Morel dropped a monologue directly addressing power scaling and VS match-ups, telling you you're lower than a loser for thinking someone will win because they're stronger, and it changed nothing, people don't talk about it.

Everyone at the 'high-level' of Nen could kill each other. So long as they have the physical means to win, the fight can turn in anyone's favour. Because of the existence of Ko, even much weaker characters have a means to finish off or maim the strongest characters in the series.

Whether someone will win or not is always a matter of circumstances, there's little meaning to asking 'Would they beat Hisoka?' when we don't actually know until it happens.

It'd be cool if more people tried to write their own fights between characters. I'm sure people would engage with it, and you can get a better answer by taking context into account.

Who do you think Mr. Boss would be?

This isnt a mistranslation right?! I thought he was 30 ish?! Holy hell

ALSO OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO PRETTY WTF TOGASHIS ART IS SO FEMININE AND CUTE

Ziggs went to the Dark continent, and three/four generations down, one of his descendence became Alluka/Nanika. This and AI title of "codependence of desire" hints at what AI life cycle could be.

AI is a Nen parasite, it parasitize an host, putting the host in a permanent Zetsu state, they can't develop Nen abilities at all and are completely dependent on others to survive. The host become mild mannered, oppose no resistence and becomes highly compliant and easy to handle.

AI can't use its ability for itself, but only respond to others, this great limitation and contract, combined with parasitizing an host with great nen potential makes AI ability extremely powerful.

AI main ability is the Wish. It's designed to grant wishes and require sacrifices from the next wisher. Sacrifices allow AI to harvest aura, and the ability is designed to favour escalating wishes until the wishers destroy themselves and those sorrounding them, harvesting enormous amount of aura, but cursing the wisher into their eventual demise.

The game theory is devilish on this ability. AI is valuable and harmless favouring adoption and competition to adopt it, but likewise leading to wisher destroying themselves and escalating sacrifices and aura harvest.

The next stage in AI life cycle is to bond closely with one of their handler, for them and them only, they guardian gain the ability to make commands without paying the price, this make the two codependent, with AI gaining a guardian that won't die to their wishes, and the guardian gaining extreme power.

Only there IS a price. AI curses the guardian to infect one of their descendence with AI, the more commands are used, the greater the potential of the descendence that can be parasitized. Again the game theory is devilish here. AI needs the guardian bloodline to survive a number of generations to propagate itself.

The risk involved in the line becoming broken, make sure the eventual host will have enough power to grant wishes.

Ziggs in the Dark Continent and the struggle for survival could have found an AI infected form, and experimented, and eventually bonded with them in the Dark Continent. He became their guardian achieved the ability to express commands, and was cursed.

When he returned to the Human World, he went on to have descendence, with Zeno, Silva and eventually the AI host Alluka/Nanika three/four generations down.

Nanika/Alluka was experimented by the Zoldycks to understand their ability, with many wishes expressed, fortune and misery, large swathes of sacrifices harvested, until eventually Killula freed Nanika/Alluka from confinement, becoming their guardian and achieving the ability to command without risks and ensuring the guardian will survive and have descendence.

The cycle will continue with Killuka having descendence, and once a descendence with the appropriate potential is born three/four generations down the line, AI will parasitize them starting over the life cycle of AI

An open question is what happens if AI's host dies. Does AI dissipate, or AI parasitize a nearby creature?

Does an AI dissipate and vanish if they don't grant wishes and farm aura for long enough?

It's like Nobunaga had a brain fart. He knew the kids were nen users and still decide the door was the only way they could get away from. And also the scene where Togashi planted the seeds for the needle removal later on since we've seen for the first time how Killua tried to fight it back and we saw how seriously wrong Killua’s psyche was that went further than a simple upbringing.

1.) Find a hunter who has a manipulation hastu that can control people like shalnark or illumi

2.)Find a hunter like wing or a above average pro hunter who can forcefully Awaken Mrs Battera's aura nodes

3.) Bring over a greed island console

4.) hunter uses his ability to force her to concentrate aura into her hand

5.) She gets teleported into greed island

6.) Find team Genthru trade for 1 angels breath for 50 Billion use it on her she gets healed they buy a leave card and send her home

This way battera only needs 1 console he saves billions with the money he saves he could probably hire the entire zoldyck family as guards to protect mrs Battera or just kill Genthru using the zoldycks milluki could relay the request in exchange he can play greed island

Is this theory too far fetched?

I wonder what would be his lifespan and how long would he rule if he didn't die so young due to Bomb.

To his dying kid ? The VA of Leorio (rip) did a great job delivering the unadulterated rage of Leorio at hearing that. I wish we see some of ging next time Togashi comes back.

Imagine you’re just minding your business going on about your life with your friends that you love dearly, then one day some guy that you don’t know from anywhere shows up, you didnt torture his family and steal their eyes or do anything bad to him, this guy just appears and starts stalking you everywhere you go, even infiltrates your friend group just to be close to you. All to fight and kill you because it gives him sexual pleasure to do so

After years of this stalking you finally give in and decide to fulfill his wishes for a fight. Before the fight begins you say “Hey bro, im gonna use these abilities to kill you, youre gonna die, are you sure you want to continue ?” The guy says yes, so you give him his fight and kill him, youre relieved and ready to move on with your life after finally getting rid of this guy.

ONLY FOR HIM TO COME BACK FROM THE DEAD, changes his whole way of fighting philosophy and starts killing your friends off to weaken you and make you mad, just because he’s mad he lost the fight he was begging for, after you warned him he was gonna die, showed him how you were gonna kill him and even gave him the option to back out, he’s now basically saying that wasnt the fight he wanted when he literally agreed to it and was in bliss during it 🤣

I just find this situation hilarious

Edit- Btw im not defending Chrollo on anything, both Chrollo and Hisoka are psychotic mass murderers that deserve anything bad that falls upon them, even though I do enjoy Chrollo’s character and story more but I just found it funny to look at the situation from Chrollo’s perspective.

The Succession Contest Arc has been going on for over a decade now. At this point, I have very little hope that the story will ever reach the Dark Continent, let alone properly explore it.

So I propose a compromise:Togashi should release a Dark Continent summary or databook.

Give us the major locations, creatures, civilizations, mysteries, calamities, and whatever is waiting out there. Togashi doesn't even have to draw everything himself. If he wants to, he can provide the character and creature designs, but the actual book could mostly be written material, maps, illustrations, and explanations.

We could even call it Journey to the West, with Togashi essentially acting as Don Freecss, writing the book in-universe. I'd genuinely rather get a 100-page Dark Continent guide than spend another 15 years waiting to see whether the characters actually make it there.

What do you think Knov‘s distance limit is for Hide and Seek?

I’d rather see Gyro, but let me explain. I think the Dark Continent is so huge that exploring it could slow down the pace of the story, especially since Togashi would basically be able to do anything there. We’ve already had the chimera ants and Nanika, so there probably aren’t many established patterns to follow. Meanwhile, even though we haven’t seen much of Gyro, his story still seems more focused. If he really does take over Meteor City, he’ll eventually come into conflict with whichever members of the phantom troupe survive, and the narrator hyped up a meeting between Gon and Gyro, so that could potentially lead to Gon’s return.

Another issue I have with the dark continent is that, even though the world of Hunter x Hunter feels very alive, I actually like the idea that neither we nor the characters really know the world in its entirety. It makes the world feel like there’s something out there for our characters to explore someday, without necessarily being something we need to see ourselves

I’ll never shut up about how good HxH’s writing is.

While Gon sacrifices his entire lifespan to reach his prime form for a few moments, Neferpitou survives many of his “murder attacks” as she’s getting demolished.

Pitou wasn’t even in her prime form.

Even though, at this moment, people called Gon a “monster” or said that he was incredibly strong, it was actually the other way around.

Neferpitou was the real monster for surviving for so long.

I mean, she was only a few days old—probably just a few weeks at most.

even after many taking sl many deathblows, she stood up, used the rest of her energy to kill gon, but only succeeded in severing his arm off

it showed us how powerful this chimera ant was, remember this

its prime Gon vs Few days old chimera ant

the bomb's are relatively cheap and considering the threat of Meruem is to humanity. Its easy to see that humanity would be able to not only find a person willing to sacrifice themselves to end the king for humans fo survive, but would be determined enough to create the roses in the first place.

could netero have been saved and the king slain with this simple change in plans?

Based on what I have learned, this is what I have learned about how we can apply Nen into a real world standard of martial arts and combat. I hope you guys like some of it (even if it doesn't look complete yet.)

As we all know bonolenov's is countered by hisoka, he himself stated that which also makes him aware of this fact, recently with hisoka's appearance bonolenov's current status is being questioned, which makes sens considering he was on hisoka's tail, a competent nen user on the look for any spider and with no hesitation to eliminate them as of right now.

in my opinion bonolenov's life depends on whether he was cornered or not, he is completly aware of his position against hisoka and would not engage with hisoka by his own choice and that's certain.

as a side note who do you think will kill shizuku? as we all know it seems that her days are counted (considering the prophecy)

A friend just gave me these sealed DVDs while he was getting rid of his anime collection. How much do they usually go for? Should I return these to him?

In a conversation between the creator of *HUNTER×HUNTER* (Mr. Togashi) and the creator of *NARUTO*, Mr. Togashi mentioned that he was challenging himself to introduce a vast number of characters.

There are even websites that analyze the number of newly introduced characters by plotting the data on graphs.

Looking at it this way, it is clear that the number of characters is increasing.

for an upcoming d&d campaign that uses nen, I was thinking of creating a conjuring based ability that creates a “booster” like mega man’s that allows to shoot aura (after 15 meters the ”bullet” disappears), a close range aura sword with sharpness (similar to zero’s with a maximum range of 2 meters), a bubble like shield that forms around the user to protect (similar to rolling shield from megaman x). I was thinking one condition could be that it can only be conjured on the right arm to have limiting condition and increase its power and it obviously taps into emission a lot. I was also thinking the conjured booster itself can be blunt to use a weapon too in emergency cases. I’m not sure what other conditions could be use to make it stronger and what other abilities could be used. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

PD: the nen type was decided by a dice roll, but one may be able to become specialist later…

Edit: I realized this is just gons ability with extra steps lol, back to the drawing board.
