Why would Uvo think that Kurapika's chains were real, if he saw and felt them literaly increase in size?

Isn't that something that only a conjured object would be able to do? Or can you take a regular knife, infuse it with nen and make the blade grow longer and stronger?

I don't think that's the case. Am I trippin?

Be honest with your post. He's a great character but there must be something that pisses you off about him.

I've been absolutely blown away for years by Togashi's ability of conveying emotions through facial expression no matter how good/bad the art style is. Even mere scratches and chaos can give off the vibe that Togashi wants to transfer to the reader. This page, took all of that to a whole new level. Not only did he drew an extremely detailed piece of meat with a slit in the middle, but the way he drew Borksen's resigned face is just incredible. At first she held onto hope that Morena can be "fixed", but the more Morena went on in her explanation the more defeated Borksen looked. She basically knew there was no way in trying to change Morena's mind. Not to mention that smile.... that smile on Morena's face while talking. It's like a calm smile that is hiding unbelievable amounts of hatred and pain and thoughts of revenge. Probably my fav Succession War panel next to Halkenburg's awakening.

When I found out Canary wasn’t black and just based on a random idol i felt…sad :(

If there are more let me know, its always interesting to see where Togashi takes his inspo from

The rest of the creators of Greed Island look. Especially Togashi self-insert character Dwun man. I bet using anime logic the strongest and meanest looking among the bunch which is Razor is actually the weakest among them or something.

Considering that he is the main character now and his plot point involves multiple important characters such as Hisoka, The Troupe and Zoldycks and HA members, would it be fair to say he along with Gon are the protags?

Kurapika and chrollo's story isn't just evil vs good or about vengeance, their characters represent your moral compass depending on who you'd prefer or side with The phantom troupe slaughtered all 128 villagers, mutilated and tortured them to force their eyes to turn Scarlet, and ripped the eyes out of their corpses to sell on the black market. Children had to be mutilated in front of their loved ones so they experienced the deepest despair and sadness just so their eyes could turn scarlet, intensifying their emotions by hurting those most precious to them so they experience the same pain as they did when they were children and disregarded, a city made into a junk yard, orphans thrown there as nothing more than junk with no documents or official identities to humanize them, treated as toys for the rich and evil to commit their crimes, forced to see their own friend dismembered as children. Some might say the phantom troupes evil crimes can be justified, hurting the evil and corrupt just the way they did them-actions fueled by their own past forced upon them where one could say they don't know any better other than to give what they received. As for kurapika having vengeance put on his shoulder and burdened with grief, forced into hatred and the desire for revenge his entire life goal and nen ability is purely based on the phantom troupe, no way to live if justice hasn't been served to his people. Collecting their eyes and killing those who made them suffer is the only thing he's willing to live for and also willing to risk his own life span to have enough power to kill them

to choose one side is hard because you'd be disregarding one of them and have their life worth more than the other, ones story deeper and more painful even though both are forced to walk a path they didn't choose

EDIT: Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough in the post but my point was, kurapika has seen better, experienced better and received better so he can give those positive emotions back to others because he understands them and feels them, he's also experienced the bad side of the world and he knows how to give it back, but because he's had better he knows better, knowing better is to throw his rage at those who killed his people not others. And for the PT i was implying that they've never had the better of the world, they didn't receive kindness, forgiveness, love, acknowledgement and ect, the only thing they've ever had is torture, dehumanization, evil and so on, they don't know how to be like kurapika because they never had what kurapika did, both kurapika and the phantom troupe are giving the world what they received and what they experienced

( sorry for not making myself more clear in the original post but i never meant to justify their wrong actions and who's right or wrong, i just simply meant you can empathize with both of them and choosing one side while fully hating the other is not right )

I was collecting the 3in1 editions up until volume 15, when I switched to buying the individual volumes. The very first one I read today (volume 16) already has an error starting from chapter 160. It suddenly jumped back to chapter 124…
I’ll probably wait for the 3in1s to be released from now on.

Leorio is the healthiest person in HxH. Everyone else wants something extreme: revenge, battle, adventure, domination, identity, transcendence.
Leorio wants to become a doctor because people die when they are poor.
That sounds simple, but in HxH, basic human decency is almost radical.
