Youpi is such a fascinating character for me I love the growth he goes through in this fight its one of things I have been looking forward to see animated most.
Edit: Also Silva's voice sounds a lot like Hanma Yujiro

Cheetu. 
The same artist also did another Hunter x Hunter picture in the style of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. But yeah, this pacing could use some improvement. I'm still enjoying the arc, but does the speed pick up soon?

lol Hisoka is already fabulous enough to fit right in.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I just wanted to post on how good it felt to see someone finally silence that loud mouth. It's only fitting that things ended for him so unceremoniously
Really? From the little I can remember about how the arc progresses, I'd say there are at least 20 episodes left.

If Killua got his own spinoff it'd be called Emo x Emo.
The arc has about 30 chapters left. The pacing so far has been 2 chapters per episode, give or take half a chapter, so if the pacing stays somewhat consistent we should have around 15 episodes left for this arc.

Looking at this fanart, HXH's artstyle isnt actually too far off from DBZ's artstyle.

If you think nothing happens because there aren't big fights, I recommend you dropping the series...
Chapter 108 page 6.
I quick checked online I'd say it's something like volume 13 or 14, I'm not close to my volumes right now so I can't exactly pinpoint the volume for you.
Interestingly the version you can find online is based on the French translation by Kana (because there's plenty of drawings with stuffs like Renforcement/Emission/Materialisation/Specialisation/Transformation which are all French translations)...I think I'll stop using that place...
What a great episode. Knuckle getting all pissed off was fucking awesome, was really hoping to see him do something but I knew he was way in over his head and so did he when he saw Youpi lol. Great scene with Silva lol. Can't wait to see what Pouf is going to do and I really want to see the King and Netero duke it out. Wonder what will happen with Killua.

Wow, Cheetu got literally stomped. Ouch! I didn't expect Silva to show up. I thought it was a dragon dive trick.
Pacing ain't so bad in this ep, but I still wish there were more "show than tell" parts like Cheetu. It's what I loved for the first 2/3 of this arc.

Probably not. The last arc is too tied with the Chimera Ant arc, so I'm guessing they will animate it. They will probably ignore chapter 340(the last one right now) or make some changes just to have an "ending".
I was just saying that the end of this arc would be a perfect place to see the manga return. I doubt it will though

I dont think the minuscule disc sales are really a factor that they are using in determining the fate of the anime after this arc.
I had no qualms with the pacing for the first 100-odd episodes, waiting for a big fight then I'll watch all these episodes one after another (got 3 saved up so far).

Just to pick up gramps?
He and Zeno appear to work as a duo.

It is also possible that Silva would have stepped in if it was necessary to accomplish the objective they were hired for (things could've gone down very differently).

Ah, I see it. I'll have to check out the original JP ones later. It's Vol 12 it looks like.

They? Zeno was the only one hired while Silva was just there standing by. Doubt he would've gone in on emotion anyway. They really are strictly hired assassin's. If Silva wasn't getting paid, he would've let Zeno and Netero die if they were in trouble. Remember the Chrollo fight; he attempted to kill both Zeno and Chrollo with no hesitation. Dude just said "understood" after Zeno asked him to kill them both when he had the chance.

And Illumi was indirectly working against them and they didn't even bat an eye.
It's a family business- it's not like they won't see a cut of the money.

I guess I wasn't clear on when they explicitly said who was or wasn't hired, I may have missed something though.
As far as the being willing to kill both Zeno and Chrollo thing goes, I don't think it's quite an identical situation. That simply showed that carrying out the mission they're hired for is a higher priority than survival. It doesn't necessarily reveal a preference to stand there and watch each other die if it wouldn't interfere with accomplishing the mission. That may or may not be the case.

I always assumed Silva was just there to pick up Zeno after the mission was completed, which is pretty much what he did.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty obvious. He even came with the giant bird/dragon thing Zeno and Netero arrived on.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
He needs a ride. His dragon car is currently in use.

You misunderstood me.
I'm saying that "waiting for a big fight" is a fool's errand in HxH. After 340 manga chapters and after >115 anime episodes, the series have only a handful of fights, relatively speaking. Most of them are in fact in the "short" range, compared with most shounen works.
The closest thing to a big fight that HxH have is... the fight you are watching right now! the Youpi fight.
Though I'm starting to think you wrote "big fights" but your complaint isn't about them, but the pacing. The pacing won't improve because the "feature" here is a extremely detailed narration where the author examines every character, both main and secondary, every action, every thought, every feeling, with great detail.
I would say that the Gon vs Hisoka fight in Heavens Arena would be the the best representation of a traditional shonen fight in this show.
Love how Zeno dodges the rocks.
I would like to see what Zeno could do using the full extent of his abilities. I was hoping he would be the one to
kill Cheetu.
HXH 116
Dat role reversal,Gon is blinded by his rage and frustration but who can blame him after he worked so hard and suffered so long to get this unlikely pportunity to get revenged for kite.
Pitou is caught in a situation where his defenseless since healing takes up all his aura leaving him with nothing to defend himself with, while he tries to save some young girls life, which in turn makes gon even more angry and frustrated, that monster he was prepared to fight is doing the most unlikely of things forcing him to be unable to carry out his built up rage.
HXH 117 Pride > the world - fuck the world, it can eat a dick when me and my bro pride is in on the line - which is pretty much what Kuckle is saying.
This is My Big Fight, Shoot & Knuckle are the best bro duo and they've quickly worked they way up to being my favorite HXH characters along with morel and Youbi is a freakish killing monstrosity, his ability to freely morph his body into varies terrifying killing modes makes him my top royal guard (youbi > shia >pitou).
Knuckle be like "shiiiiiiiiiit Nope nope nope"
-RIP poor cheetu, may you test out your new ability in ant heaven.

Just a warning to anime only watchers like me who plan on importing J-Stars Victory VS, Killua seems to use a new technique that I haven't heard him say before. I hope it's revealed before the game comes out.

Agreed.

Togashi should just quit the manga and just give all the plot points/character designs to the anime team.
Do you really think the art is what takes him so long?
The writing/dialogue is much easier- it's sort of clear by the next arc that he has a ton of ideas in the can just waiting to come out. He just can't work a weekly pace.
If your really interested in manga making, you should check out Bakuman. It's follows 2 young adults that try to become manga authors, the creative team that made Bakuman is the same as Death Note.
But short answer, yes. The author writes and draws the chapter each week. However Togashi hasn't written a chapter in over a year. And HxH Manga is currently on hiatus.
Edit: But that's because he's in WEEKLY Shonen Jump. There's other venues for manga chapters such as monthly Shonen jump, etc. where there is 1 chapter per month (40 pages or some compared to the normal 20).
Edit 2: @ Below, usually when they get serialized, they have chapter 2 and 3 ready for week 2 and 3. So when chapter 1 comes out they'd be working on chapter 4. In this sense they do have "reserves" I suppose. But they also have deadlines they have to meet, etc. Again, I recommend reading or watching Bakuman. It shows how difficult it is to create and keep working on manga.

I never knew the answer to this question either. I'd imagine they have 2-3 chapters in reserve, though. I could be wrong.
EDIT: Answered above. That is pretty tough for the artists. Props to Kishi, dude is mad consistent.
That is why I asked if they do a few at the beginning of a month or something in case something comes up. Having to write and draw each week would be a pain haha
Thank you Veep and Jigolo
edit: I'll definitely check out Bakuman. Thank you
Dude!
I mean, it depends on the series, naturally, but in this case...
Possibly, but even then it takes a lot more than just ideas to come up with a good plot.
The mediocrity probably helps quite a bit though.
Kishi? Try Oda, guy's an absolute beast.

The guy who does Fairy Tail is the real beast..sure its mostly rubbish but sometime he has more than one chapters per week
