I'm expecting he'll get the message once he learns the lengths that Leorio, the only other survivor to the Dark Continent, went to to bring him out of his comatose state brought on by the dolphin.

I've kinda thought that the feminine/cross-dressy stuff with Kurapika would eventually lead to an incidental reveal that he's gay at some point. Just because it takes his current situation w/ being the last of his clan and quadruples down on it, since the option to have kids and reboot the clan would be off the table.
Well every arc that HxH goes on hiatus is terrible :P
Just you wait until it happens right before a big fight, then you will know true pain.
But yeah this one is especially text heavy with a lot of information and people, it makes it hard to keep up with.
Why do people actually think Gyro is coming back and wasn't just some throwaway world-building character?
Togashi has a panel in the manga that says Gon and Gyro are fated to have a meeting.
Characters like Gyro are not created to be throwaway, he has arc villain written all over him, he will be back.
Also Welfin and the other 2 went after him, sooner or later we will see them again.
Togashi did too much to hype up Gyro as a force of nature for him to never come back to the character. The sheer fact he was able to break the Queen's hold over him through pure force of will means he's most likely a a beastly Nen user and now with a Chimera Ant body on top of that.
Hell no lol. Gyro is gonna be the endgame. He and Gon are destined to meet.
I was rereading the Arc, and decided to do a summary for myself. Here it is!
The condition for the Succession War is "The one sole survivor will be the official successor to the throne". How it's interpreted could also be part of the succession war. Can you drop out? Do you have to kill the rest? It's 100% clear.

Kuwabara is not man enough for this tournament. Also go look for the YYH thread and keep it alive please.
I heard some really cool, smart, and talented guy made a YYH thread.
At least six of those words are true.

He made it. I just asked across like two different threads if someone could make one.

The guy was so cool and got smoked, Hiei was not fucking around went all out from the beginning.
Haha. That shit was real as fuck. Dragon of the Darkness Flame is pure hype. One of the best attacks in shonen.
To be honest with all the hiatuses it makes it really hard to appreciate the intricacies of this arc without multiple re-reads. Really looking forward to Togashi making enough chapters for an anime continuation to clear this up. The Chimera Ant arc was the same way for me in publication.
We're a few years away from the material getting adapted in anime form. Unless of course Togashi really picks up the release schedule of course which would be great but I'm not getting my hopes up. Depending on how long the boat arc goes that could be its only season of the anime.
It's definitely down to either Hiei or Kurama. Those killer plants are gnarly.
True. Some of what Kurama ends up using is downright nightmare fuel.
I think there's about a season or two worth of material from where the anime left off to where we are now. Though, I would definitely say they should let the boat arc finish before adapting it.
I can already think of a pretty big one, actually.
It seems like she needs to be killed by an attacker on purpose for it to activate. If that's the case, then the ability poses no threat whatsoever to someone that is fighting not to kill.
Seeing as
her power is cat themed that it involves the idea of 9 lives. Could be a hard limit on how many times it can be used
You're acting like BS power ups aren't a staple of this series.
I honestly don't see this (or much of what we've seen in HxH for that matter) as BS powerups. Almost every ability has a weakness or a big restriction for the user. Situations can sometimes play out conveniently to move the story into an interesting direction, but there's no mystical Ancient Sage/Hollow/Quincy/Arrancar/Demon ancestry or SSJ type stuff here, which is what feels like actual BS to me.
We already know that technology was enough to take out Meruem, but it's refreshing to see that a single Nen user could've also defeated him despite not being particularly strong in the traditional sense.

A staple of the series is literally the more conditions and restrictions a person has on their ability the stronger it is. So yea, a BS ability with no weakness would be out of left field.
