I get why some people are bothered by the amount of text in Hunter x Hunter (but I also don't tbh), however I really appreciate it. It's fitting for this arc. Everyone is stressed out, they're considering every single option before acting on anything, analyzing their enemies and their respective powers/standing. They're spiraling. There *is* a lot going on and the characters are attempting to comprehend these things. We've got this constant noise in this arc because of this. And that makes a scene like this one in 403 all the more effective. All of a sudden it's quiet -the noise is cut off - and that feels even worse. You just know something is about to happen. It's so eerie. I love it so so so much!!! I feel like I can hear his footsteps and his breathing just by looking at this.
