YEAH for Hisoka finally showing up again. Ging is sly. Going to all that trouble for the vote. Illumi shows up and talks to Hisoka about eliminating the other Zaoldyeck brother.

Nice chapter. Not only shows Ging doing his smooth tactics, but quite memorial with some previous Hunters of the manga.

Btw, Ging kinda reminds me of Yusuke Urameshi.

Makes sense now that I think about it. Same author made both yu yu and hxh. Also, Yusuke wanted to also have a lot of fights which equal to fun and excitement for him which is similar to Ging's desire for a real hunt. Besides that, they both look similar and were acting similar in this chapter. Damn, If only they made Yu Yu longer.

Anyways this was my favorite chapter of Shounen jump this week. Ging's whole plan, his quote "If my target moves just as I want them to...now that's a real hunt," and also his whole childishness at the end of the chapter with his desire to know the outcomes. I'm just shocked that he only got 7 votes.

Anyways this was probably one of the bests chapters for awhile. Had a lot of different aspects that I didn't know before in this chapter and so much happened. Never knew that there were only 661 hunters in the world lol and I didn't really know Killua had another brother. It seems like the bro wants to kill Killua because he said that at this rate they'll both die. Maybe that brother was meant to be the special and most promising of the Zaolydecks(whichever way you spell it) and once Killua was born they said now Killua would be the most promising or something. Hisoka's entrance was sort of refreshing and he also seems to be known amongst even the 12 zodiacs. I love how he was looking for a strong opponent and was ranking them by points but what did he say was 95 points before Illumi came. Was he referring to Illumi or Ging? Also the recount of the votes was pretty cool but it still seems like Pariston is going to win.
Damn, Togashi really is something, he comes up with the most intelligent and original aspects out of nearly all the shounens I've watched or read.

Great chapter. It was great to see some old faces, and the story is going smoothly.

And the magazines in Netero's memorial were a nice touch xD

I'm pretty sure he was referring to Illumi since he said "Oh, it's you Illumi." right after that.

i also had to go back to check out the girlie mags...didn't notice them but they are in keeping with netero's personality. I also think hisoka meant illumi. he seems to be basing his ratings on the people he sees (maybe using gyo or en) and ging is definately not there. wonder what he'd rate super saiyan gon and killua now?

i ended up with alot of questions after reading this chapter:
I wonder why illumi wants to assassinate his missing brother? i wonder why the brother IS missing? i wonder why illumi favors killua over the missing brother? i wonder why the bother with the spiders is equally determined to find this missing brother no matter what? i wonder what illumi needs hisoka for? i wonder what hisoka will do with all this new information? i wonder what killua is negotiating for?

VOTES:
i wonder who voted for kaito? i would have thought him being dead would disqualify him. i wonder if "kaito" got to vote? since we don't know that the ant is actually kaito (how did he become an ant? i thought they had to eat you and kaito was a zombie so i assume he wasn't eaten?) and the association is covering up the whole ant thing...it'd be kind of hard to explain his new appearance? who the HECK would vote for hisoka (his entry was blank)?! gon got 1 vote...i wonder who voted for him? gon and shoot are listed on the absent votes (probably still unconscious) but what happened to kurapika? why is he on the list? who did leorio and killua vote for?

can't wait for next week!

I don't quite remember, but Killua and his father had some kind of agreement involving Gon, right?. Since he is dying, something may change...

I don't think Killua and Leorio voted, the list says, "Gon, Kurapika, Shalnak and XX others".
And they didn't mention poor Pokkle... ;_; (so, maybe the whole thing is secret to the majority of hunters as well).

i think his hunter team voted for him (spinner) but they are 6 and he got 4 votes so.. and kaito is now reincarnated(i think) as the baby ant that colt took care of after the queen died

I eeeeeeeed out loud at the spread of Hunters coming to vote. I totally saw the shoes and knew exactly what would be on the next page - holy hips, Hisoka!

I loved absolutely everything about this chapter. Seeing it, it pretty much confirms that Togashi wanted to finish the Chimera Ant arc to get back to characters everyone knows and loves and misses. That Leorio and Kurapika didn't show up makes me wonder if they'll show up in the next few chapters - it seems like it would be foolish to go back to the old gang and not bring them back.

Again... eeeeeeeeeee~

But guys are you not a little disappointed because this whole manga was really about the search of Gon's father and he then suddenly appears out of no where!

Incorrect, de manga was about Gon finding his father. Since he is in a critical state, and Ging still prefers to act behind the scenes, it will still be a while before they come in contact with each other.

And if you take for example Fairy Tail, which is about Natsu finding Igneel. We also see some scenes of Igneel there.

Good stuff. Nice to see some characters that have been mia for awhile.

Nice to see the votings too. I bet Hanzo voted for himself. And I'm amazed Kurapica wasn't voted for Since he did lead the group of hunters working for the mob. I'm hoping that Biske will win, lol.

And i assume some people don't know Kaito is dead since Illumi didn,t seem to know all the details either.

I think the queen has eaten Kaito's brain, and left the remaining of Kaito's body for Neferupitou's have fun.
Once Meruem said that human brain was the most delicious part.

Hisoka! I may still be sad about the deaths of Meruem and Komugi, but at least this glorious clown is back. So, the other sibling in the photograph back when the Troupe was attacking the ants is finally coming into play. Was not expecting Illumi to be trying to kill him, though. And it seems Killua is somehow in danger? Interesting.

I wonder what Ging meant when he mentioned "the hunt". Is he targeting someone at the election or...?

Man I wish Hisoka was there to see Meruem and all the fights that took place.
Can't wait until Gon and Hisoka meet again, wonder what he will think of Gon's changes.
Also another brother for Killua, that's a strange reveal.

It's great to have a bit of comedy back in the series after the darkness of the Chimera Ant arc. And it's great to see some of the old characters back. Hisoka seems to be genuinely worried about Gon and Killua, a lot more than Ging was. Ging really is a terrible father.

I wouldn't say that. Hisoka just sees it as losing more "toys" to play with, whereas Ging has absolute faith that Gon will make it.
