Fun Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread [01]

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread - Part 1

I always thought of it as always being there but only some can see it and others can not, it's not like the camera is a human being, it films what is there and if nen is there I'm sure it captures it, but only skilled Nen users can see it. But yes I think Akia has the right idea with how cameras sometimes manage to film 'ghosts'.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread - Part 1

How can a camera pick up things and digitize it, it doesn't actually make sense in the context of Nen, because well, Nen isn't real. So I think what Akia and Uriel said works for me. It's like a Ghost in a photograph, supernatural, but somehow it left its imprint. Thanks for tackling this query of mine guys.

I always saw it as something akin to a colour blind person viewing a photograph/video. The colours are there, the person simply can't see them is all.

Spot on. I think you have the right idea here.

That is a wonderful analogy!

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread - Part 1

So watching the new episode of the HxH anime (33), a question came into mind. How is aura able to be recorded on film? I mean I know its actually there, but the whole Gyo watching the video never made that much sense to me. How can footage secretly show up? The 1999 series added a line about a manipulation user filming the video, that made some sense to me, but still not really (and that's filler anyway). So any thoughts or possible explanations for this?

First, remember this: This is a fantasy show. Anything is possible. What works in their world doesn't necessary mean it works the same as the real world and doesn't require logic.

Second: Maybe their cameras are so advanced that they can capture nen. Imagine it if it's combine the normal camera and the thermal camera. It captures the normal footage and the heat areas.

However, in order to watch the heat areas, you need to use a certain footage filter, and in this case, the filter is the gyo.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread - Part 1

This must have been mentioned before.

But this new world must be the equivalaent of the gourmet world in Toriko world

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread - Part 1

Yeah I think a lot of people thought of the Gourmet World in Toriko when reading that particular chapter (I know I did xD). I think it's less the fact that the Dark Continent is an unexplored world rather than the fact that it seems to be a continet which surrounds the regular world. Both series' tamed worlds seem to be in the middle of a giant lake belonging to a huge continent.

It looks like the Japanese volume 23 has a little bit of censorship too.

Spoiler

I took two pictures of what Viz censored, and to be honest it's not that bad.

Spoiler

censored

uncensored

Looks like even the Japanese volumes are censored! I though the censorship was Viz's doing.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread - Part 1

Originally,I wanted it post it up at the anime thread but it doesn't fit.
This is all taken from the 2004 data book.
This is the result of the popularity poll for the 2nd and 3rd round.It took place at the beginning of the chimera ant arc.

Spoiler

Even if it is in chinese,I think it still understandable.


And then ,there is also a poll for the best fight in the series.

Spoiler

There is also a poll for the best "fight" without resorting to much violence.

Spoiler

Another poll for the nen ablity .Guess who came in first.

Spoiler

A poll for the best quote.

Spoiler

The translation for the best quote.

Spoiler

My chinese is horrendous. So, I'll just try my best to give a rough translate.
1st -Actually...it is the opposite Gon ,I'm the lucky one.I'm glad to be able to meet you.(Killua)

2nd- Gon...you are just like the light. Sometimes it's jarring to the eye ,making it hard for me to look .Even so, can I still stay by your side? (Killua)

3rd - Even if my secret got leaked out ,I won't regret it. Because I have a bunch of good friends here. (Kurapika)

4th -The ball has to be hold by Killua.... (G.I) (Gon)

5th -I will most definitely introduce Killua to him! I'll say he is "my best friend in the world"! (Gon)

6th- I want to be friend with Gon...(Killua)

7th -Are you guys willing to believe me, to eat my bullets ? (Pakunoda)

8th - Why don't you think about the people that you killed ? (Gon)

9th - To be able to meet you ,it is really wonderful ! (Gon)

10th - Uvogin ,do you hear it? This is the lullaby that we're performing for you.
(Chrollo)

11th - I'll bet my life one it. (Kurapika)

12th -Kaito will definitely be alive.He won't ...lose to that kind of person! (Gon)

The remainding is some bunch of quote by Hisoka that I don't want to translate.

Re: Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread - Part 1

Yea I actually own the 2004 guide book, I am still pretty glad I picked it up. Some of the most popular choices are fairly obvious to me. I'm glad to see the non violent fights mentioned. I'd be really curious to see a Shonen Jump poll taken of the most recent two arcs being counted. I'm sure Netero vs Meryem and Gon vs Pitou would be up there, though my favorite NGL battle is probably Yupi vs Knuckle, Shoot, Meloreon, Morel and Killua and if it counts for one big battle the Spiders vs the ants.

With the exception of Bisuke .I didn't really expect that she will come in first for the nen ability.
I know.It is about time they do another poll. It's overdue.
I didn't really like Gon vs Pitou because the power up things annoy me.
For me ,it will be: (Just based on the two recent arc)

Best fight
1)Killua vs Ortho siblings and the chimera ant soldier.
2)The spiders vs Zazan squad
3)Killua vs Palm
4)Gon vs Knuckle
5)Moral vs Leol
6)Zeno and Netero vs Pitou
7) Ging vs anonymous hunters

Best non violent fight
1) meryem vs komugi
2) Palm vs Meryem
3)Pariston trolling the Zodiac
4) Killua vs Illumi (election arc)
