Gon-san was a mistake, no matter what you say one sided fights are always terrible. Instead of having a smart fight with Gon and Killua taking advantage of Pitou job of protective Komugi, we see power level wankery like Ichigo Post-Dangai.
Also another missed opportunity is that we don't see the rest of the battle between Pituo and Kite.
How was it one sided when pitou ripped his arm off?
Don't care what people are gonna say, I'll never believe that Togashi initially did not intend for HxH to end here. The power up was there because Togashi thought that was going to be it for HxH because it wasn't popular enough to warrant a continuation.
>Togashi thought that was going to be it for HxH because it wasn't popular enough to warrant a continuation.
The series was selling well even when Togashi was publishing doodles at certain points during that arc. The only reason Shueisha allows Togashi this much freedom with his godly contract is because whenever HxH publishes a new volume it still sells.
He posted it again. MOM!
OP I agree with you when it comes to not seeing Pitou vs Kite being a massive missed opportunity but Gon San was amazing.
I never really considered it a fight though so that probably explains why I'm not at all disapointed by it. I also don't really see Killua doing something like letting Komugi die for the chance to attack Pitou as satisfying or in character.
Dedicated fanbase.
Togashi wanted a One Piece but realised people weren't biting so he loses motivation and this is why we find ourselves waiting for content by the drop.
If HxH made as much of a bang as SnK or built up to become near OP level of popularity, the manga would not have been stuck for ages.

The "fight" was trash. Netero could have killed Pitou instantly, there was no point in flicking her back. She was only flicked back so gon could have his "fight" and go asspul super saiyan.
Honestly, gon should have died. His price for that power should have been his life. That would have at least made sense. Not some bullshit "potential future" that turns him into a mummy which gets literally wished away and cured. Don't give me that bullshit that he will not be able to use nen again. Its clear this bitch will be back and get some magic nen fixing bullshit.
Gon-san was fine. It was cathartic to see him brutalized her after what he went through.
I guess you think that Arrancar Ichigo vs Ulquiorra Segunda Etapa wasn't one sided either, the scene is basically the same, Ulquiorra's corpse cuts Ichigo's horn when he was talking with his love interest at the end of the fight.
Netero couldn’t kill Neferpitou instantly. Netero knocked her away precisely because he couldn’t end the fight quickly. The hunter team’s purpose was to distract the royal guards because Netero wouldn’t be able to defeat Meruem with even one of the guards with him. That was their mindset.
Nah, the mistake was making the Alluka solution too safe. I’m sure the repercussions of Gon losing his nen will be explored later, but right now we’re stuck on the boat, so it’ll be a long time until we see if Gon was affected mentally or not.
>no matter what you say one sided fights are always terrible
why? what's bad about a fight being one sided? not all fights can be equal and one sided fights are bound to happen and I can't think of one off the top of my head that wasn't at least some what entertaining seeing someone wreck shop and completely over power someone especially if they were the one who was at one point the one getting completely overpowered is fun
You guys really think the series will end?
I think it's just like GoT there's no plan and the author doesn't care
>no matter what you say one sided fights are always terrible
brainlet, stopped reading there.

We are talking Netero, he could have summoned the hands and crushed her to nothing in less than a second. She had high dex and str, but her def was not super powerful.
Ment was the tank, Pitou was the fighter and Shaia was the magician. She was a fighter, not a tank.
>the only reason this was possible was because he was born super special with lots of "potential" like all the shonen MCs
is this where we cope by saying it's a deconstruction?
>We are talking Netero, he could have summoned the hands and [headcanon]
You're literally making stuff up.
Once again you underestimate the power of the royal guards. Netero still considered the royal guards as threats due to their large aura amounts that surpassed Netero. One slap from Netero only managed to push back Neferpitou, there was no damage. Neferpitou even managed to get back to the area immediately.
can you explain why being born special with lots of "potential" is bad?
I don't get it how is that a bad thing?
>>We are talking Netero, he could have summoned the hands and [headcanon]
>
>You're literally making stuff up.
Ok, he can summon a fucking giant statue and crush her. There, feel better? Or are you going to say that is headconnon too?
How do you know Netero could crush her so easily when he wasn't even close to crushing Meruem?
>Once again you underestimate the power of the royal guards. Netero still considered the royal guards as threats due to their large aura amounts that surpassed Netero.

Because he slapped her back and did not put any effort into it. If he did the statue + handcrush like he did with the king, I seriously doubt she would have survived. Remember, he can do this in a split second. He did not even try.
When Netero did that to Neferpitou, no damage happened to Neferpitou. Neferpitou even managed to recover in just a few seconds back to Meruem with no injuries.
>How do you know Netero could crush her so easily when he wasn't even close to crushing Meruem?
Cause gon crushed her face with one slow punch. Netero could have hit her dozens of times before she could react. Meruem is the top of the food chain, he is way stronger than all of his gaurds.
That’s headcanon. Netero has already shown that he considers the royal guards as threats, otherwise Netero wouldn’t have gotten the hunter team to distract the royal guards.
>That’s headcanon. Netero has already shown that he considers the royal guards as threats, otherwise Netero wouldn’t have gotten the hunter team to distract the royal guards.
Oh, this is "headcannon", but gon gets an asspul god power is justified. Right...right...
So you believe that Gon-san's janken is equal to a Netero slap?
>When Netero did that to Neferpitou, no damage happened to Neferpitou. Neferpitou even managed to recover in just a few seconds back to Meruem with no injuries.
Because he literally only flickerd he away, he was not serious. Even the manga/anime showed he looked down on her and was not seriously.
I’m just saying that Netero wouldn’t have told the hunters to distract the royal guards if they weren’t threats towards him.
>So you believe that Gon-san's janken is equal to a Netero slap?
I should be asking you that. You think gon's asspul is slap is equal to netero hits?
>How do you know Netero could crush her so easily when he wasn't even close to crushing Meruem?
user, you know that Pitou is a lot weaker than Meruem, right?
Nope because Netero immediately after that said that he hopes that Neferpitou doesn’t come back. Which was of course negated since Neferpitou came back immediately just as fast as Netero and Zeno when both of them had a head start.
So he hit her with enough force to literally send her flying miles, but also with not enough force to do any damage to her whatsoever? Does Netero have two different slaps? A damaging one and a distance one?
Gon’s power surpasses Netero’s attacks. Meruem didn’t even care about Netero’s attacks.
>I wish she doesn't come back... to attack people weaker than me
Yes, the point is if Netero's Bhudda can't even put a scratch on Meruem, why is it fair to think that Netero could instantly crush Pitou despite no evidence for it?
>Why a baseball doesn't brake when you trow it?
>So he hit her with enough force to literally send her flying miles, but also with not enough force to do any damage to her whatsoever? Does Netero have two different slaps? A damaging one and a distance one?
There is the slap, and then there is the bitchslap. He did the second.
If that were the case he wouldn’t have sent her away. But that was the only thing he could do because Netero could never defeat her.
elaborate
You can't compare Meruem and Pitou, though. Besides, Netero already gave Pitou a half-assed slap that sent her careening. The old man could easily merc the catgirl
>Netero could never defeat her.
HAHAHAHA
Zazan also mutilated herself for a revenge power up.
Kurapika burns away life-span for Emperor Time.
There is a literal suicide squad of characters in the current arc that can pull off a death curse that is guaranteed to kill the target in a few days if they commit suicide while touching the target.
Gon-san is that strong due to his unique talent. But 1) that is the only reason he managed to learn Nen in a month anyway. 2) Pitou was that strong due to her birth conditions too.
I see so you were not being serious. Good, I was beginning to think you were actually that stupid.
>You can't compare Meruem and Pitou, though. Besides, Netero already gave Pitou a half-assed slap that sent her careening. The old man could easily merc the catgirl
This, people are acting like Pitou is the same level as Meruem.
Pitou suffered no damages
Meruem's attacks are strong enough to kill Pitou (this was stated) and Netero's Bhudda is stronger than Meruem (showed)
If that were the case he wouldn’t have had the hunter team distract Neferpitou. But Netero was scared of facing the royal guards so he didn’t have a choice.

>half-assed slap
She was so below Netero that Netero didn't care if she was alive or dead. Her existence was completely inconsequential to him
But that’s not true because Neferpitou didn’t take any damage from Netero’s attacks.
>Netero already gave Pitou a half-assed slap that sent her careening
Prove it was a half-assed slap. Pitou took no damage, she was just sent flying, which is literally the exact same thing that happened to Meruem.
> Netero's Bhudda is stronger than Meruem (showed)
So you believe that Netero's Bhudda can kill things that Meruem can't?
See You can trow something without applying blunt force on the thing.
