How can anyone unironically read this garbage. I got to ch 150 by speed reading and had to put the fucking thing down. Its abyssmally bad even for a shounen

How do you "ironically read" anything?
People who think that Yorkshin's ending was bad because it didn't end with an epik battle with Pika and Chrollo are the trash that 2011 brings to the franchise
Kek
Just flip through the pages and read
Thats not the issue, the real issue is expecting Togashi to properly finish this shit. He's gonna get sick of this the same way he got sick of Hakusho and rush a lackluster finale IF he even gets that far.
This is why Greed Island is the best arc
Is this from tv tropes or something?
Yes user
Do you agree or disagree with this?
it's something children say to read something they like, but pretend that it's bad to look cool for other children.
So the Anime is better due to no hiatus?
Also does the final Arc in the ANime feel like a a "Finale" arc or is the conclusion satisfying?
Talk about a shonenfag autist missing the point of every story arc. The only relevant point in all that shit is that Kite should have stayed dead.
Not me user, the one who wrote this, the so-called ''troper.'' I was only wondering what you guys would think.
>So the Anime is better due to no hiatus?
Something like that, according to them.
>Also does the final Arc in the ANime feel like a a "Finale" arc or is the conclusion satisfying?
Some people are wondering about this.
That...wasn't very helpful.
Nice bait
Sorry user, I'm a fool. I don't how I can answer your question.
Another thing, seems like the setting jumps from medieval society to modern one and then back all the time.
Its retarded
Togashi literally can't bring any of his stories to conclusion. He's JJ Abrams of anime.
>Another thing, seems like the setting jumps from medieval society.
dumb fuckery
There's no consistency to HxH, just like its schedule. Togashi comes up with random shit, gets bored and moves on to a new idea. By now everyone should have figured out Togashi is a lazy hack with possibly the worst discipline in the whole industry.
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO

Like SNK.
it's bad, a lot of us know it's bad but we're in for the twists and shitstorm.
SnK is unarguably one of the better ongoing series right now. It's not without serious flaws, but calling it bad is just dumb and contrarian.
Very arguable.
It's only a shonen while there are thousands of ongoing manga you're probably not aware of(me too), and I consider shonen to be generally inferior.
>It's contrarian to disagree with me
nein
Popularity =/= quality
Its trash and it will be forgotten because it didn't bring anything new to the table.

>applying the rules of normal chimera ants to the royal guards which are way more specific (this was even stated in the plot)
This is one of the most retarded things I've read on Yea Forums in a long time. Surely these aren't the people that are criticizing HxH on here, right?
The point of Meruem coming back was to show the true cruelty of mankind and that despite their monstrous power and their collectivism, the Chimeras never had a chance against humanity.
Meruem might've considered humans physically and socially weak due to their individuality, but he hadn't considered what humans could do if they worked together. Being bombed is about the King's failure, being poisoned is about Humanity's malevolence.
>missing the point this much
Are you fucking kidding me? The point of Meruem coming back is so that we can see the end of his evolution from a monster to a human being that's more human than the average humans of the show. The cruelty of humanity was already shown with the bomb, the poisoning was just a good way of dealing with an OP character that literally no one could beat. It's also thanks to the poisoning that we get the masterful final scene with Meruem and Komugi in the dark.
No, I was just wondering what Yea Forums would think of tvtropes opinions.

Are you talking about the NGL & Whale Island?
>How can anyone unironically read this garbage
From right to left.
If it was just a bomb it wouldn't be specially cruel. Powerful yes, but not any more cruel that what the Chimera Ants have been doing. The poison was the cruel part as it turns those that survived into further vectors for death, creating a poison that spreads around like a plague.
It's easy to mass produce and adding the poison, quite frankly, makes this weapon pointlessly malevolent, as there's no reason to make such a bomb unless you want as many people to suffer as possible. The point that drives how the chimeras never had any chance is that despite the creation of new bombs being banned, many of the countries that had them chose to keep them in reserve.
This. The character designs, the setting, everything is just Togashi adding shit he likes at the moment. It has some really good moments but it's not consistent at all.
Not that guy, but the technology level of the setting is a bit weird. Ignoring the airships (which are technically better than planes in a couple ways), you still have:
Prevailing use of sailing ships.
90s esque blocky pcs.
Brickphones.
Smartphones.
All existing.
I mean, they can all be handwaved, but it is clear that Togashi cares more about transmiting a feel about the characters during their introduction than about keeping the setting consistent. Whale Island has sailing ships because it is a rural, quiet place far away from the modern world.
Blocky computers were THE thing in 98, so characters had them back then.
Brick cellphones is how cellphones looked in 2003 so tech-savy characters used them back them and had to carry them until now.
iPhones is what modern rich people have so Tserriednich has several. Pretty much one for each need.
Based. Pitou is one of the few good things to come out of HxH.
>muh cruelty of mankind
Please explain how mankind was any more cruel than the ants. Sure, its more sophisticated, less personal and industrialized but on basic level its not any worse.
The wmd in particular was just an explosive device in its core. Simply hellfire and seamingly peaceful agent is hella lot more ethical than tearing people apart
this is true though lets not talk about the hiatus and chickenshit art he draws because O MY BACK PAIN
NGL is a primitivist utopia. Yes. People left the cities to go live in bumfuck nowhere. Some people like that. Just google primitivism.
The thing is literally based on what Jim Jones was building in Guyana before his drug fields were discovered and he and his people comitted suicide.
The bomb was strong, but not as strong as a nuke. The poison was the worst part. It literally eats a person rapidly from the inside out. It then spreads to nearby people, which mean that anybody with it is going to die and if you try to help them you'll die too.
And that's not the worst part. The worst part is that the poison made for it was precisely made so its timer between infection and death would always result in a chain reaction of mass casualties. Youp, Pouf and Meruem died so quickly because they stood in the fallout of the bomb.
The narration literally calls it a "weapon expressly engineered to be the ultimate evil".
Apparently Youtube doesn't work with timestamps here. Jump to 1:30 to see how the narration describes the poison.
>The narration literally calls it a "weapon expressly engineered to be the ultimate evil".
Just because narration tells you its a weapon of ultimate evil doesnt mean its one. There is nothing wrong with biological or chemical weapons. It doesnt matter if you die from burns, blood loss, infection or radiation because it will still be incredibly painful whatever it is.
Plus if its an WMD then just put a hazma suit on
See
Exactly, the NGL & Gyro were based on Cambodia & Pol Pot.
That's dumb, it's quite obvious that biological/chemical bombs are more evil because they cause pointless pain, when dropping a bomb that kills most people is just as effective. A bomb that turns anybody that survives the bomb by just being around it into a vector for more death is just making the bomb cause as much death as possible and could well result in a mass extinction event.
Hell the bomb Netero used on the Meruem killed 46 thousand people just because Pouf died in the middle of a crowd. They were not even within the fallout zone, they just happened to be around Pouf's corpse for long enough after he was infected.
Fucking ape, current world is full of piss poor countries where the entire population lives in shit with no access to water and electricity. You don't just choose to live in NY, how fucking dumb can you be?
>Kek why are you poor, just find a job in Wall Street and you're done
The absolute state of people shitting on HxH, the greatest testament to its greatness is the fact that brainded monkeys like you don't like it, it's an honor
I am fairly sure it is mostly based on the People's Temple and Jim Jones since they were communist primitivists too, but were forming a new settlement in Guyana like the NGL rather than leading a revolution, there were cocaine plantations in their settlement like the drugs in the NGL and Jim Jones' backstory is pretty similar to Gyro's.
But yeah. The concept is not too out there.
Same with Meteor City. There is a Garbage City in Egypt. And thr place is not recognized to be settled, so it served as recruitment grounds for terrorist groups. Also the little we saw of Meteor City in CAs looked kinda like pictures you can find of the place online. As well as of Palestine.
>it's quite obvious that biological/chemical bombs are more evil because they cause pointless pain
Aha, but in this case the suffering wasnt pointless. HxH is a world with superhuman endurance and Nen after all, you cant trust conventional weapons to do the job. Ergo the Rose bomb is a necessary and not overly cruel.
>A bomb that turns anybody that survives the bomb by just being around it into a vector for more death is just making the bomb cause as much death as possible and could well result in a mass extinction event.
>Hell the bomb Netero used on the Meruem killed 46 thousand people just because Pouf died in the middle of a crowd. They were not even within the fallout zone, they just happened to be around Pouf's corpse for long enough after he was infected.
Sounds like a good bomb then. The reason why chemical weapons in our world are despised is their inefficiency compared to the conventional arms. Thats why theyre seen as cruel and inhumane weapons of war
However this is not the case here.
Based post user but didn't you saved that pic from mine? It kinda looks similair to mine. You were in other HxH related threads today, so maybe I know you.
Those people were contaminated by Pouf's spores, though. Not just his corpse.
But yeah. At the end of the day, the NGL/Gyro, East Gorteau and the V5 were all partly to blame for all those deaths.
You have a good point there, but the issue wasn't that the weapon was made to kill guy like Meruem, Youpi or Pouf. The weapon was made to cause as much as death as possible in a completely indiscriminate way. 24 hours is enough for someone to get on a plane a kill a few thousand people on the other side of the globe. Do this just right and you can easily cut the human population in half in the span of a month.
I used the same image that I found on the other thread today. I'm just giving the threads a cursory look and saw that part of Tv Tropes that shat on the point of the poison and felt like I had to answer.
>needing to read 150 chapters before realizing you don't like it
what the fuck is wrong with you?
Correct that was my image I posted also in the other tread today: Netero thread, you know the one. Anyway good seeing a fellow Hunterbro here. Once again, you're post was good and interesting to read.
And don't forget bodily failure after walking and standing all day without eating, drinking, pissing or resting. Also his wings that was blown away by the wind.
It was a phyrric victory
>Don't worry, they aren't here.
Glad to hear that. Sadly we can't know that, user. Some of them might be here, not like this is a sekrit club like it was many years ago, and even then it wasn't safe from the plebs.
Oon tää kissa
Chrollo cheated because he knew he would've lost in a real 1 on 1 fight against Hisoka.
Yep, even the namesake of the Rose is a reference to what the Iranian president referred to chemical weapons in the late 80s
"In 1988, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Hashemi Rafsanjani, described chemical and biological weapons as "the poor man's atomic bomb". This phrase is as accurate as it is alarming. While nuclear weapons represent the zenith of mass destruction, their fabrication requires advanced industrial capabilities as well as access to rare, tightly controlled materials. Chemical and biological weapons, on the other hand, are cheap and easy to build using equipment and materials that are used extensively for a host of civilian purposes. This was demonstrated all too clearly in March 1995 when terrorists released chemical weapons on the Tokyo subway."
>"the poor man's atomic bomb". This phrase is as accurate as it is alarming.
Its funny, Tokyo attack would have had probably inducted more casualties if the attackers had wielded simple knifes. The comparison is inaccurate as its gets as conventional weapons are vastly more lethal than biological ones
I don't even want a new anime anymore. Nothing is well animated these days, so it will just be a disappointment.
Except the point of the comparison wasn't to say that chemical/biological weapons were as lethal, but that it can indeed be mass produced cheaply and cause sufficient loss of life.
Boy I wish the mods would do their fucking jobs
Hisoka will die of old age.
but why user? also i’m a fool and idiot.
>but that it can indeed be mass produced cheaply and cause sufficient loss of life.
You really cant though. In order to cause mass casualties you need a delivery method be it artillery, planes etc. The fundamental problem is that to lob 1 ton of sarin over the border requires you to be able to lob so many artillery shells. At that point it might be easier on the economy to use conventional shells.
Sure, these things are poisonous as fuck but can be negated by hazmat suits, masks, simply cutting off ventilation etc which are vastly cheaper than your bombing campaign. So basically you cant harm any military targets and civilians only long as they dont get into pressurized shelter or simply move out.
You have to take into consideration the dispersion too though there is hardly any data on that. In Tokyo attacks they used about 30 kilograms worth but the damage was very limited.
Desu 30 kilograms worth of TNT would have had been more devastating
Hisoka wasn't in the CA arc despite being in every other arc in the story because he would've killed Meruem by himself.
Apparently it means that you read 150 chapters of something you clearly don't like but wanted something to shitpost about anyway so you powered through it all.
Im at 300 now
>In order to cause mass casualties you need a delivery method be it artillery, planes etc. The fundamental problem is that to lob 1 ton of sarin over the border requires you to be able to lob so many artillery shells. At that point it might be easier on the economy to use conventional shells.
That's only because the explosive devices used to disperse the chemical neutralizes the overall effectiveness. Chemical weapons used in the case of the Tokyo attack of 1995 were seen as more as acts of terror rather than to cause widespread casualties.
>Sure, these things are poisonous as fuck but can be negated by hazmat suits, masks, simply cutting off ventilation etc which are vastly cheaper than your bombing campaign.
Assuming people in general walk around in hazmat suits and masks. If they were informed of an attack before it happened, yes obviously methods could be employed to negate that. By that same vein, of course the way to negate mass loss of life from a bombing run is to tell the people to evacuate the city. That aside ,the thing is, you can't say the same in countries that are relatively less developed and don't have the means to protect themselves as effectively.
>You have to take into consideration the dispersion too though there is hardly any data on that.
Also have to factor in capacity of detection which still isn't modern enough to prevent catastrophe.
Chemical weapons aren't the only point of focus here. Biological weaponry is considered to be more devastating in comparison because of the high potential of the spread and effect to a large number of people as we have seen first hand in many cases. Namely, the results of human experimentation form Japan's Unit 731 during WW2 which resulted in thousands dead.
