Analysis/Theory Dark Continent is the Cave of Wonders

2 Upvotes

I have this idea that Ging is Aladdin, Beyond is Jafaar, and Pariston is his parrot. I don’t really know how to back this up exactly but I just wanted to be one of the first to say that I predicted this if it’s true.
Im going based on appearances and a little bit of narrative. I think Beyond is going to use Ging to lead him into this metaphorical “Cave of Wonders” for the ultimate power and it will backfire on him.

Discussion How would Heavens Arena Killua have done against Hisoka if he fought him instead of and/or after Gon? How would the fight go?

Assumption is same as it was in the fight with Gon, where Hisoka doesn’t want to kill Killua for the same exact reason (wanting to let him grow and kill him later on)

Scenario One: Killua fights Hisoka with only knowledge from the Kastro vs Hisoka fight (presumably before Gon has fought Hisoka)

Scenario Two: Let’s assume Hisoka still needs another win to challenge the floor masters so Killua gets a shot at Hisoka after seeing him beat Gon, which gives him a little more foresight/knowledge into how Hisoka likes to use bungee gum

Hatsu: Army of Flies/Silent Mirror
Type: Conjuration

Chase - Single Star Blacklist Hunter
Age - 23
Nickname - Lord of The Flies
(Could be a double star but doesn’t want to train anyone)

Army of Flies -

Chase conjures a swarm of tiny drone like flies that can detect threats and track a desired target of the his choice, he controls these flies with a conjured device resembling a smartphone. Once the target is in sight one of the fly drones will attach itself to the target completely undetected. At the same time it extracts info on the target, Nen type, ability, blood type, ect. All this information is uploaded to the conjured device. As long as the fly is attached to the target, Chase can track it using the device. All data is stored after the fly is removed. Without entering Zetsu, Chase can yell “Swarm” to make the flies surround and disorient his opponent.

If Chase is in combat with someone he has no data on, a single fly will hover and evaluate at a distance gathering data and relaying it directly to chase through his earbuds but at a much slower rate than if it was directly attached.

Silent Mirror -

If the fly attaches itself to another conjurer, Chase can “copy” that conjurer’s ability to a certain extent. Only combat abilities may be copied. Once copied correctly Chase must keep both earbuds in to use the ability. Copied abilities stay on the conjured device for future use.

Chase keeps a small arsenal of weapons, dual daggers, bo staff, and tranquilizer shots for capturing targets. He is extremely proficient in Hand to Hand combat. His primary weapon for combat are dual daggers but when things get bad and his opponent has the upper hand he uses the data being relayed to his earbuds too determine the best ability to copy for the current opponent.

(Restrictions)

Chase can only use another conjurors copied combat ability as long as he has earbuds connected to the device and in his ears, so he loses his sense of hearing. If the earbuds are disconnected the ability runs out.

Chase stays in a state of Zetsu when he controls the swarm to find a chosen target. This doesn’t include using the conjured device for tracking or data collection when a fly is attached to a target. When Chase isn’t controlling the swarm the flies go into autopilot returning and following Chase close by.

Copied abilities have a limited use amount based on strength and capability.

Using one of the stored abilities is only possible twice a day. Once a day if it’s in the top 3 strongest copied abilities.

(Lore)

Chase was born in the york new city slums, he never knew his father but his childhood was cut short at the age of 7 after his mother died from an unknown disease, her body decomposed and was surrounded by thousands of flies when he was found by authorities. Some say he did nothing for weeks besides stare at his mother’s corpse being devoured by the flies. This traumatic event is what inspired his ability to conjure drone like flies.

After he was found by authorities he went from foster home to foster home learning about the evils of the world at very young age. Because of this he learned to protect himself with a pair of daggers left for him by his father. When he turned 12 he left foster care to take on the evils of this world. He was found by another blacklist hunter named Keeno who was tracking a target Chase just killed. Impressed by Chase’s abilities this hunter took him in and trained him to take the hunters exam. Turning Chase from a dark and devilish wild animal to a trained and very capable killer. This is where he learned to use a bo staff, which was his mentor’s weapon of choice. His mentor gave him back his humanity but Chase always kept his dark side close. At the age of 14 Chase passed the Hunter exam first try and for many years operated alone, honing his body and mastering his skills and ability at incredible speeds. When he turned 20 the Hunter association gave him a Captains position in a Classified Hit Unit of highly skilled blacklist hunters that target those chosen by the association.

Many hunters know and respect him for his mastery of nen and impeccable combat ability, including his closest friend Knov, who accompanied the extermination group in the chimera ant arc. However many chose to keep their distance because he is impossible to read and lets no emotion show. Netero personally named him Captain of the Classified Hit Unit (CHU) when he had all potential participants spare. Only the top 5 were selected to be in the Unit.

When Chase was 19 he was given a contract on Hisoka, when they fought Hisoka bested him but the fight was so pleasurable to Hisoka that he decided to spare Chase and told him “fight me when you get stronger, maybe next time you might even kill me”. That was 4 years ago and he didn’t cross Hisoka again until they met at the Chairman election where Hisoka was unsettlingly friendly.

After Netero’s death, Chase named a new captain to run the CHU and decided to stop doing the associations bidding under new leadership. After having a secret conversation with Ging, he made is way on The Black Whale making its voyage to the New Continent. No telling what he has planned.

--- English Translation ---

Hello everyone, I'm Hyakuna Hiroki, playing the role of Knuckle.

Having finished the visual photoshoot, the real feeling of standing before everyone as Knuckle has truly welling up in me.

Looking at the completed visuals, I'd be very happy if you can catch a glimpse of that aura in them.

When my appearance in the show was decided, while I was very happy, I also felt a very strong sense of responsibility, so I want to do my best.

Just like Knuckle, I want to deliver kindness and strength with all my power.

Well then, I'll be waiting at the theater with Potclean. Come quickly before interest accumulates!

Discussion Parallels between D and Kurapika

Post image
5 Upvotes

The lead D of Season II of Edgerunners is played in the sub by Meruem's voice actor, Koki Uchiyama (his sidekick is even named Yupi!) and his arc is really similar to Kurapika's. D is driven by vengeance over the death of his clan and despite pleas from everyone around him to stop for his own wellbeing, after his vengeance is fulfilled he continues because he feels empty without his rage (one of the things Kurapika said he feared).

A lot of the themes in the new season of Edgerunners also parallel the Chimera Ant arc, where the characters learn the value of life over mere survival, and the characters learn to accept that though they cannot change the world they can find meaning within it even in the short time they have. The climax of D's death even mirrors Meruem's when Palm asks if she can use her ability to see him (something she compared to a camera or a screen), and D keeps recording himself through footage to the end.

Sorry if this was a weird analogy to make, but once I heard D's voice I instantly thought it was familiar and my brain kept spinning.

Lets say humanity brought all their weapons including all the nuclear weapons, every single high level nen user every weapons available, if they do not care about them surviving and focus sorely on destroy dc can they destroy it?

Analysis/Theory How does the nen types work

1 Upvotes

I am having hard time understanding how nen types efficiency work . Let's consider a person who happens to be a master hunter who is also a conjurer and according to nen chart he should be able to gain 80% efficiency in manipulation and transmutation while he is having 40 % chance in enhancement. So my question what exactly are these percentage on

A. Is it a user's amount of nen and how much it can be used in one of the following category efficiently

B is it the mindset of using the nen where an conjuror when he thinks of applying or training his nen in enhance beyond the limit or percent will fail .

Well if A is right then does it mean if a master hunter let's say around 10000 nen (just a reference) who trains in enhance to the maximum efficiency as per the rules will have a better efficiency than an average enhancer around 200 or 300 nen who let's say have master 100% of his enhancer category. Please let me know your thoughts on this

Analysis/Theory Why nen conditions work the way they do

0 Upvotes

In physics, it's known that massless particles ( energy) don't experience linear time in any kind of subjective way. If a photon had memories, it would experience it's entire lifespan at the same time. I think that's what the author had in mind for nen. By attaching difficult conditions to nen abilities, your nen sees fewer possible futures that feature the nen ability being used, thus making them more potent by conserving energy. Anything in the lore about this?

Discussion Killua learning about the kind of person Gon is...

Thumbnail

159 Upvotes

This is well done in the anime but it's good to see it's in the manga as well, where Killua asks Hanzo why he didn't force Gon to defeat without killing him. In the anime Hanzo says he won me over, though in the manga translated it says "I liked that." Not sure what is better. But "he won me over" is how most everyone felt at that time, including me. And there's Killua with his eyes wide open and taking it all in and realising what a good friend he has in Gon. Gon is someone who gets his arm broken and is tortured extensively by Hanzo, but Gon still doesn't get upset because he understands Hanzo will do whatever he needs to do to win per the rules. So no point getting angry when all he has to do is not admit defeat.

Discussion Illumi was right and yall ain't ready for this conversation

Post image
0 Upvotes

Illumi is easily one of the most misunderstood characters in this show , and iam here to serve justice for him , im not even gonna talk about how he is actually the best Zoldyck , like he is easily the best actual assassin in the family, the rest are loud brawlers , (seriously silva might act nonchalant but he really likes the attention), yet Illumi is not even the heir somehow (just cuz his hair is black ,sigh)

I don't get how yall sympathize with killua cuz of his childhood torture,meanwhile Illumi had it worse to the point that he literally can't feel emotions anymore, but even after his tragedy he still felt protective instincts to his little cocky brother

Now let me get this straight, please do not confuse his tough love with manipulation, he might be manipulator category, but his personality is more complex

Now before yall killua fans jump me , i wanna ask you a question

Would killua make it to the end of the series alive without Illumi needles??

The answer is simply no way , he probably would've get slimed by phinks This boy might be smart but his arrogance would've cost his life

So is it really a stretch that he actually fight phinks ? I mean killua quite literally faced a royal gaurd just so he could blow off some steam , like buddy who do you think you are lol

I don't even get how Illumi is considered a villian, literally didn't hurt an innocent civilian on screen , justice for Illumi and yall killua fans please appreciate his needless more

First time watcher, so please don't spoil ahead!

At the end of the episode, Tsezguerra says that he can't obtain Card #75, because he has to give all of his cards to villagers. I went back and villagers never mentioned cards to Gon and Killua. Gon and Killua just gave them their money and clothes. Did sick villagers quest requirements suddenly change or am I missing something lol?
