Hisokas bungigum has the property of both gum and Rubber

[@ayoubhadi3583]

#suggestion I think the cards Hisoka puts are hints at the spiders his going to kill, its 5 cards of 3 and 2 aces, since he already killed 2 spiders, I think he will probably kill another one along the leader, then either die or lose interest in the spiders after killing the leader. probably Machi number 3 will be important two.

[@Bulletproof208]

The way the scene was set up heavily implies otherwise, but i think that turning to the owl may not be his greatest idea (hisoka knows the owl and killing him will make the cloth abilty vanish from chrollo's book) so he may attack him just for the fun of it

[@nothanksthough]

​@Bulletproof208 there's no way owl is on the boat to be killed

[@Hat-Trick]

@@nothanksthoughI think they mean that Hisoka will attack Bonolenov thinking that he’s killing the Owl. Togashi has mentioned that he targeted Shalnark and Kortopi in order to reduce Chrollo’s options, so Owl isn’t a great disguise for Bono.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Most abilities revealed in this arc seem to be situational and tricky, not basic like the abilities from the old arcs. Even some Ryodan abilities, like from Franklin and Machi, started looking basic compared to most abilities from Chimera Ants to this point. Togashi's decision are going in the direction of highlighting the strategic factor, which already existed but now it's stronger.

[@artyparty8166]

This is rapidly becoming my favorite arc so far. Well paced, intense drama, many different point of views, different "battlefields", different motives. What saddens me is the nobunaga might die soon in my opinion. And the possibility of Chrollo and other members not knowing how other members have died or are dead.

[@micahmcfadden8082]

I swear people complaining about no fights but this is built like a political battle on top of an underground war with multiple powerful people not apart of either involved with intense grudges. Everything is a battle atp

I have read somewhere on reddit or some website or maybe even KZbin that maybe chrollo asked bonolenov to disguise as hisoka but never did I thought that bonolenov would find hisoka and vice-versa. But I am not disappointed tho !!!! I was rather quite happy to see Hisoka again !!!

[@Deutungshoheit]

This chapter will be pretty popular. It has relatively little text for HxH standards, so it’s easy to read and it’s mostly about Hisoka and the Troupe. Togashi was even willing to give Hisoka some peace by saying fighting the ants wouldn’t have done anything so satisfy his kink anyway. 😂 Benolenov got the most shine in this chapter. People were speculating that he isn’t even that strong, but one punching Linch and being that useful puts him on the level of the others for me.

[@SolidSnake240]

I mean wasnt it stated in the story that the PT are among some of the best nen users? Idk why people underestimate them so much

[@Zerbaxa599]

​@@SolidSnake240 I think it is a power creep problem. They are introduced relatively early so as new characters are introduced it is easy to forget their stated strength. Usually in shonen the later characters are introduced the stronger they are.

[@AdHominem-001]

​​​​@@Zerbaxa599 .... and they're skills are rather: simple 🤷🤦 (probabily to teach the espectator about Nen in York Shin Arc). Look at Rinhigh (bio Hazard) or Liham (predator) habilities. But yeah, the Ryoudan are TOP Lvl, way better than an average Nen User, because inteligence/strategy plays a great role in this manga and not only a "my skill is better" cenario 😂.

[@Yonkage-ik5qb]

Bon's strength (as measured by arm wrestling) was actually rated as 8th among the members, which is about in the middle. Nobunaga (swordsman using shu), Shalnark (manipulator), and the specialists of the group: Shizuku, Pakunoda, and Koltopi were lower. Right above him in strength is Chrollo. So I'm not sure why people ever thought he was going to be weak. Chrollo got into fisticuffs with _the goddamn Zoldyck patriarchs_ and Bon is only just weaker than he is. A scrub like Linch is three levels too weak to be a challenge to him, even if his transformation ability uses most of his strength as a trade-off.

[@MaybeLastMaybeNot]

Thinking about it, what Killua said to Gon during the Chimera ant arc is pretty somber in retrospect. Back then, we all saw the "Sometimes your light is so bright I have to turn away" as being about how positive he was, refusing to believe Kite could be dead and set on finding and rescuing him at all costs. But in retrospect, it's Killua acknowledging how destructive Gon is to the both of them, and that he will have to turn away from said destructive light. It's not something I thought about until the boys went on their seperate ways after the Nanika arc, but Killua may very well have already realised it, considering how it was Gon's destructive attitude and stubbornness that got Killua's hands almost permanently injured during Greed Island. Knowing what Killua saw of Pitou and how he had to knock Gon out to stop him from entering into a fight with a being strong enough to rip Kite into pieces in front of them. Still wanting to rush ahead and return there. I think the reason he had go on his way away from Gon is twofold, considering that he saw Gon willing to destroy himself entirely to get revenge, himself got dragged into the Chimera ant conflict because he couldn't leave Gon behind on his own, had to fight ants on his own because Gon made himself a target on his date with Palm, was basically alone on the ant mission relying on his speed to try and avoid dangers and having to do it while Pouf was spreading himself over the entire battlefield, was the one who had to take Komugi basically hostage as she herself preferred staying with the ants; with what Gon was willing to do, and he himself being left to mourn his slowly dying husk in the hospital, continuing to follow Gon in his adventures after he is healed would have hurt him constantly, both physically from the situations Gon would drag him into and emotionally from seeing someone he cares so deeply about self-destruct at every given opportunity(Getting himself into an encounter with Hisoka at the arena to punch him and fulfill his wish from the hunter exam despite being a blip on the clown's radar in terms of power, making himself bait for the phantom troupe, getting himself into Greed Island and almost losing both hands to Genthru's bombs when he kept pushing forward while the bomber seemed genuinely hesitant to use his ability and trying to get him to give up, rushing into NGL again, sacrificing himself to beat Pitou). The second reason is Alluka, and how Killua wants to give her some semblance of an actual life after she spent her entire existence being locked away and treated like a science experiment while they try to figure out her rules. If he keeps going with Gon, he will be including her in that path of destruction. Gon's light is definitely a light, he has good intentions, but he is also inherently selfish to a level rivaling Ging and even Isaac Netero. The fact that his biggest concern after he is returning to a normal life isn't what everyone is doing and where they are, seemingly oblivious to the war two of his friends are now part of, but to ask Ging how he can get his nen back speaks volumes to that selfishness. Mito is another person he always hurts through it, as he basically abandoned her the same way Ging did to follow in his footsteps after she raised him, something she did after Gon himself was abandoned in much the same way. People have often compared Ging and Pariston to Gon and Killua, but I would honestly say Pariston seems to be Ging's Hisoka more than he is his Killua. I think Ging himself forced away whoever that would have been through his actions in much the same way Gon did Killua. The story is very focused on how characters are shaped by and deal with the pain they feel. Gon chose to repeat the actions of his father, the abandonment by whom is very clearly something which still haunts him considering how he still has attachment issues to surrogate figures in his life, like refusing to believe Kite is gone even when faced with a stitched up zombified corpse. He himself is willing to trample those who care for him deeply, like Mito and Killua, to chase the distant possibility of this hero he imagines Ging as. Killua is choosing to change and not repeat the mistakes of his family, which has lead him to run away with Alluka in order to give the both of them a chance at a somewhat normal and positive existence, though in many ways he is also running from his problems, as replacing a butler with a shapeshifter to hide the details of his escape would indicate. Kurapika has let the pain of his clan's death simmer and is now boiling with a deep and constant anger, choosing to not only stoop to the level of those who hurt him but potentially go lower and even give his life to hurt them in return. I think Leorio has been intentionally left out as the odd man out to ground the group and give them a solid ground to stand on, considerint that, despite his seeming incompetence, he was a key player in all of the important events in the story(stood and challenged Hisoka in the exam despite knowing he would lose leading to the clown's fascination with and continued involvement with the group, which directly contributed to Kurapika being able to link up with him and work together against the troupe in York New, during which Leorio was also a very important plan during the nabbing in the dark which ultimately resolved the conflict down the line, he skewed the election and turned public opinion against Ging, he got Kurapika involved in the Kakin conflict after recommending him for the rat position when he was made he boar, he is now probably going to be involved with Halkenberg's funeral as part of the medical staff that were treating him.)

I hope that in your deathbed, far into the future, you'll look back into this moment, and think to yourself, as your life flashes before your eyes, "I burned the words 'Beyond Netorare in the Cuckin' Kingdom' into thousands of people's brains." and then promptly expire feeling fulfilled about your life.

Ya, I think Wang is definitely working with Morena, lol Not only because of the way he acted in this chapter but I was rereading some past chapters & this would also explain why he smiled at that corrupt military guy that was trying to sell the location of the Hal-ly base awhile back. I think his exact words as he smiled were something like "don't worry, we'll kill them all", after the military guy said he wouldn't feel comfortable unless all the Hal-ly members were killed. So I'm pretty sure Wang meant he & the Hal-ly were going to kill everybody, not just him 😅

[@Yonkage-ik5qb]

He's also insanely lucky, and I wonder if that's an unspoken part of his nen abilities. Sure poker-with-extra-decks can be won through bluffing and charisma, but just hitting a Triple 7 on a slot machine is pure luck. As established through the Risky Dice in Greed Island, luck through probability can be manipulated by nen. Maybe that's how Hisoka always seems to come out on top even in the face of very unlikely circumstances.

[@josiahlikestodance]

Who gave Hisoka the info about the Princes and nen beasts? Wang talks about a Joker. Hisoka might already be in contact with Morena. She might have gotten him to Tier 1 as a worker for her own plans of tearing down Kakin society. As a type of contractor for her. The person Morena is looking for might be the Vice Boss of the Char-r. If she has Kenny in her pocket, then getting the other boss would make it easier for her to have complete control over the majority of the ship with exception to tier 1. Hisoka might be planted in tier 1 by Morena to assure that she always has the ability to act in Tier 1 or even to just allow her to have access to the Tier. If this is all true then just getting that other boss would actually help her to ignite the “beginning of the end”. Just a theory. I’m almost 100% positive I’m wrong, but I’m still so excited for the next chapter.

I don’t think so, the DC is a battle of survival with nature that has no winners.

[@xxcagedriotxx]

Chrollo's ( who it seems to be based on the page layout ) thoughts regarding Mr Lisnorth has me curious. Based on the news report, if he is dead, that means the troupe found him before the series even began. If that's the case, why continue to operate as the Troupe? I wonder if that death was a fakeout and they've finally closed in on him and his associates in the Kakin empire.

I love seeing bits and pieces of Hisoka's psyche in this arc, Togashi is always surprising us and evolving his character in ways I didn't expect. Seeing that Hisoka, the most depraved guy you know, views himself as "vanilla" is insane. His referencing to battle styles as "kinks" really puts into perspective how twisted his reality is and how he really views one-on-one battles as the purest form of intimacy and pleasure if it's with the right person. Violence, romance, and lust are all in one for him. He isn't just horny to fight anything strong, he is attracted to human nature and what humans are capable of evolving into when they harness their inner strength and motivation. He wants to experience the euphoria of getting to know a person's power and making them fall apart like his house of cards.

I can't be the only one who feels like the troupe might be falling apart, right? They split up and are all over the lower levels. Franklin ditched everyone and is just bumming around the cafeteria chatting with the mafia every now and again. Chrollo, the head of the spider whose strongest trait so far has been his leadership and planning, being the one who calls the troupe back together and makes 4d complicated plans all the time to both keep them together and get an end benifiting them all, has essentially told them to split up and do as they please while he charges forward in a blind rage. The beggist evidence to this that we have is his interaction with Bonolenov about Metamorphosen. Bono, revealing an ability he had kept to himself to Chrollo, telling him the details of how it works, was essentially offering it up to Chrollo for the book, but Chrollo, instead of taking the chance to execute a complicated plan to get back at Hisoka, sends him out as a fake Hisoka to get them the chance of reaching Hisoka as fast as possible in case he is in the top levels, which has now put Bono in the line of fire as Hisoka almost certainly noticed him with that line about playing with himself. The panel with Chrollo walking by the screens is also important, as Shizuku isn't with him and wasn't with Bono, and her fortune was to die if she is seperated from the group. Nobunaga is shaping up to possibly be his successor with how good his leadership is proving and how he is also filling the role of strategist for the others now that Chrollo is blind with rage. Nobunaga and Phinks in general seem to be actually good guys deep down and are certainly the most respectable of the troupe along wiht Bono. Feitan is a sadistic psycho, but seems genuinely commited to whatever Phinks and Nobu are doing and I have no doubt would stick with them if the group fell apart. Bono himself seems to have had his own agenda, considering he hid an ability from Chrollo, THE leader of the troupe. Kalluto and Illumi got arrested together and, considering the two of them are with the troupe on very conditional basis, might just be returning to the Zoldycks after this, Illumi may have even outright lied about his reasons to be there and may be on a retrieval mission for his bro, like he was always doing with Killua. We haven't seen much of Machi, but she is now on her own agenda against Hisoka after he humiliated and violated her with that sticky gum hug after he revived. I'm starting to think Chrollo's anger is going to be what breaks them as he looses sight of planning and unity. We even have some of the others seemingly recognising it with what internal monologs about the numbers he refuses to replace.

[@MaybeLastMaybeNot]

Could Hisoka's backstory actually be more connected to the troupe than we think? We have basically no idea where he came from. The officially endorsed Sui Ishida origin manga already has him out and about doing what he does, even implies he intentionally had himself found by the circus to learn nen or some other reason. We get some information that his mother may have been important in this whole thing as he does mention her. Hisoka, as much of a murder clown he is, often lies by omission rather than deception, the only people he really went out of his way to bamboozle were the troupe. Another detail is his weird connection to Machi. By all means she shouldn't be interesting to him, yet she is. Despite taking an interest in her the same way he does with the troupe, he specifically goes out of his way to spare her. He seems to treat her with the same "gentle" approach he does Gon, but without any inclanation of doing it to develop her potential for him to play with later as he does him. The embalmer from Meteor city might be the point of convergence here. We haven't been told what her ability does, but Sarasa's body was reassembled and looked lifelike. Machi, from training under her, got her strings she can use to reassemble things, but the wounds and scars still remain even when she does. What is the first thing we see when her and Hisoka interact for the first time after his fight with Castro? She reattaches his arms with her strings, and he recreates a perfect skin texture with his sheet of paper. Could Hisoka be the other half of the "embalmimg" ability? Another student or even potentially the son of the embalmer? The anime ommited the part where Hisoka bit a chunk off of his arm to scare Castro, for which Machi scolds him as she is now missing a piece she needed to reattach and it won't heal properly. With what we know happened to Sarasa, the second half of the embalming ability should be able to cover a wound like that, which texture surprise does. And in that same origin manga Hisoka was hunting down a serial killer who prayed on the weak, which would be fitting of a troupe member, even if he did it for his own murder clown reasons.

I've somewhat predicted Bonolenov's death when I learned of his ability of Metamorphen. When I think back on Shizuku's fortune from Yorknew, I thought to myself, is Bonolenov going to turn into Shizuku at some point? Then being alone in the darkness, the part from the fortune, seems to be the inevitability that's going to happen to Bonolenov. ... Damn, I liked Yummy Mummy, he squished the bug that killed Ponzu.

My guess is that they’re aiming for Prince Tyson, the probably weakest member currently aside from Fugetsu but she has competent guards, while not being out since she’s in critical condition, in a very guarded room and the same for prince Marayam who has an overprotective mother and guards. And Tyson being the kind naive sympathetic sister would probably be the only one willing to go to Halkenburg’s funeral unless Togashi Surprises us and has Tserriednich make an appearance.

My interpretation of what hisoka meant about his preference in fight partners is that he likes testing himself against another individual so he prefers fighting someone responsible for their own nen so no joint types or hatsu’s facilitated by someone else ie the Kakin ritual pot. I doubt he would mind someone like knuckle bine fighting him with his nen beast thingy since it’s an extension of a person I don’t think he’ll see it as an animal that won’t fulfill his satisfaction of competing with another person he’d just think of it like chrollos clones or even his own bungee gum.

[@gambacomuna]

My theory about HxH is: We will discover that the person responsible, the mastermind, for the death that gave rise to the spider was the 4th prince. Kurapika will see that it won't be possible to kill the prince alone and while the rest of the troupe deals with Hisoka he will have to ally himself with the head of the troupe to defeat the 4th prince. After recovering his eyes, he still can't forgive the ghost troupe and clashes with its members, which leads to his death. In the end, it will be the end of the troupe, the end of kurapika, and the end of the 4th prince. The only one left alive will be Hisoka. Before he dies, the leader of the troupe will be able to answer the question: who am I? Kurapika will be able to give up part of his thirst for revenge and ally himself with the troupe, and Hisoka will no longer be a villain with only a thirst for blood. A tragic ending but with many lessons and a sense of justice (symbolic for Kurapika and his fans) for the death of the monstrous 4th prince. I think it will be possible to make a comparative analysis with WW2, in which the 4th prince is clearly a N4z1 and enemies need to unite to defeat him, as happened between the USA and the USSR
