I wonder when this fat fuck will float back in to the series again.
Why is Silva relying so hard on Killua inheriting the family business? Did he give up on Illumi and Milluki because the former is too autistic and the latter too fat and otaku?
>>289675666It's because they haven't manifested Zoldyck traits. They're Mama's boys
>>289675666Silva and zeno both know that killua inherited their side of the gene pool thats why they three have grey hair.
>>289675626Crazy how he looks like kim jong un before the fame.
>>289675666Assuming you take Zeno at his word killing someone they aren't contracted to kill is considered shameful and Illumi's just a fucking murderhobo.
>>289675626Fuckin parade float.
So Furykov's ability would take 3 years to decipher and destroy beyond's curse, but was able to decipher and amplify Benjamin's nen beasts ability to become a "nen God" in 12 days? I guess it could have been 2 months but the beasts didn't seem to "hatch" until they were on the boat
>>289675666The leader of the Zoldycks are selected by hair color. There is a reason why Togashi made Killua as the only child with White hair - the same hair as Silva and Xeno. Its a physical indicator that Killua is the only child that inherited more of his masculine dad's genes whereas the other siblings inherited more of their mom's feminine genes
>>289678432Benjamin's nen beast is at max 2 months old whereas Beyond's nen curse is at least 20 years old. If Furykov wants to decipher this curse, he needs to find Wobble and analyze her curse because its only 14 months old
>>289678361OH! HE'S A ZOLDYCK, YOU DON'T TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT!
>>289675626Beyond's crew btw
>>289675626What size is Millukis cock?
>>289675666>Illumi does literally everything for the family just as he was taught>Gets treated the worst Why does everyone hate illumi?
>>289679367He deserves it to be honest
>>289679367what is maha even doing?
>>289677689Killua has killed just as many people as illumi?How is killua any different again?
>>289679398>Does his best in the way he was taught by the family while always prioritizing the safety of the family in every situation >Unlike killua or fatty has never once gone against the family interests>Literally does everything he's told>"ERM you're a weirdo therefore we love killua more"Being an autistic is the ultimate zetsu in the hunter world
>>289678745Why do people keep saying Wible is cursed? Aren't the curses supposed to target the princes? Or am I just slow and didn't understand anything?
kwab
>>289679485Average fight fag
>>289675666he's a nen prodigy of the highest order and is also not a complete retard
>ging managed to convince a bunch of people to stay on some bum fuck island for 10 years doing nothingrazor was a death row convict so i'm sure he preferred it to the alternative, but the others were just his friends, so why the fuck would they do that. at the very least dwun and list got to do whatever they wanted, the twin girls got fuckin shafted having to stay in that hellscape
I have Strong Nen
>>289679848He has some type of semi coercive joint type nen hatsu for sure. He gathers people for his project and amplify their ability while manipulating their mind a bit
Benjamin will kill Cammy, but her nen beast will manifest and activate its ability.She is going to take full control of on of her maids and similar to Halkenburg's situation, her body will die but her flame of life will still live on.Zombie Cammy arc incoming
>>289679470>even the rest of the family are shocked at how fucked up Illumi isI'd ask how he turned out this way, but being the first son of an assassin family isn't exactly a recipe for normalcy.
>>289680058Hey... I know that manga...
>>289675626I could have saved her
Cute Kurapika's gf
I still don't know nen
>razor is only skillful nen despite being greed island's spell master
>>289675666Killua is the most talented Zoldyck in history.
STRONG YAP
>>289679424Who cleaned that up? Was there an investigation?
How strong is he?
>>289679367his black eyes doomed him
>>289680398The Hunter Association investigated itself and found there was no evidence of foul play.
>>289679893Chrollo watching Sarada's snuff rape every night before crying himself to sleep.
>>289675626Is this guy also modeled after one of the north korea fatty kims
>>289680404he's a three star marathon hunteryou tell me
>>289680440no but the East Gorteau leader* was.
The hunter association would've personally dropped a poor man's rose on israel and sent 400 gourmet hunters to end gaza's hunger crisis fyi
>>289675666Because he's a Nen genius and has traits his father is looking for, such as the way he takes control of his fate and escapes to live his life the way he wants to. Silva no doubt thinks that is more admirable than a child that simply follows orders.
>>289680474He can solo the phantom troupe
Sex with the greed island tank top girlI cannot believe genthru got away with snuffing out such a babe
>>289680643so could god speed Killuathe troupe is a joke without Chrollo
>>289680649I told you her name is Asta.
>>289675666what the Zoldycks do is the sort of thing real occult "elite" bloodlines do to their own offspring. you get programmed regardless but you generally come out as either a psycho drone or a slave. rarely you get someone transcendent that can be groomed and trained to lead.Kalluto and Alluka are slaves, Illumi and Milluki are psycho drones that uphold the system/family to feed their lifestyles. Killua has the makings of an heir, as someone who was able to cultivate a multifaceted personality (notice how narrowly focused the other siblings and their interests are), understand their family system enough to abide by it then bend the rules where it matters, etc.the Zoldycks need a Killua, but in a form that puts the family and its business as first priority.
The rape festivals will continue until morale improves
>>289675666im personally rooting for the fat guy
>>289680716Reminder that Beyond can take out Nasubi whenever he wants.
>>289680716I truly believe that the rape festivals will be way more prominent to the story later on
>>289678432I assume that the curse taking 20-something years to build up made it more powerful. Along with who knows how many other conditions.Likely for this exact reason, to make it as hard to exorcise as possible.
>>289680346>winded just by walking aroundHow does an elite assassin get to 300 lbs, it shouldn't be possible.
>>289679485>>289679656>fightfag retard>forced to stand around and watch people talk for weeks>absolutely giddy about martial law>gets his ass kicked>copes and seethes about how this technically counts as a winTogashi knows his audience, at least.
>>289679474Woble is a prince, and she did take part in the ceremony for nen beasts. Furykov confirms the curse triggers when you take part in the ritual, not when you actually go on the boat: so the real Woble is not on the ship (maybe), but she's still been cursed by Beyond's shenanigans cause she took the ritual.
>>289680824it says it right there, he uses different technologies to assassinate rather than doing it himself
>>289680353nothing a kiss won't solve
>>289680686asta lavista is what my cock would say to those bouncing tits she showed off
Is tse going to hurt melody or would her earnestness win over his hatred for lying women
>>289681013I think there's a non-zero chance Tserriednich wants Melody to mentor him.

>>289681071
>Miscounting Zhang coins>Fuugetsu ability changing conditions>Melody accusing Luzurus on a hunch>A card game with zero strategy>Hinrigh deduction that the troupe killed LynchAny more instances of objectively bad writing during this arc
Greed Island really was a brilliant arc compared to this borefest
>>289680667>this guy can kill spiders>oh yeah? so can geneticallyengineeredtokillspidersgroyper. So what?
New reader. I was reading last thread and it was said that Genthru's countdown was a group ability. Correct me if im wrong but didn't Genthru threaten to use countdown in his fight against Gon once Little Flower was getting countered? I thought the manual deactivation of countdown was the only group part of it
>>289675626Most of the new chapter was the lamest recap ever while the only new content was a tutorial on how to use the mail service, I can't even...
>>289679848I think living on an island paradise where all your needs are met by Nen, and your wildest fantasies were made real by you and your friends, as well as custom Npc's for the admins to fuck and do whatever they want with is a bit better than a "hellscape". You are right about Elena and Eta, but they were able to detect when intruders approached the island on a boat, so maybe that Nen script allows them clairvoyance, and they can gain sensory experience of everything that happens on the island at will. They had a bunch of teleport locations with pictures too, maybe they can see those marked locations and their surroundings as well. Maybe they can choose to inhabit Npc's, or control them to a limited degree, who knows.I do think they left the island to vote in the Election anyway, so maybe Greed Island can be shut down for maintenance lmao. Give them Christmases and Holidays off.
>>289681077>Fuugetsu ability changing conditions>Melody accusing Luzurus on a hunch Melody and Nencho were having a private conversation, it was Nencho who said she had a suspect in mind. The next page is a hardcut to a different conversation with Kaiser. Here Melody accuses Luzurus and Nencho goes "oh yea I bet it's him for sure!" It's obviously rehearsed, so there's reason to suspect that everything they said in front of Kaiser was bullshit. "Fugetsu needs to have been there to use her door" is just pretense for whatever they wanted to accomplish with the letters. Trust the plan.
>>289681077>A card game with zero strategyA card game-autist anon actually ran the game multiple times, and his results were that Borksen pretty much played it as well as she could without knowing that cheating might manipulate her into saying yes.
>>289680713There's also the practical reason that Killua's strong, Silva and Zeno both worked on the contract against Chrollo, and at least one of them could've died despite being strong. We don't see too many other older Zoldycks besides Maha, so they probably do get killed from time to time.
>>289681223You're correct
>>289681077dude shut the fuck up we finally get some headway into the writing and you want to start poking holes, shut the fuck up
>>289681223>I thought the manual deactivation of countdown was the only group part of itThat is the case. Whcih means you can give merely a portion of your ability symbiotic elements, which is cool.
>>289681296We also don't know if Eeta and Elena are stuck in their rooms. Elena was seen sipping coffee, that must have come from somewhere. Hell, they're still human beings. They gotta use the bathroom.Could be a thing where they're pinged by nen and telported to their stations whenever a user enters or leaves the game, but are otherwise free to do whatever.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uUGfTNcq8&pp=0gcJCWQCo7VqN5tD Given enough time.and we won't have to wait for anime to get our chrollo vs hisoka fight.I hope ai will keep improving for this
>>289681398>Elena was seen sipping coffeeI just assumed that room was like a holodeck that could provide them whatever they needed when it wasn't in use. Either by Conjuring it or teleporting it to them.
greed island was pretty based
>>289681428It was boring swill
If Genthru tried walking around the Black Whale touching people he’d trigger a dozen different autistic counter abilities. Why were the Greed Island hunters such scrubs?
>nen type: transmutation >ability: aura disables friction, so you can slide across flat surfaces and are immune to bludgeoning attacksWould this be good?
>>289681428I never got the hate for it, I like it more than hunter exam, heavens arena, and arguably Yorknew
Genthru is A tier nigga
>>289675626i need him in 10 panels spread throughout 10 chapters of him eating food inside the boat, only to leave immediately upon setting foot on the fake island
>>289681428It was the last good arc of this series.
>>289681449Yeah its simple and strong like Bungee Gum or Nen Threads.
>>289681437>Why were the Greed Island hunters such scrubs?They underestimated the game, and then either got married like that dude who tried to take a card from Gon and Killua, or just went to Aiai to fuck NPCs.
>>289681449You’d slide into the sun
>>289679367I always wonder, is there a reason Killua doesnt really care about Kalluto? I dont think he EVER mentioned him. He doesnt seem like a bad person at all and I dont think he has the personality to annoy Killua either.
>>289675626When togashi use the power of AI to draw faster cause the current arc is not gonna end soon, my bet this would take around 2 years or longer if his back made of gum again.
>>289681476>When togashi use the power of AI to draw faster
>>289680542The hunter association are lapdogs anon.
>>289680769>>289680716>Beyond is against the rape festivalsAny chance he freed Morena? Could Beyond be the joker they are talking about?
>Beyond planned everything 20 years in advanceWoah.I guess his goal is to crash the whole ceremony.
>>289681532No. Heil-ly wants to destroy Kakin, Beyond wants to control Kakin. Their goals don’t align.
>>289681538It’s 50 years, speedy. Try to keep up
>>289681449Removing friction would not make you immune to bludgeoning attacks. It would have some effect to reduce the amount of force that could be transferred. However a lot of simplified simulations actually ignore friction in their calculations because it doesn't matter enough for them. Like if you are making a simulation for billiards, you usually don't need to calculate the friction between the balls, just with the table. Though without friction calculations between the balls you won't get the simulation to properly show the effects of imparted spin. The ability might actually do better against cutting and piercing, as blades and points would need better alignment or they could slip off.
>>289681428Excellent training arc, easily the best one ever made. But it wasn't just about training; you never really knew what was gonna happen with so many cards and players around, and its existence alone really showed how much you can do with Nen. Yet, the practice was so engrossing you almost didn't give a shit about the game or anybody playing for a while, much like Gon and Killua, so you're as taken aback as everyone else when Genthru kicks things into high gear.I also get a kick out of Togashi subverting the "hero masters a new technique mid-fight that flips the tables" trope. Sometimes, gambles like Bisky's really don't pay off. But you're so used to them paying off in a triumphant moment that you might forget how well-telegraphed the giant rock plan is, because Gon shooting a nen blast seems cooler. Only to start begging Gon to quit being retarded and follow the goddamn plan, regardless of whether you guessed what it was or not, once Genthru kicks his shit in.The whole thing also comes back during the Knuckle fight; scissors was introduced as a surprise, so paper wouldn't have the same impact if Gon pulled it out of nowhere. However, since Gon did emitter training, and it's the only one of three moves left, it feels rewarding to see the attack after so long. It also functions like Bisky said it would: it gave Gon more options, rather than being lethal on its own.Gred Island's not as emotionally resonant as Yorknew or Chimera Ant. Doesn't have as many characters and plot lines as Succession. It feels like a detour. However, enjoying such things is one of the series' themes, and Ging spells it out. Greed Island's underlying aspects show storytelling mastery in their own way. It'd be the best arc in any series that wasn't as good as HxH.
>>289681603Aura itself slows, and resists force, if you don't have enough aura, it can't stop all of the force and you take some damage, but like when Gon tried to stop Razors ball, this doesn't happen instantly, there is a split second where the forces meet and counteract each other, if his aura is also frictionless, that split second could be enough for the attack to slide off harmlessly
>>289681496>I'll do it slowly and whenever I wantbeing a fan of HxH is equvalent to being a cuck
>>289681466I'll slide into your fucking bootycheeks, nigger
>>289681361>>289681367I see. Thanks.
Furykov: Hold on Balsamico! Beyond has curse children planted all over tier 1! They could detonate at any point and kill their designated prince. We should be cautious of course but still not wait too long. Its a ticking timebomb we are dealing with and we dont have any counter measures against it!Why didnt Furykov mention this? Would have changed their whole plan and prevented Tse and Kurapika class from learning nen making their position weaker. Also the awakening with Halkenberg.
He could probably wipe the floor with most of troupes other than combatant members like Feitan or Finks
>>289681691paku would destroy him
>>289681677why didnt ben just use the virus boots to kill some/all of his siblings at the banquet on day 1?
>>289681677Because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut up. Don’t poke holes in Togashi’s writing
>>289681677The 4 most likely options in my opinion are>He figured out Benjamin's Nen beast's ability and wanted the whole "Nen god, tree of Kakin" ending >He thought telling them would be figured out and the curse would be activated before everything is in place>He's being manipulated, or does not have the best intentions in mind for Ben despite what he says>Togashi preferred it to be a reveal, but in an arc where he's having everyone act incredibly cleverly, it feels like a cop out, or bad writing, not something Furykov would do.
>>289681702cute
>>289681691Genthru is fodder trash, a nenless Kortopi would one-shot him
Anyone got that gif of Genthru smugly blocking punches
>>289681677Who knows. We'll find out soon enough, though. Furykov is being given extra attention for a reason.
>>289681699? How, Paku got her rib broken by Gon before he knew Gyo, Genthru ate a kick to his chin with 70% of Gon's aura and was only stunned for a second.
>>289681742>was only stunned for a secondNice speedreading. He almost died
>>289679367>Kalluto just wants Onii chan's cock
>>289681730I assume you mean this one? He's doing that thing where he is making Gon guess whether or not he's going to use his ability.
Honestly Genthru only gets underestimated because he looks like a fodder character.
>>289681645It would really depend on how exactly aura to aura interactions are affected. However while I can easily see it negating any glancing blow, and reducing the effect of anything without perfect alignment, the deflection would still require transferring the energy from its inertia. The lack of friction just allows for a more complete deflection, it doesn't mean you can just skip the energy transfer that causes the change in course.
>>289681729You're just mad because he's a white man
>>289681467Killua hates his mom and not only is Kalluto quiet, but he's also mostly hanging around her.>>289681629Greed Island also has some rewatchability, it's interesting to go back and speculate how Ging and co. built all that with nen
>>289681765genthru gets clowned on because he lost to a little boy
>we're here to fuck bitches
>>289681754Right but his jaw wasn't broken where he was hit. And that's 70% of Gon's aura, vs a Kick to Pakunoda in base Ten.
>>289681768>It would really depend on how exactly aura to aura interactions are affected. However while I can easily see it negating any glancing blow, and reducing the effect of anything without perfect alignmentI can agree with that.I just err on the side of the Transmuter. Since all of their aura properties are nonsense anyway.
>>289681777This artist drew Kaito like complete auraless kek
>>289681705Because it would have been an obvious biological weapon terrorist attack. Of a weapon created in Kakin. The more people caught in it the more difficult it would be to cover it up. Ben also doesn't seem to want a lot of extraneous deaths.
>>289681813>The more people caught in it the more difficult it would be to cover it up.Ben would easily be able to censor that shit, especially with the King being 100% on board and the entire voyage being set up specifically to allow this sort of thing to happen.>Ben also doesn't seem to want a lot of extraneous deaths.Much more reasonable explanation
>>289681761Kek yes that's it. Ty
>>289681677That wouldn't change a thing because they don't know who is cursed, the targets of each sacrifice or what triggers the curse.Beyond is full of shit in case you haven't noticed.
>>289681845Even if thats true, its still stupid of Furykov to keep it to himself.
>>289681836The medical staff that would respond to such an attack would be elite hunters, not Kakin personnel. Even with Halkenburg, Cheadle was involved in his care in his body's final moments.
>>289681702Sexy boy
>>289679367To give an example, if Illumi was brought to the Palace Raid he'd have tried to dart Meruem while he was trying to save Komugi. Alternatively he'd dart her.He's more of a sociopath than even Silva or Zeno.
>>289680824it's his condition
>>289681894>To give an example, if Illumi was brought to the Palace Raid he'd have tried to dart Meruem while he was trying to save Komugi. Alternatively he'd dart her.Oh man, could you imagine? He would have instantly died.
>>289681777Kite is a kissable rat girl now
>>289681813>>289681836Ben is also kind of a softie when it comes to innocent targets.
>>289681077>>Hinrigh deduction that the troupe killed LynchThe list of people that would bother to imitate Hisoka is so short the Troupe are seriously the only plausible suspects. The second Hinrigh realized Lynch had been faked it's easy to start putting together the other pieces and even with that, he's still not 100% sure it's the troupe
>>289681944Hisoka could’ve done it
>>289675626I look just like this
>>289681944Never mind imitating Hisoka, the amount of people who even know he's on the ship is low as well
Take note of the portrait panels. Melody and Kacho look directly at one another, in fact they're even connected by Kacho's speech bubble. They are aligned; Kaiser is very deliberately excluded, his back is to them and he looks away. His intentions, like his portrait, are solitary and uncommunicating.Is he looking at 1014?
>pariston is gon's mom>cheadle is gon's mom>ging used a pregnancy stonefools, the real answer is staring you right in the face
I think it's time to admit I'm just a brainlet.Genuinely didn't understand 3/4 of last chapter.
Explain this 'strong nen' meme to me
>>289681920Very cute, Kacho-approved page
If escaping the ship caused Kacho to instadie, what's to say any attempt to steal any of the sacred treasures won't end in the same outcome? How's Chrollo going to do it without consequence?
>>289682004Beyond Netero uses On
I just realized what the actual purpose behind deep purple is. He's using the diving beetle strategy to breathe underwater by diffusing oxygen through a bubble of air. And smokey jail isn't a combat ability either, it's a diving bell. His smoke soldiers are also designed for operating in low visibility confined spaces like wrecks and caves using En to see even in pitch blackness or total siltouts. Even his smoke shackle is actually a recovery line! And his constant monitoring of his condition to the percentage and strict timelines are all from technical dive training where you have to constantly monitor your oxygen levels and plan out everything to the second.
>>289681989Mildly unrelated, but I wonder if Kacho's current state is a delayed punishment from trying to escape the ship. "evil sprits" sounds pretty ritual-esque to me
>>289681677>poisons your future king to death>doesn't tell him the plan, instead lets him figure out his death sentence on his own for no reason >this is casually accepted in the span of two pages by the now deathly sick prince A plot hole no matter how you niggers cope. Extremely ooc for Benjamin to accept this ludicrous scenario.
>>289681920Why didn't keep his word? he'd kill every one of them with his bare hands. ALL TALKS.
>>289682015If they can’t be stolen, they wouldn’t be hidden in the first place, dummy. Think Rihan, think!
>>289682001Have you read the togashi's troupe translation? Because the Viz was egregiously clunkly this latest chapter.
>>289682029kino
>>289681869That's ok too, if all of Ben's soldiers were smart then he wouldn't need Balsamico.
who will win the succession war?
>>289682015>>289682052Imagine if the actual defense mechanism for the treasures is essentially just an Indiana jones themed nen trap
>>289682079Marayam. He’s Beyond’s son
>>289682060I did. Same thing.I'm just completely lost on everyone's motivations for anything at this point. Like, all of Fury and Beyond went wooooooosh over my head.I'm so lost I don't even get what Ben's doing with the Martial Law anymore. It's over for me.
>>289682089>everyone is expecting some extremely complicated nen curse>it's just a giant rock hidden in the ceiling that crushes you when you open the door
>>289681777The guy in the background was really upset when he found out that there wasn't a bear zodiac position open
>>289682029Retroactively, him being a sea hunter also makes sense. He was perfectly confident fighting in the water and is buddies with a dude who uses a surfing power.Now I'm thinking about Knov and Palm. Knov's ability is perfect for fetvhing people and objects, and Palm's clairvoyance let her know where anyone was on demand, before morphing into Wink Blue. A pretty good team, it's no wonder how Knov took her under his wing.
>>289682079I think Momoze has it in the bag.
>>289681702
>>289682047pronouns classes with Shimanu were more important, please understand
>>289682105is this a Bonolenov upscale?
>>289682079Salé-Salé's rigor mortis will harden his dick into a nen lightning rod, redirecting all the curses onto himself. A selfless martyr and the winner of the moral battle.
I am so afraid of bunnies that being on the same planet as them is more terrifying to me than dying. Thus this vow is more than a death vow like Kurapika. This means with a vow that by being on the same planet, or even country, as a bunny, I automatically get 100x stronger.
>>289682131Yeah a body bag>>289682079Tserriednich but the ritual will be tampered with and he'll be permanently fucked with in some way like Diavolo, King Crimson connection and all that
>>289682127The same could be said about Chrollo and Pakunoda. Stealing useful abilities from other people and then implanting fake memories to so that they don't even remember creating said hatsus
>>289682079>More than half of them are jobbers except 1, 3, 4
>>289682105>behold the might of kakin's ancestry
>>289681974>Hisoka could’ve done itLet's stop and think about this. >Hisoka encounters two mafia goons>KOs lynch>KOs Zakuro>then transforms into Lynch to interrogate Blood guy? >Also tells Zakuro where he will be so he can bring the rest of the mafia>Still made sure to kill Lynch, whose power lets her gain informationNone of this makes sense for Hisoka to do anon. The obvious answer is that the Lynch Shapeshifter was also a hisoka shapeshifter and their goal was to get a meeting with the mafia. And why would anyone want this meeting? What would someone pretending to be Hisoka gain from this if not getting he Xi-Yu to be more lenient to the Troupe while on the lower levels? Lynch being killed also makes sense when you realize she probably did learn something and got silenced for it. But the only thing she could have learned was the identity of the fake hisoka since that was the only question she asked before she got knocked out. >>289681987Also true, quite frankly nobody else should be in the know about the Spider v Hisoka feud, much less inserting themselves into it.
>>289682156No. You’re not sacrificing anything. You already lived on a planet with bunnies. Nothing has changed. That’s not a vow. A vow would be like a person who’s afraid of bunnies carrying one around with them at all times.
>>289682079Something's going to happen and the whole ship explodes. It's going to be some>muh political mindgames are no match for nature/luck.shit that happensmoral
>>289682100>Benjamin (1st Prince)He is desperate. Because he is poisoned and running out of time, he used Martial Law to seize complete military control. His goal is to legally isolate and execute the other princes before his body collapses.>Camilla (2nd Prince) She wants to kill Benjamin first. She relies on her "Have-Nots" squad, a group of untargetable, curse-bearing assassins who use suicide-vows to curse the higher-ranking princes to death.>Zhang Lei (3rd Prince) He is playing the long, economic game. He is allied with the Xi-Yu mafia family and is focused on figuring out the secret function of his Nen beast's coins, which increase in value and utility over time.>Tserriednich (4th Prince)He wants to slaughter his siblings and rule as a dictator. Currently, he is focused on mastering his terrifying Nen ability (which lets him see 10 seconds into the future) so he becomes entirely unkillable.>Halkenburg (9th Prince) He transitioned from a peaceful protestor to a ruthless executioner. He successfully poisoned Benjamin, set up the martial law trap, and is using his collective Nen arrow ability to swap his subordinates' minds into enemy bodies to hijack the military.
>>289682182I am sacrificing something. Every attosecond being on the same planet as a bunny is more terrifying that the worst and most demonic afterlife you can imagine. Having a kidney stone the size of the sun would be less than the sheer pain and terror I feel from a single one, let alone the knowledge there is a species. I also sacrifice my ability to move to another planet or location on this planet without them that is protected from them ever arriving.
>>289680800There is probably more human sacrifice rituals tied to the royals/empire outside of the princes in the succession ceremony. The king seems like he may be willing to sacrifice almost everyone on the ship to super charge whatever is really going on. Another failed expidetion to the dark continent is a convenient way to cover up a giant human sacrifice
>>289682156Understandable. That would be life if I sacrificed my ability to rape Reinhard Heydrich. You are now granted the ability to give routes to every routelet.
>>289682206Nasubi definitely does want to establish the colony on the fake Dark Continent though. Otherwise Kakin stands to lose their status as part of the new V6 if they pushed for all this and come up empty handed. Total chaos cannot be a part of his plans, but he's willing to accept civilian casualties so long as it plays into the succession war's success.
>>289682205Your nen is dog shit. A nenless Kortopi could effortlessly rape and kill you.
>>289682205>brainlet trying to outsmart nen systemThats literally kid level thinking. If i just pretend hard enough thats its true that means its real.
>>289682185GRRM, I kneel before your allegory of Others. I will now pre-order Winds of Winter and the upcoming Godwyn DLC.
I like how there's been so much shit going down everyone has forgotten about the army of 5k nen initiated chimera ant soldiers that could show up at literally any second with no warning.
>>289682156Bnuy!
>>289682206A few weeks ago I had a farfetched theory that the festival was somewhat connected to the Kurta Massacre and the Troupe, who are connected because they killed Risnorth (Sarasa's killer who likely had connections to the Kakin mafia)
>>289682189It was Fury who poisoned BenHalk didnt even came close to him after he switched body
>>289682205Theoretically, if a character who hates being too strong were to make a vow like>In exchange for becoming stronger (which I hate), I will become even stronger
Reminder, Halkenburg believes/intuits that when a possessed target's body dies (Shikaku's body possessed by Sumidori who then shot himself) the inhabiting soul dies with it. Meaning Sumidori's soul did not return to his original body, leaving Shikaku to be the sole inhabitant of Sumidori's body.
>>289682156has Togashi ever explored how nen works with genuinely deluded characters? there's something to be said about the roles of subjectivity and objectivity in nen. inb4 that topic opens up through Pariston.
>>289682239If only the vow was 1000x stronger instead of 100x, thus the fatal heart attack could've been prevented.
>>289682239>instantly taken out by the weakest Zodiac member
>>289682237That’s Beyond’s backup plan if the curses don’t cull enough princes by the deadline. All he needs to do is make a call to Pariston and say “It’s time.” and then shit will really hit the fan.
>>289682237They're not on the ship retard
>>289682237yeah the fact that pariston is standing just off screen with a gun pointed at black whale's metaphorical head is an amusing detail to remember whenever the heil-ly are onscreen and think they have any hope of accomplishing their goals
>>289681894Illumi would never do that!
>>289682269We don’t know that, retard.
>>289682259Genuinely deluded characters no, however the closest we've ever got iirc was Franklin cutting his fingers off so that the nen bullets would be stronger. For what we know someone could have even done it to their penis
>>289682259Methinks there ought to be a scene where someone's fooled into thinking they violated a nen vow but they didn't.
>>289682052>>289682089They're more closely guarded than the king himself. I guess they are somewhere in the vicinity of the coffin room (or maybe directly in/above/below it) to power the corpses. Very few talents like Ging and Beyond have a systemic/AoE nen prowess (Benjamin is threatening to do the same), so Chrollo is definitely an underdog to try exploiting it, yet we know he most definitely will manage with his intelligence it's only a matter of how. The seed urn has already performed its function pre-departure, so this might be the easiest to steal barring some military goons.The mummy hands which oversee the contest could be the tough one, making it a battle of Chrollo vs a bunch of hands. His cape could ward them off until he pockets that treasure with it, but all the powers he used during his fight with Hisoka would be useless against them. Then there's that sword which is given to the new king upon victory. Maybe this is a sword in the stone tier treasure which only the king can take, but otherwise poses zero threat? In this case, maybe his condition to steal this is to force/manipulate Nasubi to pull it out for him. In other words, his opponents for each treasure would be military --> Treasure itself --> Nasubi in terms of difficulty. Should he succeed, this would benefit Beyond, Kurapika and the younger princes, while making even greater enemies of Hisoka, the mafia, and the older princes. >>289682105kek
>>289682259They'd have to be nen geniuses because there's no way they'd be able to learn it to any decent proficiency from a normal teacher.And presumably yes they'd be really really strong, but only in their specific insane obsession, and they'd obviously have loads of blatant flaws and weaknesses a competent nen user could use to beat them.Keep in mind most of the actual nen users we know of are already psychotic compared to a "normal" person, so someone deranged even compared to them would be totally schizo.
>>289682282>5000 living soldiers stowawayed on the ship>without anyone noticing
>>289682297>Cut off penis>Manipulate penis into flying like Shoot's hands
>>289682309Given Chimera Ants and non-humans can learn Nen, it begs the question if the Dark Continent has genuine completely unhuman-like mindsets which find ways to exploit Nen rules or just plain do Nen in ways nobody else can.
>>289681077Morenas card game is completely fair the issue is that its supposed to be completely fair so you cant do anything fun
>>289682315Morena had a secret hideout built into the ship without anyone noticing. It’s possible there’s a secret room filled with cocoons waiting to hatch.
>>289682319There's a non zero chance someone got a circumcision because it would boost their nen ability
>>289675626whats the point in changing protagonists in a series, why not start a new one
Is it possible to use some strange political authority to make the Spiders a legal organization and under the politician make others join the group even without them knowing? Or will Kurapika not recognize it as legitimate?
>>289682259how about a nen ability that makes people think their abilities have conditions that dont really exist?
>An ability so insane it demands National Treasure + Skill Hunter Upgrade, the two being interlinked of courseWhat on earth could it be?
>>289682324Or even if they use nen at all. Chimera ants are from the DC and only learned nen from humans.For all we know nen is actually a human invention powered by some gigantic construct(daily reminder that all of humanity lives inside a gigantic magic circle and all the nen of all living creatures boils off the top of their heads and up "somewhere" into the sky)
>>289682079>fufu, ben, halkdead men walking>luzurus, zhang, tubeppajobber energy, rihan/mafia victims>cammy, tysondrooling retards>TseriSTRONG NEN but I doubt kurapika and the others will let him livemarayam or woble will probably win
>>289682355cat's name is probably the best anti-hisoka ability on the ship, so it's a good contender
>>289682336There's a non zero chance someone has used nen to regrow their foreskin.
>>289682079Kacho is going to make a stunning come from behind win!
>be Chrollo>read Jojo>realize everyone's got these Part 5 powers and you're stuck in a Jojo part>come to the realization that though you predate Pucci, your power is the closest to Whitesnake>tfw it's inevitable you'll be led to some green baby who will give you a C-Moon nen power
>>289682366Chrollo can just steal that normally.
Remaining princes plotlines to catch up with c.410(Day 9/10/11/12-->Day 12 2:15) [1007/1009/Tier 2] Halkenburg's POV, explaining 3rd to 6th rumblings (Rice?, Vict, Balsamilco, Luzurus?)(Day 12-->2:15) [1003] Zhang Lei's escape flashback + Coventoba POV(2:15--?)

>>289682337To show a different perspective, and also because you don’t want to throw away a well crafted world full of interesting characters and settings
Benjamin will become some god but the plot twist is that there's no clause he's in control of himself and there'll be other powers that can control him and fights over them.
>>289682355I wonder what the upgrade even is. I don't think it'll be a s simple as a STRONG NEN boost, it must be to loosen the restrictions on stealing abilities so he doesn't have to pass so many conditions to do it. That's really the only thing stopping him from getting more busted hatsus, being unable to get incredibly paranoid nen users to do a five step process including explaining their entire ability and touching his book.
>>289682259Schizo nen users would be terrifying.
>>289680992>highlighting every speech bubbleWhat a retarded image kek
>>289682405The plot twist is that the first king already thought of that idea and did it and is already a nen god possessing all the kings of Kakin for eternity.
>>289682405Don't think he cares. He's genuinely a selfless guy
>>289682388sure, but he'd either need the book open or have to dedicate his bookmark to itif the upgrade to skill hunter is allowing an ability to be always active, then the massive requirement makes sense
is furykov the ascendant tertiary character (hinrigh/theta/borksen) of this batch?
Rihsn looks so cool with his gun
>>289682222This reminds me of another power system where characters have all these technical powers yet one of the stronger characters's power is>I blow shit upand he spreads propaganda about how his power level is so high that such a simple power has priorities over everyone's complex powers.It doesn't work and the guy on the right casually beats him into submission. And to be fair, Rot Spinne IS the single strongest character in the franchise by a considerable margin
So, Ben would be a ruthless dictator but he would be a good ruler?
>>289682259>I am the best nen user in the world>why?>because I made my own Nen OS
>>289682428>schizo nen usersAren't those just conjurers?That's actually be an interesting potentially powerful ability.>you conjure an extremely powerful entity capable of killing most nen users with ease>but the catch is it not only doesn't obey you, but is actively after you and only attacks other people if they get in it's way>the only way for the ability to end is for you or the entity to die>you have 24 hours before you pass out due to nen exhaustion
>>289682259The plan of the next villain is to induce schizophrenia onto entire populations and make them swear vows like that in exchange for "protection" from the complete non-threat they fear. Then their nen is syphoned into a power source for him to use.
>>289682458There's a bunch of guys in kakin that need killing. Obviously these factions are upset with the idea of Benjamin having total control. But he's also genuinely and unequivocally for the betterment of the nation above all else- hence he would be a good candidate for King. Shown multiple times that he genuinely has nothing against the weak princes. They're just in the way.
>>289682458He'd maintain the status quo. Maybe get rid of the rape festivals and lean harder into military dictatorship. A successful ruler, but not to the average citizen.
>>289682423Thinking back to Chrollo vs Hisoka, Chrollo talks about the real thrill of Skill Hunter being the exploration and contrast between the two identities, the thief and victim, and how he makes the an ability his own.Maybe the upgrade will, with heavy conditions, let Chrollo adjust or alter an ability of his choosing. Manipulating vow and limitations?Imagine he has an ability that's really great but he knows he can elevate it through one simple change.
>>289682458>if you don't obey the law you get executed>no more legal serial killings>no more industrialized rape>not allowed to operate a nationstate level mafia drug empireAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE SAVE ME KURAPIKA SAMA FROM THIS HORRIBLE FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!
>>289675626I read about it in the 2 million year old paper
>>289682479The last time we had a character like that, he kept on insisting on summoning a Berserker for the Holy Grail War he's in. He's still widely mocked by his community to this day.
>>289682505>the insane corrupt cartel of the V5 will be taught a lesson >kakin will ascend to #1 and do what it wants, including exploring the DC
Will Killua develop time dilation black hole powers in the future?
>>289682079Halk is going all the way to the endgame, I believe in him.
>>289682562His body is already dead.
>>289682579His spirit will be joined with benjamin's god form.
Halk should fail this batch or the next. His thing is played out. It will also simplify the playing field
Ben will realize its over for him and transfer all his resources to Fuguetsu (because she is cute) this is how Rihan will continue to be relevant
Sex with shota Illumi
>>289682127>and Palm's clairvoyance let her know where anyone was on demand, before morphing into Wink BlueSlight retcon by Togashi here. Her ability did that initially but was later stated to still require eye confirmation like it did after her transformation into an ant. So finding Gon/Killua/Biscuit doesn't really make sense anymore. Otherwise, Palm could have just used clairvoyance on Meruem and the royal guard without all the extra risk.
What does Hisoka hunt? Kids?
>>289682628I would take Kalluto cock up my ass and scream like a whore getting killed.
>>289682705He hunts for love, pure and vanilla. Through murder, which is the only way he knows how.
>>289682705Fights
>>289682705Battle.
>>289682259Neon sorta, she doesn't know she's using nen but she had the desire to write fortunes for people to make them happy, unwittingly made a vow, and it manifested into an actual ability. She had to have initially been kinda deluded before she found out they're true.
>>289682775>rihan vs shonentard
>>289682544I don’t see any mechanism in the nen system that would allow him to do that.
>>289682808HxH used to be a manga with exciting fights and kinetic action spread throughout the story. Old Togashi would've shown Kanjidol being beaten in a martial arts display.
>>289682806Does Komugi count?
>>289682324>>289682360It seemed like many creatures like the Ai have so much raw aura that they can do crazy things, next to their biological abilities.>>289682504I reckon it'd be book-themed, like how he's got bookmark. So yeah maybe he'd have a quill to edit abilities in his book, the way people write or highlight notes into books.
>analyze, destroy, recreateFMA's ability must do all of these.
>shit actually happening in hxh
>The person who cursed me hid his identity! The only person who'd want to do that is BeyondIs this manga for real?
>>289682845I don't think Komugi's deluded, since she probably started off being good at gungi. I think it's when there were stakes via the tournaments, that she decided to bet her life on the game for motivation, turning into an ability.>>289682887That's awesome Bloster came back
Methinks the final boss fight of HxH will be offscreen just like Yusuke vs Yomi.
>>289682866>I reckon it'd be book-themedIt's going to be one of those old-school library loan cards because Chrollo intends to make Skill Hunter a post-mortem loan ability kept within the troupe.
>>289682904>t. beyondyou cant fool me, nigger
>>289682908We need a straight shooter that will just open up on people he's suspicious of.
>>289682796>>289682800Why does he almost exclusively fight no name shitters then
>>289679424Killua's had some character growth. He is no longer murderhobo. Illumi will never not be murderhobo.
>>289682969For the majority of the manga's runtime he's been trying to get a fight with chrollo. That's what he's doing in York new, GI and after.
>>289682679Shit, I guess he really did make a mistake. Well, finding Gon and Killua after they escaped from her makes sense, but yeah, finding Bisky doesn't. I could headcanon that she can also find people connected to who she's seen, but I'll have to concede Togashi made a mistake. That's actually a tad glaring, certainly more than GRANDPA'S DRAGON DIVE. Maybe 18 years from now we'll get a Palm flashback that clears it up.
>>289682887Pariston will hire Bloster to lead the Chimera Ant shocktroopers he stockpiled. Bloster will accept, but only because Pariston would unleash them on NGL otherwise.
>>289682904>hid his identityThis is a misconception brought from the Viz translation. Beyond is concealing the target of the curse, not himself. FMA does not automatically reveal the source of a Nen Attack.>Boot up FMA>Nen Attack Alert>The Curse is concealing its target, high level stuff>The Curses appearance coincides perfectly with the Seed Urn Ritual>Someone who is both an adept Nen user and has a vested interest in Kakin's affairsand thus
>>289683038Bloster would body everyone on the whale except the absolute top tiers
>>289682904Furykov clearly has known Beyond for a long time and hates his guts. He's biased, but he was correct. Plus, there aren't many people who'd know about the succesion contest, who know about the ritual and who would be in the position to curse Furykov.
>>289683054? Where the fuck is this from
i dont get itcan someone explain to me as if i was a one piece readerthanks
>>289682302Kurapika huh? >dies instantlyHeh. Nothing personnel, kusari-yaro.
>>289682241I think you may be on to something here. It would be a huge moment for Kurapika if he finds out every Kakin royal (including Oito) was somehow involved in the Kurta massacre.
>>289682458Wasn't it said he'd try to conquer other nations?
>>289680992what's the difference between greedy and indulgent?
>>289683133Wing means that just looking at Kurapika, both in how physically drained he became at the end of Yorknew, and in how dangerous and inflexible his abilities are, is proof that Gon shouldn't try to imitate him. Conditions and limitations aren't something to fuck with and Gon shouldn't be rash in making an ability that relies on them.Wing was right to warn Gon. Killua also warned him of the same.
>>289683133Beeyoyoyoyo! That Man!Long Ago!The Mythical Transmuter... Exists!Merurururururururu!Zoan Zushi!Paramecia Padaille!Logia Ladiolus and Lizlura!En... Awaken!
>>289683264I'd say greed is more about wanting and taking things you want, whereas indulgence is more about being hedonistic and being consumed by your desires.
>>289683054Sex
>>289683264A greedy individual has an acute and painful awareness of what others have, they want to take, take, take.An indulgent individual has a self-absorbed pleasure in what is theirs, it is a given that this or that belongs to them, the world ought to be on their platter.Can be hedonistic
>>289682391I don't think every single rumbling needs an explanation or POV shot to see how it happened.The only really important one is the last where he wanted to experiment.
>>289683365>>289683310So the difference between a Jew and an American, got it.
>>289683272>how physically drainedhow much of it is because of emperor time versus his method of getting a strong ability?or perhaps his method led to him choosing a physically draining abilitybut then again he was born with the kekai genkai scarlet eyes so isnt he bound to have emperor time whenever he learns nen?>inflexible his abilities arei can see this for the chain jail but for the others (dowsing, heart piercer), they seem to be op, no?
>>289683422There's no difference there though
>>289683000If I had to guess, creating clairvoyance like that without any restrictions beyond a little blood and a crystal ball was just too much for the story. Neon's ability was well balanced from both a narrative perspective but also a nen perspective. It only focused on averting bad fates and the information it gave could be vague, which is why the Troupe needed to corroborate multiple fortunes to understand what was going to happen and when. Neon/Chrollo not being able to read fortunes also kept the out of the loop. When Palm first shows up she could basically know anything at any time. Changing it to the new rules brings her in line with previous and later powers. Since her ability is a lo like Musse's, it's more likely she uses emissions to extender her senses and looking at someone is her form of Marking, like how touching is used for Rear Window. It also allows her to have more intrigue as it led to her being in the palace at all.
>>289683200We know that the festival takes place every few years and the last one was a year before the ship's departure. Given the massacre happens when Kurapika is around Gon and Killua's age, I speculated the event happened every 4-5 years. If you add that Risnorth died 10 years ago, I theorise that one of the kakin mafia families connected to him helps setting up the rape festival, investigated his death and figured someone from Meteor City was responsible. This may sound a bit ridiculous, but my guess is that the mafia used Sheila to locate the kurta village. I can go into more detail of what I mean by this if you want, of course

>>289683431>but then again he was born with the kekai genkai scarlet eyes so isnt he bound to have emperor time whenever he learns nen?I don't think so. It appears all Kurta become Specialists when their eyes turn scarlet, but the ability itself was Kurapika's own creation.>i can see this for the chain jail but for the others (dowsing, heart piercer), they seem to be op, no?Dowsing is good support, but it's no game changer and a normal conjurer ability. Holy Chain would likely have much worse healing outside Emperor Time, since it relies on enhancement. Judgment Chain may or may not need Kurapika to inform you of the rules you can't break, but regardless, he can only use it during Emperor Time. And the physical toll already made Kurapika dizzy just from the Uvogin fight, which can't have been long. Hours knocked him out for two days, though the stress of the situation surely didn't help.In addition to all that, Scarlet Eyes are a biological feature that Kurapika is forcing active. Think about that. He's forcing something that normally only activates via anger to turn on at will. That cannot be healthy. Rage is a tiring emotion as is. Kurapika's either making himself mad every time, or he's learned from muscle memory how to activate the eyes without getting mad, which would still drain him.All in all, Kurapika's abilities are incredibly short-sighted. He speedran becoming a one-man army against one group, and half his abilities don't work without placing himself under psychological and/or physical strain.

>>289681076Halkenburg pls..
All bias' aside, can someone please explain to me why Machi's so eager to kill Hisoka by herself, or why Chrollo let everyone split up to kill Hisoka, when realistically only Chrollo stands a chance? Doesn't Hisoka shitstomp everyone else individually? Phinks and Feitan outright acknowledge this fact, so why? If the plan was for everyone to split up to just gather on Hisoka's whereabouts then yeah it makes sense, but why encourage everyone else to fight him on sight?
>>289683533>>289683669I used to think the older pervert character archetype was silly as a kid. There was no way someone would be so shameless as to carry around a porn mag and read it in front of everyone all the time. Now I stare at scantily dressed women in bikinis on my phone during work for as long as I can get away with it. I'll carry conversations with people while ogling Instagram models. I understand it now.
>>289683756That's just not how the spiders operate. They don't travel together as a large group much at all throughout the whole series, to both their benefit and detriment.
>>289683044>Beyond is concealing the target of the curse, not himselfFair enough, although with concealing the other target, I could see reasons why you'd want to do it. For example two targets are chosen at random, something happens when they meet as a condition, or something like that. Or when they don't meet (one has to find the other), etc. Random targeting is something that would mostly occur to someone who thinks in terms of games though.
>>289683756>when realistically only Chrollo stands a chance? Doesn't Hisoka shitstomp everyone else individually?>Phinks and Feitan outright acknowledge this fact, so why?How come clownfags are always so confidently retarded and the biggest speedreaders?
>>289683756He has too much faith in his team even after Uvogin's death and it's gonna be the reason why his whole team's dead by the end of this arc. Also you forgot Illumi
>>289682447No. I legit think we are watching the opposite. We're watching a trusted advisor turn into a rat.

>>289683949Illumi is the most obvious traitor ever and I cannot fucking believe Togashi made Chrollo stupid enough to let him join it's just so dumb it's unbelievable

>>289684012Hisoka not dying to Gon would be insanely stupid, imo he's the least likely to die
>>289683756That's some terrible reading comprehension. What they're saying is that if they outnumber Hisoka, they'll be able to kill him before he has a chance to do anything or escape.The two of them are also basically babysitting Nobunaga because Hisoka hard counters him. One use of Bungee Gum to take away his sword, and it's over. If your opponent is a master Nen user, it's only natural to treat them with caution. No one aside from Nobunaga, Bonolenov and Shizuku is losing their sleep over Hisoka.
>>289684105Hisoka dying to Gon would be insanely stupid
>>289683925If Hisoka and any Troupe member switched places, this arc would make no fucking sense.Feitan vs all the other Spiders + Hisoka? No one would take Feitan seriously.Chrollo is the only one who would make sense, because Chrollo is the only one on Hisoka's level.

>>289684143>>289684158Hisoka dying to the Troupe is dogshit, he isn't Kurapika
>>289684105>anon believes the Hisoka vs Gon rematch will happenlol lmao even
>>289680917>Melody x KurapikaBased.Only worthy woman to repopulate Kurta clan.
>>289684185>Hisoka's role in the story is mostly over.
>>289684194false dilemma
>>289684131>No one aside from Nobunaga, Bonolenov and Shizuku is losing their sleep over HisokaChrollo himself says he needs a "national treasure worthy ability" in order to defeat Hisoka.He's also saying he may die if he faces Hisoka unprepared.There are two types of Troupe members:- those who fear and respect Hisoka;- deluded retards who will get brutally clowned.
>>289684156Kek look at this ESL clownfag. Next time write that in english
>>289684105What even is Gon's relationship to Hisoka at this point, given his fucked up morality and the fact that he's actually helped them out a bunch? Does Gon still hate him, fear him, pity him?
>>289684247First refute that post.
>>289684105Hisoka is dying to Illumi, maybe Machi. Very unlikely to die to Chrollo. Dying to Gon is not happening.
>>289684263Gon 100% does not even think about him, he's big chillin' on whale island
>>289682259 yes being a retard is a massive power boost if your ability isn't just punching
Hisoka dies to Kurapika.Chrollo dies to Nasubi.
>>289684266>first refuse my headcanon>Hisoka only defeated jobbers so far>got manhandled by Kastro and RazorLmao, I don't need to refute shit. I actually read the manga, unlike you clownfags.
>>289684263Gon views him as a very weird friend, he has absolutely no reason to hate on Hisoka aside from him being a pedo, but that's obviously going to change when Hisoka does something awful to spark a deathmatch in the future.
>>289684194Unless Togashi goes for a complete subversion, it's very clear how those characters will conclude their arcs.Hisoka will finally kill Chrollo, Machi will want revenge, and then Hisoka will finally gets the 1v1 he wants, with both of them dying in their battle.Hisoka has no place in the DC.>>289684272Illumi is the next best candidate, but Hisoka and Illumi can't "love each other to death" because Illumi is still tied to Killua.
>HISOKA WILL DIE TO THE SPIDERS!!!Togashi literally brought the fucker back to life after dying to said Spiders, having him die to them again when he's only on this boat hunting the fuckers because he's genuinely just bored is ridiculously retarded.
>>289684343>Hisoka will finally kill Chrollo, Machi will want revenge, and then Hisoka will finally gets the 1v1 he wants, with both of them dying in their battle.That's like the most generic and boring outcome imaginable.
>>289684263>cries about the spiders killing people >best friend as an assassin >pal'd around with a literal serial killer on greed island just because he was useful >threaten to murder KomugiGon has 0 actual morales and will ignore people's evil deeds if it will benefit him or he personally likes the person
Who will be the one to redeem Hisoka and teach him to make friends without destroying them?
>>289684315For starters Kastro would maul to death half of the Spiders with ease.Secondly, Hisoka owned Razor under Razor's ideal circumstances.
Thinking more about it. Why can't Kurapika at least confirm whether the real Wobles is on the ship or not with dowsing chain? He could pinpoint Neon with just a map and he's even met the real Wobles if contact or proximity is a condition for this function of dowsing chain. He could have Oito request a map of the black whale and at least verify the baby isn't there.
>>289684408NORMALsoka the WELL ADJUSTED? a hero trying to take down evil terrorists
>>289684399>most generic and boring outcome imaginableYeah,Chrollo and Hisoka should be fodderized by Rihan instead
>>289683756He's probably around the same level as the fighters in the troupe but they just don't want to give him a chance.
>>289684433Because Dowsing Chain is limited in its divination capabilities. It comes from Kurapika's unconscious.Kurapika has nothing to work with in this case.
>>289684413>he needs to make up more headcanons to feel good about the pedoclownKWAB
>>289684433Togashi forgot
>>289684444>4444Holy shit
>>289684454>tfw Predator takes the form of Mister Clean whose aura is Industrial Grade Solvent
Gon is Australian.
>>289683925I think clownfags either self-insert as him for some reason or just want to fuck him
>>289684408Melody will teach him value of human life through music>>289684444Another 4444 get for the clownchads.
>>289684444>quad 4's BASED. HEROsoka can still be redeemed. He's just a guy that has killed a few people here and there. It's not like he's one of those foul K*kin royals with their Carne Levare nasty business
>>289684468>It comes from Kurapika's unconscious.How would Kurapika's unconscious know where Neon was when she was missing for hours? I know his lie detection relies on his unconscious mind but this is a different application we've seen work beyond his perception. >>289684479I think it's another retcon like the palm clairvoyance change.
>>289684413All he did was stick the ball (that Gon threw) to Razor's wrists when he tried to receive itIt was also an actual 6v1
>>289682961He'd end the contest in a few hours.>>289682928kek I bet some of the readers won't even know what this is, that'd honestly be a great throwback, and it makes sense that Chrollo would find a way to permanently maintain the spider. Using these abilities could involve adherence to its rules, so it doesn't simply die once the meteor city OGs are killed.
>>289682928This would be kino, but wouldn't anyone that already has an ability overload their nen with such a complicated hatsu tacked on to their kit?
>>289684433because confirming Woble is on the ship right now is his worse possible move. He has no means to actually go down to lower tiers and secure Woble. Nor does he have the autority to demand Woble if she is on the upper tiers.
do anklebiters ever get tired of trying to nitpick some minor detail as if it would actually affect anything and then getting btfo anyway
>>289684548It will be Chrollo's post mortem nen that will be handing the aura load.
>>289684541>All he did was stick the ball (that Gon threw) to Razor's wristsAnd you say you read the manga. Pathetic.
>>289684527>How would Kurapika's unconscious know where Neon was when she was missing for hours?Intuition. He knew the city, he knew Neon, the circumstances of how she fled, and why, etc.
>>289684612>proves me right???
>>289684579>because confirming Woble is on the ship right now is his worse possible moveHe doesn't have to tell Babimyna or even get Woble. But he also is intending to have Gon and Killua protect the child, a child he could verify is not on the ship so that plan actually has merit. So if Woble's is on the ship, he could contact Mizaistrom and have him get the child if on the lower deck, or even another Zodiac if Woble's is on Tier 2. Worst case is that the real Woble's is in Nasubi's room because he knew about the swap and is holding the child himself. >>289684629You and I both know that "intuition" doesn't explain how he predicted where she was at when she got picked up by Chrollo and taken to the Cemetary Building. All Kurapika knew was that she snuck out at some train station and was missing for hours. His ability however found her location within seconds.
>>289684444Good god. Look at dem digits.
>>289684433I actually can't think of an answer. He didn't even seem to be in Emperor Time when he used that function of Dowsing Chain. Only possibility that comes to me is that finding out if Woble is on the mainland isn't enough. Protecting her from the curse or any officers trying to find her there is also of utmost importance. Sending the letter, as well as Gon and Killua, is riskier, but gets the job done immediately. It is true that there's no time to waste in this situation.
>>289684639Hisoka redirected the ball that came from Razor's massive Ko.
>>289684662>You and I both know that "intuition" doesn't explain how he predicted where she was at when she got picked up by Chrollo and taken to the Cemetary BuildingShe literally went to the building the next auction would take place.It wasn't exactly a shot in the dark from Kurapika.
>>289684677That ball was thrown by Gon as I've previously said, Razor just bounced it back
>>289684044Chrollo has worked with Illumi before and knows he's professional, same case with letting Hisoka join. Difference is, Illumi has that contract to hunt Hisoka.
Is Biscuit still a virgin?
>>289684573>but wouldn't anyone that already has an ability overload their nen with such a complicated hatsu tacked on to their kit?No, because it's Chrollo's nen that maintains Skill Hunter even after death. This is no different than the recent trend of Loan-type abilities like Stealth Dolphin or Moonlight Act. And Skill Hunter actually works just fine as a post mortem totem because all the rules for it's usage revolve around the book itself. >>289684548>I bet some of the readers won't even know what this isI have fond memories of stamping those cards myself.
>>289684721she molests all her students
>>289684721No one in HxH is physically strong enough to penetrate her
>>289684766But she didn't do anything to Killua and Gon.
>>289684721Cookie-chan has a hidden mode where he transforms into a muscular stud. You do the math
>>289684788every time she taught them they were under time constraints. if they became her proper students she would rape them
Why did Bisky initally want to ruin Gon and Killua's friendship? She's nearly 60 and they're like 13What the fuck is her problem?
>>289682309>>289682324>>289682360>>289682866My headcannon is that Togashi is going to burrow / inspure himself / steal from Shinsekai Yori. Magical beasts and the dark continent magical mega fauna is a byproduct of humanity subconscious nen.All their fears, nightmares and horror is subconsciously projected outwards and affect some creatures natural evolutive process creating all sort of abominations with supernatural capabilities.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMA_xB1nA0s
>>289684809for fun because she's a sadist. nen masters are not normal well-adjusted people if you haven't noticed
>>289684711>She literally went to the building the next auction would take place.The whole reason Kurapika even suggested the map was after it was discovered Neon got bounced by security. In other words, he had no way of knowing she was able to gain access to that building and was assuming she would be somewhere else nearby. None of this is explained just by intuition.
>>289684839The dowsing chain is obviously inspired by dowsing and radiesthesia. It seem to be a supernatural trait of the materialized chain, so trying to explain it through bare enhancement or something like that will fall short.But there are probably some unknown preconditions to make the prediction useful, maybe Kurapika needs more info on Wooble or something like that.
Biscuit is OWED sex. Remember this.
>>289684400Killua renounced his ways and only killed people threatening him. If you're talking about Hisoka, Gon opposed recruiting Hisoka, but Bisky arranged it. Komugi, as far as he knew, was aligned with the ants that killed his mentor, so he had direct business with them. He asked Chrollo why he could kill people on an impersonal basis the way he does, he could've asked Killua but he knew Killua couldn't do that, while Chrollo can. No offense to you, but le Gon is a psychopath is such a bullshit trend in the broader fandom.
>>289684900I will pay my debt
>>289684668Kys cucked shipper
>>289684893I just think looking at Palm's previously Omniscient clairvoyance gives us the most rational answer. Togashi retcons abilities without drawing attention to them so Kurapika just lost the ability to track people with dowsing chain because it makes for a less interesting story. Instead it focuses purely on lie detection with the wrinkle being that people who don't know they are lying can also pass which works better for an information control focused arc. The only conceivable restrictions would have to be contact or proximity to the person he is tracking going off similar abilities. Even on Greed Island when Tsezguerra's guy had a radar for Genthru's crew. Those parties had interacted in the past as well as the robbery Genthru made when trading cards. So that fullfills the only logical conditions for a tracking ability. This isn't a big deal, it's just something I noticed when thinking back. The story is more interesting if Kurapika can't tell if Woble's is on the boat than if he knew at least that.
>>289685033As an enhancer Palm have good efficiency with Emission.As we know emission is the nen that rules over teletransportation and spatial relationship.My guess is that clairvoyance and scrying is an emission ability.
>>289684920I meant the scissors guy on greed island, he is a straight up serial killer and Gon looks past this because hes useful for training
>>289684662>He doesn't have to tell Babimyna or even get Woble. You don't understand. Its like how Oito not knowing where Woble is was her greatest defense. Until Kurapika has means to secure Woble, he doesn't want to know where Woble is.
>>289684817So is the dark continent a conjuration or an emitter ability?
>>289684839Regardless of the details, Kurapika's unconscious had a lot to work with.In Woble's case, he has nothing.
>>289685074>You don't understand.I do understand. Right now Kurapika is trying to verify through a very risky plan of contacting someone on the mainland that Woble's is safe and not on the ship so he can have his own people take her into custody. Why would it be less risky to confirm she isn't on the boat at all if he has the right ability for the job? And in a way that is much faster while still having the ability to communicate to capable people like the Cow for protection services? >>289685091>Regardless of the details,The details matter. He had no way to know where Neon was and still found her. This clearly goes beyond just using intuition as an argument.
>>289679367Illumi literally has the mindset of a bug.Even as an assassin, you should possess some degree of humanity.
>>289685072My argument would still apply, he was following Bisky's direction because she was his master, he doesn't go out of his way to befriend these people, which is why he's typically on guard around Hisoka.>>289684363Hisoka's also been a sort of side protag for much of the manga, he's probably going to fight either Chrollo or Machi in some eternal battle by achieving quasi immortality via nen, so he gets what he wants but it's also kind of a hell that he happens to delight in.
>>289685090It is a nen ritual byproduct of all nen types.Every human on not-earth have nen potential.The subconscious nen potential carry over all their fears and nightmares and subconsciously give shape to the dark continent.Basically humanity subconsciously execute a gigantic mega nen ritual that creates the dark continent and the magical beasts.That's more or less part of the plot of Shin Sekai Yori, replacing nen by ESP.
>>289685033I don't think Kurapika even met the real Woble, while he spent several days with Neon and had reason to think of her as a priority for tracking. If there were any preconditions we don't know about with the chain to use it to find someone, it's pretty reasonable he could have achieved them with her.
>>289684920>le Gon is a psychopath is such a bullshit trend in the broader fandom.NTA but making excuses for Gon is no better. Killua only told Gon he ran away because he didn't feel like doing what his family wants, nothing about the conversation implied Killua quit for good and he didn't show any regret. Gon did not care.Gon doesn't like Hisoka, but that's because Hisoka is a jerk who hurt his pride.Gon did not even for a second think about or give a shit about whether or not Komugi was a collaborator. He thought Pitou was hurting a human, which reminded him of Kite, and then when it was confirmed she was being healed, after Killua told Gon she was probably the third party that had been discussed, he only gave Pitou an hour to save her life because it was unfair that she was showing kindness after killing his friend. And then used that healed girl as a hostage.He asked Chrollo how he can kill random people because to Gon it didn't make any sense that you can do that while mourning your own, it has nothing to do with Killua and everything with Gon's naive, hypocritical nature. Gon already decided he liked Killua and was his friend. Chrollo fits neither of those and is part of a group he assumed were emotionless killers.Why does this have to be one or the other? Normal guy or psycho? Gon doesn't care about conventional morality, only what he's interested in and what he likes. Painting him in either black or white is silly, the whole point is he can be both the best and worst of people.
>>289685206Well that could explain why there's dinosaurs and other creatures that may be considered extinct, could get really cerebral with exploring human fears and all that
>>289682049He probably doesn't take her seriously as a threat, and thinks he can leave siblings like her for last.
>>289685248This, I wasn't say gon is a psycho, hes a hypocrite like most people
>>289685151Sex
>>289685150>He had no way to know where Neon was and still found herHe had a way. That's my point.
>>289685248adding to this, Gon did not give a fuck about hurting Killua hands in dodgeball
Is a conjurer just a specialist with extra steps? It seems like it's possible to conjure just about anything with the ability X where X can even be stuff outside of standard nen categories.
>>289685229>I don't think Kurapika even met the real WobleHe literally held her. He confirms this with Oito. The switch happened after she left that hotel. >If there were any preconditions we don't know about with the chain to use it to find someone, it's pretty reasonable he could have achieved them with her.Musse confirms that touching once is a condition. Palm confirms that seeing the target once is also a condition. Kurpika fulfilled both of those with the only other caveat being he needs a map to pinpoint a location. This isn't that hard anon, he should be able to tell if Wobles is on the ship or not. >>289685318Then I find your point wrong because I've explained how his intuition cannot explain how he knew she go past the security thanks to Chrollo and made it into the auction building properly.
>>289685322Him fucking Killua's hands is stretching it, that was a show of trust.
>>289685342>musse confirms>palm confirmsconditions aren't universal
>>289685150Killua and Gon are literal means to secure the baby. That whole plan is contingent on Gon and Killua being trustworthy and compotent. He cannot trust the Justice department, they are already using a prince as a hostage. If Kurapika, Cow and Biscuit were standing in a room together and were like "lets go get this fucking baby", that is a good means to collect Woble. Everything else is not a tenable solution.
>BenjaminConfirmed didn't participate in the carnivals.>CamillaOnly attracted to herself.>Zhang LeiParticipated.>TserriednichOnly enjoys himself with highly educated women, thus he never participated.>TubeppaScience autist, never participated.>TysonOnly enjoys roleplay, probably didn't participate.>LuzurusStaying high for too long gave him erectile dysfunction, didn't participate.>Salé-SaléOnly enjoys consentual sex, didn't participate.>HalkenburgLived abroad, probably never heard of the carnivals.>Kacho>Fugetsu>Momoze>Marayam>WobleToo young to attend.Only Zhang Lei kept the tradition alive.
>>289685376>conditions aren't universalSome actually are though. Teleportation abilities require warping. Even related abilities like Greed island flight cards, or Fuugetsu's magical door fullfill this condition. The GI cards require that a set location or the user having encountered a GI player to warp to. Fuugesu's GSB is likely the worm that was shown threading itself around the ship so that's how she got to the lower tiers in the first place when she used her ability. >>289685395>He cannot trust the Justice department,Mizai is not a member of he justice department. >If Kurapika, Cow and Biscuit were standing in a room together and were likeMizai was able to communicate a plan to help the princes escape to Melody just fine. Kurapika can do literally the same using hunter code. There's no excuse to not confirming Woble's is on the ship with a previously shown usage of dowsing chain beyond Togashi retconning it out of the plot.
>>289685450>Teleportation abilities require warping*marking. They require marking.
>>289684086>tougher than Franklin >larger nen reserves than Franklin >more proactive than Franklin>has mobility tech>isn't afraid of closed spaces Bloster mogs.
>>289685473Chrollo teleported Nobunaga without any apparent marking.It's also a stretch to call the Goreinus markings.
Where can I find all the HxH digital volumes in Japanese?
>>289685534On nyaa.
>>289685529>Chrollo teleported Nobunaga without any apparent marking.He moved a person he's interacted with plenty of times, to a spot they were already at. That's very obviously marking under known terms>It's also a stretch to call the Goreinus markings.This one is even easier. Each gorilla is the mark itself. One swaps places with a different person, one swaps with Goreinu himself.
>>289685374There is an element of trust but more pressingly Gon is Killua's first ever Best Friend. Killua has for the first time developed a precious bond that only a short while ago was nigh impossible for him to imagine.This is precious to Killua, and he'll do just about anything to protect it, even if it hurts him.Whether or not Gon knows it, he abused Killua's loyalty and love. Because Killua would rather die than let down friend.
>>289685151licky lick the Neferpitou (respectfully)
Imagine not being a specialist. Imagine being cucked right from the very start by the nen system.
>>289685427Agreed
>>289685450Mizaistom is literally an acting member of the Justice Department. The last time we saw him he was accepting the King's letter for the Justice Department. Kurapika cannot fully trust him.
>>289685605a little boring that togashi just created a category for 'i'm too lazy to make something fit an existing category' in his power system.
>>289685668>Mizaistom is literally an acting member of the Justice DepartmentAnd he worked against the justice system when he encouraged Melody to have two princes escape. This is not an argument anon>The last time we saw him he was accepting the King's letter for the Justice Department.Getting a letter does not mean he accepts the rules and can't break them when we previously saw he was perfectly fine doing it. There is no reason for Kurapika not to trust him in this situation if Woble's is on the lower tier.
>>289685248>NTA but making excuses for Gon is no betterI can see how what I said comes off like excuses, but you're not really connecting it to what I was replying to, my point was that the situations were more nuanced than Gon having zero morality. And frankly, having anything to say about Gon being a psychopath is objectively better than the usual circlejerk. With that said, Gon was raised with good morals from Aunt Mito, and Togashi himself said he wrote Gon to be like a son you'd like to have, his subversion comes from shonen protags who are so ambitious to the extent that they could just as easily be like villains.>Killua only told Gon he ran away because he didn't feel like doing what his family wantsSo he wasn't a killer anymore because he didn't want to, that was enough for Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika, the latter 2 who even defended Killua after he killed an examinee because they recognized he wasn't a bad person.>Gon doesn't like Hisoka, but that's because Hisoka is a jerk who hurt his pride.It's not like he overlooks what Hisoka's like either>it was unfair that she was showing kindness after killing his friendThat was a fair crashout because he was upset seeing his mentor brutalized and wasn't aware Pitou's morality changed, and my point still applies, Komugi was aligned with the ants. He gave a reasonable amount of time for Pitou to stabilize her and calmed down after, he needed to negotiate with Pitou to heal Kite, he only knew them to be ruthless and operate like actual ants, which only care about their colony, an appeal to humanity wasn't going to make Pitou do shit.>Why does this have to be one or the other?I could ask you the same thing since you're making a case that Gon is just selfish, that is likely another of Togashi's subversions that the guy who'll do anything for his friends may not necessarily do things for other people, but Gon still picks good company to begin with because of his morality
>>289685298Nah you're backtracking after saying he has 0 morality>>289685322>>289685566Killua is also willing to put himself in harm's way, like the hunter exam and heaven's arena, so Gon would trust Killua to handle it even if it's hard, just as he does for situations like Genthru.
ENGLISH SUBS ARE OUTArabCHADS interview with Yahagi Kousuke, former editor for Hunter x Hunter and Naruto, and current General Manager in Shueisha.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGkEUXEYPrgDo not proceed to watch until replying to this post with "Moushi Wake Gozaimasen Arabs, You were the true Hunterchads all along. -t. Anglocuck MTL reader"
>>289685783Just take the L kid
>>289685566You're being too dramatic. Killua is guilty of his own relationship crimes for these very reasons, and that has nothing to do with Gon. Making everything about Gon's genuine crisis now having to revolve around Killua and how bad it makes him feel is peak female thinking tho. So good job outing yourself
>>289685450That some conditions are consistent in application, doesn't mean that they are all that is required. A simple condition to add to an ability would be a time limit. Another as far as the dowsing chain, considering other uses involve intuition, it could require some level of knowledge about the target. Kurapika knew Neon wanted to go to the auction, and thus the only surprising thing is that it discovered was that she managed to get through security.I'm not saying this is absolutely not a retcon, just that if the ability is needed later Togashi can make up a reason consistent with everything presented in the story for it not to work in this case but to have worked with Neon.
>>289683704Chrissy is a Transmuter and Paulie is an Emitter.Tony could be an Enhancer.
>>289685815>That some conditions are consistent in application, doesn't mean that they are all that is requiredI think I've made a strong care for contact or proximity being necessary for marking. And for Togashi letting some powers that border on omniscient, only to get dialed back via retcon existing. >considering other uses involve intuitionThis caveat only existed in the post-election arc. As far as we knew in York Shin, Dowsing Chain just knew if someone was lying or not without fault. >Kurapika knew Neon wanted to go to the auctionHe also knew Neon had been sent away thanks to the increased security. He was trying to find out where she would have gone after that. Which could have been anywhere. She might have gone back to the hotel they were staying in, or she might have gone back to the train station she fled. >fust that if the ability is needed later Togashi can make up a reason consistent with everything presentedMy whole argument is that right now is that time and Togashi isn't using it despite the obvious utility of a tracking ability for a person Kurapika has held and seen with his own eyes.
>>289685605Considering this reveal, I do wonder if there are some characters we have seen, who were actually specialists, but squandered their potential. The only one that comes to mind though is Basho, and really his haiku might just not have shown their full potential.
>>289685813Gon was too busy being an enhancerChad to worry about Killua's gay crisis.Laying your life on the line for your friend comes without saying for him.
Hello everynyan good morning sirs
>>289680429Wtf?
>>289685968He also in this arc added in the conditions to Emperor Time that it takes lifespan. He seems to have seriously nerfed Kurapika this arc, but personally I just don't see not using an ability as nearly as big of a deal as you do.
>>289685702>And he worked against the justice system when he encouraged Melody to have two princes escape. This is not an argument anon I just don't see it anon. It seems super insane to me for Kurapika to call someone who works for the justice department and say "hey you know that fugitive Queen and her baby that broke kakin law? Well she is in room 444 on tier 5, please pick her up for me"
>>289685993I'm saying everything does not revolve around Killua at all times even if he feels shitty. If he wants something it's his fucking responsibility to say so, not Gon's job to figure out what that is
Kurapika really feels like he has squandered his talent desu. His current skillset seems pretty weak compared to Killua.
>>289684444soka is a quadruple star spider hunter
>>289685968>Which could have been anywhere. She might have gone back to the hotel they were staying in, or she might have gone back to the train station she fled.It couldn't have been ANYWHERE, that's the point.You yourself listed some possible locations she could have gone to.That's why Kurapika needed a map. Based on every minute information his unconscious had, he arrived at the answer.In a situation where he would have zero info, it's possible the chain would never find a hit.Ask yourself why he didn't know who was the owner of thar scarlet eyes collection until Mizaistom told him. He didn't have enough info to work with.
So, is really there a prince who's Beyond's child or not? With this chapter and all that crap about him mixing truths with lies, I don't know what to think.
>>289686174What? He’s the most overpowered character in the manga relative to his experience? He destroyed one of the best enhancers in the series.Emperor time makes him busted.
>>289686303He's only good against spiders
>>289686139>It seems super insane to me for Kurapika to call someone who works for the justice departmentMizai works for the hunter's association with no implied long-term allegiances to Kakin beyond making sure this boat doesn't sink. >>289686130>He also in this arc added in the conditions to Emperor Time that it takes lifespanKurapika found Neon without emperor time though. > just don't see not using an ability as nearly as big of a deal as you do.I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm autistically driven to reply to people who don't have good arguments against the story not using his power either. >>289686189>It couldn't have been ANYWHERE, that's the point.It could. His intuition settled on the least likely which is that Neon got past police security after Light himself made sure to get the police actively looking for her. >That's why Kurapika needed a mapIntuition does not explain how he figured out her final location when there are now 3 very viable and likely spots among the myriad others that could have happened. She could have gone to a coffee shop out of anger or been stuck in traffic after her Cab was turned away. >Ask yourself why he didn't know who was the owner of thar scarlet eyes collection until Mizaistom told him.Based on everything I've said and believe. He cannot track someone he has never met before. Especially post-election arc where Dowsing chain has exclusively been used as a lie detector.
>>289686303>He destroyed one of the best enhancers in the series.A spider, yeah. Against other people and without using his eyes that literally kill him he's kind of just meh.
>>289686141Exactly, Killua is just being a geek overthinking it.Anyway he realized he was being too gay and clingy so he went off to learn how to be a family man by taking care of his retarded sibling.
>>289685427Why do people think that Tserrie wasnt participating often? Literal sadist and inflicting torment on the lower cast is in character. He probably went so often he got bored and went pretentious about it. That dude tortures women (even the stupidest get chopped into mince meat) for fun, he was most definitely attending more than once or atleast supervising through the old Hei-ly. Who says he didn’t pick the smartest of the bunch? His motto is to separate useful trash from useless trash, pretty in tune with what is happening there. Why would he not attend if everyone besides him is classified as trash anyway no matter your status? That guy screams carneval so loud it might as well be a red herring.
Is it just me, but anyone else kind of agree that the walls of text can be too much or annoying, yet it doesn’t really affect their enjoyment of the arc?I’m not sure if it’s because this arc ticks all the right boxes in my head, but I can read people complain about the text boxes, go “yea that’s a lot of text”, and still enjoy this shit. Everyone I see who likes this arc loves or pretends to love the text but aren’t there people who love it despite the text?
>>289682131Too soon bro I still haven't recovered
>>289686378It would be better if Togashi could concise the text but I don't see it as a make or break type of deal. Kurapika yapping is ultimately nothing compared to the story potentially being for fucked up by bad writing.I worry about that more than the walls of text. Like let's say Alluka ports in and ends the whole thing in a deus ex machina with none of the plotlines amounting to anything, that's way worse than Kurapika yapping for 3 chapters straight
>>289686321>Intuition does not explain how he figured out her final location when there are now 3 very viable and likely spots among the myriad others that could have happened. She could have gone to a coffee shop out of anger or been stuck in traffic after her Cab was turned awayYou don't seem to understand how intuition and the unconscious works.You're trying to arrive to the answer from a purely rational standpoint.The unconscious is much more powerful than that.There are documented cases of women, who have never met before, getting put into a trance state through hypnosis, not sharing a word, and then they both knew everything about each other. If they were married, divorced, whether they had kids, how many, etc.Dowsing Chain just taps into Kurapika's unconscious (which is many times more powerful than the conscious mind).
>>289682079The true Queen
>>289682156My nen vow is I won't eat Tacos on a Tuesday. This restriction increases my aura by 1000 times
>>289686536>You don't seem to understand how intuition and the unconscious works.I do>You're trying to arrive to the answer from a purely rational standpoint.I'm using the story's own logic and working within that>There are documented cases of womenI played 999 and understand all about the morphogentic field anon. That isn't presented as an argument for how Kurpapika could know where Neon was, but not use that same capability to find Wobles. You honestly don't see how your argument supports him just using his power to see if Woble's is on the boat.
>>289686488Same. Unlike people who hate this arc though, I think abnormally fast pacing just to get to more action and deaths would be a make or break for me. I hate when authors rush shit or ruin their setup for some magical carrot ruining all their buildup. And as someone who doesn’t read battle Shonen that much any more but loves drama and dialogue driven series I can deal with this lengthy buildup.
>>289686588But if I did have a critique: I think Togashi’s dialogue writing is much much more interesting than his internal thought writing. His internal thought writing is good enough but i prefer dialogue. And im afraid that marital law will have an abundance of internal thought pages. It would be annoying but again wouldn’t make or break the arc for me.
>>289682156
>>289679470>best in the way he was taughtthis lack of flexibility is the problem. >Literally does everything he's toldyea he cant command, he can follow orders. That sort of conservatism would make the family incredibly vulnerable.
>>289686588No one is asking for abnormally fast pacing. He was just better and having spaces where there is calm, and spaces where there's action before. Now the story is dominated by paranoia, frantic thinking and time slowing down. The actual events, kinetic happenings, are few and far between these thinking sessions. Characters are enormously more passive now than anywhere else in the manga. I prefer the old manga and the old Togashi
>>289686538Can Fugetsu have sex with her nen-sister?
>>289686688You need a guy like Illumi if you want the assassin business to keep going He knows his calling and he's good at it
>>289675626When will he get his redemption arc?
Would you rather bisky wag thr oar or kuraoika
>>289686688actually it seems the reason Illumi isn't liked within the family is because of his overreaching ambition.Kalluto and Milluki on the other hand are too complacent.
>>289686749Sure, as the top guy of the family head. Not AS the head.
I hope we get a panel of Balsimico getting discovered ded just tied up in a room. Everyone one sitting there like what the fuck are we looking at while some “next week I’ll think” mother fucker will go >someone has a body swapping power
>>289686749How many innocents can Illumi kill until someone like the Hunter association decides to hunt the Zoldyck family down though?
>>289686814>overreaching ambition.I wouldn't call it ambition in the sense of indivdualism or independence, but quite literally the contrary. It's the typical overzealousness of a "programmatical extremist", so absolutely incapable of thinking outside the box.
Hisoka will win Hunter x Hubter because bungie gum has the properties of both rubber and gum
>>289686872Big possible
>>289686866I'd say he's definitely thinking outside the box of when it comes to Alluka.While Silva and Zeno fear that power and rightfully try to keep it contained, Illumi lusts for it to the point he's even willing to turn "dear" Killua into just a needleman in order to obtain it.He's a control freak of the highest order which goes beyond what would be expected of a Zoldyck family head, an organization that deals only in assassination as a business.Illumi wouldn't settle for something like that.
>>289686872This is widely accepted
>>289686580>That isn't presented as an argument for how Kurpapika could know where Neon was, but not use that same capability to find WoblesKurapika held Woble once, while he knew Neon for a much longer time.Woble is a baby with no agency at all, in contrast to Neon with her very distinct personality.Woble is in a complete unknown location, presumably on a continental country Kurapika knows nothing about that.Neon was missing for a day, while it's been months since Kurapika saw the real Woble.Do you understand how much more limited in information Kurapika is here?It's not me who said Dowsing Chain works in mysterious ways based on Kurapika's unconscious.If someone is lying without knowing they are lying, Dowsing Chain won't pick up on that. The chain doesn't actually have supernatural capabilities. It's all Kurapika.If Chrollo stole Dowsing Chain, he would be able to arrive at answers about the other Troupe members that Kurapika wouldn't be able to.If Leol borrowed Dowsing Chain, he would be able to answer questions about the King and the Royal Guards that Kurapika wouldn't be able to.It's not that complicated.
anyone have the image of hisoka showing a card which is wrote 'read the manga' alonge with a greentext about the 2011 anime?
>>289685566Claiming that he's being abused is silly and shows lack of reading comprehension.Part of the conclusion of Killua's character arc is for him (and the reader) to accept that he's a Zoldyck and not some random kid. (Alluka chastises him for wanting to isolate Nanika)When Killua hopes to be normal he's running away from his situation and being delusional, he's not improving himself or shining light on his family in any sense.In other words, Killua isn't a cute labubu, when Gon asks him to hold the ball and mangle his hands he's respecting him for what he is, and not seeing him at surface level.You can even see this in CA, because it's the whole reason their friendship fractured, Gon tossed aside Killua's determination without care, and Killua (arguably) had an inner conflict with Gon's ruthlessness compared to his ideal.
>>289687188Thought that was Machi thumbnail
>>289687300Grmelins
>>289686856Probably hundreds of thousands
>>289686856It was unironically a matter of extreme importance warranting lethal force. Illumi was convinced that Killua was misusing alluka which could lead to disaster. >>289686815No objection there.
>>289687298>Gon tossed aside Killua's determination without careWhen was this
I don't like how Bobymima is becoming more and more pretty. This is Togashi's way of saying that he can beat Kurapika 1v1
>>289675626Milluki fapped to this
Milluki ozempic arc
>>289687464Killua was ready to ride and die against Pitou, and Gon from the beginning not even for one second had him in the picture.
>fat otaku who barley goes outside >asexual (?) sociopath >gay crybaby>trans weirdo >corssdresser Where did Silva go wrong?
>>289687723Probably when he started daily shocking their balls when they turned 3
>>289686723ghost sex is even better than regular sex
>>289687723which one of these is the mother again?
>>289687432A class B threat warranted the use of (basically) a nuke so a class A threat like Nanika probably would warrant even further measures.Illumi of course is not really in a position to explain that since he wants the Ai for himself.
>>289687723Turns out torturing children for years as "training" maybe wasn't the best idea.
>>289687723Kalluto somehow ends up the most normal, I think his character arc ends with him starting to wear boy clothes again
>>289687723When he stuck his dick in crazy
>>289687821I think Illumi might be the most crazed person in the show. This guy is fully on the “I will control a calamity ahahahaha” boat. No one else is even crazy enough to tempt fate like that.
>>289687636In a way "ride or die" is also just a delusional romantization, that Gon simply couldn't allow. He was in it for the kill. The determination Gon was thinking about is what let to Pitou*s death. Killua was just reality checked by Gon. Arguebly it was also a service of true friendship. Guy just was torn apart by self hatred and guilt and he was not willing to lower the meaning of it by sharing the burden unfairly (that burden sharing trope is psychological slop anyways).
>>289687907In some alternate world where Togashi was healthy, I could wisely see illumi being one of those >wait, he’s/she’s the final main antagonist? Options. Either him or Pariston.
>>289687723I'm not sure that Kalluto's kimono it really counts as crossdressing, barely if at all.
>>289687949I'd agree, but he didn't bother correcting a Chumera Ant who called him a girl. He seems to want to pass himself as one, probably to appeal to Killua but also due to his mom's influence.
>>289687723>asexual (?) sociopathIsn't Illumi a gay psychopath?
>>289687821>A class B threat warranted the use of (basically) a nuke so a class A threat like Nanika probably would warrant even further measuresA B threat already warrants for every measure. That's why the V5 wrote Netero a blank check.What separates an A and a B class threat is that the solution to an A class threat is unknown.
>>289687907He's willing to die as long as it serves his purposes.Out of the newer cast it feels like Halkenburg is the one guy who is willing to go as far as he does to reach his end game.Neither guy seems to give a shit what happens to them personally as long as the mission is accomplished.That's a tremendous advantage considering how nen functions.
>>289687723Milluki fucks his anime sex dolls, he's probably the most normal
>>289687723Their mom is batshit insane
>>289688077Kalluto is Silent Majority?!
>>289679424boys will be boys
>>289687049>Kurapika held Woble once,I made my case for why his isn't a problem given 2 different abilities>Woble is in a complete unknown location, presumably on a continental country Kurapika knows nothing about that.He only needs to search the boat with his dowsing chain using a map>Neon was missing for a day, while it's been months since Kurapika saw the real Woble.I made my case for why this also doesn't matter. All that is required is initial contact>Do you understand how much more limitedI understand that you are making up new rules about how only touching and seeing a target once means that he can't search the boat. I simply disagree and provided evidence for why.
