Wait, what? What does it mean when it says Jump will release them all of what Togashi has already done, meaning one a week in Jump or… a multiple amount @ once?
Hunter x Hunter
-
-
I can't wait for someone to kill that vacuum chick
-
Kurapika is trying to avenge his family by killing the spiders.
Sasuke is trying to avenge his family by killing his brother.
Kurapika is invincible basically, but only against the spiders
Sasuke is invincible to like everything in the series
Ryodan are very unique and everything revolves around money
Akatsuki have a few unique characters, but everything revolves around capturing monsters
Ryodan members have really cool Nen abilities
Akatsuki members have a few cool Jutsus and abilities, but most is a letdownI see your point, but Hunter X Hunter, has a way better plot, although the Ant arc was shitty in the beginning and my hopes went down, its getting much better.
….
Took your time to realize Naruto is a HxH rip-off huh.What Kishi does is take HxH and make it uglier. And by that I mean UGLIER.
About the Jump cover:
Eh, don't really look forward to it. Really don't. Most chances it happens, but can you really guarantee it'll be more than some standing figures of the characters in some classic poses? -

I thought the nature manipulation paper test was taken from hunter, but then I thought it must have been based off something else to begin with.
I really see very few similarities between the two, besides having 12 year old child protagonists and an evil organization that everyone wets their panties over for some reason.
-
That's beyond me then.
And here I even went as far as thinking the post I quoted had a little bit more than 'few'. Only that.
Those stuff are HUGE. So much of the series is there, and even then it's a rip off. [<- Talking about Naruto]
The only thing that's different is those tiny little details, who are bad as it is anyway.Bleh, I'm not fit into talking about stuff like that. Let's stop comparing those two~
-
Rai I was showing other people in the thread they had similarties, but weren't carbon copies.
-
That's like the 5th time this week.
Should I see a communication helper?
-
I said it once before and once this time because you didn't understand it? Someone likes to exaggerate, huh?

…..those reasons seemed like minor details and opinions to me.
and it's not like hunter was the first to do the "avenge my murdered clan" thing, or the "league of villains" bad guy group.
So I stick by my statement that people just like to generalize, and they aren't similar in the least bit really.
I mean one of your points was that akatsuki and ryodan both have powers.
ZOMG KISHI, CAUGHT YOU!!!!!
-
im just going to add theese to the list of similarities:
- mysteriously missing parents
- chuunin exame/hunter test
(you could probably squeese in the death of shikamarus(sp?) mentor and that guy that knew ging there as well if you REALLY wanted too.)
-
Jumps into conversation Anyone else here notice the similarities between Naruto's paper test and HxH's water test? I remember when that Naruto chapter first came out. That lead to alot of ranting on Nexgear.
-
yeah its been listed somewhere in the last posts i think.

I didn't mean about those points [obviously]. More like, the really big things who influenced [rather 'built'] the plot and really saved it from total disaster b the eyes of many. The whole story with the eyes and all that shit.
Honestly the thing that angers me the most is the lame attempt to try making the Jutsu complicated and difficult. Like the author has no pride anymore in originality. -
you know whats the big difference between those 2 groups
the Ryodan actually put up good fights before their deaths, (and most of the fans are rooting for them)
BAH ZING
-
Ryodan have awesome fights before they die
Uvogin went all out on Kurapika, and then even after he knew he was going to die, never gave up and finally admitted defeat and was still loyal to the Spiders
Paku killed herself in order to save the troupe
I was expecting more than 2 spiders to die in the Yorkshin arc, but this series is probably going to hit its climax next arc. -
^…...no it's not.
**im just going to add theese to the list of similarities:

parents thing is in SOOOOO many series tho.
Exams were similar though, I will give you that. but I wouldn't say they were so original as to jump to conclusions immediately.

Wasn't sharingan established before hunter though?
THe first thing I thought was bad was the paper test. but I think naruto actually lost alotta fans that arc because of the gay nature adding anyways.
but yea. just glad that wasn't your reasoning. I expect that shit from moria, but not you.
Anyways, lets move on. No sense in crying over it. I'm glad narutards are reading naruto instead of annoying us about hunter.
-
The red eyes were established long before the Sharingan and yea I'm one of those people who've noticed the way-too similar similarities between HxH and Naruto and it does make sense that Kishi's manga is going down the drain with nothing to rip off of now. I know someone mentioned before that the water-test and paper test was based off something but still to do something like that after HxH made it infamous takes some balls.
Now I'm just waiting for someone to post that picture of Naruto and Young Super-Saiyan Goku (it is so freakin eerie and confirmed my belief that Naruto is nothing but a rip-off)
-

not saying that naruto stole anything from any series or flaming the author for it.
im just pointing out there is enough similarities to make a list with them.
-
I think I might just drop all other manga now. I only need HxH in my life. Gonna be awesome to see Hisoka and the Ryodan tear shit up again. Guess I'll start the Ant Arc since HxH is back, gotta see if it's up to par with the last arcs. From what I hear, this is like the Cell Arc. What's the reason for that?
And yay, more Naruto bashing in another thread that does not concern it, Kishi fappage FTW. (sarcasm)

That kinda made me happy :p

Yep, like I said, I'm no good trying to prove myself in those kind of discussions~ it's not like we're proving it for a good use anyway.
It's been a long time [never] since I discussed HxH with someone :\ it's so relieving after I kept it all for myself rereading it over and over.
But yeah, about Ging, that's one of the million reasons I love HxH, the fact that Togashi took such a REALLY REALLY clinch and made it such a badass plot.
It also feels like Togashi found himself really after plot changing 4 times in YYH [note that I just finished it~] and most of the abilities in YYH easily translate into Nen too [even by Hisoka's personality analysis, with the exception Togoro].EDIT:
btw gaara d. lucci, luckily I already took my time with the Ant Arc when I transferred nexGear's translation to the volume releases [damn, I should've searched Lurk better T__T] so it's all written on my brain. I'm still gonna reread the whole series now though, it's been a long time and it's a worthy event. -
this is like the Cell Arc. What's the reason for that?
Cell in his basic form is very similar to the King of the Chimera Ants, that's why… I dunno if it counts as spoilers though. >_>

Oh dude, don't be a Huntertard. Especially when you haven't even read all of it.
Sorry, but rabid fanboyism annoys me to no end. Especially with series I like.
and yea, I think I'm gonna start re-reading the series after work. I don't even remember alot of stuff that happened.
-
There's nothing wrong with being a fanboy for a series you like tony-kun especially considering you are a OP fanboy, so I fail to see the problem. As long as I'm not forcing my beliefs on anyone, no big deal. And I think I've read more than enough to call it my favorite series, so whatever.
But to stuff that matters, any pics of the Chimera King? Can't seem to find a pic of the guy.
-
It's just annoying to read is all.
Don't recall when I've ever said "I FORSAKE ALL OTHER MANGAS. I ONLY NEED ONE PIECE IN MY LIFE!!!!" though, or shown any signs of being a OP fanboy(It's my favorite series, but I'm not gonna say it's the best.)
be a fanboy, I really don't care, just keep it in your pants/on narutofan.
-
Bleh, why do you care if he wants to read only HxH? I mean, it's not unheard of, especially when one is no particular manga fan.
As of pics of the King, I never really saw much except for vol covers and that one intro page outside of the manga. I never really saw a fanart too [thought I doubt there aren't any].
-
I don't care. XP It's just the post that irritated me. SO I said something.
When people say shit like that (ALL IM GONNA READ IS HUNTER, HISKA IS MAH LOVE) like people give a damn(we got the point the first time you posted), I find it annoying. Sorry, I just do.
I will not bring it up again after this.
-
@tony-kun: Kinda like how you bring up "Teh Narutozses Suxxxz" like a billion times in the Naruto thread (and everywhere else for that matter) even tho we hear it every page huh Tony-kun?
OH NOZ, KIHSI IZ A HACK, SAUCEKAY IS A FAG, BUT I LOVE Teh Narumitante Hero P2S GAMEZ.But you are right, let's not go any further and ruin a joyous occasion.
-
You're all faggots
problem solved.
-
Who told you my secret Carter? For that, I cannot let ye live.
-
Never said any of that stuff(besides like the NH games), but ok.
-
although his and the arcs similarties to Cell stop right at the appearence
also NGL has my favourite Gon moment in the entire series
-
One thing that always bothered me was even thought the King is built on the best tools of so many animals, he STILL doesn't have an armor. Hell, it seems like his muscles are out there. :o
Also the NGL [assuming you mean the whole saga] is more like "Okaaaaaaay we trained forever and invented awesome stuff LET'S USE IT" so there were kickass panels everywhere. I so rooted for Gon when he crushed that armadillo ball. Also Morau's Kaito teasing punch got me smiling.
-
@Rai:
I so rooted for Gon when he crushed that armadillo ball.
thats the scene I was referring to
and the arc is generally called NGL because that was the name of the island where it began
-
Wow I looked on Ritual to see that HxH was coming back in october and came immediately here to announce the good news, but as always I m a couple of days late. :-)
This series has the potential to be the greatest shonen ever, because the story doesn't resume itself to Gon finding his father –-> it can be much more deeper.
Now I hope togashi found a brilliant way to finish this arc. Ciao -
Thanks for the pic Tal. He does bear a resemblance to Cell. Seems like an OK design except for the thighs which are extremely huge.
-
I'm fine with him looking a bit like Cell. It seems like there could be maybe 4-5 more volumes and then I'd say he should put this arc to rest and move onto a diffferent one.
-

After every arc's peak of action is over, it usually takes no more than 2-3 chapters to move into the next one [i.e York Shin, Exam, GI endings etc.], and having RIGHT before the peak right now, it might be too farfetched to say the main fights foreshadowed for so long will take up 4-5 vols.
I'd bet on 2-3. -
That's not an official coloring btw. But I always pictured him to have similar colors.
but yea, I don't see how you can compare the arcs to cell. There is no future time travel and alternate timelines and some evil plothole doctor creating king, it was a new species that evolved.
What I liked about this arc was how quickly they evolved, and that all this shit is this bad because of Gon and Killua failing to kill that one chimera. Instead they "initiated" him to nen and made the ants as powerful as they are.
I just think their evolution was developed extremely well by togashi. Which is why I don't understand why this arc gets so much shit. It's really same quality hunter as always.
-
That's my favorite thing about HxH, in that the world of nen is very large and Gon and Killua obviously have a long way to go.
-
I'm on chapter 192 now. So far, I love the arc, and to be honest, it is very much like the Cell Arc but only better. The similarities are very noticable but it's not a rip-off, more like inspiration. Like the whole creature seeking to create/become the ultimate lifeform and gaining the abilities of those it kills or eats. Not to mention the King just plain looks like Cell. But that's where the similarites stop tho.
But yeah, this is the type of arc I like. GI was alright, but I'm liking this arc much better so far. Anyways, should be caugh up within the week.
-
well I never thought of it as simple as the "ultimate life form" thing, but that a mother always wants her offspring to be the best. Not so much as creating an ultimate life form just cause, but creating one to ensure the survival of the species, which is basic instinct for all creatures.
He looks like cell in that they are humanoid bug types, but I wouldn't really say it's similar to the cell saga because of that.
and yes, I also like Gon. I usually dislike child protagonists simply because they tend to cry alot and have big unreasonable goals that everyone seems to believe they will acheive because they are the main character, but Gon doesn't have a goal like that. His goal is really just to find his dad and go on adventures with his friend, which I feel is a much more reasonable goal for a 12 year old.
also that they are gifted kids, but the world is MUCH bigger than that. Hunter, like one piece but better imo, establishes a world and characters outside the main cast who are not only stronger than the main characters, but by a very large amount(killua's grandfather's EN being like a 50 foot radius.) I just like seeing that the main characters, and their enemies, aren't the strongest most powerful dudes on the planet.
lol, typed alot for no reason. Just my thoughts on things in hunter.
-
I wonder with the re-printing of Hunter X Hunter, a video game will be produced? You guy's opinions? Since most arcs don't have very many fights story mode would be a bit limited. But that could be made up for by really good graphics and controls, along with 1 on 1 fights between important characters in the game (since thats a bit limited too, might as well add people like Tonpa and Ponzu)
-
I personally don't think hunter would make good games.
-
I see your point, but it would be cool.
-
I'm not too sure how an adventure game would work, but I'd play a Hunter X Hunter fighting game in a heartbeat if they made one.
-
I dunno if any HxH games will work really. Just look at the fights, it's totally different from say OP. It's all really logical, the fights are very short, I just can't picture it working out.
And there are too many techniques that can decide the winner >_> -
