ah damn, another hiatus just when it was getting good

I thought these chapters were like years old and we were getting new stuff after this one?

nope, somewhere up to this batch was years old, the rest wasn't exactly.
Also, inking.
So whatever happened to the announcement of the new schedule? Has there been one or did I understand that wrongly?
@Ivotas Nothing yet.
@pariston_hill
I see. Thanks for the feedback.
The announcement of the new schedule is on hiatus.
That's...just the announcement at the end of the last batch...isn't it?
Wow, found the original post from December, so I was wondering why it was posted today with 2,000+ likes. Uh hold on, I'll find something relevant to make up for it...
Uh...
How about that English dub for HxH? https://tubitv.com/series/300008178/hunter-x-hunter-english-dubbed Wonderfully removed from viewing as well!
Anyway I saw an episode of the dub the other day, and I think the only thing I found unexpected was some name pronunciations for some characters. I recall it was kind of like a Narootoe situation.
@TLC well you're not wrong. About any of it, basically. Have the same sentiment about Spiders and the flashback. Now that was an incredible waste of panel space. It's like Austin Powers 2 where it turned out the villains all went to same high school or whatever, been a while.
Ok, maybe I'm too harsh, but it was just weird and for a flashback that completely breaks the pace of the current arc, it didn't really go anywhere.
don't give up, togashiiii! let's go!
I remember years ago there was a comic made starring Togashi on his quest to be the Third God of Manga. A lot of it was him having internal monologs similar to Light from Deathnote. My favorite part was when he meets Oda who is sleep deprived and exhausted but talks to him about how much intrinsic joy making manga brings which blows Togashi's mind.
I think it was Korean in origin but I honestly do not recall.
I have been looking for a few years but haven't found it, does anyone have a link to it or a copy of it?
Nah, Sensei Hakusho is a actually published manga.
DraculAlucarD is talking about a fan-made webcomic.
I remember reading that comic on this thread, or maybe one of the previous HxH threads.
I can probably dig through this thread and the other ones but my fear is that the links will be dead.
I haven't been here in a long time so idk if this has been brought up but there is at least one other manga costarring Togashi. His wife, Naoko Takeuchi, made a short manga about their courtship/ early marriage.
Heres a link: https://imgur.com/a/RbErb
It was posted in https://forums.arlongpark.net/topic/23361 but unfortunately it's good as gone. There are posts asking where to find it that were never answered from 2013.
Who are the first 2 Gods of Manga? Tezuka and Toriyama?
Will Gon ever get his Nen back you think?
Will Gon ever show up again?
Gon and Killua haven't been in the series for checks notes eleven years and four months now, so probably not.
@Robby because he’ll never finish this part of the series and get back to them based on how long it’s taken to get this far in the current arc? Or because he’s done with them?
The first thing.
Even when he WAS doing chapters semi regularly Kurapika and Leorio were missing for like a decade while Greed Island and the CHimera Ant arcs were going.. It's almost twelve years later and we haven't even started the promised next arc yet.
Maybe if after the boat stuff is done and there's an intermission we might see what the kids are up to before seeing the Dark Continent... but if so I can't imagine what kind of messed up pacing that'll cause.
The only way we'll get to see any Gon getting his Nen back is if AI generation makes a leap significant enough to allow Togashi to just prompt the rest of the manga into existence with speech, but by the time that happens we might have bigger issues to worry about.
Do it Togashi, say the end was chapter 339. Take the ultime troll card.
This is something that happened.

I don't even understand why drop this though. How is it supposed to help anything ?
it's a piece of trivia presented in an interview, happens all the time.
So tempted to read but I'm gonna try not to
i mean at least we know there's 25% chance gon's gonna get married and the wife's gonna be called Noko..
but scenario D being a mix of A,B and C meant that it could be higher than 25% so its a 50-50 Gon gets a happy? ending.
...Scenario C seems interesting but we'll never get to read it
Probably the same goes for A and B..
huh.
this just got depressing.
But hey at least Gon gets a family somewhere..that's cool. And since the scenario says there's other grandchildren one or some of them has got to be Killua, Kurapika and Leorio.
So in one of those scenarios my boy Kurapika doesn't die early. That's nice.
edit:oh about Noko https://hunterxhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Noko
so grandpa Gon could have retired and was a famous hunter at the end of Chimera ant and never touched the dark continent and that might as well be canon at this point (considering how impossible it seems that the series might end at A,B, or C because of Togashi's health).
Unless the ship + Dark continent will be the final, final arc of the series then there's a tiny possibility that we get to see any of the 3 endings.
I don't know, my thoughts are in a mess now and I'm just glad whenever we get anything.
I can't see any other way to read this interview other than Togashi's admission he will never show the ending (not even in a YYH type of way, where he would just skip the rest of the arc and go right to the final chapters).
We are never going to see ending A, B, C or D.
A, B and C are probably just mentioned se we know he never had the actual ending set, but D is him saying "well, but since we'll never get there, just think of something along these lines" (and no writer ever would do that if they had even the slightest intention of actually getting to the end of their story).
@access-timeco I guess that's fine too. Honestly, I'm fine with the series ending with the succession war and the dark continent just existing there as a menace. Like how there's always going to be an unknown waiting to be discovered. Succession war will also tie up Kurapika's narrative and Leorio had the fortune of not having the same amount of baggage as the rest so the truth is it doesn't really matter as long as he gets a key moment or two. Everyone's storyline that hasn't been concluded can see an end on that ship.
Less Gyro but that's fine, it's one of those things that I can live with and can choose to ignore seeing how he is nowhere deserving of reader's investment compared to Hisoka and the Spiders.
Gon and Killua's arc has concluded and both has found meaning in their journey so that's fine too.
I guess there's Gin and Pariston which the Dark Continent arc might be for but since it's never really going to happen, we'll make do with what we have (which is whatever they are going to do this arc, if they are doing anything at all).

In true hunter spirit.
@pariston_hill The real hunt was the arcs we've lost along the way
@zeltrax225 People been debating if Capitu cheated on Bentinho for 124 years, I guess we can still hunt for hunter hunter.
Lost the will to read by the 3rd paragraph.
Ending D is pretty much the ending you would expect after Gon's story arc concluded and that's where I accept the ending for the series to be. Everything since then has just been bonus content about Kurapika.
@Shiebs it's too vague to spoil anything.
There's a lengthy and detailed bit about proper fish gutting and the best way to cut it depending on how you want to prepare it.
So he basically went and said "I'm going with three possible endings, the one I like the most is the one that will probably make the most people mad, by the way if I die before finishing please consider as official this one which I actually already discarded".
If this isn't a masterclass in trolling I don't know what is.
Whoever would have thought that the guy who ended Yu Yu Hakusho with The Three Kings Arc might come up with an ending to Hunter x Hunter that everyone hates?
So the end is the beginning of HxH but in reverse?

@Lord-Gaimon I must say it's the first time I witness an author telling the epilogue of its craft for some reason.
it's not the epilogue
I swear to god jumping on Togashi is such a low-hanging fruit that's been abused to death. It's really not that hard to do a little, let's say 10 minutes, of research into what actually happened to him.
@Alfiere that's not it at all. He has 3 endings in mind, with 1 that he will choose if he makes it that far. But he can't because of his health so if there must be an ending then this is the one that he has.
It's a safe, happy-ever-after ending, open to interpretation that doesn't spark any controversy and can be inserted anywhere in the plot with the understanding that he can't continue because of his health (or like with Miura). It's a flash forward, it's not good but exist solely because the author can no longer continue. He simply doesn't want the last chapter to be a random chapter in an arc or in the middle of nowhere.
The other 3 would likely require build-up, him actually finishing his vision and a significant amount of time and effort. All of which his health can't afford him. This isn't the best ending or a good ending or even an ending if we want to go there but it's him reaching out and wanting to give his audience some sort of closure. It's not that difficult to understand or have any empathy for someone who is worried about his health and the work he spent his life on.
You don't how bad I wanna get into this series but I don't wanna be stuck on a cliffhanger or something.
@MetaMario I really recommend Madhouse's adaptation (2011). I still think very highly of the adaptation. The manga and the art/panelling is good (and really skilled panelling/direction) but the excellent work done by the anime just makes it the medium to experience the series first.
The anime also ends at a part that is pretty conclusive. Not for everyone and every storyline but by the time you are there, you can make the decision whether to continue with the manga (where you get your cliffhanger).
There is continuity but every arc feels like a different genre (in a good way) and it's not exactly like One Piece where the narrative makes you feel obligated to reach the end in order to deliver a satisfactory experience. Power explanation only gets really complicated in this arc (my own personal opinion) and it is somehow easier to digest than JJK despite being more complicated.
I stand that 339 is the right ending for hunter hunter. Which is why it is an happy accident that the anime had to end there.
