Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

So that leaves Hisoka maybe being interested because the King would be a worthy and "tastey" opponent.

However Hisoka would be supposed to fight the king, we can already assume there would have to be trickery involved, likely using king's own power against him, if even a small nuke didn't work (but hey that's still better than regenerating from a single cell ).

a writer doesn't introduce people into an arc for nothing

What I'm writing here is partially stemming from the annoyance at this chapter, but what you say doesn't apply to all writers. Some of them introduce major characters and then discard them when no longer interested in their development ---> Leolio. I'm of course only assuming the said writer lost interest, he might actually leave such character for the coolest enter in the history of shounen. Togashi is capable of doing that for the coolest exit as shown in the last chapter. And I'm not being sarcastic here.

What I'm trying to say is - nope, there's absolutely nothing definite about spider showing up in this arc, even if only to join the little threesome. Here, I am being sarcastic .

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

You misinterpreted what I said. I said "arc," not the story as a whole. Leorio hasn't been even mentioned in this arc, so Togashi has no plans for him at the moment, if anything. The same goes for Kurapika.

Besides, Leorio isn't even a fair comparison. He wouldn't stand a chance against the Ants right now because he didn't even have a technique of his own at the end of the Yorkshin Arc. He's not some protégé like the rest of the cast. Once he develops his own Hatsu, which I am assuming when he does will be something medical related, he will be major role again in some form.

And Togashi does treat some of his other characters well. In YYH, he reintroduced many of the Dark Tournament participants, gave them an opportunity to get stronger, and have them fight again in the Makai Tournament.

A giant what the heck from this chapter. What a waste! The king's servants were "getting their rocks off" on the king sucking on their juice? >.>

If Netero couldn't defeat him, who can?

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

While it was kind of bizarre, I also found it to be a rather illuminating chapter. It was definitely weird, but I've come to expect Togashi to sometimes do odd things like this.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

This chapter was so weird. It didn't really do much for the plot, but I still liked it for some reason. Maybe because now the king is officially a zombie

Next week is when we get to find out if Togashi does more than 10 chapters this go. Its looking like he will!

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Well there was no notice at the last page of the manga that he'd be in hiatus again...

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Usually the notice is announced before the ten chapters even begin. Plus, if he was gonna put it besides there, it would go after next week's chapter, but during one of his comments in the ToC of Jump, he said something about promising to work much harder this year. Which some people think means he isn't going to do his regular routine of ten then hiatus. And its looking like they're right.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

not sure if his hiatuses actually helps the HxH story though... at least in my opinion.

This chapter, and most of all from this ant arc, has been really lame.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

What's so surreal about Hisoka? Lol. Togashi gave him a personality, it's not the most modest one but there are all kinds of people in the world, even pedo bears.

I'm pretty sure he said the same thing last time too.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

This latest chapter was... uhm... ecstatic? Weird chapter. Makes me think it will be the king who gets rid of the Chimera Ants.

 

[Belphegor_Corleone]

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

IMO both Pufu and Yupi are beeing eated on chapter 300.

 

[Shiro-kun]

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Good i dont like those two particularity .

I can handle Meruem and Pitou but the those two ..should just die

 

[da_rippa]

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Umm... this chapter was kinda... fruity?
I don't like this. Hopefully the king eats all the ants, then he eats himself.
Then the arc will end and this freaking manga will hopefully get up to its old glory. Excelsior.

 

[sharingan_kakashi]

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

hehe yeah. they are happy and gay. it does see like the king is going to eat the other ants but i doubt he would kill them. maybe just a taste lol.

but enough of that. i want to see Pitou heal up Kaito now. i hope pitou doesnt try anything stupid to provoke gon. Even though i want to see gon's progress. ida rather see Kaito get back to the world of the living.

 

[Jack Van Burace]

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Well, Meruem could somehow go crazy and twist things up: he decides to eat Pitou, which Gon needs alive to heal Kaito, and this leads to Gon's arc of trying to save Pitou from his own instinct of offering his cells to the King, and Meruem searching for them to eat Pitou.

Gon can run and hide from more powerful enemies, as seen during the hunter exam. He could do that, which would be both Gon's development and Kaito's healing. And unexpected too.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Before this chapter got too weird, I was thinking, "Yes! The King turns into a cannibal and eats all the other ants up. Then he starves to death since humans aren't on the menu anymore." But that would just be hopeful thinking.

I quite like that idea, now he's tasted something better than humans perhaps he won't keep eating them.
