*"One character achieves with his limits, the other limits what he can achieve".* perfect summery.

gon also learned how to negociate hostages with kurapika...

"the corpses were fakes" 4:22 ⭐️ -_- 💧

that ending was so cheesy and beautiful i loved it

I still find it funny that Kurapika brought a shovel to his fight with Uvogin

I like how you used mostly 1999 imagery for Kurapika while focusing on 2011 imagery for Gon to bring that extra contrast.

*Be forever afraid of a man who brings a shovel to a fight*

So what you're trying to say is, we shoudn't _want_ the manga to continue. We should cherish the chapters we already have.

Wow your conclusion about Greed Island being Ging's philosophy given physical form was something I'd never connected the dots on but makes all the sense in the world now that you say it. Also I really enjoyed the use of both 1999 and 2011 Hunter X Hunter!

This is a side of the HxH Fandom that I love so much.. you guys are so thoughtful and *big brain*

I wonder what will be the reaction of Leorio and Killua, knowing their close friends Gon and Kurapika are going to face a dark and unforgiving fate. We all know that Kurapika will die along with the rest of the spiders which will devastate Leorio having a dream to be become a doctor couldn't be able to save his beloved friend from tragedy, despite foreshadowing him to becoming one of the most powerful nen user and best doctor in the series and high possiblity of becoming future chairman of the Hunter organization. Leorio is destined to go into the Dark Continent and become the greatest hero of the lives which he will save in that unholy continent and withstand against the worst of the worst... but will he be able to withstand the death of Kurapika which tragedy awaits when his rage fades away? Well we will have to see... As for Gon... well he escaped death but fate still lingers behind the shadows. It's foreshadowed that very bad and twisted things will happen to him, then one day will come across a mysterious character named Gyro that would forever change his life and might be send him to the lowest of the deepest of the abyss. Despite Killua best and desperate efforts to save his only friend... it would already be to late and now have to witness the horrors seeing his greatest friend he ever had... turning into an unrecognizable monster that's far worse than demons. You should do parallels between Leorio and Killua. I know the obvious already, one is a doctor and the other is an assassin. However, If you look deeper into the surface they share alot of resemblance and opposites, for examples. They care for their close friends, one wants to save lives the other wants to kill, one holds integrity the other isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty, one wished he had a family while the other wish he didn't had a family, one was born poor while the other was born rich, and etc you get my point. Also great videos and instant like from me!

I just realized that the main 4 are a representacion of the power of friendship but with a different value. Great video as always.

"If [Kurapika] keeps cutting off his allies, there will be no one to save him" I've come to terms w the fact that he will die some time in the series, but this is my actual fear - that he dies among enemies, or worse, alone. I'd be fine if his friends couldn't save him in the end, but I hope he is in their presence when he meets his demise. It's legit making me sad thinking about it.

What's interesting about Gon's arc is that in Chapter 345 in the manga, Ging said, "This'll be a good opportunity for you to figure out what you can do as you are right now.". The narrative has already suggested that Gon is not ready to be a hunter, due to his immaturity and undeveloped mind. And we know that he won't stay cooped up on Whale Island forever, both because of the Gyro subplot and his thirst for adventure. This line mixed with you're analysis on the story's themes, suggests that if Gon were to disregard Ging's advice he may ultimately meet an untimely demise. It fits with your idea of disregarding others for desire being the antithesis of Hunter X Hunter. I have my own theories about how this could play out, but regardless this was an awesome end to "Togodshi Month", Mathwiz. Keep up the good work!

I love how most hxh arcs have anti climatic endings really makes it different from other shounen.

In the first few minutes you mentioned that some people might not like that the manga doesn't put any spotlight on gon right now.. And tbh I actually never thought about that. In a lot of other series I can get pretty annoyed, when they start following other random secondary characters even for only a chapter or 3, but with HxH, that never actually happened... My guess for why, is because Gon kinda never really was the only main focus character. I personally never watched the show to see gon's journey, but instead for basically all the characters and concepts playing off of each other. And I think a lot of people probably also read it that way, and never even bat an eye, when gon went away before the journey to the dark continent arc

Sasuke vs Goku when

I am a simple person. I see a thematic video about Kuraipka, saying I clicked at the speed of light would be an understatement.

"That answer was gratitude."

Damnit. All that lies ahead for my favourite character is death.

I think this maybe your best Hunter video wiz. I can feel a degree of confidence, the wording is so concise and it almost feels like poetry at points.

This is an amazing thematic breakdown of one of HxH core themes. It's been a while since I've seen a really good one. Thanks!

Basically, a shortened version of this can be looked as: "If you're lost, keep searching. You will find something."

The last part of the video shows that HxH philosophy is ultimately very similar to Onepiece. It’s clear that in Onepiece the end goal of finding the Onepiece isn’t what the story is all about and it’s the adventure that will make it valuable to us too. Luckily though we’ve already been assured by Oda and in the manga that the Onepiece isn’t just “adventures we had along the way” but the adventures will make things more sweet when we finally do get there.

Togashi made his arcs flip between anti-clamatic and climatic with the intention to support the theme of Journey and Destination. Every arc despite it's resolution or lack thereof feels tense and rewarding. His character creation emphasizes this as well. Take Gon. Gon's goal is to meet his father. Gon also decides to sacrifice himself to defeat Pitou despite not meeting his father. In that instance, Gon cared more about this detour than his goal. This serves as a rejection of the destination theme. Kurapika is a rejection of the Journey theme, sacrificing himself and his relationships for the sake of his goal. Killua has no real sense of goal and left his home with the intention of finding that supporting the Journey theme. Leorio's character support the desination theme as he decides he needs to leave in order to achieve his goal. However he doesn't act in extremes like the other characters. We can turn to Hisoka who is a character who is Journey focused as he risks losing and dying in his desire to fight however he is also capable of waiting for Gon to develop or Chrollo's nen to return showing that he has goals. Chrollo and the spider are Journey focused as he says himself when Gon asks them what they fight for, they respond with no real answer. Meruem is interesting for the fact that his journey leads him to change his goal which supports the Journey theme. I'm sure there is more characters to analyze but there is a more prominent theme shared by all characters of the show and that the aforementioned desire or Egoism. Hunters are ruthless and selfish. The only characters who ever develop are those who learn to not be selfish. Gon is incredibly selfish and when his selfishness peaks, he learns that he can not be that way anymore. Ging is selfish to leave his child behind in pursuit of desire. Leorio wants to be a doctor, Kurapika's desire for revenge. Any character in the show is "Hunting for their dreams". However it's the characters who learn Altruism that are worth a damn which creates yet another theme in itself. Togashi is truly a master writer.

During the chimera ant arc, the series feels like it changed from a shonen to a seinen. Going from gon to kurapika doubles down on that.

I‘m sooo glad I found this channel. Honestly, this video is a masterpiece! I love your precise and eloquent use of words, it’s really easy to see that you are a good analyzer just looking at your use of vocabulary. Anyways, the way you pointed out the contrast between Gon and Kurapica was so damn interesting and it is sth I haven‘t really thought about. Another great aspect I never actually had thought about is the intended use of anticlimactic moments in order to strengthen the narratives main message. You already enumerated so many good examples and I really love how Togashi has settled this concept subtly into his manga. Looking back, it even makes the finale of the anime with the main message even more beautiful and inspiring. Honestly I enjoyed the video with its positive messages and I also want to appreciate that you used footage of the old anime and not only the 2011 one, that was very refreshing 😂👍 So Thank you for this brilliant video, you well deserved my like and subscribe, I‘m looking forward to more content. Thank you for your nice work!

Next is gonna be gon vs a dog Gon do what he wants Dog do what others wants

I think Leorio would make anything for his boi Kurapika

I like kurapika, I'll follow his story but I don't want Gon's story to be over. I really hope he gets more arcs with killua. So I'm praying that Gon and Killua are having a break rn and the authors just temporarily focusing on kurapika's story.

Well, this means now you need to make a “Goku vs. Sasuke: A Thematic Breakdown” video.

Loving each video you put out, you manage to get across everything I love about Hunter x Hunter so succinctly, you understand the show in a way I don't think many do. Brilliant work as always!

sheesh i got super baked before watching this and that lil soliloquy at the end about Ging's motivation with the OST playing had me deep in thought lol great video my g

7:00 absolute unit, Adult Gon is physique goals

Incredible video!! Made me realize/think about a lot of things ^-^

Kurapika is that guy that could be the best of friends one could ever wish for, but he is consumed by grief, anger and revenge. That makes him so toxic to those around him. It is so significant when Melody reacts to his heartbeats. She is frightend and sad for him. She sees a good person on the outside, with a devilish heart on the inside. It is also interesting to notice that while Gon and Killua develop themselves together, Leorio and Kurapika are extremely far apart. Kurapika sacrificed everything for power and sped up his nen development in a matter of months, while Leorio is arguably the slowest of the late bloomers.

can we talk about how Gon asked kurapika to be his teacher?

Excellent video, you really helped me understand the themes of this show

This video finally motivated me to continue reading HxH after a month of putting it off. Thanks for the motivation!

These are the best videos to eat to. Gonna Wait for another awesome video like this

The revenge duo :p

This was a good video clearly clarified the message. Thanks. "One must look beyond the destination"

I have gotten into hunterxhunter after watching many videos talking about it. This video reminds me of why, I love your enthusiasm and it pushes me to keep reading.

Great stuff!

A smaller thing to note but one thing that particularly fascinated me is that the only two times in the anime where we see the black/white/red effect used are at the height of Gon and Kurapika's arcs, highlighting their unfortunate similarities and willingness to lose everything, Kurapika with his emperor time ability and Gon with his nen seal. I'm sure there is much more underlying analysis in this idea but this one was the most obvious and pressing for me. A great video by the way! One of my favorites!

I finished the series yesterday for the first time and this drops!

Amazing video!

9:57 - 11:07 is so beautiful I’m always amazed when a writer can fit so many themes into their work and characters hunter x hunter is soooo amazing thank you for helping us realize this even more !!

Cant wait for that leorio arc

I love your analysis

This brought me a whole new perspective on the themes of Hunter x Hunter. With every video I watch about this show it just goes to show how well thought out the story is and its characters

Great video! I really would love for Gon and Kurapika to meet and talk to one another and honestly Killua and Leorio as well since they tend to play support and shoulder a lot of burden trying to protect their friend. I think something I find fascinating also is that no matter where Kurapika goes, he can't help but make connections even if he's not trying to. First it was Gon, Killua, and Leorio. Then it was Melody and Basho, and now we have Oito, Woble, Bill, and Shimano. I feel like that is something worth talking about and why I feel like Kurapika's not as down a dark path as a lot of people seem to think. It'd be way easier for him to succeed if he was truly so ruthless and uncaring but he has his own detours that steer him away from his goal. First it was moving to help his friends when they got captured for his sake and now it seems (SPOILERS POST ANIME) like he will do the same to protect Oito and Woble. There also feels like there's another set up with all those eyes and a head of a kurta that might make him test those limits as well and the fact that the spiders are aboard the ship too.

More HxH yay~

Crazy how this is the best HxH Video on KZfaq.

This almost feels like a big payoff to the entire HxH Nen Show

I fucking love this analysis. HxH is by far my favorite series, and I've seen the 2011 adaptation at least 10 times all the way through, but you brought up several things I hadn't considered that only elevate my appreciation for the series.

Interested perspective I never thought about looking at their paths that way. Really love your video documentary hope to see more in the future. There's a anime called Vinland Saga on Amazon Prime which I would to hear your thoughts and analysis on

I really do love the fact this man kurapika brought a fight to his fight with uvogin like if someone bring a shovel to a fight you should lowkey be scared of them

I love this video

wait i loved this 🥺🥺

Bro your endings are always stomach turning dang dude

My guy needs more love this shit is amazing

I loved this video

Imagine if Kurapika was there in the Chimera Ant Arc when Gon loses his shit

What a GOATed ass video

One of the best videos about HxH I have ever watched. How much time did it took to make it? and at what watch did you finally connect the dots??

Thank you!

Thx for enlightening me.

I enjoyed this

Can't wait until the 4 boys reunite, but I'll probably be an old man before then.

Mathwiz.... the universe community needs you :'( return, my king.

That last sentence was beautiful

The universe mode legend himself 🔥

I don't think I've ever seen someone discuss the "desire" aspect of Hunter X Hunter.

Random fun-fact Time! Heres how to fix his Ability 'Tag': Make the Rules so the Opponent has to Catch you at all Cost; and then bind Manipulation into the Ability so that the User fals under youre Mindcontrol if he loses the Tag-Game. That way, youre Army grows. With just those 2 simple Smart-Moves while creating the Hatsu, it's actually rather terrifying.

well that was unexpectedly motivational

Can you do shanks vs kite next? I recently found out about you and hunter x hunter is my favorite as well. I binge watched many of you videos and I love your analysations. Shanks played a big role in Luffy's life like Kite in Gon's and they both lost a hand while protecting. Shanks is more goofy while Kite is more stoic and blunt with his words but still caring. Maybe you can find other differences.

i love this anime with all of my crippling heart

No more cutting ties, Kurapika

it was stated that Gon would have been teleported to Ging if he went alone. Just adding this.

Ah ye we back

Hunting for your dream.

To quote Stormlight Archive “Journey Before Destination”

What are the odds that Prince Wobble and Queen Oito are the things that stop Kurapika ? On the other hand he already lost decades of lifetime so maybe he just drops dead anti-climactically at some random point

To truly make it full circle we need a Goku vs Sasuke breakdown.

I felt the urge to say thank you for listening to my Ted Talk,,, vvv pleased

But that itself is the tragic end of gons story. He went 100 cause he was emotional, his journey arguably ended there. Without nen hes just another kid with insane sences and stuff.

Can we get another month :(

Hey I was just wondering do you still watching wrestling

When you finna bring back um?

Gon and Kurpica journey alike

The forgotten series

everything will be fine once we get to the dark continent and get that nitro rice it's fine we good

PERIODTTTT

3:13 i finally get why they call it whale island

Cheetu carries the chimera arc

Oh, so that's HxH's deal. Yeah, that makes sense, actually.

Kurapika is best boy

Sa dalawa e wala ng duda si gon nayan sa mga lumalabas na maggandang pagkkataon.. at biglang nawala si kurapika kaya wala akong makitang ikakapanalo ni kurapika sa huli

No wonders my cult friend recommended this.
