If Togashi wanted to show a fight, he would have done so in the manga. But he chooses not to. This is supposed to be the Final Phase--the last step in Gon's journey to become a Hunter. So why is it such a letdown? Gon's match is moreso torture than it is a fight. And then he wakes up after everything is over? That sounds like we missed the best part, right? This is exactly what Togashi wants you to think. Stay tuned.  |
It kind of reminded me of the end of the Makai tournament in Yu Yu Hakusho, where we didn't even get to see the last matches. Togashi really likes screwing with readers' expectations.
