Hisoka's brief moment of reflection in chapter 405 reveals a few things to us. Among them, the most interesting one, in my opinion, is that he still gets excited about fights. Fights are still what moves him.

I say this because after Hisoka's resurrection, many people theorized about the possibility that he no longer liked fighting as much as he used to, they even said that he would now be a sneaky hunter, that he would kill without the need for a fight, but that was denied in this chapter.

WHAT CHAPTER WAS THIS? I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS, I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO SAY OMG

I just saw this on twitter (X) and HAD to share. I never realized this, just AWESOME

I have an idea for a post and I even started writing it, but I don't have time to finish it😩

I think there is an error(?) in interpretation about Illumi's opinion about having friends

Let's remember that Killua already made it clear that he didn't want and didn't like being a murderer (he commented to Gon about the conversations he had about it with his family and even ran away from home in an act of resistance to the fate to which the family had imposed on him), therefore, Illumi probably only said that "assassins can't have friends" in an attempt to distance Killua from any external influence that would reinforce his dissatisfaction with his reality. Being in contact with the common world would certainly be an additional incentive for Killua to give up his life as an assassin (and we see that this is true, living with Gon really reinforced Killua's opinions).

That said, I believe that Illumi doesn't view friends negatively in general, he would never stay away from the zoldyck family for Hisoka, for example, unlike Killua, who could be influenced by a friend.

In fact, I also think that Killua's rebelliousness could be the reason why Kalluto, the youngest of the family, knew about nen, but Killua didn't. And this could also explain why Illumi ignored Killua's wishes, going so far as to say he shouldn't have any, expecting him to be a "puppet", but no one in the family seems to mind Kalluto joining the Troupe on his own, although Silva has instructed everyone to stay away from them, and he doesn't care that Milluki has interests linked to technology and erotic dolls to the point that he doesn't do the basics that a killer should do: leave the house and kill.

Of course they are not as important as the prodigy, but they are not as rebellious either, with them there is no reason to worry because, despite everything, they seem to remain faithful to the family.

Brazil is blocking Twitter. I won't be able to see Togashi's daily posts, except here

All because Elon Musk doesn't want to block criminal accounts and appoint an X representative in Brazil

fuck you Elon Musk

[byah-freecs]

Brazil was incredible against Spain in women's football today 🔥🔥 we will face the USA in the final

in basketball we were crushed by the USA, however (this was already expected by the Brazilians themselves lol)

Apparently very unpopular opinion: I don't think Gon will be a short adult, independent of Ging, because it doesn't suit his character

Or rather, it doesn't correspond to my interpretation of the character, perhaps it corresponds to yours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[byah-freecs]

Gon has always been good at using the environment in his strategies, on the other hand, one of his weaknesses was not paying attention to his opponent's movements.

For example, on the airship, when he and Killua tried to steal the ball from Netero, Gon didn't realize that Netero hadn't even used his right hand and left leg

In the battle against Hisoka, in the celestial tower, Gon did not realize that Hisoka had not left the place until he revealed this

He only noticed the movements when noticing it was part of his plan (for example, when he went to steal Hisoka's tag, observing the movement was essential. Or even in the celestial tower, against the guy in the wheelchair) otherwise, he wouldn't noticed.

However, he improved it!! Perhaps because of his training and experience, during the fight against the bat and the owl, Gon was able to beat them by noticing their movement pattern (always in sync, so if one was on the left side, the other would be on the right side)

[byah-freecs]

Kalluto would get along with Gon because he is similar to him. They never really talked, it's a shame.

I say they are similar because I was rewatching episode 97 of hxh, in which the troupe goes to defend the meteor city from the chimera ants, and Kalluto seemed to be dedicating himself to getting stronger and recovering his brother (Killua, probably). He says things like “I’m still very weak”, “I’m still inferior to all of them”, and “I need to do everything I can to get my brother back”. (I watched it in portuguese so maybe it's a little different in english, you might not remember these words because I made a literal translation).

Anyway, you see? Gon also felt weak many times along his path and worked hard to become stronger and find Ging.

Despite being an assassin, Kalluto seems to have that feeling of camaraderie that Gon shows he values several times in the series, he proposes helping Feitan defeat Zazan ("shouldn't we help him?"), he even got a little indignant when the troupe's response was "if Feitan loses, the next one will go".

They are both trying hard to reach someone and that's why I think they would understand each other.

About Gon and Gyro

Despite the differences in translations, all of them maintains ambiguity regarding Gyro and Gon's eventual meeting, that is, they do not make it clear whether it will be a positive or negative relationship.

This is probably for the purpose of not giving spoilers, as well as increasing readers' curiosity. However, it is also possible that Gyro, at least in his first interactions with Gon, does not present himself as an enemy to be fought.

Considering that Gyro was known and admired among his subordinates, it is possible that he did not reveal his real intentions to them, so it would make sense if he did not reveal them to Gon as well. On the contrary, in principle he can contribute to Gon's character, be it his mentality or his growth in power (I imagine there would be some cruel and selfish interest behind these actions, of course).

Off topic: Nanika's powers are also very convenient for Gyro's plans...

I really like this dialogue because it is very interesting to see the interaction of two transmuters. They leave intentions between the lines.

It was basically like this:

Killua: "Join us!!" --> I know you probably lied and are hiding something so I'm going to take advantage of you not realizing it yet to discreetly keep an eye on you

And Hisoka, instead of just rejecting the seemingly simple invitation, says:

Hisoka: "You're going back to collecting cards, right? I'm not interested. If you need me, call me using *name of a card* and I'll come to you using *name of another card*" as if to say --> I know you know. I've always been one step ahead of you, boy

I think Shizuku is a little scary.

Well, look, she's cute if you don't think about it, but when you remember that she uses a vacuum cleaner to suck up blood and dead bodies or she uses the vacuum cleaner to hit her opponents with so much force that it can cause open fractures in their bodies and even kill them, always with an indifferent expression on her face, she looks a little scary

If the hxh anime where to be produced again (I know this may never happen, and if it does happen it will take a while) do you think it would start from the beginning of the manga?

I know that the most accepted answer is "continue where you left off because they have already made 2 adaptations of the manga" and in a way I agree, but it would be interesting to see the anime with better animation. The 2011 animation is good, I'm not saying otherwise, but depending on the studio that decides to animate it we could have a superior version (especially in the first arcs of the anime, which are not ugly but are clearly inferior to the final arcs).

In fact, a curiosity: the 99 anime ended in 2001 and then 10 years later (2011) we had the second adaptation which ended in 2014, 10 years ago. (Well, actually there are still a few months left until exactly 10 years old, but you get the idea).

I don't think it's essential to start from chapter 1 in the same way that I wouldn't be dissatisfied if they simply continued from what has already been done, I just think about the possibilities.

A negative point of starting from scratch would certainly be the delay in getting to where the 2011 anime left off, but looking at it from the other side considering the pace of posting the manga (which this time could be monthly) it wouldn't be so bad. Episodes longer than the classic 23 minutes we are used to are an alternative to speed up the process, but I can't say what criteria are necessary for this to be done, so I don't know if it's viable, I just know that there are some animes that have episodes of 40 minutes/50 minutes, some reach 1 hour.

Anyway, what do you think about this?

This time I won't have time to check what I wrote so I'm sorry for possible spelling errors.

the "Gon vs Killua" debate is so dishonest because their childhood was like:

Gon: *tastes a different fruit he found on a tree*

Killua: *is left in the celestial tower to fight adults until he reaches floor 200*

Gon: *learns a technique to always win at rock paper scissors*

Killua: *receives high voltage electrical discharges*

Gon: *fishes and roasts the fish on a makeshift fire*

Killua: *gets poisoned*

Gon: *listens to sailor stories*

Killua: *murders a family*

and then for some reason someone thinks this debate is fair, like Gon and Killua are evenly matched. I mean the happy wild child or the trained killer WHO DO YOU THINK WINS

What will be Alluka's fate in HxH?

I mean, even though Nanika is strong (as far as we know, she's invincible), Alluka is an ordinary kid. I'm one of the people who really believes in Killua and Gon returning to the story, not as protagonists, but they will probably join the narrative at some point, but what about Alluka? If she joins, she would be an easy target for any enemy, and Killua wouldn't be able to fight while protecting her. The alternatives I see are Alluka learning to fight, at least a little, or learning to use Nanika without the help of others.

It's important to remember that Illumi wants to control Nanika's powers, so leave her alone or in another place, like Mito's house poor Mito, she would get another child to take care of is not a good idea.

Furthermore, she has a connection with the dark continent, I imagine Togashi has plans for her. I wonder what they are

If we search for "Hisoka's height" on Google, all the sites will say that he is 187 cm, but in the manga, everyone who was looking for Hisoka said that he would be a man with 190 cm and when he was found it was evident that he is much larger than most people.

This means that all this time we thought Hisoka was shorter than he really is.

Seriously look at this, he didn't look that tall in the anime
