Hunter x Hunter Chapter 342 Discussion

  • #34
Too much txt in my opinion. I think what makes this boring for me is that what I'm reading is from characters I've never seen before, I know this must be done, but I'm still bored of it and also annoyed by the big ass txt that I've to read, also I'm kinda tired with the politics intrigue I already have to deal with this in attack on titan.



Anyways things looks like it's about to pick up since Ging and Pariston has now shown up.



overall 3/5.

Ok, here's a little summary of the last two chapters from someone over at Mangastream:



Alright folks this is going to be a fairly long read because Togashi packed a lot of stuff in this chapter:Well we know that Isaac Netero wants the Zodiacs to go to Dark Continent. Netero had also been to the Dark Continent before but found that his view of strength is more on that for combat. Beyond, on the other hand, views strength to be that of determination and the desire to explore the unknown - something Netero acknowledges as a far more virtuous quality of a hunter. This is why Netero is "making a request" for the Hunters Association to set up their own expedition and beat Beyond for the prestige of exploring and colonizing the Dark Continent.

The country of Kakin wants to go to the Dark Continent. The Dark Continent remember from last chapter is taboo and humans have not visited it for centuries.

V5 don't want to deal with this because each time humanity has stepped into the Dark Continent, they've only brought calamities back. Another reason is out of the 28 survivors from the Dark Continent, only 3 were able to live normal lives. Mind you these were powerful individuals with a lot of luck on their side. So it would be very reckless and dangerous for the citizens of Kakin to head over to the Dark Continent.

V5 order The Zodiacs to capture Beyond, as a way to get their own info on the Dark Continent (preferably the calamities).

Beyond gives himself up, proposing they take him to Dark Continent under the pretense that they are chasing him and to obtain greater support for his trip to the Dark Continent from the Hunter's Association and V5.

Zodiacs accept, so they can fulfill Isaac's final request/order.

The V5 plan on inviting Kakin in to turn the organization from the V5 into the V6 in an attempt to limit the damage of the expedition that would otherwise bring more calamities back from the Dark Continent. To ensure a monitored expedition, the Hunter's Association will accompany Beyond by orders of the V5 into the Dark Continent.

The V5 must do this expedition of the Dark Continent while:

1. Keeping Beyond a prisoner

2. Fighting off Beyond's allies

3. Dealing with the calamities

4. Exploring the continent to find ways to benefit mankind.

The King of Kakin is building Black Whale ships to effectively transport people from their world into the Dark Continent. The first ship will send Beyond and presumably the Zodiac 10 along with more in the future. The King estimates one million immigrants over the next five years.

Ging meets with Pariston and proposes he joins Beyond's team. He also tells Pariston to stop causing trouble because Pariston wanted to send his pet army of 5000 Chimera ant soldiers against one of two targets: the New World if the Hunter Association goes along with Beyond or the Hunter Association itself if it doesn't. Also, Ging might want to be a long wolf in the New World......looks like Gon will have to search for his father in the New World.

Beyond and the Zodiacs will be the first adventurers that manage to successfully infiltrate the Dark Continent officially, and will also establish the first ground base for operations and maybe even starting the cartography of the first continent.



Kubo couldn't tell this much even if he had 30 chapter worth of pages at his disposal.

But really those translations are terrible. "We need Usher Kakin in V5"

"I be this and I be that"

What?

And I thought that Togashi writing Hunter x Hunter again was just a fluke.

I guess this latest chapter proves that he's really back.





I pity those anime watchers who complain a lot about having long narrations

when this arc is finally animated. ^_^

Those 5000 chimera ants are pretty much Pariston's playtoys and DC his playground lol.
