@Schabrak:
Like any other kind of group of people who've been together all their life?
Again neglecting what I said.. You just pop up to counter me without any good old time post that had few lines?
Maybe I was not clear enough so I will explain.
I want to avoid spoilers for hunter x hunter so I just asked if other people see a lot of similarities.
OP and HxH are both shonens and HxH had family-like organization of people who are all loyal to death to group.
Kind of like in Doflamingos family, with exception of Violet being traitor as she was only one out of group same as
! Hisoka in HxH.
Phantom Troupe was
! like family because they all had same origin - town that accumulated "trash" of world so to say and they only had each other in
world. So bond was as strong as family, while all of them were thieves and killers. same with Doflamingo family.
Different origin and being different at heart was a reason why Bellamy had no chance to become part of family. Doflamingo and all of his officers
are empty people with no deeper regard for human lives or emotions. Bellamy is different and thats why he could not fit in even as he given his all.
In life there are also situations like that when person aspire/wants: place/job/loves person he/she really doesnt fit in/fit with. Oda is doing really
good job with developing Bellamy character and maybe even giving him new goal, life meaning soon enough(akhemjoiningakhemstrawhatsakhem).
Sure feel free to bring up other group from Shonen manga that had same basics for strong bond as those that I brought up.
I know you on forums for years and you were not always so bold with posts.
