Is still don't get if Greed Island is the real world or not and how this game world was overlain on the real world

It's a real island, and all the mechanics, NPCs, and monsters are nen constructs overlaid on top of the island.

Oh shit, we're already getting into percentages??

 

[Shard]

Remember this was the result of things like the rules of the Dragonballs changing by the episode.

 

[ckohler]

This is a lot of "yo"s

Yeeeep.

The answer lies in the heart of battle, after all.

 

[Xe4]

Isn't Gyo when it's just in your eyes?

 

[Mik317]

I forgot all these terms yall....so don't worry too much

 

[B-Dubs]

Togashi went into this manga thinking "What if I give endless explanations for how the power system works instead of just letting people accept it. Screw suspension of disbelief!"

Man loves his RPGs

Is still don't get if Greed Island is the real world or not and how this game world was overlain on the real world

I completely forgot that was even the case when I read the manga. I guess I didn't care that much. Greed Island bored the crap out of me in the manga.

All I remember is a shit ton of text and training... and a game... and an uncomfortable naked scene...

Watching the anime is giving me a much needed new appreciation for Hunter X Hunter.

 

[Morlas]

they sure are taking their sweet ass time with this game

 

[Regiruler]

Why does every single fucking mechanic in this show have to be a single syllable and sound alike. This shit is confusing.

 

[Moaradin]

I forgot all these terms yall....so don't worry too much

It's more important that you know the concept than the actual names.

 

[cntr]

I enjoy the nen system a lot, but yes, Togashi could work on his exposition skills.

Unusually, the anime is an improvement from the manga!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS
TO DEFEAT
THE GAME!

 

[HStallion]

I actually love how well thought out but how simple Nen is. A lot of this makes perfect sense especially to people who played a lot of RPGs. Aura is basically your pool of MP or whatever you want to call it but you have to actually determine where, when and how you use it.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Yes, a lot of time is passing during this episode. So far 1 month has passed since they defeated the Bubble Horse and started this next level of training.

 

[ramoisdead]

I really hope this part of the arc ends. It's not capturing me like the York New one or even the training aspects of the Heaven's Arena arc.

 

[Morlas]

when they're done with their training will they be ready to hunt a Barroth?

 

[BatDan]

This Harley voice isn't right.
Then again I've heard this movie isn't good.

Man loves his RPGs

Indeed. Perhaps he can teach a protege to make a (not) Dragon Quest manga

 

[Shard]

Oh neat, they remembered Floronic Man.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I enjoy the nen system a lot, but yes, Togashi could work on his exposition skills.

Unusually, the anime is an improvement from the manga!

Wasn't the Yu Yu Hakusho's anime better than the manga?

It seems to be a pattern for his shows from what I've heard.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

this has been some next level ass-covering

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

It's a vast improvement.

Reading the current chapters as they come out is assuring me of that even more.

I read through all of this but watching this feels like a completely different experience all together.

Also, I don't dislike Killua anymore. I'm astonished it's changed my opinion of the series so much.

 

[Tacorona72]

We fast now.

 

[Schadenfreude]

You guys don't have to remember any of this shit really. Just remember that it's training.

 

[Shard]

this has been some next level ass-covering

Somebody really didn't want to make a mistake on the level of trying to take death seriously minutes after wishing a whole bunch of people back.

 

[Morlas]

hey bisky changed her hair

 

[Zonic]

Someone turned on turbo mode for their fight.

 

[Man God]

She finally changed her hair.

 

[cntr]

I find nen pretty easy to understand, but Togashi doesn't explain it super well.

CHARTS.

Yeah, it's really well-executed. My favorite energy system in Shonen manga.

 

[B-Dubs]

They gonna break some rocks

 

[SparksterMeta0]

TEST YOUR MIGHT!

 

[BatDan]

Why is Killua training in Enhancing when he's a Transmutor?

 

[TheOGB]

"Dude's check it out, these guys are breaking rocks with rocks!"

 

[bigkrev]

Half hour of breaking rocks lettgo

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Why is Killua training in Enhancing when he's a Transmutor?

It's still right next to his nen type, its good to level up your surrounding types.

 

[Morlas]

Training weaknesses to make your strengths better basically

 

[HStallion]

Gon and Killua are really positive work out buddies.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Wasn't the Yu Yu Hakusho's anime better than the manga?

It seems to be a pattern for his shows from what I've heard.

As someone who owns the entire Yu Yu Hakusho manga... yeah, sort of. Kinda. The first two volumes all have individual stories that aren't in the anime. The rest is about the same only it's more gorey.

However, the manga REALLY shits the bed at the final arc. So hard that the anime had no choice but to give it a better ending.

 

[Shard]

They actually called it Ja Ken Pon.

 

[BatDan]

THIS PART IS IMPORTANT

It's still right next to his nen type, its good to level up your surrounding types.

Fair point.

 

[B-Dubs]

Why is Killua training in Enhancing when he's a Transmutor?

You gotta learn to do everything or you'll be deficient. Nen abilities can also combine multiple Nen-types. So just because you're one thing it doesn't mean you don't need to know the rest.

 

[cntr]

Why is Killua training in Enhancing when he's a Transmutor?

It's a neighboring category to Transmuter.

But ideally, you learn something from all 5 main categories.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Jan Ken Po exposition time

 

[TheOGB]

Random interesting trivia!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Signigture move time

 

[Schadenfreude]

Is that real?

 

[ramoisdead]

I guess we're getting into the deadly art of Rock Paper Scissors.
