I just started watching Hunter X Hunter, on episode 22. And I've just noticed the obvious character plot lines, story lines character traits that Naruto has blatantly ripped off. Wtf

It's just shocking cause it's not even like Kishimoto took inspiration from it, he like stole ideas from Hunter X Hunter and claimed them as his own. I know there's been a small group of people that have been saying this for years, but how it hasn't become a bigger issue? Why hasn't the creator of Hunter X Hunter come out and say anything?

Fortunately Kishi didn't copy Togashi laziness.

It only ripped off like two concepts and they aren't original concepts.

*Training exams have been a trope of shounen for years
*A person focused on avenging their clan isn't a new concept
*Red eyes abilities have been done before

I'm not understanding everyone's response to my thread, do you guys refuse to acknowledge this, or do you just find stealing someone elses work not that big of a deal? I don't get it. This has me really upset, cause I've supported the theft of another mans work for several years and I'm just realizing this now

It's not just training exams, it's the way the training exams unfolded from an exam in a forest to an indoor dojo, from hisoka encountering his prey and releasing it to see it flourish. Very much like orochimaru and sasuke. Orochimaru is very similar to Hisoka. gon not knowing his dad, Naruto's whole character was ripped from Gon, Gon wanting to save his friend who apparently has a darker path that he needs saving from, the special eyes who's entire clan was killed and wants revenge, to the white haired kids brother for telling his destiny. Like just in 22 episodes, so many different things were stolen from Kishimimoto.

Yea but Nen is just a ripoff of Hamon/Stands from JoJo along with Ki from Dragonball so HxH is hardly original.

The difference is he took inspirational from several anime. Versus what Kishimoto did which was get all of his ideas from one anime and then not even alcnolwddge it after

Inspirationa is like Hey I like Dragonball, so I'm going make Gon a hardheaded underdog that tends to get out of tough situations using his wits, but you know what let me add a different dynamic to that, let's make him a positive soul that never turns back on his friends, and has the polarizing ability to turn any non believer into a believer . Stealing is more like hey I like Hunter X Hunter so I'm going to make Naruto's like Gon, I also like Hunter exams so let me make chunning exams, oh and I like how they had a forest exam so le me do that, oh and when Hisoka encountered the main characters and let them go to see their potential flourish, that was awesome so let me take that! And might as well make Orochimaru creepy just like him! And let the forest exams lead to a fighting tournament in an indoor Dojo. Ok and sasuke, well he's very un interesting so let me give him "special eyes", oh right and his entire clan was killed off because of those eyes so let's make him set out for revenge! Where have I seen this before, eh whatever. Oh and let me give Naruto a friend who has a dark path, with an older brother who shadows over him and keeps influencing him to go down that dark path, and then let me make Gon, I'm sorry I mean Naruto! Silly me, let him be that friend that wants to save him at all costs..,and let this be the story line that Il going to run with for 9 years!

Hey Kishimoto, what were your inspirations for Naruto? Oh um...let me think, Dragonball and Akira.

Have you ever read Hunter X Hunter, Kishimoto?

Never even heard of it, what the fuck is a Hunter x Hunter?

I don't think HxH is a ripoff of JoJo. Maybe Kiseijuu, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya or even Bleach, but not JoJo.

While I agree Kishimoto took many ideas from HxH, that was only at the beginning. It later got enough original ideas to be it's own thing.

Besides if you want to be really technical Naruto was made before Hunter X Hunter.

One could technically argue Kishimoto had those ideas in his head before Togashi put them on paper.

There was even a manga by Kishimoto called Karakuri with red eyes abilities in 1997 (before Hunter x Hunter)
