HxH and HTTP Status Codes

The HTTP 403, 404, and 405 references in the Hunter Exam (as foreshadowing or character-summaries) is so sickening, but at the same time it's hard to deny that Togashi probably was referencing them, considering that the manga came out in 1998 while HTTP codes were a thing since 1992-1993 (and he spent a whole page explaining what the internet and computers were). It could definitely be a coincidence, but the definitions of what 403, 404, and 405 end up meaning is something we see as the stories have progressed.

For context, these are the Error Codes, and as the reader I think you may already guess and connect the dots on why I find the correlations so intriguing:

403 Forbidden: Leorio

The request contained valid data and was understood by the server, but the server is refusing action. (Wikipedia) The client does not have access rights to the content; that is, it is unauthorized, so the server is refusing to give the requested resource. Unlike 401 Unauthorized, the client's identity is known to the server... re-authenticating makes no difference. The access is tied to the application logic, such as insufficient rights to a resource. (Mozilla)

404 Not Found: Kurapika (We all know this)

The requested resource could not be found but may be available in the future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible. (Wikipedia) A 404 status code only indicates that the resource is missing: not whether the absence is temporary or permanent. If a resource is permanently removed, use the 410 (Gone) status instead. (Mozilla)

405 Method Not Allowed: Gon (Though I think the name of the error can speak for itself)

The request method is known by the server but is not supported by the target resource. (Mozilla) A request method is not supported for the requested resource. (Wikipedia)

Further thoughts:

While it's possible that this can definitely be a stretch or a coincidence, it sure is an interesting way to look at it. And even if Togashi did not intend for these to connect, it makes me even more interested to continue reading HxH to see how long they'll connect until they're no longer applicable.

404 interests me because of "temporary unavailable" and "it may be available again in the future", so I wonder if that's applicable not only to Kurapika himself but to the Kurta Clan as well, considering we're entering the Dark Continent and I've already seen a theory on the Kurta Clan originating from the DC one way or another (reddit links)

Think of these as an allegory or metaphor

Just wanted to tell you that I love your blog and headcanons! It's all so beautifully self indulgent yet still in character. I saw on your Hisoka hugging headcanons that you had thoughts on him wanting to form bonds and being unable to - would you be willing to share? 🖤 Thank you and have a great day!

Manga spoilers up ahead!!

Hisoka is an interesting character in the way he is portrayed. In contrast to Illumi’s tragic life story and Chrollo’s quest for self identity, Hisoka is possibly the most complete in terms of self actualization. He is completely aware of the type of person he is, unlike Illumi who denies the most basic of truths, and is satisfied with who he is, unlike Chrollo who is searching for a meaning greater than him. But, the main difference that separates him from the other two is that Hisoka is completely, and utterly alone.

When you think of scenes with Hisoka, what always strikes me is how I see him as a singular force. You never associate him and his plans with anyone else. It’s mostly him scheming or planning ahead by himself. Or if he were part of a group, always someways away from everyone else, as if he too is aware of the barrier that exists between him and the rest of the world.

Note how based on how the troupe is facing, you can see how Hisoka is sitting some ways off away from them. I doubt they would actively avoid him, and he positions himself away from them instead.

He doesn’t have a group to call his, or friends to rely on. He has an interesting relationship with Illumi where they both behave like partners in crime, but the truth is that the only reason why this relationship is capable of working is because Illumi himself is so far out of it. Illumi is so removed from the semblance of normalcy and basic understanding of how the average man functions that he assumes that whatever relationship he has with Hisoka is normal.

If you really sit and think about it, Hisoka doesn’t need to interact in such a way with people. He could just keep to himself and reduce all interactions with others. But he doesn’t. He purposefully seeks people out, and just because he is who he is, their interactions never go well.

And you can see this clearly whenever Hisoka interacts with other characters. While we have obvious interactions like with Gon and Killua, I think his interactions with the Phantom Troupe really solidifies the type of person he is. They’re a gang of misfits from Meteor City, and even they can’t accept him for who he is. Multiple times through the series do members like Nobunaga, Feitan and Uvogin express their dislike for Hisoka, and if people from a literal trash town who will accept anything think there’s something wrong with you, you definitely have a screw loose.

Coupled with his high intellect and immaturity, this creates a strange superiority complex where he believes himself to be better than everyone as an explanation to them not understanding him. I cannot say which came first, the exclusion or the sense of superiority, but either way they feed into each other and create a difficult cycle to break from. It’s a very childish mentality, something Hisoka just never grew out of it.

But he still wants to have relationships with people, no matter how small or insignificant it seems. What’s interesting is that in psychology, overall well-being which very simply measures “levels of happiness” is most heavily influenced by the quality of relationships we have. There’re multiple studies that show how positive relationships, which is described as relationships filled with care and support as well as promoting one’s sense of value, is the strongest predictor for our well-being, and highly influenced mortality rates, protection against mental illnesses and overall physical health. This is regardless of whether one is introverted or extroverted. So no matter how much one tries to deny it, it’s very human to want to maintain and forge these relationships.

Which we can see Hisoka trying over, and over again.

With Machi.

With Kurapika.

And of course, with Gon.

And each time, he’s attempts at forming what he deems normal conversations are rejected.

And it’s very interesting to see how he interacts with Gon. While one can argue that this is for the sole purpose of preparing him as the ultimate opponent ever, you can also argue that this is done to make Gon indebted to him, or simply put, some as a favor. This is seen in Heaven’s arena, where he warns both Killua and Gon of what is to come on the 200 floor.

And this is even in situations where he doesn’t need to do it. Like in Greed Island.

He tries to explain things to Gon when he doesn’t need to. There’s no need for him to teach Gon about the situation seeing how he would have just learned it from Bisky, Killua or even Tsezguerra. But thing is, he wanted to.

Or even the dodgeball game, where he breaks all his fingers to let Gon have the type of victory he wanted over Razor. Even if his efforts aren’t appreciated, even if he’s just seen as a glory hog at the end.

But he does so anyway. He wants to feel included, he wants to have friends, to have a group of people he can rely on, whether he actually fully realizes this or not.

The problem is that he doesn’t know how to create such bonds.

And this sense of loneliness manifest itself in the only way Hisoka knows to express his feelings: by fighting.

To him, fighting is like a conversation, a way for him to understand people and talk to them as equals, where your only judge is your strength.

Hisoka has developed into an adult that is incapable to forming genuine relationships with people because he is ultimately a self-serving two face snake. His actions kill Pakunoda (indirectly) and Shalnark (directly)

I’m not saying that his actions are justified. But when you combine an inflated ego, sense of entitlement and desire for acknowledgement, and roll them all together into a walking killing machine, you create a very deadly person who is indiscriminate in his actions.

Hisoka wants to form bonds, he craves that sense of acknowledgement that others have, which is why I believe he’s so enamored by Gon and Killua’s relationship. He wants that for himself. They’s a video here which describes Hisoka as what Gon could have been if he had no morals, and they’re fundamentally right. Setting aside characteristics, both characters have a single minded focus and are inherently selfish; Hisoka was willing to jeopardize the whole troupe by working with Kurapika in order to fight Chrollo, while Gon was willing to sacrifice his own arms and the plan he, Bisky and Killua made in order to fight Genthru on his own terms.

The only difference is that Gon is still a child, he’s 14 at this point in the manga and is capable of changing and growing. We don’t officially know how old Hisoka is, but he’s an adult and based on the type of person he is, he isn’t the type to engage in self growth. It’s hard to tell if Hisoka realizes his need for forming relationships with others in his life. He believes he has everything figured out, and knows the type of person he is; but unless he can openly acknowledge his need for acknowledgement from others, deflate his ego, and learn to care for others beyond selfish means, I don’t think he’ll be capable of receiving that sense of belonging he’s searching for.

This official art always makes me think that Baji just pointed out his crush to the guys but specifically told them not to look. Of course they all look anyway and now he's trying to hide/ speed walk away out of embarrassment

Do you think hiei not telling yukina he is her brother was the right thing to do narrative wise?

In the context of the story we have? Yes, it was the right storytelling choice. It was the option that made the most sense based on how Hiei and Yukina were developed.

The story of YYH ends abruptly, and Yukina was not sufficiently developed enough for her to carry the weight of that storyline (or any storyline that focuses on her, tbh). I don't think Hiei was developed to support that kind of plot, either. At the end of YYH, he is content to not tell her. If a confession were shoehorned into the last chapters, it wouldn't fit his characterization at all. We would need an additional Hiei-focused storyline to develop his character to the point where a confession would make sense for him. And we would also need much, MUCH more Yukina development for her reaction to hold proper weight.

So in the context of the narrative as-is, it was the right choice. If we HAD gotten the confession in YYH as we know it, it would've come out of nowhere and been dropped just as abruptly, which would feel weird and unsatisfying.

If we had gotten another arc or two in which both Yukina and Hiei were given moments to grow and shine, and if they were consciously developed in the direction of a confession, I could see said confession becoming the correct narrative choice as dictated by their additional development. But YYH as-is can't support it.
