Now they want to enjoy the game, but they don't need to clear it. Certainly not to get out, since players go out all the time. Though they do need a certain item to do it. |

Gon: "It's my job to say crazy stuff. Your job is to stay cool and stop me. I'm counting on you!" Killua: "You're so selfish." Like I said that exchange had an obviously playful tone, but there's definitely some manner of truth to it if you ask me. But don't get me wrong, the point here isn't to question Gon's loyalty, which as I've said is also quite fierce, but rather highlight the pathos of Killua's character: feeling ashamed and inadequate about his past is natural, but he's got nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to his friendship with Gon, since he's basically been the best friend a person can ask for. But then again maybe the fact that he can't just separate the two like that just goes to further show how genuine and heartfelt his desire for redemption is. |

That's why he was about to fight Nobunaga. That question was so important to him, he neglected to actually look for a solution where they both escaped. |

Good news, though perhaps not what some were hoping for:

Yeah, shouldn't have gotten my hopes up that it would be the manga coming back. All signs were pointing to it too with the Kurapika side story chapters and the release of new tankoubons, but I guess it wouldn't be a Togashi hiatus if it didn't last at least a year (which it will in two months).

Anyway, this arc should be fun - my memories of it are VERY hazy though I'm kind of sad that I randomly remembered who the bomber ends up being. Damn my selective recollection! |

All HxH screenings sold out at Shibuya Toho... But someone has a ticket!
It's based on a story Togashi supposedly wrote 10 years ago and never used in the manga - SJ published it as a one-shot in December.

The one-shot (well, two-shot since it had two parts) they published was just an elaboration of Kurapica's backstory. Maybe it sets the stage for the movie, but it doesn't resolve the basic contradiction that there's really no place in the timeline for the movie to take place in, mostly because Gon and Killua have already entered Greed Island.

That said, there are contradictions in the timeline that don't really make sense because this exists outside the manga canon, but to elaborate further would entail movie spoilers.

i forgot that some things about this arc were given this early, anyway, this is the arc i probably enjoy the less in the whole series so far, but no deny in that madhouse is doing a good job with it, also my only issue with the series wich was the music direction seems that has been solved so kudos to that.

Wow, that was about 5 chapters in one episode.
Still, while the brisk pacing bothered me in York Shin, where the manga's pacing was already perfect, I actually rather welcome it in Greed Island, especially during its first half, which was pretty damn slow in the manga. Too much dwelling on long-winded tutorials that end up serving little purpose, aka Togashi being a little too self-indulgent with his inner nerd. |
