Re: Hunter x Hunter 309 Discussion / 310 Prediction Yeah, I know Kaito isn't his father, that's why it would be a twist. :P But you're right, we've actually seen Gin once or twice in a panel. So far Gin has mostly been a MacGuffin used to forward the plot. I still think he won't actually...

Re: Hunter x Hunter 309 Discussion / 310 Prediction He might do the same thing as in Yu Yu Hakusho where he meets his dad and finds out he's dying. Or Gin is captured and they have to rescue him. Or it turns out Kaito was really Gin after all. I'm expecting some sort of twist anyway...

Re: Hunter x Hunter 308 Discussion / 309 Prediction Hmm, I have to disagree. Netero was the strongest hunter that we've seen so far and the manga has been running for quite a long time now. I actually think he was still at least one of the stongest hunters. Oh, and there are lots of...

Re: Hunter x Hunter 308 Discussion / 309 Prediction Their mission wasn't really pacifistic. In fact Netero's orders were specifically to kill the king no matter what. He even had a nuke inside of him. Although it's true Knuckle, Gon and Killua seemed to be open to the possiblity of...

Re: Hunter x Hunter 308 Discussion / 309 Prediction I was thinking mostly of people who are actually around right now. Having new people show up reeks of Deus Ex Machina. It would take at least a day for anyone to even get there, and it seems to me the king could one-shot 99.9% of the...

Re: Hunter x Hunter 308 Discussion / 309 Prediction Sigh. Fine then, here's a different analogy: An incredibly smart midget VS Mike Tyson in a boxing match. The midget doesn't have a gun or a knife because the characters in HxH left to fight the king don't have the equivalent of that...

Re: Hunter x Hunter 308 Discussion / 309 Prediction While that's true, it's just that, say, a 5-year old couldn't beat Mike Tyson even if he had a great strategy. Knuckle and the chameleon realized that even with a free suprise attack and invisibility they didn't stand a chance against the...

Re: Hunter x Hunter 308 Spoilers / Spoiler Discussion It would be hard to convince people to suddenly nuke a foreign country. Not to mention the king might see the bombs coming. And I'm sure the bomb Netero had in him was the HxH universe equivalent of a nuke. It's pretty obvious the...

Yeah, and also, in chapter 885 when Woli leaves his corner you can clearly see those 5 taps Ippo landed affected Woli's legs. In chapter 886 Ippo hits Woli another 6 times with similar taps, and that one big blocked punch shows he can still hit with power as well. That makes it pretty obvious...

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro I'm sure the others will not return to normal even if Meruem dies. That vampire rule seems more supernatural while the chimera ants are more like biological/genetic mutations. Also, the people changed by that ant queen didn't change back after she...

I doubt if Woli is smart enough to try to win on points, seems out of character for him. If Ippo turtled up he would probably still try to attack him, since he's fighting mostly on instinct.

I think it's fairly obvious his father will be the ultimate enemy, that's pretty much the standard for a series like this. Two things make this stand out for me though: One, the combat seems a lot more deadly than in your average shounen. And two: the techniques have a basis in reality...

Way to be condescending. I think Oh! Great is a great artist but he really needs to hook up with a good writer.

The problem is that it's so over the top, it doesn't even resemble a fight anymore.

Awesome, Bastard!! rocks. Has anyone seen the older volumes that were redone in the new art-style? It's like a different manga altogether. I wish someone would do those as well.
