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

jokes?

:shake: one can hope.

Chapter 282 is out.

Togashi is second to none in shounen manga-making, but god damn what a chapter.

I thought he would at least end Ikarugoā€™s fightā€¦

Even the most boring HxH is still better than Naruto.

And bleach and one piece and fairy tail.

Now that I think about it, Iā€™m pretty sure heā€™ll be able to end Ikarugoā€™s fight by the end of this chapter waveā€¦ and thatā€™s probably it.

Yupi is pretty much the same as he was when shit got started, even though he was caught off guard by Killua, he seems perfectly fine. Pouf, Pitou and the king fights have yet to even startā€¦

This is going to take a while :lol:

Pitou isnā€™t going to fight. Pufu isā€¦ I donā€™t even know. Didnā€™t he jump out of the smoke cage? Or is he still in the cocoon? And the Yupi fight has however much longer it takes for that damn interest rate to make it through.

The fight with the King is going to take forever, since that hasnā€™t even sort of begun yet.

Something got out from the smoke jail, but I doubt it was Puf himself. Maybe something to check up on the king. And I thought they ditched the whole interest thing seeing how it would take forever for it to work on Yupi.

Hold it right there, HxH and OP are both at the same level of awesomeness:mad:

Nah, interest is still going. Itā€™ll probably kick in later while Yupi is trying to do something, leaving him with no aura and open to attack.

I see, well whenever that kicks in maybe then theyā€™ll actually damage him.

Iā€™m still kind of surprised at Killuaā€™s grandfather just leaving Netero like that, they had such an amazing intro in this event. I thought for sure they would fight the King together, I guess Komugiā€™s/a bystanderā€™s supposed death really did affect him.

Any of you watch the anime? does it have a lot fillers? Iā€™ve been watching the Zoldyck vs Lucilfer fight, really well done.

Yeah, that seemed weird to me, especially since heā€™s presumably been an assassin for a long time.

That and he didnā€™t give a damn about the Cheetahā€™s death, who was only talking to him before his son caved its face in.

It probably has something to do with family customs which he still follows, he does talk a bit about it before being interrupted by Cheetu(and even before that, saying something along the lines of them not doing the job for blood thirst, it was strictly business, now Silva and Irumiā€™s feeling towards thisā€¦ thatā€™s another story). Cheetu was fair game I didnā€™t see anything wrong with him not caring about itā€™s death :lol:.

I was just surprised at the fact that he actually left, I thought he would still stick around but it seems he doesnā€™t take their customs lightly.

He told the cheetah to move.

And the anime is excellent. The series itself is a bit slow at first, but then picks up and is a very very good adapatation. There are a few filler episodes, maybe 4 or 5? But the filler ā€œscenesā€ just add more flavour to the characters.

The OVAs, however, are perfect and excellent, and helped me understand a few things that the manga was sort of shady about.

This too :tup: it wasnā€™t ā€œweirdā€ just surprising.

Good to hear that, itā€™s cool that they have OVAs for GI too. Going to start it up.

Chapter 283 is now out. ā€œIkaguroā€™s once in a life time shodown!!ā€ Glad he ā€œconcludedā€ Ikaguroā€™s showdown right away and not on chapter #9 or something.

I forgot about that.

It was still utterly surprising though since I thought that Zeno was just threatening him since the poor cheetah was really annoying despite his likeability.


Anyway, I rather liked this chapter for the swift resolution of the plan while not making Ikarugo into a killer, though Iā€™m sure Togashi could make it believable considering that he had moral dilemma up in the first place.

The last page was really cryptic.

Iā€™m rather worried for Morau despite him being the second strongest one there on the human side since I consider Butterfly Man (ugh, I forget his actual name; I think his nickname is Pufu) the most dangerous due to his mind-affecting dust Nen.

And now that theyā€™re outsideā€¦

Looks like morau vs pufu is going to begin next chapter.

oh the art was pretty good in the last batch of chapters, an ybody remember ā€œsupersaiyan 2 gohanā€ gon and ā€œsupersaiyanā€ knuckles lol.

Iā€™d like to see Togashi go into depth on Pufuā€™s mind altering dust. It would be really broken if left as is. Also, surprised to see that it WAS Pufu who got out of the smoke jail, I really thought it was just something to check on the king. Now weā€™ll get to see Morau fight for a 4th time. Cheetuā€™s death was worth it for the simple fact that it was high in styleā€¦ what better way to die than getting crushed by Silva?

Was just rereading some chapters and Iā€™m really glad that he was able to fit the Ryodan in all of this, we got to see the rest of their abilities (or a part of them at least) Feitan, Bonolenov in particular, are really dangerous/strong. They seem more dangerous than Phinks.

And yeah Iā€™ve been content with the art for all these chapters. Up to episode 10 of the anime, I like Gon more now and not just as a necessary shounenesque char. Too bad these eps are from way back, theyā€™re really low res.

I wonder if they plan on animating this arc whenever/if it finished.

e- Stabby, I see in the last HxH thread you were talking about not believing that the king was THAT much stronger than a Royal guard, and I feel the same way.

And I think heā€™s not complete, I donā€™t know if you remember but the Queen started shouting that it wasnā€™t time yet for his birth. He told her to shut up and ripped open her stomach. There was also a human-like fetus left behind which is now being taken care of by that bird antā€¦ itā€™s hard to predict what is actually going on with all thatā€¦

284 now out

Great chapter, looks like the final round against Yupi has begun. I wonder where Pufu will go next, to Gon and Pitou or Meruem and Netero.

Pissed Knuckles + weaponless Marou + 89 Deep Purple Bodies vs Yupi, should be good.

Art was great in this chapter too.

All these fights I donā€™t care about!

I want King v Netero!
