I did the math Kurapika lost 4.9 years of his life over those 12 hours!

Damn it. This is literally the most ambitious and bigger manga arc ever.

Imagine if Tserriednich have some of the sheets of Sonata of Darknesss in his possession try to blackmail Melody into working for him. I totally see him forcing people to play some of those sheets as well.

I forgot melody was wanted by the 4th prince. Super scary. So happy HxH is closer than ever. Thanks Ryan!

Succession War Arc is completely insane and will go down as one of the best arcs in shounen history IF Togashi comes back and continue to write it and doesn't just jump ahead

Togashi watching this too to remind himself how many plot lines there was

One of the things I love most about HxH is how even the smallest side characters feel like they have their own motivations. Too many shows and games have characters leave their families, jobs, entire kingdoms they're in charge of... to follow the main character around like a pet 😅. Togashi does a good job of not giving the main characters contrived reasons to be joined at the hip.

There's so many strong people on board it's intimidating. This is like HxH's own version of the tournament of power except killing is allowed and everyone actually has a shot at winning.

This has to be one of the most important videos about HXH in recent times Thanks Ryan

53:38 thanks for the reminder man. sometimes I forget that [REDACTED] has the properties of both [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]

One and a half hour of HunterXHunter GOODNESS!! I'm gonna take my sweet time watching this.

At about 1:07:00 that really sparked a thought in my head. I always loved Kurapika’s development to not let his hatred for the spiders outweigh his mission to gather his fallen brethren’s remains. The fact that he focused most of his nen ability around him really put him at a disadvantage. Then the realization that all of the spiders and Tserri are on this one ship. Man, you gotta love Togashi. From the start, this arc looked to be Kurapika focused but now I’m convinced his journey might come to a conclusion with this one.

Ryan I was there back in 2020 when you covered this the first time. I would watch those set of videos over and over. I’m glad you’re doing this big video on the Succession War.

This arc is abolute madness! Even though I think it's great, its complexity will definitely scare away many potential readers.

I kinda desperately need this so thanks Ryan sometimes the density of panels makes it so hard to read the manga compared to having it exposited to me by you.

This guy actually explained 4th prince's ability in a quick, simple, and understandable way. Impossible.

Damn there is A LOT going on to have to keep track of with this arc but this video is a really big help in getting me caught up and fully filled in on the entire Succession War Arc for when HxH both starts back up and I start reading it. Glad it exists.

In my opinion the succession war arc has the potential to be better than yorknew city and one thing that I’ve noticed from re-reading is that Togashi likes to mirror or model his later arcs like some of his previous ones, for example greed island reminds me of the hunter exams, the succession contest reminds me of yorknew city, and I’m almost certain the dark continent arc will be modeled like the chimera ant arc.

You are the GOAT for uploading this type of content, it's as if watching a movie compared to shorted 15 minute or 5-minute anime review/recap videos that other uploaders do. The lengthy and detail on the chapters puts me in a cinema space and is very enjoyable.

Still don't let this distract you that hisoka's bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum

Since the new chapter is coming within a week. It's a good time to watch this video. Great work, Ryan 🥰🚀

This was AMAZING ! I’m glad you put them all together like this . You deserve million of views 🥰

Using my shart math skills kurapika lost around 5 years. Here's the "math" since there are 720minutes in 12 hours and every minute 60 hours are lost I multiplied the 720min(slept) by 60hrs(lost) and got 43,200 hours, divided by 24(a day) which came out to 1,800 days and finally divided the days by 365 and got 4.9 years lost. So I if I'm correct then yeah 😬 he lost them final years to say goodbye to the fam

The time Kurapika lost is the amount of time we will have to wait for next chapter

With the new chapters’ release I definitely knew I had to come and watch this. I really appreciate that you made this recap. There’s a ton going on but it truly is a brilliant arc.

Thank you. I watched the original videos constantly and was bummed when they suddenly disappeared. Keep up the great work.

Needed this for the new chapter. It’s been so long lol. THANKS!

Yo I was eating and almost choked on that "ben10" joke 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the recap tho

Didnt even watch yet, but instantly smashed like. Ill watch it for sure once we get more info on the new chapters. EDIT: Finished the vid, but i actually watched the original upload. I dont mind tho, nice to have the recap back again.

This is literal peak fiction. My god Tserrinednich is gonna be a menace

Thanks for the amazing recap! On top of the theories about Kurapika's possible death, I've had a personal theory that he might end up teaming up with Chrollo (& possibly other members of the troupe) specifically for the sake of defeating their respective threats in TerrorSandwich & Hisoka respectively. I dunno, just the fact that they are both in desperate situations with powerful targets who have massive advantages to their disadvantages in an overall delicate situation on the Black Whale makes the idea of a temporary truce possible to me. Beyond that though, as much as I'm looking forward to the rest of this arc, I'm also insanely intrigued by Togashi's plans for the actual Dark Continent & the actual reintroduction of not just Pariston/Ging's Beyond Crew but the DC's threats. I love the Succession War but if I'm being honest with myself, I'm constantly chomping at the bit for the revelations on the DC.

Kurapika probably called Killua to recruit him but knowing Killua's plan to go away with Ai after healing Gon, he recommended Biske on his stead.

Incredible job!! You manage to explain very didactically. I think I never understood this arc as I do now.

Bro your actually goated. Thanks for putting effort in the video & the team who helped you

The amount of times ive watched this just to feel something… 😭😭

The succession arc is definitely my favorite. I love it. Kurapika is really in a no win situation. Kurapika is trying to create a power stalemate, because they need it to survive, and he plans to flee the ship with Wobble, but he doesn't know that they can't. As soon as a contestant get off the ship they die, like what happened to Ka-chin. The succession needs to finish first. So sooner or later they will have to break the stalemate and fight to the death.

HELL yeah homie! Thank you 🙏🏿 for making this! You KNOW this is what all us fans were tryna do soon as those tweets came out cuz ain’t NO ONE finna remember what we read years ago but I ain’t have the energy to reread whole volumes again either 😅 Not all heroes wear capes

Great breakdown man thank you for the recap so excited for these new chapters. We can smile again!!

Tbh this was the hardest video ever. Dope recap man

awesome! thank you! I love hxh with all my heart but I have trouble focusing fro long periods of time, especially when there is a lot of text involved, so I haven't been able to fully immerse myself in this arc. Ur video really helps!

this is just the video I needed, thanks a lot bro 🔥🔥

thank you for putting this together i REALLY needed the recap

You got it wrong. Hisoka isn't interested in "wounding" Chrollo. He's interested in *actually* fighting him. He kills the Troupe members to reduce Chrollo's pool of abilities and force Chrollo to hunt Hisoka. What Hisoka loves best is *hunting*... He really is a hunter and not an honest fighter. He cultivates his game - like Gon - and then hunts them when they're strong enough.

Good work. Ryan. I tried to watch several other video recaps but this is the most efficient

Really helpful...made me realize how amazing togashi is even more than i already thought

Excited for you to cover all the HxH stuff like you did with the Berserk monsters and arcs.

Thanks a bunch man. It's been so long since I last read HxH that I barely remembered any of this.

50:40 My favorite fight in this medium...it wasn't just a fist fight but full a match, it had it all

Amazing, thanks so much for bringing it back !!!

It’s a good thing you posted this because I barely paid attention to any of it while reading ngl

Thanks! this is what i need before the release of next chapter next week!!

Thanks for the recap this helps to us that is going to continue reading hxh now that it's hiatus ends and releasing new chapter every week

recommended just in time, the first pages of the new chapter leaked today

wow I missed a lot of these chapters! Appreciate the work! looking forward for more!

shoutout to ryan this really helped refresh my memory of the arc cheers

Good job Ryan, keep up the good work.

The Kakin royal family’s name Hui Guo Rou means a Sichuan dish (aka twice-cooked pork. 回锅肉), in Japanese as well as in Chinese. I don’t know why Togashi would use this as a name but it’s just so funny 🤣 I can’t say it with a straight face.

Dude… this is such an amazing breakdown. Thanks for this

Back here now that a new chapter has finally been released! This video is a godsend

I really like this manga, unfortunately our boy Togashi has a terrible back issue, I am not even excited about the succession ark. I am mostly anxious, about the Dark continent ark. It would be awesome to see the expedition crew meet each of the 5 calamities and meet new calamities. What is there more to find in such a mysterious piece of land. Unfortunately, I Think it will take a couple more years just for them to arrive,given how Togashi slowly writes and has his back pain issues.

watched this a while back, but i forgot some stuff so here i am again :) can't wait for the next chapter

I was reading the manga and read some of the succession war but the deeper I got in the less clear things became and my ability to follow this maze of a story got a lot more difficult. It will definitely be easier for me if I can see it animated at some point because I just can’t keep up with the new characters, powers, alliances etc

This story is so confusing I actually have to see a video like this in order to understand it. And I love it!

Needed this bad tbh now I really can't wait for the new chapters coming out.

Thank you for this recap

Excellent breakdown man!! Thank you🙏

Was waiting until someone made a video like this!

Haven't gotten into the succession war ark yet but will comment and like to get this to more people

Kurapika lost 5 years off his lifespan during that cockroach sequence

Thanks for the great recap!

Thanks ryan I needed this👍

Halkenberg was my favorite too

cara adoro teu canal, sempre assisto enquanto estou trabalhando hahaha abraços do brasil

I appreciate this video very much, thank you fellow hxh fan

i dead ass thought the name of this manga was realliferyan good video nice work

Togashi must be using emperor time each time he draws a chapter for us.

Knuckle really is that dude, always makes me think of homage to yusuke and kuwabara

Amazing video this was a monster of a recap enjoyed every second of it😃

I’m glad Togashi’s health is back✌🏾

Here I am here again rewatching this video after rereading the 3rd time. I’m a fin for new chapters and I’m currently looking for new mangas/anime to keep me sane while we all wait.

Now that the new chapter is here this video is going to take off!

This arc is going to end with a ship of thousands of corpses sinking before it even gets to the preview island of the HELL that is the dark continent. Jfc its insane

Oh dude we DO have "Dark Continenters" in our world xD I've seen some claim oceans are surrounded by an endless landmass of ice, that's why ships can't fall down at world's end xD

foutain of youth in the dark continent + the urn of the first king of kakin + natusbis ambition + rituel to enter the dark continent .... some things are adding up i think natsubi may be the first king of kakin and hes doing all of this to get the secret of youth fuel in some sort of an eternal cycle ...

I've always loved viewing the Dark continent comparable to space travel to us with the pros and cons of such ventures. Thank you for the detailed video! Looking forward to the next 10 chapters

Kurapika drew his weapon because he didn’t want to reveal his nen ability at that point.

Thanks for this ryan

Ight you have the best indepth video with great commentary and humor

watched it all great work man

great video! but you forgot that Kurapika killed two spiders, Uvo and Paku, not just one

Honestly this arc is so fucking wild narratively my first read of it I just skimmed it. After this I’m going to properly read it

IMO the setup for the succession war arc > Chimera ant as well as Yorknew arc

Ryan the real life goat

1:17:30 If my math isn't wrong Kurapika lost almost 5 years of his life.

I have to say this video was really well made. It is awesome.

Knuckle could never handle the seriousness and politic pressure, he wouldn't fit in the scenario

HunterxHunter & Berserk are top 5 manga of all-time; bcuz so few stories hve the depth in every facet of the world tht makes it feel real & lived in

Calls him GIng and forgets Don has been on the DC for centuries

Glad you uploaded this, wanted to reread the entire arc in anticipation of the new chapters but then again Togashi could release a couple then disappear like the Avatar

this is truly a masterpiece video
