HxH has mad tension
I never have to worry about Gon, Killua, Kurapika, or Leorio dying
Even the relevant (allied) reoccurring characters are mostly protected. Kite got brought back to life at the end of CA for example
Gon sacrificed his ability to use nen along with basically his life and was brought back in the next arc cause Killua has a magic sister. What am I supposed to feel tense about?
Netero’s death was also expected cause the old strong characters always have a fairly high chance of death
I guess villainous characters are different since their lives actually hang by a thread but that’s the case in most shonen
