The Dark Continent trio incorrect quotes (part 1)

Just realized we don’t get to see people giving more love to this amazing underrated trio so I decided to go ahead and compile some incorrect quotes (thanks to this guy) for these three idiots. 💕

Linnet: I love you guys, you’re the best thing that’s happened to me!

Zigg: We’re the best thing that’s ever happened to you?

Linnet: Yes.

Netero: I’m starting to feel a little sorry for you.

—

An enemy negotiating with Linnet and Zigg: We have Netero. Give us ten thousand jenny and he will be returned to you unarmed.

Netero: Whoa, whoa, wait, you think I’m only worth ten thousand jenny?

Zigg:

Linnet:

Netero: MAKE IT ONE MILLION-

Linnet: NETERO STOP

—

Linnet, at a restaurant: You guys should get the orange soda, it’s amazing.

Zigg: Okay.

Netero: Okay.

Waiter: Can I get you anything to drink?

Linnet: One orange soda, please!

Zigg: I’ll have the strawberry soda.

Netero: Me too, strawberry soda.

Linnet:

—

Linnet: Let me show you a picture from last night that really upset me.

Zigg: Okay but in my defense, Netero bet me 50 jenny I couldn’t drink all that shampoo.

Linnet: That’s not what I wanted to- you drank SHAMPOO?!

—

Netero: Sometimes I drink milk straight out of the container.

Zigg: The cow??

Netero: What?

Linnet: Zigg, W H Y?

—

Linnet: Zigg and I were crossing the street, and this dude drove by and honked at us.

Netero: *sighing* What did Zigg do?

Linnet: He chased him to the next red light, then reached into his window and…

Zigg: Who wants a steering wheel?

—

Netero: I trust Zigg.

Linnet: You think he knows what he’s doing?

Netero: I wouldn’t go that far.

—

Linnet: What do you think Zigg will do for a distraction?

Netero: He’ll probably, like, make a noise or trow a rock. That’s what I would do.

*Building explodes and several car alarms go off*

Netero: …or he could do that.

—

Linnet to Zigg: My life is in the hands of an idiot!

Zigg, motioning to himself and Netero: No no no no no, TWO idiots!

—

Linnet: Please bring to the base PURIFIED water with NO minerals added for taste.

Zigg: We got spring water.

Linnet: NO.

Netero: with EXTRA minerals.

Zigg: It’s like licking a stalagmite.

Linnet: DON’T COME BACK.

Netero: Mmmmm cave water.

—

Linnet: Are you sure this is the right direction?

Zigg: Certainly, I’m as sure as I am honest!

Netero: In that case, we’re definitely lost.

—

Linnet: If I die, my funeral is going to be the biggest party ever and you’re all invited.

Zigg: If?

Netero: Great, the only party I’ve ever been invited to and she might not even die.

—

Linnet: What’s a word that’s a mix between ‘sad’ and ‘mad’?

Zigg: Disgruntled, miserable, desolated-

Netero: Smad.

—

Linnet: Naturally, we are on the cutting edge of technology.

Zigg, amazed: Wow…

Netero, to Zigg: Well what does that mean?

Zigg: I don’t know.

Zigg, to Linnet: What does that mean?

"ENGAGEMENT RING" WAS NOT SOME WAYWARD TRANSLATION BUT AN ACTUAL LINE IN THE JP MANGA?????? I always thought the reason some translations said, "engagement (ring)," where others used, "prenup," for Illumi and Hisoka's contract was because it was one translator's whim to cause chaos???? Like. It could be read as either of those, but was not necessarily the whole definition.

(x)

But no, I've input the kanji into every translator I could find and they all said roughly the same thing—prenuptial contract. Meanwhile, the furigana (AKA the reading aid consisting of smaller kana printed either above or next to kanji or other characters to indicate their pronunciation), spelled out engagement ring.

I know this might be old news to some but I was today years old when I found out it was so literal????? Togashi really spelled it out in a way ensures we can't misunderstand yet somehow the implications still fly over a few people's heads???????

Idk about y'all but if I was an assassin born and raised on the ideology that an assassin does not need friends and some powerful magician mf just dallies around, telling every person he fights that he's my friend—I'd have killed him by now. I wouldn't trust him with my family secrets. I wouldn't do him any favors.

Or if I was a power-hungry fighter always striving to grow stronger, who grew up in the literal slums and betrays people left and right, I wouldn't put my trust on this pretty assassin either. Even if it's all just manipulations in the end, I wouldn't have any reason to call him, and only him, a friend. I wouldn't give him many, if not all, of my earthly possessions if I were to pass away—even if he isn't the one to kill me.

That's the thing about the contract too, Illumi gets his, "engagement ring," regardless of who kills Hisoka. Illumi's insured, whatever the outcome of this fight may be, so long as Hisoka dies. The funny thing about prenups is it could also be treated as a will of sorts—should one person die, I think it's more commonplace for prenups to include that all valuable assets be given to the widow by default??

Hisoka really did not need to do that, in order to hire Illumi???? Does this mean Hisoka knows and accepts the inevitability of his death on the Black Whale??? Or did his touch with death after fighting Chrollo open his eyes to the fact that he still needed a beneficiary, someone to take his belongings when he dies???? Either way, it's telling that he chose Illumi, of all people, to uphold this extremely important contract...

Anyways. Whether you wanna acknowledge it or not, Hisoka and Illumi have grown to become a pair in the Hunter X Hunter universe, have become the most unlikely, if not terrifying, friends and while the, "engagement ring," or the, "prenup," may not be explicitly romantic, the connotations and the possibilities are still there.

In conclusion, these insane mfs are gay and married, good for them!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

oh no...

[tangsakura]

Rewatching Kurapika vs. Uvo in episode 47 makes me realized (and very much nervous) that Kurapika may lose not only a lot of his lifespan, but his nen later on if he manages to survive the Black Whale.

Right now, he has Chain Jail, which is the most dangerous after Emperor Time. But why? Because he can only use it to subdue Phantom Troupe members.

If, for any chance, Kurapika faces Prince Tserriednich later on, he can use Emperor Time, Steal Chain and the other chains except Chain Jail. But Tserriednich may notice that Kurapika isn't using his middle finger and may form traps to corner him and make Kurapika use Chain Jail, which can make him break the condition and may forfeit his nen. Or Tserriednich might not even trap him - it might be that Kurapika might be forced to use it. I mean, never mind the second nen beast, his current nen ability is super hard to deduce unless he talks it out like Kastro did in Heaven's Arena.

Tserrieddnich is a fast learner and a Nen genius. In just a short amount of time, he has mastered the basics, formed a second nen beast and has already developed this complicated real-time future sight in which the condition to activate it is to be in zetsu. We cannot rule out that he can learn to control his second nen beast and develop a second nen ability in the upcoming future events in the manga.

So I definitely think that Tserriednich and Kurapika's fight will definitely be interesting and difficult. There will definitely be a battle of the minds here as well.

Anyways, that's all for me. See ya.

I can't believe that the first post I put out from the dead is a sh*tpost and it's not even about hisomachi.

hxh Chapter 395: Founding: Part 1

Ohm yg od oh my god I love this chapter!!!!!!

So let’s get started

Spoilers... What else??

I’m deciding to use the viz translations since I didn’t review yesterday and they come out on sundays so yeaaa

Ok so we begin with Hinrigh who has Cracked The Code on the Heil-Ly base thing

They’re gonna go after those two guys and...... To be honest I don’t care if they end up dying!!!! Go ahead!! I forgot their names already and Togashi’s going to need to manage the like 60 new characters that he’s made this arc...

Man, I miss Kurapika and the Zodiacs and the Princes and Beyonds team... hm... 

Like these characters I love and all like Lynch and Zakuro and Tserriednich’s Militia people and Hinrigh but Man where did everybody else go????

Well good news is later this chapter we at least have the troupe!!

(Togashis trying to tell us to enjoy the little detours-- to the fullest)

Volksen ever. Apparently her officially translated name is like Bork something but Volk is a lot better in My opinion and people spell Giuliano like Juliano all the time so does it Really Matter?

Volk makes me think of a Volkswagen car and Bork makes me think she has an acidic reflux I’m sorry.

Also Otocin = Otoshin (doesn’t really matter to me) and Momolly = Momori (Momori is way cooler sorry so I will also be saying Momori) 

I also permanently associate Volksen with octopi now but that’s besides the point.

Anyways enough about the 6 People from last chapter let’s move on. 

Fun fact I still cant remember his freaking name What Is it Somebody please say It nobody has said it in the past 5 chapters and I’m confused but anyways. 

He says the Phantom troupe are checking out 3102 (next to the trap room 3101) because they think there might be a Hideout behind rooms 3101-3103 and of course they’re being insane about it, since to them it doesn’t matter if they have a plan or not. 

He’s been talking a lot about people being captured..... Togashi? Is this going to be another big theme??

He needs some water or some skin moisturizer or something He can’t be living like this dude look how dry that skin is...

Anyways they're threatening this guy to get in the room as you do.

I’m going to thank Togashi forever for visuals because without them in this arc I would be entirely lost.

I really don’t have any sympathy for this guy but Imagine if three guys just came into your room and then cut a hole in your bathroom.

I’m sorry but in this panel he looks so emo it’s... It’s the hair and the... The everything looks extra emo.

I love this conversation cause it opens new parallels between the mafia and the troupe, which Phinks, Feitan, and Nobunaga are already involved with and it gives some more insight, but also What is Nobunaga holding right now.

Is that like a ball of light or something

And why is it the only one there

Anyways enough of looking at random details its its

ITS FLASHBACK TIME

When I saw this page spread I kid you not I think I went crazy for a second. It’s a callback to the flashback in chapter... 102 (the panels were redrawn!!!!!!@2442454##$#%^$#)

I was right with Chrollo being the one on the left and Franklin being the one on the right closest to the tape, but I thought Shalnark would be the one sitting in front of the elder, and Phinks was the one running at the bottom..... However..

THE ONE WITH THE CURLY WAVY HAIR IS SHALNARK.......... (broken heart crying emoji /pos) 

God I love this Flashback Look at them all. Shalnark and Chrollo are my best guess at like 9 years old and Franklin is probably like uhh 16 or something.

Franklin has a Oldest-brother-that-is-cool-and-is-in-college-while-you-are-in-middle-school vibe which I’m not being super specific about you guys have to know what I’m talking about right.

Tbh this part felt a bit like I was on something but it’s ok it works out!

I love how they have Territory like its warrior cats. Like theyre those kids on the playground that would play warriors (definitely not me /s) But its taken to the actual extreme and they actually fight.

I’m guessing Uvo is also 16 but Puberty just hit him in the face with an iron bat. He’s like the Average bully archetype but also taken to the extreme because they live in a dump city.

Machi... She’s just... She’s like 5 or 6 years old oh my god she’s a literal baby actually... and she’s just handing Uvo a “Murder Weapon” they would probably call it. 

Baby Syanorke being a little smartass and then Immediately getting hit in the head with a plank of wood and passing out This was like the funniest part ever

Look at him tumble

...

Wait

.....

No...

NOOO.......

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOLY CRAP

...Anyways let’s move past that...

Fist fight Immediately 1 v 1

The low quality running of the little guy I can’t believe he’s a little guy

HELP ME THIS IS TERRIFYING WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE THAT 

He is also Average bully archetype No. 2 but a different flavor for sure...... His hair looks like a walnut Phinks what are you doing.... 

Umm ok so Age guesstimate... the first appearance Phinks looks older and then he looks smaller in the other panel... So I’m gonna say he’s like 13 and Feitan... 

...

Yea I have no Idea let’s just say 13 as well.

Get wrecked. I only noticed the arrow now so hopefully you see it too now.

The little guy the little thief 

Meteor city civilization real

AGAIN WITH THE PEOPLE GETTING CAPTURED AND STUFF??

Ok so Basically 

Since Meteor city residents technically don’t exist since they don’t have any form of identification, that means it was legal to kidnap them, kill them, commit crime against them etc since they technically “weren’t human”...

A while later to prevent this, Meteor city allied with the mafia to be safe, but before that there were hundreds of victims and 70% of them were under 15.

Their ties with the mafia grew stronger, and Nen abilities came about the elders, and a pledge was made (The law of retribution): 

“Only life can compensate for a life.”

“We’ll accept anything you leave here, but don’t ever take anything away from us.” (a note left at the kurta massacre, if it rings a bell) 

And so with all this going on the Phantom troupe formed 12234543

PAKUNODA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love her hair so much here its real 

This is so adorale im cyring .........

Ddue just became a part of the council at 9 years old I guess!

Tiny Just tiny little ones

POWER CLEANERS HELP 

MIGHTY SWEEPIN POWER CLEANERS

He also created dubbing wow /s 

IM CYRING AGAIN ........ So Paku must be like 8 or something but they have an Older sister Younger brother dynamic lol 

SHEILA?!?!?! You mean the lady in volume 0 who looks uncannily similar to Pariston Hill? 

...*snif* *sniffleef* eu......e.ue ,, 

Omg its Sheila and Sarasa... Sheila still has her silly rat ears...

I like Sarasa she’s a little silly and I wonder if she’ll be relevant too but as far as I know I dont remember her.

hehe im just imagining all of them just sitting down and watching a really badly dubbed but endearing episode of the power ra-cleaners.

D Hunter.... 

I live them that’s all I have to say

Oh god More human trafficking 

Even worse child trafficking... Yea this is going to be relevant 

And then It just skips back to them peacefully HELP 

To be continued!!! Yea nothing bad happening here totally

I’m guessing since the Title of the chapter is Founding: Part 1 that we’re still going to be in the flashback in part 2 since there’s still stuff that needs to happen.

I mean we still have yet to see 12 year old Nobunaga and what about the whole Council thing?? 

Oh god wait somebody may get captured during the screening NO 

And why is it called founding?? The troupe is officially founded I think when they’re like mm... I wanna say maybe 6 or 7 years older so maybe there’s a time skip idk.

Anyways keep being silly Goofer man Behave yourself.

(remember the hunter exam applicant form or wtv in the 1999 version well I wanted to draw them so here ignore the bad coloring and shading i made this at 2 am) 

[mr-shimurka]

Idk why I chose this colors, but them>>>>>>>>>
