That casual "rumor has it a criminal ring slipped onto the ship"
I desperately want there to be a boring ass chapter with Kurapika just walking around the boat checking things out and then right at the end he turns the corner and he's face to face with Chrollo.
How fuckin hype would that be.

I'm fine with it. From this point forward I think the story can work well with a rotating cast of characters. I imagine after the Dark Continent we'll get an arc involving Gon and Ant Kite anyway.
Though I wonder what happens once they actually get to the Dark Continent? I figure shit is going to hit the fan as soon as they make landing their and most people will find themselves hopelessly outclassed and wanting to get the hell out of Dodge. Other than Ging, Beyond, Biscuit, Chrollo, and maybe some of the Zodiac, I don't think anyone will be able to do much of anything, and I don't imagine Biscuit and Chrollo wanting to stick around considering that their motivations don't lie in reaching the Dark Continent in the first place.
Yeah, the actual Dark Continent is going be an absolute slaughter. I don't think anyone is truly prepared outside Beyond (unless Ging went in secret). I can just see all the careful, and meticulous preparation done by the different factions involved going to complete shit. Once they encounter some of these organisms . . . I shiver to think about it. I have obsessed over that double page spread showing the Dark Continent in Chapter 344. I really cannot wait, because it looks absolutely chaotic. And that's not taking the Calamities into account at all!
Knowing Togashi the boat will get halfway and turn around and the DC will never be mentioned again or they get there and it was all a giant lie about the crazy monsters and incredible resources. I could just see them sailing out to the DC and just coming back around to the other side of the "known" world. Maybe believing in the Dark Continent is like being a Flat Earther or Hollow Earth believer in the HxH world haha

the whale was the dark continent all along
if we go with my time skip theory then maybe kite, gon and killua end up going to the dark continent together. this time around they all go as equals and we find out what happened to all the hunters. i don't see togashi sending killua or gon back to the dark continent if he shows it all off with ging and the others. the fun part about the dark continent will be finding all these horrors for the first time and seeing how people handle them.
But people have already been there, including Beyond
This what one of many things a love about togashi, you never know with him.
His isn't the type of author that's afraid to do story not involving his main character.
Well I was being mostly facetious but I do like how Togashi sets things up only to have them not turn out at all like you expect. Maybe Beyond is a lying crazy man and the boat hits a rocky out cropping and sinks lol
Yeah, too bad Linnet (the cute girl) aged waaaaaay more than Netero and barely speaks anymore, otherwise she could have been a nice nugget of information for the Hunter association on what to expect beyond "place is huge".
He'll reveal himself as Dong Freeccs.

So how many years will we spend on this boat? Will Berserk finally be surpassed for longest boat ride ever?

Depends on the amount of 2-year hiatuses we'll be getting before the end
I wonder if Beyond's team will mingle with the chaos or if they will lay low until arrival at the DC, 2 months later. I imagine their specific skills, selected by Beyond for the journey, will be better equipped to deal with the calamities than the Zodiacs, but that won't help much if they croak during the trip...
Also, I guess we've already had a bit of a timeskip as of now. It's been 11 months between CA's end and the departure of the ship and it'll be another 2 months until that ship reaches the contintent. If the focus goes back to Gon and Killua after that they'll probably be a bit taller atleast.
Yes, they should be on the ship.
There will be two different boat arcs, so it depends if you'll combine that time or not. Who knows, we could spend a significant amount of time on the Virtual Continent too.
Shit, Kite never even came into my mind for this arc. He would definitely be a valuable asset with superhuman durability. Palm too.
That would amazing.
Just how many people are going on this trip? It seems like they're taking huge swaths of random civilians as well as the Princes and everyone else. Are they planning on trying to colonize the Dark Continent right off the bat even with its history?

Until they find out the baby IS the Prize that Chrollo wants to steal, duh duh DUH!
Thats what I think. Maybe some people are just in it for the expedition. I didn't realize how many normal people would be going.
.
This is such a troll by Kakin and the V5, especially with the epic introduction at the beginning of the last chapter lol
Btw are both Kakin and V5 on the Black Whale?
yeah everybody is there. once they reach the fake continent everybody will likely get on the ship on top of the whale and go meet the people that will be guiding everybody to the dark continent.

Also the mommy gonna die so the baby's stando can be unleashed.
Did they talk about why are both the factions on the same boat?
I remember something like Kakin letting V5 tag along because it's the latter that is giving permission to the kingdom to departure over the non intervention agreement, but i'm not sure it's right.
T-minus 3 more chapters before 5 year hiatus.
Assistants.
I thought Togashi does as much of the manga as he can by himself with the occasional rumor of his wife helping him now and again? I heard he was like Miura and took insane pride in doing everything himself.
Togashi and Miura both have assistants.
Miura's don't do all that much and he often goes over their work afterwards to make corrections and adjustments as he see's fit. They tend to do minor detail work like adding faces on crowds of hundreds of people.
Apparently when he's really stressed out, he feels the need to do everything himself. I gotta imagine his wife or someone is helping him out with the latest chapters.
Damn does he every do positive updates anymore?
Any update that's not "going on indefinite hiatus" is a positive update imo.

Someone needs to get Togashi on that DDP Yoga...
Damn straight.
Like I wish him good health and all and I hope continuing the series isn't causing him adverse issues, but I would be lying if I didn't admit that I was completely selfish in wanting this run to go on as long as possible. I'm just happy that he's accepted help and is churning out supreme quality again. *knocks on wood*
I wish Togashi all the best, but this has been a really good run these past few months hahaha. Still, the last thing I want is for him to be killing himself doing this series, no matter how good it is. But shit, I'm not even invoking the "H" word. Knock on all the wood, Togashi has just been dynamite.
Seriously. Can't be that expensive to ship a few DVDs to Japan.
I honestly and truly would rather have him go bi-weekly or monthly if it even means any measure of consistency. Much better to get 12 chapters a year than no chapters for 2 years.
Edit: That being said, I'm very curious as to the capabilities of Prince's nen guards. I hope they aren't scrubs and can put up a fight against the Spiders and Hisoka.
