It's funny that Dio says Hermit Purple is weak, but isn't it just the Stand's manifestation of Hamon, which is pretty powerful?

I'm always a little fuzzy on the relationship between Hamon and the Hermit Purple-type Stands. I think Araki mentioned Hamon would look like a wire wrapped around the body, which is why Joseph has Hermit Purple.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

Last time on Hunter^2, Morel defeats Cheetahman, Flu Girl still needs Allegra, and Killua is still playing the Octo Expansion. tongue

It’s both incredible & horrifing how unfazed she is during all this insanity.

Oh wow pro players barely make money. Real cutthroat competition there.

Man, no one has any chill with these board games. Isn't the point of these games supposed to learn from losses and get better strategies?

Sheep Girl, I find your odd calm strangely endearing.

@ Lennik: Like you say, Araki's been unclear on the exact relationship between Stands and Hamon, though Eyes of Heaven has Joseph tell (paraphrased) one of the Pillar Men—Esidisi, I believe—Stands are "Spirit Hamon."

That said, I'd imagine Joseph apparently not keeping up much with his Hamon training after Part 2 in part accounts for Hermit Purple being "weak," seeing as Joseph can run Hamon through it.

[down][down]I don't know, they seem less extreme than some of the other nujobs on the show.

King & Komugi both got resolve all right. [tup] [awesome]

Interesting detail to note is that surprisingly the King does not in fact have regeneration.

I am honestly bamboozled by that.

The King is based off both Cell & Frieza.

Guess he ended up with Frieza’s durability there.

[up][up][up] I’ve heard the King is the real MC of this arc.

@Demetrios I feel as if this arc was written without much care about him in mind, at times. Like, he feels more like a supporting character in this arc than he ever did in any other.

Improving as an author, one video at a time.

Well he does have the "absorb power by eating people" skill from Cell.

And geeze, Pouf almost died there. That "confrontation" between the King and Komugi was really riveting.

It’s like back in the Yorknew Arc where Kurapika & the Spiders got the majority focus.

[up][up][up] I think that is correct about this arc.
