The Hunter X Hunter Thread (New anime series has begun!)

My fav moment is always…

I wish I could do that in real life…

SCHWING!

…I wonder if we’ll ever get a Hisoka Gaiden of any sort…I’m just curious as to his origin and how he got so strong. With his behavior, I assume someone did to him, what he inherently has done with Gon.

Hisoka has a lot of unique feats that arent common in hunters. For one, his ability to sense things are exceptional. I hope him and Alluka are somehow from the dark world

2011 anime just dropped on Netflix over here, just powered through it and now on S5, this anime is intense as fuck! :tup:

I’d prefer Hisoka’s origin to never be explained, or have multiple versions of it (neither which are probably true) like Joker.

I feel he’d lose his mystique if they delved too much into his backstory, he just needs to stay being that creepy, badass pervert who just wants a good fight

I trust Togashi on this one. The way he handled Toguro’s and Sensuis backgrounds in yyh means he will not disappoint on Hisoka

I don’t need ‘massive’ in-depth review of his history, but I want to know
"How he got so freakishly strong" and “Why he acts the way he acts with regards to seeking the next fight”. The Phantom Troupe are all from the same place, and its been explained how that lead to their strength, but Hisoka was not part of that.

WTF!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO

Well he has a legitimate reason now considering he broke his back

It only takes Togashi a week to write draw and ink each chapter?.. I’m still surprised he doesn’t draw them weeks in advance.

Do you do your job weeks in advance at work?

Iunno but reading from Bakuman, apparently those drawing s take a while to produce.

I would if I could. I also wish I could take weekly to year long hiatuses off work.

I honestly think that mangaka don’t know how to take care of themselves. All of these issues they have can easily be avoided if they take some health precautions.

People do way harder manual labor jobs for weeks on end but they do things to keep themselves healthy. Not dumb otaku shit like eating ramen cups, sitting all day without stretching, not taking strategic breaks and just generally living unhealthy lifestyles.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all that the most important eople in the world

They also get to go home.

There is no going home for a successful mangaka. Home is the workplace.

Especially if you have to adhere to standards in your drawing quality (remember that time when Togashi’s artwork was fucking F-Tier during the Chimera Ant arc? Yeah, that was no fun trying to decipher that shit (I didn’t like doing it the few times in happened in YuYu either)), you just can’t rely on your assistant(s).

Some of these niggas work 20 hours a fucking day because they fucking HAVE to. Of course they aren’t going to be healthy.

Oh, and I can almost gurantee most of these guys are going to end up with arthritis and carpal tunnel before they actually retire (if they even want or are able to).

Perhaps he’s just sick from circumstances well beyond anyone’s control. All we can do is speculate.

Maybe he’s got too much of that Yamato Damashi.
