The audio quality in my earliest videos such as this one was always rough, but you’ll notice that it’s especially bad in the beginning of this video, particularly for the first 30 seconds and from about 1:40-2:48. The reason for this is that unfortunately, due to a copyright claim, I had to use KZfaq to mute the background music for parts of these first couple of minutes of this video, which resulted in that bad audio. You can still understand what I’m saying though, and it goes away after those parts, so if you want to watch the video then just bear with it for the beginning or skip through it. This is without doubt one of my worst videos though, so no real harm in skipping it, hahaha.

Killua has a Star of David on his yo-yos like Illumi has on his phone. Cain and Abel?

It pains me to see you're not as popular as some anime analyst.

Neferpitou's skill, Terpsichora, is derived from the name of a Greek mythology figure, Terpsichore. She is one of the nine Muses and she is the muse of dance and chorus. That's why Pitou says, "Exceed your limit and dance" when she activates the skill. Feitan's name is also derived from Phaeton. In Greek mythology, he is the son of the sun god, Helios. That explains why his ultimate skill is called "Rising Sun." Phinx is very self-explanatory. You can clearly see on his costume.

I love how in the picture at 4:15 Hisoka is in the same place as Judas in the "last supper"

damn I forgot how good this show is

And Pariston hill is named after the great apostle Paris Hilton, the herald of social destruction

The final phase of the hunter exam was held inside a Mosque, you can notice the name Allah written in Arabic on the wall during the fights.

No one fighting over religion in the comments? that's a shock

I think that it's fascinating that Togashi can implement religious ideas into his work without beating his viewer's over the head with it. Religion and subtlety don't always mix, and while I won't dismiss the potential in a heavily religious story, I feel like subtlety works best in most cases, because if you make a reference to any religion that someone has no knowledge of, they're not going to get it. In the case of Hunter x Hunter, I could watch the entire series and lose nothing contextually about it - I don't have to study religion in order to enjoy the show. However, knowing about those elements is rewarding, as it adds depth to the thematic goals of each arc in Hunter x Hunter (especially the Chimera Ant arc).

This... This is how an analysis should be. You and Super Eyepatch Wolf are my favorite KZfaqrs regarding anime analysis right now. Keep up the good work!

"Chrollo as a character is a walking advertisment for both religious and non religous ideas" XD

a good video once again +Alczandxr. although since you mentioned "Killua's Enlightenment" I'd like to mention something that I myself saw: up until the end of the Chimera ant arc, Killua never thought of himself, only his friends. before Killua met Gon, the idea of having a friend was so out of reach to him, that he treasured it all the more, but overcompensated as he was so desperate not to loose it. that is why he would constantly put himself through some really hard situations for his friends without complaint or questions, and not even wanting the to know what he did for them. a prime example is his fight with Rammot, where in order to prevent Rammot from reaching Gon, Killua fights him for hours, and fights his own natural instincts to run as the fight is completely one sided against him until the very end. meanwhile, Gon is blissfully unaware of Killua's suffering, and is busy goofing around with a Yandere who is almost twice his age. but I noticed a very subtle change during the final battle, at the beginning, Gon treats Killua coldly, and Killua just takes it passively out of fear of loosing Gon, and when Gon turns on Killua, instead of defending himself, Killua blames himself for being unable to alleviate his friends suffering, and tries to keep up a string front for Gon's sake until he eventually breaks down. but after the Chimera ant arc is over, when Gon is dying in the hospital, and Killua is preparing to set out to find Alluka so she can save him, and Killua gives a monologue where at the end he finally shouts out loud "im gonna heal you up, so you have to apologize!" that was a big moment for me! Killua while being incredibly mature about his anger at Gon, hasn't given up on him, and never will, but also, that he is finally starting to acknowledge his own self-worth, and that he wont be taken for granted anymore! and he is going to ask Gon to give him the bare minimum of what he owes him, in this case, it being an apology. anyways, thats just my interpretation of it.

Killua is what Sasuke should've been

Thank you.... I am happy because some one finally broke the cliche reviews and even for hxh ..... Thanks again..

I never thought to put Ging in the perspective you did. I was alway on his side, but I didnt know why, I just respected his decisions. It was giving me a vibe of seeking knowledge for knowledge's sake. And subsequently gaining strength from that quest. That the universe is larger than you. Respect the universe and it channels through you more kinda thing. Awesome job, man.

Great job as always. Keep'm coming!

Netero's *sacrifice* is the complete opposite of sacred, though. "If there's a hell, I'll see you there." He is resolved to give his life for that act of evil (the Rose) for the fight of his life with Meruem.

fuck bro i may start watching Hxh 3rd time cuz of you..

Replayed the first few seconds a few times. "Yoshihiro Togashi is a genius"

Holy moly this is some Dark Souls analysis video. The way you structured your argument, assertion, and evidence with the supporting pictures/clips and music really made this a good video. Gosh when you got to the part with Killua's Enlightenment and Colt's Valor I started to cry, a bit extreme but I just love deep deep analysis videos. This video really makes me appreciate the Chimera Ant arc even more.

I also noticed ‘Shintoïsm’ is a common theme in this anime, the concept of every ‘thing’ bearing life is seen in many scenes, especially in the last episode when Gon touches the world tree and feels the life energy inside.

As a christian I was very interested in this video, and very much so enjoyed it. Great video! Also when you were talking about how knov and welfin's story arc revolved around submission to a more powerful being, I felt like you forgot about rammot who submitted to pitou. Still great video!

For me as a christian, this video was really a pleasure to watch👌

hi, this is a translation from google trad '. I don't know enough English to explain my point of view. Nanika and Alluka refers to the Djinn in the Arab-Muslim mythology and even more with the count of 1001 nights. Like the jinns, Nanika is able to grant wishes, but in return for a tribute. In the 1001 nights, the first jinn in history threatens to kill the one who released him from his mud prison in exchange for a wish. In Aladdin's tale, The latter steals a djinn's lamp from a wizard, by my cunning. And thanks to the jinn and the wish, he marries the princess and succeeds in having a second jinn after having won a second wizard. Killua having succeeded in delivering his sister from his family, without fighting them but by using the rules and conditions of the capacities of Nanika (djinn) allows to escape from the house of zoldick and thus to save Alluka (princess). But he is also chased by his enlightened brother who wants to control Alluka and Nanika. But Killua wins against his brother using Nanika's powers. Killua decided to protect Nanika as he does with Alluka. So, killua, instead of getting a second jinn, he gets a second little sister to protect.

Look up what "Neteru" means in Ancient Egyptian mythology. Then contemplate how that correlates to Netero's role in this series. Brilliant.

dude FF music and Hunter X Hunter ... you're the best :')

as a follower of jesus christ, this was a very great video

This must be one of the best, if not THE best videoanalysis i've ever seen about Hunter x Hunter. Thank you, great GREAT job :) ps: I would love to translate this into spanish, so i could show it to my friends. If you enable that option in the subtitles options, I could send you it to you n_n

chorllo lucifer is a deep person and i would like to see him changing in more than away but remain himself at the same time

The idea of mercy that Ikalgo experiences when deciding not to kill Welfin and Brovada was an idea Killua implemented when he spares Ikalgo's life despite knowing that Ikalgo could endanger his own you can tell that it was Killua who influenced him to think this way because before Killua spared his life he had no issue in sniping down humans with his flees.

Really miss this show :(

I wish that I had even 1 % of Killua Fighting Talent then I would have been happy. I am also searching for my goal in life.

I always thought that Koala man was Gyro reborn as a Chimera ant

I'm not gonna lie dude: I almost cried at some moments of the video. The delivery during your analysis touch me on so many levels :o I mean from the the editing to the langage you use everything is perfect. I would just love to meet u for a coffee and discuss all day long about this masterpiece that is HxH :) Thank you so much again man! Love u dude ❤

Hunter x hunter is legit one of the best if not the best anime series of all time

When Kite fights Pitu, his slot machine shows "3" - "San", a desire to definitely not die. San is Sansara/Samsara, a vedic/buddist concept of rebirth. On a side note, Killua's badge during the Hunter exam is 99. 9 symbolises suffering and torture in Japan. Also, 9+9= 18, 1+8= 9. Killua is known for having been tortured mentually and physically all his life. And later he fails the exam after facing a family member.

Thank you for putting the music you used in the description!

Your analysis are high qualtiy

yeees! my favorite part of hxh is the spiritual background of the whole thing! Its literally about The Light (the soul/the self) looking for its creator. It a lot of ways HXH is a condensed version of the spiritual journey of the soul. total genius !

I truly appreciate you taking the time to create such a fantastically in depth analasys of the hunter x hunter symbolism i truly loved this video youve gained a sub and a like i also watched your berserk video and really liked it i hope you will keep up the great work thank you

8:49 but even if Knov and Welfin initially submitted to fear of that higher power, they later still chose to defy that power, with Knov still covertly helping out like saving Shoot, or when Welfin defiantly said he will only follow Giro

I think Buddah's journey to Nirvanna is kinda simmular to Killua's escape from his family.

If only togashi would publish hxh much more often but then again all these themes and great characters take time. Forgive me if I misspelled his name

That Final Fantasy X theme XD

Chrollo is the combination of strong and smart fighter

What a great video, the anime community needs more of this type of content and less people making excuses for plotless hack franchises like fairy tail.

Awesome amazing video! Of course the greatest anime of all time has tons of religious symbolism and I do thing besides it's incredible use in the story togashi wanted to communicate a message of togetherness and equality by adding all these religions :). If you ever want to do a video that focuses more on one specific religious symbol and go into detail on what it means in the show I'd be super hyped for that!

2:54 Just a side note, the Moon and the Star isnt a muslim symbol, it came with the Seljuks and Ottomans (Big Muslim Empires having these on their flag). The moon and the star arent a symbol or a sign for Islam. So if you imagine Islam it is not like the Cross in Christianity or the Star in Judaism, even though muslim countrys have them in the Flag mostly because of history and their identy (Turks, Arabs, Persians and so on....)

1 thing to Khrolo, his name can be seen as a reference to Chronos, the titan of time

Good video also Ty so much for putting music into description, this is such a good thing to do cause im not spending then half hour just searching for something, Thank you

You know what, this is one of the most beautiful review about HXH. I listened and watched this almost like 50times already. Amazing!!! Totally superb!!!

Your videos are so beautiful. You really know how to show the best of Hunter X Hunter and this is why you have made so many of them, there is too much good in this series. Pitou is best girl.

The royal guards map onto the three deadly poisons of Buddhism. Youpi is dvesha (hatred) as his abilities revolve around his rage and also versions of his design occasionally incorporate a snake - the animal symbolic of this poison. Pitou is representative of raga (attachment) as her abilities revolve around controlling, preserving, and protecting others - basically holding on to her attachments and resisting against their impermanence. Shaiapouf is moha (delusion) which is pretty self-explanatory since he is fighting constantly against the reality of Meruem's humanity - it's also pretty ironic because moha sometimes gets translated as 'ignorance' instead and it's symbol is a pig whilst Shaiapouf contrasts this by being sophisticated and elegant; perhaps this could be seen as him deluding himself about his true nature even further.

I've been waiting for a video on this for an extremely long time! Thank you for this amazingly constructed video!

fortune-telling, angels, Kurapika's vow, NGL's way of living, human sacrifice, the search of the sorcerer, the representation of that animals should vow to human and many more.

Oh wow dude. I've watched some of these shows you're commenting on and couldn't really wrap my head around some of these in terms of writing. But now it makes a lot more sense to me! Thanks. :)

Man, this was probably my favourite of yours so far. Great use of music and visuals, I was captivated the entire time.

you made such a great analytical video. I'm in love with hunterxhunter as it made up a great deal of my childhood and adolescence, and so with your video.

I honestly enjoy your analyses. I imagine you writing a thesis on Hunter x Hunter and other anime. Great Job!!!

well i never gave that a thought. i ofc noticed the 13 for the phantom troupe noticed Hisokas "judas role2 the rebirth aspect but never gave it a thought.

I was thinking about lots of things you said when watching this series for first time. And I can only thank you and appreciate your hard work, I'm sure this video took you some hours. Thank you and BTW you've a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.

Wow, this channel is great. The analysis is of high quality and on point, good job! I wanna finish the Berserk manga just so I can watch your Guts & Griffith video xD

You really love this ART and i love what you do ! Something to mention that the name (Meruem) is very similar to (Maryem) "Mother of Jesus" in Arabic in Islam , Mary in Christianity .

This is so well explained. I was actually very curious about the phantom troupe's religious aspects and you've explained all of it so well.

I'm in complete awe over how good your analysis is. 3 years late but you got a New sub for it atleast. When or IF the New arcs are made, I hope you make videos analyaing the deeper stuff like this one!

The beginning intro music soothed my soul. Best way to start a video

I'm a very religious person, and I honestly didn't realize the concept of Hisoka basically being Judas I thought that was really interesting

Damn, I should really give Hunter X Hunter a re-watch, so much went over my head. To underplay so many ideas like this... Togashi sure is a genius. And this was another awesome video, keep it up man!

Dude, your videos are fantastic. You do a really good job explaining the little details that makes HxH so amazing. I've thought a TON about the things that you have in your videos and its great to see that someone appreciates the franchise as much as I do.

great work! we some times do not know why we love something so much as we do. the touchings of religious symbolism. which are integral parts of the collective unconscious in our society and culture, provide the unconscious door way to our true conscious enjoyment in this story. again,... nice work. personally i have been hung up on the necessary characteristics ( in the chimar ant arc) for which the post rebirth the self was able to have access to past life memories for the characters. tougashi probably set everything up as such as it went so the story would work. but it would be an interesting philosophical undertaking to see what characteristics in life merited life after death memory instill-ment. again, nice work.

Chrollo's cross is a symbol of humility!

the fact that you included two of my absolute favourite songs from FF7 (one of the best games to exist) in this beautiful video about the best anime to exist simply blows my mind. Thank you for this!

such an amazing video! thank you for the efforts

That was a great review, I'm excited to see more! And I just loved the FFX soundtrack as the background music, it gave me a lot of nostalgia!

Awesome man. This is good stuff, keep going!

Just found this channel. Amazing.

I'm seeing this pretty late and I've watched 4 of your analysis vids on HxH so far I love the content and detail really great work.

man, this was wonderful. you have to make a secand part.

As soon as the video started my favorite song "Ginpastu no Shonen" or "Killua's theme" started playing I went "Oh shit yeah imma watch this video now"😂

you should make a video on deathnote, i find its heavily religious connotations and overall message very interesting

The narration, the music go so well with each other. I was literally getting chills!

I love the Final Fantasy 7 Soundtrack in the background, great video as well !

About the animals, in Christianity, Saint Francis is the protector of the animals, story says he spoke so well and was so inspired by God that even the animals that were around would stop to listen to him and follow him.

You should do a video on Dragon Quest 5. Ging is largely inspired by the protagonist, and I believe it was Togashi's favorite.

I like the FF theme songs/music in the background for this video. Nicely done!

Thanks for this, opened my eyes up to alot of things

That FF7 music at 5:20 Thanks for the nostalgia

Hunter x Hunter has been the best ever show! IF he had continued with the manga it would definitely would've topped anime world

your videos are all so wonderful and this one is too! I love the background music of the end themes! and as far as an idea for another topic, how about melody and the others of Neon's guards? maybe just see what you can dig up as far as background stories/motives. 😸

again, I just love your videos this was a very imaginative one thanks

Here's something I think you missed: I didn't realize it until you mentioned that Meruem had a sort of Holy Communion after the bomb (with the servants experiencing the ecstasy), but Meruem's entire end is filled with Christian (Catholic) symbolism. When Netero bombed him, in the manga it was written to not underestimate human capability for evil, but it was pronounced as evolution. So Netero would have said, "Do not underestimate human capability for evolution," but he meant to not underestimate their capability for evil. Then, this evil, or sin, kills Meruem. He is only brought back by the sacrifice of his guards and the Communion. He is brought back to life a changed ant, full of life, but still has to face the poisoning effects of the human evil, or sin, so his natural body dies still from the effects of that sin (like original sin or how the wager of sin is death).

Your videos leave me wanting more HxH

Now this is the kinda channel I’ve been looking for

I AM BINGE WATCHING ALL YOUR HXH VIDEOS AND I LOVE IT. Your work is really great!

I like these videos. I liked the song at the start because it fit in and was peaceful. I love the fact that this was so detailed Just what else do I have to say? I don't understand why you don't have 1 million subs at this point honestly

this is really good, thank you for this

The final hunter exam was held in a mosque hahaha, it’s make me laugh so hard every time when come up to my mind lol

Great video! Lots of stuff I missed the first time through!

the ff music makes everything better 💗
