Theory Predictions for next arc

[brigid001]

Well i'm sure the wait for the hiatus is frustrating for everyone(it's only been a week and i miss it so much lol) so i thought i'd create this thread to hear your thoughts on what the arc will be after the current chimera arc, if of course this isn't the last one. I personally think it will be something to do with Jairo since he has been coming up a lot in recent chapters. I'd also love if it focused on kurapika and the ryodan and leorio made another appearance(i freakin love that guy!!!) well what do u all think?

 

[Fox666]

Both Greed Island and Chimera Ant arcs are focused on Gon and Killue, so I feel very likely that next arc will focus on something else. Since the Ryodan made a brief appearance in this arc, I feel like the next one will be a second Ryodan arc.

It is still too soon to be thinking on this cuz the current arc will not end this soon, manly because of the current Hiatus and the possible future Hiatus. I think that it is needed for the manga and it would also be cool for us if on the next arc, important characters like Kurapika and Leorio appeared again. It is necessary for them to get a little more development specially Leorio, though most of it will probably be off-screen.
But an appearance of Ryodan will definitely be good too, though i don't think that after this arc, they will be much a "threat" to Gon and Killua any more. Cuz the current Villains of this Arc are definitely stronger than them, and for example IMO the King is stronger than Kuroro, manly because i don't think that Kuroro, would be able to defeat Netero, like the King did.
So if Gon and Killua overcome the difficulties that were set in this current arc, i think that the "paper" of Ryodan will be a little different.

 

[NoFreakingWay]

Hard to make predictions in this manga. I didn't see the Chimera Ant Arc coming.

However I'm expecting a Gon recovery arc, just like what most people are thinking of. This only happens if Gon won't get well in the following chapters of this arc, of course, and I don't see thing happening soon.

I would, however, like it if there's another unexpected arc coming along, one that focuses on other characters. A Ging Freecs arc would be nice.

 

[Riku]

Hard to make predictions, no one really expected Chimera arc either.

Gon is both physically and mentally broken, so recovery arc is very likely. I'd also like to see progress with Ging, Kurapika and Leorio. So I think a vacation. Killua & Co. will drag broken Gon on a tourist resort spawned around the legendary ruins his dad discovered. Not only to have fun, but it is pretty much only unfollowed glue towards Ging. Phinx wore eqyptian style clothing at one point, so maybe that is were he is from, and thus Ryodan could also be tied in.

I wouldn't mind though leaving Gon alone for awhile, and jumping to Hisoka (vs. Kuroro) mini-arc.

There are also othe un-explored possibilities. The ninja guy from the examn and his quest for the ancient scroll. The one researcher who invited Gon to visit her home. I think there are more too. Aftermath arc about the surviving/good ants adapting to live with humans. Also Jairo, though we might still see more ofhim in this arc, as well as immigration of ants.

it would be cool if in the next arc (whatever it will be)
gon and killua and kurapika and leorio meet each other again after this long time

 

[Host Samurai]

I also think that the next Arc will focus on Gon's recovery. It would be nice to see how Killua would try to build him up and thus deepening their friendship. When things are said done it would be then goodbye for them. Many seemed to forget that Killua's condition for entering NGL was to overcome Illumi's manipulation when he fought Shoot. So I think that Killua will leave Gon's side after he has fully recovered from Kaito's loss.

Random thought that I have here is Kaito's dead body still emits aura. And Gon, who has according to Pitou, sacrificed his own talent and Nen in order to obtain that magnitude of Nen. We know that in the world of Nen that almost anything is possible, so my thought of Gon's only way to regain his Nen back would be if he somehow incorporates Kaito's nen onto himself. This way Kaito would literally live within him and due to that Gon's Nen category would probably change into Specialization. I mean it would be kinda sad not to see Kaito's kick ass Nen ability again and besides Gon is a good gambler at least in Janken. He could predict which weapons he gets.

 

[Riku]

^ Interesting theory that one. That way he could also receive some of Kaitos memories, giving him possily more info or hints about Ging.

Yeah, this might also work it would be the same as the King experienced it.

I also think after the recovery Arc of Gon we will finally get to see the most anticipated fight in the entire manga: Hisoka vs Kuroro. This arc could also blend well with a Kurapica comeback since he is somehow connected with the Ryodan. The fact that we didn't get to see the other members of the Ryodan in the Ant Arc leads me to believe that the others especially Nobunaga are already looking for Kurapica.

Yeah i definitely agree with everything you said and i think this can much likely end happening, but i just hope that Togashi also gives a bit screen time to Leorio, that is definitely of the important characters the one that more development still needs IMO.

I am almost positive that this will be the last batch of chapters of Chimera ant arc, because of the anime announcement, like how FMA Brotherhood was done back when Hiromu Arakawa knew the story was coming to an ending soon, sure shed had to stretch the couple of last chapters (From 40 or so pages per chapter to 60 or so and to 100 in the last one).
Anyway there are LOOOOTS of things that could happen, and knowing Togashi he could just call it quits in a weird fashion (Like YYH), IIRC there was this Hunter (Melody was it?) that was looking for a song that killed people?? Or the ninja from the first arc.. Genei Ryodan.. Ging.. Tower of Heaven.. Killua's brother (It was a mystery, right?) Lots of things unresolved, AND knowing Togashi he could just like make other arc out of nowhere like GL and Chimera Ant arc.

 

[Netero]

Wow that's a very interesting theory, imagine Gon with Kaito's nen ability's that would just be incredible!

 

[mak123]

I hope that gon's father in on the battlefield, and hel'll meet gon at the end of the arc and that togashi will end it soon

 

[Kiba]

that would be a lame end it should continue normal it wont end that fast never

 

[kkck]

Well, I find this manga a tad hard to predict beyond extremely general and obvios things. Greed island was mentioned as a game early but who would have thought the manga could possible develop in that way? The chimera ant arc was completely random to say the least.

I do think gin will appear for a sec to help out gon though. Gin is a hunter who dedicates himself to discovering and restoring ruins. In this regard I think it would make sense for his ability to be to restore things to what they used to be. If his ability is this then at a great personal cost, since what he would be restoring would be immense -gons potential- then he could get gon to what he was like before he used his grown form.

I think the next arc will be the final arc of Hunter x Hunter.

I call it The Gyro/New Hunter Association Chairman Arc. It will be huge.

Gyro has been referenced a few times in the Chimera Ant Arc so it seems likely that he
will be in the next arc. Since Gyro seems to be hyped even more than the Chimera Ant
King I would say he's a pretty fair contender for the final villain of Hunter x Hunter.

The Vice Chairman has been talked about a few times in the Chimera Ant Arc as well
and it looks like those who follow Netero were not too fond of the Vice Chairman and
actually seem to suspect him. Morel even thought that the Vice Chairman was plotting
for the mission to fail so that he would replace Netero as Chairman of the Hunter
Association. With Netero dead and the Vice Chairman to become the new chairman
of the Hunter Association it looks like Morel had reasons to worry.

Someone had an interesting theory about the Rose Bomb Poison. Since it seems
to be highly contagious and has spread to the King, Pouf and Youpi, it is possible
that Pouf had spread the poison to all the people in the sorting. Meaning they are dead.
A good number of people will have died and the blame will fall on Netero.

There will be a civil war within the Hunter Association between the followers of Netero
and the followers of the new Chairman. This civil war will involve ALL the hunters
including the famed 3 star hunter. It will be an all out battle. And a worldwide hunt.
At the same time there will be a war against Gyro who's trying to spread evil worldwide.

Gon will have lost his nen powers. Killua will be protecting him along with
Kurapica and Leorio who will return to the series. Leorio will be an exceptional doctor.
Kurapica will have improved his normal nen abilities considerably but will not be at
Gon or Killua's level. Still he will be better. Since Gon gave up his powers he will
not be able to get his powers back with an exorcist. Killua, Kurapica and Leorio
will then escort Gon to see his father Ging Freaks. It will seem impossible until
Gon decides to go alone. At that point Gon will meet Ging. His prize for finding Ging
will be Ging's own powers transferred to Gon. Gon will use this power to defeat Gyro.

For whatever reason Gon will be targeted by the Hunter Association (it may have to do with them not wanting Gon to meet Ging. Perhaps Ging knows something that Hunter Association doesn't want Gon to know. Since Gon wants to find Ging, Gon will then
be a threat to finding out what they don't want Gon to know) Or perhaps Gyro.
Maybe both. But in any case assassins will be hired. You know who that means. Yes,
Zoldycks. Silva Zoldyck will be hired to kill Gon. Killua will then have to fight his own
father to protect Gon. Even though Killua may have been joking when he said he
would take the bounty on his own dad's head I think it will ironically become true.

As one theory goes, the Chimera Ants are actually a prototype biological weapon
I think they were made by the Hunter Association specifically the vice chairman.
The whole Chimera Ant arc will be revealed to be testing out the prototype.
It's possible that the Vice Chairman will try to kill off all the Hunters in the
palace to leave no evidence of it happening. Yet another reason why Gon
will be targeted by the Hunter Association.

Gyro will be the creator or at least financier of the Rose Bomb and of the D1 drug.
I suspect there will be a secret connection between Gyro and the Vice Chairman.

Basically we will see all the Hunters still living duke it out in the ultimate hunt for another.

 

[ish3]

The I guy above me has a nice theory.


I see about three+ more arcs possibilities are endless but I don't see Gon meeting his father until he's around twenty years old or something. Hell Gon could never meet his father and he ends up just finding his grave after all that time.

Recovery arc for Gon- I see this lasting a while. 30+ give or take.
Hisoka vs Kuroro that's another possibility
Jairo Arc-A lot of big things will happen here as how it will connect to ging and everything else is beyond me.

But this arc seems like a set up for a timeskip actually. I'm most likely wrong but what I've learned from Togashi's work he usually does timeskips when the main character gets stuck at a crossroad at what to do with his or her life.

Nice Idea. Fits to the situation, since Gon lost Kaito and he sufferes from it very much.

 

[NoFreakingWay]

Timeskips could be possible because Togashi used it much with Yu Yu hakusho, after an arc is done, to signify some changes with the characters too mundane or repetitive to be shown. But this reminds me too much about Slamdunk. If I remember correctly Sakuragi got injured right? He was out of commission for a long time even after that one last important game he was in, although he was certainly being rehabilitated. But yeah, Slamdunk doesn't have nen, so we could avoid a "rehab arc".

And the problem with Gyro becoming the new boss is that he's probably very weak. Remember they were destroyed by grunt chimera ants. Grunts. If Gyro wasn't strong enough to kill all the ants by himself I doubt he will participate in any high-level battles. Plus if Gyro is Meleoron I think he would just clean up his act and become King of NGL and East Goruto with Werefin and the others.

 

[mrsticky005]

Gyro was killed by Chimera Ant grunts when he was still human. He's likely a lot stronger now.

However I think he will be weaker than the King but more devious.

If he's not Meleoron then he will be like Meleroron in which he'll have a very sneaky ability.
