Hunter x Hunter Chapter 44 Discussion

They are participating in a tournament - man I really am getting dragonball vibes from this as they are way stronger than the normal humans like in dbz haha.

The main characters splitting up is one of my favourite parts about Hunter x Hunter. They all have their own goals and motivations so it makes sense. I feel with many other manga that the main characters stay together simply because they are main characters, and often some of them are used badly. It's a small thing, but it makes the characters feel more like real people.



And here we go, this is the first time in the manga that Gon defeats an opponent by being superior in strength. Volume 5, chapter 44. That's really late for being a battle manga, and I think partly what makes Hunter x Hunter much more interesting than most others.



It would be easy to then go overboard and have Gon and Killua be far stronger than everybody. But instead, already in this chapter we are introduced to another child character that seem to be very strong as well.

                        Thus concludes the Zoldyck Family Arc & begins the Heaven's Arena Arc. For the former, it was okay. It's definitely my least favorite part of Hunter x Hunter but it had it's moments & at least it was important.



The rest of the chapter was good. I like that how Gon wins his match is tied back into opening the doors. It's a minor touch that I appreciate. & of course, the first mentions of Yorknew (or Yorkshin if you prefer) which is an arc I'm very excited about revisiting.

Separation :/ Every one took his way, but with the promise to meet again in 6 months!!!!

Killua and Gon start their adventure in a fight tournamente building :/

Yorknew City.. I've heard quite a about that...



Anyways, now we are following Gon and Killua in Heaven's Arena. This place seems super cool, though I did not expect the group to split up this early. Here are the tournament-style battles I was expecting for the Hunter Exams finale.
