it starts out like most mangas
.kid decides to leave an island where he's the strongest of a bunch of creatures
.has no social skills
.people want to fight him because of his potential
.gets a powerup every time he's angry or when someone goes against his ideals
.naturally talented
.has people who want to follow him or like him because of his charisma
Watch Hunter x Hunter 2011 episode 116. That episode basically showed Gon's true nature and how selfish he was for his own desires. Because of how much Gon has changed and the actions he committed that is when there was also a change in killua. Killua felt depressed. Like he was no longer needed by Gon, and ect..

The only designs I can think of is meruem and cell. But Togashi developed meruem really well.

Actually, you're right. I don't know why I said "a lot," the only things that remind me of DBZ are Meruem, Killua, and Gon's transformation. But I do know he copied Gotoh from Parasyte to make Youpi. They look wayyy too similar.

That's typical shonen, and like you said: it started off that way. After the first arc Hunter x Hunter really becomes something different from most shonen battle series story wise. And there aren't really power boosts due to anger, they are because of conditions people set for themselves.

but the difference is HxH is 100% it does not copy anything. Togashi is that good. just like how Oda's one piece is original too

You wish. Everything we read is a remix. You really need to read more and learn Togashi's source of inspirations that include horror movies and read more mangas in general. for example- The zodiac theme of the latest arc is done to death-In fact it reminded me of my first manga I ever had read- the Fruit Basket. So is Togashi stealing from Fruit Basket now?

Buu of Dragon Ball Z meets a blind kid who didn't know his appearance and wasn't frightened. Buu healed the boy's eyes. Afterwards the boy was very grateful, and still didn't find anything unusual about Buu's appearance because he had lived among anthromophic animals his entire life. So you get chimera ant king with blind girl. not to forget the chimera ant's design and the powers are similar to the Cell Saga in DBZ. Both could absorb powers and do including of their own men/creatures whatever you call them.

Not to say Togashi isn't original in his own way. The story he tells are his- but the kind of superficial similarities you take to claim theft would land him in soup too.

Same for OP- it's huge mix from so many places- for example the oher day when I was reading Ruroni Kenshin I couldn't avoid comparing the rescue of Megumi with rescue of Robin.


Basically a pointless thread based on a superficial similarity about a fact which is not confirmed yet....

Well Togashi did help Kishi in the early stages of Naruto. He also stated how he was a big fan of him and his work. Search up their interviews.

@ the bold: It's among one of the most baseless claims ever made by H x H fans, since it suggests it was more than it really was. If you are making such a claim find a legit source first.

For one Hunter x Hunter was before fruit basket
2 what does a blind girl have to do with anything?? meruem and Komugi relationship was so dynamic, complex, romantic and deep having nothing similar to DBZ at all. stop chatting rubbish Togashi was first in everything.

the only thing you said that was true was Meruem and Cell because Togashi himself said his design was inspired by Cell. Hunter x Hunter is original, i actually know Togashi's work so shut up.

WOW this was stated years ago and it is obvious in Naruto itself. Togashi is 100% original and everyone copies his works. Tite Kubo's Bleach ripped off Yu Yu Hakusho and was even rejected by Jump until Toriyama approved of it and convinced them to give him a chance. Naruto ripps of Hunter x Hunter and even Kishimoto stated he was heavily inspired by Hunter x Hunter. most manga copies this man even Toriko with the gourmet hunters..the list goe on

Fruit basket has been started in July 1998 and ended in 2006. Way before Zodiacs entered the story of hunter x Hunter.

The truth is even Itachi's secret were out before Kurapika finished his tale in a single chapter sometime in 2011.

H x H is published damn slow with all those breaks to go by it's starting date.

Shut up? lol How old are you? It's a public forum. Leave if you cannot handle the facts.

Do you even know Hunter x Hunter???
Gon has no social skills?? LMAAO what??
People want to fight him because of his potential?? what people?? Hisoka is one person
every time he's angry?? Gon never got a powerup out of anger he used his covenant and restriction and he did so only once. he trained for his power.

you know nothing about this series shut up

Hunter x Hunter started March 1998. the Zodiacs where hinted since the Hunter exams.
Kurapika's scarlet eyes inspired the Sharingan, his clan inspired the Uchiha clan and was even ripped off witht the entire avenger thing with Sasuke, Naruto and Bleach ripped off the Phantom Troupe with their akatsuki and Espada. Kurapika and Itachi had no similar bg anyway. look Mod idc who you are but if you know nothing about a series don't say robish

That series has it's own section. You should move there instead of telling others to shut up because they do not see the things the same way you do.

Though I will give you that gon does have social skills. It's his father who doesn't. But then again Edward lost his hand before Gon and lost his powers to get what he wanted in exchange before Gon too.

Point is that you guys use same superficial similarities to scream theft on one manga's part while ignoring it for the other.

Edward lost his arm from the start of the series and lost his powers at the end? how was that similar to Gon? Gon lost his arm by accident and he was originally supposed to die until Killua and Alluka saved him. In the end Gon never got what he wanted..he wanted Kite to be healed and found out he was dead..he killed Pitou and was still so sad and empty..all he felt was nothingness. Edward was happy at the end of FMA.. nothing similar to Gon

You say characters resembling Zodiac names were hinted in Hunter exams before July 1998 when Fruit basket was released? Chapter link please? I cannot find it.

Red eyed clan and revenge theme is what I call superficial similarity. It's not the first time red eyes are used in literature or in manga nor I care about it nor Naruto was the last one.

Phantom troupe's actual ambition or definite goals and direction are yet to be defined. It never went much beyond original fleshed out abilities of characters. Akatsuki was doing things with a purpose. So the similarity ends with both being organizations of morally questionable/evil people. Sasuke was not after whole akatsuki.

The most striking similarity is in general lay out of chunin exams. But by the ending both mangas go in different direction with that too and Naruto chunin exams was more exciting the way it ended than the hunter exam arc, in my view.

And funny that you failo to notice how much Togashi copied fom Cell saga of DBZ. Or How killua's sister turned out to be "togashi's version of wish fullfiling Drangon balls.

I like H x H but I am not blind to it's limitations unlike you. People who make claims like every trope, idea is 100 % original in Hunter x Hunter and was never used in a manga before lose the ground to call any post rubbish.

Search their interviews

I did and that's why I know that your claim was exaggerated to the extent to give a false conclusion. Kishi called him sensei out of politeness( Japanese style) in the interview. Doesn't mean the was his student for real. They barely mentioned meeting twice previously and some professional chitchat. ^_^

You can't blame him, since it's such a badass series.
