I feel like people don't give Togashi enough roses for the way he can make very diverse human characters, in terms of faces and body type that takes skill

i love togashis art style, a lot of manga artists styles have same face syndrome and togashi’s has the opposite, he’s really good at creating a diverse set of characters

The artwork in the chimera ant arc in the Volumes is amazing. Knuckle vs youpi,Gon's meltdown, netero vs meruem. If anybody told me that Togashi is a bad artist, I would show them those panels. It is the peak of his art in hxh for me.

Did you know Togashi’s art style has the properties of both rubber and gum?

togashi could draw stickmen and i would still read his manga

i love how togashi sometimes draws hyper realiticly during critical moments . The sudden change of artstyle can convey so many emotions.

Togashi's art isn't bad... it's prioritized. He spends much less time on drawing the more plot- or story-oriented pages. Lots of talking = less time on art, basically. His action panels, however, are some of my favorite in the entire industry. Togashi's art's perspective is top tier, and you get a really great sense of motion and movement during battles, especially the more personal ones, like Hisoka vs. Gon in Heaven's Arena.

While it's always nice to continue consuming content drawn by the same person it always has been, I'm willing to bet that most hxh fans would just be overjoyed to be receiving ANY content (myself included). While I do enjoy Togashi's art style, above all else I just want the story to continue (and for Togashi to not be in literal pain every day creating it)

hxh ending without kurapikas conclusion would be so stupid, im glad it still continues.

I honestly love Togashi's style. He has both the properties of cute-n-simple and serious-n-detailed. He may not have the cutest and simplest style, nor the most serious and detailed style, but being able to play around in that range allows him to build the world of Hunter X Hunter that we've all come to love. I'm sure Togashi understands the pros/cons of getting a replacement artist better than anyone else, so whatever his decision on the matter may be, I'll whole heartedly accept.

i still believe the decision of bringing back kite was a great one by togashi as it adds to the pointlessness of Gon's decision and him thinking that what he did to pitou, how he was destroying himself and lost his arm like kite is like an atonement, when it shouldn't be like that at all, it's in a way a punishment for gon to confront that idea and grow from it, losing his nen and returning to his weak child body too, i really think these were great ideas by togashi that strengthens Gon's arc and the themes of it before the final with ging.

The sad thing is that Togashi himself has made it clear that he himself wasn't satisfied with the artwork and that his medical issues+ exhaustion were kind of the main cause for it. Which is why he went out of his way to clean them up for the volume releases. The Chimera Ant Arc in particular got huge glowups in places.

When Togashi sets up all the proper nen conditions his art is unironically some of the best in the industry.

I actually really liked Kite's reincarnation because of the context that it's a result of his ability. The fact that Ging taught Kite "everything he knows about nen" which includes apparently REVERSING DEATH was maybe the thing that got me most hyped for Ging's abilities when I read the story.

I would argue the battle manga aspect of Togashi's art is just servicable, but his ability to construct skin-crawling horror imagery is exquisite. He'll throw grotesque nightmare designs that are genuinely unsettling, he can create a sinister atmosphere that really builds tension and a sense of discomfort, and his characters can have just the most horrifying expressions when he wants them to. When you juxtapose these horrifying elements to the more clean and simple shounen fantasy world it really sticks out. Like, the Succession War is chalk full of the very worst things but it all takes place on a boat shaped like an adorable cartoon whale, that dissonance is just... so Hunter X Hunter.

Uvogin was actually one of the strongest nen users we have seen so far and probably the pinnacle of what a raw enhancer is, he was just "hard countered" wich is a shame because he was such a well written character

I have a theory on why hisoka bathes so often. Being a horny battle clown he prioritizes two things; one his enjoyment of the fight, and two his efficiency in aura use. So the possibility of dust and dirt sticking to his Bungie Gum could mess with his efficiency along with allowing his opponents to visualize where Bungie Gum is applied. He even uses the buildup of dirt and blood in his fight with clone guy at heaven's arena.

talking about a drawing without showing it should be illegal

I just love how sometimes his art looks like scribbles and other times he has some of the best manga art I've seen next to stuff like Naruto Shippuden

It’s weird to say that Togashi doesn’t like drawing when he has been adamant about doing it in his own for decades. His art style likely changed for HxH so that he could produce more chapters around his condition. Wish you would include ALL of his work when referencing his art. Wicked Cupid, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Level E all have pretty great examples of Togashi’s potential as an artist.

I haven’t finished watching the whole video yet. But I personally find Togashi’s drawing one of my favorites ! The way he is able to show the psychology of a character in just one panel always blow my mind. If you’re reading the manga rather than watching the anime, you will remember one of Hisoka as a Joker card as a chapter cover. An absolute piece of art. I wouldn’t mind a new artist to draw HxH and Togashi sama to focus on the scenario but please don’t underestimate his drawing skills !

I think that what makes Kite's non-death different from when authors just hit undo is that he's not the same. It's jarring to see him in a completely new body. His "death" wasn't consequence-free.

I love Togashi's art style. He's one of the artists that inspired me to draw. The only reason I don't mind someone else drawing for him is because he's sick and tired. But hopefully he still does the paneling and art comp because he's amazing at that.

At its best, Togashi's art is some of the best I've seen in the genre. Panels like Ging punching that guy in the face or Knuckle running away from Youpi are incredible.

Regarding "killing off" a character, and then bringing them back to life, it makes sense if the other characters think they are dead and it changes their actions. Here, of course, it definitely does affect Gon (and others to a lesser degree), so there was still meaning to it.

I kind of want to know what event happened in the Zoldyck family that changed some members' appearance so much. We see both a family photo and some scattered flashbacks of a few years ago where, for lack of a better word, they all appear to be dressed "normally". Then, with really no gradual transition depicted, we see several members with dramatically altered appearances. Kikyo goes from relatively demur traditional Japanese garb/hair to her quite ostentatious and also western influenced garb. Illumi managed to grow out his hair significantly and wears pretty bizarre clothing. Kalluto dresses in traditional girl's clothing. Alluka we assume is transgender. Pretty stark contrast to Zeno, Silva, Milluki and Killua who, aside from the kids getting bigger, have not changed at all in character design. I feel like Togashi would not do this randomly but I am not sure what to make of it :)

I remember when hisoka was checking out the zodiacs during the vote, the only one that seemed to catch his eye was sheep. I think the humble sheep might have an interesting nen ability up his sleeve and hopefully we can see more

9:42 I love how Kurapika just dropkicks Uvogin right after analyzing him

I thought of Togashi's art as very much above average, but nothing too special untill I saw Tserriednich and his panels

The filler in the 1999 anime is actually pretty good. It gives us more time with characters who, in hindsight, we don't get a lot of time with in the series (Pokkle, Ponzu, Hanzo, etc).

The white haired zolydk is the one that gets trained the hardest imo, illumi may have it had it hard as the oldest but he was never looked at to be the leader of the family. Probably the worse pressure he has been through is from his dad and grandfather to make killua a successful leader

I think togashi is capable of really good art as you can see in some panels like that one of Pouf

If you dont mind me asking, When are we gonna get the strongest Emitter Manipulator Conjurer and Specialist videos? We already got Enchancer and Transmuter and ive been waiting for the rest

The things that gets me is that in his prime and even recently with his comeback last year you can tell he clearly can draw! People act like thous pages back then when he was initailly suffering and his back problems were getting worse is what his drawings look like ALL the time and ktys simply not true. Imo he has a clean and sleek art style in his best points. I like how they been going back and cleaning up pass releases too!!. His comeback last year had many great panels! Him and his assistants did a good job! Quite a few panels that look great! To be vauge The phantom troupe forest scene ( y'all know which one) was so detailed and i REALLY loved it!! So unreal!

My theory about Prince Momoze's Nen beast. Momoze might feel lonely because Queen Sevanchi cares more about Marayam than her, That's why her Nen beast power is controlling people to "play with her". Because she needs friends.

I looooove HxH! I decided to read it when I found out they were releasing chapters and I had a great time. The story is so dense and your videos made me realize how much I enjoy its nuances. Reading the series knowing what I know and then to go beyond - just to discover the best is yet to come.

i guess it depends on how they are revived for me i also feel like oda should kill the odd time like its a story about pirates an most of the time worst thing that happens is they lose there arm or lose there memories for awhile or just disappear then we find out in a cover story there off doing something instead of being dead i know oda loves all his characters an doesnt wanna kill them off but i feel like that hurts his story alittle

I would feel as though we lost something if Togashi was no longer doing the art.

Togashi's art actually brings more expression to characters than the 2011 anime. The anime is more polished, but Togashi's art is actually quite good.

My Hunter x Hunter criticism is that Zeno's "Dragon Dive" is the single worst signature abilities for a character who prides himself on never having killed an innocent bystander. Almost killing an innocent bystander is basically the only thing Zeno ever accomplished with his hatsu.

My fear is that the narrative arc of the dark continent presents an idea of an enemy, in the end, weakened. I think Hype's work done so far is incredible and beautiful. For As things are and assumptions, right now anyone who sets foot in that place should die instantly. I hope they don't make the mistake of normalizing everything and making it a dragon ball thing 😢

I think Youpi should've died at the end of his battle with Knuckle/Morel. By the end of the fight he had evolved from a mindless beast into a clear thinking fighter that developed a lot of respect for the humans, so he already had a satisfying arc. Him going off with Pouf made the whole effort to take him down feel really unsatisfying and pointless. After that point he just started going along with whatever Pouf wanted, which also hurt the character he developed in the fight.

I think Togashi just doesn’t wanna draw every single day every single hour to meet up with the deadline so it comes bad and he would draw very nicely if it felt like it

i have a genuine question: is there a copyright reason, or something similar to that, for why you dont show the art while talking about it? because personally, i feel like it would make this video a lot easier and more satisfying to watch, if i were to actually see what you are talking about. (especially because i am not a manga reader myself, but still enjoy your videos talking about it)

I think Togashi is a great drawer. I love his mix of styles and how he blends them perfectly (you can see this represented in the cover art of the volumes). Also, his page layout is very imaginative and fun, although the more exposition we get, usually the less he plays around with that, and in the last arc is kinda rough in that aspect. Nonetheless, you can see this clearly in, for example, the Yu Yu Hakusho manga, that is super fun and agile to read.

One can say his art style isn't consistent. But bad? Anyone who says that clearly hasn't read any of his manga. The very reason I love his style is because it's all over the place. In the very same page he can do some silly cartoon followed by some Junji Ito monstruosity or a Takehiko Inoue portrait.

Oh hey, mine made it in! Thanks for including me in, and I'm glad there were so many others who actually agreed with me! Most of my friends personally, never really thought much about it. Usually just seeing Genthru as a toss away villain meant to drive the plot forward without adding much to it. Happy to see I'm not the only one who saw past that surface level understanding of him!

One Punch Man is a good demonstration where having artwork by someone else elevates things. But, it also shows two things to consider: The original author STILL draws for himself. The drawing is part of figuring out the story. And two... The new drawing comes with some changes to the story. This is a natural thing which should be expected. But if not done properly, it could cause major problems. What happens when the artist asks for a small detail because it looks good on the page, but that reveals a plot twist early, or creates a plot hole when later details come up? Like for example, what if the artist decided to draw Killua in the background, because he had been present in the previous panel, but now the focus is on Gon giving a beatdown. But it is later revealed that Killua went godspeed and pulled off an assassination during the beatdown in that panel?

My immediate thought was to leave kite dead. It hasn't changed in over half a decade.

I swear I love his art😊

I think Kite coming back was actually pretty tame compared to most fake out deaths. We were stuck with kite being dead for a long time. It gave time for the reality of the situation to sink in for both us and Gon/Killua. Then there were real effects from Kite’s death. It wasn’t meaningless because there were consequences for it. It also kind of showed how Gon was willing to throw away everything for absolutely nothing. He barely knew Kite and Kite wasn’t even dead.

I absolutely dont understand people saying Togashi's art is bad , like have you seen some of his pages in both his manga and so many various artstyles he uses so easily . Also he has such a flow with them all . Which a lot of manga now now such a rough art ( like jjk and csn even if they have great art ) . Its just that he prioritizes panels that he feels like need attention otherwise he doesnt and rough sketches it .

There's something weird here some people talking like hxh is the only togashi work and just talking about the art in one work and say his art is bad without checking the others Level E is good example There's alot of emotion that can be missed when another person draw the manga by just copy the style, there's many manga with sample art but the way it presented with the facial expression and other stuff that gives very strong emotions through it art. There's also a short manga written by assistant that work with togashi during yyh showed how togashi care about the little details and the way he want things to be drawn. even with great art it need a good presentation so the art can convey what the story tell, comparing it with other type of style doesn't make sense because art can take different forms, togashi can be sample when he need to be and draw highly detailed when he need to.

3:49 - I never noticed this! Thanks for bringing this up! I had a good laugh out of this. 🤣

“Art is completely subjective. It’s up to the viewer to judge whether or not it has merit.” - Ken Danby

Kite's reincarnation is somewhat mysterious and could have future implications. Togashi never uses catch phrases and yet Kite repeatedly says every single one of his Crazy Slots is a bad roll which is like a catch phrase for me.... until he rolls 3 before his gruesome death. For the only time he says it's a good roll. One could interpret that he not only knew he was in deep trouble (not hard to see as he just lost an arm) but that he KNEW Crazy Slots 3 would work. And later when Ging talks about Crazy Slots 3, it is so matter of fact, it is also like he also KNEW that Crazy Slots would work. We are talking about reincarnation here. To me... the only way anyone would KNOW this would work is if it was already done at least once successfully. Other characters are shown trying out their techniques first (like Kurapika practising Judgement Chain on Ugovin before he went after Chrollo), particularly for very powerful ones with restrictions. It seems very odd to me that someone would make a freaking reincarnation ability and not just assume but know with certainty that it would work if he/she hasn't reincarnated before. Hmm. Who really is Kite?

Never forget that perfectly drawn roasted chicken

I feel like Kurapika's whole thing about only being able to use certain powers on the spiders should come up more often. There doesn't seem to be a reason that judgement chain is as powerful as it is when he seemingly can just use it on whoever.

I think the biggest issue with bringing any character "back alive" is from that point on death no longer has the same weight, and your readers start to doubt anyone's death from that point on. Even if you kill someone and don't ever revive them, people are still going to have that thought and possibility in the back of their head now that it's shown to be possible with anyone. One piece obviously has reached total meme status in this regard and is definitely one of the strongest cons against the series. There's not a single character you ever worry about dying, or ever feel any type of stakes or consequences with. The worst that will happen is they'll just stop being talked about which is just boring. I can get why Oda would want to keep characters alive, but showing them "die" and them not actually dying is just cheap and boring.

if togashi’s art is considered bad then i will never achieve any semblance of success in my life with mine. i am not exaggerating when i say that hxh probably has the best artstyle any comic artist could dream of. as many people already mentioned, he doesn’t suffer from same face syndrome at all…and it really blows my mind everytime i see even the background characters who are given as much individuality as the characters we’re supposed to be focusing on. it’s just so beautifully versatile and simple yet complex when it has to be…i think it really suits togashi best, as he can focus on the most important parts of the story to put his energy into vs a random mostly text filled panel. the thing with art is that, you can’t just judge it by it’s complexity or the backbreaking labour that it demands at times (berserk and other similar works being best examples of what a great very detailed and almost realistic style looks like) but have to take a lot of things into consideration. if i had to pick a single manga based on aesthetics alone it’d be WHA, for symmetry it’d be hnk or blame etc…but what wins imo when it comes to impactful chara design is hxh i can spend hours screaming my love for hxh and the artstyle i have been admiring for most of my life…so it kind of hurts the artist in me hearing that some people think that togashi is bad at drawing. with that being said tho, if he wants to only write and have other artists draw for him, i’ll support that decision but his artstyle and genuis creative mind will never cease to amaze me no matter how old i get

Maybe they choose killua to be the family’s successor because he’s the only one of his siblings with white hair? Maybe in his family the strongest of the batch has white hair, all of his brothers have black hair. As the last 2 leaders of the family both had white hair.

Honestly, I think Togashi is an excellent writer, despite his inability to remain consistent sometimes. Big example is Hiei in Yu Yu Hakusho, he and Yukina went from having different mothers, Hiei being an older sibling, to being twins because his mother somehow got pregnant from a man and her normal asexual reproductive schedule. The only thing I'm not big on in HvH is Kurapika killing himself with Emperor Time, though I am curious if the rest of his tribe would have been able to switch into being specialists as well.

Togashi's drawings are ridiculously good. People in the comment section already covered this, but he is really good at diversifying characters. Each characters looks incredible different from each other. And the composition in different panels is also really great....I can keep going :) But if someone else can do the art and Togashi can focus on writing, I would be fine with that. I rather see the rest of the story one day. Kinda same situation with Dragon Ball. Toriyama's Art....chef's kiss, but I'm okay with another artist taking his place.

Um the guy is basically close to disabled atm and has suffered through health complications for a while. If his art doesn’t meet someone’s standards they can fuck off. He’s literally dying for his art and it’s beautiful masterpiece. You make as a good of a story as he has with a as beautiful of art. Go ahead, please I’d love to read it

Bringing Gon & Killua back into the story would be cool, but There's realistically only three possible ways to do it now: 1-Nanika wish; 2-Mcguffin at the Dark Continent; 3-Parallel storyline that puts them on the next whale-ship.

I think its unfair to say that the art is bad. I quite like it.

I’ve heard Togashi has gotten more help with his art bc originally I wanted him to get some help from his wife(who’s a great artist herself) so he wouldn’t over exert/over whelm himself with Hxh and then have to cancel it like Yu Yu hakashuo.

thank you very much for answering my question liam.( i don't know why but it feels surreal seeing me in a newworldreview video despite having been noticed by him before.:3) really liked that answer as looking back with gon he does have the trauma from it but grew strong to keep his innocence full circle and(outside the paper work.) enjoying life again compared to some anime & manga main characters that get broken or even lose some of that charm when turning mature. love togashi's answer at the end as my take would be that(at least for now as there's not much saying it couldn't change.) it's the end for gon's part of the story but not yet for the series world(like kurapika and leorio after not being involved in the last big arc bringing other parts of the world back) which is notable compared with other shonen jump series still having the main star.

Toriyama: what is this character death you are talking about?

I actually thinks its good to have the gon arc complete but not ending the manga. The hxh world is so vast and unexplored, that it has enough content for hundred of chapters.

3:42 Missed an opportunity to insert a Beyond Netero image smh

Its the *world building* that throws me off more than the story. I can't tell if it's an apocalyptic lost world or Avatar fantasy because they also include VR worlds too when you meet Biscuit 😭

I'm so glad he didn't stop the story when Gon met Ging

Loved the video as always! Just one note, when you talk about a specific panel I think you should show it to us, I'm very visual and like to see the panels in cases like this, even if it's for a very short time. In case you just can't for fear of YT, maybe show us what chapter in which it happens so we can look it up.

Why did Mora even test Gon he obviously failed lost control immediately. Wouldn't they test him to see that he can keep his cool ?

I agree most of the art in the manga is mid-tier and if his characters and story weren't as amazing he wouldn't be as popular. However, if you take recent chapters there are some shots that show radical improvement. One that really stood out for me was Tserriednich sitting on his throne with the eyes in jars. The proportions, details and especially the hand design shows consistency he doesn't often show. Seriously the design of the hands alone makes ALL his other hand drawings obsolete. So I'm hopeful.

My controversial opinion is that Greed Island is a fantastic arc that is one of my favorites to rewatch

im genuinely surprised people think his art is bad? tbf i hadnt really stared that deep into it while reading but it was clear to me that he is skilled at drawing, being an artist as well, having drawn my whole life, im nowhere near togashi's level, i dont expect every panel to be a masterpiece either given that i know how long drawing takes. people who complain about togashi's art.... id like to see how well theyd fair in drawing, that shit is hard afterall, i think our standards have just been raised way above our own heads from the previous works done by overworked, hyperpassionate artists. we are way to accustomed to being fed super detailed, panel by panel illustrations that break your wrist and take hours, now that a mangaka is putting minimal effort to speed through certain panels, we think its "bad".

I think Kite being reincarnated was actually a good choice on the authors part. Let me explain, if Kite remained dead than it would have just been a revenge story, but since he got back as a chimera ant than it essentially makes Gon a blood cold murderer who killed Pito for nothing, which highlights how twisted Gon actually was in that fight. So i actually like the fact that Kite got revived in that specific context, cause Gon literally kilked Pito for nothing.

I think not adding Bisky to the extermination team was a huge loss. She was already around again at that point in the story and it would have allowed the other team members to fight at 100% everyday. We got a 35% Moral for the palace invasion and I wish she would have been there so we could get a 100% Moral. Just something I thought about in my most recent rewatch

togashi is pretty varied with art... it is now kind of weird having him as one of my inspos upon hearing he doesn't like art though, or does he?? im not sure, togashi is pretty weird and quirky in general, i wouldnt be surprised if it was one of his jokes, but i do know he is lazy. however, honestly? who isn't? still though, whenever he hits it goes crazy, but whenever he misses it ranges from "sure, i can accept this" to "ehhhhhh" i remember a post that said togashi sometimes had different artstyles to incorporate a feel of a certain arc, like how night skies and cities were used in the yorknew city arc, while a more fantasy background was used in the greed island arc, but also the chimera ant arc using thicker brushes (like in the adult gon scene) to incorporate some sort of type of strong emotion, notably fear. also the succession war arc having lots of indoor spaces and rooms because well. it's inside. but also lots of text because it is in some type of political setting, though that can lead to weird things like the page that was just full of text he is pretty good at panelling, and making things pop out of the panels while also using the popped out things as a way to add more panels another analyzation was made by my friend how hunter x hunter looked more googly moogly and more cartoony than yu yu hakusho's artstyle, which i can see togashi does have a certain aesthetic, and i think its cute from creepy outlook

I really appreciate the diversity he put into his characters, their designs are beautiful. He is absolutly capable of doing amazing art, we have seen it in HunterxHunter as well, for example Meruem vs Netero. His way of shading is phenomenal. But the "problem" here is that his art isn´t consistent. Often he keeps everything very simple. If he goes "over the top" his art is great but it doesn´t hold that quality (like for example Vinland Saga). So the problem here isn´t his ability to draw but the consistency with which he puts out quality art.

Kite not being resurrected would actually be a plot hole since the regular humans who were eaten were reborn into ants, why should Kite be an exception? Now if Netero came back to life, I would riot, but Kite being resurrected totally made sense.

I'm glad that Togashi decided to to Continue the series. And I REALLY hope Gon and Killua would meet up again at some point. If not, I will be leaving the solar system altogether.

And another controversial, people forgot when Kurapika's teacher explained that no chain is perfect even if he mastered 100% of his conjuration affinity. So the only thing that made Kurapika invincible wasn't her Emperor Time, but the power of his Chain Jail, which he got from her vows. Uvogin lost because he couldn't destroy Kurapika's Chain Jail. if his Chain Jail was only 100% strong without the vows and restrictions, Uvogin would win because he can break that chain. So those who say Kurapika is invincible because he has Emperor Time, I kinda disagree. Once again, Kurapika is invincible because of his Chain Jail, while Chain Jail only affects the Phantom Troupe, so if anyone besides the Phantom Troupe and they are strong, Kurapika will lose. especially if the opponent is smart too.

7:24 the only thing that can cause a relevant consequence in the plot is if gon meets reincarnated kiteh witch is almost impossible considering the end of the election arc.Kite instead could have a role in future arcs or in the current one even

I have two controversial opinions; I’ll start with the lesser of the 2. number one they intentionally did not tell Kilua about Nen because they wanted him at his absolute peak without it. He could’ve known that his grandpa had a famous Ariel technique called dragon dive without actually knowing how it works. 2 Hisoka is not actually that good of a fighter. He’s just used to fighting inferior opponents. Texture surprise is versatile but it’s not that powerful and usually just gives Hisoka plot armor until Chrollo.

I think it is impossible for Togashi (or anyone for that matter) to write the expedition into the dark continent in a way that holds up to Netero’s flashback. They’d be encountering new dangers every other page and it would just be non-stop chaos and battling. How are you supposed to have a normal story flow when you could bump into a new chimera ant level threat with each chapter?

I disagree. I couldnt continue reading berserk, after the author passed away. The difference in artstyle (even if it was minor) was to different

There should be a character who just really likes popcorn and decided to create a nen ability that transmutes his opponent's aura into popcorn so he can eat it. Why you ask? because I was eating popcorn while watching a hxh video at one point and thought that was a funny idea.

Doesn't matter who draws it. The story is so good it carries it.

personally i love togashis artstyle its very distinct for me

that last bit made me very happy. I love to hear that Togashi is still very enamored w his own story bc boy do i love what he’s created so so much. I appreciate every bit he’s able to work on very much 🙏🏽

My controversial opinion. Kite's ability was supposed to be able to let him to conjure some weapons in his Crazy Slots, but out of nowhere suddenly he can be reincarnated bcs of his nen ability in his Crazy Slots taught by Ging? :/ let alone Nanika who 'might' be able to do that, it is overpowered because it comes from DC, but Kite? It takes away the impact of his death had on Gon by getting rid of the loss like what's the point he turned into a monster then? I'm not lying I was happy when Kite was alive again but when I heard the explanation about how his reincarnation works, I was like "huh?". It would make more sense if he was reincarnated in the same way as the other chimera ants than because of his nen ability, that crazy slots.

Controversial opinions? Morel's claim that fights between nen users aren't about power levels is a series defining and genre defying statement. It is also immediately undermined when Merum defeats the strongest nen user in the world because he was able to infinitely tank damage while simply waiting for a hole to appear in Netero's defense. HxH is great.... but it isn't actually any better or smarter then other popular shounen out there.

My controversial opinions pretty sit as: The Hunter Exam was one of if not THE strangly strongest arcs, I like a lot individual details/decisions in the Chimera Ant arc but as a whole I rather despise it, and I adore togashi's art style, while information may not be it's strongest suit, it conveys emotions and tension so wonderfully and I adore it.

Kite reminds me of Kurama from YYH. Kurama was a silver-haired demon who escaped from demon world and transferred his soul into a fetus. Then he was reborn as a red-haired human. Kite was a silver-haired hunter (based on the first color spread by Togashi in vol 1.) with incredible power who transferred his soul into the fetus of Meruem’s sister, and was reborn as a red-haired chimera ant.

Well I think Tagashi wrote the story amazing and I love it the way it is and it's perfect but I think he could've write it a lot better if he gave everything a little more detailed. For me it feels like every time an arc ends, it's still not finished and the story is only 70% completed. And I as a person who speaks English at a high level compared to other teenagers in Israel find it kinda hard to follow the story with the art style. Idk if it's because my English isn't good enough or the art style is confusing or it's just my ADHD but it's actually harder to read than other things that I read in English like comics other mangas and spending way too many hours in the internet and I made my fyp on TikTok 90% in English instead of Hebrew. So... hope I didn't waste too much of your time random strangers or... Well sorry Idk your real name "NewWorldReview" I love your content and hope Tagashi will live a long happy life+finish hxh.

My hot take, is that Gon should have retained his nen abilities, since he was cured by Nanika. Maybe he should have had a realization that he as a person needed to grow more and as a hunter gain more experience, and leave his story open, not going back to be a regular boy.

Would entero have been stronger if his hatsu was more enhancer friendly? Having mastery of conjuration and manipulation to his fullest potential, doesn’t negate the fact they are farthest from his natural affinity
