Here are my reactions to the interview

Q3

I am not gonna say I understand well enough politics or that I am in anyway a politics savvy. But I can see where he is coming from. I often think it is a natural reaction to be suspicious of those who just place themselves as a chosen leader. Sometimes I have my doubts. But it all comes back to that same thing.

Anyways, what I am wondering here is not what he thinks about politicians or politics, but what does this say about a particular Character he created that doesn't care to win or lose. I am running into a wall trying to understand that one. I would think this character was pretty obvious at first, but he has me second guessing all the time. Ging Freecs also leaves me in the air in this case; even if I am beginning to understand where his character is coming from. His straight foward conversation with Gon.

outside of topic:  Both him and his son are so much alike, I think. Is not just their physical traits.

Q4

...basically what Togashi gave as an answer is too vague. Not to give an spoiler to those who haven't read the manga yet(currently), but we already know now that it might not mean they will all die as Kurapika planned it. It could be they all could die by some outside party. In fact some of them might die of old age or illness. Even those two likely death are not saying anything of the likely event. This is considering how random and unexpected things could go in the serie. A good example is what we learn with Gon's near death and Meruem/Komugi's. There is always the tension that some characters might just die when you are not aware, like off screen or by random -- Alluka's power gave me that thought while I was going over that arc.

I am hopeful for similar things as some fans, wouldn't like to see any of them die. But that's something we wouldn't know until it comes.

I would like to think I could eventually learn to guess what is going to happen next, but I love the unpreditability and thrill of HxH too much to make an effort sometimes. Yes, I still try.

Q6-7

It may sound scary, but it does makes sense.

I would like to say this is unexpected, but I know it is not. It is even funny why I didn't realize it before. But then again, I would like his work ten times better -- if not plenty more, before I would Horror movies. and I am not trying to praise him. It is just the truth. Since I think his works has more substance.

When you are reading or watching HxH, horror is not the genre you would be using to describe it all regardless of how dark it gets.
