I feel the same way you do. I also love that Togashi will completely stomp on the things we expect from Shonen manga. For example, he doesn't care that he made Gon powerful enough (when he goes through the forced aging) to fight Meruem. The main character doesn't need to fight the villian of the arc. He then takes it one step further by them having to use a nuclear bomb, and even then Meruem only dies from the radiation poisoning. Togashi has guts to do things differently and the story is better for it.
