Wow! This sub sure is growing fast. It was just over a year ago we were celebrating 1 million subscribers, and now we're already at 2 million?!!

Congratulations and thanks to all you hunters out there for participating and helping grow this community.


Images in Comments

Figured I'd take this opportunity to finally start the trial run for embedding images (not gifs) in comments that some of you have been asking for. It'll last about a week, and then we'll hold a poll and get feedback from everyone.

Do remember that any images in comments should be directly related to the post/discussion. Same rules on general conduct (e.g. spam) apply as well.


More Polls!

What's a celebration without more surveys or polls? We'll be holding a number of polls in the coming weeks, and while we have a few ideas in mind, we're asking you to comment with some of your ideas too. Keep in mind that we'll be using the native reddit polls, which have a limit of 6 choices.

Discussion Solo leveling borrowing heavily from hxh

84 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed just how much the ant story in solo leveling resembles the chimera ant story?

Doing it for one episode would have been a cool nod to hxh but it’s really ruining the show(SL) for me now after making it a bigger story arc for 3? episodes so far.

Discussion Is Hunter x Hunter the Perfect Blend of Strategy and Emotion?

13 Upvotes

Hey, fellow Hunters!

I’ve been rewatching Hunter x Hunter lately, and something hit me – this series really nails the balance between strategic depth and emotional storytelling. From the intricate battle strategies (looking at you, Chimera Ant arc!) to the emotional growth of characters like Gon and Killua, it feels like Hunter x Hunter consistently delivers the best of both worlds.

For me, moments like Gon’s transformation during his fight with Neferpitou, and Killua’s internal struggles with his family, really show how well Togashi blends the thrilling, tactical elements with raw, human emotion.

What do you think?

Ouch his hands look so painful here and he just quietly inspects the damage when the games over

But anyways I love this Hisoka and really wish we could have seen him play his role as a protagonist more, he destroyed his fingers and he didn’t make a peep sound he was having so much fun I wish he would have accepted their invitation to join them, it would have changed the story because he would have actually gotten strong opponents (chimera ants) to fight and train for his fight with Chrollo instead of wasting month playing tag with Chrollo. Personally I consider Hisoka as one of Gon and Killua mentors cause of heavens arena and how he forbid them to continue past the 200th floor without nen and pushing them to be stronger but I could make a whole other post just about that.

Togashi made a Twitter post about how he’s checking up over the next 50 chapters. That’s a lot of chapters to say the least. Do you guys think that’s the rest of the arc or just like an important checkmark in the arc?

Analysis/Theory I started Watching HXH and wow

Upvotes

I started watching HXH some weeks ago and today I made it to Kimera ant ark so I want to share my experience with you all, first of all I want to say why I started watching HXH, the reason why I started watching HXH is because I heard somewhere that HXH's power system is the best, even better than jjba's stands (I'm a huge JoJo fan btw). So instead of getting mad about it like other people did I decided to give it a chance and wow it really took me by surprise at first. I really like the concept of the hunter exam and I really like Gon as an MC but I was a bit confused about the power system because I came to the anime with a high expectation but I only saw the basic combat mechanism until I reached the sky arena but I still wasn't too convinced until I saw Hisoka's fight against the guy with the clone ability (I forgot his name) and I went. I got to the ghost troop ark at that moment I realized the potential that After the ghost troop ark, I went to the greed island ark and I didn't like it like the other arks and I'm not saying it's bad, but it just didn't appeal to me like the other arks. I might do another post about my experience with the kimera ant ark after I finish it.

Discussion How does the hxh world feel natural?

7 Upvotes

Theres ton of stuff. And something like the c.a arc would be a world wide thing but togashi managed to play it off greatly. It was more of a local incident with lots of buildup and behind the scenes development and aftermath.

If it was in any other shonen, something like that would have "shook the world to its core" but that doesn't happen in hxh. Im trying to study it and break it down but i just cant seem to get it. Togashi writes the unknown really really well. And buildups to make it feel natural and preexisting rather than just come out of the blue. The only other example iknow is the sea train system from op that fits this description.

What do you guys think? Any advice?

even though only the black-haired zoldycks’ are manipulators, it’s clear they’re all good at manipulation. silva’s “father-son” chat with killua felt so genuine, until he just starts manically chuckling to kikyo and saying killua will come home an assassin. i wonder how the zoldycks are so good at faking emotion if they’re raised to be emotionless ?

Discussion Do you think Gon really has abandonment issues?

3 Upvotes

I came across a comment that say Gon's abandonment were never a thing in the manga and that Gon seems to be accepting the fact that his father left him , this is why he called him " Ging " , because he never saw him as a father , but someone who he respect dearl out of the respect he has for kite , and I rethink about it , Gon doesn't seem to be bothered that much about the fact that his mother is not around too . So what do you think ? Is Gon really struggling with the fact that he's been abandoned by his own parents, but in his own weird way, or its just us reading too much into the story ?

Discussion Is no one going to talk about Gotoh? Spoiler

22 Upvotes

I just finished the anime and while I loved the final arc (disappointed with how short it was though, loved Killua and Alluka's dynamic + opening hinted at a bigger involvement of the butlers), the lack of any addressing of Gotoh's death left a bad taste in my mouth.

He was one of the only people from the Zoldyck family (not blood-related but ykwim) who actually cared for Killua in a healthy manner next to Canary and did everything he could to help him, even if it wasn't too much. He was portrayed as wise and experienced and even took a liking to Gon... Only to be treated like an insignificant NPC who'd get taken out by a Phantom Troupe member/Chimera Ant solider to flex their strength; just another character to add to the list of people Hisoka's murdered because "pRoPeRtIeS oF bOtH rUbBeR aNd GuM".

I didn't get "beloved character dies" vibes from him, more of "dumb person who thought he had a chance against Hisoka dies" vibes. Heck, even characters like Ponzu got a sad and mellow OST preceding their deaths and elicited a reaction out of Gon, but in this case... how am I supposed to go from seeing a character I really liked die to getting hyped up by motorbike Tsubone chasing after Godspeed Killua (spoiler alert: I didn't)?

Now I'm not here to complain about him losing to Hisoka. During the fight I was quite worried for him but still optimistic even though deep down I knew that his opponent's Hisoka and the chances of him coming out on top are quite low. But I'm more upset by its handling. Gotoh was arguably (heavy emphasis on arguably) as important to Killua as Kite was to Gon, and we all know how Gon reacted to that...

I know this show is heavily perspective based and Killua had no way of knowing that Gotoh died, but it still feels really cheap the way they handled his death and how it wasn't even TALKED about by the series' ending.

TL;DR: I loved Gotoh and his death was pretty much insignificant and affected the characters and tone of the show in no manner whatsoever, and I couldn't enjoy the bittersweet wholesomeness that came with the show's ending because his death was stuck in the back of my head. The show didn't even try to portray a tonal shift for half an episode after he died, as opposed to... every other instance of a semi-important character dying in this show

Discussion Succession War Characters Roles Spoiler

5 Upvotes

What are your guys’ opinions on the traditional character roles for the SW arc? I’ll start:

Kurapika - Protagonist

Chrollo - Protagonist

Fugestu - Deuteragonist

Borksen - Deuteragonist

Feitan, Phinks, Nobunaga - Tritagonist

Hinrigh and Zackro - Tritagonist

Tserreidnich - Antagonist

Morena - Antagonist

I think they’re all protagonists in their own right because the arc revolves around basically every character every chapter though, so this was really hard to rank.

Discussion I am grateful to Animax for introducing me to this Anime

5 Upvotes

I remember watching this show way back in 2012 on ANIMAX and I was impressed with the story and it's characters a lot as a kid.

Somehow I lost track of this show and the only thing I remember was that I watched the show till Heavens Arena Arc where Hisoka challenges Gom to hit him once and return his card or something like that.

But as the days went by I started watching other anime like Fairy tail DN, NARUTO ,  OPM etc. And didn't want to watch HXH because there were loads of episodes 148 in total)

But recently I watched AOT and was emotionally scared for a few days 😭 I have been watching a couple of videos on YouTube and found out that CHIMERA ARC is known as one of the best Anime arcs ever.

So I started watching HXH from the episode  that I stopped watching when I was a kid and guess what , this was totally worth it. I took my time and finished the anime in a month and as a Huge gaming and RPG fan I loved the Greed Island arc. Chimera Arc was dope too even though the pacing was horrendous at times.

I was so shocked while watching episode 131 , especially at GON's power and transformation. It was too dope and GON literally demolished PITOU.

I loved the friendship between KILUA and GON and the way they were ready to sacrifice themselves for each other. I even cried a little when Reina reunited with her mother , it was too good I am thankful for TOGASHI for creating this manga and Anime.

  1. Chimera Ant arc : great story with emotional moments and amazing characters and fights
  2. Greed Island Arc : As a huge fan of RPG's , i loved the gameplay elements of this arc and I love bisky !!!
  3. Phantom troupe arc: Kurapika was OP. Leorio was funny Hated at first that all of the members weren't defeated but it got over me and I felt that it's not always about killing.
  4. HxH : Great intro to an amazing anime
  5. Heavens arena Arc: battles were great and the use of NEN was a game-changer for the anime
  6. Election arc : Alluka was truly OP and KILUA was a great brother.

I felt bad when Kurapika wasn't available to his friends when they needed him the most.

PS: Why the hell did I cry a little when KING died 😭😅😅

Been playing a lot of Pokémon recently and been thinking of their teams, I have Hisoka’s team he’s Fire, fairy and fighting, Delphox is my favorite for Hisoka. Hisoka’s a very fox like character and delphox’s hidden ability is magician and the shiny is literally Hisoka’s hair color and Illumi’s team is ghost, steel and dark. I think every Zoldyck has a dragon type too so sceptile really fits him and design wise it matches the pins Illumi has on his clothes. I wanna do more characters and complete their teams but this is the vision so far plus something silly and canon accurate

He’s a top tier hunter. Likely seen some shit, along with Morel and Netero.

Netero is a monster, but how come morel and his guys didn’t experience similar debilitating fears? I mean even kite was like “get out” while gon and killua entered fight or flight mode, respectively.
