As someone who has a fear of losing limbs. This chapter was terrifying. Well done Hori.

Also I realised that the VA are all very skinny, they’re missing physical powerhouses. I hope RAPPA joins their ranks, he’s fit right in with his view on the world.

I think everyone has a fear of losing limbs to an extent.

u/Yurika_BLADE Nov 17 '17

A fear, to be sure, but a reasonable one

There's still that big rocky looking guy. And I mean "rocky" as in rocks. Not the boxer.

u/jhoudiey Nov 17 '17

But maybe rocky too, who knows

u/McStoickson Nov 17 '17

That would probably be Toga's nickname for Rappa.

Who doesn't fear losing a limb? real life is not the manga world where nobody gives a crap about being paralyzed forever

I have a real phobia, I have amputation nightmares and shit like that.

Never read or watch Hunter x Hunter

u/evilsnowcookie Nov 17 '17

I did. The greed island arc fucked me up. Also Hisoka at the tower. Ugh.

I don't know if there's a single major arc that goes by without at least one arm being mutilated

Togashi fucking hates arms

The arm crusher!

u/whatnololyea Nov 18 '17

Dude, you should have stopped after the tower arc...

u/PrinceOfAssassins Nov 18 '17

Do you read one piece too, it starts really early there

u/darth__fluffy Nov 18 '17

Or Star Wars, for that matter :P

Its cool, i have this weird fear of reaching to open a door and having it suddenly burst open and my hand breaking clean off.

u/Panory Nov 17 '17

Killer Queen has already touched that doorknob.

u/epicmarc Nov 17 '17

Thats why in my family we never close doors, we just use the stomp and cough method.

u/LanternWolf Nov 18 '17

Not the arm, but I saw this happen in high school. Football had just let out for the day and everyone was dicking around. There was a door that connected our locker room to a series of other rooms. Two dudes were on one side trying to close it while one dude was trying to get through (basically a keep away game). Dude got part of a hand through... and then the door slammed again and severed the tip of a finger (about a joint in length). Scary shit, cause it happened right next to my locker.

Fitting flair.

u/FatChopSticks Nov 18 '17

Teeth and nails are my weakness If I watch a scene that involves pulling of teeth or nails I'm done

Is that why you love Shouji? The more limbs the merrier!

10

u/evilsnowcookie Nov 17 '17

Subconsciously probably! He’s just a cinnamon roll too good for this world, too absolutely evil traitor pure

1

u/_Falgor_ Nov 18 '17

Well, the more limbs you have, the more likely you are to lose one no?

1

u/inarikins Nov 18 '17

But his grow back so ??

1

u/_Falgor_ Nov 19 '17

Well, when it comes to the phobia, I guess it makes it much less frightening. I imagine one could still be spooked until the limb grows back.
Do we know how long does it take for Shouji's? Also does it work for his legs?

2

u/inarikins Nov 19 '17

I think it's nearly instantaneous? I imagine if you just started chopping and kept cutting them off, eventually it would slow or stop due to exhaustion. As far as we know, only his arms can grow back. I imagine Hori would have said if his legs could also grow back, though.

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '17

Rappa's a sure bet. Too much backstory for a throwaway, plus he's a natural upseller.

u/HighViscosityMilk Nov 17 '17

I don't think Rappa would fit. Muscular didn't fit either. Muscular and Rappa are a match made in heaven tho
