Did you like how the last arc of YYH ended? Is there anything you wish was done differently?

Oh Togashi, you poor soul.

I didn’t mind how the series ended in both the anime and manga, but I know it could have been better. I wish that they trusted Togashi’s judgement more with his story.

The idea of a full scale war would have been an awesome idea. It would have been cool to see the unification of human and demon world happen underneath such conditions. The kings were made to be war leaders with their cut throat mentalities, top power, and to see their different tactics based upon their personalities would have been amazing.

The tournament was a lazy man way out but I don’t really blame him for why it went that route, especially with how highly regarded his Dark Tournament arc went, you’d think he’d be able to make that one just as good, but nope. The tournament flopped because it wasn’t a good idea with the direction of the story.

The quality of the story went downhill and it felt that everything was pulled out of the ass and rushed to be finished.

This is where I think he deserved a hiatus. It would’ve been a lot better for the character growth of the 3 king’s and their personality would have been more naturally integrated. Sure the way Yusuke went about it wasn’t too bad, but obviously Togashi’s heart wasn’t in it because he wanted to either create a different kind of story or cut the series off after Chapter Black. 

I love the characters in the three kings. and I think if Togashi was still forced to extend the series, I wish he had more say and was given the breaks for his mental and physical health because he could have done something great with these characters. His heart and soul wasn’t in it anymore, and I personally believe YYH was a lesson for him as a manga artist. Which is why HxH has the hiatuses it does, but in doing so, the quality for the overall series is consistent.
