Neferpitou: The Symbolic Character of Togashi’s World
Despite the severe health issues, Togashi continues to commit to creating iconic characters. Neferpitou certainly won’t be making a return, but the author has sacrificed her character through this remarkable work of art, leaving a lasting impression on fans.
Neferpitou was introduced in the Chimera Ant arc, where Gon faced off against her in a grand battle that resulted in him losing his Nen abilities.
Togashi has intermittently paused the production of the Hunter x Hunter manga due to health concerns. His most recent return occurred in May 2024, where he prepared five new chapters, leading fans to hope that the author can maintain this pace of work.
Meanwhile, the Hunter x Hunter anime has yet to announce a return date, and the situation continues to evolve with Gon in the manga, who has been absent during the Succession War arc. Fans are still closely following Togashi’s official updates, hoping for new developments.
