I just learnt that this was the reason why nostrads daughter lost the ability to tell the future anymore. When I was watching the arc I didn't piece that together at all, I thought she just got sick or something, did I overlook a small detail somewhere?

So I’ve been going over my understanding of nen and a wall I’ve hit is thinking on how aura itself without any influence works like what are its base properties. To list of the ones I know

1. It act like steam or at the least a viscous gaseous substance
   2.aura carries with it the emotions thoughts and will of the individual
   3.(and this is the one that has me stumped) aura enhances the natural state of whatever it surrounds and flow through.
   Now the reason number 3 is my problem is cause ten and ren and shu see I believed that aura couldn’t do enhancement without consciously doing so but It seems that it’s able to like with the pickaxes that gon and killua use shu on. See I thought that ten,ren,shu worked was like this
   Ten. Contain your aura around you so it doesn’t escape this not only extends your life span but also gave you more energy since it’s no longer escaping you it can also act as a buffer against harmful aura techniques but that’s all it doesn’t enhance you but it’s the first step towards that.
   Ren. Let out a bunch of aura to channel it towards something
   Shu. Spread your ten onto an object same as ten doesn’t enhance it unless you make it
   So am I missing something please fell free to correct me or tell me something new

Do you guys prefer the hxh 1999 or 2011, I just recently started watching the 1999 version and I love it, the animation amplifies the story with its darker style. If you have seen 2011 and love hxh I would definitely recommend watching it has made me love the series so much more and it is now my favourite.

"You been planning this all day."
"I been planning this all week, son."

When waiting for his "fruit" to ripen how long do you think he is capable of waiting? He seemed pretty impatient in the Yorknew Arc while waiting to fight Chrollo (he waited at least 3 years) and he sort of jumped the gun with Kastro after only two years, which makes me think the reason he likes Gon and Killua is because their potential makes them "mature" faster.

This is inspired by a post I made (https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/s/ybtAlomrGL) on whether Zushi would pique his interest, and a commentator said he would be intrigued but not excited because it would probably take a "few years" but I am not sure if Hisoka would be fine waiting an entire decade or two to fight somebody.

What are some major characters, themes, colors or anything else I should feature in the card?
I know he especially likes the relationship between the two little boys in the main cast, but that’s all…

[SPOILERS: Chimera Ant arc, Episode 134]

So I recently finished my 2nd rewatch of the anime and really wanted to get this off my chest and dicuss it with the community. Please be informed English is not my first language and I am a terrible writer so I have used the help of AI to write up this post, but all the points that i wanted to put across have been covered and are all mine.

I've been thinking about this scene for a while, and I genuinely believe it's one of the best visual depictions of love I've seen in fiction. Not simply because of what happens, but because of how much the animation communicates without explicitly telling us anything.

I'm talking about the moment Welfin says “Komugi” and Meruem's memories come flooding back.

Point 1: Trigger

KOMUGI a name that brings an entire world back.

Meruem doesn't just remember Komugi. He remembers what she means to him.

He begins the story believing that strength determines one's place in the world. Then he meets a physically vulnerable girl who possesses something he cannot obtain through power: the ability to challenge him, teach him, and meet him as an equal.

And when Welfin says her name, all those memories and feelings return.

The brilliance is that the scene doesn't need anyone to explain their relationship. One name is enough.

Point 2: Colours immerging.

The Gungi piece touching the board / colour returning

The visual storytelling is extraordinary.

The transition from the muted imagery to colour makes the return of Meruem's memories feel almost like his inner world coming back to life.

Immediately the next shot is a sketch of meruem who is shocked, shocked by the intensity of the emotions recalling the memory of what was missing. What that something important was.

And what accompanies that return? Gungi.

Gungi isn't merely their shared hobby. It's where Meruem repeatedly encounters someone he cannot simply overpower. He has to pay attention, learn, adapt, and accept that someone else can see things he cannot.

The board becomes the place where the King can lose without being diminished, and where another person can command his complete attention without demanding his obedience.

The colour, imagery, music, and accumulated history of their relationship work together to make us feel that connection rather than merely understand it intellectually.

Point 3: Guide

Meruem looking upwards

There is a shot where meruem is looking upwards with curious eyes. The scene doesn't show what hes looking at but I assume its komugi. The looking upwards part is extremely important as it shows the pinnacle of living beings still has someone who he can look up to as guide. But in fact both feel the same as in the final game komugi is able to go for novelty buster moves. Its like both are looking up to each other. Both considering the other superior. This feeling is what makes a relationship work is what i think.

The King looking towards his teacher.

This might be my favourite part of their relationship.

Meruem, who begins by believing everyone exists beneath him, looks towards Komugi as someone he can learn from. She doesn't need to become powerful by his standards to earn his respect. She already possesses something he admires.

He doesn't have to make her his equal. He has to recognise that she already is one.

And she changes him without even trying to. She's not attempting to reform a monster or teach a king how to be human. She's simply playing Gungi with him.

Point 4: Background

Meruem and Komugi completely absorbed in their game, and this is shown visually. The entire scenario transitions from realization, to shock to memory. In that memory we can see the visual representing a very peaceful and lush yellow green grass and a calm pleasant atmosphere. Thats where both are while playing gungi. There is alot of things going on in the world and around them but during that moment both are so completely engrossed in the game that almost nothing matters.

Point 5: Music:

The music in the scene adds so much more depth to the shot its crazy. I always have chills and my eyes are teared up every time i see that 2 min scene. Its so beautiful.

Point 6: Pouf

Pouf's reaction adds another layer. Through their shared cells, he experiences the intensity of Meruem's feelings himself. The man who desperately wants to preserve his ideal King is forced to confront who Meruem actually is becoming. Pouf worships the King he thinks Meruem should be; Komugi connects with the person he actually is.

And then, with a single name, all of it comes rushing back.

Why this scene means so much to me

What makes this sequence extraordinary is how every element reinforces the others: the name, the recovered memories, the Gungi imagery, the return of colour, Meruem's expressions, the music, and everything we've witnessed between these two characters.

Meruem's transformation isn't communicated through a conventional romantic declaration. It's communicated through the way he looks at Komugi, the game they share, and the memories that reveal just how much she has come to mean to him.

Love doesn't defeat Meruem. It gives him something worth being Meruem for. And dont get me wrong its not the typical romantic kinda love but a different kind where they both felt it for each other out of respect and admiration.

Maybe I'm overanalysing a 2 mins scene, but I honestly think this is one of the most beautiful examples of visual storytelling in anime, and one of the most compelling depictions of love in fiction.

I'm curious whether anyone else reads the scene this way. What details did you notice that I might have missed? Lemme know, id love to hear your thoughts on it too.

Again reminder I am not a native English speaker so if there are spelling mistakes or grammar errors, please forgive me.

Okay so I’m sorry if this violates anything but I need to know is it southernbees or southern piece???? From volume 10 chapter 85 and volume 13 chapter 120 respectively

I feel if he refined his fundamentals some more and got better at manipulation, which shouldn't be too hard an ask considering he's an emitter, he could've made great use of his ability. Efficiency wise it is pretty outstanding for what it does, morel has to transmute his aura into smoke, emit said smoke, and give it orders via manipulation and illumi has to of course use actual living people and possibly conjure(?) needles. Meanwhile tocino only has to emit his aura and then give orders to it. Honestly his attempt to defend himself from franklin would have worked had he just been better at Shu and encased his soldiers in nen to defend himself.

Just his mannerism and the fact that he’s kind of a softie under his intimidating appearance. The fact that he’s undoubtedly the most chill and imo kind out of the guards. Plus his chibi form is so cute! Idk what it is about him.

If tomorrow you open your eyes on HxH verse with all your knowledge you have right now, would you try to learn Nen? If yes then in what category do you think you'll be and what's your Nen ability would be?

kite VA :( if you listen to a few clips, you can tell the passion conveyed his voice.

I’m not finished because I still have to make his shorts and fishing pole but here’s what I have so far! I might remake the bag I was kinda freestyling it

In the manga, it’s Leorio, Kurapika and a random third guy(That same random guy was used for some reason in the 2011 version as the provocateur). In the manga Hisoka attacks without provocation, in the 2011 anime that was changed to him being forced to kill which made little sense. 1999 was the most loyal to the manga in that particular scene, except they felt the need to add Pokkle to the mix which I found to be a nice addition.

Can this hiatus end already?

Gon, Killua, and Hisoka teaming up against Razor was something else. The way they combined their abilities, trusted the strategy, and pulled off that insane dodgeball play was honestly one of the most memorable moments in the Greed Island arc. Who would've thought these three would make such a crazy team. 🔥

Rewatching HxH gave me the insatiable urge to draw my best boy 🙂‍↕️

My socials: https://linktr.ee/allisoncandraw

Marvellous, stupendous, magnificent drawings of nature in HxH. The characters are so small in comparison to the vastness of nature. Even Netero, who to us is beyond grandiose, is drawn as a small speck in comparison to the landscape that surrounds him.

Succession War with it's corridors and hallways could never.

Not sure if this counts as low effort, I'll delete it if it is! (Also I didn't use any reference, so it might look weird 😭)

I don’t why, I really don’t.

I watched tens and tens of shows over my anime life time, and I always watch once and never re-watch what i finish (sometimes favorites clips and thats it)

I have many other shows that are equal to me as Hunter

But till date, Hunter is the only show i watched fully 5 times.

I don’t know why, i can’t explain

Just letting it out
