I laughed, I cried, I soiled myself while watching. Truly the pinnacle of shounen anime.

I fail to see how this show is going to wrap up in about 13 episodes tho, seems like its just getting started... Hisoka seemed like such a big part of the series and was completely absent for the big arc.

The manga is "still going" so the anime isn't wrapping up so much as just quitting.

Hisoka's absent because he'd render the ants useless and end the arc in a second. There's a reason Togashi sends the people he does to stop the ants.

Hisoka isn't there because the author didn't want us to have an indication of his power. He was still mysterious af at that point. If he got #rekt by the ants, he wouldn't be as scary.

I think they still can. They MADE OVAs after they caught up to the original. They'll still need a lot to cover it but we'll be alright in about...*looks at his watch and shakes his wrist* twenty years. By then, we'll be second citizens of China and won't have access to it.

Writer is usually sick and spends a lot of time in hiatus. Most of us have already suffered this for some time. Chimera Ant arc was in hiatus for awhile. We were lucky it even ended.

Berserk is my fave story and the only manga I read, I really didnt need another one of these! At least the CAA made it all worth it.

Funnily enough, I read Berserk around the time I read HxH.

Both have ongoing jokes about how they are busy playing video games. Former: IDOLM@STER games with the latter being Dragon Quest.

I know you're probably joking but please, Netero would roflstomp Hisoka. Netero's most damaging, life giving move merely scratched Meruem.

I highly doubt Netero can beat Hisoka. We know Hisoka can rate people's power and he still wanted to fight Netero.

Not to mention Killua with Godspeed is factually faster than the Royal Guard at the least. Killua with Godspeed isn't fast however to Illumi or Hisoka.

Oh and Morel, who fought the Royal Guard somewhat evenly, doesn't think he can fight Hisoka and isn't even a battle-style Hunter.

Proof? Or you just saying stuff. Because Netero and Killua's grandpa were stated Yin and Yang. Killua's grandpa's about equal to or lesser than Chrollo and Chrollo was so scared to fight Hisoka that he had to massive prep, get new powers, and set up the arena just to win.

He was faster than Yupi who was the lumbering guard. No way is he faster than Mereum or probably even Pitou. His servant was able keep up with him with two riders, he's not as fast as you think.

He trapped a RG for 10 minutes. Plus he even stated he's not a fighter but a tactician. Which makes sense why he has such a versatile ability. I'm beginning to think you don't know what you're talking about.

Who won that fight BTW? Hisoka literally died and was nen magiced back to life. Btw you're completely wrong again, Zeno blatantly said Netero is superior to him when it comes to battle. You clearly didn't pay attention to shit.

Netero would wreck Hisoka.

it is not that I did not midn the narrator I loved how he would always interject to talk about the state of midn fo whatrever character was on screen all that introspection on a character like welfin is what made the ONE WORD scene easily my fav scene of all time.

Also Zeno himself said he was like a baby in front of Netero Netero was the stated as the peak of humanity and the result of tirlessly honing your skill for decades and who kept training and training and was already ridiculous by the time zeno was still a baby he might not have been in his prime but he was still the storngest human and that has always been how he was presented.

No, he wants to fight people who are a challenge. He hasn't lost until that point (Chimera Ant arc).

He's faster than Pouf too. And Pitou has nothing to say she's super fast. She couldn't even properly blitz Kite. He had enough time to turn and warn the boys.

Meruem is unknown pre-Rose. Post-Rose he's likely faster.

I uh...just said that. Morel says he's not a fighter but managed to hold his own against a RG. And his weaker students did so against the other RG.

The guy that had to do massive prep because he thought he'd lose. Note that he fought two of the strongest fighters in the show, Zeno and SIlva, without such prep. It's clearly a statement on how powerful Hisoka is.

True he said that Netero gets the better of him. But Yin and Yang implies they're close.

And both Hisoka and Chrollo would beat Netero.

And, double and, The RG is all weaker than Netero anyways.

He was also a second away from death and was lucky the hit got called off. Chrollo didn't even inflict damage except for a knife cut. It's like you selectively ignore details to fit your narrative.

Zeno was being sarcastic with that line, after which he conceded that Netero is far superior when it comes to battle.

Separately, not a chance in hell. Netero stomps. 2v1, they might have a shot but I still doubt it. Netero's nen ability is utterly broken.

I...didn't mention the results but the confidence of Chrollo. If anything that backs me up more. In a situation where Chrollo almost died and knew he would likely die (as he fought Silva before) he still didn't prep as much as he did for Hisoka.

This says a lot for the threat he thought Hisoka was.

He never said far superior, just that Netero is better/always beats him. And there is no way to tell if he was sarcastic since it's a literal dialogue bubble.

How is it broken? It's just a nen guardian basically. What stops Illumi from simply needling him?

Or Hisoka from bungee gumming the guardian and sticking it to surfaces so it can't move?
