I was just talking about it in retrospect . Plus it's nice to bring it to the atention of those fortunate enough never to have seen it .
Yeah I like crushing people's ideals :P
Hunter x Hunter

How are you crushing ideals by bringing up obsolete things.
-
Oh right I guess someone who still believes in monarchy can't comprehend how that's impossible! lolll
-
@project1980: Hisoka just keeps on getting better and better.
-
@No:
I was talking about the scribbles chapters . The ones that looked like crap and was barely recongisable .
I'm not talking about the art overall . Just that horrible mess .
I don't think any manga author has readers of illegal scanlations in mind.
It was kind of a strange decision to release that stuff in Shonen Jump, but if you'd actually buy the HxH volumes, you wouldn't have to deal with the scribbled chapters, so this is hardly a valid complaint. -
Seeing people get all butthurt about those "scribble" chapters gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside,
-
Gotta talk about something .
Might as well be about the series .
-
So how will Gon return to his normal self ?
A new nen ability ?
-
How do you guys think Meryem compares to someone like Lucilfer. The bug is really way too overpowered…

He's kick his ass one handed. He beat the Hunter chairman without any trouble, as far as actual sheer power was concerned.

He won't, hopefully.
He pulled a powerup out of his ass without thinking about it. A massive insane powerup that unlocks all his hidden potential without any real training. There'd better be a long term cost to it, thats how Nen works.
It would be insanely, incredibly lame bad writing if he just reverts to normal, no strings attached.
He can get his arm sewed back on, thats an established talent, but either he loses his childhood or his friendship with Killua or nen use forever or, SOMETHING crazy. You don't get that kind of instant power without cost in HxH.
-
Or maybe he dies.
-
I'd rather he return normal and lose his nen abilities or half the power of it and then go on some arc to regain it which coincides with Lucifer. With a sub plot of some evil guy taking over for the chairman or that one guy that was foreshadowed to show up again after he got reborn as a chimera ant.
-
I suspect he will stay in that state and fight Meryem. I don't think they will finish their battle though, since the King is showing signs of coming around.
As to the price of the powerup…losing all those years of his life could be enough, especially since it will seriously hurt his friendship with Killua (which he values more than anything else, I'd say).
I'm not sure how he will change back. Some very strange anti-aging Nen? Bonney shows up for a One Piece crossover? Or maybe HxH will also have a timeskip. The other characters could age while Gon is in some kind of healing stasis for a few years. I'd rather he became young again though.
-
Midway point, timeskip with a go-back-in-time-in-real-time nen, that way we get trained Leorio, how the world turned with the king as King of humanity, kilua gets older and gon gets younger, till they have the same age.
-
That sounds like the kind of good idea Togashi would write. I mean nen has been used in a variety of different ways.
-
If Togashi did that he would do it in an interesting way, probably via nen.
-
Stil you cannot go back to less awesome mode . You just can't .
Id get royaly pissed if he did seeing as it's prety much the only thing keeping me reading this arc , as it was so unexpected .
Yeah the king bores me , and more so the endless orgasming about his infinite power .

This a 1000 times. People keep going on about getting back to normal so casually and not appreciate how insane his power-up was. All the talent and potential Gon had was literally accomplished in SECONDS. Imagine if Luffy's Haki let him reach Whitebeard level. The only way you can ever reasonably compensate for such a huge thing is to give up your extremely promising future for just those few seconds. I realy don't like the concept of a recovery arc either because something of that magnitue should beirreversibe or it dramatically cheapens the whole thing.
-
Plus you have to admit this sets up all kinds of hilariously awkward scenarios for the future .
Especialy given Gon is stil mentaly a kid .
-
Unless the manga is about to end, there will be some sense of recovery to Gon. Most likely not total…
(Imagines the series as Gon Kilua a father son team)
-
Or maybe Gon will die. I could see it.
-
And then what? the ending? the quest of kilua to find gin?

-
And Kurapica , shall we not forget ?
-
Leorio will become the main character.
-
Leorio has the most easy to acomplish dream so far . It just takes the longest , if we take Shounen time seriously .
As for adult Gon…..okay I think he's manly as fuck and that's why I don't want him to revert back . That and this power up does need some permanent after effect .
AND think of the many hilarious scenes this can lead up to .
-
Adult Gon feels like a end game power up. If Gon wasn't the main character he would die right now, I was mostly joking but I wouldn't be suprised if this kills him.
-
And then what? the ending? the quest of kilua to find gin?
Gon failed, tough shit. The world is tough. Isn't that an ongoing theme of Hunter?
-
@Thousand:

So? What happens then? the story ends? or it goes on a complete tangent? or it goes on without the person who wanted that goal?
-
That would be kind of a let down .
-
This reverse time/other nen ability nen seems mad convoluted to me just to get Gon to be a kid again even if Togashi could do it in a perfectly acceptable creative way. Regardless someone is gonna pop up outta nowhere with the ability or with the info on how to do it.
I'd probably accept it more if Gon doing this isn't the first time this has happened to a nen user if he's going to be turned back to a kid.
I also wouldn't mind if he was just somehow able to at some point change from young to old Gon at will.
-
I think a recovery arc is really the only plasuble answer(as much as i dislike the idea), with that we can hopefully get a set up for Leoiro to re-enter the story with his newly gained nen ability to asist them, but i do agree that a good explaination is need for gon transfermation and that there should be perment damage. Btw how do u think the current arc will come to a close?
-
This post is deleted!

@Zik:

If he was able to control this new found strength n that was the outcome, i think that would be pretty cool.
-
The edit button is your friend.
-
ya working through a dsi is not the smartest way to go
-
Yeah, we definitely need Leorio back. I wasn't too happy when Kurapika was getting way more face time than the good doctor.
-
Leorio is awesome. We need him back.
-
Better yet this arc needs to finaly end . It already permanently deprived us not only of Netero but of Kaito as well without us seeing jack shit of his abilities .
Even if ManGon stays on in the series , this arc will stil be a plague to read .
I can't imagine any fans who have followed this arc since the begining weekly feel like . I wonder if any one of them stil gives a damn about it .
-
I guess this arc will end the next chapters after this hiatus but we will have another hiatus before the new arc I would guess.
-
I think the characters growing up and having costs to their actions is lame. Lets find a way to undo what has been done.
-
While I - gasp - actualy liked GT (put that pitchfork away !) I see what you're geting at .
-
GT was better when I was watching it in Japanese on the international channel I had. When I didn't know anything about it and it was magical and whimsical.
-
Watched the polish version , which might as well be called japanese , cause it in japanese , just with one old guy droning away the lines for all the characters on a slightly higher audio track .
-
International channel was awesome. I watched most of the buu saga and everything after that on there. Only thing that sucked was that slayers was on too late after and had to go to sleep for school.
-
ANYTHING but more Trunks, Pan, Gotenks, etc.
I did like how it was Pilaf that made him little again. That was hilarious. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for that blessed emperor.

One thing is consequences, other thing is "Let's wreck the narrative kiling the main character, the only one with a dream that isn't BE with the main character", or "Let's not give use to the protagonist to this extremly complex and developed energy system, he'll go on without, even if I said that It was impossible", when the best option is to keep the 25 years old with the mind of a 13 years old with his best friend of 13 years, that's the point when the fans can't predict anything.
I know that there will be consequences, but the characters are the ones that have to pay for it, not the narrative.
I don't want 20 chapters of emo kilua finding his new dream, or gon not taking another hit for the rest of the series because as it was stated, it will kill him.
-
I don't want Gon to be a musclebound freak for the rest of the series; it's more likely that he'll have severe muscle problems from such rapid growth, which would seriously impend his fighting ability and force him to create more intuitive Nen attacks. Think Zoro post-Kuma fight but with more long term effects. Or maybe he could have a bunch of psychological problems because of such sudden introduction to post-pubescent chemicals, causing him to be sort of insane and weepy. I guess he could also lose his Nen too; that wouldn't be outside the realm of Togashi, and it certainly wouldn't completely obstruct the completion of his path to meeting his father. Sure, he might not be able to fight his Dad because he's ridiculously weak, but his Dad might appreciate the fact that he sacrificed his future for the sake of his friends and mankind. But him losing Nen forever is really unlikely, because it would essentially expunge any chance of their ever being a serious Gon vs. fight again (and that means no final Hisoka vs. Gon fight that's been built up for years).

i still care although I just wish it ends now.

Yeah nen loss forever is just crazy. Togashi put a lot of thought in to it and it's really creative and good. He'd only be able to save Gon in fights if he created a whole new special ability (not unprecedented but I doubt he'll do this).
Now that I think about it while he's like this and how the King's minions at first seemed to be over hyping the threat level of some of the hunters and that blind girl I think Gon may be a real threat where he ends up beating the king half to death until he loses all his nen and reverts back to a kid.
