#I've never seen the hxh fandom in such a state lmao

[justxtalking]

hi hi i was the anon who sent the ask about ging and the granddaughter having the same same name. i ended up shortening my ask bc i thought it was a bit much lol so i hope you dont mind if i just write out the rest of my thoughts :>

on the topic of names, i found it funny how none of the other grandkids got names -- it was always "one of the grandsons" and so on... like the narrative equivalent of going "ok whatever you get the idea," which is so antithetical to the vibe of hxh. the whole point is that we DONT get the idea, it's a deconstruction of the genre...togashi enjoys going in weird and unpredictable directions. he'd never want us to just fill in the blanks like that. especially when he's intent on finishing the story his way.

Hello again! Don't worry, I don't mind it at all.

Well, the whole idea is hilarious, to be honest. We don't even know who they are, those friends and grandkids. I hope in that alternative universe, Ikalgo had a baby squid. And I wouldn't totally scrap the possibility that even the ABC endings were part of the whole joke. He has a weird (and dark) sense of humor, look at some jokes in Hunter X Hunter (a great example is Palm). I feel like the fact that the grandkid was called like Gon's father should have been clear enough lol

Togashi is so chaotic, I love him for that.
