Hunter x Hunter on the Big Screen: Let's Count!
Alright, Hunter fans, let's get down to brass tacks! You love Hunter x Hunter, I love Hunter x Hunter, we ALL love Hunter x Hunter! But sometimes it can be a bit confusing to remember every episode, arc, and especially… the movies!
So, the burning question: how many Hunter x Hunter movies are out there? It's not a trick question, but you might be surprised if you haven't kept up with the Nen-powered adventures on the silver screen.
The Answer You've Been Waiting For...
Drumroll, please! The answer is… TWO! Yes, just two Hunter x Hunter movies have been officially released.
I know, I know, it feels like there should be more, right? Think of all the amazing arcs that would make fantastic movies! Like imagine a Yorknew City arc movie with a huge budget. We can dream!
Meet the Movies: A Quick Overview
Let's quickly introduce our two contenders. Prepare for some serious Nen-fueled action!
First up, we have Hunter x Hunter: Phantom Rouge. This movie came out in 2013 and features a brand new villain connected to Kurapika's tragic past. Expect epic battles and lots of revenge!
Then there's Hunter x Hunter: The Last Mission, also released in 2013. This one dives into the darker side of the Hunter Association and introduces some… morally ambiguous characters. Get ready for some tough choices!
So, Why Only Two?
Good question! Honestly, it's one of the great mysteries of the anime world, like why Gon's hair spikes up so much or why Hisoka is obsessed with Gon. We can only speculate.
Maybe Togashi-sensei, the creator of Hunter x Hunter, is just too busy writing (or playing Dragon Quest!). Or maybe making movies is just a Nen ability he hasn't unlocked yet.
Could There Be More? Hope Springs Eternal!
Don't lose hope, fellow Hunters! The Hunter x Hunter universe is vast and full of potential.
Think about it: a Chimera Ant arc movie with stunning visuals? A Dark Continent arc movie that blows our minds? The possibilities are endless!
Maybe, just maybe, someday we'll get more Hunter x Hunter movies to feast our eyes on. Until then, we can always rewatch the two we have and dream of what could be. Keep your Nen strong!
“The real treasure is the friends we made along the way… and the hope for more Hunter x Hunter movies!”
In the Meantime...
While we wait for new movie announcements, there's plenty to keep us busy. Rewatch the series! Read the manga! Debate who is stronger, Gon or Killua! (Spoiler alert: it's always a close call).
The world of Hunter x Hunter is always waiting to be explored. So go forth, young Hunters, and continue your adventure!
And remember, there are only two movies. But hey, quality over quantity, right? Plus, it leaves room for the imagination to run wild!
Happy watching (and hoping)!
