Discussion Hunter x Hunter Hangout [00]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

I personally like this part of the chimera. Togashi stepped it up a BIG knot. Everything is just way more epic than before, the story, and especially the art(Can't forget that he does everything alone). The stakes looks huge and President Netero is involved!

Re: Hunter x Hunter

This Arc is pretty awesome Togashi introduced to us new characters like Knuckle, Shoot etc. We saw Kaito's awesome Nen ability and some character development for Gon: the negotiation with Pitou & his 'argument' with Killua was awesome and touching at the same time.

But we lack Leorio

Re: Hunter x Hunter

we have had 'lack of leorio' the entire manga lol but yeah, this arc is definately far better than previous due to the pure epicness of everything, and the little sideplots are even pretty good, but one thing i didnt like is how such an awesome character like zitou gets smooshed without showing his new move. lame ._.

Ha ha, that was actually one of the things I liked a lot.

Zitou was one of my favourite new characters, and his fight against Morau was really awesome. That he would go out so anti-climacticly made me laugh out like crazy behind my pc. It had been a while since we saw some of the gory whackiness from the Hunter Exam Arc, and this was a great and unexpected way. 'Made me like the fellow even better.

If characters have an awesome death, they'll be remembered and become more popular. Think of a certain character from Fullmetal Alchemist or Pakunoda from the Genei Ryoudan. If you keep characters alive too long without an appearance, people get bored with them, though...

Re: Hunter x Hunter

+1, or it'll take years and years and we will have to endure a publisher change or something like that...Damn Togashi...

We will never see Hisoka VS Danchou...

We will never see Gin...

We won't see Netero again..

PLUS we might have wasted our time reading an entirely useless chapter about Jairo??

actually I generally prefer stories when characters are on adventures pursuing their own motives and ambitions rather than your standard "save the world" motive..

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Does anyone know if Togashi has ever mentioned Leorio's Nen affinity in the Manga?

He is just like Gon & co. a professional Hunter he too must have an Nen-Master, who taught him the basics of Nen.
When the group met in York Shin did he tell anything about his Nen?
I want to know his Nen affinity

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Another question.

Is the length of the hiatus defined?

It was mentioned during the ryodan arc that the only thing he learnt was ten and he did not know his affinity though it was hinted that he was from reinforcement(since he was as simple minded as Gon). I am not too sure of it myself but you can confirm it by rereading the ryodan arc. Also as far as i know, nothing has been mention about the duration of the hiatus.

based on this i believe he is a Manipulation guy. Maybe he can manipulate his dagger or something. But he is really weak so maybe he will get a special skill.

Who is Jairo?

 

[kewl0210]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Jario was a guy who had a chapter about him, giving him a backstory with him always in silhouette. He'd worshipped his father for helping him stay alive, and been told to stay out of people's way. But he learned his father was a liar and didn't care about him, and then went insane and killed everyone. Then he devoted his life to evil and made the drug D2 which was mentioned in the first part of this arc with Kaito.
He became a Chimera Ant, but maintained his self-awareness and memories and went off on his own. It was mentioned he was in the same town as Gon at one point, but he left without them meeting. At that time he was wearing a big coat so you couldn't see what he looked like. So he's been like the "mysterious guy" of this series for this arc. Like maybe some character is really him or else he'll show up eventually.

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Check the last page of chapter 203 and the whole of chapter 204 for Jairo's back story.(for those who forgot about it)

http://www.onemanga.com/Hunter_X_Hunter/241/13/
I always thought Meleron as Jairo because of the page above where he introduces himself to Gon.

 

[kewl0210]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

He's not though, it's almost impoassible at this point. That name he says directly romanized is "Jeiru" Jairo's name directly romanized is "Jyairo", they're not close at all. Also Jairo had never served the Queen, Meleoron did, he was a commander. We hear Meleoron's thoughts in one of the last few chapters and he doesn't seem to be evil at all. He is angry at the king because his father had been killed by him, but Jairo hated his father. It's very unlikely, but still a debated theory.

The translation could've been mucked up at that point.

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Who is Jairo?

looks like many people forgot about him, and thats pretty normal.. hell, I won't be surprised if Togashi had forgot about him as well ..

 

[sharingan_kakashi]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

Oh him. He didnt seem like an important character. I doubt we'll ever get to see him again. Meleoron? maybe but isnt he a little too "gppd" to be the former leader or a NGL?

 

[hunter71485]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

well... he didn't care when his whole battalion got ambushed...

 

[sharingan_kakashi]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

maybe he is the same size as Jairo (dont know if that applies since hey change alot when they become Ants)
Anyone got any news on Togashi?

btw, Nice sig man.

 

[kaitoshinichi]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

some reason i have a feeling that leorio will end up having a medical nen skill... super healing ... or something like that

 

[hunter71485]

Re: Hunter x Hunter

damn now that i'm re-reading it i noticed that hisoka gets sexually excited in a prospect of battle...
