Hunter x Hunter

gon has always been childish and ignored the immoral aspects of people who benefit him while holding others who effect him negatively accountable

Pitou (bottom-right) is healing an innocent girl who her king has taken a liking to. Gon has a personal vendetta against Pitou for killing his mentor/friend.

It's pretty good character progression for a shonen. Too bad about the weird novel's worth of useless narration suddenly appearing in this arc.

How about he had a trauma and his character changed in this situation?
He was fucking pissed and nearly gave up his life to kill pitou.

why does this even has a general if it doesn't even get published anymore? wtf do you guys discuss?

That would mean no one could talk about completed series either, especially if they're pretty old
And what if someone just read it recently and wants to talk about it, we can't because it's still on hiatus?

he didn't kill her though, it was just an empty threat

That's your headcanon, he was serious

just because he didn't kill her doesn't mean he wasn't going to, pitou knows that he's not fucking around and says as much

I believe he would have regretted it after doing it and coming to his senses since he wasn't thinking clearly because of his rage, but he sure would have done it

but he didn't, gon's morality wasn't challenged cause he didn't go through with it. Doesn't matter if he was "going too" do it

If Togashi had real balls, Gon would've killed Komugi and then dealt with the guilt like a real human bean.
But he didn't have the balls to do that so he brought Kite back as a loli.

People don't abide to standards they set for others all the time.

Agreed. Togashi whimping out of making Gon do something morally reprehensible was pure bullshit.

Falling for this bait

>whats good for me is not for thee
Yeah no shit.

Being put into a situation where you're considering breaking your moral code is the very definition of challenging your morality. I mostly get what you meant, I think--you meant broken when you said challenged, right?

Either way, Gon's morality was challenged, and it survived. It's not a matter of the writer not having balls, or not going far enough. Gon faced a challenge where he gave his moral compass to his enemy and dared her to break it. I personally loved that.

It's fine if you didn't like it, but I'm curious as to why you think Gon killing the injured girl would have been a more interesting direction for his character than giving Pitou a condition and letting her choose whether to fulfill it or not.

>It's fine if you didn't like it, but I'm curious as to why you think Gon killing the injured girl would have been a more interesting direction for his character
If he actually did something, he would have to live with the consequences. But Togashi couldn't handle those consequences, which is why he NANIKA'D the repercussions of Gon-san away too and brought Kite back from the dead. He just didn't have the balls to have any kind of consequences despite making it seem like he would.
And this is why HxH is vastly overrated. You equate Togashi implying he's going to do something with him actually having done it, and you praise him for it.

This user speaks the truth

Honestly I don't even mind this scene all that much, but when people bring this up as some sort of amazing subversive moment of shonen I just find it a bit far-fetched.

If Gon killed the injured girl they're probably could've been a bit of gon questioning his morals and beliefs (which would be interesting, seeing that they're opposed to killua's, so he could have something to do with it) but I don't know if togashi could've pulled it off well

"Questioning" his morals has been done with him being serious about killing the girl
If he killed her then it's not questioning them anymore, it's already betraying them

You can say he "questioned" his morals but nothing comes of it, it basically gets swept under the rug during the next arc because togashi has to jerk off his political knowledge instead of tell the story about the characters I care about

Exactly this is the same master of hacks and asspulls who thinks going on hiatus of 6 months+-1 years releasing only 10 chapters is normal. But of course the cucked shitty fandom fall for it and continue waiting like the blind dogs they are.

asspull x hiatus

> Dude, the journey not the destination.
That was just Togashi's way of saying.
>I am in way over my head with this story. I don't have the energy to ever properly conclude it, but I still have stories to tell so just enjoy whatever I put up, but don't get any expecations.

Thanks God, one less braindead faggot in the retarded fanbase that formed after 2011

You try too hard.

It's very much intentional though. Gon is not your average shounen good guy mc. He might seem that way because he's a kid, but he's extremely selfish. He's Ging's son after all. Here he's being a hypocrite because he's only thinking about what he wants and does not care about the consequences.

Here we go again, it's another episode of idiots equating a void threat to kill a girl in a mission where humanity's future was at stake and that girl was a pivotal factor in the conflict, to actually killing innocent people who have nothing to do with you to steal some treasure you'll get rid of a couple of weeks later anyway. Togashi doesn't deserve all these retards.

Haha Gon didn't care for shit for humanity's future in that moment

I'm generally on board with characters making hard decisions and living with the consequences. But I also love seeing characters being pushed against the boundaries of their beliefs. I love it when their beliefs shatter and they have to reassemble the pieces and choose where to build them back up. I also love it when their beliefs hold, but crack in the process, like with Gon. I don't need every story to show the wall shattering, and I don't think Gon's story would have been better if it had.

I don't think Kite coming back as a loli was necessary. I don't know if s/he has something later to justify a resurrection, but it does cheapen the ant arc slightly given what I've seen--which is only the recent anime. Similarly, I'm not sure how I feel about Nanika healing Gon, even if they did spend an entire arc on it. I'm surprisingly apathetic about everything after the ant arc. Something to do the Nanika arc feeling incomplete.

Also, I've never in my life spoken Togashi's praises because I watched the anime over the course of a week several years ago and haven't participated in the fandom since, but I assume that's a general "you" directed toward more dedicated fans.

I think the Nanika arc feels incomplete because Togashi was writing it while the 2011 anime was getting closer and closer to finishing. It seems like he wanted it to end with an ending. He did say he wrote the world tree scene to feel like an ending.

One of reasons why I love Ging & Gon.

Gon wasn't pushed anywhere. It was implied he would be but Togashi didn't do anything with the idea. It's the exact same thing with Kurapika "losing his lifespan" when he uses Emperor Time. He doesn't visibly grow older or feebler, he's not going to die from it. It's just words. Like how Gear 2nd supposedly makes Luffy lose his lifespan in One Piece. It visibly doesn't happen and will never play any kind of role in the story, it's just pointless words.
Gon threatening to kill Komugi was exactly that. Pointless words with no meaning.

Deconstruction you pleb.

Yeah at that moment, but that’s because he was busy with his rage and desire to kill Pitou here and then.

Gon neither gave a shit about humanity's future nor thought of Kogumi anything more than 'Pitou's friend bad' you mouthbreater faghead.

I liked it better in YYH. Yusuke telling hungry demons to just eat people was much more interesting character development than threatening a hostage.

Lurk warm takes on hypocrisy isn't a deconstruction, reddit.

Then why did he go out of his way to make sure Pouf wouldn't be a threat to the others and kept two royal guards locked in place? And why did he waste time to chat with Knuckle giving him info and advice?

>her

Komugi was a girl!

I see your point, and allow me to move the goalposts slightly since I doubt we'll agree on the weight of Gon's decision: in a shonen story, do you think there was a chance in hell of the author writing the hero murdering an injured, unconscious, and presumably innocent young girl in anger and getting that scenario past the editor of a shonen magazine?

>Takes on Youpi on his own and would have died in doing so if Knuckle and Meleoron would have died
>H-he doesn't give a shit about the mission and humanity

Editorial inference aside, I honestly don't think Togashi would ever write a protagonist killing an innocent. Unless I'm forgetting something

Light treated Misa as a tool and was willing to expend her life-span for his purposes and she was innocent by reason of insanity.
Light also killed Misora Naomi who was a smoking hot widow.
>on the hierarchy of things fans would hate a character for killing, innocent young girls are near the top just below dogs
Yes. Which would make it a ballsy move and force both Gon and Togashi to deal with actual consequences that couldn't be magicked away by Killua's convenient tranny sibling with wish-granting powers.

Try again but in english this time, dumb monkey

Again, Yusuke was telling demons to just eat people. I'm sure people don't want to be eaten. That part of course never went anywhere because the series ended but characters within the story were concerned with Yusuke becoming more detached from his humanity.

Absolute braindead speedreader, that was about Gon you fucking idiot, go read the fucking manga. He was ready to fight Yupi cause he thought Dragon Dive could have killed Knuckle and Meleoron.

Faggot you couldn't even tell the difference between Gon and Killua. Kill yourself.

He didn't even touch Youpi so why are acting like this cliffnote was a fucking huge deal in the first place when it's immediately toss out for the Pitou shit, again is what is actually being discussed you assblasted faggot.

Reading one volume a year isn't so bad.

Because you brainlets are claiming he only cared about his personal vendetta, the fact that he was ready to take on Yupi proves you wrong, I don't give a shit if it didn't happen, he was still going to do it and that's certain. Even him actually touching Komugi didn't happen, yet you fucking idiots act like he killed her as you're calling him hypocrite for doing the same thing the spiders do, when that's obviously false. And in Komugi's case we don't know for sure if he would have done it, unlike with him fighting Yupi. But of course you know all that and you're just in damage control after being exposed as a speedreader

Because MC is a manipulative goal-oriented hypocrite, just like Lucifer?
It was a very good writing. It was foreshadowed time and time again that Gon is unfettered.
Remember the time when he let the murderer go because he helped him to trian?

yes, sadly my hero academia is one of the most read manga of shonen jump, despite being one of the dullest in it's entire history

Calm your tits and don’t get mad gaylord.

It was an empty threat, he noticed before that he can use Komugi to have Pitou obey everything he says and not attack him, literally the second after that he tells killua and knuckle to take her hostage.
He is playing it smart.

the development of pretty much all the human characters at that point in the arc was that they would do anything to kill the ants and ended up losing their humanity as the ants steadily became more humane. it made the defeat of the ants, which was very much desired earlier, much more tragic than it would have been had the gon and friends remained purely good and the ants purely evil

how hard would hisoka have came if he saw gon fighting pitou?

The real reason for the hiatus is Togashi forgot what happend in the latest chapters and its too much to read for him

O MY DEMON BLOOD ruined Yusuke, why'd Togashi have to fuck it up?

So listen retards, here's what would've happened
>Gon kills Komugi
>Kite can't be "healed"
>Pito immediately beheads both Gon and Killua

Ballsy move. Kudos to Togashi for having the gall to pull an Araki and kill of his lead.

>said he would turn himself in to the authority and dropped his weapons
They have no way to tell that he is not lying, you dim-witted mongoloid.
Readers know that his remorse was probably genuine.
Gon has no such info.
And he can always change his mind while going to prison.

So hard he die a heart attack. He probably will fight Gon there and then.

Finally someone with taste in this thread.

He had no reason to turn himself in and drop his weapons nor lie to the boys, you simpleton halfwit oaf.
>And he can always change hos mind while going to prison.
But the boys wouldn’t know.

>no reason
Are you on drugs? To save his hide. Come on, it's villain deception 101.
And it worked. Whether it was genuine or not is irrelevant because MC can't tell them apart.

Is Alluka a guy or a girl? Why make his gender ambiguous? Is the point that Something is male and Alluka is female?

It's a boy dressed up as a girl, or a tranny as we call them.

lmao

That was actually a somewhat clever way to twist your words, but you wouldn’t know since you are a herotard and lack the capacity to understand basic diction

>You can't never tell if someone is lying or not, therefore you should never trust anyone
Absolute retardation. Besides, Bisky could tell, the way she could tell Hisoka was lying. And it doesn't matter what he ends up doing, all that matters is that they believed him, it's their call and they're not dumb, they knew about the implications.

>Pito immediately beheads both Gon and Killua
More like Gon goes saiyan and fucks her asshole

>fucks her asshole
That that part belongs Palm Siberia

*to

>you should never trust anyone
I never said it. Reasonable doubt is the thing for a reason.
Here we have an untrustworthy person who has all the reason to lie because his hide is on the line.
>it's their call and they're not dumb, they knew about the implications
My point exactly. Gon is perfectly willing to endanger others because he feels like it.

Gon's mental state was pretty damaged at this time.

That person just asked Gon to kill him meaning it's reasonable to believe he's being truthful, and Gon's exceptional instinct is one of the character's main traits as shown throughout the whole show, so it's a given that he is able to tell if someone has good intentions and is telling the truth, he did the same with Killua and Meleoron. Plus what was the alternative there, kill him in cold blood? Babysit him and leave what he was doing to escort him to the police? Makes no sense.

Killua kill a bunch of random strangers just because of some kind of urges

Reminder that gon didnt even flinch knowing killua was from assasin family and he really did kill some random strangers

Gon would be fine with whatever his boyfriend does.

So would I if I’m honest.

>he really did kill some random strangers
Yeah but Gon didn’t know that. I doubt Killua told anyone. I was pretty shocked when I read it for the first time, still am.

Don’t forget Bodoro

>Ugh I hate Gon and Killua as the main protagonists!
Fuck every asshole retard who says this. Yes I can understand getting bored of Gon since MOST of the time he was just "Mr. Generic Positive-Force-of-Nature who changes everyone around him" which is typical of shounen MCs but his arc during CA was brilliant and how he'll change as a result of that will be interesting to see. Togashi foreshadowed an encounter with Gyro for a reason. And it goes without saying that Killua has always been a good character and his arc throughout the series was great.

Some people/sites say that Gon Freecss is a vanilla protagonist

Anyone who's reading the manga knows Gon's story is mostly done and that Gyro and him will be a bonus/follow-up. Kurapika is now the protagonist and hopefully never Leorio along with Hisoka when he pops up.

>never Leorio
Poor Leorio :(

nothing about what light did was ballsy in that sense because the series establishes pretty early on he's a villain. gon was a happy-go-lucky goku-esque shounen protagonist so for him to be pushed to the point that he was OK with killing an innocent is a much bigger deal.

>killing people is no big deal but not killing someone is super ballsy
This is how the fanboy brain operates.

One of the great solaces of Chimera Ant is the truth that people change – they can grow, evolve, become more than themselves through circumstance. We cause each other tremendous pain, but our friction makes us better than we were. We all change each other.Unfortunately, like all good things in Chimera Ant, this happy fact has its negative counterpart.

Gon is Hunter x Hunter’s Shounen Hero. Upbeat, headstrong, immensely loyal to his friends.
For most of the series’ length, his passion lends strength to those around him – even as far as halfway through Chimera Ant, Killua remarks that “Gon is the light” raising him up. But by the end of Chimera Ant, all the variables that defined him have turned against him – fundamentally shaken by the loss of his mentor Kite, he ends up revealing how even the best intentions can sour if taken to their extremes.

His optimism becomes an inability to accept death. His confidence ends up narrowing possible futures to the only thing he cares about, the only reality he can accept. And his loyalty becomes obsession – an overpowering need to save Kite that drives him away from everyone else who cares about him. By the time he realizes Kite is never coming back, he has become an instrument with a single purpose, and even the visual aesthetic of his final episode reflects this – as a former array of possibilities narrows to one, the color is bled from his world, till all that remains is black, white, and the red of anger, of blood.

>tl;dr
Our ability to instill value in others and our capacity for change can make monsters of even the best of us.

Read his post again, he's saying that being pushed to killing an innocent makes him stand out due to the usual shonen protagonist being the biggest moralfag among his cast.

Hisoka sucks and Kurapika bores me. Give me Black Jack style medical drama with Leorio already.

>being pushed to killing an innocent
But he didn't do that. He did nothing. You're praising Togashi for not doing anything. You're a blind fanboy.

Togashi doesn't care if the characters, the art, or anything else are inconsistent. Retards will eat it up just as well anyway.

He still presented that option, regardless of whether he did it or not, an unusual and unheard of method of getting things done for a shonen protagonists. But I already know what to expect from your response and shame on me for biting.

>presented that option
But was it ever a valid option? Like this guysaid the editors wouldn't have let him do it anyway so there was never any real tension of whether Gon would or wouldn't, thereby making it completely pointless.

Given CA's overall tone, I doubt the editors had a say in anything he wanted to do. There were plenty of other things they could have went after instead of Gon suggesting the idea of killing an innocent. Did you read the manga? Given his actions, it's unlikely that it was an empty threat.

Fucking this chimera bitch, Feitan did a good job burning her to death.

He literally charged his JaJanken and he was about to use Rock before Killua stopped him.

Nice read.
It scares me how he likes so much HxH but has other ideas and works on his mind he keeps delaying it.
If only he could have a way of telling us when we could expect more chapters. But he isn't this kind of person. He is really clumsy.

This is nothing knew and certainly not a result of CA arc, he does the same in the hunter exam when he says he felt useless and powerless against Hisoka. Same after being defeated by Knuckle

Stfu and pick up a dictionary, Gon is not an hypocrite and you retards claiming so should go back to school and stop acting like you're smart for forcing a flaw that doesn't exist on a character so that you can say he's more realistic. A threat with no follow up is not even close to actually killing someone and that's why you don't get the same sentence for the two the penal system.

Please understand

When he was charging Jajanken he was about to kill Pitou, not Komugi, read slower

Gon had all the intention to kill Komugi if Pitou didn't stay true to his promise. That makes Gon an hypocrite since he was willing to kill someone unrelated to him like Chrollo does.
Him carrying the action doesn't matter in the end, since he was being honest about killing her.

Why is this so hard to understand for you? Are you in denial?

Because that's your headcanon first of all, you don't know if he had the intention and you're just making shit up, if anything he learned from his interaction with Pitou that she'd do anything for Komugi thus threatening to kill her was strategically the best thing to do in that situation. Secondly, Komugi is definitely not someone who has nothing to do with him, she's a crucial factor in a conflict that has the survival of the human race as a stake, she's not just a random girl he's willing to kill to get some rare item for himself, the difference is cristal clear.

Hisoka will die of old age.

Everyone feels sorry for Pokkle & Ponzu, I hope Pitou is getting his asshole ripped open by Ant Satan for what he did to Pokkle.

>Because that's your headcanon first of all, you don't know if he had the intention and you're just making shit up, if anything he learned from his interaction with Pitou that she'd do anything for Komugi thus threatening to kill her was strategically the best thing to do in that situation. Secondly, Komugi is definitely not someone who has nothing to do with him, she's a crucial factor in a conflict that has the survival of the human race as a stake, she's not just a random girl he's willing to kill to get some rare item for himself, the difference is cristal clear.

He had all the intention to do so. read the page again and watch Gon's reaction/aura. And yes, Komugi is a crucial part of the conflict, but the conflict of Meruem vs the human race. Not Pitou vs Gon.

I find it funny, people complain about Togashi missusing the visual medium and post basically saying he needs to convey thoughts and ideals via images, but when he does so, people dismiss it as headcanon.

Gon should have killed Pitou instead of threatening Komugi. That whole plot line was fucking stupid and made Gon look like a retard

Nigger four fucking reddit tier thought expirements of Gon being a 6d chessmaster, and he somehow being knowledgeable of Kogumi's importance in the conflict is the only headcanon being pushed here. Its been provwn without a shadow of a doubt that Gon had a one track mind during those chapters, and the fact that he ultimately followed through on murder proves just how flimsy the bullshit you've been spouting truely is.

So your whole argument is "he had all the intention because he looks pissed and serious". Of course. As opposed to when he says Pouf is lying only to admit he wasn't serious a second later to Knuckle and he was doing it only to keep him in check. You got nothing.

>somehow being knowledgeable of Kogumi's importance in the conflict
So that's why he had the idea of taking her hostage, because he had no idea of her importance, right? And he's just a dumb kid not aware of anything, that's why he's the first one to realize the implications of Dragon Dive potentially killing Knuckle and Meleoron,.
Kek, absolute state of you brainlets. Being called a redditor is starting to sound like a compliment seeing as this place is full of braindead monkeys like yourself.

>You got nothing
I see, so you not only ignore Gon's background, personality and murderous aura. But you also can't read the intention of the author and what was he was trying to transmit.

Wait. I tried watching this shit and it was a kid fucking around like it was alice in wonderland. When does it start to look cool like in the OP?

Gon asked Chrollo that for future reference, because as a hunter he might find himself in the same situation where someone has to die.

How does Pitou have nothing to do with Gon? This isn't hypocrisy.

Gon doesn't have a moral compass, if he likes you, he's cool with it, if he doesn't, he judges you, goreinu does the same with killua and genthru but he is honest about it while gon is a fag pretending to be righteous.

Komugi has nothing to do with Gon, not Pitou

Except he didn't give the invasion team a second thought the moment Pitou came into the picture, so clinging to that scene is some sort of gotcha! shows just how much of a desperate dumb nigger you really are.

Didn't feel a tragic at all. Pouf was a piece of shit, Youpi rejected humanity and cursed them all and Pitou died like a trash for trying to kill Gon. Only Meruem death was tragic and sad.

On the other hand, it makes sense.

He never bluffed or lied once in the manga. And he blew his lid when he thought Pitou was lying to him.

Plus he almost killed her twice

Gon was also the one who called the reason why the King hurt himself. Knowing she was valuable enough to be worth that, he could have asked for more if he wasn't focused on Kite.

Wasn't it Killua who called the reason for the king being hurt?

Literally the point.

Still wrong as he tried to stop Pouf from leaving and going after the others when he was focused on Pitou, you speedread that too, you're a fucking brainlet it's unbelievable. And that's just another headcanon anyway, like he was ready to risk his life against Yuopi and risk to never get to Pitou just because he forgot about being obsessed or changed his mind for no reason after that. You're making up a shitty fanfiction to try to make sense of your retarded headcanon. Also of course you're just ignoring what I said about Gon being well aware of everything that's going on around him, he's an hypocrite and a clueless idiot because you are too dumb to even remember what happens in the manga, at least stfu and go hide in shame if you're exposed that bad, don't try to talk more shit.

Except he did. Bluffed with Ponzu in the first arc to get her badge. Lied to the spiders the second time they were captured pretending they were still going after them for the reward. Lied to Pakunoda when she was about to check their memories again. Lied a couple of chapters before that same threat when he said Pouf was not telling the truth about being a clone and admitted it to Knuckle. Yet another proof that all you retards calling him hypocrite are liars or speedreaders.

Wrong as always, you keep digging your own grave with every post, Killua called the King hurting himself but Gon is the one who came up with the reason why he hurt himself, you can't even read and understand a fucking sentence

>Bluffed with Ponzu in the first arc to get her badge.
Wasn't a bluff. Are you stupid? (don't answer that, that's a given)

>Lied to the spiders the second time they were captured pretending they were still going after them for the reward.
Going after them was still part of the plan and Gon wasn't the one that pretended that the reward was rescinded that was Killua, a known liar.

>Lied to Pakunoda when she was about to check their memories again.
Wasn't a lie either.

> Lied a couple of chapters before that same threat when he said Pouf was not telling the truth about being a clone and admitted it to Knuckle
Also complete buffonish misinterpreting of the events that took place. Don't open your mouth if you've nothing of worth to state, tyke.

I don't think Gon was bluffing,he actually wouldve killed komugi if Pitou didn't obey him.
but in my opinion Gon's morality is not challenged.
what matters is what Gon felt at that moment.
Taking an innocent blind girl as a hostage is not what he wanted to do but what the situation demanded for him.
The difference between Gon and Chrollo is that Chrollo feels no guilt killing others but Gon knows murdering is a bad thing and maybe doesn't want to do that. My English isn't good sorry.

Therefore blind girl was no innocent bystander or even noncombatant

This^ When Togashi writes an arc he over-complicates stuff and makes the story a mess later on, where it becomes inconsistent and messy rather than simplifying the themes and archetypes and building upon them but he goes randomly with everything he comes up with to the point where he doesnt give much of a thought on how to resolve them by hiding behind the excuse of him breaking the cliches of shonen manga.It only worked with Yorkshin arc but he pushed it too far after it to the point where manga doesnt even have a clear direction or what is going for.

Not gonna lie user, I feel the opposite way. The succession war is actually really interesting but I never liked Hisoka and feel that he drags down the quality of the story whenever he's present.

Wouldn't have been good if Gon actually killed Komugi as it would have affected Meruem's character arc, which was really satisfying. They never would have survived if Gon had killed Komugi.

>show is bad because protag is a hypocrite

Dragon Quest induced back problems

The thing about fictional stories is that it's impossible to tell whether an author intentionally made a character a hypocrite, or if they just fucking forgot what they wrote before.

Why hasn't the WSJ axed this manga already? It clearly offers nothing to the magazine because Togashi doesn't give a shit
>muh back problems
If he really had back problems that stopped him from drawing, he could hire an artist instead, or end the manga if he's unwilling to do that. Being on permanent hiatus is an insult to all the readers

It still sells really well when it has enough material for a new volume.

I'd rather sell 4 volumes a year with 500k copies each than 1 volume a year that sells 1M

Then scrap any concern about the author's intent and focus on what's there. I don't think it's a problem in itself for a character to be contradictory. Gon shows he is capable of exhibiting the same behavior he couldn't comprehend earlier on.

Real art needs time, while commercial shit can be churned out to the masses.

Is that why David Mack takes so long? Shit.

Because I spend a lot of years reading the manga and watching the anime (11) while waiting for new chapters, only Togashi goes on another hiatus of 6 months or at worst 2 years and for what, 10 measly chapters in a slow arc while introducing lot of characters and walls of texts.
>Why are you so obsessed with cocks user? Do you want to say something very special to us, user?
Yeah, you guys are faggots and bitches of Togashi. You keep worshipping a lazy mangaka who doesn’t give a shit about his fandom while he is fucking off to play DQ while he’s supposed to be writing, drawing and releasing those damn chapters. How long is it going to take to finish this boring shitfest of a arc? 30 years?

Yeah the hiatus is shit but what does that have to do with the quality of the manga itself?
