“Hunter X Hunter“is one of the franquicias of anime and manga more exitosas e influentialtes de toda la historia de ambos sectorses, así que el hecho de que su alcance sea de rango mundial es algo que no sorprende. Lo que sí que personalmente me ha sorprendido bastante es to see that a street gang from Ukraine, made up mostly of teenagers, CLEARLY took inspiration from The Phantom Troupe’s motives to wreak havoc.
It’s been all the chaos that the band with motives of The Phantom Troupe has forced in Ukraine
Then I leave you with all the details that the team has collected AnimeHunch about this particular incident:
- In general, the existence of a group named Already PMCwhich derives from the Japanese name of Phantom Troupe (Genei Ryodan) and that he provoked street fights that ended with up to 257 being detained by Ukrainian police.
- In case everything seems like a coincidence, you will see an image of these members below to verify that They even dress as members of the Phantom Troupe.:
- It should also be noted that the performance of the Redan PMC group They have been burning forums and social networks in Ukraine for weeks and…yes, also Russia, where many believe the group was created in an original way. There are even rumors that Putin himself was concerned about the instability a group like this could bring to the streets.
In fact, it seems to me that there are enough more political agenda in all of this than not coincidentally funny about “hunter x hunter”. Even so, it is true that I am quite curious as to how the idea of using the Phantom Troupe came about precisely to organize street fights as silly as the ones that took place. Unfortunately, With how quickly things become stigmatized, I wouldn’t be surprised if a very negative view of anime started in the affected countries..
