Lets enjoy this return while we still can. I'm calling 9-10 chapters before the next hiatus.
Said that back in the chapter 361 thread, and I was unfortunately right. I suppose we were all expecting it though.......
These hiatuses always strike after Togashi drops a chapter that makes things more interesting.
Which is also the amount of chapters required to publish a new volume.
Yep, exactly. Put out enough for a new volume to keep the paychecks coming then take a break. But if it's for the good of his health, then i shouldn't complain too much.

"With emitters and manipulators, the aura of the /ten/ that surrounds them grows larger... and even if they try to intentionally shrink it, the color will become darker."
Wait... color? Did Madhouse mess up and Nippon Animation got it right, since Nippon gave color to the auras of different Nen users, while Madhouse didn't?
Welp, hiatus time. Just when things got really interesting. Hopefully it'll be like last time and return within 52 weeks or less. The last 10 chapters just focused on Kurapika, the Princes, the maids and the bodyguards. We couldn't even see chapters that showed the Zodiacs, Leorio, Hisoka, Ging or Pariston. Shame.

Biscuit is arguably the most powerful hunter still alive. it's unlikely she would meet her end on the boat.
Ging is probably stronger. I don't recall but I think it was Biscuit who said that Ging was among the top 5 or 10 hunters. I assume that it would have been mentioned if she was among the top 5 hunters. You're right about it being unlikely for Biscuit to die on the boat, if she's going to die it'll be on the Dark Continent. I hope that's not the case though, I'm quite fond of her.
I wonder what treasure it is that Biscuit is looking for on the Dark Continent.
i mentioned Ging is probably stronger than her in my next reply. but Togashi has never put him in a power ranking chart. being the father of Gon though i assume that it's likely he is the strongest nen user alive right now.

In today's world of fandom, audiences have often come to feel as though content creators owe them something and often forget that there's a real human
being behind those stories. Most readers tend to forget the health problems you mentioned.
Actually, I wouldn't mind too much if Togashi took hiatuses even if he hadn't any physical health issues (or like most Shonen Jump authors psychological problems due to the amount of stress) and just took hiatuses to spend more time with his family.
I really respect Togashi a lot for continuing the story while not letting the quality drop although he's been working on it for this many years and most likely isn't in need of it as much financially anymore.
I actually think this arc benefits from the frequent hiatuses.
It makes for a worse reading experience for the audience that's keeping up with the release schedule (since there's always so much info, so many characters you don't really care/ remember anymore and it's always a little difficult to dive back into the story after the hiatus) but I feel as though Togashi uses the hiatus time effectively to plan out the events in detail and lay more hints/rework the story.
I don't think this arc would be as well written if Togashi actually had to come up with the chapters on a week by week basis.
Haha I'm sure future binge readers will profit from this, sucks for us though
I just wish we had some sort of confirmation that we will in fact receive a volume per year...
Right now, there's always that lingering fear in the back of my mind that he won't return from the current hiatus and the story will be left unfinished

I wonder if there's any major main character (like Hanzo, Biscuit, etc) that will be killed.

I don't think so. powerful? absolutely. most powerful? I think not.
we don't really know her power except that she is a very skillful nen user and can be turned into giant with a crazy strength. but that's it.
But I agree that she is unlikely to get killed on the boat. (I think that will be an interesting plot twist)
if you disagree i suggest you take it up with Togashi himself, who made this official HxH power chart. as you can see, out of the living people on this list, Biscuit is the most powerful. it's likely Ging is more powerful than her, but other than that she's a formidable hunter.
Now I'm more curious about the chart.
1. Meruem is not on the list
2. Zushi is.. less powerful than Komugi?
3. Kurapika is less powerful than Shoot & Knuckle, even Tsezguerra. You know, he captured Chrollo and killed Uvogin easily
4. Hisoka's mind is.. only 3?
5. Zeno or Silva is not on the list
I don't know what assumption Togashi used to make this chart. But the real question is, is this chart still relevant now? some character gained new power.
i assume Meruem is not on the list because by comparison to everyone else the numbers would have had to have been put way down.
Komugi had extremely powerful - but specific nen, which leads me to my next point
Kurapika has nen abilities made specifically for only a very few amount of people on earth, which is why it's incredibly strong against those people. but against others, it is useless. like with Gon in CA, just because you make a very powerful but limited condition does not make you automatically stronger than everyone else if the conditions severely hinder your ability to fight. with Gon it was time based, with Kurapika it is ridiculously specific for his own needs.
Hisoka is reckless and only fights because he chases after power. Yes he is clever with bungee gum, but if you compare his mind to someone like Chrollo i can see why he'd put mind so low.
the chart is not that old when you consider how much hiatus time has been since he made this which i believe was 2014. maybe 30 chapters? it's really not that much.
I suppose Togashi didn't rank the power based on ones fully potential. If he did, then Gon will be just one rank away from Netero and Kurapika rank will rose much higher. Don't forget that Kurapika also has emperor of time. It's also ridiculous that his ingenuity only scored 2.
I think this chart is about physical power and nen power. It's so weird that Zushi's stamina is the same as Komugi. Well Komugi can play Gungi for three days and three nights straight. But can she endure physical damage like Zushi did while battling Killua? Though I Think we can't just compare these two like that because they fight on different category.
If you compare it with Chrollo. And if you compare it with Gon? Gon's mind is higher than Hisoka and thats' ridiculous.
Actually what's important is the definition of each category (mind, skill, ingenuity, stamina, aura, knowledge).
Yeah I believe there's no difference with character that doesn't have any change in ability or power. But you know, some have new ability and Gon loses his nen.

Lol, Togashi couldn't care less about money. He doesn't have to worry about that since two decades already.
