Leaulux said: Pretty sure your just looking to hard into things and are misinterprating you having a different opinion of a groupMy resolve is this - The Anime Market has been over-saturated with these Super Villain characters that has desensitized us, the viewers. Essentially, Hunter x Hunter is a very late bloomer due to being rebooted so late in the game. In the late 1990's and early 2000's, I would of probably had higher acclaim for the Phantom Troupe. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| If we're just comparing evil Shonen Supervillain groups, what makes the Phantom Troupe stand out for me is the sense of camaraderie between each of the members and how they feel like real people. That's why I found them sympathetic yet evil/badass at the same time when I first read the Yorknew arc. No backstory for cheap characterization just excellent writing and characters from Togashi's mind. We see a wide array of emotions within various characters in the Phantom Troupe Using Nobunaga as one example - Pissed at his teammates for thinking of leaving him in the nen bag just to make room in the car - Grieving at the loss of his best friend Uvogin - Laughter and happiness at the antics of Gon and Killua Similar groups in shonen have that mustache twirling villain feel where they are the kind of antagonists you'd see in a old James Bond movie when all the villains are gathered around the huge table plotting what dastardly deeds to do next. The 1st Austin Powers movie spoofs that trope quite nicely actually. |

| Wtf man... Nobunaga and Phinks are complete badasses. Phinks runs around snapping motherfuckin necks... How isn't that intimidating. Hybridbloodszak said: - Laughter and happiness at the antics of Gon and Killua Originally he just liked Gon for the fact his personality was so similar to Uvogin's being an enhancer and all... They added Killua in to make him look more like a child molester. |

| I'm extremally biased towards the Troupe, first of all, Yorkshin is hands down my favorite HxH arc, the way everything turns and all the twists, the PT designs are so cool, honestly, and i think is awesome the fact that they are cold-blooded murderers but still have such a believable bond with each other, they feel so human. You can call everything i writed bullshit or useless, but in the end the true is that the Troupe are f* awesome. |
| awesome |
| I think PT is kinda stupidly exaggerated by author as "final boss" sort of villain. Mafia was the one who control the continent and each has some sort of strong bodyguards. Yet, these so-called bodyguards single-handedly killed by one of the member. They even kill all the mafia bosses like it is nothing. If they wanted to, I believe they can even control whole continent. The power balance suck sometime. |
