Or is it a super good idea because he'd reawaken his powers better than ever at just the perfect time?

Killua's currently on the run with Alluka and Gon's back to first level doing two years' worth of homework. I doubt either of them will get on the ship, though should the refueling station turn out to be Whale Island I guess we might see Gon. I also doubt Killua would willingly subject Alluka to that kind of danger.

Everything so far in this arc indicates that Killua an Gon are not involved in anything related to the Dark Continent, Gon even stated that when he was with Ging he didn't feel the desire to travel with him. Granted he says he couldn't see how strong Ging was due to his lack of Nen and that might have changed his mind. It's weird that they won't be in the arc but as of yet I can't see how they show up. e: Unless Killua somehow decides the Dark Continent is beyond his family's reach but that is slim

I found it was actually pretty decent and some of the fight animation and direction is way better than expected, hopefully that will carry on into Shippuden. However the weirdest thing for me (and this is true of almost every shounen now) is how vague abilities are compared to Hunter X Hunter. Togashi is just so far above everyone else in how his fights and ability system works.

I honestly hope Gon doesn't show up for the entirety of the arc. Killua and Alluka I could accept but definitely not in more than a minor or lategame plot device role.

Oh I am totally ignoring filler.Bad Seafood posted:Togashi and Araki stand atop the fighting shounen world. Araki is JJBA right? The two Naruto moments I have to give credit to as being as good as anything in HxH were both in the Final Valley fight. Watching Sasuke get punched so hard into the water he left a tunnel behind as well as whipped around by a chain of 50 clones ruled extremely hard. I'll probably reread the Hisoka/Chrollo fight soon. I assume Chrollo only kept his face in those panels so the reader would recognise him but in reality he had taken on someone else's appearance?

Jose posted:its been a while since i read it but i thought the whole point was he could use her power without repercussions Yes, but he could do that because she liked him and he didn't abuse her powers, like, well, everyone else. Aggressively abusing Nanika's abilities might change that. Also it wouldn't help in the case of ambushes or whatever because Nanika makes the three requests and all; he'd still have to go through that, and in an emergency that likely wouldn't work out.

Jose posted:its been a while since i read it but i thought the whole point was he could use her power without repercussions Additionally, the conclusion to Killua's character arc during the chairman election was his realization that Nanika was also a part of Alluka, and that he was wrong to see it as a "Curse" or a "Thing" separate from his sibling. Now knowing this, I don't think he'd be too keen on abusing Alluka as a magical "Get out of jail free" card dispenser.

Bad Seafood posted:Togashi and Araki stand atop the fighting shounen world. Togashi's secret is that Hunter x Hunter is barely a "shounen battle" manga. Count the chapters with battles and count the chapter without battles. I think the ratio is around 1:4 in favor of the latter ones. A good 80% is a thinking manga with mystery, suspense, adventure, drama, etc. Compare with Bleach or Naruto or One Piece, they fall back to their default stance: fight after fight, so much.

Yeah agreed, I think Togashi could write something like Liar Game if he wasn't interested in exciting adventures and a big bright world.

Bad Seafood posted:The twist to Alluka's wish granting ability is that selfless wishes cost nothing, or next to nothing, or at the very least if they do end up costing something that something isn't the usual terrible price. Killua gets "Free" wishes because he understands that, and makes his wishes accordingly. for some reason i thought it was that he gave orders rather than asked for wishes which is why he could do it whenever

I think Benjamin is going down first, by virtue of the fact that we've seen quite a lot of him and his men over the past few chapters, and he is being made out to be the biggest threat - hence, when he gets killed, it will make all the other wimpier princes look like serious contenders.

Healing doesn't cost anything but Nanashi's stamina which is a problem for large jobs. But Killua can also order Nanashi to do things like teleporting Illumi back to the manor.

Law Cheetah posted:i thought that "selfless wishes are free" was just killua's cover story for the fact that he's able to ask for anything he wants I think it's much more simple, Alluka-Ai actually likes Killua, that's why her wishes are "free" for him. It could be selfish and the same would happen. Hell, maybe she could give free wishes to more people, if she would have been alienated by the whole family.

Getting his nen back would be a huge cop out but I assume he'll be getting his abilities at some point.

I would have said both Hisoka and Chrollo surviving past the fight in heaven's tower would be a cop out, but look what we got. I'm confident in Togashi's ability to write Gon back in if he wants to, though I don't see him in this arc.

I'm confident in Togashi's ability to write Gon back in if he wants to, though I don't see him in this arc. To be honest Alluka already felt like a cop out. I assume she has more importance later because otherwise it would have made more sense for Gon's sacrifice to use up all his nen and then send him comatose for a while instead of taking most of his lifeforce too.

Serious Frolicking posted:that is completely wrong. no one cares if hunters have a particular specialty. temp hunters are people pariston hired, bypassing the exam. Are they? I'm not doubting you or anything but you wouldn't know what chapter that's explained do you? The story has a tendency to refer to Hunter types and nen users as Hunters regardless of having an actual licence, usually favouring Pro Hunter for the actual association dudes, it can be a little unclear sometimes, I thought temp Hunters were still licensed pros.

Keep in mind that there are two way to awaken your men, the forceful one and the natural one. Since Gon's Nen was forcefully awakened by Wing, I am pretty sure that he can ( and will ) regain it via the natural way, which I think is mostly meditation and training. That is, if the manga runs past the current arc, since I am pretty sure we won't we him or Killua this arc. This is the Kurapika and Leorio show, and you lot is going to like it

Gon wasn't actually using his real nen, he was using wing's nen that had been given to him, so really his real nen just needs to be truly brought out, possibly by being stabbed by a nen sword or having a near death experience where he half turns into an ant because he was half bug all along.
