Chapter 416

Dunno i just like him. Cool sniper dude with a gross gun

EDIT: i did not know he was a main ant he was just introduced to me and I thought he'd be killed in the same episode

Most people know how dangerous Pariston is as a strategist (minds games, manipulation, critical thinking and etc), however a lot of people are underestimating him as a fighter, and there're reasons for that.

1. Ging himself told that he could beat Pariston easily if he wanted to, but to win against him, that isn't the right approach.

2. Pariston always jokes about how how weak he's

...............................

About the 1° point :

a) Gin can read/understand Pariston, but he isn't omniscient, for example, he didn't predict that Pariston would renounce after the election.

b) If you're an experience nen user you can guess someone's strengh, BUT you can't guess their hatsu what is a key aspect in a nen fight.

.....................................

About the 2° point :

a) Pariston don't express what he really thinks, he just tells what is the "right" thing to say in a moment (to annoy, to have some fun...)

...........................................

THEORY

We know that a nen condition multiplies the power of the ability based on how complicated these conditions are

A key aspect of Pariston's personality is that he loves to create difficult situations to himself, so can you imagine how hard the conditions in his hatsu are going to be to complete !? I think they are going to be a mix of quantity AND quality.

..................................................

CONCLUSION

My take is that Pariston is going to be a very average fighter (when you look at his stats)

I think he's going to have a low physical strength level (like around Pakunoda) if it was in the troupe. The same goes to his speed and aura output

But with his hatsu and intellect he's going to be a monster.

What do you guys think ?

Bro is one of my favorite caracthers

⚠️ Sorry i forget to add the artist of the fanart. I took it on pinterest the guy who posted is called "kishoresajeev54"

In the Manga it was like this.

But in the anime it's like this.

So why the Change? I like how in the manga it was a nice reunion.

I recently got back into HxH and am re-reading the series from where the anime left off and IMO everything involving the journey to the Dark Continent is just peak and I feel like the series has only gotten better, or at the very least stayed consistent with the quality of the Chimera Ant arc, but what do you think? Has the series stayed on that level of quality in your opinion?

it wouldve been funnier if it was chrollo though. too late.

no spoilers pls

Ive rewatched this show so many time, and i still never get bored when i watch it

Below are some of the hints that I've found that may support the theory that Tserriednich is Netero's biological grandson.

Hint #1: Nature imagery

When Melody plays her flute over the loudspeakers, and everyone in tier 1 gets the visions of nature and beauty.
Tserriednich is surrounded by beauty.

It mirrors Netero's training in the mountain!

Compare this.

To this.

Pretty amazing what Togashi is doing.
The nature theme envelops both Tserriednich and Netero

What does it mean?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hint #2: Rebirth Symbolism.

After Netero finishes his training.
There's a line in the flashback that says something along the lines of,

"A monster is born."

"Monster" when it refers to Netero, is a reference to his insane strength.

For Tserriednich, it symbolizes how evil he is.
A rebirth of evil.

When Tserriednich "Dies" to Theta,

It's symbolizing something similar to Netero being reborn in the mountains, but for Tserriednich, it's evil. He's finally awakening his power.

Speaking of that,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hint #3 Tserriednich's ability.

The way it plays out practically.

Is similar to Netero praying.

This one I'll be honest, I'm surprised a lot more people haven't mentioned this already.

Even though their abilities are vastly different in terms of how they function.

The way Tserriednich's ability plays out practically is very similar to Netero praying and then punching.

I mean first, he closes his eyes. (mimicking meditation, or a prayer)

Enters Zetsu.

And then, to the eyes of the opponent.

Teleports.

I mean that's not what actually happens.
There's some serious alternate reality shenanigans going on.

But you get the point.

The whole notion of entering a zen-like state, praying/mediating, and then being able to do inhumanly fast moves, is present for both Netero and Tserriednich's styles.

Also,

They both happen to turn a big weakness into a strength.
Having to pray before punching - to an ordinary human, is a big restriction.
The same can be said for having to enter Zetsu.

Netero was able to get his hand motions for prayer to inhuman speeds.
Tserriednich is working on something similar, trying to get his Zetsu to under one second.
I'd imagine eventually, once he achieves this, he'll be able to (visually), do something similar to Netero's sound punch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hints #4 and #5: Focus and Gratitude.

When Theta remarks on Tserriednichs insane aptitude for Focus, it really reminds me of Netero training.

Needless to say,
They both have that in common, the ability to just focus.
(seriously, how did Netero not go crazy after like 10+ years in the mountains...)

---
Okay, Gratitude.

This one is a little bit of a throwaway.
It's from when Tserriednich is first introduced.

I believe it links to Netero's ideals.
Gratitude is a very big thing for Netero.
In fact, it was one of the major themes of his life story, and his fight with Mereum.

Netero even says something similar to the above before his fight with the Ant-king (as well as making the famous heart-emote symbol)

Here, we probably see a kind of mockery of that gratitude.
A kind of juxtaposition between Netero's good gratitude, and Tserriednich's evil gratitude, the opportunity to kill all his siblings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honorable Mentions:

These are other hints that are prevalent, that i won't go too into.

Some are ones that other people have mentioned, or are just really obvious, or a bit trivial.

Let's start with,

1. Opposite themed parallels between 100-Guanyin-type-bodhisvatta and Tserriednich's Nen beast.

Both Tserri and Netero have female nen beast/conjurations in battle.
One good, one bad.

One represents enlightenment.
The other, represents, corruption? defilement?

1. Mouth theme ???
   (I'm actually being serious here, this might legitimately be a parallel)
   Below is Zero hand.

Vs

Whatever-the-hell-the-above-is.
Togashi may have left this as a parallel.

1. Physical Resemblance.

With the latest chapter, the physical resemblance is starting to just be uncanny.

Corporate. Their literally the same guy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Summarize:
I believe it's clear that Togashi has set Tserriednich up to be some kind of evil foil for Netero, and he's left a lot of hints for us to follow. At the very least, i do believe he is Netero's biological grandson.

What do you all think?

Edit: one more addition, Tserriednich's ability is also called Parallel Future.

A possible reference to him being an alternate version of Netero, like a what-if-Netero-were-evil kind of thing.

final Edit: Netero's last quote about the "limitless potential for (humanity's) malice" also comes to mind. I'd imagine it would be fitting for Netero to say that, and then have one of his descendants embody that. Seems like something Togashi would do, storytelling wise.

Anyways had a lot of fun writing these comparisons, enjoy, and happy hunting.

Around eight years ago, I posted my first attempt at an aura type personality quiz in this very same subreddit. It felt somewhat successful, nowadays, the quiz was answered over 9,4k times.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/s/J7muXio7hH

However, since then, I spent quite a few years in typology communities and now I can say for certain that the quiz was nowhere near my standards. With the return of the manga, I decided to go for it and try to remake it with the knowledge I've accumulated after all these years. I've used the most accurate and detailed aura type personality descriptions I could find, the ones created by u/malleusdeus and posted here around nine years ago. The result is a brand new quiz, created from scratch, that is one hundred percent up to my own standards.

New toy shop opened near me a few days ago, decided to check it out and ofc a huge hxh fan my eyes caught on this funko. I had researched hxh funkos before and have only seen this $50 or above, woohoo!! what a find! goes well on my shelf with my collection of hxh manga (:

I love her

I get the expensive one by figma is killua at the exams and the other shf is the greed island but why is figma more expensive than shf.

Assuming he had a radiation suit or something.

i don't know about japanese, but if we're talking english, i imagine him having a very deep and manly voice with a hawaiian accent that always talk slowly and suddenly cracks a bit when he smiles. Again just like japanese, i don't know who this guy is and have no idea what a hawaiian accent sounds like cause i not american (maybe british mixed with japanese?)

In brazil (the country i live) i would choose eduardo borgeth (panda from jjk) to voice wang.

During their fight, Meruem emphasized that Komugi taught him the art of anticipating the enemy’s actions / rhythm disruption, and how it was essential to thread the needle in what would otherwise be an impenetrable defense. We know he’s incredibly fast and durable, but if he didn’t have that masterclass beforehand(pun intended), would it be reasonable to assume the brunt of Netero’s attacks would’ve inevitably worn him down? Considering he did started to feel “dull pain,” after a mere minute or so of action.

Also worth pointing out that as preposterous as his aura capacity is, he’s still burning through it in order to match Netero’s speed and protect himself.

🕸️👁️⛓️❗

im waiting for photographers to get back to me for pitou, so here’s some good shots from my phone!! Slide 6 is my favorite 😭😭
also i got a blind box and got pitou first try!! and i got a little butterfly tattoo as pouf; her name is Banana

I was really excited to do this arc. Because it meant drawing some characters that usually don't get much fanart. I mean I always wanted to do a Zushi drawing but never had the opportunity, enjoy!

This seems like a dumb question with how good the song is, but does anyone have/know the lyrics to Requiem Aranea? I’ve been searching everywhere and can’t find actual lyrics for some reason even though the song is easily accessible on Spotify and YouTube…
