Hangout Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread [02]

I mean, for all we know, Killua could have accompanied zeno on missions and saw what zeno can do. He couldnt see Nen back then, but he can probably remember the kinds of explosions it causes and he can also probably tell that this Nen comes from Zeno because he knows Zeno well.

Cool but why? Can we expect some news then...

I wonder too, I assumed that should be correct.

 

[Demonspeed]

Oh, their VAs will read lines too? Cool.

There is another Puzzle January 9(or it's the last day I am not sure) it must be why. No manga news then I guess.

 

[shionoro]

This Hiatus is going to be the worst of them all. Its the first time i am ever afraid HxH might not return, because it is not going to have a hiatus notice in the mag anymore.
That can mean they just transit. It can also mean nobody knows and it might not be possible for togashi to go on anymore.

 

[Aeneas]

Regardless of what it is the way it was executed really bothered me. If it had at least been during a less important moment I don't think I would have minded.

It didn't really affect anything during the moment, though. Killua was able to react a little more quickly than the others, but if it had been left out, it wouldn't have changed anything. I just don't get the outrage lol.

The exhibition in Tokyo ends on the 9th, so yeah, it is a little weird to debut it then when it'll be around 7 p.m. over there when it releases.

Guess it's just to commemorate the end of the exhibition (until it starts again in Osaka in the summer).

This would be true if he weren't on Twitter. : P

Unless you think he won't post on there anymore.

 

[Demonspeed]

Doesn't this PV mean that HxH won't leave WSJ after all? Or do they promote series from other mags there.

It's a Jump channel in general, yeah. You can see PVs for CSM and SxF.

Though again worth noting that HxH is still among the series being published in WSJ:

What this is the best thing to happen to HxH since Togashi started his hiatus.

If Togashi would be posting on twitter, i would not be worried. But he stopped doing that.

It might be if it means a more flexible release schedule. But we do not know that yet. It co uld also be a way of jump defusing a situation where nobody knows whether Togashi can actually keep going.
If togashi would be posting on twitter and doing regular upgrades with some pages, that is fine. But a new situation without any further information is worrying to me.

 

[Aeneas]

400 came out not even two weeks ago. Give it a little more time.

Now if 6+ months pass with nothing, I’ll agree with you there.

 

[shionoro]

@Aeneas Sure, its not the time. If it was a normal hiatus, i wouldnt worry.

I just think it is kinda clear that things didnt go like togashi wanted, which is why he abandoned twitter and his last message was that he needs to figure out things.
If it had been the other way round, it would not be a problem. Like, if he goes to twitter, says "i figured out a new system, i will release whenever i want" and the sporadically post,t hat'd be fine.

But having a grande entrance on twitter just to leave it again while saying that your experiment ended in a failure is not reassuring. So ya, any sign of Togashi being fine would be appreciated, whether it is a scribble or a random post.

That's where we disagree. I think it's way too early to say he "abandoned" Twitter. If he's not working on 404-410 at the moment, there's nothing to tweet about. You also have to remember that his father passed away not that long ago.

 

[Drakrami]

How does it work? Killua didn't know Nen. Describing it to him or drawing it would be telling him that it exists.

I wouldn't say it's a plot hole. More of an asspull. We know that Tsubone was aware of Killua's Kanmuru during the Election arc but it wasn't explained how. My guess is that they check on each others at certain dates and Killua told them about his abilities (he knew Illumi's too) but we haven't really seen that so Killua suddenly saying "It's grandpa's Dragon Dive" was strange. He also got his yo-yos from Milluki but it doesn't need to be related to that.

People need to realize manga is an ongoing story that streches 24 years in HunterX case.
Are people really expecting the mangaka to have fleshed out perfectly all inconsistencies when he was drawing Chapter 46 when Killua is learning nen something like 20 years ago?
If a mangaka actually had the time to plan a web of interconnections so complicated and hindering, the manga WOULD SUCK. Because creativity would then suffer. Give or take.

Yes Killua shouldn't have known Dragon Dive, because he didn't know Nen existed. But as said above by others it's a small inconsistency that can be accepted due to a manga being created over a 24 year span.

Oh, i did not know that about his father, that might play a role then, too

So.. what's happening? Has Togashi entered his HibernatexHiatusxVasnishing mode where we will get no news and keep guessing for a long time (could be years)? At least a hope is that he has new assistants which are more engaged with the fans, the hope is that the updates will come from them.

Waiting for the announcement where HxH ends up.

Yo hunter amigos & amigas, I said in another thread that I'm making a timeline for the succession war. Here is a "sample" showing the 1st day of the trip's main events:

Spoiler

I would love to have your opinion in general, especially on the format and on readability (whether it is easy to read or not).

I might add instructions on how to read it, but first I want to test if I can do without.
