Hunter x Hunter’s modern influences revealed in new chapter

Hunter x Hunter is a beloved Shonen manga that has been influential in the genre for decades. However, the latest chapter of the long-running manga reveals that newer series, such as Jujutsu Kaisen, have also had an impact on Hunter x Hunter. This exchange of influence is both exciting and ironic, given that Hunter x Hunter has had such a significant impact on newer creators, including Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen.

In Chapter 399 of Hunter x Hunter, Hinrigh and Nobunaga encounter Heil-Ly henchmen in their secret hideout. One of these henchmen is Yokotani, a lawyer for Heil-Ly. Yokotani’s Nen ability is based on whether their enemies have broken any laws. If they have, then Yokotani’s ability can create invincible guards that can escort them from the premises. This ability is extremely similar to Hiromi’s domain expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen, where if Hiromi is able to convince an impartial judge of his enemy’s guilt, their powers will be stripped from them, leaving them at his mercy. Both abilities are complex, nearly impossible to stop if their victims are guilty, and are based on the legal system.

The similarities in the power systems of both series have allowed for innovative and interesting powers to be developed. Both Hunter x Hunter and Jujutsu Kaisen feature a simple base energy system (Nen and Cursed Energy, respectively) that can be applied in unique ways to create intriguing powers. This similarity in power systems is one way in which Hunter x Hunter has influenced Jujutsu Kaisen, as its power system was developed years before Jujutsu Kaisen’s serialization began.

However, Jujutsu Kaisen has become an influential series of its own during Hunter x Hunter’s absence. It is not impossible that Togashi, the creator of Hunter x Hunter, has read Jujutsu Kaisen and has drawn inspiration from it. One of Togashi’s assistants has stated that many of the latest Hunter x Hunter chapters were first written years ago. However, it is possible that Togashi added or tweaked new characters or abilities before they made it to the pages of Shonen Jump. Given the similarities between Yokotani and Hiromi’s abilities, it is very likely that Togashi drew inspiration from Jujutsu Kaisen.

The exchange of influence between these two series is positive and demonstrates that Togashi is constantly trying to improve and evolve his work. Very few manga last long enough to be influenced by new generations of artists, so this is an exciting development for fans of both series. This exchange of influence also offers readers a glimpse into how older series, like Hunter x Hunter, can be updated with modern similarities. Overall, Jujutsu Kaisen’s influence on Hunter x Hunter is a positive sign that shows Togashi’s commitment to evolving and improving his work in exciting and innovative ways.
