in building hype specifically the buildup to the invasion. The narrator as well just made that backend of that arc top notch

@@KaiserReb Actually you're wrong, he's a villain not an antagonist since Meruem's journey as a character has nothing to do with Gon-the protagonist. Read the definition of what an antagonist in storytelling is then come again.

Togashi, The Man who made The Quintessential Tournament Arc, Arguably The Quintessential Power System and The Quintessential Antagonist. He is a True Legend!!

Anyone else Still trying to decipher the last 10 chapters? Good Lord There is so much going on in the manga its hard to keep it all together in your head.
The Dark Tournament was so good that Togashi wasn't even able to replicate how good it was in HXH even though there are like three different tournaments that technically happen in it. That is how legendary the Dark Tournament happens to be, at least imo.
Well the thing is : he never tried to replicate the dark tournament in HxH in the first place... Heaven's arena is a training arc and the start of nen journey.
@@Kyrrua_ So you'd be right I'd my comment was talking about CONTENT, but my comment was about the QUALITY. And there is no way you can say Togashi wouldn't want to replicate the quality of that arc. No one tries to copy another tournament arc anyway, yet all tournaments get judged against one another.
@@JadenYoshinaru What I meant is that there was no place to replicate any "great tournament" in HxH storywise. And in term of quality chimeras ants > dark tournament. But both are the best arcs ever created anyway.
@@Anhiksi if a good anime adaptation is determined by how well an anime takes the source material and conveys it, in many ways it has passed HxH if were honest. It has gorgeous animation, great music, awesome voice acting, and good pacing. HxH has these as well of course, but jujutsu animation is something else. As for looking at them independently of their manga, meaning looking at them as anime vs “anime adaptations” I still like HxH more, with characters, world building and nen power system. However, if I’m honest, comparing jujutsu first 25 episodes versus HxH (yes including the hunter exam which I love) I have gotten more attached to characters and more hype in jujutsu kaisen than HxH
You had me at Yu Yu Hakusho. That was a great anime and manga. I want Yu Yu Hakusho to come back. Or maybe even an anime reboot with some new art style. I can dream
They released a new ova a couple years back. I thought there was reports of more in the works and I thought this (even for Togashi) extended hiatus was because he was helping in small part with that. But I've heard nothing since so I don't know. Doesn't look like we're that lucky.
Rewatching HxH rn, it's impressive how naturally it progresses but every arc is so different from the last. I would say it's the best manga/anime ever made, though first half of One Piece holds a place in my heart. Madhouse did a superb job putting it together too.
If Oda spent a decade to write a Wano, like Togashi spent writing the Chimera Ant arc, this conversation would not be happening. Fans really don’t understand how much it benefits Togashi quality of work that he isn’t weekly. Oda is the GOAT because of longevity and consistency, along with the fact that he has the most detailed fictional world in manga. Togashi is a masterclass writer, but unfortunately he isn’t healthy. Just more reason why I appreciate Oda. It sucks not seeing the dark continent, but I would be heart broken if Oda never completed One Piece.
@@Anhiksi That’s my point. Togashi isn’t a weekly author, so yeah, I expect a higher quality of writing when you’re writing a chapter monthly to semi-monthly. Oda has nearly as consistent of a story as HxH while being a “weekly” manga writer. That is far more impressive in my eyes, especially in a story with over a thousand chapters. I love Togashi’s work, but his lack of availability makes me appreciate Oda’s consistency and longevity of work even more, especially as a weekly author. The fact One Piece isn’t full of plot holes like Naruto, or made a complete mess of its final arcs like Bleach is amazing as a weekly author.
@@Kcobra99 by that logic Hiro Mashima who has created over 120 volumes so far and is planning on his 4th big series while creating his 3rd is the greatest mangaka...
@@Anhiksi I clearly said CONSISTENCY and longevity, as in how consistent is the author quality of work along with how long the author has been writing overall. Fairytale may be long, but it’s low tier quality compared to Yu Yu Hakusho, HxH, or One Piece. Fairytale is also no where near the top selling manga even though it has been around forever.
@@felipewadhwani8084 I kinda agree while I’ll agree his art style is problematic to some. I also have to say in writing ability he’s almost untouchable with the one author you mentioned being oda the only other real contender however the one thing I personally think is I think he should’ve been a light novel writer because while yes his story telling is great if your going to have 75% of the page at minimum be words you would be better off just writing a book so I personally think he’s a great author but a not as good mangaka simply because I think overall his strengths would hit more home as a light novel writer in that case I would have absolutely 0 complaints and I think it would be as close to perfection as possible
@@Steelersrg8 I've read succession war and dark continent and I've found the togashi includes far too many words. I believe togashi would've been better as a light novel writer
I wish togashi did more yu yu hakusho. I remember reading a part in the manga where they mention kuwabara’s dad and that he may have had some connection to the spirit world.
There was so much in yu yu hakusho that got rushed or cut. Especially towards the end. The only reason why people dont notice or talk about it more is because Togashi still wrote it out so well that whats not there is so inconspicuous and what is there is satisfying.
@@TheKaienshibasnejiba exactly. I’ve told countless of people who just start out watching anime and only know dragon ball. I’m like dude, If the writer of yu yu never got sick early. Yu yu hakusho would be like the dragon ball of its time but 10x better.
@@hype876 Easily! If you gave him the health and enthusiasm of Oda, who knows how long or big Yu Yu Hakusho wouldve been. Its still considered one of the best shonens and it ends pretty weak. And weak endings really hurt series like this.

@@tenryunaito3763 Exactly, Toriyama is not the best writer obviously, but he was pretty good in his prime. To me DB is overrated and underrated at the same time, overrated in a sense that alot of DB fans can't accept criticism about the anime/manga or they think it's the best manga of all time. Underrated in a sense that people assume DB has no redeeming writing qualities whatsoever, and alot of people have bullshit takes about DB claiming that it has no character development, characterization etc.
@@FlyingMonkey208 OMG, I also think DB is over/underrated. This what happens when the series attracts so many casuals but also people who have black and white mindsets where DB is either brainless entertainment or some kind of criticism-worthy masterpiece. DB has enough substance to be taken seriously while also being largely fun and easy to get into. There are middle grounds, people.
@@ugobrown2357 The whole thing with eren deteriorated. His character built up so much in the 1st 3 seasons. I wanted him to explore the ”coordinate” and utilize it to end the war against their nation. Why destroy his character with the rumbling like that? Bad move honestly

eren was only overrated by people who thought that his character arc was supposed to be about him being a "chad" but really eren wasn't never meant to be a cool character but just a good one.
Yep, I have to agree. When it comes to power systems, HXH nailed it, in terms of concept, explanation and practicality. No other anime even comes close to it.
Tbf if he does have it, Hunter X Hunter might not be as good as it is now. Simply because it's difficult to have a consistent story for a weekly manga and also given how yyk was has towards the end also makes my point
@@JonJon-wc6pj i'm 100% certain it's not a creative block thing. just with the pieces togashi set in the last 50 chapters , he has the storys general direction for least the next 100 chapters already. And it is welo known he has chronic back pains since his yuyuhaksho days
Seeing this title I know the hiatus is going to hurt even worser now.. Yu Yu hakusho made my childhood & HxH was one of my greatest ever anime watch through ever... The current manga arc I would argue if complete would beat most current shonen arcs..The crazy part about that is the current arc is on a side trip & not even a man goal💯
Mad respect to you kol been watching you since your "moving on to better things" fairy tail video. Started watching hxh recently and have almost finished it, also watched some of your other recommended anime (toriko, magi etc). Keep up the good work man. Also Togashi goated
HxH is fan service, done right. Its not too tryhardy or predictable. For ex, when pitou took gon to kite. You tell yourself "i want gon to brutally kill pitou" so u feel/know, gon is gonna do some rock paper rock x1000 type shii. U kinda already know. But u never expected gon to mf sacrifice his OWN MF NEN...HES INSTANTLY EOS LEVEL POWERFUL. AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?! he proceeds to brutally kill pitou. Still speechless 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Most underrated scene imo. A brother and sister get eaten by chimera ants. They get seperated. Then in the end, she's reunited with her mom. Duuuude i remember saying "please dont leave her alone, even tho she look like a monster, thats a little kid. Thats a little girl" then togashi gives her a good ending... Bru 😌👌
@@stonefree7973 No Togashi is a lazy sod. Oda has worked his arse off all these years for his fans and still writes a brilliant Manga. Togashi could learn a lot about work ethics from Oda.
@@deborahwhitney9427 Oda's work ethic comes with a variety of health problems. The manga industry is a demanding field infamous for overworking. Just because Oda constantly releases chapters doesn't mean he's healthy. Togashi's hiatuses are his way of staying healthy and safe, and we should respect that.
@@jonahmckay You try making a manga on a weekly basis, or any long term writing project that isn't a fanfiction. I get you love Oda, but his work ethic should not be treated like he's a god.

Bro, I had such a good time watching this video. Definitely got my sub. This my first impression of your content fam and all I can say is DEFINITELY keep pushing. I’m looking forward to more of your work.
im rewatching yu yu hakusho right now. approaching the conclusion of the dark tournament. the thing that makes yyh special is that it has over 100 episodes and not a single boring one. it's honestly my 6th favorite anime right behind dbz. gonna watch hxh 2011 on netflix next and honestly if it exceeds yyh, i can agree with togashi being the god of shonen.
Been waiting for a video like this m. There’s not other Mangaka as good a storyteller as Togashi IMO. Dude knows when yo let scenes linger & knows how to portray emotion without the use of dialogue
Togashi is really an insane mangaka but Oda is just special man , creating such a huge detailed world with countless amazing characters and plot points , making the largest set up for an end game in shonen , excels in comedy , drama and tying real world struggles with the story and a lot more. One piece isn't perfect like any other piece of fiction but the good points heavily outweigh the bad ones resulting in what's imo the best shonen manga and arguably the best manga period .
Oda and Togashi are neck and neck for me because to me Oda has peak worldbuilding while Togashi has peak character writing. If I had to decide I'd give it to Oda and that's mainly fir his consistency in writing over 20+ years in his career.
They're definitely great, it all comes down to preferences. Personally, good and deep characters are my main point of interest in any fiction I consume (anime, books, movies, wtv). So One Piece has fallen down my ranks of favorite manga/anime considerably since my teenage years, character development being it's weakest point. HxH is truly on another level on that front in the shonen world. Only rival would probably be FMA as far as I know (I'm not considering AoT shonen). I still enjoy One Piece immensely and its world building is truly one of the best if not the best among its competition. It's very good at setting up intense dramatic moments, as you said, and the story flows so smoothly. And the one thing OP will always have over HxH, independently of opinions: it's going to be completed 🙃
You just called one piece the best manga probably period. You are indeed a fucking idiot. I hate the OP fanbase. Like man how tf do you read OP and think it’s the goat of manga. Idc if I seem toxic. I love manga and entertainment as a whole and one piece is not even a top 5 Manga of all time. Y’all need to read more. Even tho this is my opinion. This is the right opinion. One Piece good but damn no where near the best.
I completely disagree on the worldbuilding point, showing off a map that is unexplored without knowing even a little bit about it or exploring it to some degree might as well be just that, a map. It's more of a roadmap at this stage not really something that I could attribute to "worldbuilding" yet. It's like when you write a book and you build a story and you simply show people a world map of said world and give them a little note to it, and I don't think Togashi did enough here to warrant such praise. As much as I also like HxH it's kinda weird to see how much praise it gets for its worldbuilding and even power system, while I agree that it's pretty good in those aspects, it's not majorly outstanding.
Fair enough man but if you're gonna say that you at least gotta point us to some alternatives that do those things better. Especially the power system I just don't see any real competition there.
@@skylerpeters4997 The issue with that is that I believe that the Nen System overall is held in a way to high regard for some reason, as I said I don't think it's bad, I believe it is very good, but people put it up to be the pinacle of writting, when it reality I believe that it practically falls on the same level as any other shonen power system. So I can't give you a specific example, because I think a lot of them are damn near equal. But if I had to choose which power systems I believe to be the best at current, it would be Jujutsu Kaisens for their Domains and Cursed Energy AND One Pieces Haki system. (I am well aware of how much people seem to dislike Haki or think it's a stupid system, but I believe that it is one of the most basic and believable systems that also has a lot of intrigue to it, whereas HxH's nen could easily be replaced as "Magic" and it would be the same pretty much) Maybe I like Haki so much because I see a potential of Conquerer Haki to be used in such a creative way of which it currently is not, so I might be biased on that one. (What I mean by that is that I see Conquerer Haki be possibly set up as having it's own individual use for each user, meaning there obviously is the most basic steps of it where users can knock them out using it or intimidate them, but also develop it into a system similar to Nen, obviously not as in-depth but still unique to its user) But again, in terms of near pinnacle in current writting of a power system I would give JJK the upper hand.
@@skylerpeters4997 The problem is, something that is more complicated and more detailed isn't necessarily better then something that is more simple. As an example, both Chimera Ant arc and Phantom Troop arc are considered the best arcs of all time. However what about Heavens Arena and Greed Island. Both are teaching arcs that lead us up to the other arcs. However both those arcs are considered boring and not interesting by Hunter X Hunter fans. " Wait until we get to the good parts" they say. Even the training with Knuckle and Shoot is considered a low point of the Chimera ant arc. Ok then lets remove all those parts that people don't like, what do we get, just characters clashing with their powers and abilities. So from that info, it isn't the system that makes them like the series its more the results of that system. Therefore the system of Nen in Hunter x Hunter doesn't really need to be their for them to like it. People praise it for being more complicated, but actually don't like the complicated inner workings of the system. So it isn't really better then any other system's that just have those powers and abilities without detail explanation.
Because in terms of writing he can't compare to the other two in terms of character development and world building. He can't even remember his own characters ffs 😅
@@LJAndrews1986 true i agree, but I'd say db has good world building and dbz has good character writing, but I agree overall togashi and oda are superior imo
you guys don't get it. Togashi took this time off to finish the worldbuilding for the dark continent. He must be like Tolkien at this point. Maybe after his death we will find his Silmarillion to. That's what I like to believe.
he has back problems , and he wants to spend more time with his family instead of slaving away. He also refuses to get assistants which i can understand due to the YYH situation.
@@bootyhunter2896 3 years is a very long time with ZERO chapters, it also isn't just 3 years. It's all the long hiatuses he took before that, it all adds up
He may be a genius but let's be honest. If he were to be a weekly shonen jump author with little to no breaks, his work would be much worse. Or vice versa, if other shonen jump authors could take as much time as they'd like to, they'd also be better. I hate how the industry is so geared towards money instead of quality.
I think you are missing the mark here. Togashi put out Yorknew before any mayor hiatus and that arc was already on another level. He said in a lot of interviews that he has the basic story in paper, it's not like he is taking years and years to write stuff, he just can't sit to draw.
@@Hyde_Lawrence That's true. But I stand by the stance that with hiatus like his, you do have more time to think about your story and reconsider ideas and concepts. Also you gain experience as you age and that also is an advantage. Obviously, as I also previously wrote, he is a genius. It's not his first work where he proves to be an excellent writer. Thank you however for adding to the discussion. It's much appreciated. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!:D
@@Mani_Katti Oh for sure , the hiatus surely makes the story better . But if he can make Arcs of YNs quality without needing hiatus ,then he is still IMO above ANY shonen mangaka i've seen for me.
@@idirbouchdoug1567 Absolutely, that's what I commented on in the replies! Before HxH he even wrote Yuyu Hakusho, which is a masterpiece as well. My comment was oddly written now that I reread it after months. It was moreso targeted at the consumer heavy industry. I believe that every manga should be biweekly or even monthly. They could still write the same amount of pages (~10-15 per week) but have more time to consider and reconsider their ideas.
@@asterix5084 Each to his own, but I quite enjoyed the through explanations of each moving piece. As for Gon, the transformation made sense given the internal logic of the story so I don't see how it could be considered an asspull.
Highly doubt it. The last time he went on hiatus for almost 2years he dropped 20 chapters . i'm saying at least 10 chapter this time since tyere was corona
Stop the cap. We've all seen the amount of breaks togashi took in order to complete the chimera ant arc( 8 years) and even though its an amazing arc , we've seen oda pull of multiple arcs in the spam of the same time with consistent story telling and amazing world building. Cant ignore the almost 25 year grind. Overall id give the title to Oda and its not even a comparison.
Oda is the best Mangaka in my opinion. I understand that people like the ability explanations in hunter but for me it takes away form me action and I don't want a author to overexplain it for me, I prefer to figure it out myself. But for all people who prefer Hunter X Hunter I pray for Togashi's health and hope the Manga continues soon :D
I'd pick prime Toriyama and Togashi over Oda easily, as great as One Piece is, It hasn't reached the highs of Marineford since and in my opinion is showing worrying signs of not being able to progress the main cast in a satisfying way. It's cool to see Luffy fight with the top dogs of the verse but it feels like Oda himself is dragging the crew out of every situation instead of giving them the tools to save themselves. That being said one solid training arc can still change things and I hope we get it.
@@markuslehtimaki7757 Could agree with you on that, the scabbards have gotten to much attention and it have hurt the strawhats progression and the story. But to early to say if it will be worth in the end or not. Because I believe the final battle will be amazing. Also if you reread One Piece it's usually not a problem. At least compared to when you read it weekly with years of none progression for some of the crew, it feels very bad. I have reread One Piece 56+ times and usually isent a problem, you enjoy the story in another way then. But I 100% agree that it haven't reached Marineford level since the timeskip and the lack of time with the strawhats is a negative for the series currently.
@@kingdraco4813 im not saying whether you like vagabond more than HxH and OP or not. I'm saying both inoue and urasawa have had multiple (more than 2) top tier works. Looking at your other comment, I'd say even if scabbards have had too much attention, they still have failed to carry much emotional impact on this arc. Oda wrapped all scabbards' backstories cheaply in a single chapter and I wouldn't really care if any of them died... except maaaybe kinemon.
Sorry kol, but the man can't end a series to save his life. He is like a great sprinter who always trips before the finish line. To each their own though I guess
It doesnt matter to me if he finishes when his current finished work (390 chapters) is the best i've seen in shonen by a sizeable margin. He is like a sprinter that surpasses all the othrmer sprinters in the race but then trips towards the end , ymhe still surpassed the others when he was sprinting and that should be recognised.
HUNTER X HUNTER is almost seinen + shounen Has that sense of mystery And the universe is original with its own language and names and incorporates so many variety elements like psychological element, archeology, extreme examples of people and culture like jyro, mereum who is extremely op, netero's meditation backstory, and meteor city which is a garbage dump and yet produced very strong mercenaries and thieves feared throughout the hxh world. The character progression and world building never seen anything like it. Even the character personalities for each character is so unique when compared to one piece characters which all have kinda similar personalities like whitebeard, roger and luffy = almost same personality, and villians kinda same personality,, In hunter x hunter All the bad guys are unique and different and how they are being introduced in the series is so uniquely awesome,,, Madhouse Studio also Provided the best animation, The music direction was spot on, the osts, the color pallete, the animation direction, the effects, the narrator, DAMN One of the best Things In HUMAN HISTORY! TOGASHI PLEASE!!!!!
For years I doubted hxh, I always heard the praise but never thought it could live up to the hype. It's ironic as a die hard one piece fan that the praise from the fanbase and the art style were the main things keeping me from giving it a proper chance. Until last month. I'd never made it through the hunter exam before, but after getting to the Zoldyck family stuff I could not turn it off.... Savouring each and every page I have left of the manga now 😂 Thanks for the recommendation everyone !!
Before I really hate it when I see the " hiatus " on the chapter's/news I'd be pissed on Togashi, after what has transpired with Miura, Rest in peace, I am totally fine him having a hiatus he still human especially his health condition and to be with his family. Hope he lives longer
If HunterxHunter had just continued and maybe finished by now, It would *be* the *GREATEST ANIME RECOMMENDATION* in *HISTORY* . In a timeline where its still going and probably heading towards its endgame, I envy our alternative selves enjoying the heck out of this series.😭
I will give the GOAT status to Oda. I'm sorry, but if Oda had time to perfect his story writing... I know his levels of greatness will increase exponentially! And, his level of greatness is already immense... which means that it really is scary to imagine what Oda could write if he's given time... Togashi is still a genius nonetheless,
@@shshshs2 Uh... and why do you think that is?... Yes, because he writes weekly! How hard is it to understand that time is a big thing while writing!?... I can't be the only person who actually understands how time benefits Togashi... LOL. Do you even know that Hunter x Hunter is as old as One Piece, but One Piece has 3 times the amount of chapters!? Ask Togashi to do that. He will tell you that is madness! He even said in an interview before that his writing had benefited greatly when he became a monthly mangaka, for god's sake! Also, now all of a sudden Hunter x Hunter is this perfect holy grail of a manga!?... It has its flaws! The same as any other manga.
@@elgincraley3010 lol If you seriously think One Piece does not have great storytelling than you are either a moron or biased as hell because of butthurt.
*Smooth Brain:* come on now, is Meruem THAT good of a character? *Me:* Meruem had an amnesia arc and not only it kept it's quality as a character, but came out of it BETTER!...name another character that has had amnesia and managed to avoid a quality drop.
Thank you so so much King! I have just checked out the hiatus calendar of HxH yesterday bc I felt so sad and then I discovered that there are fans on that website who post EVERY SINGLE DAY which date it is and that they still wait for HxH. I’m with you, my King.
Bro it’s so weird I just recently finished yu yu hakusho and WOW. It’s so fucking amazing and I already have seen hunter x hunter and now KOL drops this video what a coincidence
@Nigel Castelino you're kind of making KoL's point for him. Oda has had about 30 years to make his story good. Togashi's stories can arguably be considered better and it was done so in only a fraction of the time lol
@@PhantomPein 30 years to make it good? I mean, when OP became "good" or not is more of a subjective thing. Also, it's about 24 years from now, but whatever. And plus, didn't it take Togashi many years (with months off) to plan and complete the Chimera Ant arc? Oda with his story can't afford to have that kind of luxury. It's literally week after week with him, even in the hospital beds. In fact, I don't know if there are many mangaka that can afford that. The stories are different and one mangaka with one series is competing with a guy who made two series with massive amount of time for planning. Every story has things that others may or may not like. I think Togashi is a better writer, but I think Oda is a much better mangaka. Comparing to someone who can take years and years off to plan, I'd have to give Oda more respect in only certain avenues. And yeah, I know, quality over quantity, but still. Togashi getting boatloads of leeway has to be taken into account.
@@theloserkilljoy1025 You have some valid points. However, only when it comes to HxH. YuYu is an entirely different beast altogether. You can not make such an argument with YuYu Hakusho. It was created, fleshed out, and completed in a timely manner. Imagine if he was writing that story for 30 years. It would be far and above anything any Mangaka past or present could've even attempted to create.
@@PhantomPein Can't say that for sure. Whether a series gets better or not if it keeps going on can only be seen if its actually done. OP was regardes as amazing in the pre timeskip and when it kept going for another decade, quite a few people are saying it's too long and overdone, although lots are saying otherwise. I can't just say YYH or HxH would "hands down be far and above anything any mangaka could yadda yadda", because the proof is in the pudding. And there is not much pudding. But if you believe that, you're free to 🤷♂️.
I recommend you KOL to read and watch "World trigger" before it's too late. One of the best Power system and World building in shonen that can equally good to HxH. The neighbors from different planets is a galaxy level of World building and they're not even explore yet which it has been hyped for years.

The parallels of Netero reaching enlightenment are very integrated into his design, moves, and personality. He attempts to loose his ego yet he keeps one strand of hair to signify his small ego/humanity still left before killing another being. He understands that to be the chairman you may have to loose your morals for the greater good. His final attack Guanyin Bhodhisattva shows an enlightened being crying. Showcasing Neteros true failure to reach enlightenment over his humanity. Which then leads to him killing himself with a demonic face like he is revealing who he truly is deep down. One most amazing shows and character designs Beautiful
Indeed. That last move also explain what and why he able to keep his nerve through out the fight ..since at the end of the day he know that he will get the job done one way or another. Is that a coward or a brave move it's up to the viewer.
togashi's characters are so good you focus on his antagonists but forget his protagonists are also GOATS. like his characters across the board are everything. then there's ToGoatshi's storytelling, look no further than episode 1 of Yu yu hakusho and meruem. 1000% agreed togashi the GOAT and oda next

That fact we don’t even see Hisoka as a villain still blows my mind...
This is true
Gon is not even a hero. Nobody is really a "hero" in HxH everyone has their own sense of morality. Which is what makes it such an interesting series.
@@thelightseeker94 Exactly this. There is nuance everywhere as it should be. We all are slaves of our own philosophy which we developed by growing individually from each other. HxH understands that. Moreove, Togashi is able to communicate that coherently without pointing fingers.
Hisoka doesn't really do anything truly villainous. By definition, he is not a villain. That man is just a buff weirdo who likes to fight strong people. A villain is Meruem, the Phantom Troupe, etc. Hisoka has only killed minor characters with no relevance to plot, he has yet to kill someone of real importance for is own personal gain, if you don't count Gotoh. At the same time, I'm not saying he's a good guy. But if he you look at his feats, his thoughts, and personality. He's not a villain, just evil.
Gon only became a hero after joining the Chimera ant extermination but he wasn't a full pledged hero he's just a kid protagonist.
I think the reason Meruem is soo good is because we saw his whole life, he developed his whole character from 0 to 100 in like a month!
Also it's evolution was coherent, slow and steady. There were no sudden flips, and when there was a "WAIT A MINUTE WHY" moment, it was because he felt confused about his own feelings and worldview, and few moments later it made sense again

The Ending of Aot never destroyed Eren’s character he did what he thought was best for Eldia but was self aware that any man who kills billions of innocents can’t have any sort of redemption. In the last chapter his rant to Armin was just him getting all his feelings off his chest and we knew since the rumbling started that Eren gave up on his childhood dreams after touching Historia. Eren was never some cold hearted stoic badass who had his heart behind ever action that’s just what the fan base thought he had become over the time skip. He is an emotional dimwit and has always been one. End of series Eren and beginning of series Eren is the same person just one lost hope and gave up on the dreams that originally kept he moving forward. Isayama even stated in an interview back when season 2 was airing that Eren’s voice actor heavily influenced his writing because of how his voice sounded confident and loud but always had a shakiness to it as if he was bluffing or full of himself.

Togashi’s track record with antagonist is damn near unparalleled
That is so true. Legit the only antagonist he wrote that i thought was "meh" was Genthru, and even then it's not like he was the "focus", not like a Toguro or a Sensui or a Meruem or a Chrollo etc.
While I can agree with this sentiment for the 5 - 10 villains that are great there are 20-25 not as good villains because of the sheer amount of villains he uses so to be fair his track record would look like at lowest 5/30 great villains and at highest 10/30 and I feel like there are authors that introduce good not necessarily great villains and introduce less villains and would have technically a better track record as track records imply numbers while I’ll agree the togashi villains are the highest of echelons some of his weaker villains are pretty low tier examples being some of the lesser cimera ant commanders such as cheetor (the only real one I can remember that’s how bad they are and one noted they are) if we are talking antagonists I also think the territorial antagonists that become allies def are very low tier. I’m not saying that he’s a bad writer in fact I think some of his villains are some of the best in manga or at the very least up there but with track records you have to take into account the lesser villains too and togashi has a butt load of them
I also think elder togoro is pretty weak but that may be a unpopular opinion

The Dark Tournament was so good that Togashi wasn't even able to replicate how good it was in HXH even though there are like three different tournaments that technically happen in it. That is how legendary the Dark Tournament happens to be, at least imo.

@@Kyrrua_ So you'd be right I'd my comment was talking about CONTENT, but my comment was about the QUALITY. And there is no way you can say Togashi wouldn't want to replicate the quality of that arc.

@@varunnarayanswamy8084 you dont actually believe that do you
@@Anhiksi if a good anime adaptation is determined by how well an anime takes the source material and conveys it, in many ways it has passed HxH if were honest. It has gorgeous animation, great music, awesome voice acting, and good pacing. HxH has these as well of course, but jujutsu animation is something else. As for looking at them independently of their manga, meaning looking at them as anime vs “anime adaptations” I still like HxH more, with characters, world building and nen power system. However, if I’m honest, comparing jujutsu first 25 episodes versus HxH (yes including the hunter exam which I love) I have gotten more attached to characters and more hype in jujutsu kaisen than HxH

They released a new ova a couple years back. I thought there was reports of more in the works and I thought this (even for Togashi) extended hiatus was because he was helping in small part with that. But I've heard nothing since so I don't know. Doesn't look like we're that lucky.
@@TheKaienshibasnejiba thanks for letting me know. I haven't seen that OVA. What's it called? Hopefully we get more in the future
Rewatching HxH rn, it's impressive how naturally it progresses but every arc is so different from the last. I would say it's the best manga/anime ever made, though first half of One Piece holds a place in my heart. Madhouse did a superb job putting it together too.
If Oda spent a decade to write a Wano, like Togashi spent writing the Chimera Ant arc, this conversation would not be happening. Fans really don’t understand how much it benefits Togashi quality of work that he isn’t weekly. Oda is the GOAT because of longevity and consistency, along with the fact that he has the most detailed fictional world in manga.
Togashi is a masterclass writer, but unfortunately he isn’t healthy. Just more reason why I appreciate Oda. It sucks not seeing the dark continent, but I would be heart broken if Oda never completed One Piece.
if oda spent a decade writing wano, then we wouldnt even be at wano. you do realize hxh is at ch. 391, not 1000000.
@@Anhiksi That’s my point. Togashi isn’t a weekly author, so yeah, I expect a higher quality of writing when you’re writing a chapter monthly to semi-monthly. Oda has nearly as consistent of a story as HxH while being a “weekly” manga writer. That is far more impressive in my eyes, especially in a story with over a thousand chapters.
I love Togashi’s work, but his lack of availability makes me appreciate Oda’s consistency and longevity of work even more, especially as a weekly author. The fact One Piece isn’t full of plot holes like Naruto, or made a complete mess of its final arcs like Bleach is amazing as a weekly author.

Seeing this title I know the hiatus is going to hurt even worser now.. Yu Yu hakusho made my childhood & HxH was one of my greatest ever anime watch through ever... The current manga arc I would argue if complete would beat most current shonen arcs..The crazy part about that is the current arc is on a side trip & not even a man goal💯
Mad respect to you kol been watching you since your "moving on to better things" fairy tail video. Started watching hxh recently and have almost finished it, also watched some of your other recommended anime (toriko, magi etc).
Keep up the good work man.
Also Togashi goated
Daamnn King releasing content faster than Big mom pumps out babies. Even faster than her mood swings also.
Lmaooo
Togashi created two of my favorite manga of all time, that's no easy feat considering that there are mangaka that can't get past the first success
some of the best manga writers ever just love to make their fans wait lol
HxH is fan service, done right. Its not too tryhardy or predictable. For ex, when pitou took gon to kite. You tell yourself "i want gon to brutally kill pitou"
so u feel/know, gon is gonna do some rock paper rock x1000 type shii. U kinda already know.
But u never expected gon to mf sacrifice his OWN MF NEN...HES INSTANTLY EOS LEVEL POWERFUL. AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!
he proceeds to brutally kill pitou.
Still speechless 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Most underrated scene imo. A brother and sister get eaten by chimera ants. They get seperated. Then in the end, she's reunited with her mom. Duuuude i remember saying "please dont leave her alone, even tho she look like a monster, thats a little kid. Thats a little girl" then togashi gives her a good ending... Bru 😌👌
Oda is the hardworker that rises to the top by developing his skills. Togashi is the lazy sss natural genius that hates all of us.
Nah. Togashi is the hardworking genius who doesn't have the resilience or patience to deal with bullshit.
@@stonefree7973 No Togashi is a lazy sod. Oda has worked his arse off all these years for his fans and still writes a brilliant Manga. Togashi could learn a lot about work ethics from Oda.
@@deborahwhitney9427 Oda's work ethic comes with a variety of health problems. The manga industry is a demanding field infamous for overworking. Just because Oda constantly releases chapters doesn't mean he's healthy. Togashi's hiatuses are his way of staying healthy and safe, and we should respect that.
@@stonefree7973 I understand it. I do not respect it. Taking a few months off sure, but YEARS?
@@jonahmckay You try making a manga on a weekly basis, or any long term writing project that isn't a fanfiction. I get you love Oda, but his work ethic should not be treated like he's a god. Honestly the guy should take more time off. Togashi's hiatuses might be a little frustrating, but if he needs them to stay healthy, then so be it.
A nearly 30 minute video on ToGOATshi by KOL is literally so fucking hype. I almost busted one reading the title.
KOL is absolutely *PREACHING* 💯
Bro, I had such a good time watching this video. Definitely got my sub. This my first impression of your content fam and all I can say is DEFINITELY keep pushing. I’m looking forward to more of your work.
im rewatching yu yu hakusho right now. approaching the conclusion of the dark tournament. the thing that makes yyh special is that it has over 100 episodes and not a single boring one. it's honestly my 6th favorite anime right behind dbz. gonna watch hxh 2011 on netflix next and honestly if it exceeds yyh, i can agree with togashi being the god of shonen.
I'm really surprised you have behind dbz that's crazy
Been waiting for a video like this m. There’s not other Mangaka as good a storyteller as Togashi IMO. Dude knows when yo let scenes linger & knows how to portray emotion without the use of dialogue
Togashi is really an insane mangaka but Oda is just special man , creating such a huge detailed world with countless amazing characters and plot points , making the largest set up for an end game in shonen , excels in comedy , drama and tying real world struggles with the story and a lot more.
One piece isn't perfect like any other piece of fiction but the good points heavily outweigh the bad ones resulting in what's imo the best shonen manga and arguably the best manga period .
Yeah Oda is the only mangaka I put above togashi
No not even close
Oda and Togashi are neck and neck for me because to me Oda has peak worldbuilding while Togashi has peak character writing. If I had to decide I'd give it to Oda and that's mainly fir his consistency in writing over 20+ years in his career.
They're definitely great, it all comes down to preferences.
Personally, good and deep characters are my main point of interest in any fiction I consume (anime, books, movies, wtv). So One Piece has fallen down my ranks of favorite manga/anime considerably since my teenage years, character development being it's weakest point.
HxH is truly on another level on that front in the shonen world. Only rival would probably be FMA as far as I know (I'm not considering AoT shonen).
I still enjoy One Piece immensely and its world building is truly one of the best if not the best among its competition. It's very good at setting up intense dramatic moments, as you said, and the story flows so smoothly.
And the one thing OP will always have over HxH, independently of opinions: it's going to be completed 🙃
You just called one piece the best manga probably period.
You are indeed a fucking idiot. I hate the OP fanbase. Like man how tf do you read OP and think it’s the goat of manga.
Idc if I seem toxic. I love manga and entertainment as a whole and one piece is not even a top 5 Manga of all time.
Y’all need to read more. Even tho this is my opinion. This is the right opinion. One Piece good but damn no where near the best.
I completely disagree on the worldbuilding point, showing off a map that is unexplored without knowing even a little bit about it or exploring it to some degree might as well be just that, a map.
It's more of a roadmap at this stage not really something that I could attribute to "worldbuilding" yet.
It's like when you write a book and you build a story and you simply show people a world map of said world and give them a little note to it, and I don't think Togashi did enough here to warrant such praise.
As much as I also like HxH it's kinda weird to see how much praise it gets for its worldbuilding and even power system, while I agree that it's pretty good in those aspects, it's not majorly outstanding.
Fair enough man but if you're gonna say that you at least gotta point us to some alternatives that do those things better. Especially the power system I just don't see any real competition there.
@@skylerpeters4997 The issue with that is that I believe that the Nen System overall is held in a way to high regard for some reason, as I said I don't think it's bad, I believe it is very good, but people put it up to be the pinacle of writting, when it reality I believe that it practically falls on the same level as any other shonen power system.
So I can't give you a specific example, because I think a lot of them are damn near equal.
But if I had to choose which power systems I believe to be the best at current, it would be Jujutsu Kaisens for their Domains and Cursed Energy AND One Pieces Haki system.
(I am well aware of how much people seem to dislike Haki or think it's a stupid system, but I believe that it is one of the most basic and believable systems that also has a lot of intrigue to it, whereas HxH's nen could easily be replaced as "Magic" and it would be the same pretty much)
Maybe I like Haki so much because I see a potential of Conquerer Haki to be used in such a creative way of which it currently is not, so I might be biased on that one.
(What I mean by that is that I see Conquerer Haki be possibly set up as having it's own individual use for each user, meaning there obviously is the most basic steps of it where users can knock them out using it or intimidate them, but also develop it into a system similar to Nen, obviously not as in-depth but still unique to its user)
But again, in terms of near pinnacle in current writting of a power system I would give JJK the upper hand.
@@skylerpeters4997 The problem is, something that is more complicated and more detailed isn't necessarily better then something that is more simple. As an example, both Chimera Ant arc and Phantom Troop arc are considered the best arcs of all time. However what about Heavens Arena and Greed Island. Both are teaching arcs that lead us up to the other arcs. However both those arcs are considered boring and not interesting by Hunter X Hunter fans. " Wait until we get to the good parts" they say. Even the training with Knuckle and Shoot is considered a low point of the Chimera ant arc. Ok then lets remove all those parts that people don't like, what do we get, just characters clashing with their powers and abilities. So from that info, it isn't the system that makes them like the series its more the results of that system. Therefore the system of Nen in Hunter x Hunter doesn't really need to be their for them to like it. People praise it for being more complicated, but actually don't like the complicated inner workings of the system. So it isn't really better then any other system's that just have those powers and abilities without detail explanation.
Togashi, Oda, and Toryiama are the goats
Edit your comment by deleting Toriyama and you would be right
@@LJAndrews1986 why not toriyama, he did create alot of the troupes that u see today
Because in terms of writing he can't compare to the other two in terms of character development and world building. He can't even remember his own characters ffs 😅
@@LJAndrews1986 true i agree, but I'd say db has good world building and dbz has good character writing, but I agree overall togashi and oda are superior imo
I would replace Toriyama by Ariyaki (Jojo author)
Was gonna try to watch my daily one piece videos trying to catch up but now that you dropped this, it can wait! Thank you kinguuuuu!!!
you guys don't get it. Togashi took this time off to finish the worldbuilding for the dark continent. He must be like Tolkien at this point. Maybe after his death we will find his Silmarillion to. That's what I like to believe.
he has back problems , and he wants to spend more time with his family instead of slaving away.
He also refuses to get assistants which i can understand due to the YYH situation.
Togashi is the absolute GOAT. He WILL return, keep your hopes up kings
Yes sir in maybe 2056 🤣🤣🤣
The hiatus hasn't even lasted 3 years, people are making a big fuzz out of nothing.
@@bootyhunter2896 People are acting like he has been gone for two decades
Yes he'll return with 10 chapters then go on hiatus for the next 2 years, can't wait!!
@@bootyhunter2896 3 years is a very long time with ZERO chapters, it also isn't just 3 years. It's all the long hiatuses he took before that, it all adds up
HXH to me is the best shonen manga and YuYuHakasho is a top 10 shonen manga. Togashi really made two insanely popular mainstream classics.
We haven't seen much off Tserriednich, but he has so much potential as a villain. Really terrifying dude.
I've always felt like this tbh he made 2 seires that are EXCELLENT
He may be a genius but let's be honest. If he were to be a weekly shonen jump author with little to no breaks, his work would be much worse. Or vice versa, if other shonen jump authors could take as much time as they'd like to, they'd also be better. I hate how the industry is so geared towards money instead of quality.
I think you are missing the mark here. Togashi put out Yorknew before any mayor hiatus and that arc was already on another level. He said in a lot of interviews that he has the basic story in paper, it's not like he is taking years and years to write stuff, he just can't sit to draw.
@@Hyde_Lawrence That's true.
But I stand by the stance that with hiatus like his, you do have more time to think about your story and reconsider ideas and concepts. Also you gain experience as you age and that also is an advantage.
Obviously, as I also previously wrote, he is a genius. It's not his first work where he proves to be an excellent writer.
Thank you however for adding to the discussion. It's much appreciated.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!:D
@@Mani_Katti Oh for sure , the hiatus surely makes the story better . But if he can make Arcs of YNs quality without needing hiatus ,then he is still IMO above ANY shonen mangaka i've seen for me.
@@idirbouchdoug1567 Absolutely, that's what I commented on in the replies!
Before HxH he even wrote Yuyu Hakusho, which is a masterpiece as well.
My comment was oddly written now that I reread it after months. It was moreso targeted at the consumer heavy industry. I believe that every manga should be biweekly or even monthly.
They could still write the same amount of pages (~10-15 per week) but have more time to consider and reconsider their ideas.
Forgot the daily prays
In the name of GODA the father, kishimoto the son, and the Holy Hiatus, Togashi
Can you please tell me the archangels
I would argue that the Chimera Ant Arc is one of the greatest story arcs in any media. It transcends Anime/Manga.
Except the first half is a snoozefest and Gon transformation was one of the worst asspull in history
@@asterix5084 Each to his own, but I quite enjoyed the through explanations of each moving piece. As for Gon, the transformation made sense given the internal logic of the story so I don't see how it could be considered an asspull.
If he does come back it’s gonna be for no more than 3 chapter and then we’ll never hear from him again
Highly doubt it. The last time he went on hiatus for almost 2years he dropped 20 chapters . i'm saying at least 10 chapter this time since tyere was corona
Plz don’t stop with these HxH videos
Much appreciated
Stop the cap. We've all seen the amount of breaks togashi took in order to complete the chimera ant arc( 8 years) and even though its an amazing arc , we've seen oda pull of multiple arcs in the spam of the same time with consistent story telling and amazing world building. Cant ignore the almost 25 year grind. Overall id give the title to Oda and its not even a comparison.
This is one of your best video's in my opinion, you do a fantastic job emphasizing how good he is.
Oda is the best Mangaka in my opinion. I understand that people like the ability explanations in hunter but for me it takes away form me action and I don't want a author to overexplain it for me, I prefer to figure it out myself. But for all people who prefer Hunter X Hunter I pray for Togashi's health and hope the Manga continues soon :D
best mangaka? not shounen but overall? naoki urasawa and takehiko inoue want to know your location
I'd pick prime Toriyama and Togashi over Oda easily, as great as One Piece is, It hasn't reached the highs of Marineford since and in my opinion is showing worrying signs of not being able to progress the main cast in a satisfying way. It's cool to see Luffy fight with the top dogs of the verse but it feels like Oda himself is dragging the crew out of every situation instead of giving them the tools to save themselves. That being said one solid training arc can still change things and I hope we get it.
@@markuslehtimaki7757 Could agree with you on that, the scabbards have gotten to much attention and it have hurt the strawhats progression and the story. But to early to say if it will be worth in the end or not. Because I believe the final battle will be amazing. Also if you reread One Piece it's usually not a problem.
At least compared to when you read it weekly with years of none progression for some of the crew, it feels very bad. I have reread One Piece 56+ times and usually isent a problem, you enjoy the story in another way then.
But I 100% agree that it haven't reached Marineford level since the timeskip and the lack of time with the strawhats is a negative for the series currently.
@@fallenneberu3422 In my opinion Vagabond aint better.
@@kingdraco4813 im not saying whether you like vagabond more than HxH and OP or not. I'm saying both inoue and urasawa have had multiple (more than 2) top tier works. Looking at your other comment, I'd say even if scabbards have had too much attention, they still have failed to carry much emotional impact on this arc. Oda wrapped all scabbards' backstories cheaply in a single chapter and I wouldn't really care if any of them died... except maaaybe kinemon.
No matter how long it takes! I will continue to wait for Hunter Hunter!
Sorry kol, but the man can't end a series to save his life. He is like a great sprinter who always trips before the finish line. To each their own though I guess
It doesnt matter to me if he finishes when his current finished work (390 chapters) is the best i've seen in shonen by a sizeable margin. He is like a sprinter that surpasses all the othrmer sprinters in the race but then trips towards the end , ymhe still surpassed the others when he was sprinting and that should be recognised.
even if he doesnt finish it like you doubters say, its still one of the best forever
@@idirbouchdoug1567 yes recognized, but not the greatest.
@@olivetree9920 Disagree , imo he is the greatest SHONEN mangaka.
You a troll for this one king
How ???
Bro no one who makes 1 chapter every 3 years should be considered the best mangaka out of all the other mangaka that's my opinion tho
fax
Quality > Quantity
@@deivitsalazar1991 than you would argue more he is the best author rather then best mangaka
Why did I click this video so fast ? ⭐️👁👄👁💧
*Why
HUNTER X HUNTER is almost seinen + shounen Has that sense of mystery And the universe is original with its own language and names and incorporates so many variety elements like psychological element, archeology, extreme examples of people and culture like jyro, mereum who is extremely op, netero's meditation backstory, and meteor city which is a garbage dump and yet produced very strong mercenaries and thieves feared throughout the hxh world. The character progression and world building never seen anything like it. Even the character personalities for each character is so unique when compared to one piece characters which all have kinda similar personalities like whitebeard, roger and luffy = almost same personality, and villians kinda same personality,, In hunter x hunter All the bad guys are unique and different and how they are being introduced in the series is so uniquely awesome,,, Madhouse Studio also Provided the best animation, The music direction was spot on, the osts, the color pallete, the animation direction, the effects, the narrator, DAMN One of the best Things In HUMAN HISTORY! TOGASHI PLEASE!!!!!
Excellent analysis love watching long videos like this on authors I enjoy even if I am a Toryiama enjoyer lol
For years I doubted hxh, I always heard the praise but never thought it could live up to the hype. It's ironic as a die hard one piece fan that the praise from the fanbase and the art style were the main things keeping me from giving it a proper chance. Until last month. I'd never made it through the hunter exam before, but after getting to the Zoldyck family stuff I could not turn it off.... Savouring each and every page I have left of the manga now 😂 Thanks for the recommendation everyone !!
Before I really hate it when I see the " hiatus " on the chapter's/news I'd be pissed on Togashi, after what has transpired with Miura, Rest in peace,
I am totally fine him having a hiatus he still human especially his health condition and to be with his family. Hope he lives longer
If HunterxHunter had just continued and maybe finished by now, It would *be* the *GREATEST ANIME RECOMMENDATION* in *HISTORY* .
In a timeline where its still going and probably heading towards its endgame, I envy our alternative selves enjoying the heck out of this series.😭
That same universe had one piece end at thriller bark. Sacrifices were made.
@@ChocoDee_Hz totally worth it if you ask me.
implying that whether or not it ends affects togashi being the best
NEN is the ultimate power system.
Aside for KoL’s hate for Zoro and love for Sanji, he has some of the best taste and reviews of manga/anime. Props on this video
I will give the GOAT status to Oda. I'm sorry, but if Oda had time to perfect his story writing... I know his levels of greatness will increase exponentially! And, his level of greatness is already immense... which means that it really is scary to imagine what Oda could write if he's given time... Togashi is still a genius nonetheless,
I understand that your opinion but to think oda writing is quality every single week along with certain arcs show me you have low standards
@@shshshs2 this person clearly doesn’t know great story telling
@@shshshs2 Uh... and why do you think that is?... Yes, because he writes weekly! How hard is it to understand that time is a big thing while writing!?... I can't be the only person who actually understands how time benefits Togashi... LOL. Do you even know that Hunter x Hunter is as old as One Piece, but One Piece has 3 times the amount of chapters!? Ask Togashi to do that. He will tell you that is madness! He even said in an interview before that his writing had benefited greatly when he became a monthly mangaka, for god's sake!
Also, now all of a sudden Hunter x Hunter is this perfect holy grail of a manga!?... It has its flaws! The same as any other manga.
@@elgincraley3010 lol If you seriously think One Piece does not have great storytelling than you are either a moron or biased as hell because of butthurt.
@@furorteutonicus9045 exactly
*Smooth Brain:* come on now, is Meruem THAT good of a character?

Big meme
Thank you so so much King! I have just checked out the hiatus calendar of HxH yesterday bc I felt so sad and then I discovered that there are fans on that website who post EVERY SINGLE DAY which date it is and that they still wait for HxH. I’m with you, my King.
Bro it’s so weird I just recently finished yu yu hakusho and WOW. It’s so fucking amazing and I already have seen hunter x hunter and now KOL drops this video what a coincidence
It’s really that good?
@@jaredbowen3527 it’s really that good
Thanks for making this I’ve been preaching this for years
you know you are grasping for straws when you talk about ifs and buts. oda is better than togashi its simple lol
KoL is being too kind, Togashi sits in first place with YYH and HxH is just the extra lap around the competition.
@Nigel Castelino you're kind of making KoL's point for him. Oda has had about 30 years to make his story good. Togashi's stories can arguably be considered better and it was done so in only a fraction of the time lol
@@PhantomPein 30 years to make it good? I mean, when OP became "good" or not is more of a subjective thing. Also, it's about 24 years from now, but whatever. And plus, didn't it take Togashi many years (with months off) to plan and complete the Chimera Ant arc? Oda with his story can't afford to have that kind of luxury. It's literally week after week with him, even in the hospital beds. In fact, I don't know if there are many mangaka that can afford that. The stories are different and one mangaka with one series is competing with a guy who made two series with massive amount of time for planning. Every story has things that others may or may not like. I think Togashi is a better writer, but I think Oda is a much better mangaka. Comparing to someone who can take years and years off to plan, I'd have to give Oda more respect in only certain avenues. And yeah, I know, quality over quantity, but still. Togashi getting boatloads of leeway has to be taken into account.
@@theloserkilljoy1025 You have some valid points. However, only when it comes to HxH. YuYu is an entirely different beast altogether. You can not make such an argument with YuYu Hakusho. It was created, fleshed out, and completed in a timely manner. Imagine if he was writing that story for 30 years. It would be far and above anything any Mangaka past or present could've even attempted to create.
@@PhantomPein Can't say that for sure. Whether a series gets better or not if it keeps going on can only be seen if its actually done. OP was regardes as amazing in the pre timeskip and when it kept going for another decade, quite a few people are saying it's too long and overdone, although lots are saying otherwise. I can't just say YYH or HxH would "hands down be far and above anything any mangaka could yadda yadda", because the proof is in the pudding. And there is not much pudding. But if you believe that, you're free to 🤷♂️.
Thank you so much for this video King. Togashi is the true goat. the only problem is the hiatus
I recommend you KOL to read and watch "World trigger" before it's too late. One of the best Power system and World building in shonen that can equally good to HxH. The neighbors from different planets is a galaxy level of World building and they're not even explore yet which it has been hyped for years.
By the way the Season 2 is on fire by Toei animation so you may like it
The parallels of Netero reaching enlightenment are very integrated into his design, moves, and personality.
He attempts to loose his ego yet he keeps one strand of hair to signify his small ego/humanity still left before killing another being.
He understands that to be the chairman you may have to loose your morals for the greater good.
His final attack Guanyin Bhodhisattva shows an enlightened being crying. Showcasing Neteros true failure to reach enlightenment over his humanity.
Which then leads to him killing himself with a demonic face like he is revealing who he truly is deep down.
One most amazing shows and character designs
Beautiful
Indeed. That last move also explain what and why he able to keep his nerve through out the fight ..since at the end of the day he know that he will get the job done one way or another. Is that a coward or a brave move it's up to the viewer.
Absolutely loved meruem and komigi relationship
togashi's characters are so good you focus on his antagonists but forget his protagonists are also GOATS. like his characters across the board are everything. then there's ToGoatshi's storytelling, look no further than episode 1 of Yu yu hakusho and meruem. 1000% agreed togashi the GOAT and oda next
