#Welfin Hunter X Hunter

[maxriderg]

In honor of Xander Mobus' 31st Birthday, I got this and welp, let's get ready to celebrate his Birthday, complete with this and welp, have a Happy 31st Birthday to him!

I think it's a condemnation of your wolfman design if he's running around in a thong+athletic cup and you routinely frame shots so that this fact is front and center and I'm "whatever" about it.

[i-heart-hxh]

does ikalgo have deeper significance to killua's character? i get that hes like a new friend for killua but why does it feel like he was portrayed so importantly to killua's character during caa? its like theres a deeper meaning, why did killua go out his way just to save ikalgo from those two chimera ants when they entered the building? and why did he look so hesitant? he had thoughts that said "what am i doing..? why the hell am i going the opposite direction?" or something like that. idk it just feels like togashi was implying something abt killua there but i cant figure out what that is. do u have an idea?

Hello! This is a great question!

Ikalgo's friendship with Killua is vital both to Killua's development and also to Chimera Ant arc as a whole! I can explain that significance.

Throughout much of the series, Killua tags along with Gon and primarily focuses on him. He befriends other people, certainly, but he generally does this through Gon--it's not like he's going out of his way to make these friends on his own.

In Chimera Ant Arc, the connection between Gon and Killua gets somewhat disrupted by the events that happen, and Gon's focus shifts primarily to saving Kite and his revenge on Pitou, leaving Killua to worry and feel somewhat left behind and helpless (partly as a result of the the Palm situation as well).

When Killua splits off from Gon to try and save civilians, he meets and a battles an enemy at the time, Ikalgo.

During their fight, Killua gives Ikalgo a choice: Either sell out his friends by revealing their nen powers, or die. Ikalgo chooses to die rather than betraying his friends, and Killua is able to relate to this loyalty. He spare's Ikalgo's life and tells Ikalgo that if they'd met another way, maybe they could have been friends.

Killua's kindness in empathizing with Ikalgo and sparing him is the only thing that saves his life later when he's bleeding out from the needlefish darts. Had Killua not extended that mercy and said those kind words to Ikalgo, Ikalgo would not have saved him, and he would have died.

It's interesting/neat how the scene right after Ikalgo saving Killua from the needlefish involves Gon having his own encounter with another friendly Chimera Ant, and the tone of their conversation is quite a bit different:

Contrast is so important in Chimera Ant Arc!

Anyway, when Killua shows Ikalgo mercy, makes it clear that they're friends now, and invites him to come along and be part of the human side of the war, he essentially becomes to Ikalgo what Gon has been to him: Someone who represents light, and who represents a path forward to a better life. In this arc, Killua worries that he doesn't deserve a place at Gon's side, but at the same time here he extends the same kind of light and hope that Gon gave him to someone else.

As for the scene where Killua breaks off away from Gon in the Palace Invasion in order to protect Ikalgo, this continues to show Killua's world expanding outside of Gon. Notice how in this page, it clearly shows Killua leaving Gon behind--they have their backs to each other, which is a frequent image in this arc. His mission was to protect Gon and make sure Gon could complete his revenge against Pitou, so deviating from that mission is both shocking to him, and potentially dangerous, but it shows that he's starting to protect and care for others as well as Gon.

Now, I want to be clear that I see this as a positive step for Killua. At this point in the series, Killua had made Gon his entire reason for living, essentially, and him going outside of that and making other friends and protecting and caring about them is a vital step for his character. It's showing that he's becoming a more expansive, mature person who can care for multiple people (or ants) at once rather than centering his entire existence and sense of self around one person. He made this action as quickly and efficiently as possible so he could get back to Gon's side, but he did go out of his way and leave Gon behind momentarily, and even he is surprised by this.

And while obviously I adore his nearly single-minded love and devotion for Gon, with what happens between them in this arc he needs to have others in his life besides Gon, and it's part of his transition into also being the light for Alluka and Nanika. It's a result of Killua's own innate kindness and empathy and the choice he made to leave his previous life behind, but also, he was able to reach this point partly because Gon showed him the love and encouragement he needed to become the person he is.

Now, as for Ikalgo's role in the arc as a whole: He's part of a chain of kindness and mercy that ends up changing the entire outcome of the Chimera Ant arc. This post puts it incredibly well. The chain of kindness started at the beginning of the series, with Gon befriending and rescuing Killua in spite of his background, which then eventually leads to Killua sparing Ikalgo (who then saves Killua right back), and then Ikalgo sparing Welfin, and then Welfin giving Meruem Komugi's name so that they got to be together in the end. Ikalgo shows the consequences of Killua's kindness, which are also the consequences of Gon's kindness, in part.

A major theme of the series and of Chimera Ant arc is that love and kindness are transformative, and Ikalgo has such an important role in demonstrating that theme.

Hunter x Hunter: Ants vs Spiders

funny little thing i put together this morning

a list of crimes of the chimera ants and the phantom troupe.

the ants collectively: over 100,000 bodies of random innocent people.

granted, women and children were spared on principle but there were exceptions.

tearing families apart and attempted mass trafficking

butchered them (probably alive) into literal human meatballs and fed to the queen

pt collectively: at least 300 bodies that we've seen on screen. max 1500 lifetime.

tortured families, leave "no" survivors

have a complicated relationship with humanity, which lets them kill callously

choose their conflicts and dont hold back

individual scores. excluding charges of mass murder and murder.

ants individual:

rammot: traumatized children

yunju: SLAVERY. HARD STOP.

pitou: live lobotomy, corpse desecration

meruem: friendly fire, attempted cannibalism

leol: psychological warfare

zazan: mass enslavement, dehumanization

meleoron: friendly fire

ortho siblings: (indirectly) cannibalism

cheetu: being a bitch

pouf: we all know what pouf did

welfin: friendly fire, conspiracy

pt individual (as seen on screen) (excluding theft)

chrollo: verbal manipulation multiple counts

nobunaga: kidnapping

feitan: gruesome torture/threats on multiple counts

hisoka: we all know what he did

shalnark: mass manipulation

pakunoda: invasion of privacy

uvogin: cannibalism

kortopi: doxxing

youpi fr the only guy who really didnt do anything heinous other than mass property damage. his hands are clean and i didnt notice until now.

[edit: unless you count a single count of mutilation on shoot and even then it wasn't permanent]

[ninthprime]

happy the new mcp is up so i can just say that the ikalgo/welfin confrontation is a contender for my favorite scene in hunter x hunter. batshit combination of “wolf in speedo puts centipedes in the head of an octopus who wishes he was a squid” and “man confesses his violent childhood trauma and vaguely romantic love for his king in a way that makes him feel emotionally fulfilled for the first time in his life.” and this is all incredibly moving for me somehow.

also results in one of my favorite out of context hxh screencaps

people who have never read hunter x hunter tell me what you think it’s about from this screenshot etc etc

Chapter 403 Thoughts

Here are my thoughts on Chapter 403 of Hunter x Hunter, “Results”.

Intertextuality

I’m always surprised by the amount of intertextuality in the Succession Arc.

I’ve never really seen a shonen manga that makes "highbrow" references like this (for Anime, only Sonny Boy comes to mind). By highbrow, I mean media that is considered part of a more “serious” or “adult” culture. It’s just one of the ways I think Togashi is pushing the boundaries of shonen and knocking on the door of something more.

Halkenburg’s Illness

It seems Halkenburg’s illness is not the result of Balsamilco’s poison. He simply fainted after transferring his soul to Balsamilco’s body, entering a state similar to Sumidori.

Balsaburg is lying to Benjamin here, but it's sort of a half-truth. Technically, Halkenburg's condition is a result of his ability, just not in the way he described. (I also want to mention that Benjamin falsely believes Halkenburg is faking his illness to postpone the trial. This is yet another instance of a character coming to a reasonable but incorrect conclusion due to asymmetrical information. In my opinion, this is very difficult thing to write. Togashi has been doing it consistently since Welfin!)

However, the question still remains: how is Halkenburg going to die if he isn’t poisoned? Not to mention, how was he able to make sure his own soul was transferred into Balsamilco instead of someone else’s? There’s still a lot we don’t know about Halkenburg’s ability.

Unma is Halkenburg’s Biological Mother

Unma being Halkenburg’s mother was predicted by some fans. I stayed away from writing about it because it was a theory based solely on visual clues (not unlike the Sheila=Pariston theory), but I always accepted it as a possibility. Mostly, I’m just excited we are getting more characterization for the queens, who I think will play an increasingly important role in the Succession Contest.

Unma in particular has an imposing appearance and looks to be crazy tall!

Is it just me or is she almost twice the height of that maidservant?!

Nen Lessons

I’m also keeping an eye out for Sarahell, Camilla’s guard, who is planning on cursing Woble very soon!

Shoutouts to the Welfin spy thriller arc of Hunter X Hunter it's great
