So since the manga is coming off hiatus, the dark continent arc will go back into full swing. And since we know that the dark continent arc will be even more hellish than the chimera ant arc, I’d like to remind everyone about the purpose of Togashi’s writing, specifically as it relates to the main four.

I think a lot of us either don’t understand or forget exactly why Togashi chooses to put the main four through such peculiar, brutal hell. And we know that Hunter x Hunter is not a typical shounen manga at all - it’s one reason why we love it so much. But I’ve noticed that the fandom asks for complex characters, and when actually given complex characters, reduces them to a single trait or single mistake instead of looking at them holistically. Which is a shame, given that Togashi’s put a lot of work into developing his protagonists. The point of each arc is to develop the protagonists.

I’ll start with Kurapika. The Yorknew City arc showed Kurapika in his most ruthless, single-minded, bitter light. That turned a lot of people off - there were comparisons between Kurapika and Sasuke, even though Hunter x Hunter came out before Naruto, and even though there are significant differences between their characters. People lambasted him for killing Uvogin (even though Uvogin is not a hero and not a good person) and began sympathizing with the Genei Ryodan (even though the troupe specializes in murder and robbery, including murder of innocent people). That aside, a lot of people forget the critical thing that the Yorknew City Arc revealed: no matter how angry Kurapika is, and no matter how focused he is on his goals, he will never sacrifice his friends to achieve his goals. Chrollo himself said this, when he realized that “Kurapika’s weakness is that he’ll save his friends before killing me”. The whole point of Kurapika’s revenge is for his massacred clan. What ultimately drives Kurapika, besides revenge or anger, is the strong love he holds for his friends. Togashi shows us that even though Kurapika can be completely ruthless and reckless, he still maintains a core of love for his friends, logic, and rationality. But, he’s also shown us that Kurapika has a long way to go before he truly calms down for good and stops recklessly pursuing revenge. And that’s okay. He’ll get there, with the help of his friends. Kurapika is someone who needs to be with his friends. When he is alone, his morality and mental health are at its lowest.

This is a really good HxH meta and it surmises all the best narrative points of the main four. I urge everyone in the fandom, both old and new, to read this. Since a lot of people will get back into the full swing of HxH with the next update, this is a good chance to remember the characters we know and love - and to those who still hold contempt for a character’s action without understanding its purpose (i.e.: Gon during CA, Kurapika during YC, etc), maybe this will help you see them in a better light now that you’re more distant from the manga.
