| what Hisoka vs Chrollo i wasn't expecting it but the art was bad in this chapter. |
 |
| Wow didn't see this comming! thank god I could see this before I die; the battle I was wating for a very long time. I think Chrollo is going to own hisoka; since hisoka likes to fight stronger opponents and put his life on the edge? So the phantom troupe are watching this right now between the crowd I guess lol. I also I remember Machi telling hisoka that he's going to loss, and if he hypothetically won she's going to murder his ass, I belive this applies to the other memebers so they will go after him if he actually killed Chrollo. I wonder what's gonna happen, I can't read this Togashi afterall. |

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. Except the phatom troupe appearance there wasn't as significant as something that has been awaited since yorknew I think it's practically impossible for Hisoka to die. It would such a waste of his character. It will just be there for shock value, rendering his whole character to a random person fucking around during events of the story with no actual purpose. |

stand said: 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. :'( You read my mind. I feel like the name reveal could be a death flag, but I might just be reading into things too much. I'm still worried tho...like, have you seen Chrollo's box of tricks?! Oh Togashi please do not kill off Hisoka!!! |

Ston3_FreeN7 said: SaSa-Zoldyck said: 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. 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. Hisoka wants to fight Gon when he is at his peak, that means adult Gon or something close to it. Do you honestly think he has a chance of defeating that? Togashi doesn't strike me as a writer who would match Hisoka en Gon again just so that Gon can destroy him and finally get a win on Hisoka. It would be bad writing in my opinion, if they fight and Gon wins it will be nothing but fan service, the main shounen hero defeating is oldest rival. And if Gon loses then it will be as if he didn't progress at all. |

| Interesting chapter, strange that this just came out of no where. Given Chrollo's position in the Hunter universe and the revenge story it entails, I'd much rather have him as the victor over Hisoka. Hopefully this isn't an indication of what may turn out to be Togashi rushing the manga. |
| Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Gon to get his nen back. ;-; |
| What the fuck is oatmeal? |
| Words kinda fail me honestly, conventional wisdom tells me neither would end up dying but conventional wisdom also tells me this chapter wouldn't have happened so randomly as it did. I'm loving the content (and it's such a breeze to read through, can't remember the last time I read a Hunter x Hunter arc in under 10 minutes, let alone 20) but I'm pretty worried about the upcoming chapters. Definitely stoked for it though. |
| So if I remember correctly the exorcist that was on Greed Island doesn't actually remove the nen fully it is simple contained within the creature that the guy summons. When the guy made the creature eat the bomb on himself, he had to carry it around until going back to to the bomber brothers and "catching them" which undid the nen. So technically the nen wasn't exorcised off Chrollo, it was just contained within the creature, and that would make sense why Kurapika didn't sense the nen being removed. |
| what in the actual fuck... it's been like 16 years??? Togashi is not a person who like to give the fans the fanservice..... smth is behind that.. |
| As much as I'm excited to see this fight finally begin after all these chapters, I'm somewhat dreading something at the same time. Togashi might be trying to tie up loose ends like those with the Phantom Troupe so that he can end the series soon. With all the effort he took in building up the background for just this single arc it would be sad to see that axed before coming to full fruition. But regardless, at least he'll be happy instead of being tormented by fans, or just feeling guilty for not being able to put out a good enough product. |
 |
| I doubt either of them will die. I'm expecting Togashi to create a situation that interrupts their deathmatch. I doubt Togashi would kill off Hisoka at this point, but who knows... You never know with Hunter X Hunter. |
Donze said: Now that he no longer has to hold the book open to the page of the ability, that seems plausible. Or Shalnark might have sacrificed his ability for his boss.kchorrex2012 said: What left me perplexed are the new skills... So can he borrow abilities now? I don't think he'd just steal Shalnark's ability forever. Also, that sun & moon thing reminds me of that crazy alchemist that blew up everything with the seals in his hands. He always borrowed abilities, that's the original purpose of the book, even when he used it against the zoldyicks |
Drake1000 said: KingRequiem said: Neon Nostrade's fortune telling ability isn't appliable to self, Chrollo couldn't have predicted the issue of the match. 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.  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. |
| Chrollo looked exactly like that when he fought Silva. His nostrils flaring and his hair messy, what'd you expect? It's called consistency. Only in intimidation moments was he drawn realistically and lesss anime-like. Brilliant chapter, needless to say. |

| Wow been a long time coming, but completely random in my opinion. The looming hiatus is on my mind tho lol Give or take 8 more chapters then resume June 2017 |
keragamming said: (...) 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. (...) lol Bad writing would be if he wouldn't kill any of them only because some group of fans would be mad. It's a deathmatch that Hisoka has been waiting for and Chrollo would have no reason to leave Hisoka alive either (he knows that in such a case Hisoka would want a rematch sooner or later and he would keep coming at him, not that Hisoka would lose to that twat). |
| Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the exorcist guy transform the "curses" into Nen beasts rather than just remove them? That could explain why Kurapika is still clueless, Mad Bomber didn't seem to notice either. As for Chrollo having Troupe abilities, those guys are super loyal to him. All he'd have to do is ask, especially if he can give them back too. edit: Ah, I see this was already answered. |

Maybe if he reads Hisoka's prophecy, it won't come true because the original writer readed it. They refuse to read a prophecy they wrote because they don't understand it right away, the one concerned by the prophecy understands it better, but nothing prevents Chrollo from reading the prophecy and attempting to decipher it. "Maybe if he reads Hisoka's prophecy, it won't come true because the original writer readed it" Nothing like this is said about the ability, ever. Even if he does not make a Hisoka prophecy, he could make one for the other members and benefit from it since Chrollo and the phantom troupe members futures are very much linked as proven by the Yorkshin arc. |
| I could see one possibility that doesn't end in death for either of them. What if Chrollo steals Hisoka's hatsu? Chrollo's already seeing the skill in action. Hisoka's ability is very simple in terms of limitations and conditions yet it is super flexible to use (its potential comes down to creativity and deception). With very few explanations from Hisoka (like he always does) Chrollo would be able to fulfill the "explanation" condition to steal his hatsu. If he manipulates Hisoka into thinking he's fighting with all he has (as in a serious deathmatch) I could see Hisoka revealing more stuff about his ability. And if he managed to control Hisoka all he needs is to start giving orders so he can steal it with no problems. And no, I'm not forgetting Hisoka is a master of deception. This could be really interesting because Chrollo would fight with a handicap. |

| I'm just happy Hunter x Hunter is back, this chapter was pretty meh though. Pretty sure no one will die in this fight because that would be such an anticlimactic way for either of these characters to die. I'm guessing Togashi is just trying to get the readers interested and back on the hype. Only time can tell though. |
| Viz translation is available What we Know about bookmark: -Chrollo can maintain that page's ability even after closing the book. concurrently with an ability on another page -is an ability to use two stolen abilities at once -Chrollo only has one bookmark -the true advantage of the bookmark is not having to hold the book - is an original ability from Chorllo |

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. |

| AHHHHHHHHHHHH~ I get so frustrated reading through these threads that most times I don't bother to post... but dear Feebas was this a grand chapter and a delightful treat. I'm pretty sure a majority of people need to go back and reread to catch themselves back up, since a lot of the complaints seem to have been dispelled already. I know I need to do some rereading. For serious, though. Trust in Togashi-sensei. Whether you like the dude or not, he knows what he's doing. |

| Hisoka vs Chrollo?? I was not ready for this at all :O Throughout the whole chapter I was keeping my guard up thinking Togashi was going to switch to something else xD. I honestly love both character and wouldn't want seeing none of them die but if I had to choose someone it would definitely be my boy Chrollo :P About time Chrollo got an upgrade in power. While he was always one of my top favs characters in the series, his fighting style wasn't really to my liking, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how he fends off with both of his hands free now. Great chapter, a bit random considering what we had going on before but who's complaining lol. #TeamChrolloInThisBitch |
 |
| Wow, guess that took everybody by surprise. I'm thrilled and scared by this, I mean I love Hisoka but I honestly don't see him coming out alive if Togashi really go through with this. Not only I still think Kurapika will end up facing off Krollo again, since he must be kinda mad with the chain thing and he killing Uvo, but well... It would be kind of a downfall having the head spider dead now. My guess is either Hisoka dies or they both get out alive somehow (even though, if not done right, can also be a downfall. Keeping Hisoka alive just to please the fandom? Méh, give a good meaningful death and let me mourn it for a very long time) |

| I do not know how to feel about this. I know many expected this fight but to me is a bad timing because i was so focused o seeing all he new developments with the Princes, Kurapika, Hunter Association, Gin etc. I wanted to see the whale ship sailing off and games beginning after all that build-up and no matter how cool this fight is suppose to be now it feels like it's taking annoying time from the big plot of the new arc. Of course i assume he throws this fight here because he wants to somehow associate this guys with the Dark Continent travels after they finish this but still it takes away from the fight because it just becomes a procedure we want to get rid off as fast as possible. |
