RE: Sexism in this chapter and OP in general
I don't see why people keep bringing up the crying princess when we've already had a pretty vivid description of who she is as a person. Not to mention that at the end of the chapter the look on Leo's face with the sweat isn't the face of someone who wants to go save a person it's the face of someone who's worried about meeting the someone they have to save.

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Considering Leorio's situation as a child I wonder if he grew up with an absentee father as well.

RE: Favorite One Piece Fight Choreography
I get into discussions about the art in One Piece compared to that of other Shonen Mangaka and I always bring up the fight choreography but a lot of people I've seen don't understand what it is for some reason.
I'd brought up Bleach/Naruto/Fairy Tail fight choreography or lack thereof to compared to One Piece and people just said that bleach fight choreography isn't bad because you can tell what happened. Well yes you can tell someone got hit with a slash or a beam but what about the motions and the fluidity of it and all the stuff that makes a good fight.
I don't believe that One Piece fight choreography peaked in any particular arc, Zoro vs Ryuma was great and so was the Strawhats vs Oars and Kizaru vs Hawkins/Apoo/Drake and the first Magellan fight amongst others. -

I don't use 4chan but someone sent me this link to the archive of the thread when Leorio returned to the manga.
Pretty funny https://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/57187200. -

Who's ready for the punch of the series tomorrow?

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
So this happened in the movie? Seems like a lot of pairing fuel for our mains.

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
@Purple:
The way the preview went this week, it seems more like those scenes'll be in the next episode, because as the narrator guy said "That man returns" or something like that.
It has to be in the next episode, it can't be after that because if they have him show up at the end and then don't do it until next week it probably would mess up the flow and it wouldn't be as amazing. Plus it probably wouldn't be at the end.

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
@Purple:
And punching absent fathers across the room, don't forget that!
I really hope the anime gets that right since they skipped his other scenes. I want there to be complete silence except the sound of Leorios shoes tapping when he's walking up to the podium.

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Leorios nen ability is perfect for in boat spying and combat.

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Decided to finally read HxH manga. Don't like it, but still finished up to last chapter.
Btw Leorio have the most useless power I've seen and all Hunters made such a big deal out of it. Ging probably used it to add at least some value to that crap by taking out those fodders with it. Unless Leorio can guide his attacks through human body towards vital organs.
Leorio will deck you fool.

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Leorio got Kurapika to smile again.

RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
Out of all the characters in this arc I think Bellamy has the best chance of joining and that isn't saying much at all.
I don't see how Oda could make any of these people crewmate worthy in such a short amount of time. -
RE: Official Dressrosa Thread
@The:
I recall Pica being liked for a little bit but when he brought a sword out everyone liked him less for reasons. I don't recall pink being liked much, unless it's because Franky is going to fight him. If I had to choose my two favorites at the moment, it would be Dellinger and Vergo (He was an executive, just isn't part of this arc).
Maybe the Pics love was just in other communities because where I've seen people are ranking him in the top 3 executives but in my opinion he's pretty underwhelming in everything from his actual character to his deign and even his fruit.
I guess people just love the stoic type. -
RE: Official Dressrosa Thread
Who would you say is currently the most popular executive amongst the fans? From what I've seen its either Senior Pink (which I can't fault) or Pica (which I don't understand).

RE: Chapter 753: " Battle"
. Whaaaat
It was the most obvious thing in the entire world that he was going to confront Doflamingo.
-
RE: Chapter 753: " Battle"
This doesn't really mean that they grew up together.
Considering that Bellamy was just a rookie 2 years ago, he's nowhere close to Doula Mongo's age.
Just because they didn't grow up together doesn't mean that they can't have a relationship with each other from years ago. Like a kid Bellamy and a teen or adult Flamingo. The words that were used in that conversation are the kind of things you only say if you have history with someone.
-
RE: Chapter 753: " Battle"
Luffy: Let's fight!
Domflamingo: YEAH!
Bellamy: This reminds me of my backstory.
Then we are screwed.
That would be spectacular.
Okay maybe not at that particular point but I'd personally love a Bellamy flashback. -
RE: Chapter 753: " Battle"
It's not that Oda wrote him in a shitty way. It's more like his constant irritating fans made him pretty goddamn annoying every time he shows up.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Probably envious that he has sexier legs than him
Bellamy fans? Since when?
-
RE: Chapter 753: " Battle"
Feels like the last couple of months of One Piece has just been the characters running around and jumping to different characters every couple of pages. Can we just get a fight please or at least the flashback. Also I hate Bellamy.
The Dellinger scene reminded me of Freiza impaling Krillin, I was kind of expecting him to start shaking Suileman around like Freiza
It makes me feel bad knowing that so many people dislike Bellamy. Despite how big of a fan I am of him I still have to acknowledge that since so many people hate him that Oda dropped the ball with Bellamy somewhere.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@NER:
I hate dellinger so much its unreal.
Do think that he's badly written or is it just a character preference thing?

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
The first half of the chapter was great; the second half was just tedious to read.
Not only can Ging outdo you in your greatest skill/talent, he can even understand the concept of your ability and imitate it. That's also not even his actual nen ability.
I know Ging one of the top 5 nen user. So, him being hax is expected.
But I didn't like the fact that he use Leorio's ability. At least, let Leorio showcase his own ability!Who says that Ging can do Leorio better than Leorio? I'm pretty sure that we'll see more uses that Ging didn't think of when it's Leorios turn to showcase his powers.
-
RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Did we spend an entire chapter dwelving into why Ging was offering money to these guys?
Actually, hasn't that been a point for, like, 3 or 4 consecutive chapters?
Really, I'm at a total, complete loss as to what Togashi considers relevant and worth developing for entire chapters. Totally lost.
I guess the Nen moments are cool, but still too much time focused on minute things, near-infinite monologues and exposition. I can't seem to enjoy HxH since its return.
He used the money issue to introduce characters, expand on Gings character, set up the plot point in this chapter, and expand on the soldiers and actual expedition. It was fine.
-
RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Leorio may be rash and hot headed but he's not dumb. I'm sure he's even thought of more uses for it than we've seen yet.
-
RE: Chapter 753: " Battle"
Bellamy's scene was particularly short and came to not that much. . .which was totally done voluntarily by Oda.
Bellamy will be this arc's Brownbeard: betrayed by his "master", desperate, he will make Luffy emotionally resonate with him and fuel his desire to stomp Dofla in the shnutz. That oughta be good, I hope and expect.
Bellamy is my favorite character this arc so that's why it was big for me to see him again.
-
RE: Chapter 753: " Battle"
So it's going to be Dellinger vs Bartolomeo or Dellinger vs Bellamy right?

Bellamy made this chapter for me. Dellinger was a bonus.

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
I don't know if it's really a big thing here but I've noticed a lot of people in other Hunter x Hunter communities or anime forums trying to contest Gon's status as the main character and I really don't understand it.
-
RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Not really, he only got a good backstory and used to own a country. Seemed more like an introduced once and then forgotten type of character, though that might just be because of more meta reasons. Gyro is certainly no Dragon.
I would love for the Phantom Troupe to make an appearance. Hisoka too, it'd be amusing if you left him in a room with Ging or Pariston.and lol at Ging being good at everything except as a father. Ging is like Togashi's avatar and Gon would be the HxH manga.
But it was stated that Gyro wants to spread evil throughout the world and that he's fated to meet with Gon.

RE: First Round Match #7
Bellamy is in third place.
We need to keep this lead. -
RE: First Round Match #7
Vote for Bellamy!
But don't worry, even if you don't…................ he won't laugh at you.
(On a separate note I'm glad this forum likes Bellamy) -
RE: First Round Match #7
Vote for Bellamy! It'll put a spring in your step! -
RE: 2014 APCT First Round: The Red Wedding Discussion Thread.
Hey, I think exchanging opinions about the characters should the part of any event that involves the characters. As long as it isn't pointless bashing, that should be fine.
Anyway… I'm kinda confused as what you mean by innocent civilians. Coby, at least canon Coby, had no interactions with innocent civilians, if I recall correctly.
And I would argue his actions endangered them more then anything else, to be honest.
We haven't seen anything that Coby has done but he's most defiantly done regular Marine things. I'm sure it was just that he'd never been in a war of this caliber so it broke him down.
-
RE: 2014 APCT First Round: The Red Wedding Discussion Thread.
Señor Pink is actually the only guy I'm sure to vote for in the next match…
...
... Yes, I know of Helmeppo and Coby. No, my support does not stretch to them. They are two marines I've grown to dislike. It happens even to the best of fanboys, I suppose.
Damn they're what made me a Marine fan.
They're sure to get my vote along with Bellamy. -
RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
Was that Leorio looking at the camera or was he looking at Kurapika?

RE: 2014 APCT First Round: The Red Wedding Discussion Thread.
Is anyone making some Bellamy campaigns?
-
RE: 2014 APCT First Round: The Red Wedding Discussion Thread.
Damn Bellamy is gonna have a hard match this year.
I'm gonna have to campaign as hard as I can using a kindle fire because I know nothing about editing photos on it. -

RE: Toriko II: Ichiryuu's Slimy Insides!!
I'm glad that Mappy was able to live though because I can't wait to see him fight.
Otherwise this chapter just felt to ridiculous to me which is strange considering all of the other stuff in Toriko and I still despise food luck.
Good chapter all around though.
On a separate not this chapter sprung up a fury of Toriko>One Piece posts in a manga group I use. -
RE: Toriko II: Ichiryuu's Slimy Insides!!
This is just way to ridiculous for me.
-
RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
So do we know what Togashi's project is?

RE: Hiatus x Hiatus III: Goodnight, Sweet Princes
@Purple:
The killing joke provided a narrative told from the Joker's view so you could get a sense of how it was to think from inside the character. It's not the greatest backstory ever, and they even prod that idea with the Joker himself saying that he doesn't even know if that's true anymore. The backstory was a complement to seeing inside his mind but it doesn't exactly define the character in any way.
I honestly thought that the Luffy flashback was incredibly weak and didn't provide us much of any insight that we didn't already know about him. It'll be important down the road with the heavenly dragon folk and Sabo's origins as part of the rich folk, but Luffy is, well, still Luffy after all that. It doesn't really give me a bigger picture as to Luffy's wildness or hunting for food or whatever. It certainly doesn't really make me feel any more emotionally attached to Luffy than I already was and in the end we already got most of the taste of his development through small quips like Garp throwing him into the woods tied to a balloon way back in Water 7. Either way, even if that flashback wasn't there, nobody would be asking "why does Luffy never think things through?"
You can have great backstories that go in line with the plot that also shed light on characters. Chopper's is great emotional pull and also explains the main beef against Wapol. Nami's tells where she comes from and her position against Arlong. Alternatively you have really weak back stories like Zoro and Usopp (hm, wasn't this discussion in the Naruto thread?), but regardless of the lack of any real depth to their flashbacks, they're still very colorful characters that add to the cast in a very dynamic manner because of their development throughout the series.
I wouldn't call Usopp's backstory weak. It was just simple compared to the rest but was pretty endearing and explained alot about him.
The villagers thinking about it and why he always yelled the pirates are coming was the perfect compliment to it.
Now that I think about it isn't Yasopp just as bad of a father as Ging? -
RE: Things That You Would Like to See in the Manga
Bellamy getting a full fight and a flashback this arc.
Preferably against Dellinger for the fight part. -
RE: Official Dressrosa Thread
Now that Bastille is out of the picture are the only wild cards let on this arc Manshelly, Burgess, Kanjuro, CP0, Meadows, and Bellamy right?
I'm not missing anyone am I? -
