Hunter x Hunter Chapter 351 Discussion

I don't think it's particularly confusing; just unexpected. I think the surprise cutaway to this event was probably the best way to do this - I don't see many ways Togashi could have incorporated the buildup of this event into the current situation with DC; it's the fallout of whatever transpires here that will have an impact on the story of DC.

Frankly, I think Hisoka is going to win. He'll be looking for a new object of entertainment afterwards, and sees DC as the way to alleviate his boredom. Of course, the spiders will be out for vengeance, and will pursue him; allowing for Kurapika to further pursue his own vengeance with all of those elements converging.

Of course, Togashi is also known for subverting expectations, so barring a shitty deus ex machina that allows them both to survive, maybe Togashi will simply retire both Chrollo and Hisoka's story by allowing a draw with their mutual deaths, or maybe chrollo even wins.

But damn do I like both characters - I haven't felt this suspenseful about a fictional deathmatch in a long time.
