Dark Continent is genuinely a very very intriguing place. I still remember when I first read about it it give me chill. We learn that HxH's world is big but then Tagashi dropped “It's just a small place inside a lake inside a wide land stretches to infinity.

I feel like Mereum could actually be a top predator in the Dark Continent now. We all think Chimera Ants are weak compared to the creatures in the DC, but I believe Chimera Ants from the human world actually became much much stronger than the ones on the Dark Continent because their evolution was mostly never interrupted. When Gon and Killua first meet Kite, the ants are super weak, these are probably the same ants that are in the Dark Continent. In the DC since there are a lot of OP creatures probably, they probably never gave a chance for Chimera Ants to evolve because they just kept killing them. And since the Chimera Ants are probably one of the weakest DC creatures, there werent any other weaker organisms to feed nen off of, so they cant just hide and farm nen from weaker creatures. However in the human world since theres not a lot of things stopping them from evolving, they were able to become very strong. I feel like Chimera Ants in the Dark Continents just kept getting spawn trapped and thus never got the chance to produce an ant as strong as the Royal Guards or Mereum. Even the Chimera Ant Queen in the human world was weak, she was probably the pinnacle of Chimera Ant strength in DC before they started eating nen from humans

I've always wondered wether the Freeks family originated from the Dark Continent. Gin and Gon seemed so suspiciously overly talented with NEN that i wonder if their ancestors may have been people from the Dark Continent with a WAY stronger connection to NEN than normal humans from the human world. If humans exist on the Dark Continent I'd asume that it is a civilisation where pretty much EVERY SINGLE person is as strong as the strongest characters we've seen so far. Maybe Gin(g) would be a weakling compared to them. Like comparing Sayajins to humans? I've been wondering about that for so long now...

Does anyone remember the lovely ghostwriter ability? In the York new city arc chrollo told the future of the other phantom troupe members after stealing it. We can actually suck out a lot of information from these poems. Now, I only know their German version because...well I'm German, and I think searching and pasting out the English version into a KZread comment is too much. But the deciding thing it shalnark's poem. It told him he would die If he made a phone call (basically, you can just Google for more information). If all remember, he was killed after a phone call by Hisoka. That means Togashi still remembers the Poems he wrote. Let's take shizuku for another example. She was told she would meet her end if she left her Partner and die in "a field covered in black items". This probably means the luggage compartment on our little whale ship thing. If Togashi really sticks with these Poems, Shizuku will leave her phantom troupe partners (maybe even without free will/being tricked) and go to the luggage compartment where hisoka will most likely kill here. Because let's be honest, why would Kurapika be in the luggage compartment when he has to protect a prince. Hisoka is most likely. These are only two examples! We could of course Analyse all other poems, or those who said a member would die or whatever. But I think this is enough for now. Does this sound trustworthy?

My man Togashi set up what could possibly be the greatest arc ever in manga, the stakes, the characters, the story, the mystery, the interweaving plots all 10/10 and being masterfully woven together as the tension builds. We shadow this arc is casting is immeasurable and incomparable to anything I've ever seen. It's truly incomprehensible what this arc could even possibly turn out like, no point of reference, no clear idea of anything they could find, what could happen or what effect it will have on the story. It's daunting the sheer amount of insurmountable negative energy and sense of doom the place exudes it's terrifying. And after he sets all that up he just doesn't write it.

Of course that would be possible, which is why many think the reason for the hiatus is a lack of inspiration / motivation / confidence. Think about it, many deem the chimera ant arc one of the best anime arcs of all times, on top of that the show has been teasing the dark continent hard, thus building much expectation and anticipation. It is very, very likely that the dark continent arc will be worse than the chimera arc and I believe Togashi is afraid of that.

I've always found it super interesting that the Gatekeeper(s) call it the "New World", instead of the Old World, with the good amount of evidence of humanity having originated there. It's like Humans were once a force to be reckoned with then left with a strong force into Lake Mobius and settled there, leaving behind perhaps their women and children or something. Perhaps a magical beast contacted a guide for their journey there, but then left themselves to settle on the world we know today, leaving the original, beast level humans without a way to return. This would have stranded the weaker members of humanity on the DC without a form of protection. Super interesting the way Togashi has constructed all this, the dude is a master of creating crazy intrigue
Hey Mista, nice shirt! Also, I am expecting Ging is probably going to learn more or even find Don on the continent and that's probably his real goal to go there.
Is there any info on the "New Continent"? I ask because based on the progression, the ending of the succession war would be more likely to end there than it would to end at the Dark Continent AND while it isn't part of the Dark Continent, it isn't part of the "Old World" either. At the moment, as far as I know, there is even less known about it than the Dark Continent. I thought perhaps that was where the "gate" to the Dark Continent exists OR that is where the "Guide" is acquired.

All that seems very odd to me. That is when I started thinking about the Gate Keepers and the "inability" to sail to the dark world, yet all these trips have made it. So, where do the gatekeepers live? The new continent makes the most sense to me. If they live there, then I could see why the government and Hunter Association would want to keep it hidden from the rest of the world as well.

That is why I'm more curious about it than the Dark Continent atm. WHY is it unknown except to the Hunters and the G5/G6? Why wouldn't they want to take advantage of all that land nearby? This is just a guess by me obviously, but that picture of the Gate (the only one we've seen) I'd imagine is within a "Great Wall" across the entirety of the "New Continent" with the "Gate Keepers" "living" behind it. On the old world's side I'd imagine it's just like the old world, on the other side, I'd imagine it was like the Dark Continent and the Gate Keepers erected the wall to keep the 2 separate and give them a means to test any wishing to go to the Dark Continent. If they can pass through the New Continent, the Guide will take them to the Dark Continent. If I were Togashi, that would be my mini-arc between the succession war and the Dark Continent Arc. He really likes those bridging mini-arcs after all.

It's a mini Dark Continent. Another island inside of Lake Mobius besides the known world, and due to how far away it is from our world (after all sea life gets much more dangerous the further we travel) we can safely assume that the life there is on a much bigger level of size and power than the flora and fauna we know. But due to it not actually being a part of the Dark Continent it isn't nearly as dangerous as the real thing. If the map that we saw was accurate, the New Continent is bigger than the known world, but not that much (it's still comfortably bigger but the difference isn't colossal) Since the Kakin Empire is being planned to be dropped off there while the rest continues the voyage, i assume that the Guide and Gatekeeper aren't on there, since it would be risky to just leave Kakin on the same place where they could find a way to the Dark Continent. I think the Gatekeeper is on the border between our world and the shoreline of the Dark Continent, or at least the border between the part of the ocean that we're on and the part of the ocean that's impossible for us to cross, that might've been explicitly said but i'm not entirely sure. Either way, it makes sense
The five calamities give me goosebumps especially the human pet monster. I also notice that Togashi drawings can sometimes give me the same vibe as Junji Ito art works especially when drawing monsters.
Always liked to imagine the cimera ants were just the ants of the dark continent, is in whatever else is there is unimaginably strong
The Dark Continent from HxH Actually exists in the real world, But it's in reverse: the Dark Continent's land Is the ocean of our world. Both vast & mysterious.
Thanks Liam for your great work in researching HXH lore. It really is much appreciated. Cant wait for part 2! I still have so many questions e.g. about the girl-prince who died trying to escape the boat with another girl-price just because they left the boat - like, what was that? Weren't they still in the "human world"? It made a great story but just introduced so many mysteries at once.
I think ive watched/rewatched almost all of your hunter hunter videos... again. Im so hyped for more chapters. Even though the succession war arc is really interesting, im eager for more dark continent info.
I have a hunch that the dark continent is a mirror of the Greed Island but more of an 18+ version. Bigger and more dangerous. It is where Ging get the inspiration to create Greed Island. If you think about it, Greed Island sort of comprise of magical beasts which helps train and help people understand the dangers of living in a world where everyone has nen. Greed Island is a training ground for Dark Continent. We can probably expect similarities between the two but in Dark Continent, beings are more intelligent, places are more chaotic, and what not.

So what would be the point of doing it again with more dangerous things?

That said, it changes the whole dynamic and possible conditions being in Dark Continent which could make for very interesting story lines, not to mention the mind games given how the power scaling is in HxH. It opens up a whole new possibilities that was not explored in Greed Island arc which is, in my opinion, more for the light hearted folks and kids. This is what Im getting by understanding the author. Togashi likes to take time with his story telling. He put bread crumbs leading to where he will bring the story to. And looking to his past work, Yu Yu Hakusho, you can see almost the same pattern with his story telling although now he puts more details.

I still feel like the West "half" of this book is actually the same book as the East "half". Just need to unlock some kind of trick to reading it. Because a mobius strip is basically a never ending circle that loops back on itself. Would seem out of character for Togashi to name the entire lake "Mobius", draw a mobius strip on the Book and then never use that symbol to mean anything. Of course he may be using mobius to represent something else, but I am guessing it is the book itself which then may lead to something special about how to travel the dark continent more safely :)
Thank you for making this recap series, because even though I love HxH there's no way i will read the entirety of this arc again. There's just too much text
the chimera ant is extremely important to set up what the dark continent is all about, those mfs are actually the lowest ranking of predators and may even be a prey in there and hunters barely won mostly because they have experience and ants developing some humanity (in fact, in terms of raw nen they were much larger than the average of a professional hunter) it's probably one of the most exciting thing about HxH, we've seen some powerful users and threats over the course of the anime only to realize those were basically nothing when you compare it to the dark continent

A cool theory I have is that Don Freecs is actually already dead but was able to finish Journey to the West. Remember when Mito said to Gon that Ging’s father just disappeared on a fishing trip? Maybe Ging’s dad is actually in the Dark Continent and the on that is finishing Journey to the East.

I don't think Togashi will go through the cliché route of 'GOn and Killua saving Kurapika and Leorio who are in danger.' It's way too predictable considering Gon is the main character and he would have done it during Yorknew when Kurapika fought Uvo if he wanted to. Not to mention, at the moment at least, Kurapika is stronger than Gon and Killua. It may not be explictly shown, but Kurapika is also a Nen genius, even if maybe a little less talented than the other 2. And if Togashi wanted someone to save them, it definitely wouldn't be Gon or Killua, but maybe Ging or someone like that. Togashi doesn't exactly give his main characters much special treatment.

If you look closely at the victim of Halbell (it’s a detached hand in a tube) it’s power isn’t actually to inflict humans with homicidal desire it’s to inflict any part of one’s body with homicidal desire. The hand itself looks to have come alive and attacked it’s owner. So it could most literally turn your entire body against you
Personal theory (extracted from some lucid dream a decade ago): Don Freecs never finished the 2nd Edition of his book because he "sampled" Nitro Rice, reverted to his near-infantile state, and was soon after found by Netero and crew during his exploration of the Continent. He took the infant and later handed him to one of his trusted Zodiac members (re: dropped him in his lap), calling him Gon Freecs, knowing his identity from his abandoned exploration equipment, and Jing renaming him to at least hide his true identity, explaining to Mito that Gon was his "son". Explaining it this way fills a lot of questions I have about his origins and his somewhat "distant" relationship with Jing.

We saw what the ants could do as an invasive species that learned nen from humans thanks to Pitou. I think like all invasive species in real life the ants are unable to reach anywhere near the level they had in the Chimera Ant arc when on the dark continent, and are just pests to the more dangerous things around them. The queen had to eat a ridiculous amount of animals and people to eventually get Meruem. I'm sure that the Chimera ants like real ants are constantly annihilating themselves before anything like that could exist there.

I wouldn't say that, Toriko did this same troupe and executed it perfectly. The threats we knew in the human world were pale in comparison to the bigger world (In toriko it's the gournet world). Everything is scaled to insane proportions and the monsters there look sinister. HxH has the 5 threats and toriko has the 8 kings. The 8 kings are disgustingly broken monsters that rule a portion of the continent and their feats are jaw dropping. Every HxH fan needs to read this and I'm gonna keep preaching it.
I find the premise of the "Succession War" to be a good one but inherently flawed as, if the last 2 contestants somehow manage to attain a mutual kill against the other, then it renders the entire thing a moot point as All the princes are now dead; making it so there is no inherent ruler to the kingdom.

The dark continent is based off the real world map. The map should really be upside down Antarctica is ring surrounding us with other landmasses outside of the ring. I hope somebody sees my comment. Lol
The dark continent may be one of the most fascinating places in all of fiction for me. The sheer terror that we know and don't know is just unconfortable. It's a place humans should have no business with. There are regular chimera ants in the human world that are very aggressive and I like thought that the chimera ants we met in the arc are just mere insignificant creatures on the dark continent. Meruem who killed humanities strongest human would just be a tiny insignificant creature for the strongest creatures on the dark continent. The best adjective I have for dark continent is lovecraftian. My fan theory is that the human realm we know since chapter 1 is just a tiny project, a time killer for some bored god or lifeform on the dark continent.

What if the humans in the 'known world' (the islands in lake Mobius) came originally from the Dark Continent? The idea is that there are different tribes (or even civilizations) of humans living in the Dark Continent. A few thousand years ago a group of humans moved to the islands in lake Mobius in order to isolate themselves from the harshness of the Dark Continent. That group of humans are the ancestors of the current population in the known world. Humans in the Dark Continent needed Nen to survive. For the humans in the islands in lake Mobius, Nen use became less and less necessary because the islands are 'relatively safe' (compared to the harshness of the Dark Continent) so the knowledge of Nen became less and less common.

Time different in the dark continent b/c all life is practically important in the dark continent due to the highly nutritious vegetation and highly advanced/enhances life on the dark continent, the vegetation in the dark continent has evolved to be supper powered compared to the plant life in the human world, meaning that even eating these plants may take some serious power and strength and they are advanced to the point that they can use aura, this unique flora in term have made the fauna advanced to in genetics, prolonging the lifespans and the actual perception of time, in order to survive the dark continent you would have to sync with this unique warped perception if time, if not you would be destroyed by the advanced life, remember when NETERO trained in the mountains and said his perception of time got away from his while doing his million punches thing, to the point he spent 50 years up there, well he actually started that training b/c he learned of it in the dark continent and wanted to be ready to return one day, so he dedicated himself to mastering this technique, idk if he ever returned to the dark continent tho... but that’s why the freekz guy who is writing the other book is still alive, most of the stuff mentioned to be from the dark continent are actually misunderstood events relating to aura, the mysterious energy that all life forms have evolved to be able to manipulate, it’s just the secrets of aura are far more complex then anyone really knows, the origin of this aura is supper relevant tho, as the human world has only a surface taste of its deep flavors, imagine how the gas creature who grant wishes actually attained that ability? How did they evolve to become as they are, or are they the conjuring of another creature? They are actually parasites!!!! Living off hosts and are passed down by offspring, they are not the only ones either, cimara ants live on the dark continent and they pretty much rule certain parts of it, but they are much stronger and diverse then the ones that got into the human world or rather they where brought to the human world by Gyro, that’s why they where found in the NGL, cut off from other countries so the secret councils hired hunters to investigate cous they where suspicious of such beans being manipulated, after discovering what they did they got netero to eliminate the ants, and also grew suspicious as to how they got into the human world, so the Expedition is really a means to either conquering the dark continent for the sake of humanity or learning a way to counter it if possible, b/c what the first expedition to the dark continent actually did was compromise humanity and we have just been trying to keep the monsters at bay this whole time but that barrier of protection is beginning to wain as our 2 world are becoming 1, so this expedition is vital and a true priority. Kurapica will learn the origins of his people and unlock the secrets of his eyes, which will teach his secrets about aura and ways to advance his nen, just wait this will blow everyone’s mind yall
