CATDOLL: Netizens complained: Togashi's comic lines are weak compared to "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"

Not long ago, Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter officially resumed serialization. There are many topics about this work, but many topics always feel a bit off topic in the end... Recently, netizens have started to mention that the famous lines in Hunter are not as good as those in JOJO's Bizarre Adventure. The JOJO faction believes that the lines in Hunter are not cool at all, and with the non-murderous style of painting, they can only be used as emoticons, while the famous lines in JOJO are much cooler. Let's take a look at their discussion.

Killua from Hunter: "I've gotten used to walking without making any sound."

Killua from Hunter: "Dating? I don't have time for that. My life revolves around assassination training."

Kurapika from Hunter: "Death is not terrible. The most terrible thing is that hatred disappears with time."

Killua’s lines are indeed not cool, but Kurapika’s are okay.

The lines in "Hunter" express the meaning directly, but the lines in "JOJO" always have a cool artistic conception.

Top 8: The following, \(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Togashi had no intention of writing any famous quotes since the days of "Yu Yu Hakusho". Togashi's characters are mostly described psychologically, and his words are relatively concise.

Top 23: The following, \(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

At least Togashi could write a sentence like "things that go off track", and after he used it, it became a popular phrase.

"E-level" Captain of the Prince's Guard: If it's about that guy, you must always be prepared for the worst. That guy will definitely do something off track.

Josuke Higashikata from "JOJO": "I see... It's a perfect plan. Apart from the fact that it's impossible to come true..." When I saw this sentence for the first time, I couldn't help but sigh. It's so cool.

When talking about Togashi's works, "Yu Yu Hakusho" should be the one that comes to mind rather than "Hunter".

Top 20: The following,\(^o^)/でVIPがおwill be given away:

And, although this is a bit mundane, the line "I refuse" said by Rohan Kishibe in JOJO is great again. Such a short sentence reflects Rohan's character.

Top 25: The following, \(^o^)/でVIPがおwill be given away:

The President of JOJO: "My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just."

Jonathan Joestar from JOJO: "I'm going to beat you until you cry!"

"JOJO" Baron Zeppelin: "How many people's blood did you suck to heal your wounds?" Dio: "Do you remember how many pieces of bread you have eaten so far?"

"JOJO" Gero Zeppelin: "I... have always been trying to find shortcuts on the SBR track... but it turns out that taking the long way is my shortcut!"

"JoJo" Kira Yoshikage: "I don't want intense happiness... instead of deep despair... pursuing a plant-like life, living a peaceful life, this is my goal..."

Jotaro Kujo from JOJO: "I will definitely return the scars left by your beatings to you. I even wrote them down in a notebook in case you forgot."

"JOJO" Joseph Joestar: "OH! NO——! The two words I hate the most are 'effort' and 'come on'!"

The lines in JOJO always hit people's hearts. They are all lines of Chuunibyou. The lines in Hunter are more ordinary. It may be related to the life experiences of Araki and Togashi. It seems that Araki has richer life experiences.

Even if you like "JOJO", you don't have to criticize "Hunter" so much...sometimes there is no comparison.

Top 29: The following, \(^o^)/でVIPがお送りします:

Polnareff from JOJO: "Compared to wealth and fame, love is more important!"

Polnareff from JOJO: "Don't throw things you don't like to others! Why is your personality so twisted!"

Whenever Hunter has to say some cool lines, it feels tacky. The lines in JOJO feel more natural. Araki really likes Rohan's lines, so he just let him say "That's why I like him", and I actually like this feeling.

Togashi's lines seem to be written by a middle school student. Araki's lines seem to be written by a working person. If Togashi is a strange person, Araki is a magical person.

The only famous lines from "JOJO" I remember are "Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora". I got excited as soon as I heard Ora. I feel so embarrassed.

The two works have different focuses. Hunter often describes the situation psychologically or explains the situation through narration. The characters usually don't say anything. They say what they think, so it's hard to have famous lines. JOJO often faces the opponent and speaks harsh words, so it's easier to have cool and famous lines.

There aren't any famous lines in "Hunter". Although "JOJO" is different from mainstream boys' comics, the lines are really unique.

Actually, I prefer Hunter in terms of comic content, but the lines in JOJO may be more special. Togashi's works are also excellent in many aspects. I have forgotten the lines in Hunter, but there are a few lines in Yu Yu Hakusho that I remember very clearly.

Huanhai: "You will grow old, but I will grow old too. Isn't that good too?"

Kurama: "How ironic, the blood of a bad guy can grow into beautiful flowers."

Togashi can also write decent lines.

Hunter = more "scenes"

JOJO=More famous words

Is this how it feels?

These two works really have their own strengths. Each work has its own famous scenes and famous lines, and fans have their own favorites. I always feel that such a comparison is not very objective. Of course, it is undeniable that many lines in the work "JOJO" are used for memes, which also shows the popularity of the lines in this work from one side. In fact, I always feel that there is still a gap in the understanding of "famous lines" between Chinese and Japanese netizens. Some of the famous lines recommended by netizens over there don’t seem to be so exciting. What do you think?
