This man actually analyzed the succession war. Such a dense arc is deserving of a reread, I should get to that.

Does anyone else notice that kurapika has adopted Paku’s habit of asking “do you trust me” right before shooting someone with his nen ability

I think most nen beasts represent means of control as a ruler. -Tserreidnich : control with fear -Salésalé : pure lust (an unstable way to reign) -Tyson : control with love and admiration. Basically cult of personnality and how cults work as a whole -halkenburg : gives his allies power in exchange of loyalty. Ruling with collaboration -chorai : control with wealth. His nen beast produces coins with unknown usage. He doesn't know wha they couls be used for but he's sure he can control his subjects with it. Basically it's how money is just valueless coins, but it still makes the world revolve

As someone who struggled to fully understand the themes of SW this was very helpful. It puts a simple focus into an otherwise chaotic arc.

Kurapika already knows about the eyes. He just can’t act on it yet because of his duty to the 14 prince

The design of the top boat inside the black whale is suspicious as well, the design allows the top boat to escape once the chaos on the lower levels is out of control.

Togashi showing the nuance of nihilism is so superb. The consequences of society’s injustice ideologies are being excellently explored.

The SW arc people make the Phantom Troupe look like saints

The succession war is a literal side trip but could be one of the best manga arcs(if completed) .. Togashi really nails putting concepts like this into his character storyline..

Its Morjin' Time

This was an absolute banger of a video. I have always wanted someone to dissect this crazy arc since it seemed ripe with layers of thematic messaging and morals

I think the most disappointing thing about this whole arc is that this is humanity's best attempt to venture to the Dark Continent in a long time. The idea that this absolute miserable joke of a ship was intended to somehow survive a place as unforgiving as the Dark Continent is hilarious at best. It makes it seem like the idea of actually doing something as unthinkably difficult as seeking, let alone finding, Don Freecs seem like something that Togashi would in no way be capable of creating within his lifetime.

The great thing about this is that the election arc and the chimera ant arc tie in so beautifully to the themes you explained here. From the human families reunited after being turned into ants, from the chaos and heart of the election arc, I love how Togashi never underestimates the underdogs and the power they can have to disrupt things or showing how regular people are affected.

Great video. The Succession War is one of the most complicated arcs I've read in manga but you did an excellent job breaking down the themes in a way that feels easy to digest. Hope to see more videos like this on the channel in the future.

Love to see this. Morj is a great analyst of manga and critique of storytelling

9:26 he’s aware of the eye collection as that’s the reason he agreed to board the ship. What he’s unaware of is the head in the jar that potentially belongs to Pairo. Loved the video btw

Just want to correct you that Kurapika DOES know about the eyes. That's how they convinced him to get on the ship

Yeah man!!! You're absolutely killing it with this channel. Just an addendum to your point on the PT, they were compared many times to the Hei-ly family sure, but according to phinks, he said that they've changed from their old "watching the world burn" mentality, and we still aren't aware of what happened there. We're missing a piece in their backstory

And suddenly the Succession war arc is my favorite Arc in Hunter X Hunter.

i cant wait for dark continent arc, it will surely go down in history as one of the best animanga arc ever

nobunaga seemed to care about society when he killed that guy that could teleport through walls

oh my god i LOVE this video!!! you spelled out so clearly the themes that have been floating around in my head since i started reading, and brought up so many parallels i hadn't even considered. morena being a sort of foil to kurapika is something i totally did not see coming but it makes so much sense; kurapika is teaching people nen (about 20+ people i think, similar in size to morena's group) in order to force a stalemate and maintain balance. morena is giving power to her group in order to destroy balance and tear it all down. two seemingly similar means with entirely different intentions. the difference is, while morena is enabling the lower classes, the maligned and downtrodden, kurapika is enabling the people in power (the princes), giving them even more power. though unintentional, he did indirectly cause tserriednich's awakening, which poses so much danger that ironically enough, he may have created an even more dangerous situation than morena, despite his intentions to do the opposite!! god it's so good. the black whale as a microcosm of society and all its problems being pushed to a breaking point, the themes of greed and revenge both playing a part. drawing attention to post mortem nen being a metaphor for the consequences of revenge and destructive actions is so brilliant! i never even considered that. rambling aside, this was such a great video, got me really hyped for the series' return!!!

Amazing video i loved your analysis and it really reawaked my hunger for more upcoming chapters. Just a remark: At 09:25 you talk about Kurapika´s drive for revenge not yet being awakened. But that's not entirely true. While he doesn´t know about the Phantom Troupe being on board, he indeed knows about Tserriednich´s possession of his comrades´ eyes. That was his main motivation to join the zodiacs and go on the ship after all. So while searching for balance in the war professionally for the 14th prince. His revenge on the fourth is already his own driver the whole time.

One of the best clips that talked about Manga Hunter this year. Thank you very much for this wonderful clip.

Between this and your golden rule video you're probably the best literary analyst on this site in my estimation

Man I love One Piece, but your videos on other manga are just as great. Keep it up!

Dope video indeed. Keep going.💪🏾💙

It’s also interesting to see the parallels between the phantom troupe and Kurapika. Especially since in this arc both are keeping peace. Ik phinks, nobu, and feitan are only helping because they gain something, but still cool nonetheless.

Finally a Hunter x Hunter video from Morj 🥳

i truly hope, from the bottom of my heart, Togashi continued this arc until it finished, even outside from weekly serialization from Jump Manga.

Definitely the best analysis I've watched on this arc

commenting and liking for the algorithm good luck morj nice vid ! :)

This is easily one of the most interesting and eye-opening video i have watched on youtube. Enjoyed every sentence.

Oh my!!! 🤯 I've been waiting for an in-depth HXH analysis like this (for DC arc) !!! I wanna know if my own breakdown parallels those of the fandom. Yes!!! HERCULEAN LIKE!!! 💫👍🏼💫

Yoooo manga Morj let’s gooo!! I’m so happy to see you talk about other shit bro even tho I love the one piece stuff

Excited to see this depth of analysis applied to other anime, thank you Morj

We truly live in a continuous succession war

Absolutely love this breakdown, I haven't read this yet but it sounds fantastic.

Loving this channel, need more.

Another banger Worj video. I'm glad you're exploring other manga outside One Piece. I guess I should say "making analysis videos of other manga" for the tone deafs to understand.

An excellent video once again, really makes me wanna go back and read even the walls and walls of inner monologue. A bit more of a slow burn this time but i still really enjoyed the analysis, which again contains tons of literary context i failed to see even on my re-reads.

Great video! One small question; doesn't Kurapika know about Tserridnich's eyes? That was his whole motivation to join the war.

Thank you Morj for the fantastic video.

I'm happy to see a new upload

Arcs like SW are always my favorite so I'm glad to see you cover it

Great breakdown of this arc

Letss goo Worj. Great analysis as always

11:22 I’m glad that you brought that. I think Togashi has already started to explore a little with that idea when it came to the two sisters Kacho and Fugestu. With both sisters trying to sacrifice themselves to save one another. However, Kacho has already died and Fugestu is starting to wear her self down a lot with her nen ability. In the end just like Grandline pointed it might be a Romeo and Juliet scenario where they both die.

Respect to Mr. Morjin- Sama, never tough that you would be in HxH, sub earned. Thanks for ALL your content!!!

Will watch this after catching up Just like I did with CSM

I sense this channel is going to go far

banger! would love more HXH content

Finally HxH content

Amazing video Morj

This was beautiful!

Let’s gooooooooooo. Thank you Morj

Best video on the SW arc I've seen.

Straight to the point well thought analysis. Morj is the Mathewmatosis of manga.

I’m interested to ask Morj, how did you become such a deep thinker? What led you to this point? Also fantastic video. I love Philosophy Videos on Chainsaw Man and Hunter X Hunter. Keep the Vids Coming

Apart from the great analysis, I have to say that the outro theme is a straight banger!

beautifull, amazing, mindblowing. Just typical Morj.

The boat is going crazy

Great video!

Yes, more HxH content🥳 I would like your take on yuyu hakusho as whole some time too, favourite parts and the like

great commentary! Love the complexity of HXH, need to read it all, slowly lol.

some HunterXHunter content by Morj, lesss goooo, great video!!!

Great video morj!

Liked video to give you motivation to make more videos in this channel 😀

sick vid. revenge really was everywhere here

I’m really hoping manga morj does well, you’ve definitely got my support 👍👍

Great video

Chimer ant arc analysis when?

Great take

Been hoping for a HxH video :D

Glad you chose to talk about this

Haven’t even read this arc yet, I just like hearing Morj talk

Nice analysis

Wow greatly put

The Succession War arc summed up in one sentence: "We live in a society..."

Another Banger 🔥

Please more hxh videos morj this one was great!

It's crazy how this video came out two weeks ago and I'm only seeing it now

ooooh how smart of you to understand that! brilliant!

contents as good as ever

What i think is due to all these sins the ship will sink and won't reach the dark continent [ metaphors for world won't reach anywhere ] ...only few sole survivor will continue the journey [ probably the strongest and wisest who have pure travellers spirit and curiosity, those who keep shallow human nature aside will reach there , like ging ] rest will perish in the flames of revenge.

Yoooo I've been waiting for a manga morj drop

Lovely video

Peak x Peak

Subbed for more HxH content from you great video

Please more videos🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

4:46 kudos to the guy who edited the panel with Hisoka sitting in the cinema. xD

I'm so curious to what's on the letter at 7:36 if it's just some warning or mockery or any hideous things for them poor kids, I'd imagine Kuroro might just share them. But I suppose it's completely something else that Kuroro decided that it's best to keep it to himself

Eye opening analysis. I had lost interest in this arc after I just started reading it all this month (upto Volume 36 anyway). Your video made me appreciate it.

Great video! Will you also start reviewing new chapters when they come out?

Makes me wonder if the dark continent will be mroe of what it is to be a individual. Especially since the Dark Continent is a very dangerous place. I hope Togashi can spill his heart out in that arc

Morj masterclass

I would love to hear your thoughts, and see you make a video on Oyasumi PunPun Morj 👀

Pairo's head in the jar will break Kurapika's mind. Kurta clan members eyes are very valuable, but including the head with the eyes is considered to be the best form of the "collection". It's mentioned in the York new arc aswell so it will definitely come back up as Tsserinich has a head in his Scarlet eyes collection.

It's Morjin' Time

We want more HunterXHunter content......
