No Netero stated he was off to get 'an old acquaintance'.
He'll be back with style soon.
Indeed, it should be even more epic in animated form.

hmm maybe I missed this. Do you remember the episode?
No unfortunately I don't. I can't even remember if it was Netero himself talking or Morel and Knov talking about him.
Edit : Ah I got it backwards, Netero talked about seeing the old friend back in episode 92.
The last we saw of him was meditating on the rock, lol.

Sorry to go kinda off-topic but I have a question. Looking at the covers for several Hunter X Hunter games there is a blonde character who appears on several games including the PS2 one. Anybody know the story behind who he is?

Thanks! I couldn't seem to find anything about him. Interesting how he lasted from the GBC to PS2 in four games.

Manga guys, without spoiling me I guess, haha. How far into this arc are we, in general.
2/3s. First act is Kite->Birth of King. Second is the prep for the assault. Third starts now.
Fairly short, compared to the ant arc.
Then that's it until Togashi gets off his lasy arse.
It's short. If you want to know exactly in terms of chapters, it's about
30
Yeah, it's really good. It's also a great followup after the Chimera Ant arc, it's very different and fresh.
The manga stops 1 chapter into the next arc (the one following the post-Chimera Arc.)
The next arc's ending certainly reads as though it was actually intended to be a series finale if necessary. They'll just stop there.
Hopefully, they'll just stop.

I'd love if Togashi just admitted to himself that he's never going to finish the manga, and instead came onboard as head writer for the anime so that the story can continue at a reasonable pace. But I also think that it's a crazy and unprecedented idea.
There's no point in doing filler. It could be years before the manga starts up again. The manga is just dead at this point.

Wait, when was the last chapter released? How long has the current hiatus been?

Just how lenient is shonen jump on their writers? doesnt togashi know that he has a job?
Yup. There's no pulse.
Technically the last chapters were two special Kurapika chapters for the movie, released in December 2012, so about a year ago. They were basically flashback chapters to tie into and promote the movie.
The last proper chapter before those was released in March 2012, if I'm not mistaken. So yeah.
Togashi gets to do whatever he wants because he's special.

Whoa, so going onto almost 2 years since last chapter. That's pretty long.
Togashi carried Jump on his back after dragonball ended. The man can do whatever the fuck he wants.
I don't know but its fucking bizarre.
He basically does whatever he pleases and Jump tolerates him.
I don't know what other job in the world you could get away with such bullshit.
Special means $$$, in case that wasn't clear.
I think even Oda couldn't get away with the stuff Togashi has done.
Especially now that Naruto and Bleach are coming to an end.
That supposes it's the art that takes Togashi so long. I don't know about that.
I hear there's a bunch of writers, composers, movie directors, etc, out there who get away with working at different paces. Crazy!
Maybe he's waiting for both Naruto and Bleach to end, then he releases a bunch of volumes right after both those series go out.
LOL Oda will get away from same thing if he decide to.
Jump is very lenient because HxH still #2 after one piece for tankoubon seller even with all these hiatus.
And they always make it like superbowl event when Togashi putting an chapter.

While I hate all the hiatuses that this manga gets, at least the Chimera Ant arc was finished. I was really afraid that I would never see the end of it, the 1y~2y hiatuses were pretty painful.
The current hiatus only set up one chapter for the next arc, making this waiting game much more bearable. That being said, I would love to at least know what the fuck Togashi is doing right now.

I suppose he is paid per job. He doesn't write, he isn't paid.
Which, given he is already rich, doesn't matter a lot for him.
Just the royalties of YYH, HxH, and Sailor Moon should be enough to have a nice family income.
Oh snap a pizza!
From 19th November 2012 to the 17th of November 2013, the Hunter X Hunter manga sold over 4 million copies and came 8th on the top selling Manga list of 2013. Just think of how many more he could of sold if he consistently put out chapters. Isn't that enough motivation for him to start making chapters again?

As upandaway has mentioned, and if I recall correctly, this is the start of HxH's looong hiatus streaks. For 80 weeks (According to this), the last of HxH was this panel.
Edit: Huh, could've sworn I cut that out.

This is depressing.
The worst of it wasn't even the fact that this was the longest hiatus, or that it was such a cliffhanger - the worst part was that no one was really sure what's going on with the manga, it was the first time it took such a hiatus and Jump said absolutely nothing the whole time. People really thought it's never coming back.
It was only later established that HxH will take consecutive hiatuses in the scale of a year, after it happened at least twice. Back then it was a hell of uncertainty. Seeing this episode brought it all back for me so I had to bring it up, haha. Didn't know they had a hiatus chart.

Man that is crazy, something tells me this new sailor moon anime is just gonna keep him on hiatus, or maybe it will inspire him to write more chapters to see animated who knows lol
Oda wishes he was on Togashi's level. Even when the man is doing scribbles it's still the best shounen ever.
