Hunter X Hunter’s Dark Continent Arc Needs a New Protagonist

Gon Freecss is the best known protagonist of Hunter X Hunter. However, not every arc of the series has primarily focused on him. The Yorknew City arc positioned Kurapika Kurta as the protagonist, the 13th Hunter Chairman Election arc primarily centered around Killua Zoldyck, and the most recent arcs, the Dark Continent Expedition and Succession Content arcs, have put the spotlight squarely on Kurapika again, this time without Gon and Killua even being present. With the Succession Contest arc pitting Kurapika against Prince Tserriednich for the last of his people’s scarlet eyes, this could be the end of his story.Hunter X Hunter is famous for its subversion of shōnen tropes, and it’s lack of attachment to a singular main character is a great example of that. This is a series where every character has their own story, their own mission, and could potentially be the hero of their own anime. When the Succession Contest arc ends, and the story progresses to the Dark Continent arc, there are several characters who would work better as the protagonist than Kurapika, especially if he collects the final scarlet eyes. Kurapika has been the protagonist of “Hunter X Hunter” for the past two arcs, but the Dark Continent Arc needs a new lead.Currently, Ging is sailing towards the Dark Continent aboard The Black Whale, aiming to stop whatever Pariston is planning once they get there. As Chairman Isaac Netero’s former right hand and a terrifyingly skilled politician in possession of an army of captured Chimera Ants, Pariston is one of the biggest threats on The Black Whale. Putting the focus on Ging and Pariston’s rivalry could be incredible to witness, and the story being centered on the conflict between two middle-aged men would cement Hunter X Hunter’s transformation into a more adult-oriented series. The Dark Continent is home to the most powerful and deadly monsters in the world of Hunter X Hunter, The Five Calamities, and while Kurapika is a skilled hunter, a veteran master like Ging would be better suited for facing these threats.
