Hunter x Hunter Chapter 351 Discussion

To me that wouldn't make any sense, of course the nen beast should stay with the person being exorcized (unfortunately in GI the eraser and the exorcized were the same person, coincidentally), otherwise there would be no motivation for them to fulfill the original condition to remove the nen. In other words, I'd imagine Abengane would get screwed really often by unscrupulous people if the nen beasts stayed only with him.



1) That page doesn't ensure the removal by Abengane was successful, it could merely be a tease. Kurapika was not shown/hinted realizing that his chain was removed at that point, nor in the CA arc. So, with all the clues we have, we can't be certain the exact time the nen removal took place. Also, consider that in order to remove Kurapika's nen and make the nen beast go away the original conditions have to be met, the problem is Kurapika never offered any condition besides avoiding the ryodan and not using nen for like EVER. So... if I were Chrollo, Abengane's ability wouldn't be the wisest choice for a nen removal.
2) Hina's removal doesn't create a nen beast and she *coincidentally* travels to meteor city...
- before the election arc
- way before it is hinted that Chrollo's nen was removed (when Kurapika was in a bad mood).
If she met the spiders at meteor city, it wouldn't have taken long for them to arrange an exorcism at the beginning of the election arc. Furthermore, Chrollo mentions in this chapter that he basically accepted the match not because Hisoka helped him, but he was tired of running away. So, it could be that Hisoka's help during GI was of no use after all.

This is of course assuming that Abengane's nen beast stays with the person being exorcized. There's also the possibility of a third nen eraser (not yet mentioned).

2) Hina could'nt have been the one to exorcise Chrollo, she arrives at the very end of the chimera ant arc, did she even make it? did she even meet the phantom troupe? who knows.
In the beginning of the election arc, Illumi states that Hisoka has been playing tag with Chrollo while the events of the chimera ant arc were happening

I'm surprised so many people think that Hisoka will come out of this alive if this is truly a death match. Gon and Hisoka had their fight in Heavens Arena, Gon will destroy Hisoka beyond belief in a rematch. We saw what he did to Pitou! I don't think that Togashi will write a rematch just to have Gon win at the end of the manga.Hisoka is sadly not relevant to the story anymore.

Kaimon said:
Mmm hmm. I miss when Chrollo was one of the few realistically drawn characters in the manga, made him come off way more creepy and intimidating. Now he just looks..."off-model"

embracebuddha said:
yeah but this isnt really anything new. the whole pt thing in the ant arc? pretty random as well. my personal opinion is that chrollo wins and kills hisoka and kurapika possible confirms chrollo has his powers back this way.

Hisoka Morou ._.

I can't remember the last time that i've had a feeling this complicated.

Doubt he's going to die and if he does die then so does my place in this fandom. :'(

Ston3_FreeN7 said:


Well, context is important here. Gon did after all beat Pitou with an extremely dangerous, I would assume one time only powerup that nearly killed him. Normal Gon, whenever he gets his Nen back, still couldn't beat Hisoka. Either way, I just don't see this match reaching a conclusion.

metsujin said:
So I really forgot when did Chrollo got his nen back... is it mentioned in some chapter & can someone tell me what chapter?

Drake1000 said:
What the fuck ???
The fight just happens like this out of the blue with no close prior build-up, No Kurapika sensing that his judgment chain is no longer effective? no nothing, boom here's the fight in the middle of the Dark continent arc, the fuck? is Togashi rushing HxH like he did with Yu Yu Hakusho?
Also Chrollo appears to have stolen Shalnark's ability, meaning that the latter would not be able to use his Nen ability anymore, nice thing to do to your smartest Phantom troupe member.
Also what's up with the double abilities at the same time, that's bullshit.
Hisoka Morou? what a shitty name
Please tell me Hisoka is dreaming.
>(Pokémon) Sun and Moon
Hiatus confirmed

metsujin said:


I have the same reaction tbh... I mean we knew the fight will happen... but as you said, where's the build up? Illumi implied that Hisoka was chasing after Chrollo... but even so is that 'eraser' so good, that Kurapika didn't notice Chrollo got his nen back? Wished we had a chapter explaining more about this... unless Togashi plans to do it a bit later... but yea very confusing stuff.

Donze said:


He always borrowed abilities, that's the original purpose of the book, even when he used it against the zoldyicks

Drake1000 said:

Actually about that... Someone pointed this out
He can predict Hisoka's future and act accordingly, remember in Yorkshin he got Hisoka's info required as a condition for the fortune telling ability
Hisoka is fucked in this fight.

If Togashi really kill off any of these two characters in this petty fight, then it simple means I overestimated him as a writer. This would be straight up bad writing if that's the case. (...)

Iceblink said:


I was just thinking...what if he reads what he predicted to the other members/Hisoka? Didn't Neon said that it was better if she doesn't know about them? Maybe if he reads Hisoka's prophecy, it won't come true because the original writer readed it.

keragamming said:
This is also the first I'm seeing Hisoka in manga form, he looks like a shitty JOJo character, absolutely disgusting! Also neither Hisoka nor chrollo will die in this battle, not because it's a battle to the death means it's going to actually happen, the battle will be interrupted or something.

If Togashi really kill off any of these two characters in this petty fight, then it simple means I overestimated him as a writer. This would be straight up bad writing if that's the case.

3.5/5

This made me laugh so much...this is also the first time I've seen Hisoka in manga form and let me tell you he looks like he's been pumping those steroids like there's no tomorrow.

His thigh & booty game is pretty damn high.



I agree that the fight seems somewhat out of the blue, but I could never see it happening any other way tbh given both characters' warped personalities and mindsets. I wouldn't expect anything less from those two crazies. We also don't know what Togashi has planned yet...it might not all be as abrupt as it initially appears.

You never really know what to expect with HxH.
Guess we'll just have to sit tight and pray to the manga gods that Togashi does not take another break.
