This preview shows us all once again who is boss. Sasuga Togashi, you almost look like a real artist here.
Hunter x Hunter II
-
-
So when exactly will it be back? Which week?
Btw. I go for 20 chapters :D
-
So these are the manuscripts I guess?
My guess - Ging gets busted on the border and has a nice talk with fishermen customs about dangers of fishing in storm. Even if all they have is a river. Using several pages of stick figures and stock screentone pictures Togashi explains how Ging managed to fish out important Dark Continent info out of them using such nen as - metaphor, hyperbola and lying through teeth. -
-
Oh damn, Togashi's going all out. Just look at all the details, all the love poured into those majestic drawings.

This is the preview.
In some cultures, middle finger is a sign of love. Do you feel the love Togashi replies with to all your hopes of him working during the hiatus?
Haha, part of the jump live spoiler promotion, only for HxH get a look at the chapter before it's even really made.
-
Agitated Youpi voice: "A STRANGE FEELING COMES OVER SANDER! AN INSANE URGE! A SUICIDAL ENDEAVOR! HIS MIND TELLS HIM OF THE FUTILITY, BUT THE INEXPLICABLE APATHY DEEP WITHIN HIM COMPELS HIM NOT TO CARE!"
music starts
I'm feeling bold…
Agitated Yupi voice: "HE IS FEELING BOLD!"
I'm feeling bold!
Agitated Youpi voice: "HE IS FEELING BOLD!"
I'M FEELING BOLD!
Agitated Youpi voice: "HE IS FEELING BOLD!!!"
I bet on 50 chapters or more!
ZAWA ZAWAAAA…ZAWA
-
I was wondering, does togashi have an editor who can tell him if something works in his manga or not? Or considering that even though hxh is always in the bottom of the magazine and despite countless long hiatuses and shitty art it still sells like hotcakes and togashi doesn't want any assistans, he can do what he wants with the story without any involvement of and editor?
-
Look at the bright side. The fact that he already has art done, no matter the quality, means there's a high chance he's been working on chapters throughout the entire hiatus. Maybe we will get 30 chapters or more after all.
-
If the first chapter after the hiatus is scribbles only, I will buy something HxH-related, just to honor Togashi. 'cause you need giant balls to pull that off.
-
Hey you never know. Maybe Jump made the editorial choice to end on the beginning of that Beyond Netero stuff to keep the hype.
For all we know, Togashi still had a chapter or two of poorly scribbled chapters after before deciding "It's time for a two year hibernation."
-

People like you are the reason we can't have nice things.
-
Don't know about him drawing anything during the two years, but he ought to have planned out the complete arc, characters powers etc at this point right?

I will do the same, only that I will burn it, lol.
-
If we get at least a glimpse of the Dark Continent I'll be good. By the way, I'm betting 20 chapters.
-

People like me are trying to have some fun in a situation so sad it should make you cry as an HxH fan. The reason we can't have nice things is none other than the author himself.
-
Oh damn, Togashi's going all out. Just look at all the details, all the love poured into those majestic drawings.
Maybe he's a fan of Xkcd?
-
I can't stop laughing at those scribbles. Five chapters and YYH treatment, I tell you.
-
So I assume those scribbles are supposed to be teasers for the actual new chapters? Wouldn't put it past togashi to actually release it like that. xD
-

Woooow…well that's an optomistic way of looking at things...
-
Geez. If the promo material really is just pencil scribbles and a stock finished picture of Gon… does that mean he didn't have ANYTHING finished by this point and will actually be pushing up against the deadline? So much for any theory that he worked during the hiatus at all to build up a stockpile.
(I like how the one panel of Ging layout there actually has another panel above it that's totally blank and just word balloons)
Damn. It really might be a rushed exposition filled YYH monologue then just to provide the anime with an ending.
If I recall the last YYH volume had to be filled with random character sketches to pad out the page count.
-
If Togashi really ends HxH like YYH I will just call Madhouse and molest them until they promise me they will produce 100+ original content episodes to finish the series for real.
..and probably send a bomb towards Togashi's residence.
-
I´m betting in 40 chapters and new Hiatus of 10 years.
-
With all this betting going on, i'm surprised no one's made a poll on it.

This sir is perfect.^^
And the fact that they released those scribbles certainly probably means he didn't have anything finished at all. But now he has 2 months to draw right. Although I see him starting a week before the actual release. Oh my bad. The day before he'll scribble something together.
-
If the Devil were to punish Togashi, never mind flame and pitchforks, he'd just break his thumbs. No more DQ for you, Togashi.
-
My pessimistic self bet that we will get only one epilogue chapter where Gon, Killua and the 2 other meet X year later to talk about how awesome the adventure on the
New WorldDark Continent was, the death of the phantom troupes, Alluka' sex changes, Leorio becoming the best doctor of the world, and other random thing like Hisoka taking the head of the Hunters Association. And the chapter finish one a panel of the best fucking cake ever drawn in a manga for some reason. One week later after the publishing, Togashi is found dead buried under thousand of copy of DQ X Wii U version.My optimistic self just think we will get 10 chapter and a new date for the Togashi Day.
-
@TLC:
If the Devil were to punish Togashi, never mind flame and pitchforks, he'd just break his thumbs. No more DQ for you, Togashi.
First he would tie him up and then slowly deleting his save files one by one while making him watch. After that breaking the discs and then his thumbs.

I just remembered this and had to post it.
This just made my day. Haha, the fro has me cracking up.

-
The tagline for the new arc is "What is being aimed for is darkness. What is being hunted is hope. What blocks the way is endless despair."
I think HxH is about to get a lot darker. Also that line describes Togashi's hiatus' well to be honest.

I totally lost it at "Ink is Undrawable". I think you fucking nailed them. Scribble Tendency is fucking awesome too.

Darker than the Ant Arc? No, thanks. We had enough despair in there to fill the rest of the series. Yeah, the whole 10 chapters that are left of the series!
No, really, I think. . .there's no need? I mean, what is all this (obviously editor made) mumbo jumbo about? As far as I know, they are all going on a huge discovery adventure, right? I know we can expect extreme harshness, it's the Dark Continent after all, but, again. . .Endless Despair? Hope being Hunted? Darkness is being Aimed for??
I don't know how I feel about more darkness, despair, brooding and everything. . .even more if it, again, ends up being solved by Deus Exes and Instant Ressurrections.
But I feel like I'm talking about an arc that might not even take place after all. So, forget about it.

The next arc will have infant decapitations and rape. Or maybe the darkness will be manifested through the obscurity and sketchiness of Togashi's drawings.
In any case, by all means, do your worse Togashi. You can't do any more harm to me than you already have.

I just want adventure, Chrollo, and Gyro

But we already had that during the ant arc, lol. And infant brain being devored, if I recall correctly? Not so sure about rape, but I'm sure I could find examples of implied rape during the series.
If he goes for the next level in darkness, he'll have to keep pushing it. Like, infant rape. Or Hisoka finally being able to go "all out" with Gon and Killua. Or all of that at the same time? I can already see the catch:
"Adventures! Discoveries! World Building! Underage protagonists being sexually assaulted by a depraved psychopath! All of this and more in your weekly shonen jump, the comic book magazine for early teenagers!"
Oh, and add that super misleading Happy Gon mounted on a Happy Frog cover picture, and there you go, all set!

When I say infant, I strictly mean, you know, like a baby. A newborn. ("Infant" literally means "unable to speak")
There were those two kids who got eaten by the Queen, and then the little girl Meryem killed, but I think they were closer to 5-10 range.
But anyway, that's why I'm going to burn all my copies of HxH one of these days.

Fucking creepy as hell .

The only way togashi can be darker/crazier than chimera ant arc is if he puts some fucked up underground porn shit like unbirthing or something

I love Togashi but I agree. I thought this would be a return to the adventurous feel of the early volumes but I guess not. But I have faith in his writing skill so we'll see.
Also the ant arc was only dark in the beginning. The end wasn't that bad in that regard other than the 'I can't tell if anyone's the bad guy' either.

Where's mine ;-; (30 BTW)

Hey well, you know. I'm sure Gyro will be the largest antagonist of the next arc of Hunter x Hunter after this one.
-
@Purple:

Gon: "Hey remember when Gyro Threatened the whole hunter association and the entire planet and the Zodiac had to fight with him destroying a whole continent?"
Killua: "Yeah, that was crazy."
Kurapika:…
Leorio: So, hey, i heard a new Dragon Quest is coming out. -
Hey, thats the ending Negima had at volume 38, I don't see why HxH can't do the same at volume 33.
-
Well, I mean, technically speaking, Togashi's not even 50 yet… but at the slug's pace this is going, let's just say that the blind optimism really is astounding, and Togashi most certainly hasn't proven himself nearly as diligent with actual product to praise as someone like, idk, Takehiko Inoue, who incidentally is the same age for comparison.
-
I'm betting on 17 chapters. Sounds just about right. I'm also betting on a small hiatus after that and then three more chapters and then another huge hiatus.
-
@Rob:
Hey, thats the ending Negima had at volume 38, I don't see why HxH can't do the same at volume 33.
Yeah , i was referencing that. God fuckin' awful ending.
Oh, Takehiko Inoue. Vagabond is so good D; I should read it again.
-
I don't know if we're stilll doing chapter bets but I'm gonna guess 12.
It'll go down like this: On the day the tenth chapter is released Togashi will suffer a massive heart attack brought on by withdrawl from Dragon Quest and Shonen Jump will run the last two he finished as a tribute.
