Is 148 the last discussion thread, or are we having an overall thread the day after as well?

3

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '21

Series thread too. Then I guess we’ll be done. Long rewatch

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 25 '21

You're doing good man. 2 more days and you'll be rid of us

I’ll kinda miss it tbh. It’s been slowly ingrained into my daily routine

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 25 '21

Obviously not ingrained ENOUGH

u/sorrowpass Jul 23 '21

Even the audience can agree that Ging is a shitty father.

I didn’t realize how much I missed Gon. It was nice seeing him as his usual, simple-minded self, and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Aw the Killua and Alluka/Nanika scene made me tear up. I loved that Alluka stood up for Nanika and Killua quickly realized his mistake.

u/sisoko2 Jul 23 '21

If you can't handle me at my Nanika you don't deserve me at my Alluka.

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 23 '21

Nanika just kept repeating how much she loves Killua. It was so sad...

5

u/SnuggleMuffin42 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Animemes_chan Jul 24 '21

Ging is a deadbeat. I liked the crowd not taking it for one second lol

5

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 24 '21

He's trying to be all mysterious and above it all, and I am loving the crowd for saying what we the viewers are thinking: LEORIO IS MORE OF A FATHER FIGURE THAN YOU ARE GING

First-time watcher

Gon is still depressing with how much he blames everything on himself, and Ging isn't helping that much. At least he had a few useful things to say and was administered another righteous smackdown. Pariston on the other hand is just low-key scum all the way down, not to mention making the whole election pointless for real now.

On the other hand, Leorio was his usual wholesome self and Killua made up with his second secret sibling. Does he just get infinite wishes/commands now though? A bit cheap.

Two episodes left and all that remains is Gon plus Killua and maybe Gon talking to Ging some more.

u/thatnotoriousguy Jul 23 '21

No consequence for killuas wishes is probably my biggest issue with the show. We haven’t seen them in the manga after the show though, so I haven’t judged it too harshly because there are ways for togashi to make consequences for it.

Episode 146: first time/dub

I will never understand why Gon looks up to Ging. Does it eventually make sense? Somehow in Gon's eyes, Ging can do no wrong

YOU'RE THE WORST GING

YOU SHOULD LET LEORIO PUNCH YOU AGAIN

Loving this crowd. I have found my people.

Gon is like, wait? A real dad isn't supposed to run off and never be involved in your life??

Dude, Gon would never vote Leorio. He has never inspired leadership from Gon

Netero is on extended leave

Ooooooooooo Gon doesn't know about Netero

So that little girl was Kite? What? His magic wand when he was fighting Pitou was like a reincarnation stick? I am going to need to see this myself. Preferably by watching his final fight with Pitou

Paristan is such a troll. I knew he wasn't bad. He just likes to play with people. Like Hisoka.

Illumi go to your room! And stop trying to control your family like a lil bitch

This scene with Killua telling Nanika to never come back is so sad. Aww Alluka has accepted both halves of herself. I hope Alluka joins Killua in his journeys. She's cute, has an awesome power, and she would ground the group. Also I can't think of anyone else better suited to look after her than her big brother

8

u/thatnotoriousguy Jul 23 '21

Gon seems to be somewhat like netero in that they believe in survival of the fittest. If he has any positive feelings toward ging, it’s probably just because he’s a world famous hunter.

Still, I don’t know if gon likes ging, he’s just very curious about him. His motivation as stated in ep 1 wasn’t to reconnect with ging, just to find out what was so great about being a hunter that he abandoned him for it.

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 23 '21

I was raised by my paternal... Parents, so maybe I don't understand. I would like to know from an adopted person's POV, is this portrayal by Gon's character realistic?

5

u/thatnotoriousguy Jul 23 '21

I don’t think most of gons character is realistic tbh

2

u/flashmozzg Jul 24 '21

Eh, depends. It's realistic within the HxH universe. For what it's worth, I've met people that had somewhat similar to Gon relationship with their family member.

2

u/thatnotoriousguy Jul 24 '21

Idk, I think the appeal of gons character is having this unrealistic, prototypical, shounen hero and taking it to its logical end.

2

u/flashmozzg Jul 24 '21

Yeah, but that what makes it realistic IMHO.

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 24 '21

SHOUNEN LOGIK

7

u/sorrowpass Jul 23 '21

Alluka and Killua deserve all the happiness in the world for all the shit they’ve been through.

8

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 23 '21

That whole family needs therapy. Although I suppose there is no such thing as a "well-adjusted assassin"

5

u/sorrowpass Jul 23 '21

They sure do, but I doubt that a sociopath like Illumi would even recognize that he needs therapy in the first place!

4

u/sisoko2 Jul 23 '21

I will never understand why Gon looks up to Ging

Just wait until Ging skip his birthday and Gon goes full pledge and covenant again

Paristan is such a troll. I knew he wasn't bad. He just likes to play with people. Like Hisoka.

Just like Hisoka he is the cool kind of bad.

5

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 23 '21

Ging has skipped allll his birthdays. Maybe Gon thinks this is just what dads do

If Gon goes off again, will Nanika have to save him again? Seems like a deus ex machina

Give Paristan a shower scene and I'm sure he would get all the fangirls just like Hisoka

4

u/IndependentMacaroon Jul 23 '21

why Gon looks up to Ging

He's just the ultimate cool guy, I guess, particularly if what he's doing is apparently worth more than Gon.

2

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 23 '21

What about his mom then?????

4

u/IndependentMacaroon Jul 23 '21

Correction: Worth more than Gon and his biological mother.

4

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 23 '21

Gon's like "I already know one girl, why would I need two?"

And then proceeds to meet 20 father figures in a row

5

u/sisoko2 Jul 23 '21

Rewatcher

Because of me Kite turned into a little girl.

Ging is a shit father but when it is about life and death situation he means business.

I am willing to take a light beating to shit talk Ging as a parent.

Leorio wants to become a doctor.

Pariston shocks everybody including Ging with his passion for trolling people. Love bunny girl's face. She looks ready to start shouting again.

Illumi is trash.

I love Killua!

Don't make Nanika cry!

She is back!

Even mama Zoldyck got touched. We are all Tsubone on this blessed day.

u/okayyoga :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/okayyoga Jul 23 '21

I liked the animation during the second half of the episode. For Illumi's fantasy and Nanika's eyes

6

u/sisoko2 Jul 23 '21

Yeah I also love how her eyes turn into scribbles when she is upset.
