York Shin City translates to York New City, which is just New York City.
Pariston Hill is a Paris Hilton joke.
I don't think there's anything beyond that.

Oh, there would be more.
For example, "Masadoru Deigo" (or however they spelled that name in the subs) is very likely to be a reference to Kim Jong-il.
In Chinese characters, the name "Kim Jong-il" is written "金 正日". So you have "金", that is to say "gold", or "ゴールド" / "gōrudo" in Japanese, then "正", which can be pronounced as "マサ" / "masa" in Japanese, and finally "日", meaning "day", which would in turn be pronounced "デイ" / "dei" in Japanese. Rearrange all those, and you get the name "マサドルデイーゴ" / "Masadorudeīgo".

Now explain Zoldick.

I'm still not sure what your hang-up is with that one, actually?

Well for one thing, for the longest time I thought it was supposed to be Zodiac, and really it just nagged me for the longest time because of that 'L' in the name.

I was rewatching episodes of the anime last night. Man I can't wait till the dub on Toonami gets to the Phantom Troupe. That entire fight between Chrollo and Zeno and Silva was fucking great.

Can't wait for Toonami to see how legit old ass dudes are in HxH. "It's just some old ass man, how dangerous can he be? FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!"

 

[Tizoc]

Silva/Silver looks like David Bowie now that I think about it.

BTW anyone played any Hunter X Hunter video games released on PSOne onwards, etc.? Any of them good?

Also Hisoka being invigorated by Gon in their Heavens Arena duel is some uncomfrotable shit.

They still ain't got no idea what Netero is packing.

That isn't even the best awkward Hisoka moment

Just Gon and Killua's eyes during this part were fucking hilarious.

I love when Hisoka loses his murder boner when he hears Chrollo got his Nen sealed.

They still don't even know exactly what they're watching yet.

 

[Yonafunu]

Oh, there would be more.

Oh sorry, I was just talking about those two specifically.

 

[Daingurse]

They still don't even know exactly what they're watching yet.

LOl yep. Toonami folks are only just now learning about the basics of Nen. They haven't seen SHIT.

Are they passed Gon getting his ass kicked by top dude yet? I still lol at people not liking Killua in there. It's Killua. How do you not like Killua? I like him more than Gon. They should be fine at the Gon vs Hisoka fight though. Can't wait for them to meet Bisky.

Gon just got wrecked by Top dude and it's halfway through the Hisoka fight, this week should conclude it.

Are they enjoying the Hisoka fight? If not whelp...they better hold on to their anus' for Kurapika vs Uvogin.

 

[Moaradin]

It's at the Hisoka vs Kastro fight, not the Gon one.

 

[JadedWriter]

It's at the Hisoka vs Kastro fight, not the Gon one.

That's a good fight too actually.

 

[HStallion]

Yeah Hisoka VS Gon will be coming in a few weeks.

 

[HStallion]

Still rewatching random favorite episodes of HxH and man that dodgeball game with Razor is something that sounds like it shouldn't work at all if you were just read or hear about it but watching how Togashi handles it so well is great. I forgot how great Gon was during this whole set of episodes.

Hisoka, Gon and Killua is da fuckin' dream team. Too bad they couldn't team up more often and funny enough it was over a fucking kids game and not to stop some grand bigger evil or some shit, it was fucking dodgeball and they took that shit seriously too.

Well Razor does knock one of his own guys head right off his shoulders when he starts giving him shit.

But Razor isn't evil, Hisoka is more evil than he is. I just get a kick of out a kids game being the one thing to unite Gon, Killa and Hisoka. Though knowing what we sort of know about Hisoka it makes sense. I think even Hisoka had fun with the whole thing.

 

[Tizoc]

Y'all remember that one time Torneko Taloon was in Yorkshin working at an auction house?

In seriousness though, gotta give Togashi credit for the whole barter and auction stuff that he dedicated like a chapter or two to.

That dude looks like a Dragon Quest character. Togashi goes into detail about everything, it's scary.

Tizoc u fucker stop bumping this thread I keep hoping it's continuation news

Apologies but I'm rereading the manga and got to the part where Gon beats Genthru. That final Janken against Genthru will never not be hype.

 

[remz]

Tizoc u fucker stop bumping this thread I keep hoping it's continuation news

for real. every time i see it light up in my subs i'm like oh shit is HxH back even tho i know it isn't. being a fan is suffering

 

[JadedWriter]

*HxH manga thread got updated* "It's time to hunt...for your dreams..."

 

[BobTheFork]

Oh stop pretending you get tricked. Every time the manga updates another thread goes up right next to this one that says it's updated.

 

[HStallion]

I liked the final one during the dodgeball game. It's one of those,"This isn't his final form" moments.

 

[Daingurse]

Lol, ya'll suffering should know better. We'll know when Hunter x Hunter comes back.

If we're lucky it'll coincide when Berserk starts up again.

Togashi Spotted:

To celebrate the 35th year of her musical career, avant-garde musician Jun Togawa recently released an album alongside metal band Vampillia entitled "Watashi ga Nakou Hototogizu" ("I Will Sing Like a Cuckoo"), and now Hunter x Hunter author Yoshihiro Togashi has hopped on board to create illustrations for the collaboration.

Between the memes I've seen and the hiatuses I keep forgetting that Togashi when he feels like it can actually fucking draw.

 

[Moaradin]

Togashi doesn't fuck around sometimes

 

[JadedWriter]

I love that damn near Berserk panel.

 

[Daingurse]

I fucking love that 2 page spread. So many little details are in there. The Dark Continent is madness incarnate.

 

[SalvaPot]

Almost as good as the Turkey.

I'm ignoring the grain of salt cause I want to believe. This is the kind of news I want to see when I see this thread bumped

Way too close to April Fools for me to put any stock into that.

I think the last time he came back from the super long hiatus it was around this time. Back when Madhouse was getting to animating Meruem vs Netero, Gon-san stuff....................................
