Here we go once again.Chapter 414 - Friends (can also be translated as "Comrades")1 - Disturbing activity in prince Luzurus' room?!
>>2894148572 - Uoooh! That's it! That's the stuff!3 - I'm bursting with excitement!4 - Hehehe.5 - Mar-tial-law. Mar-tial-law.6 - Five minutes until its declaration.7 - Ahhhh, hurry up, come already. C'mon, martial law.8 - I'll kill all the bastards who oppose me!9 - I'm definitely built for fighting, not thinking.10 - Hey.11 - Something's different about the first prince's personal soldier.12 - Let's inform the prince.13 - It's Rice! I'm coming in!
>>289414867This guy went from a complete rando to one of my favourite characters in the arc. It's like he represents half the audience.
this week shitzuku will pay for her crimes against humanity
Which day of the week does viz tl come out?
wtf is this guys name again
>>289415186Sunday or Monday (depending where do you live)https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100015
>>289415221Thanks
>>289414857Agile bloatlord.
>>289414867>Mar-tial-law. Mar-tial-law.Why am I in this chapter
>>289414867isn't Kanjidol just fucking dead? in the 8&9 panel the guy he thought he killed has his hand up shaking about to do something to him
>>289414867Correction, it should be plural, "first prince's personal soldiers".14 - The prince is currently sleeping. Tell me what you want.15 - I'm awake.16 - Bring me some water. I'm thirsty.17 - Two of the first prince's personal soldiers armed with automatic rifles are positioned outside Room 1009.18 - It looks like something's going on in the late ninth prince's room.19 - Ah!20 - Is it finally starting?21 - What is?22 - Special martial law...!23 - Are they going to attribute Halkenburg's death to a terrorist attack...?24 - They might even say he was the leader of the terrorists.25 - Convey this to all of my personal soldiers: do not resist under any circumstances! Drop your weapons and gather them into a pile.26 - Once martial law is declared, they'll shoot without warning.27 - Keep Benjamin's private soldier occupied. Any pretext is fine. He shouldn't interfere with a member of the Hunter Association.28 - He's currently sleeping...29 - If he begins acting before the declaration, that would indicate he has laready received a message via radio! Hurry up! Don't let him leave the break room!30 - Upcoming martial law!31 - Get rid of all of the drugs from the master bedroom! Throw them all into a pot and burn them! ASAP!32 - Rice, come with me for a sec.33 - Wasn't the drug matter already settled with the ministry of justice?34 - Once special martial law is declared, the military takes control of everything, so things could get ugly.35 - But anything goes in a military dictatorship, right? They can make black look white and do anything they want, even if we get rid of the stuff.36 - Stop complaining and carry out the prince's orders!37 - Oh.
>>289415543Luzurus is smart. Dark horse of the Succession War
>>289415543>The prince is currently sleeping.Halk fires at another prince, only his soul gets chosen from his group since he's the only prince. I could see it working like that.If Halkenburg is planning to win the war, he has to preserve face in front of the public and that means having the likeness of one of the princes. Either he bodyswaps with another prince or uses another nen ability like Chrollo's Convert Hands.
>>289415635It's possible, but if Halk has swapped bodies I feel like we would have had a clue in this chapter, but Luzurus doesn't seem very suspicious
>>289415606That’s Halkenburg tho
>>289415606Coincidentally both Luzurus and Zhang Lei made their moves before SML started, probably tipped off by the mafia somehow? Or maybe they have been expecting this from the start.
>>289415543nevermind
>>289415543The most based prince
>>289415119Its actually impressive togashi can pull that shit off, I genuinely want pic related to unironically pull off a 1 vs 3 against hanzo, bisky and the other guy in marayam room
>>289415642There are 2 clues. First, they say that Luzurus is sleeping, but then he’s suddenly awake. Second, Luzurus wants to talk to Rhys privately. Rhys should currently be possessed by one of Halkenburg’s bodyguards.
>>289415724Another clue is that Halkenburg might not know that the drugs are legal and settled with the Justice Department, which is why he wanted them burnt.Him wanting to talk privetly to Rice is the biggest giveaway though.But I just find it had to figure out the timing of the possession.
>>289415642>14 - The prince is currently sleeping. Tell me what you want.>15 - I'm awake.This after Halk fired an arrow...
>>289415119That's a nice way to announce that you're stupid
>>289414867/ourguy/
>Luzurus = Lazarus.It is another clue.>>289415667Even before it, luzurus demonstrated some intelligence.
Where's my son killua
>>289415543Was his nose always that big?
It’ll be really funny when Halkenburg in Luzurus body is about to win and then he suddenly dies thanks to Fuugetsu retarded plan
>>289415543Basho really doesn't want to get rid of his stash
>>289415606So was Kacho and we know what happened to her
>>289416018Well... she wasn't aware about the mummy.
>>289414857>Something happened after liike 3 yearsLET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO
Cummy died....
>>289415328He killed him for good just a couple of pages later
>>289415994>halkenburg misses an arrow and dies instantly
>>289415328It looks like his dead body is twitching.
Fucking finally, this one is so big that I had to split it into two messages.>>28941554338 - Why did you kill him?!39 - Huh?40 - It was in self-defense. He attacked me first.41 - Put down your weapon...! You'd better start explaining.42 - Depending on the circumstances, a judicial investigation may be necessary...!43 - I don't mind putting it down, but...44 - This sure is strange.45 - Who's going to investigate who here?46 - No response... if someone is inside,47 - it would be an act of rebellion against the royal army.48 - The martial law cleanup operation is going faster than expected, but that suits me just fine...49 - To begin with, my ability to kill targets through a combination of my nen and my stinger ball is not suitable for group battles between nen users.50 - I'm pretty much defenseless inside my en... just someone entering my en would pose a huge risk... since I can't use "gyo", even a pistol wound would be fatal... to say nothing of how extremely difficult it is to maintain my en when surrounded by so many people, who may or may not be nen users and/or enemies.Physical Attacks--->Nen attacks--->Information received through the five senses--->Mental pressure--->
>>28941648151 - The wider my en, the greater the risk of collision with a nen user... If I run into an automatic type who reflexively attacks someone using en or gyo, someone else using en or a talented duo of emitters that shoot emitter bullets, I might as well pick out my grave.52 - That bastard Kurapika from the Hunter Association is taking advantage of this and increasing the number of enemies with nen abilities.53 - It's already becoming almost impossible to keep killing the princes without the other guards noticing...54 - If I were in an environment in which I could restrain and monitor a prince, I would be able to utilize my ability to the fullest...55 - However, even if I managed to succesfully restrain a prince, my ability is no longer needed now that martial law will be declared... in other words, my ability is no longer needed in this succession war.56 - We will both enter at the same time as soon as martial law is declared.57 - Understood.58 - That's exactly why they paired me up with Chimayashi.59 - Yushohi.>>289416481*through a combination of my en and my stinger ball
>>289415543where are the rest?
>>289416481>50 and 51Wait so his weakness is that if someone enters his En he gets sensory overload and is super weak?
>>289416535This is what I don't understand from this chapter. Maybe he's just a beginner Nen user, but I thought En is like, a super basic skill that has no disadvantage. I didn't know that some Nen users can't use En and Gyo at the same time.
>>289415145Dear god Kurapika was so lucky
>>289416570Maybe just his vows and restrictions? He's a specialized long range killer with his bees so as a restriction he autoloses in melee.
>>289416535>>289416570It seems like unless you're Pitou or Nobugod, using en is risky since it leaves you defenseless.
>>289416528It's a live translation. The pages as posted as they're done.
>>289416638In retrospect, we might have made fun of Nobunaga a bit too much.
>>289416570En is a pretty complex application. Even during Chimera Arc, Killua had virtually no grasp over using it.
>>289415543>Basho not wanting to get rid of the drugsKek
Why are people talking like Gon and Killua are actually going to board the ship? This is probably similar to Kurapika’s one chapter cameo during GI.Here ur three possibilities:>We get a short side adventure with Gon and Killua investigating Woble’s whereabouts, helping keep her safe, etc.>Same as above, except we only see the ending, where Gon and Killua tell Kurapika what they found, without showing the rest of the mission.>The page is just bait and serves as a reminder that Kurapika has good friends, tying into his development and the fact that he needs to learn to rely on others.
>>289414867>2 - Uoooh! That's it! That's the stuff!>3 - I'm bursting with excitement!>4 - Hehehe.>5 - Mar-tial-law. Mar-tial-law.This guy is literally me
>>289416492hurry up faggot, translate faster
>>289416570En is an advanced technique, similar to Ken it combines Ren + Ten and it is very taxing on the body. While Ken keeps your powerup from being flushed out with En you expand a layer of aura.
>>289416481So how exactly does he kill someone? He emits or conjures a chemical grenade to hit his target but why exactly does he need this risky EN for such a simple ability?
Seventh prince Luzurus Hui Guo Rou
>>289417038Dick riding obama obama
>>289417005really shows what a monster zeno is
>>289417021He's the stinger ball bee dude. His en's range likely plays directly into his ability acting as the range in which his stinger balls can be active.
>>289416911ungrateful Gon and Killua tourist
>>289416570En has always been a complex application of Nen, since your aura expands to cover a large area you obviously can't perform Gyo because it's literally the opposite: concentrating your aura in a specific spot.Gon and Killua never even touched on the use of En: paradoxically that led Killua to create Godspeed since he couldn’t use En, he had to activate an automatic response (Whirlwind) whenever something touched his aura in order to react in time.
>>289417204That doesn't seem fully accurate, I'm pretty sure that Ken = Ten + Ren similar to En, just another way of using the same principles.But pretty cool nonetheless.
>>289416570En means expanding your TEN. Don't think of it as a barrier, think of it as a field. He's stretching his aura thin as fuck, so it's effectively as if he's in low ten state and thus vulnerable.
>>289416570Nobunaga told you that En is an advanced technique.Zeno said it's an exhausting technique.Knuckle explains that advanced techniques consume more aura.Killua literally can't into En despite all his potential.You shouldn't be surprised at this point in the story.Pitou is the only very special case of stamina and talent that makes En seems "easy", and it's because of these datails that you understand how absurdly monstruos the Royal Guards were.
>>289417241Now that I think of this.Could a transmuter actually use En in a defensive way?Expand your aura in a layer -> Give it the property of steel -> Make a protective fieldPS: Emitters probably have an easier time using En given that they are proficient with separating aura form their body.
>>289417272Not only Pitou En is ridiculously big, it also have an irregular shape and tendrils so it presents an irregular behavior.We seen human nen users only make "spheres"
>>289416492This Chiyamashi guy was previously called Butch, right?
>>289417204>Gon and Killua never even touched on the use of EnThat's not true. They both did. They just aren't good at it.
>>289417232You're right, the image is confusing on the advanced applications. Ken involves maintaining Ren for a long period of time as a way to protect your entire body. Meanwhile En only requires Ten because it only works to detect within a certain radius, so it's less demanding but more technical.
>>289417315No, butch is one the far top left, chima is on the far right and is the last benjamin guard to have his name reveal
>>289417357Killua is bad at En. Nothing was said about Gon.
>>289417204Jujutsu Kaisen did it better
>>289415145Next week for sure
>>289417357Wrong.Gon never used En.He used REN as a poors man En.Both against Knuckle and against the jobber in the Heaven Arena.
>>289417402The whole point of En is making a layer of aura, which is going to be very thin and separated from your body, to cover more space that you will normaly cover with your Ren/Ken dragonball aura flushing.
>>289417389Thanks anon, i guess i have to re-read the whole thing again.
>>289417402>a poors man En.Therefore he touched on it.
>>289417434No problem
>>289417435There is a reason why Bisky taught them Ken but not En.My supposition is that one thing is extremely hard to pull of while the other is a combat basics.
>>289417272Pouf's En was pretty large as well.
>>289416481>>28941649260 - Are you ready?61 - Of course.62 - Chiyamashi's ability - "The King of the ?" (can't read the kanji nor the furigana because of the low-res scans) Manipulative semi-coercive type As long as you continue to touch a person for a fixed amount of time, both of you are invincible.63 - After that time ends, he enters a state of forced zetsu that lasts 100 times longer than invincibility time. Furthermore, after the state of forced zetsu ends, you will receive 1/3rd of the total damage that was negated during invicibility time.64 - However, the ability cannot prevent damage from cooperative attacks by multiple capable nen users.65 - I've confirmed with my en that there is only one person inside, but...66 - Depending on how much damage is negated during invincibility time, I could die once the same is over.67 - It... it was when the queen and Kurapika both fainted at the saime time.68 - I noticed it while I was changing the diaper for the first time.69 - Back then, I...70 - I was certainly very flustered, but... when I saw the fourteenth prince--no, he's not a prince--well, when I saw the baby's face,71 - I really thought... and excuse me for saying this - I thought that it doesn't matter.72 - My job is to serve you two...73 - ... so I acted as if everything was normal.74 - Nevertheless... I'm worried about the fourteenth prince.75 - I'm sure he's been brought to some safe place,
>>28941746476 - but after this... just what kind of treatment will she receive?77 - I don't know that either,78 - but it will depend on the last remaining prince.79 - Supposing... that what you said is correct80 - and that the succession is not resolved before the ship disembarks...81 - Will the remaining princes all be saved...?82 - Before that, we need to consider two very important issues.83 - First is Beyond's curse! If the condition for activating the same is "official participation in the succession war", then the fourteenth prince would be exampt.84 - However... in the worst possible case of the condition being "taking part in the urn ceremony"...85 - That case is... quite plausible...86 - Normally, it would be unthinkable not to participate in the succession war after taking part in the urn ceremony.87 - On top of that... if the curse had not fully taken hold because the prince was born only recently88 - and was somehow completed after boarding the ship...
>>289414857Terribly inefficient way to kill someone with a knife
>>289417278Yes, emitters should be able to use en better.Coincidentally, the best (human Zeno AND ant Meruem) en users we know are both emitters. But Kite is a conjurer, literally the opposite on the chart, and still capable of a 40ish meter en.As for the application of a steel barrier:I assume properties of aura are proportional to density. If Killua transforms his aura into electricity, I assume that if he uses little aura, it's weak voltage/amperage and if he uses a lot, it's high voltage/amperage. As such, en filling a whole sphere with "steeliness" aura would likely not work, unless you only work with a singular aspect (I assume you mean hardness, steel is ferromagnetic, steel is solid, steel is hard, steel is meltable, steel reacts to oxygen, steel is unbreathable due to being solid etc). If you were to transform your aura to be "hard and magnetic like steel", then with en it would be not all that hard and not all that magnetic. Whereas if you were to concentrate all the aura so it encompasses that sphere on the edge, then you could have a barrier as hard/magnetic as steel probably.Think area of a circle vs circumference of a circle. All on a line = stronk, spread over the area = weak.
>>289417357I don't think that's En but Gon was on the right track.>>289417402This.
>>289417464>As long as you continue to touch a person for a fixed amount of time, both of you are invincible.>After that time ends, he enters a state of forced zetsu that lasts 100 times longer than invincibility time. Furthermore, after the state of forced zetsu ends, you will receive 1/3rd of the total damage that was negated during invicibility time.kek wtf. funny. at this point Meroleon's ability is probably more OP
>>289417464I have to say, I'm a bit tired of nen support / overly specific techniques.Are unrealistic and doesn't make too much sense.We are told from the beginning that nen- Is something extremely personal based on ones idiosyncrasy and experience- Is something really hard to pull off that needs a ton of training and refinement It is a bit bonkers that somebody will spend all that time to make a specific technique that only works with an ally on a specific situation.Most people will develop techniques that can use alone and that are general enough to be useful in most cases.
>>289417481He's a retard, he even botched his second kill.
>>289417464>However, the ability cannot prevent damage from cooperative attacks by multiple capable nen users.Weak nen ?
>>289417524Benjamin's guards are trained since childhood to become super soldiers, no? I think it makes sense you end up developing a skill useful "to the team" rather than yourself.
>>289417479>83 - First is Beyond's curse! If the condition for activating the same is "official participation in the succession war", then the fourteenth prince would be exampt.>84 - However... in the worst possible case of the condition being "taking part in the urn ceremony"...>85 - That case is... quite plausible...Son of a BITCHWoble has become Scrotenger’s baby, he can be either on or off the boat depending on the Main Character
>>289417524They're soldiers in a military dictatorship who have been brainwashed presumably since they were little, I think it makes sense for their ability to reflect that.
>>289417497Yeah I get what you are saying.Maybe if you are skillfully enough instead of a "thin sphere" you could pull off some sort of "barrier" in front of you, or something like that.Something like the yugioh nen ability, but instead of trapping nen techniques be able to stop physical projectiles.
>>289417524Military guys have a cucked mentality
>>289417524to be fair, most of the support nen is from the guys on the army, where they're taught to think as a team rather than individuallyHei-Ly, with the exception of the lawyer, have more "standalone" hatsus
>>289417544>>289417558maybe you are rightbut having your TRUMP CARD depending on another person is still a bit crazy.I'm not saying not developing some kind of group technique.But your lifeline, dunno, seems crazy to me.
>>289417524Actually it makes total sense. They're from the army and they need to work in group, also they're elite soldiers picked for their loyalty to the first prince, they would develop any ability they were told to.
>>289417524This is like the weirdest thing to complain about. They're in the military and probably have been preparing for this war for ages, so it makes perfect sense for them to develop highly specialized abilities to carry out their missions.It's like complaining about the Have-Nots.
>>289417464>62 - Chiyamashi's ability - "The King of the ?" (can't read the kanji nor the furigana because of the low-res scans)> Manipulative semi-coercive type> As long as you continue to touch a person for a fixed amount of time, both of you are invincible.>63 - After that time ends, he enters a state of forced zetsu that lasts 100 times longer than invincibility time.

Were the STRONG NEN chuds right all this time??I'm almost killing myself!!
>>289417599Even irl military tactics work like this desu
>>289417402Heaven's Arena was zetsu to tune out his own ten getting in the way of feeling his opponents nen in the spinners, not him using en iirc.
>>289417599Don't look up how Benjamin's ability works....
>>28941746462 Looks like funachinda in the furigana. It might be gold or steel for the kanji?
>>289417402It's kinda the same thing ren just expends more aura
>>289417481my boy is doing it for the love of the game let him have his fun
>>289417507Ant hax.Every ant is a GENIUS compared to the average nen-shitter, be they hunters or freelancers or army people from Kakin.It's unfair, but that's life for you.
>>289417785I think it makes sense because they're half animals and animals are more attuned with nature, and Nen seems to be some sort force of nature. I really want the Dark Continent arc, I bet it will explain the origin of Nen
>>289417599Yeah but it's a bad example. These guys will have had trained with other boys when they were boys, had combat exercises in groups and made all their fighting in groups. If Kakin has a "battle buddy" system in place, the likelihood of such an ability being conceived grows exponentially. Benjamin's guys in general have a "brotherhood" theme. And many sport ultra specialized abilities that only work in a group context. We'll see though. Vincent had a solo ability that he had great confidence in. The one guy this chapter probably has a 'selfish' ability as well, given his confidence in acting alone. Wish we could've seen Air Blow in action. Maybe we will soon. My guess is transmutation and conjuration (conjure air? Making a compact mass of air?) you could also use manipulation for this.
>>289417785My head canon is that Bloster is Franklin tier or even a bit higher (more concentrated aura bursts, more durable stats, better stamina)
>>289417821Nen has been exclusively related to humans so far, with the exception of Nanika/Ai, but that thing is just possessing the human Alluka.Ants couldn't into nen until they got humans inside them.
>>289416760Finally, a post that isn't completely retarded.
Benjamin leads the army. He picked his soldiers for this trip specifically.
>>289417829I feel like Air Blow is just an emitter projectile in the shape of an open palm.Why go stupid extra instead of simple straightforward?
>>289417464>As long as you continue to touch a person for a fixed amount of time, both of you are invincible>However, the ability cannot prevent damage from cooperative attacks by multiple capable nen usersInvincible bros I though we were... you know... Invincible?
>>289417785>>289417821>I think it makes sense because BLABLABLABLAHave you considered they simply have STRONG NEN??Nen is not a conceptual magical system. It's channeled life energy (aura), and the Ants simply have MORE of it.Nature is hierarchical.
>>289417785>Every ant is a GENIUS compared to the average nen-shitter,That's not true at all. Only Meruem and the RGs
zeno the chad truly the goat with his 300m en
>>289417926>That's not true at all. Only Meruem and the RGsLeol as a moron has an ability on the same level as Chrollo (Genius-level Specialist), or arguably better.Do you have any idea of how many characters are dying helplessly in this scenario?
>>289417924Nigga read and don't @ me if you're gonna repeat what I said.
>>289417926How did you manage to speedread an arc that came out decades ago?
>>289418013Damn Morel farmed tons of exp on that arc.
>>289417866>Nen has been exclusively related to humans so far, with the exception of Nanika/AiWrong.
>>289417926Non-initiated ants were killing nen-using hunters like Pokkle or Ponzu.Take any leader and they're going to fucking flatten any mafia beast or mid-ass hunter.
>>289417464I don't like to use the word "boring" as criticism but fuck me, again with fucking Woble being a male? I get it, move the fuck on.How the fuck did he think it was a good idea spending so many pages on the maid rather than on Ben assessing what happened to him? this is bad
>>289418086Shit, I kneel. I forgot about Youpi.
>>289416638>NobugodYou meant ZenoGOD? 300m en vs 4m enlet
>>289418086Why is he still human looking then? I wonder what the nip text says.
>>289418190zeno is so far above the princes and their guards it's not even funny
>>289414867>>289416481>luv me martial law>luv me knoife>luv me Benjamin>'ate being investigated>'ate thinking>'ate Luzurus (not racis just dont like 'im)Proper Kakin FC lad
>>289418089Not only that.Some non initiated ants were able to perceive nen, showing a natural awakening of sorts.
>>289418190>>289418262I wonder what would happen if Netero hired Zeno faster, and they came to NGL before the King hatched. Would Zeno touch Pitou's En just to test it? Or would they retreat despite there's a chance that Netero + Zeno could win against Pitou right then and there.
What if nen is a calamity?
>>289418394Zeno would do what he's paid to do, so if Netero said "go time" he would.Netero was a dumb fightfag asshole who was more than OK twiddling his big toes up his asshole to get to peak just for a good fight, he's directly to blame for basically everything in CA.He COULD have gone in right after Pitou was born and killed everything, likely with only moderate trouble even unpeaked.
>>289418394Zeno doesn't risk his life without pay.If there is a good pay he is willing to risk his life / sacrifice himself to complete the job.My guess that he wouldn't take the job in the first place if he knew about the ants, except for a ridiculous large sum, and he is willing to push it into the confrontation to keep his assassin family honor.
>>289417902If you manipulate air you could charge it up into an explosion or make it bigger or smaller depending. An emission blast doesn't need to have anything to do with air while air blow shows some sort of affinity and specialization. Basically you could attack someone without harming them (to ensure capture of the enemy). Maybe manipulation/emission for air blow is more likely
>>289418394With Morel and Knov still around to provide support? They'd have successfully killed the Queen and Meruem wouldn't have been born.
>>289417464Cool ass manipulation ability. This one, Silent Majority, Shikaku's cards, all very good manipulation abilities. Manipulators eating good this arc.
>>289418501I think whatever's going on with Kaiser being the mother of all manipulation abilities. Full on personality change, no ability to detect lies because there aren't none (the target fully believes the lies, the target acts independently while still fulfilling prime directives).
>world ending calamity>lets send like 5 huntersChimera ants is funny
>>289418590>world ending calamity>stopped by a single cheap pocket version dirty bomb
>>289418590what? Chimera ants weren't a calamity, they were a b tier job.
>>289418118>>289418244It's not just Youpi. Youpi is probably part Kiriko, and Nen is the only sensible explanation behind their transformations.Furthermore, there are also the Greed Island creatures. Were they all Conjured Nen beasts, or were they Magical Beasts Ging and his friends brought to the island?Probably the former, but it's worth wondering.
>>289418560Kaiser most likely had his memories wiped by a manipulator.
>>289418617Chimeras had the potential to be a world threat.They dropped the ball by larping in a meme castle instead of going full illuminati.If Meruem and the Royal Guards playing illuminati/freemasons with secret societies of chimera ants breeding out of control, then no amount of missiles and atomic bombs would save us.But he wanted to larp king of the world and make himself an easy target.
>>289418590I thought the whole point was that they weren't actually that big of a deal, since the apex of their entire species can just get btfo by a dollar tree nuke
>>289418590Chimera Ants were never a threat to humanity. If they were, the V5 would have launched WMDs at that shithole of an island.
>>289417731I'm pretty sure the last two letters are "chingu", my guess is it's something chingu i.e. king something>>289417464>>28941747989 - This child would be the one to receive the curse?! Is that even possible?!90 - Yes.91 - In fact, soon after I entered this residential area, I felt something like a strong wave of nen near the prince.92 - I had my back turned, and it was only for a moment... I had no way of finding out what it was.93 - There is also the possibility of it being the nen of the still unknown assassin... or perhaps of someone from the first prince's private army.94 - Just what are the conditions for the activation of the curse?95 - I've got no choice but to check this with Beyond himself.96 - I might be able to squeeze his ability out of him with my chain and learn how it works,97 - but the conditions for the activation of the curse must be very high... I will die should I fail to activate it.98 - That would be suicide. From a practical standpoint, negotiating with Beyond is the better option.99 - However, the Kakin judiciary would never allow him to walk free and Beyond himself doesn't want to be freed.100 - It's in both parties' mutual interest for him to not do anything until the dark continent is reached.101 - Indeed.102 - It's doubtful he'll even admit that he created the curse to begin with.
>>289418663my theory is that some magical beasts are conjured nen beasts who continued to exist through post mortem nen.
>>289418668Can't do it with just a mind wipe. You gotta build him up with several mind wipes in between to be a whole different person. Most likely the guy is actually a double agent on the inside but is using manipulation on himself to present as more friendly.
Most problems can be solved with nukes if you go by that logic
>>289418716103 - ... Kurapika.104 - One other thing. I think you've already realized this,105 - but there is one way.105.1 - What if the Hunter Association105.2 - granted Beyond amnesty?106 - Free from Hunter Association's restraint, he would take the bait.107 - Out of the question.108 - Chairman Netero's last order was clear. It's not happening.109 - It pertained to him bringing back any solutions to the DC's calamities, no?110 - If ???? (I can't recognize the kanji because of the low resolution) well, it would be a win-win for both parties. 111 - Nope. The association has a contract with the V5.112 - We obviously can't involve the entire Hunter Association.113 - First, let us assume that Beyond is trying to achieve his ambitions by sacrificing his own biological son as a pawn.114 - There is no reason for him to talk about the curse. If he does, there is a high probability that it's a trap.115 - That's why we'll set a trap in return!116 - Couldn't we make it work if we use that woman's ability effectively?117 - Beyond's contract had a clause regarding abilities slipped in. We could come up with something good by making use of the penalty for breaking the contract...118 - Bill... you're supposed to be one of Beyond's guys, right?119 - Why are you going this far...?120 - ... good grief.121 - Thank god you're not on Beyond's side.
>>289418716>91 - In fact, soon after I entered this residential area, I felt something like a strong wave of nen near the prince.92 - I had my back turned, and it was only for a moment... I had no way of finding out what it was.93 - There is also the possibility of it being the nen of the still unknown assassin... or perhaps of someone from the first prince's private army.Finally being mentioned.
>>289418723Maybe some beasts.Other beasts are probably animals similar to the chimera that have some natural nen ability.Also Togashi could go full Shinsekai Yori. The magical beasts are created by humanity subconscious dormant nen ability. Our collective fears and nightmares are projected outwards, mutating natural lifeforms and producing all sort of abominations outside of civilization.
>>289418732Whatever mind wipe ability we come across will most likely need consent from the target. I'm still convinced that there's another traitor in the zodiacs who underwent a mind wipe.
>>289418086Is shapeshifting always nen in the first place. We know nen can facilitate it but the world of hxh has monsters and stuff as racial traits. Even the mutant ant queen had an assimilation quality that touched om things like soul forging without any indication of nen. Its entirely possible magical creatures can change form without needing to invoke nen. It would explain racial traits like Kiriko shifting, the Ai and other calamities, or even that mimic monkey.

>>289416760Besides what can Gon do on the ship without nen? He might be the weakest hunter now.
>>289418742i honestly forgot bill was Beyond's guyhe's supposed to be a provisional hunter under Pariston, right?
>>289418106Brainlet, Togashi isn't rushing the story he wants to tell.
>>289419012Yeah, he and Sayird. Unfortunately for Sayird, he unknowingly activated the conditions for Momoze's Nen Beast and was arrested for murder.
>>289418590>let's send our strongest nen user>backed up by our strongest assassin>backed up by a nuke if anything goes wrong
is there any other translations available? translator anon is a chad but he is taking his time...
>>289418778>Tiger is a genius, the mindwipe fucked up his head.
>>289419332My money is actually on Mizaistorm being mind wiped. The moral compass of zodiacs being a secret traitor feels like it's something Togashi would write.

>>289418797There's no reasonable biological explanation for what Kiriko do.>the Ai and other calamitiesBut we know for a fact Ai uses Nen.It's all channeled life energy.

>>289419576honestly I just got bored and used chatgpt to translate the remaining pagesbill and pika discuss about using beyond. Bill says that after all the horrible things he heard of him he no longer alings hismelf with him and that anyways beyond is like a child when it comes to challenges and games so he probably won't help them. they then continue to discuss that there are two possibilities to deal with the beyond curse. 1.the real wobble is on the ship and they can find him and protect him directly.2.the real wobble is outside the ship and they have no way to protect him without help of the hunter association. Kuraapika then comfronts Oito again, because if she really doesn't know anything about where the real wobble is option 2 would be almost impossible. Oito doesn't want to answer, since she can't really trust the hunter association and pika agrees, but she finally informs him of a way to contact with oito's family after pika tells there that even if the whole association cant be trusted he has friends he trust more than himself (gon and killua)
>>289420039>You're into border securityLMAO
>>289420093our HEROES
>>289420002BEAST
>>289418742how exactly would bill and kurapika uses longhi's existing contract to their advantage in getting beyond to confess? i don't understand this at all.
>>289419330Sorry, my knowledge of kanji is really lacking.As far as I know, VoraciousDrake is the only other person doing these translations, but he still hasn't posted anything yet.>>289418716>>289418742122 - I've still got enough of a sense of duty and XXX (can't read the kanji) to not work under Beyond123 - after hearing what he has done and plans on doing!124 - Well, you're certainly the type of guy who follows through once you decide on something. There are plenty of evil people who are like that, actually.125 - Don't worry. I don't want to tag along with you after this job is done.126 - Those weren't exactly words of praise...127 - My goal has changed and I am now entirely dedicated to protecting the queen and the prince!128 - It goes without saying that I will prioritize them, but... if possible, I would like to make the succession war stop.129 - About the limitations of the succession war... I think the Hunter Association will be on board with our goal. As a member of the association, I don't want people killing one another.130 - The ones afraid of the war collapsing through its limitations and of losing the protection of the guardian spirit beasts are the current king and those are aiming to succeed him... those being just Beyond and the older princes.131 - I believe that the Hunter Association could unite and neutralize Beyond's curse, weaken the kakin monarchy and place the good princes at the center of a new system.132 - Saving the princes who have become the hostages of the curse is a just cause, and one which V5 would approve.133 - Beyond's release doesn't have to be permanent. Just arrest him because of some different matter.134 - Right now, the top priority is to do something about the curse, right?
I really wanna see Kurapika and Beyond talk eventually
>>289420093>honestly I just got bored and used chatgpt to translate the remaining pagesGrok is 100 times better when it comes to translation. It's actually incredible how good it is.
>>289420326135 - I know about Beyond more than you, so please take my advice.136 - The guy's a talented and confident "child"* that enjoys a battle of wits, so he'll accept a challenge. He wouldn't refuse a game of tag either.*He probably means that he is immature.137 - The curse is at the heart of his plan as well, which is exactly why he will talk about it! He wants to, rather! After all, he is boastful... and that confidence is a dangerous thing backed up by meticulous planning.138 - That's precisely why the hunter association has to unite and stop him!139 - Um...140 - You still haven't mentioned the second important issue...141 - Ah!142 - My deepest apologies!143 - It is the fact that my queen herself doesn't know where the fourteenth prince is.144 - I don't know what kind of arrangement you made during the child swap, though.145 - You considered that it would be better for the prince's safety if you didn't know where he went, yes?146 - That's right.147 - Meaning... that I have no idea where he is right now..148 - Meaning... that he could be on the black whale.149 - Ah.150 - Surely that cannot be the case!151 - How would you prove that to the military?152 - At the very least, the first prince's faction must not have thrown away that possibility.153 - They're probably conducting their own search.
>>289420326no need to say sorry anon, honestly it's very impressive if you are doing this without knowing much kanji. HxH is not an easy series to translate.
>>289419707>There's no reasonable biologicalI could say the same for a giant fox person. The animal itself is already not realistic so why assume their biology only has weird properties due to nen? We have creatures made of gas and rice that makes you live forever. Not to mention pebbles that can power cities. >But we know for a fact Ai uses Nen.No, we assume because Alluka has a nen type and people felt this moment. But I maintain that even for specialization, Animal exceeds any function of nen we have seen. The Dark Continent is foreign and vaster in scale to the human world. It stands to reason this applies to powers and abilities. Life force might be a currency to some, but it very much looks like a different ruleset.
>>289417038>420>Luzurusheh
>Gon is straightHow do we recover from this?
>>289420326Pika and Bill breaking up
>>289419707Note Meleoron flipping out.The guy who's been in contact with Meruem.
>>289420326You gonna check that with the chain Kurapika?
>>289417038>>289420436Oh, he's for sure going to die in the chapter.
>>289420493>he forgot about bislutsnot very woke of you anon...
>>289420493That's been obvious since he said he slayed cougar pussy
>>289420002
>>289420493If your first thought isn't correction, you aren't very manly or greek or persian or turkish or russian or chinese or japanese I'd wager.
>>289420649So this is why he hates Killua…
>>289420493We all knew gon was straight. It's killua who likes to play in the dirt
>randomly brings Gon and Killua back only to btfo the fujos
Is this shit real? Why is no one talking about it in here
>>289420649Killua then went off to find the closest thing to a girl he knows. That'll show him...

>>289420326Damn, finally a suspicious act from Bill. Trust no one, Mulderpika.
>>289420826
>>289420493That just means he tops.
>>289420875The V5 and the HA probably wouldn't mind it. They got strong armed into this whole deal in the first place
>>289420854We still haven't seen his nen ability by the way. Place your bets on his nen category and gimmick
>>289417464I liked the first 8 pages of the chapter but I'm feeling sick as soon as it shows Oito
Sisters, what the fuck is this?
>>289420928>dialogue starts talking about a diaper immediatelygod fucking damnit
>>289415925In your mom's bedroom
>>289420919He's probably just an enhancer that either gets stronger by killing people, or he focuses on enhancing sharp weapons.
>>289417464>62 - Chiyamashi's ability - "The King of the ?" (can't read the kanji nor the furigana because of the low-res scans)> Manipulative semi-coercive type> As long as you continue to touch a person for a fixed amount of time, both of you are invincible.>63 - After that time ends, he enters a state of forced zetsu that lasts 100 times longer than invincibility time. Furthermore, after the state of forced zetsu ends, you will receive 1/3rd of the total damage that was negated during invicibility time.>64 - However, the ability cannot prevent damage from cooperative attacks by multiple capable nen users.This is the Zushifags 9/11.
>>289420821You're late bro >>289408102
>>289416481>>289416492It wouldn't be a hunter x hunter chapter without an entire page explaining a brand new character's nen ability
>>289417464>Manipulators can manipulate damageVery interesting.
>>289421010this shit is so nicefinally feels like hxh
>>289420936I wouldn't be even mad if this is the last time we see those two. Gon looks happy, enjoying himself and nature, plus with the girl hinting a happy marriage in the future. It's s good ending for our boy.
>>289420361except for korean where it decided that "tomodachi life" translates to "stepmother porn"
We won. We fucking won.
>>289420854>Man this shit takes me back to them golden days when me and Vincent used to kill niggas and rape bitches back in Kakin. https://youtu.be/99C23Y8l5hU?si=4_Z_ihw2RAD-angW
>>289420987So does a single unguarded gunshot to the head still kill you at 1/3rd damage output when the ability winds down?
>>289420821>>289420936they look older than I thought
>>289421102..the neless normie award and aimlessly walking through towns trophy
>>289418442Probably.This arc is showing how out of control nen gets when too many people try to game the system by deliberately abusing curses and post-mortem nen.I wouldn't be surprised if this is all leading to some massive blowback where a nen resonance cascade instigated by the urn ritual causes widespread devastation in Kakin, ultimately forcing a reformed hunter association to massively triple down on nen secrecy and restricted use.
>>289420821I think getting reset by Alluka also took away all of Gon's muscle, he looks scrawny
>>289421024Hatsu: half of all damage taken is reflected back to the opponent
>>289420987It's not just the 9/11 for zushifags, it's also a TRVTH NVKE for invinciblefags.
>>289420821(also normally I'd only come into these threads once I have proper scans but I was curious to see if there were good raws I could slowly read with my N7 nipponese and got spoiled while looking, can't go back after seeing the boys)
>>289415693There's a real possibility he will. Benjamin in 410 isn't thinking about how shit went wrong rounding up all the princes. Kanjidol is getting packed up by Ridge or Basho since Luzurus gets a confirmed escape from tier 1, but I doubt Marayam is one of the princes Ben is missing.
>>289420821Probably because this page is done in a really vague way and doesn't really guarantee they'll do anything this arc, maybe some offscreen babysitting
>>289415693How psychotic is this guy? Looks like he can barely hold off from murdering little children
>>289420919Probably an emitter or enhancer with a more straightforward killing power. Vincent was also seemingly a straight shooter and equally unhinged.
>>289421212He might be one of the missing younger princes he says aren't the priority
Does anything important happen in the last half of the chapter? It just looks like a bunch of Kurapika talking to his queen/guards but is anything important mentioned?Oito and baby x baby have made me numb
>>289420936I'm glad Gon is showing his future wife around all his favorite spots
>>289420326>hunters are now aiming for toppling kakin's government and installing a puppet regime Mission creep is a beast or they're just fucking retarded. Netero would never stand for idiocy like this. Bless his old man heart. Man was solely a fightfag and that's what made him pure. These 'hunters' are fucking idiots
>>289420936>Gon is still on whale island (we already knew this)>Killua is aimlessly walking around in towns with his sister (we knew this)Can you really say they're back?
>>289421446thats just bill and beyond's crackpot plan. it isn't guaranteed to happen
>>289421409Nope nothing happens in this chapter or the rest of the arc u should just drop the series and get vaccinated
>>289421446Whole organization is in shambles... Hunters are just patsies for the globalists
>>289417524I mean, we're talking of people who are meant to be guards/supports of some VP dude, it's not far fetched that their abilities would be more geared toward hax support than jack of all trades individualistic types.
I've really got to take a break and eat dinner. I'll be back a bit later to finish the translation.>>289420414Thanks, but japanese is over 50% grammar and context, if you have that down then you'll be able to understand the language (it will take a lot of time if you're checking up almost every kanji, though).>>289420326>>28942036514-15154 - Most of the kanji in this bubble are very blurry so I can't translate the entire sentence, but Bill is saying "something something you should cross-check the ID cards with official records."155 - Yes.156 - I've had Pyon check passengers under two years of age,157 - but nothing came up, which would mean that the person in question doesn't exist according to official records.158 - Conduct another search using a higher age threshold. There may be a false identity involved.159 - The search came up empty... in other words,160 - this is proof that she's not participating in the succession war, right...?161 - No.162 - That doesn't remove all doubts.163 - No...164 - Kurapika! Don't be so blunt.165 - There's no point in hiding it. Being suspected is convenient, actually.166 - Huh?167 - Since the baby swap had been arranged beforehand, the military assumes that the plan will put them at the greatest disadvantage possible. In which case, it would be that "the fourteenth prince still has the right to participate in the succession war and is somewhere on this ship".
>>289421552>Hunters are just patsies for the globalistsThought that was established during CA
>>289421611thank you for your work!
>>289418590>please fill out this 15000 page form if you want to help fight the ants>oops, sorry, we're no longer taking applicants
>>289421532Last chapter got my hopes up a little bit since it felt like stuff was happening but in this chapter they switched back to Kurapika PoV and the conversation immediately starts off by talking about poopy diapers
>>289421611168 - It will continue to be part of the strategic plan until it can be ruled out entirely.169 - The best we can hope for in terms of "ruled out entirely" is that 1. the organizers will officially declare that the fourteenth prince is not participating170 - 2. it is proven that the fourteenth prince is outside the ship... not finding him on the ship does not prove that he is outside the ship.171 - In the case of 2, it must also be proven that all those who leave the ship during the succession war will lose the right to participate in the same.172 - To gain the right to participate in the succession war, you must first participate in the ceremony...! "It was my sister's son who participated in the ceremony on the ship" is something that's very difficult to prove. In which case, it must also be suspected that the real prince took part in the ceremony, was switched with the sister's son afterwards and somehow escaped from the ship.173 - Since the suspicion cannot be dismissed, the higher-ranking princes are assuming that the fourteenth prince is on the ship.174 - Even if she was found outside the ship, they would have to prove that "a prince who has the right to participate in the succession war loses that right if he leaves the ship".175 - Meaning...176 - Until the daughter is found, it won't be acknowledged that she isn't participating in the succession war and no one will be blamed?177 - Precisely.178 - The fourteenth prince will be not be cleared of suspicion until found by one of the more proactive older princes. That's why we have to search for her.179 - Also, in order to become the only survivor, they need to clear up whether or not the fourteenth prince has the right to participate in the succession war..!>>289421623And thank you for reading.
>>289421611At your first line I was going to say I thought this interlude was the break, but fair enough that is a Rihan-tier page.

Benny's nen god plan is going to be cucked by a missing baby...
>>289421477Bill is a hunter
>>289414867How come they allow the british into the Kakin military?
>>289421477>>289421552>>289421743Melody is also a hunter and similarly on board with Beyond/Globalist/Justice Bureau faggotry. Glory to Kakin. Hunters should stay out of internal affairs. That's their vocation.
>>289421640Kurapika is death for pacing. This guy can talk about ages on minutiae while the world burns Is wobble's being or not being on board really relevant when Benjamin is attempting to win the entire war outright at the same time ?
>>289421612Its one thing to act as an independent contractor and only work jobs. Its quite another to butt in and shape governments themselves through force Kakin being ultra independent through nen force is a thorn in the side to many players. Its obvious beyond doesn't want a strong, independent Kakin King because that king would probably eclipse or at least become on par with l beyond in strength and will.
>>289421797Well, yes, Ben's plan is completely in shambles if Woble is not on board. There is no way that situation gets resolved before he dies.
I bet this arc will be crazy interesting to read when its finished, but weekly talking of shit i dont remember from three years ago makes me feel like ripping my hair out. I want literally anything to happen, anything at all but words words words words.
>>289421248benis :DDD
>>289421924kek
>>289421924about to unload on bisky
>>289421797Benjamin needs to emergency speed dial the mainland to have the real Woble killed or he can't win. It's a disaster for him and he has no time to resolve that kind of shit. Next six chapters could be him going door-to-door blowing the other princes away with his stupid looking shotgun and he'd still lose to Woble.
>>289420493Would Killua transitioning fix the situation? or make it worse?
>>289422016Benny doing Lord's work for Woble
>>289422016The timing is very weird, if Bens trying to win this thing in less than a day there's like no fugging way Kurapika is getting a message to Killua and giving Killua enough time to travel to Kakin and find the real Woble unless some arc ruining absurb asspu- oh wait
Oops, while Kurapika and Oito were busy yapping, Babymania just walked in and snapped the baby's neck
>>289422179...ok? off to the justice bureau for killing some random baby that wasn't even the prince. Great use of manpower, Benny boy.

Hahahaha, look at the people who are against the idea that “Nen isn’t absolute,” while Togashi throws in a MANIPULATOR that can MAKE you invincible AS LONG AS IT’S TOUCHING YOU Izunavi: You can’t make a sword that cuts through everything. But you can let your friend touch your penis and make you invisible.It’s becoming increasingly clear that Izunavi has no idea about Nen or deliberately told Kurapica nothing but lies, which is why Kurapica abandoned him like the dog he because he realized he was a scam.

The dildo would only be visible to me, and it would only be able to teleport inside of people's asshole to rape them. It would never be able to harm or kill anyone, it would simply be an ability that would distract people while we're fighting.

Would you listen to boomer rock with Morel? Is there anything you'd introduce him to?
Remind me, what actually killed Woody by drinking his blood - was it Silent Majority? I remember thinking it was Woble's nen beast in defence mode, until it clearly wasn't.
>>289423318name his band
>>289421642>172 - To gain the right to participate in the succession war, you must first participate in the ceremony...! "It was my sister's son who participated in the ceremony on the ship" is something that's very difficult to prove. In which case, it must also be suspected that the real prince took part in the ceremony, was switched with the sister's son afterwards and somehow escaped from the ship.Wait wasnt the urn ceremony not on the ship? So there was another one before it started on the ship that hasnt been shown?
And I'm back. Let's wrap this up.>>289421645There were a lot of those in this chapter.>>289421611>>289421642Correction for 158, it should be "I'll have her conduct another search. There may be a false identity involved."180 - This means that as long as the fourteenth prince is not on this ship... she is invincible...!181 - The high-ranking princes cannot find the fourteenth prince or determine whether he has the right to participate in the succession war...!182 - Given the gray area situation, she will inevitably be considered a low-priority target for elimination.183 - But... if she is the target of Beyond's curse184 - and is currently outside the ship in a location we don't know... we have no way to take countermeasures...!185 - ... yes.186 - We have two solutions!187 - The first is to find out about the specifics of Beyond's curse! That way we'd know whether the fourteenth prince is subject to it or not!188 - If she is being targeted by the curse,189 - we must urgently identify Beyond's biological children, the curse sacrifices, and remove their curse.190 - The second solution is to find out the whereabouts of the fourteenth prince!191 - In the context of the succession war, she is invincible if outside of the ship. However, it's the exact opposite when it comes to the curse.192 - Assuming that she is being targeted, we have to find her as soon as possible and seek guidance from a highly capable nen exorcist.

>>289420493Gon got cougar'd, he's immune to gay forever
>>289422515This but unironically. He'd still get to draw, and with more time to focus on high-effort, detailed art while skipping the filler, and the story would come out faster.
>>289423370>highly capable nen exorcist.Is there anyone? Besides the one with CammySurely it's not going to be fucking Alluka
>>289421869>>289422016This is irrelevant shit because you can show woble is not there when Benjamin finds out. Right now the wind is taken out of the sails from a dramatic standpoint if it is made clear Benjamin has zero win con at all. What's the point? Why even show Benjamin trying and failing with this shit if you can't even do the bare minimum to make it exciting? Not only undercutting the fighting and juking but also with talking but ALSO making it abundantly clear that the baby swap somehow invalidates the entire succession while its still ongoing, hence making every struggle and battle we see from this point onward meaningless
>>289423370>highly capable nen exorcistIt's time.
>>289423267>muh Togashi a shitlol
>>289423370Is it even possible for Beyond's curse to affect Woble?Logic dictates that such a powerful curse would have to be placed in a person who is born roughly at the same time as the Prince it targets. Or can Beyond just change targets at will? That would sound too op.
>>289423370>>289423422>nen exorcistare you ready?
>>289423452Holy shit, I'd kneel
>>289423047Pouf would immediately get to work developing his own AAA title
>>289423452how would tardrio be a nen exorcist
The whole sucession war being invalidated because Woble isnt on the boat sounds so lame
>>289423127>holy shit i'm invincible!!>enter the room and get jumped by nen users in a coordinated attack>both of you die
>>289423501I'd imagine that an emission based exorcist would absorb the curse similar to how Meruem ate nen users to gain their powers.
>>289423437>>289423317Rants from a guy who’s never had sexThe other guy who posts a meme thinking it validates his argument because his poor brain can’t get his neurons to fire even though I’ve never even mentioned One Piece, but he thinks an image will let him win.Keep dancing, my little monkeys.
>>289418455On that note, it makes no sense for Zeno to even risk his life on a dangerous job like that. He can earn far more money investing the money he got over the years than whatever the fuck involves getting brutally molested by a nen user.Sure he is strong, but any argument of him doing whatever as long as he's paid when he's already rich as FUCK makes literally no sense.
>>289423370>195 - mhmmm I know these two 12 year olds, let me ask them to go to another country and search for a baby with no leads>197 - no they’re good for it I swear

>>289423417The baby swap doesn't invalidate the contest as kurapika spelled out. But it's a complicated matter that won't be resolved in a day.Only a dimwitted person would believe in Ben's chances anyway as even Nasubi himself spelled out that patience is the key to winning.
>>289423696What if you are too patient to win

RIP to the Benjamin solder who has to deal with Bisky
>>289423812Ben soldiers have been told not to attack hunters, speedreader
The whole war of succession could potentially go to hell just because a mother desperate for a DICK decided to swap her daughter for her bitch of a sister’s daughter at the slightest hint that her daughter might be a Metallica fan.
>>289423696You didn't respond to the actual argument I made, which is that these kurapika side stories invalidate the entire dramatic crux of the Benjamin Martial Law gambit. Like you personally can feel that yeah, his chances are probably small. But that doesn't invalidate the story's potential to *sell* his chances and make things exciting by doing so. Togashi here has completely deflated the martial law turn. Completely hollow. Confrontation with Tse, Camilla, any of the other princes? Irrelevant. Shouldn't even be shown on the page. Just have another 2-3 chapters of kurapika talking heads. That is what's valuable, correct?
>>289423832That’s not a 2 way street tho, I highly doubt Bisky would let one of the guards come in and just start murdering people.Dude probably won’t even get killed, Bisky + Hanzo they’ll probably capture them and acquire all their intel
>>289416481>>289417464>Sending 2 guards to Halk's empty room>Guard pops an ability with a gigantic cooldown before they're even in the roomWhat's the point of this? Halk obviously isn't there and his supporters are all on the lower decks. They might smoke a random holdover Halkenbro I guess but I don't know who the fuck they're expecting to nail here. These guys should be backing up the other guards who actually have live targets on their hands. Terrible tactical management.

>>289422444>Luzurus reminds me of someone...
>>289423577This isn’t even a mild problem for Gon and Killua, the hardest part for them will be taking care of a baby (like the gay couple they are)
>>289423567Yeah but the fight against Chrollo show that even if "its about the money" is not really "about the money".Is more about the "honor" of the assassins family.They have a reputation to uphold, if they accepted a job they are going to do anything in their power to complete it.

>>289423832Yes, that's why Vergel trained by Bisky, will stop that soldier.
>>289423832Do you think she's just gonna sit by and let him kill Vergei? Even if they're sleeping Bisky would wake up the instant he made a move, not mention Hanzo is there too
>>289423887kek exactly what I was hoping for
>>289423877>take 30 seconds to safely sweep a room>if no hostiles you got another pop in 50 minutes
>>289423912
>>289423902Killua tells Nanika, “Grant this wish: Tell me where it is/teleport me there,” or whatever nonsense comes to mind, and the matter is settled.
>>289423936Will Marayam's guards fold or will they rebel and make themselves enemies of the state? Will the hunters actually overtly enter the succession struggle? There's numerous gains to be made from confronting them right now. Biscuit would be making a big mistake in pasting a smart Benjamin guard who doesn't fuck up
>>289423902It would piss everyone off but it would be so funny if they just popped in like in YorkNew.
>>289414867Bro sounds like a typical benjiposter in these threads.
so this whole batch will be wasted on a gon and killua filler sub-arc?
>>289424004>>289423664I’m sure they would be some condition or circumstance Togashi would come up with on why they wouldn’t do this. Like if she’s dead Alluka would die trying to get her, you need a physical piece of the person like hair something stupid like that.
>>289423843The drama isn't whether he succeeds but in how many he manages to take down with him in his failed gambit
>>289424059No, the whole batch was wasted with Kurapika's yapping and useless Nen classes.
>>289418089It's because of Nen + their advantages as Chimera Ant, not because they are talented. Rammot didn't die to Gon and Killua at first even though he had no Nen. Eating humans with Nen also helped.
>>289423441I'm like 99% sure the one that has the curse is the other baby
>cleopatro >unidentifiable prophetic political power house babby Bros… are we about to get biblical in this bitch?
>>289423511yea babyswap x babyswap is not very captivating, I know the arc can still bounce back but as far as batch-starter chapter goes these 4 chapters have only had a few things to be excited aboutMy apathy towards Oito grows stronger every time her bullshit eats up a chapter
>>289424097The command / wisher probably needs some sort of mental context to who Woble is for Nanika to work properly. She might just like… create a baby named Woble if Killua blindly commands.
>>289424237Yea exactly, I don’t really think we will see them this arc but I would be hype.There’s so much charm in the sections of YorkNew where they are all together, to get that one more time would bring me great pleasure
>>289424230>yea babyswap x babyswap is not very captivatingBabyswap on a vacuum is captivating. The problem is how page and chapter wasteful everything related to Kurapika is this arc.The first panel he shows up, you can say goodbye to the chapter you're reading.

>>289424111>what's interesting isn't whether Genthru clears greed island or not (he is literally unable to clear it no matter what)>what's interesting is not whether nobunaga is able to stop Killua or Gon or not (he is literally unable to stop them and he doesn't know and will never know)>What's interesting isn't if Leol can win against Morel or not (literally incapable and is physically unable to win) Imagine if togashi just broke the action in all these arcs and just explained to the reader that this mid-arc bully character is unable to accomplish his goals through hook or crook and that no matter what they do they'll never be able to win? Would that had been better? Make sure to waste a lot of the reader's time on these explanations, killing the action real good so they really get the message. Don't have any hopes for action or anything exciting going on. Lmao what a retard expecting excitement and kinetic action in manga.
Nothing suggests that the contest is invalidated. It's merely a matter of finding out whether Woble is on the boat or not.The only person fucked by this is Benjamin because he doesn't have enough time to find Woble
Guys remember when we spent 4 chapters in a card game so Borky could officially join Morena's gangThat will surely be relevant in the overall plot
>>289424317get some goat blood nibba your sown seed about to be subdued
>>289424283This is all the introduction Morena needed. Those card game chapters were a waste of time. We instantly know what she's about and her outlook from just a splash page and her dead, soulless eyes. Fuck having to know the specifics of her idiotic birth circumstance. I don't care.
>>289424283>get raped>the world is too blame
>>289424389The entirety of martial law was just deflated in a dramatic sense. Benjamin now cannot win. It is physically impossible to him. Great job undercutting all that buildup and setup you did huhWe simply should not get excited for the coming chapters. That is the core message of this chapter. No other author is as obsessed and addicted to punching the audience in the balls as togashi at this point. It's endemic to the manga. It's what you will get if you feel any sort of excitement to what will happen next. You'll get punched in the nuts.
>>289424462It is

>>289424277I was going to mention the same old problem of "Chapters like these wouldn't be so bad if HxH released more than 10 chapters every 2 years" but yeah..The sympathy Oito starts with the beginning of the arc has turned into nothing but frustration and I could not stomach trying to read page 9 to 20 right now. Just hoping the batch improves, might be in a better mood for reading these types of chapters once the full batch is out
>>289424425holy retard
>>289424327I miss niggastream so much it's unreal
Why THE FUCK does Killua not order Nanika to give Kurapika the eyes? Is he evil?

>>289424372that's from 2018 I think
>>289424230I've grown distasteful for Oito ever since this batch's revelation. Not that I don't understand the motherly need to protect your child, but it's really unfair to her nephew who is directly in the line of fire.>maybe the sister/family volunteered himsociopathic cult behavior>maybe she made a queenly order for them to do itsee above>what about what she's been saying in 411-412 about hoping to come clean later on and beg for forgivenessprobably the scenario most likely to get Woble (male) killed as a retaliatory measureFor all the text spent on OG Woble and curse prevention/redirection, I wish we could get a line from Bill or someone about how fucked up the way Oito handled this is. I feel a lot for cousin-Woble, his fate has been toyed with as much as the actual younger princes.
>>289423936Why would she give a shit about Vergay
>>289424505Irrelevant quibble. Go ahead and explain to me how Killua and Gon escaping from Nobunaga would be better if Kurapika explained in two chapters beforehand that it was impossible for Nobunaga to catch them, showing through diagrams and the tactics they would use how little risk they actually faced. Then we got the actual chapters. What terror. How will they get out this time?
>>289424558Can Killua ask for "evil stuff" even? Even if he can order with no penalty I'm not sure he has ever asked for something so selfish and that can carry so many deaths as a consequence.
>>289424425I'll take the cardgame over OitoPika babybabble
>>289424378We literally know that certain Troupe members are bound to get fucked up by Kurapika if they face him in Yorknew City but that doesn't make the arc any less dramatic.There are plenty of things that can happen with Benjamin that are interesting which don't require him to bullrush the contest (of patience) in 16 hours and win.He may even end up living on past the time limit, we can't know.Only a fool is fixated on him winning or not. The story is written for adults who can predict that he's not just going to end the arc with all these plotlines left hanging, so the intrigue of the martial law phase resides not so much in him "winning" but rather the amount of damage caused, the impact on other plotlines, and the outcome of his inevitable failure. Does he still become some sort of "nen deity", or will he survive and inherit all his men's skills to become all powerful? Again, we don't know. That's what the mindful readers are looking forward to.
Cammybros status?
>>289424327>378 (36 chapters ago)8 years.
>>289424283>Niggastream was still alive when this arc was ongoing
>>289424579why would she just let the royal guard walk in and merc people on her side without a fight/escaping into the Marayam dimension? not everyone is as unfeeling or stupid as you
>>289424575I find it appropriate, Oito is shrewd and VERY paranoid about survival. She's literally the bottom rung of the totem pole, and didn't know who to trust. It's part of what kept her alive this long, and her remorse and trust in Kurapika is giving her more information and tools by which to survive. She likely realized that she was caught in a lie and couldn't escape it without breaking Kurapika's trust in her, losing her biggest source of defense, and so just kept lying until he caught her and shame washed over her.
>>289424593Functionally the same type of chapter. Irrelevant dogshit that slows the story down to a crawl. Togashi spinning his wheels, refusing to commit to anything substantial, constantly deflating any sort of excitement. Could not even make the card game dramatically vigorous or fun to read. Falls flat as a game, falls flat as characterization (we already got the gist, don't need specifics as less = more)

>>289424542We didn't know how good we had it
>>289424575Kurapika threw like 10 years of his life into the trash for this bitch
>>289424468Martial Law has been Benjamin flailing to death since he got poisoned last batch. Nothing about that has changed. He is fucked and has been fucked for some time now.
>>289423370193 - There is one fundamental problem with the "breaking the curse" approach and since the two ways to solve this are so different I've split the issue into two parts.194 - We can either cut off the source of the curse or remove the curse from the target.195 - We do not have neither enough manpower nor time to pursue both objectives simultaneously.196 - Therefore, I think we should try to solve the first issue.197 - That way we'd also be meeting our contractual obligations with Longhi.198 - However, we also have to account for the worst-case scenario if we are to prevent it.199 - In order to solve the second issue, we have to assume that the fourteenth prince is being targeted by the curse. That is why I want to ask the Hunter Association to search for her so that we may attempt the exorcism.200 - Okay...201 - Let me confirm one more thing.202 - I know that you have no idea on the whereabouts of the fourteenth prince, Queen Oito.203 - However, in a case of an emergency situation, for example... 204 - Did you not make preparations for who to contact and where to go if the worst happened?205 - These two really are something else... Kurapika doesn't blindly believe in his ability... therefore, he doesn't jump into conclusions even after gathering multiple facts...!206 - And the queen knows that her not knowing is her greatest and ultimate weapon. That's why she is staying quiet even after all that we've talked about.207 - The worst-case scenario would be that the fourteenth prince was on ship and targeted by the curse.
Kurapika: "Oito you owe me sex"
>>289424702208 - Even if all we knew was that the prince was somewhere out there, we'd still be able to gain the cooperation of the Hunter Association.209 - Would you... please tell us what you know?210 - Until I found out about the curse,211 - the worst-case scenario for me212 - was that after the new king was chosen, the king's army would find my daughter and execute me along with my entire family line.213 - Withdrawing from the succession war... I know from prince Kacho's case that it is a serious crime worthy of death.214 - It is as you said.215 - Because my confession can still be seen as a lie told to survive the succession war, we are not subject to punishment yet...216 - The moment our ineligibility is proven, we'll become criminals.217 - Our hope was that the ninth prince would survive and become king, but... now it's already...218 - All I can do now is believe in your hypothesis on the succession war's limitations while praying that the curse is not targeting us...219 - Maybe... if the members of the Hunter Association were to protect us...220 - There are many people with their own agendas in the Association... they're dependable, but I can't tell you to trust everyone.221 - However... I can assure you of this much.
>>289424604>kurapika vs troupe Not the same thing Kurapika had never used his abilities against a spider in straight combat. Can they dodge the chain? Will it work even if they know? Kurapika is also a protagonist and not a minor villain. Different strokes for different conflicts. I'm not fixated on Benjamin winning. Where the problem ultimately lies is that Togashi cannot allow events to unfold without cutting away, without taking a needle and deflating the balloon, without fucking telling the reader way too many specifics that are unneeded. Have Benjamin learn the hard way, when he confronts Kurapika himself. Make it dramatic. Is that so hard? Is togashi allergic to drama, pathos, emotions and so on? Why tell me in words when you can show me?
>>289424588Oh you don’t know the GSB ability?Oh why don’t you shut the fuck up?Motherfucker you’re a retard don’t read it if you’re not entertained. I didn’t ask for your bullshit about an arc that came out over 20 years ago. You tell me how the fuck Ben dies because you must know how it’s soooooo fucking obvious.Leave the thread, shits been gone for 2 years and you come in here whining like a lil bitch about some shit you don’t even know is gonna happen
>>289417297Killuas dad and grandad (I can’t remember their names anymore. Zeno?) probably had a cone like nen for the hotel
>>289424696Next chapter- Kurapika: Morena cannot actually make anything happen with Contagion because it's a bad ability, there's a flaw inside it and therefore it will never leave this boat. Chapter after that- Kurapika: Chrollo cannot capture the nen treasures of Kakin because they're not nen abilities anymore but something ~darker~. Impossible to steal, totally fused to the nation of Kakin. We can go on. Is this the manga you want to read? Don't answer that.
>>289424569Didn’t she say her plans during the card game because she had to reveal them?Ie ~2 years ago
>>289424410Remember when we spent 6 volumes worth of chapters on a card game that was basically just a training arc?
>>289424790Seething midwit. Terminal issue in these threads is that posters HAVE to like each chapter. If they don't, it apparently (evidently) threatens the enjoyment of every other anon, like so. It feels like a shaky confidence. Maybe you don't like it as much as you want to project outwards.
>>289424468>Reddit spacing>Mongolic takeLike clockwork.
>>289424846Difference is Greed island had actual conflict and actual win/loss states that weren't obfuscated or impossible beforehand, and we certainly were never told if they were. It was a different togashi writing those volumes and they hold up on a re-read. As opposed to morena card game which is unreadable dogshit
>>289424734The troupe literally had their fates revealed to them by a nen ability, anon. Again, that didn't make people less intrigued by the arc because there are still plenty of variables for what can happen.Your argument that it could've been presented in a more dramatic way is valid but that's besides the point.The average HxH reader doesn't require the "thrill" of knowing whether or not Ben might win in 16 hours and wrap up the arc. Togashi is not going to bother insulting the intelligence of his audience by acting like he will.The drama of martial law lies elsewhere. It's intriguing enough to see a doomed man make his last moves out of desperation.Plenty such characters exist in fiction.
Chapter 41X prediction:Kurapika: *receives phone call*Killua: “yeah we checked and prince woble is definitely on the boat”*hangs up**leaves for the rest of the series*

>>289424846>training arcs are amazing man sht up
>>289424889Majority of the greed island cards are just irrelevant infodumps and they eat up a lot of panel time, not that I dislike that
>>289424846Not only Greed Island was extremely interesting, with charismatic characters, but it also only took like, 2 years from start to finish.Those useless SW chapters would be a lot more tolerable if we were only 1 year into this arc.
>>289424933>Majority of the greed island cards are just irrelevant infodumps and they eat up a lot of panel time, not that I dislike thatNigger. Togashi just posted them all at once and was done with it.Also, ROLL:
>289424862>seethes impotently >cannot actually muster a response>still must reflexively defend togashi sense's honorYou're not a human being. >>289424896>troupe fatesLiteral same chapter is Hisoka tricking them into doing what he wants anyway. They got information but it's a simple device, doesn't change the story in any way. Most importantly because the fortunes can be reversed or broken through acting on them. >beside the point Its precisely the point. The kurapika aside destroys the pacing of the chapter. It destroys any chance Benjamin had or succeeding. Why add these two happenings together, when one is at odds with the other? Of what use is the decision to make it so, if not to deflate the action, drag everything down to a grind again, and to slow everything down? It makes the hype meaningless. It works AGAINST drama.
>>289424933Togashi believes all that stuff contributes to world building and lore.He initially planned to drop just a few cards but then he considered that nobody with a decent iq would buy that being a game crafted by one of the most intelligent hunters in the world. So he had to make it seem like it was a real game that existed beyond just the plot requirements.
>>289422422alluka included.sorry killua but you can go get fucked as far as this goes.
>>289418716>97 - but the conditions for the activation of the curse must be very high... I will die should I fail to activate it.I’m sorry but I have no idea how curses work. They’re clearly the new meta of nen because they just seem so absurdly convoluted to me
>>289424896>>289424994Also to add, would you consider the reader being told that Genthru would lose 100% of the time against Gon to be a solid choice before they had their fight? Do you think you'd be as engaged with the subsequent fight if you knew about the trap?
>>289422422the manliest on the left
>>289424984half of the fledgling ones are way more effort than they're worth. Just go to pilot school bro.
>>289424984Might as well while waiting on last pages.
>>289424984>>289424998Its fun to imagine what card you would want to take out of GI if you won it
>>289424718>>289423577Holy shit please Togashi you madman, have Gon get on the boat right has the baby killing starts pleaseeeeeeeee
>>289423696>>289424111>>289424604>>289424896>>289424862Based>>289423417>>289423843>>289424378>>289424734>>289424994Cringe
>>289421968Its a missed opportunity that there aren't any good bisky doujin
>>289424984GI cards and SW chapters have a similar issue of "Do I really need to know all this?" Like Benjamins royal guards nen abilities are practically the same thing as these GI spell cards only they actually have the vehicle of a character who might contribute something to the plot
>>289424702>>289424718222 - I223 - have friends I can trust more than my own self!224 - I can swear it on my life.225 - If it's those two we're talking about,226 - they will protect the fourteenth prince without a doubt!227 - A relative on my mother's side works at a post office in Yamato... 228 - If I send a coded letter there, they'll send it back for a fee to Kakin on the grounds of the recipient being unknown.229 - They would then write us from Yamato and their letter would be delivered to our address without any record of the delivery.230 - If we utilize that...231 - 49 days until the end of the succession war232 - The sentence is cut off so it can't be read, but it has "trusting Kurapika" in it.Thanks to everyone for reading my slow translation. I'll probably be starting the next chapter's translation much later because I'll be wageslaving in the afternoon shift that day.
>>289425101>like my sloppa GOOD>hate muh sloppa BAD
>>289423127It's good if you want to cheese a gunfight.It's pretty bad in most cases though. Even in a normal fistfight because getting them to break contact wouldn't take much effort.
>>289425066Bro got Ozempic as a card...
>>289424994
>>289424283The official translation is so much better.
>>289425127you sound like a Mexican btw
>>289425121Thank you anon, I kneel.>>289425133Yeah fuck me pretty much anything else in that category would have been more useful to me. Guess I can slopmaxx without worrying as much.
>>289425121Great job anon, thanks a lot. See you next week.
>>289425121Ok but how will Gon help? Is it time for him to get his nen back?
>>289425135That's basically the quality I can expect from genuine dimwits that think HxH is good right now. It had its peak, which was GI-CA arc. Togashi is being a faggot with the story and the manga right now and you really don't have an argument against this beyond jerking off
>>289424861FUCKING GON IS BACK NIGGA WHAT THE FUCK Bro the chapter wasn’t A1 you’re moving the goal posts like a motherfucker because you are big madddddFirst you’re talking 20 years ago and dodging the fucking question so I ask againHow does Benjamin die?You don’t know so come back next week, if you have something to say read it back to yourself and ask “am I an insufferable twat?” Even if the answer is no, do not post it, your judgement is retard level
>>289425038Ben doesn't occupy the Genthru role of this arc. He's not even diametrically opposed to "our protagonist" Kurapika, instead Kurapika sees the utility in Benjamin's actions and can use them to his benefit. Benjamin is just one faction leader fighting against other faction leaders.Whether he becomes an outright antagonist to Kurapika is still in question. Out of desperation he might, once he figures out the ramifications of the baby swap. So in this case his inability to win is what would actually spark the conflict between the protagonist and the potential villain which, again, could make for intriguing writing.But as a probable Bennybro you're just too invested in needing to see him get a W to understand that.
>>289425121forgot to mention dangerously cute Oito and RE-ENTER
>martial law starts in 3 seconds>next 10 chapters cover those 3 seconds
>>289425192You made your point, now please leave and stay there.
>>289425197First, you should make sure the chapter is actually fun to read. You can do this without grasping for homo "happenings" like teasing Gon or whatever. Its nonsense. Fanfic tier writing.
>>289425187If they find someone who can undo Beyond curses they might also be able to unseal Gon's nen. Surely there are possibilities one way or the other. Worst case the DC would surely have something that can solve the problem, shame we're not getting there.
>>289424984got some choices in mind, so watch it get the genie or some shit instead
>>289425192>It had its peak, which was GI-CA arcWRONG.Hunter x Hunter's peak was between 2012-2016, the chapters between Gon's meeting with Ging, the announcement of the Dark Continent voyage, and then the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight.The SW arc is good on a vacuum, but no one stops to think about the opportunity cost of what we are missing.
>>289425121Thanks anon
This batch will end with another flashforward to after a bunch of dramatic stuff has happened, and then next batch will go back to before the declaration of special martial law
>>289425294That period is peak after peak.
>>289425121thank you very much
>>289425319
I can't wait for the spiders to die
>>289425341
>>289424984>Paladin's Necklacewait does Gon still have his? would be perfect for Woble
>>289425314We'll get a cliffhanger of Tserriednich saying "At last... strong nen".
>>289425192Dude ur the same retard who thinks that there are absolutes in Nen. You should leave already.
>>289425294AgreedVol 33 is the best volume on hunter x hunter
>>289425371And of course:
>>289425371Ging is wrong, those are emittted guns
hang on a sec... maybe the succession war is just a decoy
>>289422498Well the right side is a volume release where more illustrations are drawn in. I believe previously there was just nothing in the 4th box down
>5 seconds after the declaration of special martial law>Tserriednich opens his eyes>5 seconds BEFORE the declaration of special martial law
Conjured hype
The more it goes on, the more unhappy I am with the Woble not on the ship situation. Like it’s feels like such an idiotic oversight from the Kakin king. Could he not have had a feast beforehand to confirm everyone has a beast and the ritual is going ok? Did we not literally have a sending off party? What’s the deal with the flame that indicates their life in the coffin room, does it have infinite wifi? Did togahsi get forced into this to have a killua and Gon side story?I’m also hating the nen curse stuff, it feels so stupid to read. This batch has not been good
is chartanon still updating his chart? is he waiting for the current batch to end before updating it? there are already at least a few minor things that should be added, e.g. pic related (another thing that comes to mind are two new bodyguards introduced in kurapika's nen class in chapter 411 or chapter 412, i forgot which one, they're the third prince's iirc)
>>289425121>A relative on my mother's side works at a post office...Yeah of course she does..Probably once again lying about shit and that relative is Beyonds goons
>>289425319>>289425341>>289425371Nothing really happens here. Its just togashi telling you stuff. Ooh are you getting excited? Look at this weird corpse. The amount of craft put into GI and CA is genuinely astonishing. He managed to balance every axis of manga at once. Tempo, style, mood, time compression, action, speed etc. all to perfection. Of course he would be exhausted, and he became lazy and overworked from the effort expended. That's why nothing really happens after that fact, and what little happens cannot be shown clearly or accurately within the frame of manga without undercutting it somehow. He lost his confidence as a mangaka
>>289425378>wait does Gon still have his?Yes, there's no reason he shouldn't have it. I would be very glad if Togashi remembered it.It's an extremely useful artifact to have in the real world. Worth many lives in the Succession Contest.
>>289425224You have to be funny to troll bro See you next week dummy
>>289425205I prefer the pessimistic Oito to be honest
>>289425187It's probably going to take at least a week or two or three to get this message out so I cant see Gon-Killua doing anything for another 50+ chapters
>>289425438Emitted hype
I'm the biggest fan of this arc, but was it necessary to cut away just as we are starting the martial law to Kurapika's baby yapping again for half a chapter with multiple panels that rival Rihan's classic? Just dump it all before.I swear Togashi is doing it on purpose at this point.And honestly these 3 Kurapika's chapters could have been way shorter, too much obvious stuff, and too overly explained, all of this didn't need to be this long.
>>289425187it's been over a year since he lost nen skills, should have regained most of his power by now
>>289425160Really?
>>289425446Also didnt Vict die offscreen??
I was there Benjamin, 3000 years before the declaration of special martial law
>>289425583>should have regained most of his power by nowAin't no way Togashi will just have Gon recover his powers offscreen.
>>289425477>Ooh are you getting excited? Look at this weird corpse
>>289425572>I'm the huge big biggy fan of this arc but also this arc suckskek
>>289425585dung heap of a world is much more impactful than shithole of a world.
>>289425572Apparently yes, going by all the hunterscholars itt. Making the action slower, less punchy is part and parcel of reading manga and you should just leave if you don't like it
>>289425572They pay off will be worth it, trust Togashi. Don0t you remember those chapters wasted on Welfin and Ikalgo during the invasion?
>>289425588Vict is alive but mind controlled
>>289421611Bro at this point, why not just write a novel holy shit.
>>289425211stairs...
>>289425632It blocks out Roys face though
>>289425645Werefin had excitement throughout. Ikalgo had his combat segment with Bloster which was good. Nothing similar exists in the SW arc. Because Togashi doesn't do action focus any more
Oito can get clowned at this point for all I care
I forget, is Gon's post-healing state something like>healed physically>can't access or perceive aurait kinda makes sense if you remember that Killua and Gon awakened their powers by Nen attack, going back to "normal" includes reverting that assault on aura noded
>>289425632I agree, shithole feels too aggressive. She's supposed to be serene yet disturbed, so rough language on that level tips feels too "strong", at least on that page. I don't like dung heap either, though. I wonder what would be the best word choice.
>>289425646Maybe the official version said otherwise but I understood that he died "as well"
>>289425719Would be absolute cinema.
>>289425689>I lived long enough to see someone defend the Ikalgo chaptersNostalgia really blinds people
>>289425737maybe trash pile
>>289425727Nanika reverted to Gon to his pre-Nen state because his own Nen was killing him.Gon just went back to being a Nenless person.
>>289425572JJK is prob better for someone of ur capacity
>>289425738It's not meant to imply that Vict committed suicide. He's just referring to Victs situation
>>289413388
>>289424984>47: Sleeping GirlThis is the best one.
>>289425787If that were just the case then Gon reopening his aura nodes and reacquiring Nen wouldn't be an issue, but Ging warned him that would be incredibly dangerous and to just be thankful he's still alive. So it's gotta be more than that.
>>289425748I still remember how ass hurt people used to be about those...
>>289425847N-NANI!?
>>289425121should i know who this is
>>289425991Gon's wife
>>289425991Noko lmaoThe fujos are planning mass suicide right now.
>>289426025>The fujos are planning mass suicide right now.Do they even still care about this series? It's been nothing but kakin politics for years and years, with no Gon or Killua in sight.
>>289426064only 40+ salarymen care, but they've got a lot of money in their pockets
god i wish machi farted in my mouth
>>289425371> emitters that conjure gunsIs togashi breaking his own logic?How is that better than having a gun and imbuing your gun / bullets with shu?Looks like a waste of mental effort and nen.
>>289417272>Nobunaga told you that En is an advanced technique.>Zeno said it's an exhausting technique.>Knuckle explains that advanced techniques consume more aura.>Killua literally can't into En despite all his potential.>You shouldn't be surprised at this point in the story.>Pitou is the only very special case of stamina and talent that makes En seems "easy", and it's because of these datails that you understand how absurdly monstruos the Royal Guards were.Phinks talked about En in ch. 400
>>289426247>Is togashi breaking his own logic?Read slower, friend.
>>289426267Yeah I forgot to add him too
>>289426025GAZE UPON THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND AND REALIZEYOUR DEFEAT IS ABSOLUTE
>>289426284I get the synergistic nen-bot.But the other panel doesn't talk about the dudes with personal guns?I'm not a spedie, I'm an oldie.I read this shit really long ago.
>>289426344>But the other panel doesn't talk about the dudes with personal guns?The pic I posted comes after Ging's confrontation with them.Ging realizes retroactively that Golem was the one Conjuring the guns.
Now that Kurapika has done the generic "At least I have my good friends.." thing maybe the arc will pivot away from him and this baby stuff
>>289426371thanks friendogonna have to read this fucker again
>>289426375best togashi can do is dedicating the rest of this batch to nen classes
>>289426375oh yea we got the sweet Leorio drawing for 415 manuscript, there's hope
>>289426247It's not, it's inefficient, that's why Ging thinks it's lame until he learns that's not actually what they're doing
It’s been so long since we’ve seen Theta
>>289426375>Saves Benjamin's life against his will
>>289426375>not happening, I think that this plot is just setting gyro back after DC arc succession war ends (phantom troupe and kurapika dies) DC (all hunters die in the expedition and many get their bodies recovered as calamities, ging went missing with his crew, beyond is defeated in the DC by ging in an insane turn of events) Get back to human world, with gon trying to protect the woble as kurapikas last wish, gyro appears, pariston never went to DC and is causing chaos in the world right now in the hunter association
>>289426499She's in the martial law 2 page spread with all the guards, but I agree she's overdue for a real appearance. Tse's storyline has been slow since she switched with Salkov.
>>289417481what do u mean ??
Realistically what could Kurapika do if the Kakin army busted down the door and decided to arrest him for some arbitrary or malicious reason?
What a great chapter, i love reading
>>289426962many are saying this
>>289425121Togashi, please...I can't do this shit anymore.Every week I tell myself, "Surely this retarded old man has finally run out of ideas."Then you drop another chapter and make me realize I'm the retard.Every time I think I found a plot hole, five chapters later you shove the answer down my throat like you've been laughing at me the whole fucking time.This isn't even a manga anymore.It's a 4D chess match against a man who refuses to lose.Bro isn't writing chapters.He's writing fucking evidence.Every page makes me feel like I have a one pisser IQ.Every speech bubble is another reminder that I don't know shit.I came here to read a battle shonen.Instead I'm getting psychologically evaluated by a ibuprofen'ed cripple with a pen.How the fuck do you even argue with this?You don't.You shut the fuck up, reread the chapter four times, and pretend you understood it on the first pass.I swear this mf could spend 19 pages explaining how a door opens and I'd be sitting there like,"holy shit..." and "he cooked."Please, Togashi.I'm begging you.Stop making me look like a fucking idiot every week.My brain wasn't built for this.I'm just some random retard trying to read a manga.You're out here writing the goddamn Dead Sea Scrolls.
>>289423415Only known exorcists so far:1. Abengane 2. Hina (ant lady with cute hat)3. Random hunter association exorcist4. Umanma (Camilla's private guard)
