“A bit of elegance to the king’s court” I like how you put that and also the contrast between the refined Shaiapouf, the playful Pitou, and the lumbering brute Youpi
Origins of the Egyptian halves of the Royal Guard names: -Nefertem was the personification of the first lotus that arose up to Ra out of the primordial sea at the beginning of time, symbolising the emergence of consciousness out of chaos -Sa'a was a divine attendant of Ra that carried a scroll containing all knowledge, symbolising cognition and perception -Montu was also a divine attendant of Ra, at times appearing as an aspect of Ra, whose domain was conquest and war and symbolised the power of the pharaoh (who embodied Ra)
Hey man, i just want you to know your videos really make my day, i know to some people it might be just some reaction channel, but to me its more than that, its great to see your thoughts and you are the only reaction channels whose thoughts actually resonates with me. Hope you are doing well.
I'm curious if you've read the Foundation trilogy by Asimov. (If not, you absolutely should. Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation. There's more in the full series, but that trilogy is a masterpiece, which at one point won an award as the best all-time series.) This is not a spoiler for either Hunter x Hunter or Foundation, but the way hunters think often makes me think of psychohistory. At various times throughout the series, hunters have displayed such a tremendous understanding of others' actions that it allows them to make very specific predictions of how the future will play out. When Netero arranges fights between other hunters (not just here, but all the way back to the tournament at the end of the exam arc), he's so carefully arranging things for the fighters to learn specific lessons and grow in specific ways.
my man Youpi is in the house!!!! such a divine and cosmic creature. i often come back to Youpi's birth scene and all the scenes when the 3 were together. Youpi one of the most EPIC characters. in the manga he is drawn quite differently, and gave me the sensations of something ancient, mystical. In the anime, his designs provide additional layers of innocence, primitivism, and lots more humour. which is also true to him. 🦄🦄
I figure that Biscuit doesn't use Cookie-Chan on them alot so that they harden themselves with rest on their own; you don't want your students becoming over reliant on outside factors.
1:04:58 This is actually smth that I truly appreciate in Togashi's work he's not trying to paint things/characters in an idealistic light, those kind of people and situations exist in real life and TBH reality is way more inconfortable so even though it could be shocking I feel like it's very much needed and shouldn't be avoided as long as ofc it's depicted as bad and not encouraged : he's definitely not implying that Hisoka or Palm should be anyone's role model 😅
That is one of the things I love about Togashi, how he enrichs the world with all kind of characters with their own motivation, ambitions, struggles and lives, that may not be related or relevant to the main characters or plot, but make them really feel authentic and part of a real world. Think of examples like Binolt, the scissors assassin that had a horrible childhood, and developed nen according to his particular trauma, and later feeling somewhat validated as a person and not a freak. His story had nothing to do with the rest of the arc and is so short, but you can certainly feel there are lots of situations happening in the world we may not know from what we seen but we can relate to from real life. Also thinking of Squala, the Nostrade bodyguard, (the dog "trainer" guy) that we learn was trying to get away from mafia and live with Neon's assistan Elize. Such a small thing included in a packed arc like NorthYork, but I certainly feel it made the Scarlet Eyes recovery by spiders a much greated moment , with Pakunoda , also a short-live excellent character. I think anyone else would have written that scene, just showing spiders ambushing and snatching the Eyes without interaction, and that would suffice to server the story progression but the way Togashi depicted it makes the characters feel real, and not dependent of our main character story or arc. And those 2 were not main characters nor would live much longer, so probably anyobody else would not even take the time or effort to add those tiny bits of world and character building at that point.
Very interesting commentary about Pitou and Kite and how she seemed bored and disinterested in Kite bc the experiment was a failure...everything that was Kite is not there anymore and yes it's not hard to guess how Gon will react at this point....cool that he also mentioned Killua's reaction to Kite bc yes Killua was indeed the last person who saw Kite alive SPOILER and yes Killua later says smth like "we did nothing, they did that to us" implying that he himself is deeply shocked by the sight of a tortured and soulless Kite (btw I just realized that Kite is hanged on strings...his movements are actually quite similar to a windswept kite) About Pitou I wonder if maybe her experiment failed bc Kite's soul was already gone to another body and if she could have succeeded in bringing him back maybe by manipulating residual nen or smth... I prefer to think that she couldn't bring him back just bc he was already dead and that's the most logical explanation but another scenario could be actually quite interesting to explore I love those reactions bc it makes me think of new aspects of the stories and new fun theories or scenarios Togashi's work is just that entrancing and limitless
@@brandonjslea1562 I believe coward is a very specific term, but faint of heart could imply more things. It can include coward but also not confident, second guessing to do things because of the unknown implications or ramifications or that they would be too costly or would regret later, and not be able to choose , like a lack of determination to sacrifice something or pay a cost. I think a coward would specifically think that he would likely fail. In the scenario Shoot was, I doubt he thought he would fail to beat them , he just did not had the stomach to carry something he did not like, what it would mean, or thinking its a no-return point, guessing because of his tears.
Always disliked that translation...coward is too negative of a word, 'ki ga yowakatta' : literally weak-hearted/weak-minded is more accurate with a broader interpretation like the comment above said
@@dallama2616 in anime. We never saw how she was born in manga. It’s implied she has already was born, heard her name from queen(otherwise why she knew her name since birth but not Youpi) and then she overheard Peggy and Rammot conversation
The anime inserted the pinky promise *reaction* from Palm, she doesn't react that way in the manga. Every time 2011 HxH deviates from the Manga they end up dropping the ball big time. The reaction to the promise Gon made to get her into NGL and the "date" are different. (He has seen episode 93 already) [Episode 94,95 Spoilers below] Her power told her that going into the woods for a date would allow her on the extermination team. This is because Killua following them into the woods would lead Killua overcoming his mental block, thus being eligible to join the team. Palm is only eligible to join the team if Gon and Killua are eligible.
Agree, I hate what they did with Palm here. While yeah she is insane but she never fall in love with Gon, she just has desire for attention and she expresses that in such a weirdo way. Edit: but I still don’t know where did you get that last part about date. There wasn’t any point to go in ngl anymore. As for Goruto, it’s a different thing
2011 makes deviations that improve upon the manga. Youpi's introduction scene in the manga is 1 page where you just see the back of his head. The scene with Kite getting puppeted is also anime only.
@@therealpat5168 you took it too literally. They improved that scene and more but they also failed many other. And that scene while was expanded not fully original. Those that fully original are meh at best. But even worse when they changed original scene like with Palm in this episode
Are you going to be reacting to Doctor Who again any time soon? It’s been like a year of just HunterXHunter, and you stopped right before some of the best episodes.
@@Jim_The_Fish I have started recording DW vids again, so it won’t be too far off 👌🏼 It’s been vids for just one series for a reason, it’s been specified in the pinned comment for quite some time now. Great username 😁
What does the name Neferpitou mean? The first half of Neferpitou's name probably comes from an Egyptian male deity (the god Nefertem) and the second half probably from the female panther called Pitou (a French children's book series called Caroline et ses Amis.). P.S : That was confirmed by Togashi in an old interview.

ur the only person i look forward to watching on yt. welcome back bro
Was Monster dropped ?
Nearly 70 minute analysis during what many would call the "lull" period of the arc. GOAT!!!!
Exactly.
That many doesn’t realize that without the “lull period” the chimera ant arc overall wouldn’t be as great as it is
“A bit of elegance to the king’s court” I like how you put that and also the contrast between the refined Shaiapouf, the playful Pitou, and the lumbering brute Youpi
Origins of the Egyptian halves of the Royal Guard names:
-Nefertem was the personification of the first lotus that arose up to Ra out of the primordial sea at the beginning of time, symbolising the emergence of consciousness out of chaos
-Sa'a was a divine attendant of Ra that carried a scroll containing all knowledge, symbolising cognition and perception
-Montu was also a divine attendant of Ra, at times appearing as an aspect of Ra, whose domain was conquest and war and symbolised the power of the pharaoh (who embodied Ra)
i like that the other halves are cats from a children's book. symbolizes well who they are, demigods on earth but also born yesterday

The ants siezed the NGL underground faction's technology, clothing, etc. This explains the clothing, violin, jewelry, books etc...
