I remember Togashi or his assistant was hinting to the readers that someone important is going to die in this arc. I'm not too sure, I think this arc will kinda have a battle royal theme to it? Basing this off the latest chapter. Also Gon adventure to regain his nen. I'm sure there is more but I can't remember.

I also heard Togashi was saying that this arc will be dialogue heavy and fans might not enjoy it, I think Togashi is underestimating his loyal fanbase, they're just happy that he's making more hxh chapters again, the content could be crap, it doesn't matter.

That's why I said I "heard" I've seen hxh fans saying that. Also I edited that post, the part about a important character dying was from the assistant or editor I believe. Back in 2014. Not sure though.

I don't understand how this will be dialogue heavy. Considering how big the DC is and how much lore is in it, I'm sure it's gonna be more action-packed than CA.

Everybody thinks that someone important will die. And everybody is asking who it could be. Or when he will go on hiatus again.

However I don't think that are the questions we should ask. With all those fractions and characters coming together the question should be, do they even arrive? Or is the situations going to explode before they arrive there? Or even before they leave the port? Or even before Togashi goes on hiatus again?

With all the foreshadowing done about the dangers of this Arc I think the question isn't who is going to die but rather who is going to survive.

It will be full of dialogues because the whole arc is build around the political scheme: who will be the sucessor. I think every single prince has a plan how to make the others fight each other while he/she can stand on the sideline and enjoy the slaughter. So Togashi has to explain every single detail and explain how the actions of one prince affects the action of another and how Kurapika intends to eliminate all dangers to ensure the safety of his own princess..

But I hope that there will be some good fighting scenes since the princes all received Nen abilities. The only question that makes me worry is that how a newborn will be able to use a Nen abiltiy..

Like most of you are saying i do indeed think this will be a pretty dark (pun intended) arc, the princes battle for survival will be interesting to see. And not to mention all the Zodiacs, Gin, Netero..

About character deaths, i can't shake the feeling that maybe Kurapika or Gin are going to die, i don't know why tho..

If a character is to die early on in Kurapika's bodyguard group, then it's probably going to be either Basho or Izunabi (Kurapika's master). Hanzo and Melody probably won't die before the Sacred Ninja scroll and the Sonata of Death are introduced. Togashi made it clear that those items are quintessential to those characters' quests. They (the sonata and the scroll) might also be related to the dark continent in a way, making Hanzo and Melody's roles in this arc far more purposeful than Pokkle's and Ponzu's in the Chimera ant arc. Biscuit on the other hand seems somewhat death-proof, being the mentor of Gon and Killua. As for the Hunter's association, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them bite the dust at some point, except Ging and Pariston. Ging is quite overpowered which might lead Togashi to nerf him at some point (maybe using one of those diseases found in the DC or something) but I can't see him dying either. Pariston was just recently introduced and is the spice of the arc so I can't see a death flag being layed on him for now. As for the princes, well... it's gonna be bloody.

I'm really hoping to have equality in the ''political scenes'' and ''battle scenes''.
That first ''half'' at least we can realize that from now on a part of the arc will be dedicated to that ''Game of Thrones'' between the Princes/Princesses,but there will be the time for the battle scenes,right??This is where i start to get worried,HxH have so many fights with psychological and calculated scenes,and i'm not complaining about it,but i think that if keeps too much,it will turn into a dull and slow reading.The manga does have the ''freedom'' to battle scenes like was ''Gon x Hisoka'',and i really wanted it to be used more often

-Troupes will be bodyguards as well, except for chrollo.
-If chrollo does appear in this arc, then it's a possibility kurapika may end up killing him
-Kurapika will end up killing one of the princes, causing an uproar.
-Either way, Kurapika gonna murder someone's ass.
-Pariston will fight someone/something and reveal his true power, showing us he's not just a sparkly troll character.
-Ging will either die in a heated battle or save the day and nobody knows about it.
-Hisoka won't appear in this arc.
-Biscuit will keep bitching about whatever it is she's bitching about.
-leorio will be very useful during this mission just kidding.
-Hanzo probably has a really bad ass nen ability.
-Beyond will die somehow
-woman with baby is a traitor and tries to kill kurapika.

Pariston's shenanigans

The prince situation
I'm sure the Troupe will find about this venture into the Dark Continent and join in
The Zodiac's and whatever their involvement will be
and our main 2 will join in perhaps late? maybe Leorio will join aswell but i doubt he would last

this arc is stacked as fuck, the only question is if it will ever be finished

Melody finds the Devil's Sonata, only to end up having to use it to kamikaze some enemy.

We find a little something something about Gon's biological mother, who is hopefully not a rock. (I'm thinking she's Mukuro-like in character, as she and Gon are alike in that their emotions hold a great sway other their strength... and I can't imagine Mukuro having any interest in children lol)

Unity among Zodiacs split and more move over to Beyond's side.

Just thought about something.

-Chrollo wins the fight by using Shalnarck ability on Hisoka.
-Puts him on auto-pilot and orders him to kill Kurapika to get his revenge.
-They both get on the boat to the DC

Because Hisoka isn't a member of the Ryodan, Chrollo would have a big advantage against Kurapika. With this scenario, both fighters survive and become relevant into the Dark Continent arc.

Also, keep in mind that sticking the antenna into Hisoka was the first thing Chrollo tried to to in the beginning of the fight. Plus, Hisoka can easily defend himself against the crowd, so we can assume that Chrollo's crowd tactic isn't meant to kill Hisoka but to distract him. Why distract him? To stick the antenna of course.

At least this scenario makes more sense to me than "A prince comes in and interrupts the fight". If this indeed happens (which I doubt it will), remember that I was the one who called it.

I feel like most of the Zodiac members will die and get replaced. Just a hunch really.

Also, I can't be the only one who's thinking that Leorio is at a huge risk here, right?? Sure, he's more of an intellectual and has great doctoral potential, but his physical strength and Nen abilities seem to be somewhat lacking compared to most of the others...not to mention how reckless and hotheaded he can be...

I'm also kind of expecting Ging or Pariston to die...perhaps edging a little more towards Ging though for some reason. That could set off a whole load of events- Gon might get involved (depending on his nen situation), and then if Killua finds out, he'd probably get involved (and we all know wherever Killua goes, Illumi's never far behind).

If that happens, we could get quite a lot of development for Alluka- well, that's under the assumption that Nanika is actually a calamity originating from DC.

Maybe Gyro will show up...there's obviously some huge mystery surrounding him, I mean there has to be a reason we've never seen his face!!

On a side note, I wouldn't mind Togashi delving into Hisoka's past or Chrollo's psyche since both of those things really intrigue me. I wouldn't want a full flashback arc or anything, but I think a little depth or deconstruction there would be a nice touch.

You couldn't rule out that possibility since they originate from the dark continent. That could be the reason why many expeditions failed and both Neteros returned empty-handed.
The dark continent is very vast and could contain species stronger than chimera ants.

Here's my theory on the Dark continent part:

1. kurapica is a descendant from the dark continent. Looking back to kurapica's childhood. They have their own form of language until a stranger taught them the "human speech". Also in his childhood, it's obvious that they made a separate world from everybody because of their unique eyes as what the normal people would call "evil" which means that they are in some part of the world unknown. and having this fact, it is clear that something evil or bad have happened on the past for normal people to call them as such. which is I believe related to Dark continent.but since kurapica have no idea about the dark continent, it is inferred that the place he grew up with is not the dark continent. but as I have said, my theory is that their descendants came from dark continent.
Well, logically speaking it is indeed weird to have a gleaming red eyes that activates when emotions are strong. It doesn't look like normal human at all.
plus taking this book created by Don freecs. this book with "mobius strip" on the cover. if you would be very careful and would like to have a look at kurapica's robe at the skirt or whatever lower portion on his robe that there is a symbol of a mobius on his robe. well since kurapica and his tribe always used this robe, I would infer that this is some kind of tradition or a symbol pertaining to their origin. also. on the part where Ging introduced the Dark continent on that picture where he said that the world map is just a small portion at a mobius lake, you would see that there is a like a turkey kind of bird at the manga which is at some part of kurapica's childhood have a dodo looking bird accompanied him with his childhood friend.


2. Ging is a specialist. although Ging might seem stupid or just honest but he is definitely smart. he do behave like gon sometimes which is natural since he is Gon's said"father" on the story. I'm not sure if he was indeed Gon's father or just some relative who might have look lke him. Gon, at some point on the story;when he came back to whale island, had a conversation with aunt mito, he said that it is as if he was not supposed to be a "son" (not verbatim) when mito said taht Ging doesn't have a father figure. and then please look at mito's reaction on the manga. I'm not sure if it's because she might have felt guilty when she said those words making Gon felt less like a "son" but certainly there is more to that picture. going back, Ging I believe is a specialist not an enhancer. first he likes to travel a lot. "alone" I would assume. which makes him independent. And basing that characteristics to hisoka's way to determine nen category, ging would fall to that category. plus theres more that. When Ging and Pariston was trying to defeat those emiiter soldiers. Ging tried to imitate leorios nen ability and anticipate how that relates to leorio's goal for medicine purposes. also at some point, we could recall ging, sitiing on top a magical beast or somewhat dragon which also sits on top of another big dragon in some place before in the series. which would make him a manipulator or conjurer. he also shows good physical abilities as for climbing the world tree with ease which can categorized him as enhancer as well. Well this is just a hunch though.


3. Spiders, Illumi and probably alluka and killua will be there- well basically as what the manga describes, Dark continents have great treasures; cure for a longer life span; golds, and electricties as well. now as the spiders are a band of thieves, they would probably go there on that Dark continent in some way. aside from treasures though, there is some kind of mystery about the spiders about annihilating an entire clan of kurta and leave a message " we reject no one, so take nothing from us" although that could be just for a publicty stunt to scare the intire mafia community and the world or there is something far more deeper than that that made spiders target the said clan. though it was stated on the series, that chrollo adored the gleam of the kurta eyes, it just felt weird hiring a female stranger and then one day kill the clan in a cruelest way possible. is it just to let their eyes turn red or just for some deep revenge? also the female stranger though seems to familiar and I might have saw her character on a woman who is in beyond's group of specialist. I dont know. the way her hair and bodice resembles the stranger just felt too odd for me. and also that woman is also included on that backstory of kurapica so she should some scene that would enlighten us about the details about kurta extermination. wouldn't you agree? and as for Illumi, supposing that one of the five calamity named "Ai" possessed alluka, as the person eager to have the power of "nanika " himself would like to uncover its power so he should go to the Dark continent. Alluka and killua might go for almost the same reason, as to figuring out about how alluka acquired "nanika" and uncover more about their ancestors ziggs zoldyck. but "nanika " is a little bit submissive to the person that she is dependent with so "Ai" shouldn't be that kind of scary at the very least out of the five. As for Gon, as much as I'd love hime to be there. I dont think he would be there at the very first part of the expedition yet.
