Reminder that the Succession War will go on until only one prince is left. The battle started on the Black Whale but it can continue on the New Continent.

I don't think this arc can be longer than the CA arc. Character introductions are what make things more complicated IMO. Togashi said he wanted to break a record. We still haven't seen most of Tsubeppa's followers who appeared in the Jump Ryu video for example. The pacing is deliberalety slow, but he can switch it up anytime.

Imo the SW will end the Kakin Monarch so there will be no winner. Why can't it? There's far more important characters that CA arc and plotlines.

I feel like some crazy situation like a martial law 2.0 could set everything to be done in a couple of chapters, Togashi is known for that type of conclusion already.

 

[Oobiman]

I just hope Tyson doesn't die a stupid death like the 8th prince.

50 chapters is a lot, it means that togashi already killed Hisoka or Chrollo by now.
And why show the 9th prince and soldier when talking about the 50 future chap, does this mean that he's still not dead?

Im not sure the first statement is correct, based on what we know the battlefield seems sort of restricted to the first two levels right?

Hm like with palace invasion arc, once the narrator begins mentioning a timer, the high stakes fast pace action begins

Anyone knows what this is about?

 

[Demonspeed]

??? Anime information? Could be a new season but I doubt it(would be 1 cour for sure). If there are really anime news I could see a new movie or some kind of rerun for the new game's promotion and incoming volume maybe?

 

[HxHFan1]

I don't recognize the guy on top, being the spider symbol.
Maybe it's new movie and that guy is the villain?

That's Omokage, a movie only character from the first movie, Phantom Rouge. He is the previous #4(not canon).

It's the usual clickbait. HxH is at AnimeJapan every year. One year it was a reissue of the DVDs/Blu-rays, another Gon and Killua's VAs did something, etc.

The person who tweeted that knew it would get that kind of reaction. It's all about the "engagement". Notice the use of exclamation points to make it seem like it's something new, never happened before, etc. All to get the "Anime returning?!" headlines.

BUT THIS YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT!

 

[Devilitachi1988]

I recall that HxH changed publisher or publishing frequency or something along those lines, which was suppose to have us get more than 10 chapter batches per year or at least more consistency. Am I remembering this wrong?

There were rumors like this but nothing about more than 10 chapter batches. Some were expecting monthly releases etc.

 

[Devilitachi1988]

Ah so it was just a rumor. Then I'm curious about something: Togashi is 58 years old and after 10 chapters he takes 1-1.5 years off at least. At this pace how is HxH ever gonna end?

??? Where does this come from?

There is nothing ATM but he was posting daily updates on his Twitter account not long ago. Chapters not being published doesn't mean he stops drawing.

 

[mrsticky005]

I think there is a huge misconception that a long hiatus means the mangaka aren't working on their manga the whole time.

Making manga or comics is more than what you see on the published page. Each author and artist has their own methodology but
I can pretty much guarantee that an arc as convoluted as the Succession War Arc must have taken months if not years of writing and rewriting and rewriting scripts and a bunch of other stuff in the writing process.

And even if and when they actually aren't doing anything related to making manga
let's not forget they are still humans.
I mean even machines need to recharge.

 

[shionoro]

Especially with Togashi's writing process, who writes WAY more than he shows.
