On a Japanese Viper thread, fans are throwing their best funny whines. And everything escalates quickly, from jokes with manga references to the editing team. A kind individual from Reddit translated some of the best comments on the Viper thread and shared it with other fans.
One of the best reactions when someone referenced Killua's dialogue on Green Island while using the yo-yo. There's even a comment that referenced Killua's famous "Gon, you are light" It looks like fans memorized every scene, even minute ones, by rewatching what is available materials right now.
It is said that the comeback of the manga will be announced on Naoko Takeuchi's birthday this March 15. Naoko Takeuchi is Togashi's wife. Ever since Togashi had an illness on his back, rumors have started that Takeuchi will be replacing Togashi in the HxH project. This is to avoid further hiatuses and to have publication continuity. The fate of the manga might be revealed too on her birthday. Maybe it is the Sailormoon Mangaka who will be taking over "Hunter X Hunter" after all.
