One of Togashi’s greatest feats and I could never yap enough about it
The thing I love about hxh is how Togashi has written a well-rounded world where the MCs feel like just one part of it rather than the center of everything. The other characters aren't just there to make our MCs shine. They have their own identity and story and It's beautiful.
Welfin is one of the most fascinating analyses in Hunter x Hunter and some of the genius Togashi pours into him is so, so subtle
Comic store at the mall had this tapestry hanging right by the door how did they know I would walk by and see it (and immediately purchase it)

Why do people mischaracterize Ging so badly? He literally embodies absolute freedom and the pursuit of the unknown. The very core definition of what a Hunter is (“enjoy the little detours”).
It’s so frustrating watching a deeply complex character get mischaracterised…
I also recently wonder if the bottomless malice within the human race that Netero refers to Pariston.
We’ve effectively seen his “superpower” so far as being able to wield people’s own insufficiencies (Cheadle/Mizai) and flaws (Netero/Teradein) against them. It can expand.

L’Empire de Kakin est inspiré de l’Empire ottoman et de la Chine impériale des Qin.
Dans les années 2000, Togashi s'est rendu en Égypte, dans le Jump, il écrit :
« Je suis allé en Égypte !! J’aimerais exprimer dans mon œuvre ne serait-ce qu’une partie de cette émotion. »
Quelques années plus tard, les gardes royaux sont créés ; "Neferpitou" signifie "beau" en égyptien ancien
Menthuthuyoupi" "Shaiapouf" font tout deux références à Montou, le dieu de la guerre et Shaï, le dieu du destin.
En 1999, Togashi avait aussi visité la Turquie.
10 ans après, on a la guerre de succession de Kakin. Et cette guerre s'inspire peut-être d’une pratique ottomane institutionnalisée. En effet, lorsqu'un nouveau sultan arrivait au pouvoir, il faisait exécuter ses frères pour s'assurer de la sucession.
Mehmed III avait exécuté 19 de ses frères en 1595.
Just thinking about how immensely proficient in nen the game masters of Greed Island must be to keep the entire island functioning. What do you mean 11 people built the infrastructure and control the maintenance of spells and NPCs in the whole game LOL
