Hunter x Hunter fans hold the “Chimera Ant Arc” in high regard, and with good reason. This pivotal arc sees Gon and Killua teaming up with fellow hunters to combat the formidable Chimera Ants, resulting in a conflict that shapes the destiny of the anime world.
Creator Yoshihiro Togashi, known for his intermittent work on the shonen manga due to health issues, continues to engage fans with new artwork featuring beloved characters.
During the Chimera Ant Arc, Gon faced off against the powerful Neferpitou, one of the King’s most formidable underlings.

In a dramatic showdown, Gon taps into all his present and future Nen abilities to defeat the feline-like warrior. However, the immense strain of this transformation leaves Gon powerless, a lingering consequence yet to be addressed in the manga.
While Neferpitou’s return from the dead seems unlikely, Togashi’s recent artwork serves as a reminder of the character’s impact on the series.

With Gon absent from the main manga for years, fans eagerly anticipate his potential return in the ongoing “Succession Contest Arc”, regardless of whether he regains his powers.
Despite the manga’s continuation, there’s been no news regarding a revival of the anime adaptation. The last adaptation, produced by Studio Madhouse, left viewers eager for more.
However, should the anime return, there are still significant events from the manga awaiting adaptation, keeping fans hopeful for the future of Hunter x Hunter on the small screen.
