The reading for 婚前契約 (prenup) is "engagement ring".

Hisoka in chapter 405 has some very... unique uses of it.

普通 means normal, but the reading is not "futsuu" which is the phonetic reading, it's the English "normal". Boku wa normal ◆. It has extra flavor to it.

Then there's 異種間戦闘 (interspecies battle) read as "beαstiαlity", 集団戦闘 (group battle) read as "orgίes".

壊し合いたい (destroy each other), with 壊 (destroy) being read as 愛 (love), making it a double meaning of "love each other".

And then 一人喜悦リ (self joy) is read as "mαsturbαtion".

This is also relevant in the most recent chapter, 412.

In chapter 368, there was the kanji 息子 (son) that Oito used with the reading being "Woble", despite Woble having previously been established as her daughter. Looks like that was important!

The Princes are always denoted by kanji for their ranking while the reading is their name.

Right now the campaign for HxH surpassing 100 million copies in sales is using one of Netero's famous lines with a tweak.

読者 means "reader", but the reading is お前 (you). "I'm grateful for everything that has led me to meet you (my readers)."

Anyway apparently Mr. Eclipse made 5000 years' worth of solar eclipse graphics, which you can find the simpler versions of here

He was given the most explosive emotions of the royal guards while simultaneously having the least variety of emotion. It's an extremely powerful subversion of expectation to have the character who seems to be the one most in touch with human emotion to actually be the one capable of the least. Pouf is emotional, but his range of emotion is very slim.

This runs in direct contrast to Youpi, who as a character was designed in a way meant to fool the audience into thinking he would be the least human. Youpi was created from magical beasts, he should be the most monstrous, as he is lacking the aspects that give the other ants their humanity (this is not true, I'm just saying what the audience is being led to believe). Youpi is also given a menacing appearance with a broad figure and little clothing, which immediately makes the viewer think that he is a brawler and not a strategist. On the other hand, Pouf is given a slim figure and nice clothes to give the idea that he is more of a thinker and not much for brutish displays. Additionally, Pouf is made to play the violin, making his character seem interested in the arts (which is a trait associated with individuals with greater connection to emotion).

i find pariston's personnality to be depicted in a much more negatively emphasized way in the anime. the manga made it more subtle, which made him more of a mysterious character, that we want to understand and get to know. the anime however leaned into this "darker" side much more in a way that now feels almost forced to me in some scenes ;

the two scenes above are prime examples of this. the first one shows a enormous difference : the anime attempted to make him seem overly scary in a scene where the author still conveyed the character's personnality through their words but didn't think it was necessary through facial expressions. the anime makes it seems like it's a complete "fake personnality" pariston puts on in public, while the manga makes it slightly more complex. it's like the anime wanted to over-exagerate.

the second scene i also have a problem with, because it kind of erases the true emotion pariston felt in that moment by making him look heartless and dark. the context of this scene is pariston's sadness over netero's death, because he wanted to "play with him more". while i do believe that this motive for grief is NOT normal and shows some big mental difference from pariston who is more focused on having fun and challenges, the manga depicts a very honest reaction from him, which he hadn't showed before. it's like the anime gave him a stereotype of "putting on a happy face mask to hide that i don't have emotions and am deeply psychollogicaly disturbed" while the manga makes it more nuance by giving him a bit more emotion??
