[@dualinline7867]

15 years ago, I want to be like Gon or Killua or Kurapika. Present: I want to be Leorio.

[@Archanfel]

A few decades later... Future: I want to die like Isaac Netero.

[@Cobalt004]

From the start, Leorio have always been my favourite character. He’s a normal human.

[@mrnukes797]

​@Archanfel So taking a anthill out with a warhead I've heard weirder and more crazier ways

[@j-rey-]

His skills would be the most useful in every day life. He is an expert negotiator, charismatic, takes no sh*t, confident, fearless to the point of facing certain death against Hisoka, pushes himself to his absolute physical limits, one of the most empathetic and kindest people alive, tall, handsome, strong, intelligent, killer sense of style, and even a real-world beauty pageant competitor (I forgot who) said that he is her type. My mans is a golden boy. The more that I think about it, Togashi creates some of the best characters in fiction. The whole Yu Yu Hakusho main quartet are probably my favorite main cast of characters in any medium.

[@gabrielgoes0]

​@@Cobalt004 but, at least for me, the more exciting part is exploring characters with powers and skills which can't exist in real life. I mean, if I wanted to relate to normal people, I'd watch a more grounded series or just... Interact with people in my life

[@WhiskerDooz]

Nen ability : Strong Back

[@alysondavy2485]

Just like Togashi

[@jakobreagan2592]

My nen ability is a telepathic notification every time the New World Review drops a new injection of Hunter X Hunter content

[@HarriCruickshank]

Where do they drop it?

[@St_Nic]

Yes, where do we pick it up?

[@tomralfe5428]

I have the same ability, except the injection goes in my bumbum.

[@Vidar93]

That's good because I am a nen user whose specialization is manipulation and my nen ability is to subconsciously cause new world review to have an increased desire to create new HxH content.

[@Emilstekcor]

Seriously I woke up an hour ago at 5am... comes online to see...

[@xavmanisdabestest]

Princes, bodyguards, spy's from other princess, beyound neteroes men, the spiders, hisoka, illumi and his brother, the zodiacs, Beyonds expedition crew, Ging Pariston tge Princess nen beasts and their abilities to manipulate and empower others. The amount of subplots within subplots in this arc is crazy and the fact they're so thoroughly fleshed out the potential for interactions is of the charts. Togashi is truely a mad man creating game of thrones level of things to keep track off

[@Ryan-zd4rv]

ASOIAF and the meereenese knot is exactly what I was thinking of.

[@KurapikasChains727]

🐐 in process. GOAT status buffering…. Once this arc concludes I just have this feeling Succession Contest arc will be deemed one of the all time greatest story arcs.. ever.

[@CJ739]

He does take years of hiatus which I'm sure helps him story board lol

[@j-rey-]

​@@CJ739compared to the 13 years it has taken George RR Martin to still be writing the 6th book in the ASOIAF series, Togashi's hiatuses are very reasonable.

[@j-rey-]

This is why I am actually glad to a certain extent that Togashi takes so many hiatuses. It wouldn't be possible to write this story week to week, or perhaps even month to month. This is the type of story that really needs GRRM-esque levels of time and planning to execute properly. If he rushed this, it would be an absolute mess.

[@trifectaofchris]

Emperor Time is such a well crafted and thematically fitting upgrade to Kurapika’s abilities. The fact that it can remain active while he is unconscious is absolutely diabolical and another unique spin on conditional power that Togashi excels at. This man has really created a monumental amount of work for himself as well as setting expectations sky high for this arc and I couldn’t be more thrilled to see where it takes us.

[@99onone50]

haven't seen anyone talk about this, but there is a way for him to live. if he consumes nitro rice, he can spam emperor time indefinitely as long as he has a continuous supply. even if he eats it once, that should be enough to nearly reset his lifespan.

[@micahmcfadden8082]

[@Prrojiya17]

Does it really matter?? 5 years isn't much anyways

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

In my opinion, seeing kurapikas current condition. leorio is definitely gonna use his hatsu to shut off kurapikas aura nodes and stop emperor time.

[@brandandixon3943]

The only hope

[@SolidSnake240]

That would be cool but then Kura wouldn't be able to fight. Maybe after he accomplishes his goals and then Leorio "heals" him.

[@Yunakimi8]

That will be an asshole move. It's not Leorio's decision to make.

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

​@@Yunakimi8i don't mean for the entire arc. Just for a chapter or two to talk some sense into him so he doesn't self destruct in his path

[@j-rey-]

​​​​@@AhmedHussain-ju6xd And also if Kurapika passes out again while still in Emperor Time 😂. He can prevent another 9 hours of losing his life while unconscious. Although I wonder if his hatsu could do something like that. Idk if aura nodes are physical constructs in the body, and if so, idk if Leorio's aura pulses he can emit would be able to do something like close them. From what I remember, he can do things like use them to break up tumors or something, but not advanced and nuanced manipulation of physical constructs in the body

[@IgOg777]

You just boombarded HxH content

[@danveerkalirai6855]

I think it'd be funny if Kurapika confronts Tserriednich and he just apologises and gives him the eyes back.

[@mz1929]

ALL THIS and Kurapika STILL has NO IDEA the ENTIRE Phantom Troupe is On Board.... i so desperately want him to go FULL John Wick and drop out and not give AF about the princes and just go full blood bath revenge

[@ashtonbrimhall5416]

He did explicitly state that he was going to do that in one of his other videos

[@scofield1154]

Kurapika could go to extreme lengths to win this contest and retrieve those eyes, massively reducing his life span, which could then be artificially fixed with nitro rice, similar to Gon's crashout

[@stvn9728]

The past couple of days I’ve been watching your succession war arc videos to Freshen up, all I can say is thank you for keeping HxH alive

[@TheLastCrow5150]

Wild Theory: Melody finds the 'Sonata of Darkness' from Tserriednich's collection and he gives it to her since he really wants to hear it. Mellody plays it for Tserriednich. Melody doesn't die though. Turns out if you play the piece perfect to a willing audience. It strengthens the aura of the audience but Tserriednich becomes even stronger; Melody's body completely heals. But... Everyone around her can sense an absolutely ominous threat. Tserriednich strengthens frighteningly fast and masters nen to an unbelievable power. His nen beast becomes ever worse. As for Theta... idk. Tserriednich seems to building a liking towards her... not the 'art' part. More like affection. Man, he still have another beast too. This is going to get nuts. Or melody finds the music and sacrifices herself to unalive Tserriednich. Damn it, Togashi lol

[@99onone50]

ok.. cool fic i guess?

[@patrickzalatoris3206]

Really hope one day we see melody's true appearance

Now this is a rare comparison of different cool thingies- Been marathoning alot of your videos for like 3 days (just found you, loved HxH since like 2009) SO. Finished this video, and randomly decided to watch the original The Matrix, i know the rules and realities are different yadayadapereperepere BUT its kind of cool to think that IF there were nen in the Matrix continuity, Neo couldnt become The One before pulling a Hisoka and dying, then receiving the post-mortem nen? Again, strange fanfic comparison but i just HAPPENED to watch them back to back lol

[@thejmr]

maybe Chrollo will join forces with Kurabica to defeat the 4th prince ? i dont know but the way the prince progressing and developing techniques they may have to

[@Solace-Guillotine-4140]

It would be interesting and with how Baby Prince Wobble needs all the help it creates an interesting dilemma for Kurapika. He has to choose between letting his hatred towards the Phantom Troupe or letting his desire/duty to keep the prince safe control his actions. Plus if the Chroll-Oito sibling theory is true Chrollo might be willing to help. And it would be interesting for Kurapika to realize that he has been protecting the family of the man who killed his. Not to mention, Kurapika's drowsing chain can pinpoint the location of people. Which could be useful in locating a certain horny clown for Chrollo so it's a win-win situation.

[@thejmr]

@@Solace-Guillotine-4140 indeed a big twist in the story which we know Togashi might go for

[@geekroom2365]

Only thing I'd see them doing is the chrollo vs hisoka ova. No way they'll bring the anime back without even having one completed arc. Once dark Continent starts in the manga, maybe they'll animate succession war. But that's a ways away 😔

[@MedusaLegend]

Now I have a question. In York New, the phantom troup had stolen the scarlet eyes, the mac Guffin of the arc. What happened to that pair? Did Kurapika managed to get it or will it be the final boss?

[@patricknez7258]

i need to see how this arc develops. for me, this is one of most interesting stories and I'm dying to see what happens. I lean towards Kurapika surviving on some lv, but at what cost, and on what lv? idk. I do feel he could die or lose his nen forever and then some.. or become a death nen ghost thing idk.. we all know whose head that is, and what's gonna happen to a point, but what happens from there, is what I'm super curious to see

[@frankmills1917]

I saw in the probable future that you may be making an hour long recap of what has happened post-anime and before the new chapters.

[@JakeMatthews-OnLo]

Imagine Kurapika finally confronts the 4th prince and finds out he actually Values and appreciates the eyes and respects the history of his clan, most likely won’t but it would be funny if he has more respect for them and says he’s not anymore different from Kurapika who has them sitting on a shelf like him.
