Somehow this was way to easy to find out??? I don´t trust Togashi, he must have something up his sleeve!!!
Curious about the reaction of saiyu in the next chapter!!!!
If he will tell them or not? BTW awesome speech from Mizai; like his character!

All the princes are f**ked up inthe head, but I love the idea of becoming the new king. WOW Togashi never ceases to amaze me; I smell trouble coming!!!

BTW NO new chapter next week!!!!!!
I can´t wait two weeks :( :( :( :(

I wouldn't mind if it's the monkey since I don't really care about him at all either way (Not that I care about most of the Zodiacs lol) But I'm also thinking this is too easy.

Kurapika is so BA ^^ Loving his role in this arc so far.

And man is this prince crazy O_o! I really expected him to be fodder at the start but from what I'm seeing, Togashi has some plans for him.

Classic HxH awesomeness, no action yet entertaining as hell!!

So the 7 princes of Kakin and their soldiers are going to have a battle to determine who will be the next King. While Kurapika will be hunting the 4th prince and helping out the Zodiacs where he can. God I missed Kurapika, he is for the most part in control when he is in an arc and is always 10 steps ahead of everybody <3

Speaking of the 4th prince, was he watching a video of a woman getting skinned?! Sick mofo!!

I'm liking Mizai more and more but I can shake the feeling that he is also working with Beyonds crew. I'm sure that there is another mole in the organization...Togashi taking a week break is fine with me, he has been putting out good/amazing chapters so far and the art looks better than ever. I just need to entertain myself with something els I guess.

Awesome chapter as usual, fist time I've ever seen a guy placing a lion in a choke hold lol.

Kurapika's was great, I really thought it was Mizaistrom but I guess I was wrong. Never expected it to be the monkey guy, pretty interesting.

The 4th prince is a sadistic scumbag, can't wait to see what they will do once they are all on the Black Whale.

So Saiyuu was the mole... or the rat (hurrhurr). I guess that makes sense. All the really vocal Pariston opposers were suspicious, imo.

Kurapika is so cool.

The 4th Kakin prince has issues far, far worse than Hisoka or Illumi.
Interested to see what the princes have planned for the association and the trip.

I have a feeling Mizai is trolling us with his power, it s like when biscuit showed off her summoned girl assistant to Killua. It's the tree trying to hide the forest.

I knew it all along that monkey was sketchy. Cannot trust monkeys and here is why:

Is it just me or does the boat seem to getting awfully crowded? If things continue going this way, this arc might be longer than the CA arc. That's not a bad thing but it's Togashi. Then again, his art hasn't been this good in ages so it seems that he's finally starting to take this seriously. Nevertheless, that was a pretty interesting chapter. I don't normally like wordy mangas but HxH seems to draw me in somehow.

Gotta love this manga.

The political thing between the Zodiacs is really interesting and it's seems like they will generate some good stories. This political atmosphere is not something you see much in Jump, much less in a shounen manga. Though, at this point, can we still consider HxH as shounen?

I don't know about you, but if I can get an arc as long as CA filled with great adventure on par with OP's Skypeia, Ging, Pariston, Leorio, Kurapica, Election arc politics and Yorkshin quality writing I will certainly not complain, On the contrary, it might be the best HxH arc then.

Mainly because it's published on shonen magazine.

Kurapika so rock. Leorio nowhere to be seen, though.

I think it's too easy to found the traitor, there must be something more to it. Or Saiyu just acted like his character that is a monkey? like to pull a prank and cause a trouble?

So once again a (mostly) non-battle oriented ability, huh. Mizai's ability revolves around court stuff. lol it suit him. But i think he must be hiding something more.

I'm impressed how Kurapika can maintain red eyes Emperor Time long enough to screen out every single Hunter applicant without getting fatigued. Maybe he's using the Kurta clan eyedrops? http://puu.sh/anXSs/e8dd54b9f9.jpg

Benjamin (First Prince) is pride, and Tyson (Sixth Prince) is envy because they were referred as hubris & jealousy by Tserriednich. Luzurus (Seventh Prince) is probably sloth since he was called a moron. Tserriednich is most likely wrath or greed.

Also the memory erasing person is on Prince Tserriednich team. Notice the progression of the panels right after Mizai said, is that even possible? Followed by the fact that 5 of Tserriednich's bodyguards manage to pass the hunter exam that even Beyond's team could not. And when Tatya was saying how they'd be monitored with tools and machines to screen out liars, Prince Tserriednich said it's not a problem.

This is interesting, Nidhoeggr that it's going to play out like the classic tale. While it's clearly plausible, I don't think it's gonna just play out like that because of Togashi. Mangakas have got to put a twist on everything, or else predictability plagues their work. Togashi is above both your average and not so average mangaka, so he must have something else up in his sleeves. But the inspirations from the tale are clear though, so some possible plot points could be deducted from the tale.

In the tale, the ox and the rat work together because the ox was a honest but gullible person (I doubt Mizaistrom is of this caliber of a person, giving his hunting specialty). But if things play out like that and Mizaistrom is the mole, I think these might be possible plot points/scenarios:

- Rat jumps out in the nick of time to cross the finish line first, which could be a possible plot point (Pariston betrays Mizaistrom).

- The rat could be referring to Kurapika: Working together with Mizaistrom, only to turn on his back and deduce him as the mole. (A bit far fetched.)

Also, from the classic tale, there is an existence of the cat, who isn't a replacement for the bunny as in some version of the tale. The cat was supposed to go with the rat to the Jade Emperor, but the rat, whether intentionally or not, left the cat and raced off. The cat didn't make it, and thus swore to always hunt the rat. Again, really really far-fetched, but a possible zodiac-related character hinted?

Then again, Saccho's last name is identical to a general who betrayed his army in Japan history, so yeah.

-----------------

And I think the woman is getting a spider tattoo. The woman didn't scream during the treatment. And while she could be dead already, pay attention to the sound effect: Bzzzzzzzzzz.

Sounds like what a tattoo artist would use as a tool.

If it really is a spider tattoo.... Troupe getting involved too?!?!?

And I like these small breaks.

If you think about it, it was not as simple.... The zodiacs were doing business as usual until Kurapika joined in and was like 'Ok guys, did you find the motherf*cker yet?', then the dumb zodiacs... 'wat??'.

The thing though is even if nobody knew about Kurapika's power, that Monkey knew something was up and something changed since Kurapika opened his mouth about possibility of moles.

I think if anything, that discovery is a trigger that will accelerate the pace of the story

Well, I kind of doubt it will be that easy. Saiyuu may be completely innocent still or, more likely, just a diversion. Mizai is always a possibility, I think. The look at the 4th prince was interesting, nice job spotting the possible spider tattoo Icchi. My god if they got involved.....

It is a tattoo. Check a few pages earlier - there is a picture of a tattoing needle/instrument

I think the person the tattoist is working on Chrollo. Look at the straight black hair which is combed back. It looks to me like Chrollo is having his spider tattoo removed???

Besides, it doesnt suprise me that Chrollo would be with the prince, afterall it was the Phantom Troupe who took the scarlet eyes, and it is the prince who currently possesses them.

Actually this pretty good news that Togashi is taking breaks; maybe it means that he is trying for a long run!!!
Before his last hiatus, he never took a break in the last 5-6 years; I have nothing against it, if he gives us 2-3 chapters and then takes a week off.
It´s a lot BETTER than wainting for 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patience is sadly an unknown word for many manga readers. Makes sense, because anime/manga is usually frequented by a teenage crowd, but it isn't really a lot compared to other manga. Even Berserk's hiatus are fine when you compare it to stuff like X, Nana, Five Star Stories or Bastard.
Just relax and be patient. Many of the greatest works of mankind remain unfinished and some even only got published after the author died. If the quality is alright you should not have problems waiting.
Then again, it was HxH's breaks + Togashi's lazy work ethics that made fans mad. Thankfully he seems to have gotten over this with his new assistant now, recent chapters have great art and art direction.

PS: CA took almost 8 years. I know it because I caught up when it started :P
