Yeah, that link about a third party intervening is 100% speculation based on zero evidence.

That said, it doesn't mean it's impossible. I mean, if Hisoka is to survive at this point, it's almost guaranteed that it will be the result of some deus ex machina factor -- a new ability from Hisoka we haven't seen before, some trap that Hisoka set during the fight that wasn't shown, a change of heart from Chrollo, or a third party who intervenes.

The good thing about HxH is that Togashi rarely employs deus ex machina sloppily. There are always major consequences, or at least well-conceived explanations. For example, Gon's miraculous defeat of Pitou required an entire arc to resolve. In any other shonen, that power-up would've cost him absolutely nothing.

If there is some third party who comes to the rescue, my guess is... Gon! Why?

Gon has a decent rapport with both Chrollo and Hisoka. He's also extremely charismatic and effective at causing people to have a change of heart. If anyone is in a position to convince Chrollo to spare Hisoka, it's Gon. Furthermore, he probably likes Hisoka, because Hisoka has helped him out several times in the past and taught him a lot about fighting, so he has every motivation to save him. On top of that, we know that Gon knows about Heaven's Arena, and is good enough by now to be a floor master himself. Finally, we haven't seen Gon in quite a while, and what more dramatic way would there be to bring him back into the picture?

My second guess would be someone from the Dark Continent arc. Perhaps one (or two) of the princes seeking body guards would want to recruit Chrollo and/or Hisoka? I could see both of these characters wanting to visit the Dark Continent, Hisoka for the challenge and Chrollo for the treasures.

That said, this is all pure speculation...

It's been 350+ chapters and Togashi never employed a DEM, if Hisoka survives this, it's gonna be through an explanation, which isn't very hard to do. DEM would have only been needed if we'd seen him get torn to pieces.

I could be wrong, but I think deus ex machina doesn't cease to be so just because there's an explanation given. The definition is: "a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the inspired and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object." That applies to lots of stuff in HxH.

I think Hisoka will live!

1st: The author made the storyline so inclined to Hisoka ultimately fighting Gon, i mean it is his choice to change the storyline whenever, but given the preexposed hints and whatnot, I believe Hisoka will live somehow.

2nd: As for his torn off hand and leg, I think if anything, since Machi favours and follows Chrollo, she will definitely NOT cure him with her needles (but i believe his limbs were exploded anyways)

3rd: I think if anything this would be how the author would bring Hisoka back with Killua/Gon, where he would eventually get Alluka to heal him again, thus bringing the three back together.

And superhumans out-running an explosion blast is hardly a "seemingly unsolvable problem" in this context. Shoot and Knuckle did that a dozen times during their fight against Youpi. They are hypersonic, even if not invincible. This means that while the explosions are still a scary thing, doesn't mean they're unescapable.

There are always liberties taken with the art to create the illusion of close calls. (For example, I have no problem with Hisoka dodging the exploding ref in the first chapter of this fight.)

But I draw the line at things the characters themselves say. If Hisoka says, "I can't fall to the floor or the puppets will blow me up", and then he falls to the floor, and then he says, "I'm going to die", then I expect him to die. Either Togashi is making him lie to the readers (which would be a cheesy gimmick to heighten the suspense; no way Togashi would do that), or Hisoka really does believe that his abilities are inadequate to save himself (in which case he will either die or be saved via deus ex machina).

Once again, this is HxH, a more realistic story. Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's some universal law taking place. "If I'm gonna die either way" is just him musing and weighing his options. You need to look at the actual facts and not be distracted by these monologues. Fact is, he is still a hypersonic character (one of the best), who can also be rendered MUCH faster with the bungie gum effect, and he's simply trapped among a lot of explosives who went off simultaneously. We didn't even see him being consumed by the blast, he could have disappeared even before the explosion was triggered, in which case we wouldn't even have to debate how fast he is. It's like simply stepping aside and having the gun miss before having to deal with how to dodge the bullet.

I really don't think Togashi would have him say that for no reason, just to increase the suspense at the end of the chapter. It would just be shoddy lazy writing, and Togashi is not a shoddy lazy writer. So my money is that Hisoka will die or be saved by someone else, but will not be able to save himself. But we will see in 7 days!

Are you sure?
Killua to Netero: Pitou is stronger than you
Netero: Pitou is stronger than I am
Netero vs Pitou, Netero casually swats Pitou away and never thinks of him again.

Gon: Hanzo might be older and stronger, but I am smaller, faster and more agile
*Hanzo 1-chop KOs Gon a split-second after*

Yes, he says it because he thinks there is a chance of him dying, doesn't mean it's inescapable.
The same reason Meruem saying "You had me in check mate from the start", didn't stop him from trying to escape. Only difference they're not trapped underground and this is not a nuke.

It's not shoddy lazy writing, it's shoddy lazy thinking on the audience's part. And he's taking advantage of that to build real suspense. He's simply proving again and again that a character saying something is not "word of god", which IS shoddy lazy writing done by most shonen.

People think that if a character honestly believes in something, it's a law of physics within the universe. The only statements that can turn out wrong are lies, over- and understatements, and the like. If he genuinely believes it, it's definitely true.

You're right, I think it's great that characters can be mistaken. It's an important part of the HxH universe, and I also think it's great writing.

So yes, it's possible that Hisoka is mistaken. However, just because something is possible, doesn't mean it's likely. For example, Gon is an extremely optimistic and naive character. And, at the time that he fought Honzo, he was also completely lacking in combat experience. Thus, it's not surprising at all that he overestimates his speed and agility compared to Hanzo's. This is an internally consistent mistake for Gon to make.

On the other hand, the chairman has a vast amount of combat experience. He's been fighting life-or-death battles for decades and decades. Therefore, it's less likely for him to be mistaken that Pitou is stronger than him. And is he mistaken? I don't think so. There is zero evidence that the chairman's nen is stronger than Pitou's. If anything, the chairman acknowledges Pitou's strength by swatting him away in order to avoid a fight. And Pitou is completely unharmed by this swat, which is one of Netero's most powerful techniques. If Netero had said, "There's no way I can swat Pitou away," and then swatted him away, I would have called bullshit. But he didn't say that.

That brings us to Hisoka. Is it possible that he's underestimating his own speed, or overestimating the strength of the sun-and-moon explosions? Yes, but it's unlikely. Hisoka is an elite fighter with oodles of combat experience. He has also experienced the sun-and-moon explosions numerous times in the past few minutes. If he escapes the explosions next chapter without external help, I doubt it will be because he simply miscalculated. Based on what he said in this chapter ("I'm going to die anyway"), he is intending to do something suicidal. Escaping via bungee gum is not suicidal.

I was initially on team Chrollo, but after the amount of damage Hisoka's sustained, I'm beginning to pity him. Ofcourse, Hisoka could be resourceful enough and find some way in using his nen to return the flow of battle to his side, but I doubt he'll win after losing large potions of his limbs. Either Hisoka dies, the battle ends in a draw or a third party intervenes...

It's funny how no matter what anime or manga discussion is going on, no one talks about "lazy writing" or "good writing" however when it comes to HxH, the word writing is all over the place lol

"If Hisoka only lives to fight Gon at his full and ultimately lose, that's meh writing."

"If he survives against Chrollo."

"etc is lazy writing... "

Can't we just have faith in him? Hiatuses and shit aside, I don't think Togashi has ever disappointed his fans with his story and characters.

Just wait and see what he does, Whatever he does for the story will be the best option.

As for Hisoka, he might die next chapter but he's definitely still alive now. This fight won't end with Chrollo getting out unscathed. If Hisoka wanted to he could have escaped any time and try fighting Chrollo with no such handicap but it's not his style (also it wouldn't be too interesting story-wise). I'm pretty sure that he will seriously injure Chrollo, this fight has been hyped by Togashi too much for it to end one-sidedly.

I see that you haven't read Gintama. I recommend it, it's better than Hunter x Hunter (although there is no villain as interesting as Hisoka there).

From the last stance Hisoka is taking (arms crossed), he is definitively preparing something. Chrollo is playing very safe though, by now he probably analyzed all of Hisoka's moves and knows his limits, I am sure he knows Hisoka would be dangerous when pushed into a corner. That s why I think Hisoka's last move better be incredible or else it ll be wasted on puppets.

i didn't mean visually. i mean morally and psychologically. i am not really sure the audience members knew to what extent the danger was, most of them probably never imagined they would be used as tools like that and killed in the process.

Because that's exactly what they are, dolls. these are the puppet copies Chrollo made that are going after Hisoka, So there'll be no blood when they are killed because they're made of nen.

Can't believe I had to explain something as simple as that.

Did that really just happen?!
It was actually painful to see, the way he's slowly being torn apart by Chrollo and his puppets...granted, he probably deserves it and he's somehow still having a blast. Literally.

From that last panel though it really seems like Hisoka is gonna pull something. I just can't see him going out like that though, although I have an EXTREME bias for the crazy clown. I'm gonna be salty af if he's taken out now!!

Right now, I can see one of three things happening...Hisoka could pull a Netero and drag whoever he can to hell with him. He could also pull a Gon and do a restriction and pledge...surviving but being limbless and nenless would be probably worse than death to Hisoka, although I guess the outcome depends on what his restriction would be.

Then there's the horrid possibility that he just dies an underwhelming death...it'd be a painful juxtaposition of his outlandish, eccentric personality. Well written and caped in irony, but brutal for his fans ;_;

Or y'know what...Togashi might be really sadistic and go straight back to the stuff in DC without explicitly showing a victor. Perhaps the winner is whoever shows up there?? O_O

Also really beginning to doubt that Chrollo is human. His face is void of well, anything and it becomes even more apparent when he's pitted against someone like Hisoka. His expressions & hollowness remind me of Meruem before Komugi came along.

I'm excited and terrified for next chapter! Keep 'em coming Togashi!!

Lool that's hilarious! it looks childish tbh, it's not really dark when their heads are being pop off like dolls with not one drop of blood. Lol this is pretty tame if anything.

You're technically right in saying the tone is dark, interms of what the two characters are doing to the audience, but visually its PG 13 at best.

Because that's exactly what they are, dolls. these are the puppet copies Chrollo made that are going after Hisoka, So there'll be no blood when they are killed because they're made of nen.

Can't believe I had to explain something as simple as that.[/quote

I completely forgot about that.That pretty much sum up how little interest I have in this drag out uninteresting fight. My point still stands though, the series is visually PG 13 at best.

And also with that realization, this fight is even less interesting, the tone itself in this fight is now PG 13 at best. Lol

I don't really care about your opinion on the fight, I was just trying to explain to you why there is no blood. Also another tip, age doesn't have to do anything with something being good or bad.
