Thinking about Greed Island as a tutorial for the Dark Continent makes me actually appreciate the Greed Island arc now lol
@JoNarDLoLz
Ай бұрын
Same here, I already like Greed Island but as an arc, it just seems the most disconnected from the story and acted as a drawn out training arc for Gon and Killua If it turned out that Greed Island was a tutorial for the Dark Continent, then it cements it's importance in the story
@b_delta9725
Ай бұрын
i half agree with this theory because if you think about it, Greed island IS a tutorial for another arc but not Dark continent, instead it's a tutorial for the Chimera ants there are a lot of parallelisms i could talk about, like Genthru and his rose explosions and how that reflects the Poor man's rose, but the biggest is this one: Up until CA arc there isn't a real "hunting" arc in the show, where you see the characters battling something unknown which is what you expect when you start the show so at the end of Greed island, when gon uses his free card, he has two options: go alone to meet his father, or go with Killua to meet kite so that they can HUNT something with him, for the first time, and this ended up being the chimera ants. Gon was taught all he needed in GI: he had intense training with bisky which they later continued, he made a ton of allies that helped them which mirrors how Gon and Killua trust Meleoron and Ikalgo, and learned to work with a team as well. CA arc was the real proof of his worth, cause it's about him trying to rescue kite, the man that had already found his father, so if Gon can't save Kite it means he's not strong enough to find ging. and it's ironic that ging DID want gon to meet him at the end of Greed island, as long as Gon was alone, and we're told it's because ging is shy which makes sense, but you could interpret it as Killua "stopping" gon from getting what he wants, same way he stopped gon from fighting pitou twice, and GI arc ends with gon saying "first thing I'll do is present killua to my father" and that never happens, gon and killua end up kinda hurt in their relationship instead. It's almost like an indirect lesson for gon, that even though he completed Greed island, if he wants to follow his dad's footsteps he has to do it alone, just like him

I think Killua's quick pickup on Greed Island's mechanics spoke more to his strong experience with video games, and Gon's complete lack-thereof, than their experience as Hunters. Killua's secluded upbringing made him super familiar with the workings of toys and games (see: yoyos, darts), whereas Gon was more of the outdoorsy kid interested in more traditional stuff.
That DC to Greed island connection was insane i never thought of that. Its crazy how much can be taken from the source material 10+ years later
2:45 - It's possible that Ging only made 100 copies of Greed Island as part of a nen restriction to make the aura used to power it as strong as it was. In order to play, you had to find a copy for sale, a way to earn billions of Jenny, or a way for an owner of the game to let you play it. Not to mention the ring and memory card. That also meant that the aura used to power it could only be experienced by a relatively small number of people at any given time, vs a World of Warcraft kind of traffic, so the aura would become supercharged.

it is very fitting that the two kids, gon and killua explore the video game/easier version of the dark continent (even though greed island is still very intensive), while the two adults, leorio and kurapika are on board the black whale 1 to the REAL dark continent. P.S, another great narative of HxH is that Don Freecs creates the guide for the dark continent, Ging Freecs creates a game around the dark continent and then Gon Freecs is the one to fully complete the game around the dark continent (and possibly kill a dark continent creature, pitou, single handedly)
Actually that's what I am thinking as well, "Greed Island" is the prototype / easiest mode of "Dark Continent", and if take a look at the current arc, "Succession Contest Arc" is more parallel to the "Yorknew City Arc", but with more complexity, more characters, more factions, so "Dark Continent Arc" is the parallel to the "Greed Island Arc"

The difference in power and finesse between the Nen users on Greed Island that could truly compete, and those just trying to survive, indeed paint a picture of Ging's bare minimum of Nen management in that regard. His intuitive training built into the game includes: - Targeting and identifying enemies - seeing how the opposition works - theory crafting on how to defeat an opponent and exercising proper conflict resolution skills - logging successful strategies away properly and seeing how they plug into other problems - a fully fleshed out card system to cultivate the practice of combining several supernatural powers into diverse attack plans and survival tactics - treating each ability given, as a finite resource to draw from, for help - being able to see a narrative play out and dissect it correctly to determine motives - how to trade and barter resources - how to determine a good's value, use, rarity or if the occasion calls to use them in the moment for utility and weighing out that cost. - And lastly, the in-game enemies train players into having proper basic Nen combat in the Shingen Ryu style (to the point where physically leveraging a situation With basic Nen in that way, is achievable and consistent, not relying on luck or brute forcing bad strategies) All that training and prep, while basically forcing philosophies of teamwork with others, while retaining a sense of secrecy and misdirection in your own motives and resources, because needed allies might not share a common goal or may be competing with you for resources. They might also need to be tricked/persuaded/forced into helping for various reasons. Also to top all that off, it all is catered to getting someone to that level without instructing about or needing a single self-made Hatsu to beat the game, so there's even more wiggle room for customizing one's load-out in that regard and any Hatsu made up on the spot to help deal with the game, would most likely serve one of the above mentioned problems and would end up most likely being useful in the expedition in some way anyway. Given Ging's showing with getting onto a team that's boarding the black whale one, and dealing with Pariston being their leader, it's actually sort of shown in real-time, how he pulls all these practices off himself, almost effortlessly and off of habit to great effect.

I think it's just how Togashi writes power in general. Nobody or nothing seems too OP in the HxH world, if something is really powerful, it has a big BUT attached to it (like nen restrictions etc.), so this reflects both in nen, in Greed Island, and on the Dark Continent

Maybe this is Me being a Powerscaler but im CONFUSED about Ging's Power. He's around 20 Years older and should of course be at least as talented as Gon, soooo he should be impressively close or even on the level of Netero, Youpi, Pitou, Pouf. Not talking about Gon-san, just Enraged Battle-hardened Gon. I wonder if this is a mistake cause i can barely think of another reason. It's extremly hard to downplay Ging's Superiority to his Son but easy to say he should even be better than a 30 yo Gon cause he got all the stuff making you good at Nen, this has really been illustrated repeatedly to us: Intellect; Creativity

Day 1: in episode 1 the dark continent was foreshadowed the very first part of the hunter exam was a boat voyage. Every official hunter had to be able to withstand harsh sea conditions more then likely because of Isaac nettero's previous trip to the dark continent before he created the hunter association
Finally a new video! I was eagerly waiting Do you have any plans on making a video about Magical beasts and/or the crazy animals/creatures of the HxH world?

Ot never ceases to amaze me how much content these guys can extract from hxh that is putely speculation and give it sense and meaning. The ability of conjure a video out of thin air and oure speculation....
Togashi, he's a mad scientist. The formula to reach your dreams, why Jing says "enjoy the side trips, A LOT" its about the people you meet, Gon Killua, Bisky, Hisoka, and the fun you have along the way. Yusuke, Gon, these are all aspects of Togashi, that he wants us to apply to our life. The Dark Continent is Adulthood, and it's not something to be feared as long as we can do four things. ^.^
I never thought of it like this. Great video!
Love the hxh content, anyway we see a revival of the jjk videos?

Props to the editor, great stuff
That's actually a really good idea there, without having listened to more than 9 seconds of this. I'll be back in a bit (and probably sharing this with my brother I'm certain he'll find this most interesting)
Ging could have done this because he really had no way of knowing exactly how long it would take Gon to find him and it’s possible that the requirements for Ging to go to the Dark Continent would have been fulfilled by that point in time and as such Gon would have also had to go there.
Liam, please never stop making HxH content.
I just thought about a cool idea for a video. Speculating about abilities of background characters. For example Statoz. Or that guy who Meruem ate and got his power. What was his deal? And so on. I think that can be cool.

100% Agree between the links of greed island and the dark continent
Love your videos please make another community post soon❤
You got me at the "Hisokakas"
I'd argue that Greed Island was created to remind hunters of the basics and fundamentals of Nen, as most Hunters have become complacent and satisfied with their current power, even Tsezguerra noticed how he was lacking in the dodgeball fight, it serves as a reminder of how crucial is a solid understanding and mastery of the fundamentals can push you to greater highs.

Awesome written video. Its a classroom. Thanks!
The theory that gon is a greed island card clone of ging hits so hard when he says he has plenty of time to wait. If his opportunity doesn't come within his life I think his initial plan was to take gons body. Which explains why he doesn't care about it gon at all. Because he either found another way or lost the ability to take gons body.
Never linked the two together... pretty spot on idea and whether meant to be or not. It naturally happens this way in the story. Even if not written this way. (Unless you go out of the way to make it so). Great vid. I haven't been excited about hxh since watched the so far last episode a couple years ago.
Its also almost like some of the Greed Island cards are legitimately requirements for the journey; Like the never ending jug of water.
So you're telling me, Ging gamified the Dark Continent?
I always assumed 100 to be the limit to greed island due to such a wide variety of techniques being balanced on top of each other.
Imagine Togashi just subscribed to NewWorldReview and doesn't feel like he needs to write it anymore
Love that this essentially ends in Togashi convergent evolution
It'll always be frustrating to me that there were only 100 copies of the game but not including the main cast there was like maybe 5 nen users who could put up a fight against gon and kil but after they're training arc no one stood close to them in Gi. Maybe Genthru but he was an idiot so
I love this theory. It fits so well, and if Togashi didn't intend it, then it truly was a happy accident. Another fun connection between Greed Island and the Dark Continent is that one of the restricted slot is a "Fickle Genie," who will grant three random wishes out of 1000 you give it. We never even see it, but this card, as well as Breath of Archangel in my opinion, act as very nice, lower power parallels to Nanika, the other wish granter we see in the series. Maybe Ging knew about these wish grantors from the Dark Continent and wanted people to get some practice with how to handle wishing for things. How to use them as a resource rather than an end in themselves.
If this video is about what I think it is it’s something I only thought of recently but greed island is very similar to what the dark continent is. Different monsters that you need different principles of nen to beat.
The area of the Hunter exam in the grassland with the mist also seems to me like a nerfed version of the Dark Continent
Looks like Togashi is not stopping at chapter 410!
This is such a good analysis
I look forward to these videos way to much 😢why can’t they be longer 😢😢😢
It amazes me how bro can keep content going with how little Tokagshi puts out.
i feel like togashi really is projecting himself in the anime through Ging, seeing how Ging was always the driving factor behind the trajectory of the storyline
To some degree, becoming a pro Hunter share similar stages. Getting to the land requires the captain of a ship to like you enough. Not everyone has the means. Not everyone is qualified. The rewards can be positive, but also warnings. Those taking the test are put in environments where many things can unalive them, but there are teamwork opportunities to tackle dangerous enemies (though it doesn't guarantee success).

Ай бұрын
That wasn't on DC, it was in the known world.
I actually have a theory of the Dark Continent, one that I expect is true based on the information we got on Post-Mortem Nen, the Chirema Ants, and Allkuka abilities. This may not win me a lot of fans but hear me out, what I believe Togoshi is setting up is the Inverse of what he did In Yu Yu Hakusho in the Chapter Black Arc with the Introduction of Domain Users and the fact that they could not be defeated with pure strength. But I think Nen works differently on the Dark Continent, what if putting conditions on your Nen ability was to compensate for one's lack of Aura and you need to make your conditions simple so you can use your ability at any moment. What if there is a way for a person to gain more Aura and there is a technique to override a Nen ability on a person which we have seen Hisoka do on the Black Whale. This would mean that a person's Aura Output would be tied to one's strength and while strategy would be important if your opponent is stronger producing less Aura at that moment or is on equal footing with you it may come down to how much power you're putting in your ability and instead of how you use it in battle. The Dark Continent seems to be a more typical depiction of a Battle Shounen World. The reason Togoshi will try to do this is because it will give him more time to focus on the art and less time to worry about the complex battle strategies that are tied to a Nen ability.

The dark continent can only dissapoint for how long we've been waiting
The chimera ants constantly get overestimated, the only reason they became such a huge problem is that they were able to easily adapt to the new environment and multiply quickly. But even with that they still wouldn't of been much of a problem for the hunter association if the chimera ants weren't capable of rapidly evolving from eating humans and consequently gaining nen abilities, they were basically set up for success because they were left alone for too long and severely underestimated at first allowing them to kill lower level hunters and gain nen abilities from eating them.
