Phinks and Nobunaga arguing about which nen category was used reminds me of how fans usually are like when they also argue about nen types of certain abilities. Really great to see Togashi showed that these characters are just like us.
@@Hhuityxcd Yup and then Nobunaga calling him an idiot for thinking it might be specialization. Like man, it feels like sometimes I act like Nobunaga in certain discussions about Nen haha
The scary part about this saga, is that there isn't really anyone that has to survive. The closest to that in my eyes is Kurapika, but even if he died, the story would just keep going.
@@subarashii95 But he could, and it wouldn't just be a drop of a story that is unfinished. It's not the same as if he killed God during Greed Island or Kurapika during York New City. Killing Hisoka now is more like when he killed Kite or Netero!
Absolutely bud, even the troop are not wading in carelessly. Shows the level of depth to Nen combat. lol imagine the Akatsuki tiptoeing around the leaf village it just dosent seem right haha.
Those guys are gonna be dropped hisoksa nobo and feitan showed how brokenly fast they are and have things like “ken” at high levels were no nobody is breaking through…. Nobonaga being alone is more hisoka bait then any of these mafia people… remember what uvo did to the last mafia group…. Gruesome
I don't see Hinrigh as a GOOD GUY, he's just incredibly loyal to his family which is why I'm interested in his character. What happens when he has to go against The Spiders for the sake of his family after earning their trust? Will he hesitate or not? He's a character Togashi can really use to subvert our expectations.
you have a point here. but as we know. hinrigh idolized the troupe. id say it would be like a 1 percent chance to happen that hinrigh will fight against the troupe.
I also just love it when protagonists have ZERO plot armor. Yes, Togashi kills recklessly anyway, but still…any mistake these dudes make could be the last we ever see of them. Perfect tension.
Also always good fun when Feitan speaks. He was supposed to not speak the same native language as the rest of the people in this story which is not really shown in the 2011 anime but is in the 1999 anime and in the manga including this chapter’s broken sentences. He was effectively mute in the flashback which makes sense given he probably was not able to communicate very well. Makes the concept of fan dubbing even more touching. In this tiny group of poverty stricken kids who cannot even interact well with media and each other due to lack of educational opportunities, they came together to dub a show :)
@@fcme10 I love how people are acting like Hisoka is some unstoppable force. The troupe still has a chance against him. They're not some low level nen scrubs.
@@zeppeligyro9914 well his versatility is nothing to scoff at, but in terms of pure strength, morel is pretty low in nen terms. Im sure he's physically strong
What is to say Hinrigh is not on Morels level? As versatile as Morel is he still uses his most inefficient category to make his ability work, although restrictions are in place to increase he's potency it still costs him alot of aura, whilst Hinrigh's ability is just as versatile while he utilizes his most efficient affinity. On top of that he doesnt have to worry about any worrisome restrictions. Id say hes on the same level if not better than Morel.
I’ve noticed that Togashi’s storytelling has become more cerebral and thorough in revealing characters’ thought processes. Although, he doesn’t cherry pick the scenarios anymore, which can be trivial at times. During the pre-Chimera Ant Arc and during the arc itself, the battle psyche and fighter philosophies of the characters with those paragraphs going through the thoughts and feelings of characters were really fascinating. They weren’t like mystery-story reflections or problem-solving like in Death Note that showed how clever the storytelling was, but for Togashi it’s more of introspection and true omniscience of what he’s allowing his readers to access, like a behind-the-scenes look of how Togashi is weaving the story internally and as shown on the panels.
Phinx talks about Specialzation just like we Fans do. As if it's not its own thing but only mimics all the other Types. If he were to see someone just summon Armor that boost Body-Strength, he'd say "This is clearly Enhancement + Cojuration... OR Specialzation."
Togashi makes things as human and real within the confines of an anime 😂. Seeing Phinks being wrong in his thought process is awesome to me. I dont want to see the classic know-it-all thought process of some antagonist. This makes it all the more real.
what a time to be a hxh fan....and theres even rumours of Vagabond returning...I guess Togashi returning inspired Inoue to finish his manga and get out of hiatus as well
I read berserk this year, two weeks after, berserk comeback was announced, I read hxh this year then hxh came back, I read vagabond this year and there is rumours of vagabond coming back. this is starting to get strange👀
There’s a lot of nen defences like ken and there earth shattering speed etc .. remember netero playing with gon x killua. When the gap is large it’s hard. Phinks is just wary how strong they could be in massive group… feitan and nobo we’re w/e trap shamp
11:38 I like to think that Togashi was entering the room killing the staff member bevor he could spoiler anything 😂😂 After thinking and joking about it i got an idea.

The flashback lionized the Troupe so much more in my eyes. Yes, their reasons are noble, but they still did everything they did. They still killed a lot of people and caused a lot of unreversable damage. Their story is tragic, several children losing their innocence and feeling forced to become the thing that stole their innocence in the first place. After all, have the Troupe ever been shy about taking credit?
imagine... this. they open a door and found hisoka. and then hisoka says hinrigh : what are you fucking doing here? Hisoka : well,I got bored on the floor 1 so I asked if I can provide help and they accepted me. nobunaga : hey, you know each other? hinrigh : ...
Ngl that could be what happens. Nobunaga is also not suited to deal with bungie gum if his nen ability is using his sword. Cant cut it. But yeah henry(screw his weird spelling) woupd be absolutely stuck in the middle possibly trapped by his desire to end the conflict and move forward with the investigation, or i could see him making it a 3 way fight, as nobunaga and hisoka would hate him for trying to interfere.
I don't think Hinrigh would fit that well into the PT. Personality wise he seems compatible enough but he also trives in a highly structured organization like the mafia, which the PT is anything but
Nobunaga and Hinrigh are an exciting and able pair: brains combined with fighting instinct. I hope their story isn't over that soon. And we have yet to explore Nobunaga's Nen abilites.
I strongly believe that Morena is watching them in that room, remember Kortopi of the spiders? When he creates copies, those copies can be used as EN that's why they able to locate the Squala, and given that Morena is Specialist, she planned all of this, remember that specialists are well calculated persons just like Kurapika and Chrollo.
@@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj I... kinda think a person can be calculating and intelligent, but still make mistakes sometimes. I'm not sure why anyone is assuming that any character in this story just... never screws up. Yes, these are among the types of people who very rarely screw up, but it does happen, because that's sort of just how life and human minds operate.
Damn. What if the way they chop up the bodies is similar to how Sarasa's body was chopped up? Like the reason we got the PT backstory was because there will be a connection to what's happening on the ship.
Some people have speculated that the dude who steps out of the creepy van to smoke in 396 is the tattoo artist working with Tserriednich, so that could be another interesting (and horrifying) connection
To your point at about 4:00 is I agree, i love how even though the audience may know some info, in that fictional world the characters dont. Its beautiful to see there logic at work, to essentially come to the conclusion we were just given
After the the soul destruction that was chapter 397, I really needed a good laugh. While some creepy dark stuff is still in this chapter and surely, most certainly, some very very very dark and horrible things are yet to come in this arc…. Seeing the boys trash talk each other relentlessly in this calm before the storm put a massive smile on my face. :)
I doubt that Togashi is planning on killing them right now. I believe he is setting up the stage for a war amongst the mafia, the spiders and the princes. So I think that he will stop advancing the mafia story and go back to Kurapika to set him on the stage. The arch is probably going to end in a large scale tag battle instead of having separate conflicts resolved in different times.
I love the writing style of Yoshihiro Togashi. I like to get into the characters mind to see & experience how they think. It adds more to the excitement when you’re guessing what a character will do based off an in-depth understanding.
Been such a huge influx of rude people who are spreading headcannon as fact. I swear it's new people who have only read the new chapters. But they'll call you every name in the book while acting smug even though they're literally wrong. My favorite being " Chrollo doesn't give a goddamn fuck about Tseidernich". Here I thought the troupe planned on stealing the valuable cargo from the princes.
I have mad respect for togashi doing this amount of chapters and giving to us that even without drawings there's a story already written. The guys is a Goat
The landmine nen ability is similar to knov ability which create a nen circle in the ground or on the wall. But knov ability was far more powerful and advanced !!
@@MedusaLegend To be fair they don't need to because as they level up their aura will increase aswell they are very capable fighters because morena put them in killing each other and only 21 remained
They aren’t very capable fighters just cuz they killed each other until 21 remained Anyone can kill someone else with the right mentality. Doesn’t mean they are a great fighter
I didn’t expect to like hinreign as much as I do. He’s quite charismatic, and I like the fact he is an intelligent go getter. Him and theta are my favorite characters so far introduced in this arc
hopefully the next couple chapters will showcase nobunaga nen abilities, he is one of the more mysterious abilities when it comes to nen, after all these years i cannot wait for togashi to unravel it, maybe henry's fate gonna end up like sarasa and nobu will once again use some sort of nen technique he only used once in his life or something else, the stage is lit for nobunaga 😎👌
@@kyoukaiten3834 Let's hope not as many enhancer can do that. I think any Nen user can do that as seen with Biskys training. Giving Nobunaga an actual Hatsu would be far better than this.
@@kyoukaiten3834 Being an enhancer does not mean all you can do is hit hard. It’s just that our two biggest examples of enhancers are Gon who is a literal child and Uvogin who was very simple minded. Nobunaga could show us something entirely different.
@@kyoukaiten3834 Togashi just recently introduced dual nen affinities, so Nobunaga could have a unique ability beyond just strengthening his sword. Plus it isn't out of the realm of possibility for him to tap into a nen category that he might not be naturally gifted in. Netero is a pure enhancer yet used Conjuring and Manipulator abilities. The guy who fought Hisoka way back who could make a body double (iirc he used about 3 different nen categories for his ability) was doing so for a LONG periods of time before their fight and before finally fizzling out. Who knows. Nobunaga could have a rare ability he doesn't regularly use because of the physical drawbacks. Also plausible he could have a type of nen contract to boost his abilities.
I'd be very disappointed if Nobunaga dies here. From a story standpoint, if you cut out Greed Island and CA. During York New, Nobunaga was the most visually furious at Kurapika and wanting to find out who the chain user was. He was the first one to find out Kurapikas name after Puka shot him with her memories. If we don't get a Nobunaga/Kurapika meeting I'll have the most massive blue balls.
I’m a bit annoyed the new world review keeps trynna predict that the spiders die from these goons that were just introduced. I believe they get through this with difficulty but end up dying by either Hisoka, kurapika, or maybe even tserreidnich
Honestly it seems very probable that Nobunaga sacrifices himself so Hinrigh doesn’t die - he’s very ride or die, and I imagine valuing his allies very highly. And both of them dying would make for a neat transition to Kurapika…especially if Nobunaga’s corpse is found and they decide to inform Kurapika.
I am SO glad to hear this news! I was really hoping for many more HxH chapters and especially seeing Kurapika return, since he is my favorite character.
After an almost 4 year hiatus, I tried to read the last few chapters but was completely lost. In the end, I reread the whole arc ( from around 340) and this time I decided to make notes so that if/when another long term hiatus happens, I can catch up up a lot quicker. I really enjoyed reading the arc again and it really helped to better understand the dynamics of these new chapters, which I carefully read to ensure I didn't miss anything lol
Ahh like gon uvo ? Silva or Zeno??? Zeno could destroy that whole ship with his true dragon dive.. he busted the castle to rubble, his power is like indoor fish except 10x better
I can't stop to think that Morena's family is like a paradise for Hisoka and he should be alligned with them in an official or unofficial way. And I don't mean it in a idealistic or ethical way, but I mean that with Morena's Contagion is possible to create at will decent Nen Users and among them you can find some gems... and Hisoka is thirsty for strong opponents to fight. So Morena could be the golden eggs factory and Hisoka would want her to survive and propagate her Contagion even more
Nah honestly I think hisoka is done fucking around. After the chrolo fight, he's done playing with his food and is actually out for blood this time. Or not, who really knows lol
@@taylormcdaniel603 what I proposed was not him playing around. Was him discovering Morena's comunity and understand what it rappresents.... A more likely source of people "interesting" for his tastes, so a truly valuable resource for his hobbies

0:20: Liam: One of togahsi’s assistants had confirmed how many more chapters are left. Audience: what is it, 5 ? 10? Me: woo-whoo!! Togashi has more than one assistant. Give that man all the assistants he needs!!!
Such an interesting chapter. What really interests me is the feeling that Nobunaga and Hinrigh are likely walking into the aftermath of something. The rooms is ominously empty, like zero signs of life. They didnt leave anything behind at all which makes me think this isnt just a trap. Also its important to remember we still dont truly know how powerful nobunaga is, we just know he is. So if it comes down to a bloodbath, itd be interesting to see how hed fair.
Hnrigh or whoever that guy is, is basically just giorno, jumping on a trap to help new team mates that he doesn't even know. Not to mention Hnrigh also has Gold Experience
Liam! I think this is your best video across channels on a technical level. Really nailing the delivery without relying on crutches like "mind brain" ;) thank you for your content.
0:49 the flashback is awesome, cap 397 is one of the best chapter ever made. it explain: - chrollo's hatsu = steal nen abilities because he have stolen his entire knowledge and tecnique of crimes, torture and murders from video tapes. - maki's hatsu = reattach and repair body parts, due to the strong desire of reattach and repair sarsa body. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
yep knov was broken, hence why togashi needed to give him that mental handicap, he would've made best/better partener with meleron the lizard, scream and boom goes the king's and the royal guards heads.., togashi is smart man...
Yeah I mentioned this initially that Voconte’s ability is the one transporting them. Everyone seems to have missed that even tho it was revealed on the 6th page. Togashi realized that most of you were confused so he uses Phinks & Nobu perfectly as objective correlatives. Most of the readers for that weeks’s chapter were basically Phinks. Minority of us already had deduced what Nobu thought. Nobu’s facial expression indicates that he’s aware that whoever is creating that room is a worthy nen user. He instantly became hostile. Amazing. Morena likely isn’t on the other side of that door, but Dog Mask. He’s an enhancer, a good matchup for Nobu who has experience dealing with them thanks to Uvo. I have a couple more theories. Let me know what you think.
And also thanks to Nobu being an enhancer himself! Between himself and Uvo, and Phinks to a lesser extent (bc he spent more time with Uvo I think?) he should have a pretty good idea of the range of enhancer abilities
Phinx talks about Specialzation just like we Fans do. As if it's not its own thing but only mimics all the other Types. If he were to see someone just summon Armor that boost Body-Strength, he'd say "This is clearly Enhancement+Cojuration... OR Specialzation."
theory: the reason that Morena shot is there is because.. the rooms are in her head? so she is basically watching them from within? there is a connection between that image and Nobu saying the nen user must be close, with her smilling than makes my think of a mouse maze game..
I like Hinringh a lot. Even when he was first introduced before the hiatus, I loved his Nen ability. Now, I’m loving it even more seeing it in action. Also he isn’t afraid or hands on approach or field work. He is smart, calculating and strong in his own right.
I'd like to offer a perspective on the performance. It's really quite wonderful. Think about what we're watching. It's both a summary combined with explanations, context, analysis and specific detail while at the same time being a hyper-real performance that combines analog and digital actions. I'm not sure what you'd call the formally call the style, a sort-of spoken word and motion performance: hand-motions to convey a plot point, face and body language to convey points with hand motions to add flare to popping up an imagine on screen. This is an art. Think of the advancement: thousands of years ago, the Greeks would perform plays and people would talk about them. Less complex plays, something meant to convey a lesson, minimal plot points, less degree of trying to be overly cleaver, less complexity. People would argue which character should've done this or that, and what not. The early arts. But today we have the impossible: a story first published in 1998 has continued until 2022. There are 398 chapters. The story only grows in readers, with hundreds of hours of reading. The complexity is immense with countless details that all fit together to allow the reader to tease out a little more information, to make plausible guesses about the mysteries and future chapters, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat for that long. It's a form of art that couldn't exist in the past. Looking at it from the historical lens, those of us watching this are watching an artistic evolution that could only exist in this day and age. The performance is free (!), available 24/7, and is performed so well that it's somewhat difficult to even recognize *as* a performance. A performer is making (hopefully) his living by practicing his craft, acknowledging his performance and his skill by way of handling reminders to subscribe, like, recommend a product occasionally without annoying. With the due deference to it's night mandatory requirement before it's on with the show, like a skillful street perform reminding you entertainingly that his hat was available for those satisfied with the performance and then on with the show. This is a post-modern evolution of multiple art forms. Quite wonderful indeed.
Feitan had me chuckle hard gonna give that dude 2 assholes lmao and Nobunaga with Hinrigh is a fun duo to play with but those bathrooms and rooms are rancid straight from Saw plus seeing that editor say there's 30 not 10 more chapters after this batch ends is amazing news
One Minute of silence for Giga Chad Knov who, despite is experience and power - or maybe even exactly because of it, got terrifyied shitless by just touching Pitous En. He was a good man .... and i fucking LOVED to see him in action! All the teleport shit was already cool but when he got out this little piece of teleport matter to teleport that ants HEAD FROM ITS BODY!!!!!!!! that was the shit that made me wet. I would love to see more of him but i assume he is retired or at least doesnt do direct confrontations anymore after the chimera ant trauma.
This is why HXH is imo the best this whole little arc is so freaking important and interesting and the main characters are a new guy from the 3rd mob family and a random phantom troupe member... just wow.

Totally agree Nobunaga and Hinriegh seem to be forming a friendship. I think of how Nobu wanted Gon to join too. Nobunaga just a cool, friendly dude
Just a cool, friendly ruthless murderer dude
I genuinely love Nobunaga and Hinrigh as our pair of protagonists for this section. They have some great energy!

I don’t think the Troupe flashback is totally over. We will liekly get more flashbacks in the future.
Well the childhood part certainly is. If there's more flashbacks they probably will be set around the time of the Kurta massacre

well. maybe because he is an experience nen user. even a newbie nen user can kill an expert nen user depending in the situation.

When he creates copies, those copies can be used as EN that's why they able to locate the Squala, and given that Morena is Specialist, she planned all of this, remember that specialists are well calculated persons just like Kurapika and Chrollo.
The same crolllo that was caught dead to rights and had killua n gon ran he’d be dead?
@@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj I... kinda think a person can be calculating and intelligent, but still make mistakes sometimes. I'm not sure why anyone is assuming that any character in this story just... never screws up. Yes, these are among the types of people who very rarely screw up, but it does happen, because that's sort of just how life and human minds operate.
@@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj I think chrollo let it happen....remember he used the fairytale ability to know what he is to happen during the York Arc
Damn. What if the way they chop up the bodies is similar to how Sarasa's body was chopped up? Like the reason we got the PT backstory was because there will be a connection to what's happening on the ship.
Some people have speculated that the dude who steps out of the creepy van to smoke in 396 is the tattoo artist working with Tserriednich, so that could be another interesting (and horrifying) connection
This chapter is 10/10. I've never wanted to be spooked while reading so badly
so happy that this channel gets to live !! love the reviews and the hxh community
At this rate, Togashi is going to make a HxH character for everyone on earth
To your point at about 4:00 is I agree, i love how even though the audience may know some info, in that fictional world the characters dont. Its beautiful to see there logic at work, to essentially come to the conclusion we were just given
nobunaga is just single since the death of uvo he yearns for a companion lmao
I love how Hinrigh suddenly prone to do a counter, at first i thought he was tripped when teleported then realized he's proning when i saw that knife
After the the soul destruction that was chapter 397, I really needed a good laugh. While some creepy dark stuff is still in this chapter and surely, most certainly, some very very very dark and horrible things are yet to come in this arc…. Seeing the boys trash talk each other relentlessly in this calm before the storm put a massive smile on my face. :)
I doubt that Togashi is planning on killing them right now. I believe he is setting up the stage for a war amongst the mafia, the spiders and the princes. So I think that he will stop advancing the mafia story and go back to Kurapika to set him on the stage. The arch is probably going to end in a large scale tag battle instead of having separate conflicts resolved in different times.
I love the writing style of Yoshihiro Togashi. I like to get into the characters mind to see & experience how they think. It adds more to the excitement when you’re guessing what a character will do based off an in-depth understanding.
With 30 more chapters, we might get to 10mins from now in the story! Love it!
Like Dressrosa Arc in One Piece ,which took 5 years in a 24h event.
Nobunaga and Hinrigh is a good combo 🤔 I also like the dark and sinister atmosphere of this whole New World arc.
Man I don't want anyone to die yet. Everyone's character is so fleshed out right now we could have them at least 100 more chapters :-(
lol i love that you have artists to make those little characters for your videos😂i love the dedication they make the vids entertaining!!
Been such a huge influx of rude people who are spreading headcannon as fact. I swear it's new people who have only read the new chapters.
But they'll call you every name in the book while acting smug even though they're literally wrong. My favorite being " Chrollo doesn't give a goddamn fuck about Tseidernich".
Here I thought the troupe planned on stealing the valuable cargo from the princes.
I have mad respect for togashi doing this amount of chapters and giving to us that even without drawings there's a story already written.
The guys is a Goat
Need to Chrollo and Silva back story
The landmine nen ability is similar to knov ability which create a nen circle in the ground or on the wall.
But knov ability was far more powerful and advanced !!
Morena’s follower don’t know the basics of nen like ten, ren, etc. They just have aura and a hatsu they choosed way too quickly.
@@MedusaLegend To be fair they don't need to because as they level up their aura will increase aswell they are very capable fighters because morena put them in killing each other and only 21 remained
They aren’t very capable fighters just cuz they killed each other until 21 remained
Anyone can kill someone else with the right mentality. Doesn’t mean they are a great fighter
I didn’t expect to like hinreign as much as I do. He’s quite charismatic, and I like the fact he is an intelligent go getter. Him and theta are my favorite characters so far introduced in this arc
So freaking stoked to be able to expect so many new HxH chapters. Wild, this is all I wanted for Xmas
Its always amazing to get to know your perspective on theses chapters because there are so many hidden clues and connections i often miss in there!
Can i just say that Fei is absolutely hilarious! Dude was cracking me up throughout the entire chapter.
YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU LIAM
How is it possible for me to read and comprehend all these info without your video😂Thanks man!!!
Thanks so much for putting videos out early, really helps my morning along!
hopefully the next couple chapters will showcase nobunaga nen abilities, he is one of the more mysterious abilities when it comes to nen, after all these years i cannot wait for togashi to unravel it, maybe henry's fate gonna end up like sarasa and nobu will once again use some sort of nen technique he only used once in his life or something else, the stage is lit for nobunaga 😎👌
He's an enhancer, his ability is just enhancing his sword, with that En circle too...
@@kyoukaiten3834 Let's hope not as many enhancer can do that. I think any Nen user can do that as seen with Biskys training. Giving Nobunaga an actual Hatsu would be far better than this.
@@kyoukaiten3834 Being an enhancer does not mean all you can do is hit hard. It’s just that our two biggest examples of enhancers are Gon who is a literal child and Uvogin who was very simple minded. Nobunaga could show us something entirely different.
@@kyoukaiten3834 Togashi just recently introduced dual nen affinities, so Nobunaga could have a unique ability beyond just strengthening his sword. Plus it isn't out of the realm of possibility for him to tap into a nen category that he might not be naturally gifted in. Netero is a pure enhancer yet used Conjuring and Manipulator abilities. The guy who fought Hisoka way back who could make a body double (iirc he used about 3 different nen categories for his ability) was doing so for a LONG periods of time before their fight and before finally fizzling out. Who knows. Nobunaga could have a rare ability he doesn't regularly use because of the physical drawbacks. Also plausible he could have a type of nen contract to boost his abilities.
who is henry?
I'd be very disappointed if Nobunaga dies here. From a story standpoint, if you cut out Greed Island and CA. During York New, Nobunaga was the most visually furious at Kurapika and wanting to find out who the chain user was. He was the first one to find out Kurapikas name after Puka shot him with her memories. If we don't get a Nobunaga/Kurapika meeting I'll have the most massive blue balls.
I’m a bit annoyed the new world review keeps trynna predict that the spiders die from these goons that were just introduced. I believe they get through this with difficulty but end up dying by either Hisoka, kurapika, or maybe even tserreidnich
@@t.hokage9748 tbh it's not impossible considering how HXH is written. Kite was killed by the Ants remember.
@@Micheal93k he was killed by a royal guard that immediately climbed the top 10 strongest nen users in the verse. I was expecting him to die
Honestly it seems very probable that Nobunaga sacrifices himself so Hinrigh doesn’t die - he’s very ride or die, and I imagine valuing his allies very highly. And both of them dying would make for a neat transition to Kurapika…especially if Nobunaga’s corpse is found and they decide to inform Kurapika.
For the anime watchers only, we need this animated immediately after it's done lol
I am SO glad to hear this news! I was really hoping for many more HxH chapters and especially seeing Kurapika return, since he is my favorite character.
After an almost 4 year hiatus, I tried to read the last few chapters but was completely lost. In the end, I reread the whole arc ( from around 340) and this time I decided to make notes so that if/when another long term hiatus happens, I can catch up up a lot quicker.
I really enjoyed reading the arc again and it really helped to better understand the dynamics of these new chapters, which I carefully read to ensure I didn't miss anything lol
After getting Meruem and Knov, Emission doesn't look bad. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Yeah, it seems like emission is great if you ignore trying to shoot energy blasts
Ahh like gon uvo ? Silva or Zeno??? Zeno could destroy that whole ship with his true dragon dive.. he busted the castle to rubble, his power is like indoor fish except 10x better
Emission was never bad
@@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj weird comparison as they serve vastly different functions
Shooting energy blasts has to be the most basic use of emission possible. Teleporting is way more interesting
I can't stop to think that Morena's family is like a paradise for Hisoka and he should be alligned with them in an official or unofficial way.
And I don't mean it in a idealistic or ethical way, but I mean that with Morena's Contagion is possible to create at will decent Nen Users and among them you can find some gems... and Hisoka is thirsty for strong opponents to fight. So Morena could be the golden eggs factory and Hisoka would want her to survive and propagate her Contagion even more
Nah honestly I think hisoka is done fucking around. After the chrolo fight, he's done playing with his food and is actually out for blood this time. Or not, who really knows lol
@@taylormcdaniel603 what I proposed was not him playing around.
Was him discovering Morena's comunity and understand what it rappresents.... A more likely source of people "interesting" for his tastes, so a truly valuable resource for his hobbies
May I note that these custom-made characters, specifically nobunaga and phinks, really are gorgeous
3:50 I'm really sorry but the more I read hxh, the more I accept I love this manga because of things like that.
I absolutely love Morena, i hope she survives this arc long enough to have a direct showdown with one or two of the princes
Phinx talks about Specialzation just like we Fans do. As if it's not its own thing but only mimics all the other Types.
If he were to see someone just summon Armor that boost Body-Strength, he'd say "This is clearly Enhancement+Cojuration... OR Specialzation."
0:20: Liam: One of togahsi’s assistants had confirmed how many more chapters are left.
Audience: what is it, 5 ? 10?
Me: woo-whoo!! Togashi has more than one assistant. Give that man all the assistants he needs!!!
Such an interesting chapter. What really interests me is the feeling that Nobunaga and Hinrigh are likely walking into the aftermath of something. The rooms is ominously empty, like zero signs of life. They didnt leave anything behind at all which makes me think this isnt just a trap. Also its important to remember we still dont truly know how powerful nobunaga is, we just know he is. So if it comes down to a bloodbath, itd be interesting to see how hed fair.
congrats on 420k subs !
i'm goona call it: chapter 400 is going to end with kurapika showing up in the room with nobunaga suddenly
i loved it when feitan said pick one left or right
Hnrigh or whoever that guy is, is basically just giorno, jumping on a trap to help new team mates that he doesn't even know. Not to mention Hnrigh also has Gold Experience
Feitan being a long lost zoldyck has always been a interesting theroy
Knov truly is a nen monster, his ability was crazy utility AND could insta-kill
I loved the argument between Nobunaga & Phinks. Totally unnecessary but also hilarious and awesome to read each of their POVs
congrats to 420k subs my man. light it up
0:07 the best part of anime
I have been thinking we might not see nobunagas hatsu because he did something similar to kurapika wanting to get revenge for Sarasa
“Neni argument”- Liam 2022😂😂
Liam! I think this is your best video across channels on a technical level. Really nailing the delivery without relying on crutches like "mind brain" ;) thank you for your content.
30?! 4 years ago?!
I'm feeling like Hisoka rn
420k subs, that's about as dank as a nen murder cellar. Cheers to 420k more friend! 🥂
I am just so god damn happy being able to wake up every Sunday and have more Hunter X Hunter ready
Legitimately narcism 😂
0:49 the flashback is awesome, cap 397 is one of the best chapter ever made. it explain:
- chrollo's hatsu = steal nen abilities because he have stolen his entire knowledge and tecnique of crimes, torture and murders from video tapes.
- maki's hatsu = reattach and repair body parts, due to the strong desire of reattach and repair sarsa body.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2:35 Knov did not emit the mansion, he conjured it. He is an emitter-type but the creation of rooms uses conjuration nen.
Nobunaga is running head forward into his death, uvogin would be proud.
yep knov was broken, hence why togashi needed to give him that mental handicap, he would've made best/better partener with meleron the lizard, scream and boom goes the king's and the royal guards heads.., togashi is smart man...
I love this nigga. Coolest voice ever, consistent insight on hxh, and he's daddy
Yeah I mentioned this initially that Voconte’s ability is the one transporting them. Everyone seems to have missed that even tho it was revealed on the 6th page. Togashi realized that most of you were confused so he uses Phinks & Nobu perfectly as objective correlatives. Most of the readers for that weeks’s chapter were basically Phinks. Minority of us already had deduced what Nobu thought. Nobu’s facial expression indicates that he’s aware that whoever is creating that room is a worthy nen user. He instantly became hostile. Amazing. Morena likely isn’t on the other side of that door, but Dog Mask. He’s an enhancer, a good matchup for Nobu who has experience dealing with them thanks to Uvo. I have a couple more theories. Let me know what you think.
And also thanks to Nobu being an enhancer himself!
Between himself and Uvo, and Phinks to a lesser extent (bc he spent more time with Uvo I think?) he should have a pretty good idea of the range of enhancer abilities
Uvo: I love killing people looking for revenge.
The Troupe: °0°
These new chapters have been freaking amazing. Glad we will get a bit more for a little bit.
Love the way big moms children crossed over to HxH
Phinx talks about Specialzation just like we Fans do. As if it's not its own thing but only mimics all the other Types.
If he were to see someone just summon Armor that boost Body-Strength, he'd say "This is clearly Enhancement+Cojuration... OR Specialzation."
3:51 oh my god those faces lmao 🤣
I read HxH for these complex explanations and theory crafting in real time!
30 more chapters? HYPE
theory: the reason that Morena shot is there is because.. the rooms are in her head? so she is basically watching them from within? there is a connection between that image and Nobu saying the nen user must be close, with her smilling than makes my think of a mouse maze game..
Was waiting for your review hahahaha I knew I missed a ton of hidden info
I like Hinringh a lot. Even when he was first introduced before the hiatus, I loved his Nen ability. Now, I’m loving it even more seeing it in action.
Also he isn’t afraid or hands on approach or field work. He is smart, calculating and strong in his own right.
I'd like to offer a perspective on the performance. It's really quite wonderful.
Think about what we're watching. It's both a summary combined with explanations, context, analysis and specific detail while at the same time being a hyper-real performance that combines analog and digital actions. I'm not sure what you'd call the formally call the style, a sort-of spoken word and motion performance: hand-motions to convey a plot point, face and body language to convey points with hand motions to add flare to popping up an imagine on screen. This is an art.
Think of the advancement: thousands of years ago, the Greeks would perform plays and people would talk about them. Less complex plays, something meant to convey a lesson, minimal plot points, less degree of trying to be overly cleaver, less complexity. People would argue which character should've done this or that, and what not. The early arts.
But today we have the impossible: a story first published in 1998 has continued until 2022. There are 398 chapters. The story only grows in readers, with hundreds of hours of reading. The complexity is immense with countless details that all fit together to allow the reader to tease out a little more information, to make plausible guesses about the mysteries and future chapters, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat for that long. It's a form of art that couldn't exist in the past.
Looking at it from the historical lens, those of us watching this are watching an artistic evolution that could only exist in this day and age. The performance is free (!), available 24/7, and is performed so well that it's somewhat difficult to even recognize *as* a performance. A performer is making (hopefully) his living by practicing his craft, acknowledging his performance and his skill by way of handling reminders to subscribe, like, recommend a product occasionally without annoying. With the due deference to it's night mandatory requirement before it's on with the show, like a skillful street perform reminding you entertainingly that his hat was available for those satisfied with the performance and then on with the show.
This is a post-modern evolution of multiple art forms. Quite wonderful indeed.
I just hope Hisoka joins Kurapika and they run crazy through the ship killing all the spiders
Also, what if the room teleports low level nen users to a place and more gifted users to another?
That'd be a nice twist
Feitan had me chuckle hard gonna give that dude 2 assholes lmao and Nobunaga with Hinrigh is a fun duo to play with but those bathrooms and rooms are rancid straight from Saw plus seeing that editor say there's 30 not 10 more chapters after this batch ends is amazing news
I could see Hinrigh joining the troupe especially if Nobunaga dies. He will have proved himself strong. And he is a fan of the troupe
No way Nobunaga dies
One Minute of silence for Giga Chad Knov who, despite is experience and power - or maybe even exactly because of it, got terrifyied shitless by just touching Pitous En. He was a good man .... and i fucking LOVED to see him in action! All the teleport shit was already cool but when he got out this little piece of teleport matter to teleport that ants HEAD FROM ITS BODY!!!!!!!! that was the shit that made me wet. I would love to see more of him but i assume he is retired or at least doesnt do direct confrontations anymore after the chimera ant trauma.
This is why HXH is imo the best this whole little arc is so freaking important and interesting and the main characters are a new guy from the 3rd mob family and a random phantom troupe member... just wow.
First dad to come with milk unlike gon dad
