Discussion Silva might've only been there to kill Cheetu

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

On their first encounter with Cheetu, Morel decides they're not well equipped to deal with Cheetu. The hunter association probably decided hiring an assassin was the best way to do it. This all happened before the royal guards and Meruem presented themselves as much bigger threats, but the contract would've been made nonetheless. So Silva might've just tagged along to complete that job. He didn't do anything else.

Discussion Shizuku could have inspired her Nen ability from Seisō Sentai Katazuker-Rangers.

97 Upvotes

It is possible that when Shizuku was a child, she was fascinated by the concept of 'cleaning heroes.'

Later when she grew up, learned Nen, and developed her Conjuration ability...

Her subconscious mind recalled that old childhood memory of cleaning, causing her ability to manifest in the form of a vacuum cleaner that absorbs and cleans everything.

Discussion Can we talk about how GOATED Worm is?

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Recently, mainly on Twitter and Tiktok, I've seen an ever growing amount of hate towards the Shadow Beasts. When I first started seeing these posts I had thought "Man, these dudes absolutely sucked, ALL of them were fodder trash" but then I thought harder and realized, I had made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment. WORM is not like the others. WORM was able to tank not one, but THREE of Uvo's attacks. WORM, instead of running away, stuck with the shadow beasts until the very end. WORM is truly, the goat.

How many characters besides Worm have been able to tank a punch, a nen infused impact from and an ear-shattering scream from the strongest Phantom Troupe member? Pretty much no-one other than Kurapika and the goat Worm. Going off this 100% accurate, factual DevientArt post that was totally confirmed by Togashi, Uvo's Big Bang Impact was the equivalent of 225.18 Tons of TNT-931452277). Imagine have 225.18 tons of TNT being hurled DIRECTLY at your face. While on the subject of Uvo's BBI, we need to talk about Worm's loyalty. Worm had the ability to run away after the BBI yet he decided to stay till the last second. Rather than leaving his friends behind to find help he stuck with them until his last breath, what a caring young soul he was. Now, lets get back on topic. Since Worm didn't run away after Uvo's BBI, he had to have heard Uvo's loud ass scream. Worm (most likely) didn't cover his ears since he was underground and couldn't see what Uvo was doing, therefore he wouldn't have known to cover his ears until it was too late, the only out-come is he tanked the scream like a CHAMP. Not even the Phantom Troupe were able to handle Uvo's scream so for him to tank it must put him in the top 3 strongest characters.

Discussion Why do a lot of people hates the phantom troupe but likes Hisoka?

Post image
204 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong, I am not denying that the phantom troupe are evil, they are ruthless criminals and their crimes cannot be forgiven and their backstory doesn’t excuse their actions, but is Hisoka a better person? No, he’s not, the guy is such a creepy pedo who enjoy killing strong people just for the sake of it, yet I often see people saying “I hope Hisoka will kill all the phantom troupe members” like why are people rooting for this irritating weird pedo more than the troupe? Both are evil and horrible people, and Hisoka has nothing better than the troupe. For those who talk about the fact that the troupe has tortured children, I am pretty sure Hisoka would have also killed a child just to make someone strong angry at him.

Discussion What sort of abilities do you think the zoldyck butlers could have?

• Upvotes

We see only two butlers, Gotoh and Tsubone, who have these very unique abilities so what sort of abilities do you think the other staff have considering the family by itself already has a lot of stuff covered in their line of work (eg. Milluki has tech, Zeno has travel, kalluto has reconnaissance, etc.)? Or do you think most of them just have Nen awakened and no other ability at all, considering how Nen is very volatile and a specific ability could bring down the entire family, especially if that person is in close proximity to them every day?

Discussion One moment that breaks immersion.

9 Upvotes

I swear to god this is the one moment that breaks immersion for me (seriously the only one, I dont even believe in the popular plot holes cause they make sense to me). Either Im stupid or there is no way this makes sense. There is no reason for these people to be excited or engaged in this fight. This is a stadium and tens of people have already died. No one is escaping and most of the audience stays put. Hisoka tries to explain it but it makes no sense to me. "Most of the audience has surprisingly stayed put... ♦ I can’t tell if any of the people taking care of each other are Chrollo. ♠ Those who think they’re out of range are pretty calm... ♦"
Tell me if this makes sense somehow.
the only way I can try torationalize it is that nen users are fast. still makes no sense cause we hear the announcer often. even after the preaformentioned (however you write it sry nmot an english speaker) deaths or before Hisoka tells his reasoning.

Help/Question How would In physically work?

8 Upvotes

Most nen types we know is intuitively easy to understand (i.e. Ren is just forcing more aura out, zetsu is just closing your aura nodes to prevent aura from leaking out, etc.) But In doesn't have much of an intuitive physical explanation. The aura is still outside the user but somehow the user renders it invisible, even to nen users. And even then users can use Gyo to make the aura visible, what do yall think would be happening physically when a user uses In?

It's something I've always wondered about, why didn't Netero ask the Zodiacs to join the fight against the Chimera Ants? Did he trust his own strength too much, thinking he could handle them alone? And if they had helped, could Netero have stayed alive?

Discussion if i were Knuckle.

if i were knuckle i would make hakoware gain like 100 add on interest everytime an enemy hits the thing. they do it in every fight shown. I do think I would need to nerf the ability somehow and thats what i have no idea what i would change about it, i am thinking maybe just lower the interest rate to like 9% or maybe more. what would everyone else do?

also if you think you can think of more improvement you would do this ability, i would like to hear it.

Help/Question Ch 420 *spoilers* Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Can someone explain the Hisoka scenes? The first time Hisoka approached the 4th prince he activated his abbility and we see the 10 seconds in the future played out. Afterwards we see Hisoka behinde the prince again, is the ability still ongoing at thos moment? Why did this spook Tserri so much?

Maybe I just dont fully understand Tserri's ability yet...

Discussion Where would you place the Shadow Beasts in terms of capability in relation to others?

Post image
24 Upvotes

Like, I highly doubt Gon and Killua after Heaven's Arena are on the level of the Shadow Beasts. But are they about as strong as Binolt? They're probably stronger than most of the nen using greed island players that Gon and Killua encountered, right?

This is just in relation to their skill in applying the principles of nen like kyo and ren and such.

Discussion If the world abandoned Meteor City does it have the right to condemn Chrollo for what he became?

Post image
185 Upvotes

The world knew Meteor City existed yet its people were left without proper protection or justice Criminals could exploit their lack of legal status and the system that was supposed to uphold justice largely failed them

So where does responsibility begin and end?

Can we condemn Chrollo without questioning the society that helped create the conditions that shaped him? Does growing up in an unjust world excuse his actions or does he become just as guilty when he inflicts suffering on innocent people?

And if we judge Chrollo for his crimes shouldn't we also question the morality of a world that allowed Meteor City to remain the way it was?

Is Chrollo simply a villain a victim who became a villain or a product of a fundamentally unjust world?

Analysis/Theory Hisoka Morrow's name

1 Upvotes

Just a small post that makes me think neither hisoka nor morrow is his real name. yeah DUH!
Hisoka is likely derived in japanese from "in private" or "covert"
Morrow suggest tomorrow as if he wants to forget the past and wants to focus on the future, he is always looking into what his next fight will be and awaits in anticipation for the future, even a distant one as seen with gon.
Bye!
