DARK CONTINENT ARC

What do you guys think of the Dark Continent arc? Is anyone else excited?

The original crew may finally be reunited with the return of Leorio and Kurapika and we might also get to see Ging fucking shit up too which is interesting seeing as he's such as mysterious character.

I personally believe Chrollo Lucilfer may return as he's been out for quite awhile and with this we'd see more of the spider troupe in action as well in addition to Kurapika's appearance. It looks like many unexplored characters and realms of the HxH world will be revealed in this arc!

What are your thoughts and predictions of future events?

I think that Killua might kill Feitan.

If you don't know already Feitan's name might be based off the Greek mythological figure Phaethon, son of Oceanid Clymene and the solar deity Apollo aka Helios. The evidence is pretty much in his ability that he used to kill Zazan. Rising Sun, the ability to transmute his pain into heat which he emits in the air to create a sun.

Now in the mythology, Phaethon goes to his mother for confirmation that his father is in fact Helios, the sun god. His mother assures him then tells him to visit Helios so he can confirm it himself. He asked Helios for proof that he was his child and Helios grants him whatever he wanted. Phaethon insisted that he drive the chariot that Helios uses to move the sun. Phaethon lost control of the horses and to prevent the earth from being burned Zeus killed him with a thunderbolt.

There's only one user who can use lightning and that's Killua, another Transmuter who can change his aura into electricity. So what do you guys think? Will Feitan be killed by Killua?

For now, I'm just excited at the possibilities of the characters we already know are in this arc. Hopefully, we'll finally see Kurapika's last chain and, yeah, I would personally love if the Troupe was involved somehow. Though I'm not going to get to amped up for stuff that may or may not happen. I'll just let Togashi take me where he wants.

This is where hunter x hunter truly begins. It's gonna be epic, even if gon and killua aren't in it.

Just need the phantom troupe in there and it will be the best. I love those guys.

People keep acting like Gon/Killua aren't gonna be in this arc at all. I don't understand where that thought process comes from.

I cant wait for this ark!! It's going to be so epic and finally we'll get to see some of our favourite characters again. And if Ging comes in and makes some mindblowing moves my life will be complete.

It's be nice to see more of what Chrollo is capable of, he hasnt shown much yet, only that he is strong and smart. I want to see why he'd be able to beat netero. Speaking of which, i hope they would build more upon hisoka and showw off more of his skillsets, because back then he was very keen on fighting Netero without know what the chairman was capable of! Do you think he sensed Neteros power? Would he even last a second? And if he has a showdown against Chrollo in the future, who will win?

As for my ideas for this arc? Well I can think all I want but Togashi will probably surprise me again. The thing I love most about hunter is that this is a deconstructed shounen. Its rich, imaginative and mature. I can usually predict what will happen in a series. In case of HxH though you always end up shocked!
Its not a typical shounen... For me its more like Osamu Tezuka's Hi no Tori - an authors lifetime work.

Togashi is really building this arc towards something pretty grand. The set up and world building in these last few chapters has been excellent and really shows the lvl of urgency this dark continent entails. Also the fact that the dark continent is in fact the entire world and everything we ever knew that took place with in the series/manga, was in fact an island isolated from the outside world. It kind brings to question just how did the world become shrouded in this kind of darkness and also what dangers lie in weight if its something immense, will humanity ever find a way to escape to freedom and reclaim the rest of there lands?

This is of course thinking far ahead but its just something that has been weighing on my mind and this might be something that togashi might be exploring further down the line.

Also with the recent chapter, the significance of leoro and kurapica's role in this arc is just going to be amazing. After all people from wiki disregarded them as main characters especially leoro. I like the fact that togashi is giving him a much higher role this time around.

I really don't even care at this point if gon/killua is not in the arc, we just watched an entire arc where they took pretty much center stage in nearly every event in the CA arc. So the lack of them won't really phase me one bit.

The only thing i have to worry bout now is if togashi can keep up the momentum and it doesn't end up like berserk.

Did Leorio not use nen to attack Ging in the Election arc?

xZoldyck said:

Agreed, I think HxH is one of the most unpredictable series out there. I like how people like Netero actually die and it's not always the good guys that somehow prevail without making major sacrificies (e.g. Fairy Tail).

I definitely want to see Killua's reaction to his own family member being in the Ryodan and how that'll unfold when Kurapika may aim to kill Kalluto as part of his vengeance. I reckon Hisoka will definitely appear in this arc and fuck shit up like always and if any of the other Zoldycks would appear it'd be Illumi seeing as he's got his eyes set on Alluka and is allies with Hisoka.

the thing that bothers me about the dark continent is why the humans cannot take surveillance satellites or surveillance drones on the dark continent to demystify it and make a better map of the dark continent, i hope Togashi will answer that question or im calling a plot hole about it considering the humans have the technology to do it anyway
