Only 58 chapters left to cover of this arc it would seem.

So that would roughly mean 30 episodes or so? Everything seems to point out to they will definitely fail in their mission and the King will win this round... I'll get myself mentally prepared for the time when our side characters will meeting their horrible end...

Thanks for the semi spoilers though... I can't imagine how I would have coped with the emotional stress that the following episodes will develop in me.

[Diveman]

It's funny how HxH manages to make it so hype even when it's just an episode of mostly talking and discussing ideas. I love it.

[Upscaled]

The end of this episode coincides with the end of chapter 260 which was published in the February 13, 2006 issue. Manga readers then had to wait until the October 6, 2007 issue to see chapter 261. That's more than one and a half years later. Can you imagine?

Shit Just Got Real.

-EPISODE 109-

Spoiler for part 1:

Manga: Second half of 258, 259, 260

Spoiler for The final day:

Colt and the baby is with him. Notice the absence of the tail in the manga



---

In this scene we see the three together on the same building. In the manga we see Knuckle in the far back

---

Spoiler for It's time:

Who's going to watch over the king?




But I want to play more with my dolls.

Map comparison



Knov've seen better days

-------------------

Spoiler for part 2:

Spoiler for March on:

I want to make a joke on this, but it'll be insensitive and inappropriate and so I won't say it....

The big spread

---

Spoiler for Some scolding:

In the manga the King was walking toward Pitou. In the anime we see him sitting on his throne.

---

Spoiler for Pouf's ability:

If he was Mothra, that would sign his death!


That's how you'll feel listening to Christmas songs at the mall none-stop

---

Spoiler for The calm before the storm:

During Shoot's thoughts about Killua, we see a background event with Ikalgo showing Gon his growing tentacle. This was not seen in the anime



So Crunchyroll decided to NOT translate Godspeed? Weird...



Great representation for this page.



THE HEART!! (In the anime he doesn't ask the reason of his birth in this scene)



We didn't get this shot T_T

-------------------
The storm has arrived. That final scene with everybody's turn of thoughts about themselves was wonderful and it was so calm and relaxing yet makes your dread what they'll go through. Definitely a favorite of mine.

And with this episode, we've finished volume 24 of the manga. That leaves us 5 2/3 volumes till the end of the arc
8/10

Yes, yes i can imagine.
Thank you ever so much for reminding me.

[Dengar]

This just shows that they can make the calm before the storm way more tense than the storm itself could ever be. There is literally no telling how much of the mission will go according to plan, and most importantly, what are the things that won't?


I must add that I liked the analysis and how they used logic to come to the very accurate conclusion that "The King injured himself, something really unexpected must be happening in there".

[ookamigirl]

Lots of preparations...
And lots of possible strategies.
Things are getting pretty intense.
The selection part should be very interesting.
Seems this was just an intro episode for the main event.
Can't wait to see next episode!

[Diveman]

I remember the wait time for this arc to continue, it was the worst lol

[TooPurePureBoy]

I remember there being quite a long wait during the fight Killua had against the brother and sister dart board/Ikalgo chimera ants. We got a short return for the "needle in the forehead" revelation and then if memory serves me correctly we had another super long wait after that.

Nothing worse than a Togashi break in the middle of an arc.

[revive4563]

Well, I think Togashi has a mental disease after all. So, Jump is generous to him.

We're not even sure if he's still ill or if it's his excuse card and expects us to buy it. He was ill in his YuYu Hakusho days, but that happened what year again?!

[Guardian Enzo]

I'll take breathtaking brilliance intercut with frequent hiatuses over mediocrity delivered on schedule every time.

Dunno man, I wouldn't mind all those hiatuses if he keeps the art quality consistent, some chapters looks like they were scribbled by kids

[kakakka]

They are names, scenarios drawn on paper. Kinda shows how Shonen Jump just cares about Togashi submitting a story. This hiatus is one of the longest I think, or not, but either way, there's going to be more scribbles on the way.

[Guardian Enzo]

Well, I take encouragement from the fact that SJ hasn't ever come out and changed "hiatus" to "retired".

I'm going to the H x H panel at Jump Festa this Sunday and I suppose there could be some kind of announcement there but I'm really not expecting anything.

[Dengar]

Just hoping. XD

[Sugetsu]

There are 3 manga writers that I deeply admire: Hayao Miyazaki for well, all of his works, Kentaro Miura for Berserk and Togashi Yoshihiro for Yuyu and H x H.

Both Kentaro and Togashi seem to take their sweet time writing, but when they do it they come up with pure brilliance. I don't really care if it takes them both another 10 years to finish, all good things in life are never rushed.

I don't know why people are so dismissive of this. For all we know he has some long-term terminal illness, or is crippled. Maybe he had a stroke or something and it's physically painful for him to draw. Or maybe not. We have no idea, because he chooses not to tell us. But to go from "he's been using the same excuse for a long time" to "he must be lying because he's lazy" seems like an absurd jump in logic to me. I suppose I should interpret it as a compliment since it means you like his work so much that you don't want to believe that there's any real obstacle to getting it, but it just feels disrespectful to me.
