Hunter x Hunter Strikes Back: Togashi Introduces the BEST Chapter That Silences the Critics!
Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter is back, and Chapter #406 has silenced critics with its incredible artwork and gripping storytelling. Over the years, the manga has faced criticism for its simple art and heavy dialogue, especially during the Succession War arc. These issues were often linked to Togashi’s health struggles, as severe back pain made it hard for him to draw. However, the latest chapter proves Togashi is back in form, showcasing some of the series' best artwork in years.
Chapter #406 features two breathtaking double spreads, a rare sight in recent Hunter x Hunter releases. The first spread captures Phantom Troupe members walking through the intricate and mechanical depths of the Black Whale, while the second depicts a crowd at Prince Halkenburg's funeral with stunning detail. The chapter not only advances the story but also serves as a reminder of Togashi’s exceptional artistic talent.
Improved Health and Elevated Art
Togashi has always been known for his exceptional art, even in the early Hunter x Hunter arcs. From the intense battles of the Chimera Ant arc to the detailed backdrops of the Succession War, his ability to craft breathtaking visuals has never been in doubt. Chapter #406 continues this legacy, featuring intricate shading, dynamic perspectives, and evocative character expressions. Fans are delighted to see that Togashi’s improved health has allowed him to return to top form.
The dialogue-heavy nature of the Succession War arc has also been a point of contention, but Togashi clarified that the added complexity was intentional. The extra dialogue enhances character development and gives depth to the story, making the intricate web of alliances and betrayals even more compelling.
Exciting Plot Developments
The recent chapters, starting with #401, have been nothing short of extraordinary. Key revelations include Beyond Netero’s true villainous role, Chrollo’s evolving plans, and Prince Halkenburg’s mysterious “death.” Togashi has masterfully connected multiple plotlines, from the Phantom Troupe’s heist of Kakin treasures to the Mafia’s growing influence on the Succession War. Fans, who were once worried about the series balancing its sprawling storylines, are now reassured by Togashi’s ability to tie everything together seamlessly.
With Togashi reportedly in better health and working steadily, the future looks promising for Hunter x Hunter. He has completed 23 chapters so far and aims to reach 30 by year’s end. Fans can rejoice as the series moves toward its climax with unmatched pacing, art, and storytelling. Now is the perfect time to dive back into this legendary manga as it reaches new heights.
