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

goddam i realized i was actually an entire volume behind.

and regarding the Dark Continent

i see what you did there

Updated my avatar in honor of HxH return.

Hiatus announcement incoming after the next chapter

(Stop jinxing it, ass.)

Basho and Melody are back too. Huh. I wasnā€™t expecting the former even though Basho was like the only minor character who managed to show up during the Ant arc and survive unlike poor, poor Pokkle or bee girl whose name I canā€™t remember currently. Melody isnā€™t too surprising since she and Kurapika seem to legitimately be friends nowadays, which is nice.

As it is, I have to catch up from at least eight chapters ago before the hiatus, but it says a lot that immediately upon coming back, the situation is still tense enough to the point where I wouldnā€™t have been surprised if baby was going to do something fucked up and act like a mind-control parasite when her mother handed her off to Kurapika. You can almost never be too careful in this universe.

Where is the dislike button on this site.

Where is the real rep system.

Negā€™d.

Didnā€™t catch up yet but hope Kite returns.

He dead!!

I thought he reincarnated into some kawaii little girl?

Donā€™t hate, people. You know that nigga Togashi gonna announce that hiatus soon.

yep

Iā€™m telling you we need to stat taking bets. 6 more chapters straight before hiatus

Loser does what? Avatar bet?

Whats the worst possible kind of avatar?

@LordWilliam1234

New chapter is up-

http://readms.com/r/hunter_x_hunter/351/3367/1

I really donā€™t want either of those guys to lose here, but I assume Hisoka has a lot more plot armor.

Feels like the author wants to get through the rest of this series quick.

Also holy shit we got Hisokas Morouā€™s full name.

Iā€™m not yet getting the impression Togashi is rushing anything- I think he probably just put this fight out there to help get readers interested again. Last chapter might have been necessary and fit in the story flow, but it was way too wordy and dry to make for a compelling return after such a long break.

I donā€™t think heā€™s rushing it, but I think heā€™s not going to draw things out longer than they need to. This series has been running for so long that itā€™s more than fine to have these payoffs even if they donā€™t have much set up.

Kurapikaā€™s ark seems to consist of utterly stomping his the group who put him in this situation and now just finishing off his search with the final set. just the important parts.

Isnā€™t that Shalnarkā€™s technique? Did Shalnark get his ability stolen?

I havenā€™t completed reading the new chapter yet and Iā€™ve skipped all of your comments. After reading the first 3 pages Iā€™m sure this is what Togashi meant when he said one of the main characters will die in this arc. Iā€™ve previously asked how the hell is Hisoka supposed to beat Chrollo considering that Chrollo has always appeared to be far more powerful than Hisoka (except for that time he lost all his powers, lol).
