One of the best manga series ever to come out of Weekly Shonen Jump, Hunter x Hunter is renowned for its complex creation of worlds and narrative storytelling, but Yoshihiro Togashi, the manga’s creator, has suffered from periods of inactivity because of health problems. For the past few years, Togashi’s health has been a recurrent news story.
Additionally, because of his ailing health, the Hunter X Hunter manga has seen multiple hiatuses and comebacks. The plot of Hunter x Hunter centers on Gon, who embarks on a quest to both locate his father and become a hunter. Fans worry that Togashi might never be able to finish the series because of the numerous pauses this epic series experienced due to his health problems. And this problem has also worried Togashi himself.
Therefore to deal with this problem, he has revealed four endings that are already planned for the series. Out of the four, he has properly explained only 1 of the endings, but his personal favorite would trigger a lot of Hunter x Hunter fans.
Yoshihiro Togashi Has Four Endings Planned for Hunter x Hunter
On November 21, Togashi, the creator of the renowned manga series Hunter x Hunter, surprised fans with a new development. The manga creator disclosed the potential endings of Hunter x Hunter in a special announcement that he made on TV Asahi’s Iwakura and Yoshizumi program.

As per Oricon news, Togashi disclosed that he had three different endings for the manga, each receiving varying degrees of approval. He opted to disclose the fourth ending, which was scrapped. The manga creator made it clear that this was a backup plan if he died before completing the manga.
According to Togashi, ending A might receive the greatest response from readers, potentially receiving an 80% positive response. Conversely, readers’ opinions of Ending B would be split equally. But readers would find ending C to be the most contentious, perhaps leading to a very unfavorable response. Togashi is more in favor of ending C, despite the anticipated result.
Yoshihiro Togashi’s Favorite Hunter x Hunter Ending Would Enrage Fans
Togashi said that he prefers the third ending, or Ending C, which is his favorite. He did, however, also say that nearly 90% of the fans would not be satisfied with this conclusion. And that it won’t satisfy more than 10% of his readers. Based on what he said, perhaps a dismal conclusion lies ahead.
Nevertheless, rather than thinking about any of these three possibilities, He hopes to discover an ending that he genuinely loves and that fans will be content with. Hunter x Hunter fans are likely relieved to learn that the series has several endgames set up if Togashi passes away, but they are undoubtedly saddened by Togashi’s admission that his ailing health may prevent him from completing the series before his passing.
Fans have mixed emotions regarding the news about Togashi and the ending of the series and every Hunter x Hunter fan hopes for Togashi’s speedy recovery so he could complete the story on his terms rather than some preplanned endings.
