Hunter x Hunter. When realism cannot describe reality!

Hunter x Hunter is a Japanese manga by Yoshihiro Togashi that became anime in 1999, and then the anime was re-produced with better quality in 2011... Now, In Anime Drawer, I will only deal with philosophical aspects of the anime, and I am not writing an academic or professional review of it... But just describe what I felt during follow-up this legendary action feat genius, which is rarely repeated in the history of Japanese art and the whole world!

The manga of "Togashi", was the embodiment of the plot, the projection, and the scenario. Unquestionably, The extent of the culture and the ability of Togashi's knowledge, as well as the characterization and evolution of characters, and the increasing frequency of events, as well as the creativity of Madhouse.

From a philosophical point of view, all the traditional concepts we have come to collide with a new vision, such as: the sonship, the paternity, and the conflict that always exists between them, the friendship and the sacrifice that are not coupled with the logic of boring, revenge, justice and the test of principles... About the contradiction between human beings, and between rich and poverty is a tragedy, and a war that comes on everything and leaves it desolated, this contradiction will not feel the sense of humans certainly, they are immersed in the mud that can not see the truth, but when realism cannot describe the reality, Be aware of it, this ugly reality, this monster carries human qualities!!


* Important note *: The next paragraphs contain spoiling of some events.



The beginning of the anime is that quiet, dreamy island, where the hero of our story grows up and grows with his aspirations and questions about his father who has been absent for some time!!

Goes the test of hunters to become like his father, who took him as an example and he never lived with him... He succeeded in the test and got what is better than the victory, which is accompanied by the humiliation of the hardships of the path he imposed on himself, and the closest to him, the boy from Zoldyck family and the best commander waiting for the family famous for the murder for the reward.

From here "Togashi" paints a character paradox: "Killua Zoldyck", which we loved more than the hero of the story itself. Here lies the genius in drawing the characteristics of psychological characters and conflict with themselves and with the outside, which imposes themselves.

We go back to Gon, who quick to find out that he is on the path paved for him by his father, Jin Freecss.

Jin Freecss

"Jin" who did not make an effort in the upbringing of his son, and despite this knew that he will follow this path?! Are we facing a technical dilemma in the formulation of the event or a supernatural intuition along the lines of supernatural powers such as "ninja" and others?!

Then we wonder if each of us has a trail for him to walk on? This debate, which exhausted research and speculation!! Who has the right to pave the paths of our lives? Do the parents have the right to make the path paved with flowers and then realize that reality is another very ugly face... Jin Freecss is the road's slave and cradle to Gone, but he left the path muddy and dark and full of obstacles and suffering.

How did Jin know that his son would not rest for life on a remote island But he chose to train the suffering of his father in order to find his father? ... Prepared a good kit for Gon's help to reach him.

I think that without the cruelty of Jin, he would not have survived in a world like a world where our story was woven.

It will not be possible to enumerate the characteristic features of both the characters and achieve the height of the pace of the plot and feel this growth pace in the tension of your feelings up and down, and your association with the heroes even the bad guys!

1 - Killua Zoldyck

Let me be a little bit petty when it comes to "Killua". The 12-year-old boy Killua, who was in trouble and his childhood was hell... He was mentally and physically configured to become Zoldyck's leader: exposing him to electricity, non-sleep, But that is what made Killua, ignoring his infantile needs to have a friend, and being keen to appear as a professional "killer" who knows no compassion or Shows passion, all this infuriates his brothers' hatred, he will become the expected leader of the family. 

As it narrows up with his older brother trusteeship "Iillumi " forcibly imposed on him by!

Killua is fighting the hunters' elections and is working hard to break the path that his family has set for him. Here lies the contradiction of Killua and Gon, one of them walking on the path he has entered and the other breaking it. He meets his companion, Gon, to intertwine their fate and go into the unknown.

Of any logical considerations foolishly; only because Killua felt that with his companion is not a "machine to kill," but an ordinary child seeking to free himself from his family restrictions!!

2 - the king of the ants "Meruem Sama"

Here we have an exceptional stand with the wonderful great Togashi that Togashi made in his spirit. He came out on this creativity, "The Chimera Ants," which marks the emergence of new characters intertwined with the destinies of the main heroes such as The Best of them "Meruem", the professional Mawaroo, Nouf, and a lot of the Chimera ants with human characteristics.

Here, where "Togashi" begging malicious and deceit the dilemma of survival!!! ... Stay for whom?? The dilemma of human/animal duplication and duplication of good and evil within the human psyche and in societies, so that it is impossible to duplicate richness, poverty, war, and peace to a very ugly we used to it, we no longer despise it!!!

Like the half-distorted monster Faust, expressed by Goethe, the German philosopher, in his famous play, we see "Togashi" excelling in describing a monster of another kind as a hybrid:

In the famous play "Faust," expressed by Goethe - the German philosopher - in his famous play, we see "Togashi" exclaiming in the description of a monster of another kind hybrid "Meruem: the king of ants," which is the combination of many strings Animal and human. This monster, who wants to stand on the throne of beings and become their king.

This monster at first, born with the conviction that the strongest and the survival for those like him of strength and courage and savvy to conquer the weak! ... And then change his conviction driven by some human emotion, which suddenly struck when we meet weakness Human being represented in the blind girl "Komugi".

The Official Cover of the Arch of "Chimera Ants"

How to seek knowledge and how to a pursuit of knowledge. The realization of the facts of things is his preoccupation even if he comes to his Hellenic plans to make an army of powerful "born" mutants... Wants to know a lot about himself, how the world walks out, and then wonder about biological and mental development, Is it better to stay?!

Then guide himself to let go of his human qualities of compassion and attention and fairness of the weak and criticism of the duality and the ugliness of the world after its crushing defeat against human savagery and oppression!!
