I haven't read the manga outside the current arc. I do think it's shown much better in '99 but it's not completely absent in 2011. Gon explicitly tells Killua he's his first friend within an episode or two of meeting and I believe the villagers state that Gon's spends his time in the woods. The omission of Kite in 2011's beginning is outright bullshit, that's a big mistake. So I don't think it was completely absent but not done very well in the early sections for the newer adaption.

From the HxH Wikia: "Shaiapouf's name, like all of the Royal Guards, comes from the Egyptian god Shai and a character named Pouf from a French children's book series called Caroline et ses Amis."

Beat the True End on Hard. Pretty much done with WoL 'cause I'm satisfied that I've improved enough to do that.

The worst one.

The term is meaningless no matter how it's used.

No, he mostly ignored the village. The only relationships he had outside Mito were Kite [mentor] and his great-grandmother [family. None were his age since he didn't interact with the only other kid in the village, making Killua essentially his first actual friend. And being raised by a caring family doesn't negate the impact of not having a parent. Children raised by secondary family members are believed to have higher risk of emotional/mental health issues, though the research is fairly limited. Mental disorders are also found to have biological components and Ging is shown to have likely antisocial traits, even as a renowned Hunter, he's hated by most people that know about him in more detail. None of that means he can't be friendly with the villagers, to be clear, but it falls in line with what's known about psychological disorders. You have a probable biology, a lack of consistent social interaction, and a fill-in parental figure. How good of a parent Mito was [and she had her faults, such as being unable to get Gon to socialize and eventually letting him run around a dangerous forrest unattended despite not approving of it] is pretty irrelevant. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4398590/ http://triggered.edina.clockss.org/ServeContent?rft_id=info:doi/10.1093/brief-treatment/mhn016 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2083282/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK55333/

I don't know what normal or well-adjusted must mean to you if Gon's upbringing sounds normal or well-adjusted.

Not going to bother replying to most of that since reading it is tedious snd redundant. I was pretty clearly stating that the characters, regardless of how bad of people they are, have redeeming qualities. Hisoka isn't about to go on a redemption quest like the hokey bs a show like One Piece or Bleach or DBZ would pull if a bad guy changes sides, but isn't opposed to helping someone if he can get something out of it. I'm not sure what part of Gon is confusing, what I've stated about him is consistent with the show and present from the get-go. He's not really that hard to understand just because he has more to him than Goku's dumber than a rock and wanna fight modus operandi that encompasses the entirety of his personality.

That seems like a misquote. If not, a poorly phrased statement but even so the context should have made it clear I wasn't saying the series presents Hisoka positively, especially when it's well-established that he acts primarily on what's entertaining. The point being it does lead to sometimes helping people despite it being in self-interest. That sort of behavior, regardless of the simplicity, is stronger characterization than something like Aizen whose just a bad dude who does bad things because evil. It's also stronger characterization than having Kirito grow the most off-screen and fluctuate in personality dramatically because of it. Gon is pretty consistent in what's been described, as well. Either way, whatevz.

Lol Sounds like a disaster.

There's an item (the scythe) and a couple final smashes that can insta-kill at over 100%. You can turn those off if it matters too much. And, like, 1 stage with hazards that do, but that stage was on Wii U and sucked every bit then as it does now.

You're literally impossible to have a discussion with. Like, you'll ignore all ythe nonsensical character contradictions of Kirito because you like SAO, but even the simplest of characterization is some massive flaw in anything you don't like. A part of good characterization is conflicts that make characters behave differently or in contrary to their normal actions based on circumstance. Hisoka will help others, but he's a pretty simple character and it always has a selfish motive. That's not a contradictory statement. Really, explaining baby's first writing lessons has become super boring again. I've had my fill.

The more he goes, the worse the show sounds and the sadder the thread gets.

I'd argue that may have contributed to the failure, but the game just sort of sucked. Smash keeps the game moving with stage hazards, a bunch of items, and deaths from going too far off screen. It gives incentive to chase people off the ledge and to rack up damage with the damage to launch ratio. They removed the blast zone. You could only kill with supers that were unreasonably slow to build, the stages were too large (and barren) for a gane where the premise wasn't to kill by knocking off stage, and the attacks/movement was so sluggish it was almost always one hit, run across the stage, hit, run across stage, despite the movement being unbearable. What's the fucking point of a damage/launch ratio when you literally cannot kill by launching off stage? It's terrible game design, you have to deal damage to get a special within a century, but when you deal damage they're no longer near you after a single shot, with absolutely no benefit to doing it. It's like punishing you for doing well. And this was released well after Brawl. Brawl had like 37 characters. Allstars had 24. 7 years later, they scrapped together 13 fewer characters (most that nobody wanted) in an inherently worse game. It was just bad. Honestly, at least PS Classic has some good or recognizable games. Allstars was through and through cynical corporatist crap that entirely missed the point of Smash Bros. I only played it briefly and its existence still peeves me.

I'd like a 3 real counterfeit passport, a counterfeit real passports, and twelve real counterfeit real passport please thank you w w w . realbuypassportnotfakewebsite .cchttps:www.//:?

No, there's plenty of examples before then. That's just the main arc explicitly about it. The Phantom Troupe get quite a bit of humanization, even though they're still terrible people. Hisoka is almost always treated as a terrible person, even with the rare good deed. The chimera ants nearly slaughter a nation and literal side characters get enough characterization to put virtually any shonen protagonist to shame. It's also pretty common for everyone in the show to think Gon is weird at best, if not completely crazy. Are you serious about the Zoldyks? They're treated as being terrible people. They have eccentric attributes but nobody thinks they're good people. Do you think villains are required to be super serious to be considered bad?

Wat, is it a one-time play for the demo? That's stupid.

I was thinking of a real list but just watched the first episode of Lord of Vermillion and decided I'm going with that instead. The first scene is enough of a genius masterpiece in its own right that the rest of the show doesn't really matter.

There's an entire 60 episode arc that explores Gon's moral instability. Having a questionable protagonist doesn't make a series bad, for me it makes it much more interesting than one that's just good all the time since they tend to still do shitty things that get treated like a messiah's actions. A large part of the show is essentially that nobody is really good, but most aren't really bad. Even Hisoka does things to help Gon, but not because he's a good person or changed sides, and he doesn't really gain anything beyond observing someone he's interested in. The CEO thing? Turns out I said sociopath but it's apparently psychopath. Not as in "serial killer," more about personality traits. Try Harvard (doesn't have that number): https://hbr.org/2004/10/executive-psychopaths Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.com/ceos-often-have-psychopathic-traits-2017-7 Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/on-small-business/wp/2016/09/16/gene-marks-21-percent-of-ceos-are-psychopaths-only-21-percent/?utm_term=.e597f711c6be Real easy to Google, by the way. I'll respond to the rest eventually, gotta go to work and too lazy at the moment anyway. But will say the border wall comment may have made me lose several IQ points.

There was literally only one other kid in the village. That was explicitly stated in the first episode. Mito homeschooled him. Villages with 2 kids don't tend to have schools. Even the reason for Mito agreeing to let him leave is explored, since she taught him to be honest and accepted his bet as an apology for lying about his dad being dead. But Goku is more of a sociopath than Gon. Doesn't he deliberately put worlds in danger for the sake of getting a better fight on a number of occasions? Like, he could've won already but lets a galactic-Hitler go so he can fight against it when it's stronger? There's plenty of critique early on [you only watched like 25, dude, you didn't make it through most of Heavens Arena which ends at 36]. They just don't monologue about it like in most shonens where they describe in excruciating detail the flaws of a character immediately before resolving it.

Who are you again?

Okay, but you're still the one looking at dog porn.

That was honestly one of the worst fights in 2011, though. What was shown in '99 was also better. The cutoff sucked, but they explained literally everything just as clearly in, like, half the time.

I honestly think the first arc 2011 definitively wins out on is Greed Island, which is literally the last arc it covers. Phantom Troupe is great in both, but even then it's about even. Heavens Arena is also better in '99 with a couple alterations I didn't like [Gido after Hisoka? Lolwhy?].
