Hangout Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread [02]

Preferably I was looking for a different translations. Mangapanda I attempted but I don't know I've heard Mangastream is more reliable than them. I just want to stick with what is the best reliable translation.

I recently thought about what Togashi did in the recent chapters
and think he decided to end many character goals within DC Arc
Not only that we have Hisoka vs Chrollo/ i wouldnt be suprised if one of them really dies
we also have old characters back like Senritsu i am sure the Sonata of Darkness will play a role in this Arc

I think that too.
With less focus on the 4 mains at the moment (well, more focus on kurapika and leorio, but on a whole, the manga is giving sidecharacters A LOT more splotlight than in yorknew or greed island or even most part of the CA arc) it is obvious that the ambitions of many different hunters will play a significant role in the new arc.

As for chrollo and hisoka: I think this fight marks kind of the inofficial 'ending' of the first part of hxh.
Togashi is wrapping up some loose ends and kills characters (even important ones) which dont have much to do in the dark continent.
Before that fight, both of those characters seemed to important to die and had plot armor.
Now, with shifting focus, all bets are off

The other alternative is Viz and their translations are indeed better but they are not released as early. They release chapters every Monday instead of Thursday.

Don't know if I should post this here or the hangout thread, anyway from the new volume:

Spoiler: Some more

It says "I'm from the dark continent"

 

[Kiba]

[Demonspeed]

Heh, Hellbell is a beast.

What is the last page about?

 

[msvx]

It talks about the calamities in more detail, Full credit to putin4ever from reddit for translation:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's rough translation for last two pictures. Btw, picture of Nanika confirms that it came from Dark Continent.

First one, from top to bottom shows: chimera ants (Demi-human type), Ai, Burion, Zobae (infected human), Hellbell, Papu, Human (individual), Human (country)

First one, from left to right shows: Ferocity, Number, Fertility, Distractibility, Total

On second picture it gives description for each level in each category.

For 'Ferocity towards human': A - 1. Aggressively attack humans. 2. Biology and actions of the creature puts large amounts of human lives in danger.
B - Depending on condition the entire species become level A. (weather, natural environment, food, chemicals, etc.) C - 1. It has individual variability. 2. Depending on condition individual can become level A. (Smell of blood, being wounded, breeding season, etc.) D - Vigorless. In a sudden encounter it may attack as a defense mechanism. (Spraying poison, charge in, etc.) E - None.

For 'Number': A - One nest, host, or group contains 10000 or more. B -Few hundred to few thousand. C - Ten to one hundred D - Less than 10 E - Few

For 'Fertility and its speed': A - Once activity begins they reproduce at very high speed and numbers increase explosively. B - 1. Reproducing several times in a year and their numbers are in 2 figures. 2. Depending on condition it may switch to level A. C - Same as humans. D - There is long interval between breeding and produce few offsprings at a time. E - Do not reproduce, or it is so rare that it can be ignored.

For 'Distractibility': A - 1. Each encounter most likely results in death and it is hard to avoid. 2. Damage given will hinder everyday life, it is hard to heal and will leave permanent damage. B - 1. It is known how to avoid it, but failing to do so will most likely result in death. 2. It gives difficult to heal damage that stays for rest of the life. C - 1. Damage takes long time to heal and may result in death in some cases. 2. Damage indirectly effects large number of people. (Effects cattle or crop) D - 1. It may leave permanent damage or scar that does not effect everyday life. 2. Damage can be healed completely in few weeks. E - 1. Proper medical care will heal the damage in few days. 2. It may indirectly effect small group of humans (limited contamination or evacuation).

For 'Total': A - The threat must be destroyed immediately; however, method is unknown. Requires entire world's cooperation. B - the threat must be destroyed immediately. Method is known but costly and has high risk. National or international correspondence is necessary. C - Requires immediate provision, but it can be dealt by autonomous community. D - Requires correspondence for individual cases; however, urgency and threat is not high. E - Citizens must be warned but it is not significant.

might be a stupid question, but the 'number' catagory is in reference of how much there are in our world or at large?

They only exist in the Dark Continent so it can't be in the world within the Mobius Lake. only Chimera Ants are there and they are much tinier than the ones in the DC(or it could be because they ate humans not sure).

 

[Copy Panda]

Then how can it be known how to deal with them? Or stuff about their numbers? To whom is it known? If not to humans, why bother with the question marks in the other places?

Er I forgot, humans bought along some of that spicy calamity to our world

That's why there's only one Zobae listed maybe, and B amounts of Chimera Ants (because the Royal Ants wanted to make maybe)

 

[Demonspeed]

They probably know the methods because of Don Freecss, thanks to his East book. A few lucky people survived too, Beyond is one of them.

 

[shionoro]

So there are in fact some calamities humans, if they work together, can defeat.
But i dont see us working together enough

 

[Kanmuru]

Just started this bad boy :d

Rest in peace you crazy bastard (maybe not xD)

I think 'humans' is simply us and are there for context and scale basically

 

[shionoro]

I formulated this misleadingly: I wanted to say that there are calamities of which humans have a way of destroying them.
I didnt think so before. I assumed that there were no known ways to defeat any of the calamities.

Buzz Plus News asked male internet users "who is your favorite female Hunter × Hunter character?"

It was a close race with multiple tied spots along the way and a lot of supporting character representation. Biscuit won first place by a jump. While she's typically a cute girl, when she get into her serious battle mode she transforms into a tougher, manlier appearance. It's possible that a lot of male fans really embraced that part of her character. Surprisingly, the receptionist on the 200th floor of the Heavens Arena came in second despite only appearing a few times.

Below are the top 10 answers based on 472 male fans' choices.

• 1. Biscuit
• 2. Heavens Arena 200th floor receptionist
• 3. Machi
• 4. Shizuku
• 4. Gon's great-grandmother
• 4. Mito
• 5. Neon Nostrade
• 6. Alluka Zoldyck
• 6. Komugi
• 7. "Woman B" Killed by Tserriednich
• 8. Elena
• 8. Melody (Senritsu)
• 9. Seiko
• 9. Killua's grandmother
• 10. Reina
• 10. Amane

ANN.

Must have been a lot of troll votes in this poll , I died when I saw Woman B. Seiko didn't even appear yet.

I'm sort of surprised Canary and Tsubone aren't on there.
