I also recently wonder if the bottomless malice within the human race that Netero refers to Pariston.
We’ve effectively seen his “superpower” so far as being able to wield people’s own insufficiencies (Cheadle/Mizai) and flaws (Netero/Teradein) against them. It can expand.

L’Empire de Kakin est inspiré de l’Empire ottoman et de la Chine impériale des Qin.
Dans les années 2000, Togashi s'est rendu en Égypte, dans le Jump, il écrit :
« Je suis allé en Égypte !! J’aimerais exprimer dans mon œuvre ne serait-ce qu’une partie de cette émotion. »
Quelques années plus tard, les gardes royaux sont créés ; "Neferpitou" signifie "beau" en égyptien ancien
Menthuthuyoupi" "Shaiapouf" font tout deux références à Montou, le dieu de la guerre et Shaï, le dieu du destin.
En 1999, Togashi avait aussi visité la Turquie.
10 ans après, on a la guerre de succession de Kakin. Et cette guerre s'inspire peut-être d’une pratique ottomane institutionnalisée. En effet, lorsqu'un nouveau sultan arrivait au pouvoir, il faisait exécuter ses frères pour s'assurer de la sucession.
Mehmed III avait exécuté 19 de ses frères en 1595.
Just thinking about how immensely proficient in nen the game masters of Greed Island must be to keep the entire island functioning. What do you mean 11 people built the infrastructure and control the maintenance of spells and NPCs in the whole game LOL
I feel like it’s pointless to wonder if Ging could beat Meruem because if Meruem offered him a conversation like he did Netero they’d actually just yap for days
I find it hilarious, that’s there’s truth in how people can’t connect with Gon as a main character because he’s more real than idealist hero. There’s a great commentary on people in that - they struggle to like a character they share obvious things with
I also like that Gon doesn’t try to understand the struggles of everyone who opposes him. He doesn’t feel empathy when he doesn’t think it’s warranted, and he doesn’t try to understand people’s motives if he doesn’t like them. Togashi really didn’t write him as a role model in the conventional sense, which is why readers often struggle to connect with Gon because of his selective kindness toward others. He’s still fundamentally kind, open-hearted, and empathetic, but these qualities are portrayed in a much more down-to-earth way.

gon not being as popular, inspirational or maybe loved overall as some other shonen MCs is because his morality is not validated by the story narrative. gon's morality is not absent from the story tho, it's just not granted automatic narrative legitimacy

hxh actually interrogating the “determined, stubborn, radically optimistic MC” trope and highlighting the real flaws in those personality types (selfishness, hypocrisy, self-harm) when every other mangaka just writes them that way for aura farming moments

This series has no depth!

Why am I so smart?
Bring me the HxH mutuals that want the theorycraft and be fascinated by Togashi’s storytelling. Other than that I’m cool I don’t need the shonentwt cavemannery a lot of this series fanbase engages in
The most pressing question regarding Ging Freecss to me, is why did he have Gon? What does Gon mean to him? In fact - what is Gon? A genuine son between mother and father? A contingency? A clone? A wish? A curse? All we know is Ging is meticulous, and Gon MUST be significant.
I’ll be honest. I don’t know what people’s obsession is with putting down other anime to prop up their own. It’s not just in insults, it’s like people can’t let other people compliment ANOTHER series in peace.
I feel like it’s illness. Truly.
