It's probably going to be a close range of that cannon we saw him fire at pitou. I believe he's waiting for mereum to get over confident. That way when mereum try's to strike him down he'll get mereum with the blast at the last second.

@Frozen:
Since hxh is starting up again I am thinking about watching anime/reading manga.So what do people think about anime vs manga,which should i start with?
i would recommend the anime until OVA1 over the manga. there are differences and little things you might miss, sure, but the superb animation more than makes up for it.
a summary of my opinion could be stated as:
hxh tv series > manga counterpart
hxh ova 1 = manga counterpart
hxh ova 2 << manga counterpart
hxh ova 3 <<<<< manga counterpart -
So, when's gon's dad gonna jump in and save the day? P:
-
Can't, too busy with 100 year quest.
-
Oh Shi- . X:
-
no he's just avoiding gon.
-
If ging did show up i'd be pissed cause that would pretty much be a torchlight for the end of the series.
-
Not to mention a massive deus ex machina at this particular junction of the story.
-
Gon finding Gin is pretty much Luffy finding One Piece. It'd only happen if Togashi wanted to finish things now.

I think it's more comparable with Negi finding Nagi.

@Thousand:
I think it's more comparable with Negi finding Nagi.
I see what you did there.
-
I see what you did there.
Made a reference to Negima which does have a rather similar main uber quest, down to the father/son pair having extremely similar names?
-
Instead of ging what about some friends and the spider group to show up. Of course they would not match the king, but honestly we have high ant:hunter ratio. 1 of these required the whole team working together, add the fact that there are 2 more royal guards and a king, the team does not stand a chance.
I don't have high hopes for gon and killua to fight against more than 1 royal guard together.
Also the attack that failed to cause damage pitou can hardly damage the king, and i think it was the same technique he is using now, palm like strike that was under him.
-
iam curious why in such a dangerous situation not the top hunters are all called to come(so also jin)..
i mean when do they have to come..when everything is destroyed by those insects? -

The anime isn't bad, but if you have to choose one over the other I'd recommend the manga. The anime tends to gloss over some stuff shown in the manga, and I've found the exact same story much more enjoyable when I started over with the manga.
Keep in mind there can be some awful art in the manga though.

292 Pics: Palm Reborn
[hide]

-
ouhaa the hairy lady is back
-
! Hoooooooooooly shit. I was NOT expecting this.
! Palm's out of the cocoon, and is crazy to boot… and fighting Killua(!?)
! And we also get Knuckle vs Shauapufu... way to go, Togashi.Looking forward to reading the full chapter. o/
-
Erm, somebody enlighten me please… Wasn't Palm an ally of Gon's team?
Apologies, I haven't reread the past chapters coz I have so little time to do so... :sad:

She was caught and has awoken from the selection process now she's evil.
-
holy shit togashi that chapter is looking awesome.
-
She was caught and has awoken from the selection process now she's evil.
well, the "awakening" process was to awaken nen in dormant people. It looks like what they were speculating happened and the king mated with Palm? Honestly I'm not sure. I know they were talking about that possibly happening but I never though it made sense even at the time. It wouldn't make sense for the King to mate with a human before he saw their value. So who know, I just didn't think they were going to be turning people evil, I though pufu was going to control them and Palm is on here own. I guess we will see, but I'm not huge on the evil Palm idea.
-
I talked about this a while ago, but they made it clear Palm was captured and put in one of those eggs to make her an ant a while ago. Pufu mentioned "the pupa of that intruder we captured is about to hatch" or something similar a few chapters back.
Here's my translation guys… this one much easier and more logical than the last. Not really so much that I could say it wasn't hard though.

Mangastream should have a scanlation done sometime tonight.

Thank you very much.

Well, ths chapter was less "HOLY SHIT AWESOME," and more buildup to upcoming "HOLY SHIT AWESOME."
! Was nice to see that Killua's worried about the fact that Gon's teetering on the edge of just completely flipping the fuck out.
My shounen manga sense says that he'd fight her until Novu showed up randomly and she returns to her senses through sheer fangirling… but this is Togashi so that has like zero chance of actually happening.
! Also, FUCK YES KNUCKLE VS SHAUAPUFU. -
it's on mangastream
-
That was it. Just got that feeling I get when I read a great chapter of HXH. Wasn't feeling it the past two chapters…dunno why, since I love both the King and Netero. Something just wasn't clicking with me for that battle.
But THIS CHAPTER. God damn awesome. All the way from Killua wisely using his yoyo as a mirror, to IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU, this chapter ruled. Awesome.
-
Yes… always fun in a translation to write "I wanna fucking kill you" if it comes about... that fit pretty well there... There were a couple errors in typsetting and me rephrasing stuff over the last couple hours in case anyone wants to redownload it.
So now Palm's back... Ikalgo didn't really do his job. Dunno what the hell the point of him is at this point... Not that there really was much at that point. So now Knuckle VS 1/7th of Pufu, Killua VS crazy Palm, Netero VS King, and somewhere Ikalgo, Welfin, Fratta, and a couple other unimportant characters are being unimportant.
-
So palm is now evil and can no longer use her clairovayance abilities ( is what i'm understanding) and she looks like a bad ass merry poppins.
!
also is "black widow" the name of the technique? or is that palms "new" name?
and I agree with everyone else: kuwabara vs. shau….err I mean knuckle vs. shau
fuck yeah!
-
Pouf fucking amazing chapter.
No Geppetto she still can use it. That 's why when she saw Killua she retreated, and when she saw (with her ability) that Killua was coming after her, she went to talk to him. With the reborn thing I suppose she got to see everyone again before she can use her ability on them again!
And black widow is great I like the design haha.
I think that Killua will kill her for the sake of Gon.
And maybe this will be the trigger for them to separate. Who knows. -

Her body has been reborn so her senses have probably been reset. Since she hasn't seen Gon since she was reborn and her ability requires her to see a person before it activates, then she can't tell where Gon is right now.
Also, she can't use the ability on someone when that person is who she's currently observing/is in the same place as her. I'm not sure if it's a condition or simply the consequence of the very nature of clairvoyance.
Best chapter so far in this batch, I must say.
-
Seriously Geppetto, your phrase "bad ass merry poppins" just made my day. And fucking excellent chapter btw. I was a bit emotionally torn by seeing what has happened to Palm though. I felt even worse when Kilua mentioned that Gon could have a nervous breakdown because of this.

I do that at times, make people laugh and I really don't try

Just to clarify, yeah "Black Widow" is the name of the attack. It was a katakana reading over Kanji like almost every other attack in this series. The Kanjis read "Dark Demon Goddess" in some old-fashion-y way.
And based on the logic in the chapter she still did have the clairvoyance abilities,
if you recall the condition for being able to use them was she needs to "see the person with her own eyes" then she can see where they are though that crystal ball thing. And maybe do some other stuff too, but that's all we saw. So perhaps it was reset somehow when she became an Ant. That's my theory anyway, I can't think of any other reason. -

-
Knuckle! ^^ I missed you~! And homg Palm! ;A; Oh no! What have they done to you? Poor girl …You do look more badass than before though..:ninja:
-
I prefer Dark Demon Goddess but Black Widow still sounds cool. How can it be old fashioned? Thankfully Japan (China for that matter too since kanji was mentioned) is one of the few countries that has not been preyed on by the forces of monotheism.
At the same time Japan isn't as guilty as other countries for mocking others with more than one God by calling trivial celebrity figures goddesses or whatever. Sorry I had to get that off my chest since the celebrity culture and worship essay I did left a bitter taste in my mouth on trivial things.
-
I meant the kanjis were old fasioned, 暗黒の鬼婦神 since I figured out the meaning I didn't research it much, lemme go check… 鬼神 (Kishin/Kijin/Onigami) is a way of saying "fierce god" or "dark god" or "demon god". And the 婦 in the middle means female. I dunno how to describe it that well besides it kinda sounds old-fashioned. Doesn't use "女神" "megami" which is the more recent term for goddess.
And I don't think when they say people are "goddesses" they're mocking countries with some sort of polytheism... It's just a hyperbole.
-
It's a play on words.
The root is 貴婦人(kifujin), which just means "lady."
But Togashi wrote it as 鬼婦神, which would still be read as "kifujin," but its meaning is more like "demon goddess."And there you have it.
-
awsome chapter hxh has some great pacing.
-
I didn't know that I was going to be learning about kanji today.
ALLRIGHT! =D
-
Good seeing what the other characters are up to. Palm is now an enemy it seems, she's a pretty awesome character. And Knuckle vs that bug guy next chapter. I want to see the Chairman's attack though :sad: .

Togashi never does what seems to be expected.
-
Nah I get you Kewl and that makes sense. It's just too many people get lazy and assume everything comes down to Judeo-Christianity when there are far more interesting traditions that that which helped form the world we live in.
As for your comment on hyperbole wat bothers me is that it's more the fact that I can't stand the hypocrisy of Chriostianity when they get all offended at a mere mentioning of their God yet they don't care about what other people believe and will casually pass off other traditions.
Don't get me wrong I don't mind references to the old Gods, I just get annoyed when monotheists are hypocritical.
I know you weren't referring to that I was just covering bases just in case!
-
i'm christian and I don't think that way.
getting off topic there….
Ikarugo showing up next chapter, calling it now

So Killua has a got a yo yo.
Well, one more reason for me to read Hunter x Hunter. -

I think that Killua will kill her for the sake of Gon.
And maybe this will be the trigger for them to separate. Who knows.and then gon will spend all of his time trying to get him back, completely forget about his original goal and hyperventilate at the thought of him dying… oh wait i'm thinking of a series gone terribly wrong my mistake
EDIT: pan should see gon because we know he's gonna go super saiyan some day so why not just let it happen
-
So Killua has a got a yo yo.
Well, one more reason for me to read Hunter x Hunter.That's pretty much his main weapon when using Nen.
-
So Killua has a got a yo yo.
Well, one more reason for me to read Hunter x Hunter.he's had that yo-yo since the greed island arc.

So…good....Why so good when you torture us with these breaks?
This must be what those girls with abusive boyfriends feel when they keep coming back.
