Anime A Hunter x Hunter Movie

[ZonikStrike]

Hey, Shalnark looks pretty young for 24, doesn't he? What makes you assume he didn't look younger before? I mean, Pyro could be older than Kurapika but look younger.

 

[Kamen Rider Dragon]

Unless Shalnark uses contacts, then his eyes are not even Kurapika's color.

I think that Shalnark is from the Lukso Province originally or is of Lukso descent. He may not specifically be a Kurta but with clothing like that it's hard to say he isn't at least from the same land as Kurapika.

Kurapika takes his wig off in the car, so he still has it, just not in this scene. The manga and 1999 series were the same way.

 

[The Invertroid]

Oh that is Shalnark! Ha ha... I can't believe I didnt see that.

I can't say I'm a fan of his new color scheme for the movie. His clothes are the same ugly lime green that Gon had in the 1999 anime.

Its looks like a flashback so I don't expect that to be his look for the movie

 

[EverEndingStory]

It's a flashback. The biggest tell is the appearance of Chrollo, which matches how the manga depicts him during the troupe's formative years.

Hypothesis: could this image be depicting the moments directly prior to the Kurta massacre? If Shalnark is Kurta, or connected to them, this could explain why he looks like he is running to stop them. Being that Uvo and Nobunaga have been established as the main frontline of the troupe, it would make since then why they are in front, if they are indeed about to start the massacre.

Another little thing I've noticed (let me know if its been noted before) - Shalnark's color scheme in the Nippon Animation is the same as Pairo's. Odd coincidence?

If you go full zoom on the image and look at Feitan, behind him is a map with a knife stabbed into it. Perhaps the knife is stabbed onto the Kurta tribeland in Lukso province?

Question: If this movie shows the Kurta Tribe massacre, would it be considered a canonical portrayal of the event, even though the rest of the movie is a non-canon "what if" story?

The entire film is written by Togashi. It is one of the many different versions of York New that he wrote. I'm pretty sure that the massacre would be completely canon.

I can guess.... Pairo is as old as Gon or Killua based on this pic
when they were younger before kurata tribe massacre you could clearly see the age and height difference...
Shalnark is I think the same or maybe older than Kurapika...
Pairo cant be Shalnark.... pretty impossible.... for now....

zoom this pic and see who has shorter legs....

I have not been keeping track of this movie, but what is it exactly about? Is it just a rehash of the yorknew city arc with a back story added in?

 

[Keirin]

It's an alternative version of yorkshin arc Togashi wrote and scrapped.

I think we will be able to tell why it was scrapped LOL

 

[Uriel]

There is already fanart :O

 

[Akia999]

^
I have seen several too.Mainly hisoka and illumi.
And this.

Is that puppeteer a guy or girl?

 

[Netero]

^It's a dude...

 

[heron bpv]

^Better yet, it's a trap.

 

[Riruru]

^Better yet, it's a trap.

And there's the definite proof right there that this was written by Togashi.

So this is the final trailer?
