----------------------------------------
Ah looks like the expedition is about to begin soon. I wonder what kind of abilities the Zodiacs will show. Same for Beyond Nero as well..Kurapika meets the Zodiacs at last. That's something. Also, it seems Ging felt the huge aura coming from before.

Pariston's smile always brightens that gloomy atmosphere though LOL

Really interesting chapter; Togashi living up to the dream.

I'm guessing Rank A threats can't be dealt by conventional means (nen, and bombs).

lol even the bomb didn't kill meryem in one shot...it was the poison. within that time he could have wiped out the half the world.

this manga is by far the best one out right now. there is no cheesey fillers or annoying story lines to take up time and space.

So we finally learn about what type of hunters the Zodiacs are. Now I'm excited to see them in action. And this theory also looks legit now since we learned that there is maybe a mole. I wish we could get a new chapter every single day. ;-;

What is Ging made of? he can do anything so far, and what is he planing...
this chapters are being amazing so far, it's about time to start the expedition, but there is still no word from Killua, and almost nothing about Gon, we need more from them!

Pretty good chapter, will we perhaps get a peek at Ging and Pariston's hatsu next chapter? Looks like Kurapika is already making waves in the month since joining the Zodiacs. Also, I love that Ging says one of his purposes for being there is to stop Pariston, when the person in question is right behind him!

Kurapika is leader of the Nostrade clan, I called it a month ago. http://puu.sh/a40DJ/08e8db0b8b.png
I wonder what happened to Nostrade and Neon? If you think about it, Kuroro after nen remover with lovely ghost writer would be OP, and Kurapika already realized it was stolen. So Neon has to die somehow, therefore I made this back in 2012. http://imgur.com/a/8Mefa

Togashi is such a troll, I thought we'd finally see Ging's ability but he's just fooling around with bubbles lol. But there's biscuit transmutation training to make number 0-9 while running, maybe Ging is transmutation type just like Killua & Hisoka? However, Togashi previously tried to fool readers that Ging is emission akin to Yuusuke. http://i.imgur.com/NwO8tEu.jpg Hell, he's gotta be a specialist, I can't wait for the next chapter dammit!

Also No.2 is very important if you'd read Togashi's previous work. http://puu.sh/9JJFg/207d7c5b2e.jpg Probably to do with nen ability or a contract with the magical beast gatekeepers since Beyond is gone.

I love relaxed moments. Like Ging showing his ability and me going "oh shit that's definitely a comolex spirit gun", but nope, just a troll moment.
Yet it could still be used. So much to think about in one panel.

Hunter x hunter truly feels like it's triple the content of the next longest weekly jump. And I'm loving every small bit of it.


The more I read about DC and the election the more I appreciate CA.
Everything is being revealed to connect somehow to another thing. This whole thing appears to have been planned at least during the NGL. If not during Whale Island.

And dat ending was hilarious, "we want an answer #1 Partison #2 Ging" "How about #3 leave #4 die" XD

Also, Ants were only Ranked B O_O

I really hope Hisoka can play a role in this arc D:

I wonder how powerful were those who explored the "Dark Continent" and what killed them was it diseases? giant animals? are all creatures in the continent like the chimera ants.

Another interesting set up chapter for whats coming. I really get the feeling that this arc is just going to be an enormous scale, it certainly is looking like that.

So we finally get an idea of just how lethal the enemies are over there at the dark continent, ranking them even higher the chimera ants. Can you imagine an enemy stronger then Merium.

These last few chapters have been some what a little of the slow pacing, but im still liking all of the exposition and building that togashi is revealing with the staggering amounts of info dumps. Its like one person said on here, its like reading 20 chapters of bleach. Still, i can't wait till there expedition actually starts.

Kurapika being quick-witted as always and he is noob in the hunter association politics even Pariston is impressed. I remember people saying that he would be of no help in when he was invited on youtube. Folks are eating their words now. I'm so glad that he is back!!

Also this turned in to a game of ''who's the mole'' for me, I trust nobody other than Kurapika, Leorio and Cheadle. Yes even Cow is a suspect :P

I am not sure about you guys, but the Ants was overrated(Yeah it still dangerous). It so obvious that queen was a loser who flee from DC. It started to out of control because the queen got all those fodder human to eat thus her next generation so overpowered + nen.

So it just makes sense whoever can drift away that ant queen from DC are more dangerous.

But for at least Pitou, Youpi, and Meruem. Probably they able to survive in DC.

For the mole? If it's in the zodiac, i probably suspect that horse the most.

I can't wait for the conflict begin. At least show me Pariston or Ging hatsu, damn it. I afraid that their ability is something absurd like Biscuit's Cookie-chan. that will be the greatest troll. XD

Nice, makes sense. That said, what I love about HxH is that it's hard to guess what's gonna happen. I think most people's theories I've seen up till now have been false. This could be true though because this seems like something Togashi did or used as a hint.

I know that you know that wasn't made by Togashi, right? lol I was also betting on Ging being an Emitter but Specialist would be my second guess now. Noticed in this chapter how the guys were sort of admiring him more but he is pretty talented. He doesn't seem like the type to be a specialist though. Also, many mofos hate him for being a child neglecting father and only caring about having fun. Maybe you'd like to participate in this thread guessing the nen types of the characters?

that is some serous commitment right there.

I always kind of wondered bout this. The fact that the enemies from the DC might have more of a characterized identity that will possibly be exposed at some point in time. For example the enemies over at the DC, might have some similar division like the Hunter association and maybe even a ring leader. In fact the invasion of the chimera ants might of been even executed in that fashion.

rather then just being monsters, don't get me wrong, the whole evolution aspect of the chimera ants, there species habitats, behaviors and everything was just immensely interesting.

But i some times wonder if there is a more humanistic feel to there species and something thtat has at a time been originally created hundreds of years ago before even the humans. I would like if togashi would elaborate on this whole concept with the hxh universe. But not create something so far fetched that its like DBZ.

I think it should be noted that it just means Chimera ants in general. Once they actually had a hive full of human-based chimera ants, it probably went up to or exceeded the other calamities. No other calamity has been mentioned to nearly wipe out an entire nation and kill the chairman of the hunter's association in the time frame of a couple months. They all seem to have a greater "base" threat-level than the chimera ants, but nothing has yet triggered an uncontrollable event, which seems very... fortuitous.

(just pointing out the patterns all these days so far)

i'm loving every chapters so far, it's loaded with contents, teases, and slowly guide you into the conflicts (no good vs bad, just two conflicted sides), power structures...everything that made the HxH world so rich and fun, even if it's mostly politics. And we're eased into getting to know Beyond's group one by one as well as the Zodiacs....it just felt like the HxH world just keeps on expanding with all these different Hunters.

I can't stand Pariston so far but I'm getting his appeal now, with all juicy and enticing mind games with Ging (I'd ship these two!). Already there're these Dumbledore-Snape theory

I'm guessing sooner or later we'll see quite a few enemies who will surpass Meruem on this continent. They sent Netero to deal with Meruem even though who was no longer the strongest hunter. Also Beyond may surpass his father's prime(which we haven't even seen yet).

It'll make logical sense if some of creatures in the Dark Continent surpass Meruem in terms of strength(though they'll probably lack Nen) cause like someone said before, he was probably from an inferior race of ants and the beasts are probably even stronger than the ants. Though I would of loved the idea that Meruem could of conquered the world had he not learned compassion and other emotions, not been poisoned and continued to evolve and that humanity was just lucky. Though the rankings for who is the top 5 hunters haven't been shown and he was probably weaker than some or all of the those hunters and Netero, Knov, and Morel were believed to be adequate.

Maybe I'm just being a fanboy, but I loved Meruem character development and his exponential growth. Hopefully Togashi gives the future characters great personalities and character development like he did with Meruem without feeling like a repeat of events.

To all people debating about Ging's Nen type, the description made by Hisoka about the association between personalities and nen-type would make him an specialist with no argument. http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Nen

As of enemies and further ado I'd definitely expect stronger opponents, but that's just obvious since we're also dealing with stronger main characters.

I still gotta say that this chapter made me have a higher estimation of the zodiacs' worth, so to speak, specially towards a certain expectation from what Leorio could learn from Cheaddle and Geru; since he's the most incompetent main character Togashi could lift his skills over the situation enveloping this arch...

However I am very concerned about Killua and Alluka, it's been some time since they've gone out of the picture and Illumi is not someone to take lightly.

Great chapter. Gotta say, I really like Pariston more and more. He is a douche full of intriguing intentions, but what the great character!

Kurapika is just great. Never doubt his power to deserve a place in the Zodiacs. That being said, I wonder why Leorio is there. I mean, he is no great nen user as far as it has being shown. I'm afraid Togashi will do something to him to give to others characters motif to do stuff.

Well, how could I live so long without Togashi's work?

Hard to say who is the traitor...investigation field could be ideal for a spy, so the Horse? Or Bobotai, since he looks faithful and well respected in the association?

Kurapika has always been smart and now he's showing it to Pariston and the Zodiac too. Very good that his role is not just eye-retrieval focused. About being the boss of the Nostrad family, I guess I couldn't expect nonetheless from him, he was already the right-hand man before the previous boss began to decline.
