We’d all appreciate it if you could fuck this up and post everything out of order.
One Piece is raping this manga so hard right now
>>289251971Does Hisoka even need a Prince benefactor? He is a minor celebrity, being a Heaven's Arena Floor Master, and also probably loaded, due to being both a Hunter and a Floor Master. He might have just got a ticket the normal way.He also could have a Queen as a benefactor instead of a Prince, or maybe the King himself is a fan.
>>289251858>>2892518643 - His "fire of life" is not lit,4 - unlike those of the eighth, tenth and twelfth princes...5 - He is still elligible...6 - If your soul7 - resides in a body,8 - you do not lose the right of inheritance.9 - He10 - is still fighting...!11 - No way! Is this...?!12 - Halkenburg's ability?! No! That's impossible!13 - What died... is only his body...?! In other words, his soul is still...!14 - As things are, it is 100% impossible for me to impersonate the sergeant and infect Halkenburg! If I were to approach him directly...15 - ... I'd be found out in his private quarters! My demeanor, behavior and the way I talk would expose me.16 - In which case, I must test a new hypothesis! I will investigate the principles that govern my ability!17 - An arrow has already been shot at my brother...!
>>289252154>My demeanor, behavior and the way I talk would expose meCurious how he doesn't mention the lack of knowledge would expose him. So can he inherit the memories of the host or no?
>My name is Netero D Luffy and I will become the king of Cakinn
>>28925215418 - Send the soldiers to the next room! Balsamilco should be there!19 - They're close by! Halkenburg's followers! Apprehend them all! They're the primary persons of interest!20 - An ability that allows him to switch personalities! Shikaku's suicide makes perfect sense in that case...! Vict's behaviour as well...!21 - Wait! Balsamilco is more important! In his body... is Halkenburg! And did he use his ability on someone just now?!22 - Yes, sir!23 - We have to figure out how his personality swap works...! Next time, we might not even know who's swapping with whom!24 - Prince...?25 - Hack...26 - Koff, koff...27 - Severe nausea... fever...28 - Body fatigue and joint paint...29 - This is...30 - Don't tell me...?31 - It can't be...!32 - I'm infected...!Boy, Benjamin is tense as fuck, he's not even finishing some of his sentences.
Tse can't be a beyond child because he's got Salkov assigned to him
>>28925252833 - The incubation period for TSK-17 is roughly six hours!34 - At that time, Balsamilco was still at the Ministry of Justice! It would be impossible for him! This wasn't Halkenburg!35 - TSK-17 is stored in a canister that can only be opened using the custom boots worn by the facility guards!36 - When sprayed, the maximum range for guaranteed infection is 2 meters...37 - Taking into account the dispersal from ground level and my own height...38 - ... if someone wanted a 100% chance to infect me...39 - That time40 - I was sitting...41 - It was then...!
>>28925280842 - They're all accounted for!43 - Balsamilco... he only brought one canister with him!44 - So if they didn't use TSK-17, why do I have these symptoms...?! Is it just some ordinary illness? Is all of this a coincidence?! No! Think!45 - If a member of the private army other than me and Balsamilco brought TSK-17 onto the ship... how did they do it?!
>>289252593>Tse can't be a beyond child because he's got Salkov assigned to himWhere the logic here? Salkov is neither Beyond's child nor is assigned by Beyond
>>289253190>Salkov is neither Beyond's childHe said he could use zetsu since birth while tutoring Tserriednich, and Longhi said Beyond's children were awakened to nen when they were born.You have to be low IQ if you can't put two and two together.
>>289253301>SalkovFuck, I was thinking about the corporal who was reassigned to tier 1. Salkov is Beyond's child, but him being close to Tserriednich has nothing do with that fact. Beyond's curse isn't distance based and he has no control over which prince his children end up serving. So the point still stands
>>289253128Accidentally skipped 44, but I'll carry on with the current numbering.47 - Someone from the weapons development division48 - sold it to the private army on the black market!49 - Production report, inventory control record, personal effects inspection, data processing... even supposing that the security measures were functioning properly...50 - ... if an absolute order was issued from the top...!51 - My mother! The first queen's soldiers brought TSK-17...52 - ... and handed it over to my private army!53 - Mother... she chose my brother54 - over even me!
>>28925352755 - Working backward from the evidence, you're the only person who could have infected me.56 - Furykov...!57 - So you obtained TSK-17 through the first queen and defected to my brother's side...58 - What was your motive?! Money?! Status?! [Tell me, before you die—what was it that corrupted you?!]I can't interpret the kanji because of the low resolution, so everything between [ and ] is MTL. I recognize "saigou" and "kikasero", which fits "tell me, before you die", so it appears that the MTL got it right in this case.59 - Defected?! Such an act is inconceivable to me! I have and will continue to devote myself to the country and the first prince!60 - Howewer,61 - it is undoubtedbly me who dispersed TSK-17 and caused your highness to be infected! I shall explain the circumstances that led to this.62 - You've certainly waited for a moment when others would not be suspected...! Still, that could be part of your scheme as well.63 - If my suspicion of you increases even slightly, I will kill you before you've finished your explanation...!64 - My aim was to turn the machinations of Queen Unma, your biological mother who is plotting for Prince Halkenburg's victory, against her.65 - At the same time, I want to exploit the agenda of my own father, Beyond Netero.
>>28925431166 - This is the curse that triggers after my death...! It was implanted by Beyond and it's difficult to remove.67 - The queen threatened that I would die from Beyond activating it, so I had no choice.68 - What scared me the most wasn't that my target was a prince.69 - It was only this: that the abilities of a prince's guardian spirit beast might be erased.70 - The only certain way to avoid this was a curse-return...!71 - If the target dies first, the curse returns to the curse-bearer72 - and I will become a god through the ability of my guardian spirit beast...!73 - It is as you say! If that is your guardian spirit beast's ability...!74 - An unbroken imperial line! Without a doubt, it will build a glorious, vast and unshakable nation!75 - The first queen's demand was "use TSK-17 on the first prince within 48 hours, or Beyond will activate the curse", but that was convenient for me.76 - I was able to trick the queen into thinking that I succumbed to her threats while simultaneously protecting your highness' guardian spirit beast... but above all, and I know this is truly presumptuous...77 - ... it allowed me to fulfil my dream of paving the way for my prince, who will depart his body, transforming into a guardian deity of the nation's prosperity.
>>289255088so is queen Unma working with Beyond?
>>28925508878 - I no longer have any attachments to this world!**The word can also mean "regret", so he maybe said "I no longer have any regrets!"79 - I wish to give my life for the curse-return!80 - I am a foolish man who cannot trust even his own subordinate,81 - but I will have you accompany me just a little longer...!82 - Furyukov's ability: "Fullmetal Alchemist" - Combo Master (Specialization) By being next to a target for a certain amount of time (cumulative effect), it can decipher the particulars of the target's ability and craft a weapon that destroys or reinforces the target's ability.83 - He cannot use hatsu when deciphering an ability, nor when crafting a weapon. The stronger the power/efficacy/effect, the longer it takes to decipher the ability. The time it takes to craft a weapon is equal to the the time it takes to decipher the ability, but the timer is reset if the crafting process is interrupted.84 - Gladly,85 - my prince!86 - Tserriednich and Halkenburg are conspiring together!87 - As a result, a scientific* weapon has been stolen and used...!*There is definitely a typo in the original that says chemistry (kagaku - 化学) instead of science (kagaku - 科学).
>>289255162Not necessarily.>>28925561388 - Inform all of the private guards!89 - I will be declaring special martial law today at 14:15!90 - Begin preparatory actions from 14:00! The only targets marked for immediate termination are non-royal military private guards. Kill them quietly and respectfully!91 - Do not harm the members of the Hunter Association! After the declaration, adhere to the regulations regarding the "protection" of the princes and gather them in the great hall of room 1001!92 - The ability of my guardian spirit beast that Furyukov deciphered! If I fuse it with my "Benjamin Baton"...!93 - I will become the spiritual foundation of the great tree of kakin that supplants the seed urn ritual! The guardiation deity of the ruler!94 - Truly, this is the highest authority, one that surpasses even that of a king!95 - The succession war... was not a survival match to choose a king!96 - The eventual unification of the world under Kakin...! Afterwards the throne that the Ui Guo Rou dynasty will occupy continuously and for all eternity...! It was a long-lasting holy war to appoint a chosen god! A glorious guardian deity that watches over it all!*This is a really messy sentence.
>>28925630497 - Leave Camilla and Tserriednich98 - to me!99 - I cannot let mother's party figure out the power of my guardian spirit beast...! Therefore, what I have to do with the little time I have left...100 - ... is to eliminate the other princes within the available time frame! I will aim to officially become the next successor!101 - Afterwards,102 - as the next king, I will issue my testament!103 - "Secret Window"!104 - Camilla has her usual post-lunch massage until 3 o'clock! She isn't the type to interrupt it because of the declaration...! The problem is her ability...!105 - In the approximately 15 minutes it will take to perform a "safety check" on Camilla and Tserriednich, gather the remaining six princess outside of Halkenburg and Fugetsu in room 1001 by 14:30!106 - Since she came alone and started firing wildly suggest that she is a counter-type or invincible-type, but it's hard to tell which one because both types activate from being attacked.107 - However, I've been restlessly observing her with Secret Window for a long time and the ability leveled up. It evolved to the point that I can observe what Musse saw right before his death!108 - Camilla is a counter-type!109 - Post-mortem nen activates upon her murder, which robs the killer of their life energy, using the same to resurrect her.110 - We still don't know prince Marayam's whereabouts.111 - He's probably in the nen space created by his guardian spirit beast.112 - Since they can be reached by their room phone, the declaration will most likely reach them as well.113 - Leave him to Saqouerre.114 - If he doesn't come to room 1001 by 14:30, send Rihan.115 - Tserriednich!116 - I wanted to torture you until you beg for death before I kill you, but I don't have the time now!117 - I will seer it into your memory, rest assured!118 - The sight of me as I'm killing you!
>>289257678119 - 15 minutes120 - before special martial law is declared!121 - Benjamin makes his move!And that's it.
>>289257712Thanks, anon! That's the second high effort non-mtl AI sloppa translation after VoraciousDrake
cammy and halk are going to diebenjamin cant kill tse because hes still tied into too many plotlines
When can we expect scans?
So Furikov has the ability to learn the details of any ability just by being around the user long enough, and he got sent to Woble's room?
say her name
>Hmm, maybe I should spy on Camilla one more time…j-just to be sure
>>289258282Thank you for reading.
>>289258726Probably to deal with Kurapika, since Babimyna wasn't able to figure out Kurapika and Bill's abilities. Kurapika having an ability that seals/steals other abilities and having one that can force a confession concerned Benjamin, as those directly counter assassination attempts into 1014.
If Benjamin doesn't kill at least most of the princes, he's a genuine jobber.
Cammy has an exorcist but the owl ability is still on her somehow. She is definitely ready for whatever Benjamin has planned. Cammy's actions seem erratic and without a thought at first glance but other than Benjamin she has been the most prepared and knows about nen.
>>289259013Also he needs to inflict some sort of permanent damage towards Tserriednich before obviously losing to him. If there's no harm done to Tserriednich in any way, than he actually jobbed to him.
Benjamin's character has always been competent and decisive but poor strategically, of course he's going to job.
>>289259136Benjamin lost the moment he had a time limit. He has to go on FULL offensive, killing every other prince while they just have to stay away and survive. He will probably take 2 princes at most with him.
SCANS WHEN??This is not a rhetorical question. Can somebody please tell me?
Once this arc gets to the equivalent of the palace invasion from chimera ant it could be the best arcs ever written in fiction.
>>289259299We are averaging around 5 chapters a year, and Togashi is 60 years old
>>289252308If Ben's swappees get memories, then Furikov may indeed be working with Unma and Beyond, and it was Furikov who was possessed by the flying arrow this chapter (and hence the swappee read Furikov's memories and mixed truth and lies to Ben). I think Longhi's hatred of her father is a red herring; Furikov loves Beyond.
>two princes get owned by gay poisonerm, wheres my le epic sophisticated nen battles
>>289259332He has like 30 chapters stocked at least that a lot. Yorknew was only 56 chapters.
>>289259242I love the guy but in this scenario I have to root against because there's so much unexplored potential with the other princes.
>>289259475At this point poison seems to trumph nen in every possible way. No exorcism, no zetsu nothing. Just have the antitode or die.
>>289259242>>289259136ben began to lose it the moment balsicmico left his side. Kaiser himself observes this when he delivers the letter and ben is basically ranting about martial law. Sending balsicmico to kill halk was the moment he basically lost his sole voice of reason and now hes rushing to kill everyone and will fail.
>>289259501>Yorknew was only 56 chaptersAnd with this chapter we have just crossed the 56 chapter threshold of them being in the boat.It goes to show you how inefficient Togashi has been with this arc.Togashi could've written this arc that way and gotten an artist, or he could've been way more efficient with his storytelling.At the current rate, he'll die before even finishing this arc.
>>289259536it's always getting mega aids how most characters die in this fucking series huh
>>289259536But both Halkenburg and Ben will live even if their physical body dies
>>289259576yorknew is not even close to as complicated as this arc though
>>289259468>Furikov who was possessed by the flying arrowNo, the arrow was fired a few hours after Ben had been poisoned
>>289259536The strongest
EnhancerchimpsEmittershittersConjurecucksI need slurs for the other 3
>>289259576I love this arc specifically because of the sheer amount of plot points going on and how complicated it must be to write. Again Togashi could fuck it up but there is no reason to doubt him. Also regarding the hiatuses Togashi seems to have entered a new prime. If he keeps up the pace and keeps stocking up chapters before hand I don’t see us having such long hiatus going forward. I mean this hiatus wasn’t even that long compared to others and the amount of chapters he’s managed to stock is impressive.
>>289259603No one is denying that.The point is that Togashi can't afford to make this arc the way he wants to make it.
>>289259576retard, this arc has like 50 times the information of course it will be longer. A better point of reference would be the chimera ant arc which was 132 chaps. The succession war will prob be around 180. And if you are genuine in your statement that togashi should get a artist your a fake fan and a idiot
>>289259699ManiputardsTrans sissiesSpeciautists
>>289259667halkenburg snipping people with his hatsu from different tiers is insane. Are we supposed to believe he shot at ben from tier 2?? i guess we will see when the chap drops officially. It makes the rumbling more ominous as well
>>289259730>you're a fake fan if you want to see Hunter x Hunter's story move forward and be completed before Togashi dies
>>289259785you're absolutely a fake fan if you think someone else should draw the manga instead of togashi.
Its clear that the slate will be wiped clean after Benjamin dies and we enter a new phase after martial law is finished. Most obvious plot lines that's reserved for later are:>Kurapika vs Tse showdownKurapika is more free to leave the room since fakewobble isnt a target anymore.>Hisoka vs Chrollo rematchNot that certain to happen in the chaos but maybe.>Spiders vs MaffiaThe maffia will turn on the spiders at some point.>Heily grunts vs Xi-yu maffiaThey powered up and are ready for the rematch.
>>289257712>The Benjamin guard who gets the call to capture Marayam has to go through Biscuit and HanzoYeah good luck dude
>>289259828It's definetely more preferable than Togashi using AI or someone else continuing the manga after his death. There're situations when compromises have to be made to not make things much worse
>>289255613Would anyone be able to explain the distinction between Hatsu and Nen abilities? It's the former that's really tripping me up, since I always considered "abilities" to broadly mean a unique application of "affinity + the four major principles + conditions", with Hatsu being a core of how they're constructed. How do you use an ability that restricts your own expression of Nen?
Halk's arrow has only a small probability to exchange the actual user, he was lucky the first time, but maybe it didn't work on himself this time
>>289260079From VoraciousDrake's blog:>I once wrote, during my VeraciousCake days, about the differences between “Hatsu” and “Nen ability”. If you are part of the fandom who are accustomed to treating the two as synonyms, now is the time to convert. “Furykov cannot use Hatsu while he is using his ability” is not a paradox, it just means he can’t use one of the Four Main Principles “Hatsu”, as well as any advanced technique that utilizes Hatsu, such as Ko.
>>289259576It's been slowgoing but things seem to be heating up now. This is still going to be a long arc, but it could easily be much shorter than a lot of people seem to think, or enter into such a different phase that it feels like a new arc.I was getting pessimistic about Togashi's lack of awareness until this week.
Maybe it's the sunken cost talking, but this chapter seems absolutely masterful and cast a new light to most of the last batch. Can't remember the last time a chapter made me so excited.
>>289255613>82 - Furyukov's ability: "Fullmetal Alchemist" - Combo Master (Specialization)Togashi is really just putting his love for other manga on full display this arc, huh? Hinrigh and Tse have Jojo Part 5 inspired abilities, one of Ben's guards has a Yugioh ability, Shizuku got to name drop Death Note, Silent Majority references They Were Eleven, and now this. I'm sure there's more but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head in this arc.
>>289259950if it really reaches the point of togashi is gonna die before he concludes the succession war, he already gave us the placeholder ending in the event he fails to get to the one he wants to use. Real fans understand that togashi is to selfish to let someone else draw his manga and if he himself dies he likely would prefer no one else continue it. Thats honestly how it should be, togashi is one of the best mangaka ever and its not really hxh without him both writing and drawing it.
>>289260345>Togashi is really just putting his love for other manga on full display this arc, huh?It's not because of a fundamental theme of this arc. It stems simply from the fact that he get to have hundreds of characters with hundreds of different abilities, which gives him the opportunity to use all the ideas for references he built up over the years.
>>289259242>>289259514 What? Wasn't it stated in this chapter that trying to kill all princes is just a red herring from him, in order to hide his gardian spirit's power? (But then why not simply stay put and wait for his death then (or would him not flailing before dying feel suspicious?). I don't understand what he's trying to achieve.)
>>289260345>I'm sure there's more but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head in this arc.There's an even more significant one, but I never bring it up in order not to give ammunition to the haters.
>>289260345Izunavi and his coworker talked about Spirit Bombs and Dragonball earlier in the arc. And though I can't prove it, I think there's a connection to the founding emperor/Lotus Anchorite being an object of worship, and the mentor from the Karma arc of Phoenix becoming a mummified Buddha. There are other parts of Togashi's work that seem inspired by Tezuka, but I'm not big-brained enough to draw those connections.
>>289260439I'm pretty sure he's just trying to round everyone up and kill them. Or blackmail them (not knowing all the details about the ritual)
>>289258835I can't believe this is canon.
>>289259536All the way back to the Hunter Exam.
>>289258835Guy literally just sat there all day to peep on his sister
>>289252154Nencho confirmed soulless
>>289260461Kacho x Fu incest confirmed?
>>289260699Or that she's juat a soul tgat doesn't reside in a body
>>289260699It means she doesn't have a body and is out of the succession war, I don't think it means anything else. She knows things that Kacho did and Fugetsu doesn't, she's still Kacho.
>>289260345Who's getting a Shigurui based ability?
>>289260910Morena's card game was already that.
>>289251858Can somebody post the "real" nen type wheel that some anon made? It was another way to interpret the enhancer, emitter, etc, distribution.
>>289252154This page confirms wobble is on the boat right?
>>289261008Why would it?
Did wobble or fake wobble went through the nen beast ritual?
>>289260345Speaking of references, Youtube's recommendations just made me realize one:According to Togashi, Kurapika was based on T.M. Revolution. That artist has a song called HEART OF SWORD.Kino?? https://youtu.be/NFxSCSGxCjQ?si=GcJ9Ct1xskV3FUnm
>>289261241
>>289260345Waiting for Babimyna to expand his domain
>>289259667You misunderstood my point. Furikov was working with Unma and Beyond, poisoned Ben, and THEN was swapped.
>>289259683100% chance her hatsu changes her aura to poison
>>289261339He'd be the second character to have one
>>289261483This chapter Halkenburg explicitly says he doesn't want to confront Ben face to face as he would be easily spotted. He clearly had another aim at mind
>>289261595>Leave Gel to me
>>289261682*in mind
>>289261644that was a great fight, perfect balance of fun and clever
>>289261731Eh...Morel takes too long just pretending to sleep.Best fight with the balance of fun and clever is Hisoka vs Chrollo. Specially with the extra layer of understanding that Chrollo wasn't alone in the fight.
>>289260461No. "Kacho Fugetsu" is just a common Japanese phrase for beauty of nature and seasons.
>>289260345Yes, his media knowledge is truly extensive. One of the most encyclopedic minds there is.
>>289261821I don't know why the idea of Chrollo fighting with their help rubs people the wrong way. I think it'd be a cool reveal.
>>289252154I wonder how they recovered Kacho's body.
>>289265932Chrollo was never close to losing, he had all the time in the world to plan and execute a boring strategy that was foulproof and meanwhile he did actually owe Hisoka a fight after Yorknew. Alternatively if he just wanted to jump Hisoka with multiple people and kill him, there are also less contrived ways of doing that. The only reason that Chrollo might have to cheat in a fight might be meta-magical in that he's unable to return abilties or he might need to pull of a large heist to steal a ability of a strong nen user like a fellow spider.
>>289260345During Yorknew when the PT run on a wall to get around a crowd of civilians on a sidewalk one of the civvies calls them ninja, using the Konoha sigil.
>>289266714>Alternatively if he just wanted to jump Hisoka with multiple people and kill him, there are also less contrived ways of doing thatThe problem with that approach is that a PT member could very easily die, even if the group ended up killing Hisoka.Chrollo's plan (or Shalnark's, who knows) was perfect and genius...Until O MY RUBBER NEN happened.
>>289260439No, his goal is to kill all the other princes and then make his son the heir right before he dies. It's basically impossible though.
>>289251858The aura on this guy.
>>289260423I like how Halkenburg's ability is named after the Japanese title for the movie We Need to Talk About Kevin.
>strongest nen user meruem died of radiation poisonNen havers are hack frauds. Nenless build is endgame
>>289270799Kinda bullshit that the epitome of nen users, an emitter with access to 80% enhancement proficiency and emitting understanding to photon level couldn't enhance his own already superior biology to survive the radiation / poisoning.
Benjamin is still alive during the martial law... How did he handle Camilla and Tse.?
>>289271866>>289257678He use the poison on cammy
