Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Seems like an interesting chapter overall. Not much development though.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Gon and Pitou already at Peinjin ? Exciting !
As for the others i really hope that Meruem will discover that Pufu is in some way betraying him.
And nothing about Yupi and the other Hunters ?

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

I recently noticed something interesting regarding a rather unseen character (dunno if it has been mentioned but I think it hasn't). It is about shisuku(?) from the ryodan, the girl with the vacuum.

She has made few appearances but in those appearances she has show at least decent power and her ability can be useful and versatile in the right hands. Her particular ability has also been target to a number of rather strong compliments, quite so that they seem to overhype her simple "vacuum". The first one is from the shalnark (the guy with the cell phone that controls people, not sure if I messed up the name). In an occasion he mentioned a number of ryodan members who has easily replaceable abilities which were not all that important (himself included) and a number of other ryodan members who had abilities which were either hard or impossible to replace (shizuku and her vacuum included). The second comment made about her vacuum was during the ryodan assault of the ants. The guy shisuku fought said "there is something deep about her ability".

On first impection these comments seem to be baseless but as I pondered on them I noticed something was indeed of with her ability. We have seen it little but it has done things which appear quite remarkable. It sucked the blood and spider web of that spider ant for one thing. The other time was when she absorbed ALL of the doed bodies at the auction. Now, one of the main things we have learn about nen is that it has limits and boundaries. You cannot make things that are infinite or beyond human limits. Then again, her ability has been described as having the capacity to "infinitely" suck up a number of things (granted it has limitations as to what exactly it can suck in). Even if there are limitations as to what her vacuum can absorb, sucking things up "infinitely" is overwhelmingly beyond human limits. Shisuku is a rather conspicous character but there clearly is something off with her ability and seems to have some importance to the ryodan due to her rather "special" ability. Perhaps she might have a big part in the plot once the ryodan is relevant once more.

He said that because he doesn't know about Nen abilities. Remember only a few of them were able to get some abilities from Puf, the others don't know about how using/developping it.

Well, she is "special", but not exceptionnal. Her abilities are remplacable.
1 - Her 'storage' capacity :
We already saw at least 2 persons that are able to do the same thing, and better on the top of that (The guy that get captured by the Ryodan and which Kuroro stoles the ability "Fun Fun Cloth" (that can minimize even a human being) and Knov's Mansion.
2 - Her 'sucking' capacity : (don't misunderstand it lol)
Maybe her main ability, fighting, defending and usefull. But some conditions has to be met and since she isn't really seems to be a fighting type (well, not as fast as she should be to outlast the spider) she needs some support where others characters doesn't.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Yeah...she's rather forgetful, and airhead-like too. If she had a better head attached to her shoulders, she could be a very frightening foe.

And it's chapters like these that make me flip-flop between favorite characters. Killua is so awesome.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

i think what Shalnark meant was the other girls power. i forgot what her name was but its the one who can read minds and can shoot 6 memory bullets in less than a second. She definitely has a rare and useful ability.

Killua: anyone who thinks Killua is awesome say "aye"
god dam, he can use En and Kanmaru at full potential. He also doesnt need a large range for his en since his lightning attack is short range. too bad he cant keep Kanmaru going forever.

Can't be that person. She's dead.

What would be awesome is if he set up this en/Kanmaru combo right next to an electrical wire so that he could recharge throughout the whole thing. That way he could keep it up for longer.

Anyway I think that pufu's actions are only going to delay the King getting back his memories. Once he does though, all hell will break loose.

Shalnark included pakunoda and shizuku in her comment though.

It is quite interesting killua can finally use en. It shows how fast the ant guy is though. Killua is using a technique which allows him to react without any form of lag and a technique which allows him to fell the enemy just an instant earlier than what he would otherwise. For such a extreme measure to be necessary the ant must be insanely strong, even if just a clone.

I don't think its the case that En was needed keep up or surpass Pufu's speed... We have already seen Killua dodge Pufu's attack twice (with a struggling person on his back) simply by using Kanmaru.

I think the use of En was to further make sure he could protect Komugi since he was unable to move at all from his spot.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

The attacks killua dodged were not aimed to him though, I would think that made it simpler for him.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

If anything that would make it harder rather than simpler...

Considering your in control of your own body, a attack aimed at you could be dodged by parrying and twisting your body as well as moving out of the way.

However a attack aimed at a foreign body, that you are carrying and have no control over, can only be dodged by moving completely out of the way.

We have already seen Killua stand in front of Yupi, tell him that he was going to attack him before doing so, and even then Yupi couldn't react or do anything about it.

From what we have seen so far Killua seems to be a good deal faster than both Yupi and Pufu in movement and attack speed when using Kanmaru.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

Dunno if killua would be faster than pitou if he was complete though. On top of that, pitou should be a deal weaker than what we was considering he gave a considerable portion of his body to the king. Wonder if the attacks pitou is receiving now will add up to hakoware. I don't think killua's attacks themselves will add that much to it but any amount does help.

You meant Pufu instead of Pitou (The cat). Pufu said that it'd very difficult to catch up with Killua even at complete form so Killua would be faster.

I think the damage to Pufu will not add up the numbers in Hakoware, but instead decreasing the total amount of Nen from Pufu, thereby shortening the time it'd take to render him bankrupt, so yeah, either way, any attack on Pufu helps.

But then I don't think it's that important though, because the King will find out pretty soon about Pufu's plot and we can be assured that Pufu will meet his demise by the hands (or tail) of the King.

Killua has surpassed the speed of Netero's punches, but not its power, though Killua is still mastering his nen abilities. Imagine what kind of monster he will be 10 years down the storyline...

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

I honestly doubt killua has surpassed the speed of netero's punches. Netero's punches were faster than the speed of sound -allegedly- and on top of that there was massive size and and an overwhelming amount of arms. Killua is undoubtedly good, but lets not compare him to the man lol.

I said Netero's punches, not Netero's nen ability. And take note that none of Killua's attacks show him talking/thinking - which means his movement has become faster than thought, because he programmed his body to automatically evade or counter-attack every movement of his enemy. And of course, Killua IS faster than sound. The battle with Yupi proved that - Yupi hasn't even finished starting to scream when he was hit multiple times.

And logically, lightning, which is a form of electric current, is faster than sound. That's why thunder comes after the lightning strike.

Re: Hunter x Hunter by Togashi Yoshihiro

I honestly doubt killua is moving at the speed of sound -which was something netero could do with his regular punches and his nen ability-, let alone at the speed of lightning.

Explain this then.
