Plus this is still a manga so you get as powerful as the story needs you in however long the story requires.

Plus I think it's mentioned that the hunter exams were notoriously loose mainly because of the previous chairman.

The problem is the powers are unique so stealing powers is just boring outside of a one off fight.

What nen is is kind of poorly defined. Sometimes it's a manifestation of abilities or defenses and sometimes it's just DBZ power levels.

Kite plays no real role until the Chimera Arc. I mean he tells him info that he doesn't need and already knows in the anime.

I like Kite but that scene isn't why

Neither does Shank in One Piece other than inspiring Luffy and that's all you know about him for ages. You could make the same argument that you could skip it because the character could already have known about the One Piece, but then Luffys motivations and actions throughout the story wouldn't make any sense at all.

The same thing applies here, by removing that scene , you're removing a huge part of the character that not only informs his decision to do what he does at the beginning, but also makes the level of his fury at losing Kite later on hard to understand. The relationship is not the same, so the level of Gons emotional attachment doesn't make sense.

Gon doesn't need to be inspired, he wants to find his dad so he follows his footsteps. That is all you need. Plus let's be real,while I do like Gons freakout scenehis weird attachment is forced as gently caress. In the Manga and anime

Well we are going to see the protagonists again and I wouldn't doubt they get to the dark continent at some point for whatever reason. Probably tying into how Gon gets his nen back. Which is gonna happen one way or another.

Also the arc thing is weird as it was just motivation to get him started not actually an ending. Same thing for Kuripaka. Whose arc also ended but he is back.

Agreed. I guess it would be better if the titular card game in Togashi's theoretical manga didn't get made into a real life card game, but lol tie-ins.

I don't know making into an actual card game forced the yu gi oh manga to have actual rules rather than poo poo happening randomly.

you mean you can't shoot the moon and gently caress up high tide?

You can't attack magic cards until you could. The duel with the darkness guy was the best example of what the gently caress is going on though.

Youpi becoming so mad and so crazy he crosses over into a sort of rage nirvana gotta be the best moment for me.
And knuckle subsequently almost dying and having a death monologue in his head

I like how at one point Youpi is like " I respect these guys and enjoy fighting them" then like three different interferences later he goes "no gently caress these guys I'm gonna kill them all.".

Youpi was not ready for what happened that day, not at all.

Though watching him go from "I respect these humans and will give them a good fight" to "nevermind gently caress these assholes I will kill them all." Was great.

Yea I started re reading after the last hiatus, currently on Chimera arc and the art is sketchy rough drafts half the time. Made me think of how much cooler these scenes were in the anime (particularly Knov's infiltration).

Yeah if you want Hunter your better off with the anime as it’s extremely faithful to the manga but looks good and not like rear end.

The anime has the issue that some of the exposition, especially in the Chimera Ant Arc, can get a bit long winded. Tells you stuff you can figure out on your own, and being animated makes it feel weirder as they need still shots to hold space while they convey that info. Though it’s really pretty and goes all out in the scenes it needs to, especially in regards to Gon and the Ant King fight.

He isn’t forgotten he is just probably going to figure into it later. As I think Hunter is basically planned out for the most part.

Granted he will never get there but that doesn’t mean there isn’t real!
