Phinks and Nobunaga arguing about which nen category was used reminds me of how fans usually are like when they also argue about nen types of certain abilities. Really great to see Togashi showed that these characters are just like us.

what a time to be a hxh fan....and theres even rumours of Vagabond returning...I guess Togashi returning inspired Inoue to finish his manga and get out of hiatus as well

I don’t think the Troupe flashback is totally over. We will liekly get more flashbacks in the future.

Hinrigh has a bit of a Morel appeal, not on his level, but a really versatile, smart fighter dealing with people more powerful than himself.

I love that Hinrigh's name just looks like the name Henry got put through the HxH data book

Also always good fun when Feitan speaks. He was supposed to not speak the same native language as the rest of the people in this story which is not really shown in the 2011 anime but is in the 1999 anime and in the manga including this chapter’s broken sentences. He was effectively mute in the flashback which makes sense given he probably was not able to communicate very well. Makes the concept of fan dubbing even more touching. In this tiny group of poverty stricken kids who cannot even interact well with media and each other due to lack of educational opportunities, they came together to dub a show :)

HxH is truly the only manga I’ve seen where no one is safe

I genuinely love Nobunaga and Hinrigh as our pair of protagonists for this section. They have some great energy!

Hinrigh has said in Hisoka's face he prefer the Troupe. What a legend!

Totally agree Nobunaga and Hinriegh seem to be forming a friendship. I think of how Nobu wanted Gon to join too. Nobunaga just a cool, friendly dude

The scary part about this saga, is that there isn't really anyone that has to survive. The closest to that in my eyes is Kurapika, but even if he died, the story would just keep going.

it's crazy, doesn't matter how powerful each of the troupes is..

I don't see Hinrigh as a GOOD GUY, he's just incredibly loyal to his family which is why I'm interested in his character. What happens when he has to go against The Spiders for the sake of his family after earning their trust? Will he hesitate or not?

Phinks and Nobu arguing was my favorite part. Adds a lot of character to them and fleshes out the relationships of the troupe more lol

I’ve noticed that Togashi’s storytelling has become more cerebral and thorough in revealing characters’ thought processes. Although, he doesn’t cherry pick the scenarios anymore, which can be trivial at times. During the pre-Chimera Ant Arc and during the arc itself, the battle psyche and fighter philosophies of the characters with those paragraphs going through the thoughts and feelings of characters were really fascinating. They weren’t like mystery-story reflections or problem-solving like in Death Note that showed how clever the storytelling was, but for Togashi it’s more of introspection and true omniscience of what he’s allowing his readers to access, like a behind-the-scenes look of how Togashi is weaving the story internally and as shown on the panels.

I'm more surprised by Phinks - an enhancer - saying he didn't want to just bust in guns blazing xD

Togashi makes things as human and real within the confines of an anime 😂. Seeing Phinks being wrong in his thought process is awesome to me. I dont want to see the classic know-it-all thought process of some antagonist. This makes it all the more real.

If there's anything we know about Togashi at this point, it's that he does NOT waste panels. Ever lol.

My favorite part is when hinrigh got his "senpai noticed me" moment

Need to Chrollo and Silva back story
