      Honestly the Chimera Ant arc could be considered a separate anime all by itself, I think it was like 50 ep long or so. Granted without the background on gon and killua, it wouldnt be as impactful but still good overall. Honestly though, the signs that Gon would change have been around for since the battle tower arc (tower of heaven arc?) but his story could be metaphor about how life experiences can turn a good natured person in a monster but idk I could be reading too much into it.

    I love this as sort of the opposite case of the "All it takes is one bad day" motif of The Killing Joke used to contextualize how they Joker became the Joker. Instead it's "All it takes is one person to show you kindness" and then you can pass that along to someone else and make a positive change on their lives.

      Yu yu Hakusho is almost as in depth as Hunter x Hunter. Even the villains despite them doing evil things you actually feel sympathy for them by the end of things. You realize deep down they're really not all that evil.
      Every single character develops so well in that anime as well as Hunter x Hunter. I think if people look at Hunter x Hunter more closely it shows the dark side of humans but also, the clear good side of humans too.

      And it's not a good rebuttal at all. HxH IS cynical and nihilistic. Also wrong since ep. 123 is told from Welfin's POV and that is one of the best episodes of the series, probably the best out of those 4.
      Ikalgo isn't a pacifist, he's a coward and a hypocrite since his ability manipulates corpses but he doesn't have the guts to actually kill anyone, that's the point of it.
      His point about Killua is also wrong and undone in CA, friendship isn't good in HxH, it's complicated as it is in real life. The same thing can be said about family, and Killua's arc relates to both.

      I wouldn't say nihilistic. Although it presents those themes and characters it doesn't really commit to say that's the way the world is. Cynical I can get as well given how they show nobody is perfectly good but they show also show that not everyone is percrctly bad. On top of that it presents all characters as completely round and dynamic. Although there are a couple exceptions to having a dynamic character. But those might change with time.
      Perhaps the best way to describe it is 'realistic'? I know it's not as satisfying but I can't think of a better word.

HXH is one of the best shows for making the protagonists not what the universe solely revolved around, and shows other character arcs. Just like in real life one small thing can effect so much and HXH nails the real life aspect of that perfectly.

      HxH was never really about the protagonists at any point past maybe the exam arc. It’s a show about people, just living their lives in a crazy world, and while certain characters tend to get more screen time than others, every character gets the same amount of depth, despite there being so many. That’s one of the reasons I object to the common criticism “HxH has a mediocre protag.” Yes he’s mediocre, that’s the point. Gon isn’t special in any way, there’s nothing he has that nobody else has, because he’s just one person out of many.

  • @chrisallyn9007
    @chrisallyn9007 5 лет назад +97

    The idea of one persons compassion turning someone’s life around is actually explored during the greed island arc, first slightly with Binolt the serial killer, when Gon lets him go, but further explored with razor, when he talks about Ging seeing him as a person, and going so far as to say that when Ging says “I’m counting on you, Razor” that it was as if it was the first time someone had ever truly used his name. Togashi is an incredible mangaka and when you rewatch it, you really start to understand that he really knows what he wants to do, and never shoehorns anything in. Hell, even nen beasts are a part of greed island, with the nen exorcist. This show is fantastic.

    This really shows, that the Chimera Ants arc was about humanity. You got to see the good and the bad. Chimera Ants might be a different species, but most of them gained human reason. You got to see humans and ants develop into something worse or something better. Despite this being one of the darkest arcs, I genuinely believed that the ending with Meruem and most of the other showed that this arc was more optimistic than pessimistic.

    An important note when it comes to the visuals with this theme. At one point, in a particular show of Gon’s kindness to Killua, Gon is shown (from Killua’s perspective) with a golden light behind him. And this exact same visual is used when Ikalgo looks at Killua. It is literally Killua becoming to Ikalgo and Gon was to Killua.

    Hello!
    I'd just like to say thanks for sharing this kind of analytical videos. The first vid you made that I'd watched was "Who was Chrollo Lucilfer," and that was the most on-point analysis of Chrollo that I've listened to that I downloaded and rewatched it now and then. His character was one of the most enigmatic characters I've known and I was having a hard time grasping the reasons behind his behavior, so as an aspiring writer, it was very insightful. I'm a huge HxH fan (since elementary) and I've watched the anime countless times, but I've never noticed the things that you've explained that it made me appreciate the work even more. Not only I've realized the effort Togashi-san had poured in making the story, I've also learned how to integrate some of the important traits you mentioned when creating my own characters. I thought that it'll be limited to your HxH vids, but alas, even your FMAB and Psycho-Pass vids taught me how to build effective and unique villians and settings. Your perceptions changed the way I see not only the animes I watch, but also how I should see humanity through a writer's eyes.
    I'm often intimidated by lectures and articles tackling psychological and social issues because of the complicated explanation they contain, but you made the analyses easy to understand even for the slow learners like me in your works. In more ways than one, you are helping many aspirants to establish believable and efficient fictional characters, and you made it even better by inserting philosophical points which would take some time for busy artists (like me) to research and learn. All in all, thank you for the effort and time sharing your insights in these vids, and we're all hoping to watch more!

I only mention this because you said that they’ve been and continue to be very valuable and you hope to see more, so I figured I’d be frank and tell you that the long-term future of the channel (let’s say, a year from now) is rather uncertain.

    I love how you can make seemingly small and irrelevant story lines into such grandiose and beautiful stories just by analyzing the actual story, which is important, because the reason I can believe your epic stories is because I also read them and know they are true.

    Aleczandxr I love how you find these narratives and break them down! Even though I don’t really gravitate to Ikalgo, Welfin, & the others’ stories, (because they’re minor characters who I don’t relate to / feel invested in), it’s cool to see how Togashi recycles certain themes in his writing! Great stuff as always!

    I knew what you we're gonna talk about right from the start . Although I kinda missed it in HxH . its a great plotpoint I remmember from Kingdom . Shika's adopted parent told her this in his dying breath : 'It doesn't matter how small it is...Pass on the kindness you have been dealt to the next person.That's how it all works .By doing that people become connected to each other' .

  • @JapanFreak2595
    @JapanFreak2595 5 лет назад

    It really touches my heart to see you give these wonderful moments their dues. The kind of moments that make me tell people that HxH is not only a fantastic anime and manga, but a marvelous work of fiction period.
    This is precisely why Togashi is one of my favorite creators and inspirations. He puts his characters through just the most arduous, disturbing, and down right depressing of challenges imaginable, yet despite all the trauma, they still see the light at the end of tunnel. He captures the evolving nature of the human experience, where nothing ever stays in either light or darkness. That life is so much more beautiful when put through hardship.
    A lot of these moments for me really harkens back to the Chapter Black Arc in YuYu Hakusho. Where Kuwabara shows compassion for one the Sensui Seven who later becomes an alley for the rest of the arc. Nearly all of the Sensui Seven (psychics recruited by Sensui for the uninitiated) begin as nihilistic followers who want to see the end of humanity, find new purpose in their lives and move forward by seizing that light.
    One could even say that Togashi built upon these ideas of kindness further in HxH, as it is much more fully realized in through out the series.

  • @mitrey1551

    Good timing for the video. I just rewatched the episode 136 earlier today. It really is beautiful and i also had to think about this thematic connection of what i called the "the light" instead of "torch". I also liked, that the episode closed the chimera ant arc nicely where it had started.

  • @Pokemonleafmon
    @Pokemonleafmon 5 лет назад +12

    I love how something so generic and simple like the death of Reina and her brother actually served as a massive emotional backbone to so much of the arc.
    Colt served as essentially the main character for a good portion of it for me and then of course there is everything that happened with Reina.
    HxH really made me care about such simple characters that would have been entirely pointless and forgettable in any other show.

  • @glorioustigereye

    I love the idea that everyone on earth could be a part of a gain chain of kindness we pass from person to person. We might never know who passed it to our predecessor and we might never know who our successor would pass it to. I love to have a narrative thread like that in my writing.
