Also going to throw this out there, for those new to the show, Kurapika and Leorio will only be "central" the plot in one more arc, the York New City arc. After that they are most relegated to the background.

Nen works more like the Jojo stands than anything from DB to be honest.

Ah. When you said "Hamon", my mind went straight to Jojo, and I couldn't remember any part that was abbreviated DB.

I have a message from another time...

They're back in the forefront in the latest arc in the manga, but that probably won't be adapted into anime for god knows how long.

Just as well, usually The Hero and his bff get the most screentime in Shonen.

A frog song? Isn't that also a spell in some Final Fantasy games?

Well they have a justified reason. Its been made clear that they have their own goals that sadly don't corrolate with Gon & Kil's path.

@ Beary: There's a Toad spell that turns you into—what else—a toad, so close enough.

All I can think about when I see the words "frog song" is that horrid song when Naruto was training with his summons however many episodes ago.

Um... So, this song has a nice beat and chill melody, but the imagery in this video is... well...

Wow, a cool music video for once.

The music reminds me of Mass Effect.

[up]Yeah, the imagery is... not exactly subtle? XD

[up][up][up] Yep, and I actually appreciate that the show employs a rotating cast of characters that can come back later rather than them just sticking around and being window dressing.

@ slim: Woman "jacks in" to some kind of server, only she's writhing around in a suggestive manner as she interfaces.

The video's online in case you want to check it out for yourself.

No, Jiraiya just got the Shanks treatment!

Seriously everything about the Pain arc was great. That pose & introduction they all made was awesome, he's got a killer voice (who voices him?) & the tension they created was astounding.

Pretty much Naruto at its peak.

That'd be Troy Baker as Pain. He's a man of many talents.

[up][up] He really is. His voice as Pain is both serious & badass.

Also anyone think Toonami might show the One Pice movie Strong World since Thriller Bark is almost over & the film is canon & takes place after this arc?
