どうも、ハンターハンターが連載再開するということで
歓喜している小野田(かろりぃ)です。
普段はジャンプ読まないんですが、
ハンターハンターのために読むことになりそうです。笑
さて、ハンターハンターといえば
あらゆる名シーンがあります。
天空闘技場編から念能力という存在が出てきて、
グリードアイランド編から念能力の
いろんな使い方が出てきてどんどん面白くなっていきました。
グリードアイランド編もめちゃくちゃ面白いんですが、
その次のキメラアント編はそれをさらに越える面白さ。
==================
その中でも、ネットでも話題になり、
僕の中でも印象に残っているのが、
主人公のゴンが突然大人になるシーンです。
(サムネ画像がそのビフォーアフター)
==================
ゴンはまだ子供だったんですが、
一気に大人になります。
どこかの蝶ネクタイの名探偵とは逆で、
身体は大人、頭脳は子供の状態になりました。
しかも、ただ身体が大きくなるだけではなく、
念能力も強化され、一気にエネルギーが上がっています。
急に大人になった原理は置いといて、
まずはここを考えてみましょう。
なぜゴンは大人化したのか?
→ネフェルピトーを殺すため
(敵のキメラアント)
このネフェルピトーは、
ゴンの尊敬するハンターである「カイト」を殺しているのです。
しかも、その後カイトは、
ネフェルピトーの念能力によって操り人形となり、
キメラアント達の戦いの練習台にされていたのです。
それを知ったゴン、ブチ切れ。
さらに、カイトがそうなってしまった理由には、
「ゴン達を守ろうとしたから」というのがあります。
カイト一人ならそうなる前に逃げられたかもしれないけど、
ゴン達が一緒にいたから、守るために戦ったのです。
結果、ネフェルピトーの圧倒的な力に負けてしまった。
ゴンは、そんなネフェルピトーに復讐しようと
キメラアント達の拠点に乗り込むわけですが、
自分より遥か格上のハンターであるカイトも負けた相手です。
当然、今の実力では勝てません。
そしてネフェルピトーを見つけたとき、
ちょっとここは長くなるので割愛しますが、
とあるキッカケでまたゴンはブチ切れます。
激おこです。
そこでゴンは、「クリリンのことかーー!!」
と言わんばかりに怒りと哀しみを爆発させ、
スーパーゴンに変貌するのです。
それが、大人ゴン。
===================
このとき、ゴンがあり得ない早さで急激に成長し、
何十年もの修行に耐えてようやく辿り着くはず姿へと
一気に変貌できたのは、”放棄”したからです。
===================
ゴンは、「もうこれで終わってもいい」
と言ったんです。
「(ネフェルピトーを倒せるなら)
もう念能力を使えなくなってもいい」
「これで死んでもいい」
そうやって、自分を制限していたものを
削ぎ落としたんです。
普通のハンターなら、命に関わるものなので、
ここまで削ぎ落とすことはできません。
でも、ゴンは大切な人を自分のせいで失った哀しみと、
その仇であるネフェルピトーへの怒りによって
それらを削ぎ落としました。
これにより、ゴンのエネルギーが飛躍したのです。
(その結果、急激に大人になった)
このシーン、めちゃくちゃ重要な学びがあります。
==================
人の魅力(エネルギー)は、
余計なものを削ぎ落とすことで飛躍する。
==================
「死にたくない」という思いは、
ある意味、”究極に余計なもの”です。
この思いが無ければ、
できることは一気に増えるはずですからね。
でも、普通はこれを捨てるなんてできません。
「死んでもいい」と
本気で思える人なんていないはず。
だけど、ゴンは本気でそう思った。
本気で「もう終わってもいい」とコミットした。
つまり、究極に余計なものを削ぎ落としたのです。
だからこそ、
あれだけの変貌が可能になったんですね。
じゃあ、他に「余計なもの」には
どんなものがあるのか?
ということなんですが、たとえば身近なものなら、
過去への執着・見栄・プライドなどがあります。
こういう余計なものがあることによって、
僕らに「悩み」が生まれるわけです。
で。
こういう余計なものを削ぎ落とすことによって、
悩みは、悩みではなくなります。
ここ大事ですよ。
今の悩みというのは、
今のステージにおける悩みです。
ステージが変われば、今の悩みは
悩みではなくなります。
ですので、
==================
今の悩みが悩みじゃなくなったとき、
(どうでもいいことだと気付いたとき)
その人の魅力は1つ上のステージに上がる。
==================
僕自身、昔は気にしていたのに、
今は気にならなくなった事が
すぐに思いつく限りでもいくつかあります。
(昔は悩んでたことに悩まなくなった)
その中には、明らかに自分の振る舞いに
影響を与えてると分かるものもあります。
なので、成長を止めるつもりはありませんが、
昔より成長できてることは実感できてます。
ゴンが身をもって教えてくれた重要な学び。
=================
人は、余計なものを削ぎ落としたとき、
魅力(エネルギー)が跳ね上がる。
=================
「弱さを見せれる人は魅力的」
なんてことが言われますが、
これも「弱さを見せたくない」という余計なものを
削ぎ落としているからなのです。
それでは、今回はこれで。
ありがとうございました!
ハンターハンター楽しみ!!

A piece that reads like it was written for me without claiming to be written for me, and a look at clickmoment produced the same fit, when the writer audience match clicks naturally without being engineered through demographic targeting you know the writing is solid and this site has that natural fit consistently for me.
If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at benchmarkbond continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at sunforgeemporium kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at primeunitybond extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at marinerbond continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.
Honestly this kind of writing is why I still bother to read independent sites, and a look at wildauramarket extended that broader reflection, the few sites that justify continued attention to non algorithmic content are sites like this one and finding them periodically is enough to keep my reading habits oriented toward independent rather than aggregated content.
If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at lifespanbond extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at bondallied confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.
During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at focusdrivenclick extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.
Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at crazeborn continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.
Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at safeguardbond kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.
Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at mistyharborgoods confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at unitycapitalhub kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at cloudberrymarket produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at monarchbond maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at lifelinebond only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at capitalnexus confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at amberfieldcollective continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.
Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at brassquartzoutlet produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.
Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at mutualharbor continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.
Glad I gave this fifteen minutes rather than the usual three minute skim, and a look at faithfulbond earned the same investment, time spent on quality content is rarely wasted but the reverse is also true and learning which sites deserve which kind of attention is part of being a careful online reader.
Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at larkspurcollective suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.
A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at clickpathway maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at globalbuyingmarket kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at suncrestforge reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Working through this site has been a small antidote to the shallow content that fills most of my reading time, and a stop at equityanchor extended that antidote function, sites that quietly improve the average quality of my reading by being themselves are sites worth supporting through return visits and recommendations consistently.
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at ironcladbond earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at highcoastmarket kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.
