People have not read "REAL" by Takehiko Inoue for a mature manga.

And people have not read "Deadman Wonderland" by Jinsei Kataoka for a dark manga.

I do think the manga's style is slightly gimmicky art wise nowadays but that's it's appeal I guess... Still awesome no doubt.

Not much to comment here aside from the obvious, but things are moving fast. Illumi and Hisoka definitely has an Ace up their sleeves and it seems like that they're just slow playing their cards right now. Can't wait.

It's really amazing just how Togashi is capable of creating a messy but utterly tight story.

After reading 150 chapters in a few days and catching up with the story it feels like the art has turned more solid and doesn't bother me at all anymore.

Earlier on there was pages like this mixed in that made me feel like I was reading rough drafts or something.

Yeah, Togashi is really lazy sometimes. Read it for the story.

The chapter was a bit confusing at times, but overall pretty good. This is a pretty awesome chase, and you really can't hate any of the characters involved. Even Illumi is pretty cool.

Yeah the end of the Greed Island arc was rough.

not much of a chase at all imo. illumni already lost the moment he tried to elicit the help of humans with his needles. worst of all he's hunting a guy who's going to a hospital NEXT to the hunter association. ding ding ding, leorio comes in to help along with who knows.
humans vs a hospital full of hunters capable of giving the king ant a run for his money, conclusion? illumni is fucked.

Except it's Illumi. We have absolutely no idea how powerful he is, and considering he scared the shit out of Hisoka 3-4 chapters ago, that should mean he's pulling some serious weight. I honestly can't recall Hisoka ever backing down as quickly or as chastised as he did there.

Illumi is probably godly strong (,strong as a 12 Zodiac-level?) but the Zoldiac family still thinks Killua has more potential so I dunno man. And I think Hisoka is still closely on par with Illumi, he just doesn't want to fight a "friend". And when it comes to Illumi and his little brother, things are different aswell, he'll really f you up. Even so I dunno.

YES HxH music very very good. Here's an example.

That's quite a rash generalization don't you think? It's quite obvious Illumi and Hisoka have a plan of their own. God knows why Illumi sent Hisoka after the fake blimps even though they know which ones are fake. I'm pretty sure Illumi is also aware that Killua knows some of his nen abilities, with "Needle Humans" being one of them. If the butlers can one-up Killua and are able to estimate and beat him to his destination, it's hard to imagine Illumi being anything less than that mental level.

I wouldn't say Hisoka was scared at all. He is just a compulsive liar, and the move of provoking Illumi was just to let Killua notice Illumi's existence. He mentioned himself (in his head), that he would like Gon to be saved.

[image loading]

Both Illumi and Hisoka have mutual respect for each other, and it's apparent that they do not want to fight each other if possible, but if it really comes down to it, I'm sure they won't be "scared" of each other.

As an example, during the Hunter exam, this is where Hisoka got Illumi to back down.

This was emphasized even more in the anime version. @11minutes

I'm going to say if we only compare battle abilities (which is the most if not the only thing Hisoka cares about), Illumi and Hisoka are definitely on par or even stronger than certain Zodiac members.

Ive definitely come to like Illumi a lot more recently. He was just a creepy feminine sounding dude in the beginning, but right now hes probably the strongest Manipulator nen user in the series. Shalnark is probably pretty decent, but hes more of an information gatherer for the Ryodan. Illumi's Manipulation skills are all for assassination, hes pretty bad ass. His weird way of showing older brotherly love to Killua is kinda interesting too.

Kinda sad tho, I cant think of any super powerful Conjuration nen users. Shizuku is pretty strong but I didnt think she was that impressive. We got super strong Enhancers like Gon and Uvogin, Transmuters like Zeno Silva and Hisoka, Emitters like Franklin and Razor, Manipulators like Illumi and Shalnark, Specialization users like Chrollo and Kurapika. No Conjurors come to mind though

Gensuru (the bomber) was a conjuration type. Kurapika is technically a conjuration type as well, but can "upgrade" to specialization when his eyes turn red; his chain is conjured. The same could be said of Kuroro, since he's using nen to conjure the book first.

Nefelpitou is the strongest manipulation Nen user especially because his best ability is using manipulation as a steroid powerup on himself by making himself a puppet, and I think Morau the smoke user also uses manipulation.

I am very disappointed in the new hxh. The heart that killua ripped was quickly rapped with a hanky??? wtf is that. He didnt even crush it like he did in the old anime. I AM DISAPPOINT.

Well i find it kinda funny that he left his heart in his hand but yea that looked more like testicles than heart lol. They shouldnt use bag or w/e they used to wrap the heart.

The bag was a piece of the shirt. It actually made sense, not some random bag he had.

We have to understand the anime is being broadcast at 10am in japan, it's meant to be for kids. I'm happy the scene wasn't completely removed, we still have the idea he is a badass.

Isn't Pitou a Specialization type? Still, he most likely branched out from Manipulation.

Anyways, in terms of nen quality, Illumi's control over the target is the best among the Manipulation types. Shalnark can only control one and it must be controlled with his phone. Pitou's control over his target is reactionary at best. Even Morau, who's not a Manipulation type, has better control over his smoke dolls than Pitou's dolls. Illumi's control not only increases the victim's abilities, but has practically no restrictions.

Maybe in terms of physical strength, Pitou is stronger, but Illumi's technique is far more polished. Given the ants' inexperience a nen expert will win against a royal guard (Knuckle almost took one down).

I have always thought More is a Manipulator, and one of the best Manipulators there is. His deep purple is just phucking awesome and versatile, even the name is cool.

Yeah Neferpitou was Specialization, but his/her techniques were pretty heavily Manipulation with all the zombies and whatnot.

Im pretty sure Morel/More/Morau is a Manipulation nen user. Manipulation involves not only the manipulation of living beings but also of objects. Instead of focusing his manipulation on people, he manipulates smoke. I forgot about him, the smoke manipulation is pretty badass. Still, not as sick as Illumi's techniques tho imo.

Bomber was a pretty good Conjurer, but I don't have any doubt that if Hisoka or Razor could have smacked him around like a bitch if they fought him.


About the anime, I felt the general feeling of the Killua heart snatching was done better than the original, but it was anti-climactic having it wrapped in the dudes shirt and not being crushed in the end.

The new chapter is out. Pretty awesome it's funny how now I'm more looking forward to HxH then One Piece, but it's just so good. I like how he is advancing both storyline angles, but Hisoka is like an archon, power overwhelming.
