W Hunter x Hunter

Seriouslyzapp

What a journey it has been to rewatch this entire series with you guys! The Chimera Ant Arc til this day is still in the hall of fame of anime arcs

yahdier

Hopefully the Author gets healthy enough to finish the manga or atleast get help from someone else, This story has so much potential and goes far beyond what we have seen.

Josh Ashford

What an amazing journey this has been!

Cinya

Canary is hiding Gotoh's death from Killua. Kite's brain was NEVER confirmed or even implied to have been given to the queen. People who insist on that are really just pushing conjecture/fanfiction and dismissing Ging's words from the previous episode saying one of the #s of his weapon are why he survived.

Andrea

Ahh I’m so sad it came to a end lol such a good show ❤️ personally I think it fits their characters if they go apart from the beginning Killua s adjective was to follow gon to help find his dad until he figures out what he wants to to /his main goal in life and he found that with alluka I think it’s less Killua held a grudge against gon and more this whole situation opening his eyes on just how dependent he was on him emotionally and physically so I think it’s best for both of them if they take time away from eachother so they can both grow into their own people more

The Anime Dude

Thanks for the upload! Feels like y’all just started this yesterday, crazy to think y’all are already at the end! (Of the anime.)

Joshua Moore

Hxh is a show about detours almost the whole show are detours to meet ging

Joshua Moore

Togashi also has written yu yu hakasho which is also a classic

Ahnk

Ging was actually talked over by Mito to leave Gon by her

Ah the last episode, what a journey has it been for all of us. I joined the patreon with y'all mid Chimera Ant Arc reaction and for the rest of the Hunter x Hunter episodes. Despite the show is over the story continues (also the main characters for the remaining arcs need to adapt are non-other than Kurapika and a little bit of Leorio so they gonna switch from Gon and Killua). My fav arc in the Hunter x Hunter is Yorknew City arc cause solely of the Phantom Troupe and Kurapika being the main character. Again what a journey !!! Wes and Steph your discussions are so insightful and valuable, offering new perspectives and entertainment. Can't wait with y'all for the new animes to watch cough cough (my personal pick will be Ranking of Kings with the animation Studio - Wit Studio responsible for the early Attack on Titans seasons, 1st season of Vinland Saga, and Spy x Family. )

Kasturi

Loved watching the whole anime again with you! It's kinda sad to let HXH go and wait for when Togashi finishes the next arc... slowly and steadily we will reach to that point and then bam! few more years and we might get a new season. who knows!

hellodude776

i feel like it was more killua who decided he needed to leave Gon rather than Gon abandoning him Obviously for Alluka but also for his own personal reasons I believe

Dylan Hearts

Awww, no more Wes and Steph reactions of Hunter x Hunter after this... But thank you for being such a great company for us to rewatch this truly legendary anime, it's been a fun and engaging run! I subscribed to your channel because of Alice in Borderland, but it became very quickly clear that your reaction to anything will be awesome and worthy of time because of your positive energy and passionate discussions (I just don't have enough time to watch every reaction here, otherwise I would have lol I will catch up to 86, Horimiya and My Dress Up Darling soon, though!). Also I'm happy with your analysis of Ging, it was way more than I ever saw from any reactors in the past. Majority just straight up hated him, I even remember one case where the hatred was so immense it's literally ruined the experience for me as the viewer of that reaction, I dropped that channel and never looked back cause there's enough negativity in real life to be stuffed with it online too. The way you discussed Ging was perfect - despite you not liking him for reasons you mentioned here, it was mature opinion which I can get behind even if we perceive fictional characters and value things in real life differently. That's why I like your discussions, they never feel passive-aggressive in any way, like "this is my/our opinion, get used to it", instead it's more gentle "we share with you our opinion, feel free to agree/disagree, we speak from our life experience only which can be different from yours, but it's okay". When Wes after defining your common values in life (to be in your children's lives at their most precious age where they especially need love and protection) noted that he understands other people have different set of values, so they perceive Ging and stuff in HxH from another POV, it's speaks volumes about you as a great reactors. Ironically, I think that's why you liked Togashi's writing so much: he has the quality of not pushing morale lessons on his readers the same way as you not pushing it on your viewers and providing some space to our own conclusions. I can't wait for Hunter x Hunter Q&A, looking forward to it with excitement! It'll be our small detour on the way to your whole reaction journey.

I think it was just for Alluka. Killua can't be having reckless adventures with Gon when he has to be on guard 24/7 protecting Alluka from his own family. Just like in real life, some times circumstances get in the way of the best friendships.

Semi-addict-gamer

Enjoyed the journey, gotta say though, high key for me, the second our boys splits, Hunter X Hunter didn’t have the same energy that I love about. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing Gon and Killua, but the show was at its best to me when the whole squad is together. Leoria and Kurapika were strongly missed, and their absence was felt strongly to me.

Jay

Your conversation made me think. Gin's parenting mirrors the more traditional father role. In older societies nurturing the young and making sure they grow up strong and healthy was the mother's job. While the father's role was to make them adults, ergo toughing them up and teaching them practical skills. Men used to go on expeditions, either for exploration or warfare and they could be away from home for years. it really is a very modern concept to have the father spend so much time with their kids while they are young. Not sure if this was what Togashi was going for with Ging. Maybe it was just an allegory about a dad that works all the time and doesn't have time for his home and children.

This video really felt really nostalgic because it was really a journey on its own to rewatch the show with you and listen to your theories and opinions and to see the excitement that people feel when they watch it for the first time. And i am so happy that hunter x hunter and especially the chimera ants arc left that much of a profound impact on you and made you think and develop your thoughts on the characters, the writing and the story itself. It was really an incredible yourney and i am so happy that you enjoyed it as much as i did and hearing steph saying that hunter x hunter was one of her favorite anime that she watched honestly made this whole experience feel complete and the perfect ending to an already unforgettable journey.Thanks for making the rewatch so special.

Pips

hope you guys check the movies

Alex

Sadly at the current rate, I wager at least 10 years to have enough content for more anime

Ama No Murakumo

Shouldn't Gon and Killua be like almost 14 now?? It has been more than 1.5 years since the og Hunter Exam... so weird Togashi never corrected the age.... that's litterally the ONLY thing that i don't like about this INCREDIBLE series

María

In the last part of the reaction, you talked about how Togashi builds his world and then detaches himself from it, how he’s not like a god judging the characters, but instead lets the story flow and gives the audience plenty of space to interpret it. I completely agree with that. One thing I would add, as someone who has engaged with this story for years, is that Togashi doesn’t present his views directly through the characters’ actions, rather, he expresses them through the structure of the world and the events that unfold within it. For example, when discussing the poor man’s rose (atomic bombs), the narrator mentions that it wasn’t banned because most countries voted against it, and then says something along the lines of, “hundreds of seeds wait for their chance to bloom.” Even if it reflects reality, the specific wording adds a layer of political meaning. That may just be my interpretation, but I can think of many moments where the way something is portrayed carries a strong connotation. It’s subtle, but it says a lot. I’m sad that your hxh journey has come to an end for now (I’m still hopeful that someday we’ll get the continuation of the manga animated). I subscribed to your Patreon because of hxh. You are great reactors, I love your energy, and it’s clear that you’re very well educated. I really enjoyed the perspectives and facts you shared during the reactions. That said, I’ll be following your One Piece journey from now on, and I’m sure you’re going to love it ^^

Ging is one of the most fascinating characters of the show. The themes, religious inspiration and characterization associated with Ging all merge beautifully to form a character who's probably the best personified depiction of Togashi's main message with the series. -Ging's religious inspiration : the entire premise of Hunter x Hunter is centered ono the fact that Ging abandoned his son to become a hunter and explore the world. This would indeed seem very selfish and irresponsible for most, but for the the about 4% of the world who practice Buddhism, Ging's actions would likely be more understandable, even admirable, because his own personnal journey reflects the template of the Buddha. This template promotes a disregard for responsability involving family, as the Buddha himself abandons his child and wife in order to pursue enlightenment. Through doing this, Buddha achieves Nirvana, which represents total freedom, but can only be achieved by minimizing external attachments. And this is Ging's quest in the story, to find his version of Nirvana. And what we learn in this final episode is that in his view, Nirvana itself is not found in the end goal ("that which he cannot see in front of him"), but instead though the little detours along the way to that goal. -Ging's characterization : Togashi contrasts the idea of a spiritual wanderer searching for Nirvana, and that of legendary figure that was supposed to be protagonist's end goal, with a man who's characterization is surprisingly blunt and whithdrawn, yet very bashful when he finally meets his son during the Election, which dispells the notion that he doesn't care about Gon. This contrast shows that, while he is a symbol of strenght like the story built him up to be, he is also still a human being with all his flaws. He adores doing things for fun and can be very selfish in doing so (like how he set up the election rules). This can be repulsive to outsiders, but for anyone who gets to know Ging personally, this behaviour exudes a unique type of charisma (not unlike Pariston), and people tend to gravitate towards him because of this (like Kite, and the people he recruited to form his archeological non-profit), and despite his poor social skills. -Ging's narrative and thematic role : aside from all this, the most interesting thing about Ging is that he seems to be a reflexion of Togashi himself, which makes him a very meta character. It's been said throughout the story that although he is goal oriented, Ging tends to do things on a whim for fun. Exemples of this are evident throughout the election arc and even in the rules he set up in Greed Island. Hunter x Hunter's storytelling style reflects this sort of creative "stream of consciousness" as well. The sheer variance and diversity of the arcs in the series, both in terms of themes and tone, is pretty incredible, and while it is structured well, it is not wrong to say that Togashi wanted to get as many of his creative ideas as possible in the story. This also reflects Ging's final quote about the detours being more important than the destination. The fact that the the manga will probably never conclude is sadly fitting.

Welcome to 'Hiatus x Hiatus' club , we will be waiting together for HxH progress now

Billbob

It's funny that the ending is basically Gon just being his original monkeyboy self climbing a tree just to talk to his dad about how their world is just a speck compared to the outside world. Does make me wonder wtf would happen if they tried to take a rocket to space though. And the anime mentioned it quite a few times that Gon was able to power up at the cost of everything he had in the present and future, so he sacrificed even his nen while alluka was only told to heal him which is why he would be not the most helpful to any of his friends. They extra confirm it like right after this part in the manga just in case, but yeah back to square 1 for him..

Loro Lukic

What a journey thanks guys

Pitou said that she tried to revive Kite but couldn't restore him as he was, that his soul was lost...if she gave the brain to the queen she wouldn't have that expectation to begin with, so we can deduce that the brain was never eaten by the queen Pitou probably thought that her experience with Kite was important enough to justify not giving his body to the queen, and we know from the very beginning that her actions were quite selfish, not entirely for the queen's best interest but more to satisfy her own curiosity Also, like you said, Ging mentioned the weapon, implying that the only reason why Kite is reincarnated is because of his nen (in the manga we get more examples of after-death applications of nen so it makes sense) Another thing I theorize about is that reincarnated ants like Koala, Welfin, Colt, Reina got some of their memories back, but I believe not 100% of it bc of the physical element involved (only some of the DNA got passed on), which makes them new characters in a way (Colt is an adult), despite having clear recollections of some parts of their previous lives, which makes it possible to 'go home' or 'continue the cycle'...they still have to adjust In Kite's case she seems to have all of her previous memories (a soul transfer by nen could make it so nothing is lost), the difference being that, bc she's fully aware of the body swap, the death and revival, then growing up again experience, it has an influence on her current behavior, which is similar to Koala here : he has new beliefs, a clearer mindset and goal ; so it makes sense that Koala joins the team with Kite who understands fully how he feels and is willing to provide a moral support Having inherited Meruem's twin(?)/little sis(?)'s body has to be significant and have an influence on Kite's mind in the present and on his future life as a hunter I believe Koala's monologue is also foreshadowing for another character's death and rebirth in the manga iykyk

I never hated Ging, probably bc I tried to imagine and follow his journey since childhood (I did smth similar as an adult with my own dad who left when I was very young) : He left Whale Island and his family when he was 12 to become a specific kind of hunter and only came back 10 years later... His dad disappeared mysteriously just after his departure and Mito's parents died not too long after, that means he left his own dad and extended family to pursue his dream....at 12! Did he have a good relationship with his dad? and even if they didn't have a bad one, could it be that Ging was just a special child who was so very independent from the get-go? very likely... Ging is very unique Everything he told Gon about his adventures until the discovery of the tomb happened before Gon's birth, so he was already deep into the hunter business, almost a decade of experience when he had Gon.... We also don't know the circumstances of Gon's birth at all : was it an 'accident', who is the mom, how they met, etc (there's a very interesting theory about it based on Greed Island and the cards that could explain a lot and that I kind of accepted as my head cannon😅) I think from a kid's POV, acceptance comes (or can come) from understanding : in my case learning about my dad's childhood and overall history helped me understand a lot and even though I wouldn't say my dad is a good dad (Ging is not a good dad, is he even a dad ?...) or that I don't hate that he took the decision to leave, I don't think he's a bad person, just a very flawed and weak human being who made bad choices based on his education and experiences... That's why I totally understand Gon's approach : he's not expecting Ging to be a dad after all this time (if Ging could change and only did so now I would be angry), he just wants to understand the way he thinks, what kind of person Ging is, what does he value in life that made him choose that path... so he became a hunter too The answer can be hard to hear and the truth painful to swallow but at least it's better than not knowing at all imo

choom

wait the waiver guy at the tree sounds like Askeladd/Nobunaga, never noticed that lol

Renden

I don't think Ging's behavior is really justifiable in many situations lol. Even though he discovered that he enjoyed his companions' company more than his search for the unknown, it doesn't feel like his abandonment of Gon was for any good or moral purpose. It moreso feels like Ging prioritized his own goals over his parental duties because they were inconvenient. I do agree that in the cultural situations that you guys mentioned (about fathers going off on voyages or to war) potentially could be at play here, but something tells me that's not what Ging was trying to do. Throughout the show, Ging has been shown to consistently avoid his responsibilities (or at least the ones he didn't like addressing). Just because he happened to find out retroactively that he actually DID enjoy spending time with his son (who turned out alright) doesn't mean that his "parenting style" was a good one lol. Thanks for the reaction guys, I enjoyed your watchthrough much more than my original one. You caught a lot that I had completely missed.

pylonsf4

I find your perspectives on parenting really refreshing, not a lot of other reactors who are as family oriented as you guys. Thanks for yet another fun ride <3

Barry

Thanks for watching this, I'd never have seen it only for you guys and it was amazing!

Mike Q

What an incredible journey it's been! The manga isn't over but I doubt there'd be any anime adaptation soon. Loved your reaction to this series. Honestly, it has been 10 years since I first watched HxH, and I'd forgotten what a masterpiece this anime was. You've made my first rewatch so much more interesting with your reactions, speculations, and insights!

Monkey D. Momo

I wish him the best health but his WIFE is a famous mangaka. I dont understand why he cant let himself be helped by his wife. I feel like Ging is a weird Version of himself.

Monkey D. Momo

Wait the Nen thing wasnt mentioned in the Anime? I was sure it wasnt just in the Manga but I guess my memory betrayed me.

Dylan Hearts

I think it's a different experience: writing something and drawing something are not the same in the sense that writer can simply dictate the text to his secretary (E.S. Gardner, for example, did it that way with many of his Perry Mason novels), and this will not diminish the work at all since the author keeps his own creativity untouched by anything else. But it doesn't matter if Togashi's wife is a mangaka too, as even if she tries her best, it still will be a pale copy of her husband unique talent (and drawing HxH in a vastly different style than Togashi does definitely would offend any creator). Plus by drawing himself Togashi feels useful, has a purpose in life and dealing with illness, and if somebody else instead will draw it for him, it only will make things worse. It sounds a bit morbid, but I think that's true for many people in many instances: if you're no longer capable of doing what you love the most in life, then that life becomes very depressing and pointless. Nobody wants to feel like that. So from empathy perspective I totally get why Togashi tries to prolong his ability to draw manga instead of simply delegating it to someone else.

Joshua Moore

There is a feeling of pure bliss when I watch an episode of hunter hunter there is feeling past enjoyment when i see those characters i can explain why i like an anime like stines gate but with hxh i can only explain some of it there’s this hidden unexplained feeling as soon as watch or read a chapter of hxh a feeling that comes from the bottom of my heart when i think of these characters and a feeling that nothing i watch can come close to it recently I’ve rewatched all of hxh and i enjoyed more than my first time I’ve watched hxh 8 times each time I enjoy it more and each time i hear ging talk about detours on the last episode a gigantic grin appears on my face

ruben martinez

They forgot that they showed the girl ant as Kite in an earlier episode lol but yeah he is a Queen ant

Astor Lefflinker

I think you got a lot of engagement with Hunter X Hunter because this show isn't really that focused on fights and hype moments. It's quite philosophical, and logical, and when the fights happen, they're mostly strategic. Oftentimes, they've been strategized before they happen so when they do, they end quickly. I think our longest fight was Netero vs Meruem and that was only like 1.5 episodes as opposed to most battle shonens where fights could take 4 episodes, even longer. Hunter X Hunter makes the audience think. So the fans also like reactors who do think and discuss a lot rather than just react to hype moments and fights. (SLIGHT MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD) Now that you've finished the anime, I think that it's safe to talk some stuff that's going on with the manga in connection with the story that you've just experienced. They maybe technically manga spoilers, so i'll let you guys decide if you wanna read up ahead but I think it's okay since the things that I'll say are just in the beginning of the manga after the chapter they animated in these episodes and it would take a long time before they make a "season 2" of the anime. -Nanika is is also from that "outside world" that Ging just talked about. -Gon in the current arc of the manga is not the focus. Of the crew, it's Kurapika. We barely see any Gon, and the last panel he's in, it seems like he's lost his nen as consequence of his "power up" against Pitou.

Astor Lefflinker

tbf the last time they showed Kite, she was still a little kid. In this episode she looks like a teenager. Very different looking except the red hair.

22:30 Steph: "what if he is not up there" lol that would be hilarious

vocal 200

ugh my heart can't believe it's over

Alpha

"I even remember one case where the hatred was so immense it's literally ruined the experience for me as the viewer of that reaction" which channel. Next one with intense hatred will probably be LettsReact lol

Dylan Hearts

It's not Letts React lol I know that Montana dislikes Ging a lot, but overall she and her husband Kenny are very chill, kind hearted people, so their reactions are all right. The reason why I left their channel is that they watch anime in dub and without any subs which is not comfortable for me, especially for their pricing - it's objectively higher than I can get from other reactors. I know that they pay editor and voice actress on their channel, but it's not justified the price since their discussions are short (like, couple minutes at best lol).

SoreDakeNoKoto

For Ging, I think there's not much to it -- like he said in the recording way back, he simply didn't want to settle down and raise Gon, which would mean abandoning his adventures. Doesn't mean he's not a people-person, just means he's selfish / an irresponsible father. In his defence though for a bit, he first made sure Gon would be well taken care of, and no doubt had ears on Whale Island in case anything important happened. Given Gon's idyllic / totally chill upbringing, Ging's presence would've enriched it surely, but I'm not sure it's by much, especially if results are any indication. Good times overall, glad to have finished this (again) with y'all.

Arian Abdolahy

Ging probably wouldn't be able to authentically connect to Gon because of who he is and what his passion is, if Gon woulnd't be a Pro Hunter.

Arian Abdolahy

"just means he's an irresponsible father" *goes on to mention how Ging was being responsible* I don't think anyone who sees Gon would think that he has trauma from an absent father. Gon seems like a secure attacher, doesn't seem to have attachment issues, issues with closeness or autonomy. It takes a village to raise a child. Gon had that village - everyone was cheering for him when he caught that giant fish. The qualities of being a father can be embodied by anyone and as you can observe, Gon doesn't seem to have any attachment issues or trauma from having an absent father. Whereas Killua has problems to express feelings of love or sadness towards Gon despite having a father who was present and a grandfather as well and brothers.

Arian Abdolahy

You might want to check out "Focusing" by Eugene Gendlin to be able to decipher what that feeling of yours really means. I'm glad you feel that way. I feel that way with Dandadan.

SoreDakeNoKoto

Erm, if you ever have children, I think you'll find there's quite a bit more to being a responsible father than whatever Ging did to make up for his absence. Your earnest defence of Ging is unnecessary, as Ging himself admits he screwed up. Nor do I recall saying anything about Gon having "attachment issues". Nonetheless, Ging isn't a prophet. He could only anticipate so much and prepare for Gon's upbringing years ahead, before quickly moving on to doing the "reckless things" that interest him. It's very easy to imagine an alternate world where the child *did* grow up with issues or keenly missed having a father (e.g. unlike his mates), despite Ging's "best" efforts with Mito-san.

I love your guys' reactions so much! I spent my monthly allowance to buy your patreon so i could watch your hxh stuff. I don't know how to explain it, but you guys are so good willed and human and entertaining that i can spend weekends watching upwards of 20 hours of your content (while doing work, i dont have enough free time to pay full attention all the time 😭). But please keep making great content! I'll try and support you guys next month too!🩷

Godspeedhero

You guys are way too hung up on what Gon said to Killua in the palace. It was time to split up because Killua finally found something that he truly wanted to do and Gon finally found his dad, so for now, their adventure together was over, but they both hope that in the future, they'll be together again and go on adventures again because they'll always be friends.

Archangel Arielle

Because the "soul" being spaceless, timeless immaterial etc., is the equivalent of never having existed anywhere ever, it is incoherent... There is only physicalism, not the outdated materialism.

Archangel Arielle

Legend of the Galactic Heroes 88' is one of the few animes to rival this for me. It is more politically complex.
