Togashi did say the spiders (and Kurapika) will all die, but he never specified when.
He was just fucking with the interviewer. Everyone dies eventually.

So the way I was thinking was that Benjamins wants to become a part of strengthening the succession ritual. So while the mummy is the one who oversees the rules, he would become the overseer of all GSB becoming the 4th part and making the ritual stronger. Remember GSB are dependent on the hosts personality so in some part he was wishing for something like this. He even mentions himself that's its bigger than becoming king. So Benjamin calm reaction and easy acceptance to his fate this chapter makes more sense this way.

This is what I dont understand. If the soul has to be present and is the important factor. Why did they put this body in the coffin. Wouldnt that mean that Benjamin would need his original body as well when he wins since hes taking up a coffin slot?

Things we need to see before 14:55 (40 minutes into SML, aka Chapter 410 END)

1. Kurapika's Nen Class (10:00 - 12:00) which includes the "black piece of paper" exercise in the beginner class
2. Possible Tubeppa and Kurapika meeting (after 12:00) (Maor already stated he will invite him in c.411, and we need to see Tubeppa's GSB partnering with Kurapika, which is her only hope of surviving against Ben's soldiers)
3. Chrollo moving up during Halk's Procession (13:00 - 14:00)
Might include
3.1. Feitan and Phinks in Tier 2 searching for Morena's hideout (will probably be interrupted at 14:15)
3.2. Nobunaga, Franklin, Machi, Hinrigh and ChaR in Tier 3 fighting Televares, Quorolle, and Daemon in 'Processing'
3.2.1 Hinrigh 'betraying' the troupe and avenging Lynch
3.2.2 Wang betraying the mafia/troupe, also revealing the Joker
3.2.3 Tsudonke getting his spider autographs
3.3. Hisoka fighting and killing Bono in Tier 1
4. Zhang Lei escaping to the lower tiers (Before 14:00)
4.1. Tie-in with the Hinrigh-Troupe-Heil-ly subplot?
5. Luzurus escape to the lower tiers (Between 14:00 - 14:15)
5.1. Tie-in with Melody/Kaiser's assassination attempt?
6. Sakuere getting BTFO'd by Bisky in 1013 GSB dimension (Between 14:00 - 14:30)
7. Rihan dispatched to 1013 to deal with Marayam's GSB in the original room (14:30)
8. Gathering Princes to 1001 (Between 14:15 - 14:55) (Should include 2 of Tubeppa, Taithon, Marayam, Woble. Most likely the first 2)
9. Benjamin's "safety checks" on Cammy and Tse (Between 14:15 - 14:30) (This will probably include Cammy's death or TSK-17 poisoning, and Tse's fake death... Tse's fake death is foreshadowed by Ben's monologue in 413 "I'll make sure to burn it in your eyes... the sight of me at the very moment I kill you")
9.1. Tse's training sessions before 14:15 (possible flashback to show his latest Nen development)
9.2. Cammy's post-lunch massage before 14:15 (possible flashback to show her plans and GSB ability, and more importantly a Cammybros fanservice)

I don't understand why Furykov didn't tell his daddy about Beyond's curse beforehand.

>>289299219
Togashi is truly losing his marbles. This is how you get retardedly rushed twists and turns like the last chapter.

In two pages Benjamin accepted his death, 100% trusted his subordinates idiotic excuses and went all-in on a Hail Mary Play which wasn't even explained to us before.

Why are these characters acting like this? Are they perhaps manipulated (there's no indication, but if they are, we will find out as an aside in 10 fucking chapters time when the dramatic impact is zero).

Togashi has clear issues doing this thing.
What's the argument against? "Plot holes and forced development are still exciting to read"?
>>
>>289299367
It was truly a badly written chapter. But there’s enough hype moments and aura for the average Shonen fan to not care about it. Genius by Togashi. Save his weakest writing for the Twitter Shonen reader chapter
>>
>>289299358
Togashi forgot/he's retroactively changing the character's motivations and backstory to get out of the corner he's painted himself in.

Benjamin's motivations should be extremely clear. If there's any foul play from Furykov it will basically break the entire logic of the thing.

He hides stuff both from characters and readers anon, it's a fun little game for him.

Remember that he has like 30+ storyboards done already.

Also most of this stuff is foreshadowed a bit

We are told there are curse users, parasitic nen, post mortem nen, inner workings and limitations.

We knew Beyond was involved with DC/Kakin in some form but we aren't told what's his desired final conditions given he's already is heading to the DC

Benjamin probably knew about his GSB's ability long before this and had already accepted that he would eventually have to die for its full power to manifest. His plan was likely to win the succession war, become king, and only much later become 'kakin's guardian deity'. Furykov merely suggested accelerating that process because of Beyond's curse. That's how I see it at least. The plan itself didn't change, nor was it newly conceived, it was simply moved forward.
As for whether Furykov's claim about the curse is even legitimate, Benjamin has little reason to doubt him. Benjamin knows his death isn't truly the end, so if Furykov wanted to betray him, poisoning would be a strange choice. He would have been better off trying to exorcise or neutralize Benjamin's GSB. You could argue Furykov lied about how Benjamin's GSB works in the first place, but he would still need to craft an upgrade (which he's probably already done), meaning he is truthful/loyal. If he were deceiving Benjamin, it would make far more sense for him to destroy the GSB instead.

The issue is that these issues were sped through.

Benjamin should ask furykov why he didn't tell him. He should ask him specifics about the nen curse.

Furykov should be suspected for longer.
He should have to provide proof of loyalty in some way.

These things being unexplained fucks with the reader. It makes the chapter weaker.

Do you want the reader to be on board or to have to use his own logic to excuse these missing elements? And ostensibly only due to togashi pacing his chapters weirdly instead of allowing this story to organically reach this point?

Let Benjamin stew in a feverish paranoia an entire chapter. Is that so bad? Would that really destroy the manga?
But no, we NEED kurapika bullshit. We need the views of 20 other ancillary characters encroaching on the page time of actually important shit happening. It's nonsensical.
>>
I can see where the 2 anti-413 users are coming from, but even if I’m charitable to their POV, in no way is this chapter the deal real they make it seem. It’s at worst a slight mistep in how it was portrayed . You know what would be a real dealbreaker? If all the dead princes got revived at the end of the arc or something.

>>289299750
>Retard-kun we are repeatedly told what Martial Law entails , that Benjamin wants to enact it ASAP and now

-there's a curse inside me you didn't know
-your ability will be given to the succession war urn ceremony
-you will be able to live like a god
"Oh okay let's do that now"

That's a lot for Benjamin (and the readers) to digest and accept within what, two pages of straight dialogue and nothing else?

Benjamin literally didn't know about any of that until now.
>>
>>289299874
I don't think it's something like a "deal breaker" but there's genuine structural problems with togashi's work as it stands. That's my view at least. That's why the standards are dropping and the feeling of the manga is so off

I don’t know why this is so hard for people to understand. You’re 100% correct. If this was 1 and a half or 2 chapters instead of a rushed 1 chapter it would be better.
This has happened before this arc but this is the worst moment of it so it sticks out, especially since it’s at the one of the most pivotal parts so far.
The last time his happened so blatantly was probably when Melody suddenly planned to kill Luzurus

I don't disagree with this from a meta writing/storytelling perspective, but from an in-story perspective, you should note there's probably a small time jump between Furykov and Benjamin's conversation and Ben issuing the command at the end of the chapter (as shown by the small outside the Black Whale panel). So your next points could have already been explored during that time jump.

The use case for furykov becomes very small indeed, if any harm to him will bounce back on Benjamin. Doubtful he would be trusted or made a confidante in the first place.

It would mean serious suspicion on beyond as well. Think Benjamin would be hospitable enough to stand on stage, waving like a goober, with the man plotting his, and the entire royal family's deaths? You think Benjamin wouldn't simply kill beyond if he knew beforehand?

These are the plot holes this chapter creates. Which way do you want it?

Togashi apparently desires to keep the reader permanently off balance, never privy to even complete conversations in order to reserve the right to flummox the reader at any time in the story going forward.

I don't like being treated this way, I'm sorry man but I've reached my absolute limit. The fact that (apparently) the Benjamin nen beast is crucial to the current pivot, that we STILL don't know what it does but the characters know, and it is STILL being kept from us just breaks my balls.

You have to be a total masochist to find this shit fun and engaging to read at this point.

Why did Ben not make a fuss about Beyond quite literally manipulating events of the succession war, with baby bombs given to all the princess?
Why did he not start asking why his mom is helping a prince, who on paper, isn't hers?
>>

This shows Togashi isn’t up to the standard of the lit he gets compared to. This is the type of writing you’d expect in lowbrow mystery series
>>
>>289300242
>These are the plot holes this chapter creates.
From the very inception of Beyond, we've known he was blackmailing Kakin to take him to the dark continent. Because it was framed as a fake trip solely to get Beyond to the DC. Kakin has nothing to gain and like billions of dollars and 200k people to lose

>>289300346
Something would be done about it. He would be an enemy of the state if they knew. The entire succession struggle would be put on hold.

Benjamin as a person would never stand for it. That's my view on him. He views his duties to protect kakin seriously. Not only him but the entirety of the family has swords pointed at them at all times.

It's a catastrophically bad situation that would have to be resolved. Otherwise it would invalidate the entire succession struggle, which is supposed to be inside the family, prince against prince.

Again, Benjamin himself would never stand for it. Do you disagree? Do you think he's weak in the knees and a spiritual cuckold?
>>
>>289300381
if you don't read it in the original nipponese, you're not even reading it.
>>
>>289300391
Because Togashi’s lost the plot. He made things more complex than he can handle and it’s trying to claw his way out.
Just look at how Benjamin suddenly got the ability to rewind the Birds Eye power just to make it easier for Togashi’s to write his confrontation with Camilla
>>
>>289300356
on the contrary I feel like he's been spoon-feeding the readers too much information to the point where they now expect an autistic 2 page explanation about every single thing occurring, like it's a novel.
at the end of the day, manga is a visual medium and you should be able to read information based on expressions and visual cues.
it's fine for him to push the plot forward every once in a while without getting bogged down by having to explain every minute detail to his readers.
huh is pretty much the only manga I've ever read that does it.
compare that to like a fujimoto who never explains jack shit (the opposite extreme)
>>
>>289300247
>why not just do it now??
Either to give the chapter a stronger ending, or because Togashi doesn't consider this information important to the reader's understanding and sees it as merely cosmetic.
>So let me guess, we’ll flashback to have a better explanation.
I don't think we will. At most we'll probably get a brief mention from Furykov or Benjamin, similar to how Musse's ability upgrade was handled. That by the way is another example where I could imagine a more natural storytelling approach, like showing Benjamin eavesdropping on Camilla over multiple chapters and multiple days instead of simply telling us afterward. But I think Togashi decided that would be unnecessary and would only slow down an already convoluted storyline. These are the kinds of things I could honestly see a good anime director (definitely not the ones involved with the 2011 adaptation) improving on.
>>
>>289300410
Wrong. Kakin seeks glory. They seek international recognition. They seek a pivotal "happening" that cements their rise as a serious nation of well respected people.

Yes, it is propagandistic, yes they wont actually go to the DC. It is still relevant. Spitting in the face of the v5 taboo and actually getting what they want, + membership in the (now) V6?

That's worthy. Kakin is making out like bandits. Their little trip has turned into a multinational event supported by the entire world + various groups including HA

Certain things, if they pertain to the plot, are necessary to explain. This should be basic level literacy.

The nen beast apparently being pivotal in Benjamin's current planning? That is one such thing.
However you're right in that he's giving out dissertations left and right, and that's the other thing.

Togashi is both overexplaining and underexplaining. He's showing too much when he doesn't need to,'and far too little when it matters.

Morena card game being one such thing where the actual rules of the game literally did not need to be there. Ending up not mattering the slightest and Borksen being hit with an untold, unseen "punishment" where she truly couldn't have done anything different with the information she had.

So what was the point of the chapters previously? There was no point.

Seems like Togashi has shoddy motivation and needs certain things to keep himself challenged like a massive cast of characters. Fucking with the reader through omission of details, a web of plotlines, etc.

I don't see the nen beast being explained as pivotal at all. You're meant to be left wondering how exactly Ben will try to pull this off, but you're given plenty of clues based on his personality and the tidbits we are made to know.
It's just that huh readers are used to being spoonfed the details of abilities in little text boxes, leading them to being incapable of utilizing their own brain.

You and me are talking about different things.

What I've described are what the world generally knows, and what Kakin knows. That's the stated goal. No one knows of Beyond's schemes.

If they did, things would be radically different. Do you think all the princes and all the bodyguards are one Entity that views letting Beyond make a mockery of their rituals as Cool and Good and worthy of letting it happen, because Beyond himself is so important? Probably not, because that's be retarded.

Obfuscation of key elements, like what the beast does, needs to serve a narrative purpose. For what reason is it being kept from us?

It would be like having Gon meet melereon and just skipping the "perfect plan" explanation. Then having the characters already know the plan while the reader is kept in the dark. Why?
Why would this be better than what we got?
>>
>>289300410
Kakin isnt aware about the fake Dark Continent, right? And even if they are or find out later, having a foothold near the DC allows them to set up for future expeditions on top of legacy building for Hui Go Ro
>>
>>289300719
The flip side would be what, that Nasubi has a multi tier conspiracy where every single dissident is silenced, assassinated or exiled solely so that a separate actor can skullfuck his entire lineage and sabotage his entire country for no personal gain?

Is that what's going on? Why not simply put Beyond's bastard on the throne at that point?

It has nothing to do with it hat scenario whatsoever. First of all. Those are protagonists. Togashi always makes certain we are very aware of protagonist goals.
The goals and abilities of antagonists like Benjamin are often obfuscated.
Just think back on Hisoka or Illumi in the beginning. We didn't know shit about them or their abilities. All a big mystery.
It's to keep the reader guessing and also wondering how the protagonist can counter their actions.
>>
>>289300493
Well I don't personally think it's a fuckup. It's mostly a limitation of the manga medium. You can't realistically expect every single detail to be shown or explained in just 19 pages without shifting perspectives dozens of times each chapter. Sure you could explain everything in a more conventional shounen arc, but this isn't a conventional arc. The Succession War has a cast of POV characters that rivals novel series like ASOIAF. An anime adaptation could theoretically handle this much better. Using my earlier example with Musse, adding a 10 second scene every other episode of Benjamin eavesdropping on Camilla would be easy, and it could even serve as a nice breather and a visual transition between scenes in a 20 minute episode. In a 19 page manga chapter however, every panel and page and scene comes at a great expense. When you're juggling POVs of 14 princes, dozens of guards, dozens of Hunters, the Zodiacs, the Phantom Troupe, and multiple Mafia families, I don't think Togashi has the same luxury most shounen mangaka and visual media directors do. Honestly I'm not even sure a novelist could consistently depict every one of these details with a cast this massive. It would take forever to finish such a book.

It's only rushed because Benjamin learned what his beast does offscreen.
Based on the clues we have, it seems to give Benjamin some sort of benefit if he ever dies. With that piece of information, all of Furykov's actions makes sense.

I don't even participate in the Hisoka vs Phantom Troup shit flinging, but I think it'd be much more interesting if Hisoka won and lived. To develop a character seeking fights and its thrills, and turning him into a crazed psychopath sounds more engaging than whatever bullshit the phantom troupe do.

I’m stuck on the middle. On one hand, this chapter compounds minor issues I’ve had with this arc in one of the most important moments (so far). On the other hand, there’s much bigger fish to fry this arc, this doesn’t ruin the Benjamin storyline, and knowing Togashi he is EXCELLENT (in my opinion) at making things better retroactively.
Thats why I’m rarely in these threads complaining. Because Togashi is a retroactive master.

Like I said, you don't know how Illumi or Hisoka do what they do in the beginning.
Not to mention, this isn't the ability of the antagonist himself but his nen beast, which throughout the arc have had mysterious abilities that are gradually revealed to us.
Ben's simply happens to be last. Ever since the beginning it's obviously been set up to be the one with the most impact on plot which is why only question marks are displayed.

The characters don't know, but it's not like the specifics of cutting with a card or using a "mysterious" force actually pertain to the hunter exam. It actually doesn't. Hisoka could use a sword. Illumi's mind control or transformation could just be a quirk. Its actually not relevant to the same level that Benjamin's current plot actually is.

How do we know when he succeeds, how do we know when he will fail? Do we know if he can fail next chapter or will he be protected against some threats but not others? We know nothing, and it is relevant to our understanding of future conflicts.

Again, where has togashi previously obfuscated in this way?

>>289300954
I'm not talking about this scene in particular. Expanding on Furykov's scene alone would probably take another 2-3 pages. That's one part, then there's the Musse ability upgrade. Then there are many other things. Like what exactly happened to Vict? What happened immediately after Shikaku's suicide? What has been going on in Room 1013? How have Vergei's lessons with Bisky been progressing? What has Sakuere been doing? Did he call Benjamin from there? Did he tell him about the Nen dimension? Did Benjamin order him not to return so he could continue investigating without risking being locked out? Then there's Coventoba. Did he discover anything about Zhang Lei's GSB during those twelve days, or has he really just been staring at the coin the whole time? I'd assume the former. What about Hashito? Does he want to join Kurapika's Nen classes? We know Sakata is interested, but we have no idea about Hashito. And regarding Tenftory, does Sakata know he's preventing Zhang Lei's other guards from entering for the sake of easier promotions? Did he report that to Zhang Lei, or does he simply not care? Then there's Camilla's GSB. The havenots should be able to see it. Have they learned anything about its abilities? Surely they would have run experiments or made observations. None of that is shown. My point is that if we expected every one of these questions to be explicitly answered, the 74 chapters it has taken to reach this point in the story would probably become 300. An anime adaptation (or visual media in general) can handle these kinds of details much more easily because its currency is time (seconds and frames) not space (pages). A director can sprinkle in brief 5-10 second scenes throughout an episode without sacrificing major story beats, whereas every extra manga page has a significant opportunity cost.

And no, I don't wash cocks other than my own of course.

Unironically and unequivocally, this shit is pure KINO anon. You legitimately couldn't have named something worse to get your point across.

We don't need to exactly know what Benjamin's Nen Beast does. We have been left with the BREADCRUMBS. Hunterscholars are already able to deduce that it entails some sort of soul/mind/body transformation which will let Benjamin become the throne's successor.

On a meta-narrative level, I am thinking of calling this something like "Tell X Don't Tell"-storytelling, but either way, this shit right here is peak. Sasuga Togashi-sama

The current arc is way too dense for you to get a satisfactory explanation but I'll try anyways.

The son of Netero, Beyond Netero announces an expedition to the Dark Continent, an unimaginably massive landmass surrounding the realm of humans that has incredibly harsh conditions and is filled with horrifying entities. Beyond schemes with the King of the Kakin Empire in order to get this expedition spearheaded, which forces all of the major countries to invite Kakin into their organization and for the Hunter's Association to get involved as well and hold Beyond captive for the duration of the trip. Ging and Pariston have joined Beyond Netero's group to explore the Dark Continent with Ging looking to prevent whatever Pariston is scheming and to do some exploring of his own. Hisoka finally fought Chrollo at the Heavens Arena and was completely shitstomped and died but he revived himself with post mortem Nen and is now looking to kill the entire Phantom Troupe and is on the ship headed to the Dark Continent. The Phantom Troupe is one the ship as well because they're looking to steal the treasure of the Kakin Empire and to kill Hisoka for good. The Phantom Troupe however, end up getting involved with the Mafia and have teamed up with two of the mafia families to take out the third one. The King of the Kakin Empire is also using this expedition to host a Succession Contest where each of his heirs must use subterfuge and political scheming to be the only prince left surviving and be named the true heir. The Princes are aided by a Nen Beast unique to each of them that they can't see. Kurapika is on this expedition because the 4th Prince has all of the remaining eyes of his clan. The characters are currently on a massive ship sailing to a fake dark continent where they will drop off the Royal Family and everyone else while the Hunters will sail to the real dark continent.

That's an extremely brief overview and I left out a ton of details.

Pretty much. I think we should’ve got a little more reaction about the beyond baby stuff from Benjamin, a little more in depth explanation from furykov about Unma and what he learned about Beyond, and just a little more internal strife and struggle before Benjamin accepts Furykov back into his heart.

I'm of two minds on that. On the one hand, the Beyond stuff seems like relevant information to just about every character, that they'd likely have some thoughts about because of its implications on Kakin and the Succession Contest. I can understand thinking that it feels off to just have ellipsis.
However, delaying this, or even not addressing it, can speak a lot about Benjamin as a character and make the reader ask questions. Does Benjamin already know about Beyond's involvement in Kakin, just not that Furykov was his child? He's in a position of sufficient power and influence to be aware. Perhaps he just does not care about this revelation, as he believes that, whatever is about to happen to him via his GSB and Furykov's ability, is of far grander importance. Maybe being on the precipice of death is making him hasty.
A similar thing can be said of his lack of struggle in regards to a seeming betrayal. Benjamin is just that kind of guy. He holds absolute belief in his loyal soldiers. Plus, Benjamin and Furykov are clearly privy to information the reader is not, primarily about his GSB. What Furykov has said about his plan must align with said knowledge, so Ben trusts him. This could, of course, be a wrong move, but not necessarily wrong or uncharectristic.
As for Unma, it's now clear the queens, or at least her, will have some degree of importance later. Not elaborating right now is fine. Plus, Benjamin simply believes she's chosen Tserriednich over him, unless he also knows about Halkenburg. No further speculation needed from Benjamin at the moment, and the narrative has bigger fish to fry with how much shit is about to go down. A detail like that, which is clearly vital, yet not immediately important, is nice to chew on. Something to have in the back of our minds whilst events with more direct effect take place.

Because haleknburgs body is confirmed dead and Benjamin already suspected something happened to balsamico after he met with haleknbrug in court. There’s no other way he could be using his ability unless he had a new body, and the only logical body would be balsamicos

Autists want Togashi to just cough up an encyclopedia article of how everything in the story works with no regard for how it's presented in the narrative I swear. Let me ask you, how does the story get better if we know exactly how this ability works right now? All it would change is confirmation that we can trust Furykov which we can't and shouldn't 100% just yet. Especially with multiple manipulators working against Benjamin present in the story. People have theorized Benjamin's beast is a reincarnation ability since his secret baby was revealed last batch, so to the readers Furykov's answer this chapter plays on what we've already put together on our own to create a satisfying enough answer to believe him but offers no certainty ether. It would only serve to satisfy an autistic urge to have all the pieces of the puzzle not to create a better scene.

Would Furykov telling Ben his plan before poisoning him, and Ben agreeing to the plan since he had a loaded gun to his head anyways make this exchange better?
I just don't get why Furykov didn't say anything, and by giving Ben all this info about his mother, and Beyond, he should have been able to show that his allegiance was not compromised.
>>
>>289299358
He could be bullshitting. His words in this chapter don't entirely line up with what Kurapika and Longhi said about the Beyond babies. Kurapika thinks he can exorcise the Beyond babies, but Furykov called it impossible. Furykov talked about being threatened by Unma that Beyond could activate the curse remotely, but Longhi doesn't think that's possible since it'd make the curse weaker. And Furykov thinks Benjamin dying first would trigger a curse-back, but three princes have died already (not by Beyond curses) and has anyone mysteriously died as a result? It's true that we don't know every character on Tier 1, but if someone died of mysteriously circumstances, would Togashi seriously not show us? Not even show characters talking about it and speculating what could have caused it? The only things that we've seen on Tier 1 that could've been related to the Beyond curse is stuff working the other way: princes being weakened by something which could maybe be a Beyond curse but could be half a dozen other things as well. Seriously, can anyone remember a guard or soldier suddenly croaking for unspecified reasons? Forget timing it to a prince death, just any at all? I can't.

I imagine it's to test the candidates. Are you going to focus on figuring out your Nen beast? Or just roll with it and focus more on eliminating other participants?
More importantly, it rewards those who cultivated a strong, knowledgeable entourage, like Ben. And it further rewards Princes already familiar with Nen.

>>
>>289303562
No because he risks killing Benjamin’s beast with his own curse unintentionally. Personally I think this chapter further establishes the real players are the mothers of the princes since they are behind the scenes influencing who lives and who dies. Benjamin, through no fault of his own, got the short end of the stick this time and now he has to play the hand fate dealt him.
>>
>>289303669
He's tested taking a coin back and redistributing it but he hasn't asked anyone to hand their coin to a third party to see if that does something yet. And at some point he's gotta get someone to try cashing it in.
>>
>>289303393
>If we had found out earlier or right now, it would make his behavior coherent and understandable.
How? What about his actions do not make sense without a text bubble explaining the ability works? Benjamin trusts his men and makes quick impulsive decisions without his tard wrangler around, both of these traits have been hammered home repeatedly his modus operandi. All I see is a guy who's too hasty making a rash mistake without enough information that's going to get him killed. That is in line with everything we've seen about him so far.

Everything in this arc is so. much. fucking. plot. contrivance

Kurapika has a vested interest in stringing Zhang along, and since Zhang trusts his judgment, better to avoid observations that could give the man too much useful information. No way the hypothesis wouldn't be tested if Kurapika brought it up.

>>289303378
GSB imbued with In so they are invisible only to the participants of the ritual, from which Kurapika deduces that an enormous amount of Nen is needed to achieve it, or something like that iirc.
This is explained by Kurapika in the initial chapters of the travel.

It seems like Melody's going along with the plan mainly out of a lack of better options. She needs to keep Fugetsu safe while they're both at Kaiser's mercy. Multiple princes want to use her ability to stage a massacre so winnowing that down to killing at most one guy is a short term win until she figures out a better strategy.

how is that an asspull if furikov being a nen genius has been stated 40 chapters ago?

>>289303562
No what would make sense is adding a detail that Unma with the help of Beyond placed a nen condition that would activate his Beyond curse against Benjamin if he revealed the assassination plan to anyone or do not perform the assassination before [X] date. The only risk for this Unma & Beyond's nen condition is if Benjamin himself questions Furykov without any hints or prompts.
>>
>>289304251
>how is that an asspull if furikov being a nen genius has been stated 40 chapters ago?
"Nen genius" has nothing to do with being assigned from the queen for this shit and then just so happening to have the ability that makes it "okay" because he read the nen beast.

We still don't know how powerful Mizaistom is in combat, but given that he's a double star hunter and his hunter specialization is in crime, he's probably top tier. The only "fighting" he's done so far was against those thugs, and it was more just him showing off his hatsu.

In combat (no abilities): Higuruma (however we won't know until Mizai gets a proper fight (if ever))
In combat (with abilities, no holding back): Mizaistom, unless he's commited a serious crime at any point in his life, in which case he'd die in Higu's DE

Furykov's ability has been hinted at and slowly elaborated on through his level of ability analysis since Ch 369.

1st Queen Unma has final say on all Royal Army Officers, that includes Benjamin's guards despite thier loyalty to him.

Any other nen user can view the GSB of any prince. Shikaku saw Halkenburg's beast and immediately relayed to Benjamin the risks of approaching him. Most of the guards have some level of analytical ability, Furykov's is established as one level beyond. It wouldn't have take him long to decipher.

It's his the former, but the with new chapter's reveal, it's clear Furykov was sent both because of his knowledge of the minutae of categories, and because he could use his hatsu to analyze Kurapika if need be. It also answers why Fullmetal Alchemist wasn't used immediately on Kurapika: Furykov must've been busy using it on Benjamin's GSB, and while learning Kurapika's abilities matters, it wasn't a bigger priority.

I’m guessing next chapter covers Benjamin vs Camilla. The next chapter covers Tserriendich vs salkov, Benjamin encounter, Tserriendich escape. Chapter after that Tserriendich enters into secret passageway that he brought up like 50 chapters ago. It ends up being the same connection of passageways that Feitan and Phinks are going to the hei-ly in . We then switch to troupe POV.

How are my prediction skills?

>>289305493
100% wrong
The next two chapters are dedicated to Kurapika's nen classes before martial law is declared.
Then the rest of the batch is dedicated to explaining all of Beyond's lawsuits against the Kakin government.

From a narrative pov, what does Camilla have going for her to survive this Benjamin encounter? Her GSB seems about it. And also the general importance that comes with being the strongest female prince and number 2. Her curse users might actually do more once she’s dead out of revenge and Hatred of the monarchy.

>>289305562
Her GSB, the nen exorcist and curse users could conceivably do something. It doesn't look good for her though since her ability has been figured out.

Where is Yushohi and the unnamed Benjamin soldier going? They were with Benjamin in the VVIP area, then walked into the princes' quarters, walked past 1011-1014, then turned left between the rooms. So are they going to 1009? Benjamin said they aren't rounding up Halkenburg, though. Maybe they're just going to guard a door or two?

Actually, Halkenburg couldn't shoot Benjamin from that room anyway since there's too much of a risk he could hit someone in 1011 or 1013. I wonder if Halkenburg's hypothesis was about hitting people he didn't intend to. Up until now, he's always had indirect knowledge of where his target was. If he aimed at bed level towards 1011, he'd probably end up hitting someone, but would it matter that he didn't intend to?

>>289300702
It's kind of a weird situation, because we all thought his GSB was going to do something like save him by putting his soul in his baby, although that's kind of a shitty ability so there must be something more to it. Now we find out NOT what his GSB does, but that he knows what it does thanks to Furykov's ability, which is explained for us right here, and it sounds like it is something like what we thought.

This doesn't sound objectionable at all, this makes perfect sense, but I guess the way it was written just doesn't feel very good. I think that's true about this entire arc. It makes sense mechanically, but it isn't represented in an emotionally resonating way. You know, like a story should be. So that's why an increasing number of readers feel put off by the arc.

My theory is this arc has felt strange because everything up until now has been setup. If you think about pre-requiem Yorknew, pre-Ruuseigai CA and pre-Razor GI, all of them felt kinda' weird, right? Like there's multiple plot lines that feel unrelated at first, there's setup for future arcs instead of progressing the current arc further, there's Nen training, there's a several chapter stretch explaining systems that may or may not matter to the story.

So, I don't think this is necessarily different for Hunter x Hunter, I think it's just taking longer because it's a bigger arc.

You have to understand. Hisoka can only have fun when pairing up with opponents weaker than him.

Benjamin is kind of an idiot, though. Especially without Balsamilco.

Does Furykov even know his curse is for Benjamin? He's just doing this because there's a chance he might be, right? Unless he's only slightly younger than Benjamin, he couldn't know.

>>289305334
I'm sure a bunch of guards are dying, since that's their first order, but there are Nen users among them and the hunters aren't going to just let it happen. So if we go room by room:
>1003
We don't know who's in the room besides Coventoba. If Slakka's standing next to him, he's dead. Tenftory knows Nen but he's still a newb. He might put up a defense, but if he tries to run, Yushohi and baldy are in the hall.
>1005
Maor will have some needed help from Longhi. She's a Beyond baby. Then again, I don't think Longhi is that loyal to Tubeppa, she might try to run. I think Rihan will end up confronting Marayam's GSB, so he must get out of his situation alive, right?
>1006
This is interesting. Orau might kill Taithon's fuckboys. I don't think Izunavi will pick a fight he doesn't have to and I think Giuliano can't: he can't betray the Taithon Canon's one rule and that rule is probably the NAP. So Taithon might go to 1001 distraught but willingly.
>1007
Luzurus has three pro Hunters and a new Nen user in Satobi in his room. Plus Rice is probably doing his own bullshit. Kanjidol might be screwed, but he looks like he's already in the middle of something. It's possible he got shot by Halkenburg.
>1013

>>289307669
They will likely take advantage of the fact Martial Law will be in place and make their move the moment it turns into a kill zone and gives itself away for an opening. That said not all the spiders will make it to tier 1 on purpose.

>>289307725
The moment he got poisoned, Ben is out of options, and Mike would probably agree that martial law plan is the only way to win.
The Hunter Association is not going to like it when these military goons start trying to muscle their members, because there is no way the contracted hunters are going to abandon their clients, either because professional, or morale reasons.

In 410, Ben was kind of depressed that he's dying but now he's ecastatic about becoming Kakin's guardian diety. It... just doesn't add up. His motivations, his feelings, they're inconsistent.

By Benjamin's monologue this chapter, it's very safe to assume that it isn't.
Benjamin is fully accepting his death in order to leave his GSB combined with Benjamin Baton to the future Kakin rulers.
The fact that he wants to replace the Seed Urn ritual means his GSB will grant powers to future kings instead.

There's a timespan between the start of Halkenburg's funeral and the declaration of Martial Law that we haven't seen anything about. Chrollo was thinking about making his way to upper tiers at the start of Halkenburg's funeral, and Phinks & Feitan were already on the processing area stairs as the funeral started.

Specialist was updated with the card game
Manipulation with Zhang coins
Conjurer more or less with Silent Majority and SGB
Next turn is transmutation and I hope more conjuration and emission too

>he was flummoxed multiple times at how Chollo juggled the abilities he employed despite being given all the information he needed to understand Chrollo's strategy
Not all the information. Chrollo's explanation was a deliberate misdirection.
He wanted Hisoka to assume he was doing everything by himself, so that Hisoka would grossly miscalculate the number of puppets he would have to deal with, until it was too late, and he could be overwhelmed by 10 times that amount.
The surface level reading of the fight has a 10x error that can't be explained by regular means.
The answer to that error is that Kortopi was the one making the copies with Gallery Fake instead.

tell me more, i already forgot

> Next turn is transmutation and I hope more conjuration and emission too
Will be nice if transmutation allows you to actually alter matter while conjuration let you create matter
All the body modification techniques are ambiguous and the nen system is seriously lacking in some full metal alchemist shenanigans

The true one is the beast's ability, which is not actually explained because the author didn't decide what it is yet. It just served what he wanted to do with Benjamin and so he forced an explanation.

>>289309735
It was already confirmed that Kortopi didn't do shit directly and Chrollo had his ability.

Much the opposite actually.

the guards were given lease to kill any non royal army guard. so unless they are already armed, can protect themselves with nen, or be protected by the beasts or hunters, it's quite possible a lot of these tertiary guard characters we've come to know will die in the bloodbath. for example, this covers every nonmaid/hunter character taking kurapika's lessons, so everyone besides pika, bill and the tall guy from 1013, and possibly the maids that already learned nen if bab or whoever is feeling extra cautious or vindictive

No no you don't get it. He need to win the SW before he dies in a few hours. THEN he will become a god after death that will protect his own royal seed. He won't be a god for his brothers.

You don't think Benjamin considers "provisional hunters" to be "Hunter Association"?
Maor and Gipper are also royal army.
>>
>>289309886
Hunters don't really make much sense in the world. The means of activating nen just seems to get easier and easier with every arc, so the population being so low is hard to believe.

One of her bodyguards talked about buying lube for his asshole, because Tyson likes to get touchy feely with her boys. Why would he say something like that?

I was also directed to thinking Halk would be aiming for Benjamin's body just because their plots were intersecting across the chapter, but that'd make no sense, as Benjamin is on the move and Halk has (seemingly) no insider info on his location atm.
My bet is that he's aiming for Luzurus, A) He is one of Halk's older brothers, B) His room is conveniently placed right next to 1009, and C), We can assume he does have insider information on his location through Halk's guard who answered the phone. Some anon had a really good breakdown about how Shikaku's suicide served a double purpose in testing his ability, but also in placing one of Luzurus' guards in a predictable position for posession.

It's a bit of meta narrative, but there's still grounds to cover on discovering how halk's ability works as he mentions himself, my theory is that this test will accomplish verifying at least two things, the first being whether the ability can remain functional when aimed at another prince (Guess would be yes, as it's not a nen beast in itself), and second, whether there's an extra condition to his ability when the user is a disembodied spirit with a dead body themselves. (Halkenburg) My theory is that in further uses of the arrow, the soul superimposition will always default to him, instead of a random follower.

Theta dear will become a human toilet 100%, just so we can see what Sandnigger's nen beast does, just out of the fact becoming something "not human" has already been foreshadowed in the plot.
RIP agent Starling.

You apparently can also make someone to emit information directly. That's cool.
Honestly, a long time ago, when I read this manga for the first time, I thought that Emisson was the lamest category.

>>289310970
When he says "brother" the kanji reads First Prince, so Luzurus being his older brother is irrelevant. I also agree with the Rice theory, but I don't think that gives him a good enough way to locate his target. Shikaku had to get someone to the intercom and then shout so Halkenburg could hear him. We're unaware of anything like that here.

So he definitely said he fired an arrow at Benjamin. Whether he was being metaphorical while firing a literal arrow at someone else, I don't know. But regardless, Togashi had Balsamilco explain to us that Halkenburg shouldn't be able to shoot an arrow at a prince, so I'm not sure I buy him successfully shooting Benjamin or Luzurus. But maybe the GSBs are fine with it since it isn't lethal or damaging in any way? Kind of a stretch.

This is his final job, speedy. After this, he'll have all the scarlet eyes and his life's goal will be complete.
