I never said he didn't make a good deal of money off the volumes. I said he's not desperate for money where he absolutely NEEDS money. Like I said, if he was really THAT greedy for money, and was capable of making chapters through year, why wouldn't he go for making as much money as possible? Why only make 1 volume? Why not make 35 chapters instead of 10 chapters so he can get more money from Jump and more money from volumes selling? The logic of him only coming because cause he wants to get paid makes no sense, because without the hiatus he could easily be making WAY more money. If he wants money THAT bad why come back for a measly 1 Million a year, when he could easily come back for like double, triple or quadruple that if he worked slightly longer?
Your view on life is completely flawed. You can't tell somebody what they are and aren't physically able to do. You can't tell somebody what limits they have and don't have when they say they have health issues. If Billy the Mailman broke his leg, but is still delivers mail, that doesn't mean that Jonathan the Mailman who also broke his leg should be expected to be able to do the same thing. They're different people.
I don't get why you see it as "taking up for a snowflake"? It's has more to do with, us not knowing how severe if his issues are. If you were his boss and went over his house right now, and first thing you hear when you get in is him genuinely screaming in agony and struggling to leave his bed, are you going to scold him and force him to go to work? Maybe his issues aren't that severe, but we don't know if he's lying about them are not, and we have no reason to believe he is. However, you and a ton of other HxH fans are treating something that's a very serious health issue for many ppl, especially when they're older in age, like its a common cold.
So you're only really able of thinking about one possibility, and obviously that possibility is one that makes no sense. You won the argument. NOPE!
What about if he is lazy and wants to work as little as possible, but still wants to receive a significant amount of money? How about doing 1 volume every 2 years? Wouldn't that work? Yep, it would.
Why doesn't he do more, it gives more money! He is lazy, and he doesn't really need or care about more money.
You're able to write. Oh, :O, I just said what you're physically able to do.
Things here are reaching a disturbingly level of stupidity. His like you don't live in reality, but wonderland. Is like it doesn't exist metrics in our world. Is like when a parent sees is young child unable to speak/write/read/walk or something else he doesn't goes to a doctor or specialist and asks what is wrong with his kid.
Is not about if Jonathan is expected to be able to do the same thing, but the fact that he can! Everybody is different still most things other person can do in a given situation you can also do it in that situation. Is simple excuses if you say you can't in that same situation.
What has anything to do with us knowing how severe his issues are? There is no way a person has such a severe issue that makes him lose decades of work and still keep working.
If you knew about back pain issues, you would know you're doing an amazing huge disservice to people that suffer from those kind of problems and handle it everyday, with excusing Togashi for it. Ask yourself why in the 16 years of HxH Togashi never made surgery for it? And why when he did it, he stop working for 2 years and why right after some months he returned to what he did before not having the surgery? And do you really believe that the recover of a back surgery is 2 years? Are you comparing a back pain surgery with becoming paraplegic? And the Rehabilitation for that is around half a year.
If you're interested, for really serious back surgery the recovery(and that means recovery of pain, not of being able to do any kind of work) is around 1 to 3 months. To a "Special" person you could give 6 months(The same as paraplegic surgery). but anywhere close to 2 years? Please.
Ah, I know, people are different so one can be decades recovering, right.
If I was his Boss and he was with such a degree of pain or health issues, I would make him immediately take the health procedures to get better fast. And after seeing that wouldn't be possible I would terminate his contract(and so paying the due advance money) and guide him to file for disable aid, or because he is already rich he doesn't need the aid.
"We don't have any reason to believe he is lying", you're funny, because most of wwhat you're talking didn't even came from the mouth of Togashi or Shueisha, but your imagination. The only thing said by Shueisha, is that the 2014 hiatus started with a back pain surgery. The fact that back pain had anything to do with 7 years before that point(assuming it started in 2006), and not to go to the more ridiculous arguments about it existing since YYH, so 19 years before. Is totally a ridiculous assumption and excuse.
The "Older" argument. LOL. If a person from 40-50 years is a older person what about a 70-80 years old, with 30 years more? If you don't know 40 years is middle age. You know, that time where is a men's stereotype for him to get an identity crisis and start living like a youngster, go into adventures and after way younger girls!
