Hunter x Hunter II

I don't understand why no one from the zodiacs appeared in the ants arc. If they are the strongest fighters of the organisation why didn't they support chairman, gon and co.?
The Zodiacs brought this up, and it was stated that the chairman wanted all the fun to himself.
-

Initially they did but the chairman didn't; he had a freaking bomb transplanted in him, he was prepared to die even before the final battle. Also Paristan knew about the ant affairs. As vice chairman you would expect him to atleast show himself if not fight. What bothers me most is he not only didn't help the chairman but he also stole the cocoons for his own amusement. He is quite the evil.

Pariston isn't strong, he's just as cunning as Netero is strong.
He's mentioned he's weak multiple times. I doubt he could do anything against the ants.
SOME of the zodiacs may have been strong enough to fight Mereum, but that depends on how strong Hisoka is.
The truth is, we honestly will never know.
And even if they did lose, they'd have just bombed the whole area killing everything.

HxH is out on mangastream.

I always had the impression that he was lying when he said he was weak. Mostly that's because you really can't trust anything Pariston says.
I'm not saying he's on par with every other member of the Zodiac or better, but I think he's definitely lying or at least underplaying himself. I mean, you don't become a Triple Hunter without at least some degree of strength in addition to political sway. By comparison Ging is only a Double Hunter~

Also regarding the new chapter out on mangastream.
I figured it would turn out this way but yeah Pariston is a clever bastard.
Looking forward to next chapter so much. Dwune and List pointing to Ging made me smile. :)

This post is deleted!

You can't be that weak if out of all possible candidates and trusted Zodiac members, Netero choosed you as a Vice-Chairman. Also it was stated before, that Netero regularly sparred with the Zodiac members.

I just assume his ability is better than his actual strength, if we ever see it I mean.
It's going to be hilarious if Pariston still loses though, he probably won't, but I'd still like to see it.
The sheer fact that he brought up something he doesn't care about to goad the audience… just to stall makes him the ultimate troll.

I thought there was a page the explicitly stated that Netero elected Pariston because he was a challenge.
-
found it kind of dumb that gon can recognize his dad from behind like that.
I mean when was he last with his dad? when he was a baby?
He has seen a pic of his dad, so i could understand seeing his face, but the back of his head

The friends of his dad were pointing at him with a smirk on their face.

That's a definite possibility. I'm not really trying to make this a power levels debate, but I undoubtedly think that Pariston is lying when he calls himself weak. After all in addition to being the Vice Chairman and a Triple Hunter he's also a Zodiac member, whom were explicitly said to be sparring partners with Netero in his spare time.
I thought there was a page the explicitly stated that Netero elected Pariston because he was a challenge.
It was kind of like that. In Bean's flashback Netero said he chose Pariston because he didn't want a yes-man/wanted someone completely opposite of him.
-
Just picturing Pariston fighting is weird.
I just see him smirking the whole time. Knowing his personality, it probably has something to do probabilities or statistics.
It would really suck to be killed by him though, that creepy smile being that last thing you see.
-
What a chapter… Great as allways latly =) I hate it, that I need to wait again one Week, to see how it goes on. I really want to know how it goes on with Killua... Did Gon allready see Killua? Wouldn't it be normale for him to want to see him first of all ppl? Would he give himself pleased with an answer like "he's jut out for a moment, lets go meet Leorio", or might he have got a small amnesia where he forgot his best friend?
Would it be possible, that Kurapika has calculated everything through and is going to help out Killua by what ever he does and brings him then back to Gon?
-
Seriously Pariston, you're just too damn clever. What Morel said to Leorio about Killua has me very worried indeed, that's the demeanor of someone who just witnessed something pretty bad.

None of what you said is probably going to happen, I think either Killua said hi and left, or Killua dipped out before Gon woke up so he didn't break his restriction rule. Either way, Gon's not the kind of person who would get mad about Killua not being there.
He's not mad at his dad and he freaking abandoned him.
-
I'm proud of Pariston's ability to know when he's beaten lol. Seems that Pariston is one of the few people who has never underrated Ging.
-
Ging's expression is priceless at the end. I wonder is Gon will have any residual hax nen ability to allow him to be almost on par with Killua's current hax.
-
I was a little disappointed by Gon's artwork, I thought the author might improve him a bit but I was wrong.
And so much for Cheadle being super smart lol. She still loses everytime, guess just smarts isn't enough to cut it in the hunter world.
-
That was one sweet color page! Neat stuff.
Chapter went as expected though, but really cool nonetheless. Pariston delivers.
Intrigued by the Killua thing though… -
If Gon decides not to go see Ging, I'll have considered the main character to be completely revived xD.
-
Gotta say loved CP of hunter x hunter a nice style but it seems it took a bit much for him to do, the rest drawings in some panels were bit bad imo(not level of certain scribbles) but it was good chapter nonetheless,happy to see leorio happy but i hope thats not all thats he is going to do.
-
Even though things seem to have settled, I still can't help but think Togashi's going to twist things up a bit soon.
-
Well that was a damn good chapter. Really wasn't sure who would win between Leorio and Pariston to the very end (and hey, we still don't know for if Pariston is going to win).
As for Gon meeting Ging, this could just be a "close but no cigar" kind of deal where Ging escapes and/or Gon misses his chance somehow. And even if they do meet and talk, doesn't necessarily mean the series is over at all.
-
Gon might just refuse to see Ging because it isn't the way he'd like to meet him, just like when he passed the exam against Hanzo.
-
The thing that bugs me is that we still don't know what Ging was trying to accomplish and what will happen to Leorio (who I imagine gained some fame through this endeavor, regardless of if he actually wins. I'm strongly rooting for him with a strong bias, just since we haven't seen the poor guy for so long).
-
I like how so many want Pariston to not be elected, and yet so little want to be chairman. Gon will refuse, Leorio already doesn't care, Ging doesn't want it. Cheadle wants, but still loses. I want some revelations in the next chapter. For such a big matter, a little too much of these several minutes was left off screen.
-

What do you mean?
-

Yeah, I'm almost positive this is going to be it. Gon explicitly said that he didn't just want to meet Ging all alone. He wanted to meet Ging and introduce him to his best friend Killua, who happens to be absent at the moment.
Really interested in what happened with Killua though. I assume Morel said that Leorio shouldn't mention that Killua healed Gon because Gon would feel guilty that Killua had to sacrifice so much (probably his sister's life) to do so, but there might be more to it.
-

Think you didn't get me there, I don't think he would get mad, never. These are just questions that came up, reading the chapter. Bought went through a lot during the ant arc, and I think Gon doesn't really know how it ended, after him going berserk. So he doesn't really know how Killua is doing, and wouldn't he of all ppl who fought in the ant arc, want to know, that his best friend is well up (if its the case or not)?
Just wondering if Morau did say something to Gon or so…
-

AND Gotoh as well.
-
@Marcello: Don't worry about it it's just my impression. When main chars go on vacation, I sometimes expect them to come back looking better than before.
-
Lol just like I said last week. Gone would walk in like noting and found Ging. Lol
-
Even if Gon and Ging meet it doesn't necessarily mean the end of the series. The series could continue on with someone else as center protagonist. Like continuing with killua or going to kurapica.
-
Too lazy to look for who asked it. But I think Gon while dense could at least realize it was his father by the back of his head since, Ging only has one outfit apparently, and Gon has seen the picture of him, Ging's friend's were pointing at him, and guessing here Gon's dog like senses maybe remembered his smell.
I would also guess like others here that Gon will be all "Ah crap it is him! It's Ging!" face faults, pivots and leaves.
Arrghhh. I must know what happened to Killua.
-
I could definitely see a Yu Yu ending here, but I can also see Gon not wanting to meet his dad in this way, so who knows.
-
I hope Killua manages to resolve the Alluka deal without getting jacked with needles >.> Illumi looks like he won't let him go without a fight. I thought Killua might know how to free Alluka from "it" but you never know…
-
This chapter makes Pariston a cool character… I don't care if he becomes chairman now.
-
Why on earth does anyone think the series could be ending soon? Even if Gon does walk up to and meet Ging (which I have my doubts will happen), that's not going to be the last thing in the series. Just like how One Piece isn't going to end by finding One Piece.
I mean, think of all the possible stories that have not been resolved/could be brought up:
Jairo, Kite's condition, the after effects of whoever does win this election/future of the Zodiacs, Kurapika's subplot/The Spiders with Chrollo back, Senritsu's quest for the devil's song, Hanzo's quest for that scroll, Satotz's ruins (he did encourage Gon to visit them after all), more Zoldyck interactions (Illumi made it clear that this isn't over), Ging in general, etc etcI could probably list more if my memory were slightly better. Now I'm not saying ALL of these will happen, however the fact stands that Hunter X Hunter has too much story potential to simply end here. Give Togashi some credit~
-
HxH's never been about Gon finding Ging. There are many loose ends and stories to unfold, so there is no way it is ending here. Him meeting Gings already is kind sudden and unexpected but very Togashi like, trolling with our predictions and the such.
Pariston is everything I expected and more, I hope he sides with some of the main antagonists of the series so the story can get more chaotic and fun.
I expect Killua to have run off some place very far away with Alluka. I wonder what direction the story will take now. Is it a find Killua arc next, or a merging of different plots to start reaching and ending, I could definitely see Pariston involved with the spiders or/and Illumi, all of them trying to size Alluka for themselves, the Spiders succeeding and getting Chrollo back (if he isn't already), then us having the long awaited Hisoka vs Chrollo fight, Kurapika back for more revenge, and Jairo's story merging at some point with these. I don't really have high expectations for Ging as a character, I can see him sidelined again after a few chapters. -
This chapter makes Pariston a cool character… I don't care if he becomes chairman now.
That's what I though while reading it too.
Also, Ging is Kurapika disguised as Ging/A Panda. BECAUSE THAT'D BE AWESOME AND DISAPPOINTING.
-
I could definitely see a Yu Yu ending here, but I can also see Gon not wanting to meet his dad in this way, so who knows.
The scenario's not remotely similar to the final Yu Yu Arc, though. Raizen was sick and dying and one of three Demon Lords competing against each other. Ging is perfectly good health and is simply on the advisory committee for the Former Chairman. He's just a deadbeat who doesn't want the responsibility or bother of being a parent. His son's desire to see him just frustrates him, if anything.

Thank you, exactly. :happy:

Loved seeing Ging's friends sell him out to Gon. Next chapter: Back Child Support.

…I'm not saying he's on par with every other member of the Zodiac or better, but I think he's definitely lying or at least underplaying himself. I mean, you don't become a Triple Hunter without at least some degree of strength in addition to political sway. By comparison Ging is only a Double Hunter~
Hey, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought, to become a triple hunter, you must have at least a disciple who is a single-star hunter. It is on the 10-rule of hunters. So we can't compare individual abilities/strength based on this. Although, stars will definitely reflect one's accomplishments.

That's the requirement to be a Double Hunter. To be a Triple Hunter you have to do/find something monumental.
I admit it's not exactly the best example of strength (him being a Zodiac member is a better testament to that) but it does say more about Pariston than simply holding ridiculous political control over so many hunters.
