    Gege is clearly inspired by Togashi, which is a fantastic thing imo

    I wonder if some anime-onlies will incorrectly think the snow lanscape is Yuji's domain

    Yeah for sure, i remember people saying he was inspired by hxh specifically but i see more Yu Yu hakusho in here. Hxh is referenced more superficially like with quotes or techniques and s***, in terms of storytelling this thing is yyh and bleach coded

    invented what?

    It was a joke based on the few references to hxh in this episode alone. They're a big fan!

    can you post them?

    Honestly I know gege is a big fan of Togashi but I always thought jjk was more inspired by bleach and naruto cause he also admired them alot and has come out to say so.

    S***s about to end, it was a good season

  • That ending pissed me off lol

  • Dec 14, 2023

    nice

    Blackflashes are meant to be rare events where you hit the perfect sweetspot which borders on luck. Its like throwing a 3 pointer from far outside the pitch or scoring a difficult freekick in football. But once you did it you understand more about your own capabilities and are more likely to replicate it.

    Yuji hitting them like he does it on purpose is maybe a hint to the real scope of his talent.

    Its not random 1% like in a videogame. It is skillbased. But also so difficult it might as well be luck

    I feel like some powers have had a lot left to subtext, but I haven't watched S1 in so long that maybe it was explained then and I just forgot

    He's probably talking about Todo's lost arm and prayer, which were very reminiscent of Netero's fight against Meruem.

    A reference I thought was cool was when Nanami did the Gon Jajanken pose against Haruta earlier in the season (this only happened im the anime tho)

    There are more broad examples like cursed Energy being inspired by Nen (binding vows, restrictions, etc)

    One thing I caught and thought was interesting was the use of gender neutral characters like Uraume and Kirara, which I feel pulls inspiration from Togashi.

    Ive read HXH and fail to see any references this episode. And got damn does Gon trademark a crouching punch stance? Anytime someone does it, they say its a reference when it may just be a normal ass punch lol I’m tired of people calling things references just because two characters standing the same. Just so many ways you can do stuff.

    As the other user said I can see some of the stuff. Restrictions and binding vows are a clear nod to hxh but the overall power system we talked about this before is nothing like Nen. In jjk youre born with your power genetically and cant change that. Donains are also way more bankai than anything from hxh

    I dont think togashi got a trademark on gender fluid characters and the punching pose. Maybe Gege was inspired from them but they have been around far longer in anime.

    I also like how gege „improves“ ( i dont wanna say the others did it bad) on alot of the aspects. Inner demon trope from bleach and naruto and many other stories is imo done perfectly in jjk. Bankais are also cool but they make no f***ing sense. Domains have alot more logistics and work arounds.

    People also wanna bring up the culling games being started by the MCs dad as a reference to greed island. And I can see that but also bear in my that both is alot more inspired by kodoku magic which is a huge trope in Japan.
