"Don't come at me." "You're gonna be 'comed' at" 💀 hella bad wording bruh lol.

[@kc_h7h]

That guy is right. They are not THAT close to kurapika. They probably feel the same way about him as wing and zushi. Hxh doesn't force main charachters onto eachothers journeys. For example there was no reason for leorio and kurapika to come with gon and they didn't. Thats something we never see in anime and probably all of fiction. Hxh writing is too realistic in this sense

[@alyonachan]

Ya. I'd say the really close ones are Gon and Killua but even they will have separate arcs. Kurapika and Leorio meanwhile have too different priorities and personalities so ofc you won't see them together a lot.

[@happilyevernever4289]

All of fiction is pushing it. There are countless fiction out there that has arcs for the main characters and not one. You probably meant in mainstream shonen specifically.

[@kc_h7h]

@@happilyevernever4289 that's not what I was talking about at all in my comment. I was saying that most fiction have a cast that stays together for most of the series but hxh doesn't do that. The 2 (big) main charachters haven't interacted eachother for 80% of the story

[@Frosty-fs1de]

It was an an anime mistake.. Kurapika didn't wear his chains while retrieving scarlet eyes after bidding for them, or else troupe would've definitely noticed and jumped him.

[@burgerwarts]

My headcanon is that he was using In and only we could them

[@Lightkie]

I thought you were just saying that it's a typical mistake in anime but you are right that this was only in the anime adaptation, I didn't even notice the difference in the manga. He does not show the chains until he needs them and even then, he only conjures the divining chain when looking for Neon (with a sound effect bubble, so it's deliberate) instead of all five.

[@bakagakure6435]

I know very very *very* little about Japanese history and folklore, but I do believe Nobunaga's name comes from a real life Japanese public figure and samurai Oda Nobunaga

[@cedriquebenjaminpedri1961]

Nobunaga is the most famous japanese historical figure. I doubt anyone with a half-decent education don't know about him...

[@ivanhernandez8070]

Nobunaga Oda was one of the most brutal warlords in Japanese history, and also the first great unifier of Japan during the Warring States period.

[@mrcx6142]

Just some clarification even though you probably know by now: - There is no betrayal in the Zoldyck situation. It's business, simple as that. Silva & Zeno took the job of killing Chrollo from the ten Dons. Illumi took the job of killing the Ten Dons from Chrollo. Both sides knew about both deals. It was just a matter of who completed their job first, hence why Illumi called immediately. Because if he finishes the job first, the other job is void and his client (Chrollo) survives. However if Silva and Zeno had killed Chrollo beforehand, Illumi wouldn't have killed the Ten Dons. Or, well, maybe he still would have since in contrast to Silva and Zeno he does seem to enjoy killing without reward more - but he wouldn't have been obliged to do. - As for the Zoldyk children: Everyone you know is male. Even the one dressing (and perhaps identifying?) as a girl is biologically male. - As for what Zeno said: He is very confident that he can beat Chrollo 1 on 1 as long as Chrollo doesn't get serious about killing him. Essentially, Chrollo has to put everything on the line and go for the kill in order for the battle to be more open. This says a lot about the strength of both Zeno and Chrollo. But it doesn't necessarily mean that Chrollo will immediately win once he goes for the kill. It's just that he would give Zeno a much harder time. - As for the prediction and the limbs: It's a prophecy in the form of a poem or at least poetry. It's FULL of metaphors. Don't take everything in there literally. You didn't ask about months when the fortune said "the remaining months gather to mourn". But you only think about Chrollo literally losing half of his limbs rather than, well, the spider. Little heads-up, something many people don't know: Neon's prophecies play out within a month. Also, they are prophecies that can technically be avoided, but only if you know the prophecy beforehand. That's why her ability, her fortunes are so sought after. Basically, she tells you the default of how something will play out, but if there's an opportunity to act differently, the outcome of the prophecy can technically be avoided. It's just that every prophecy we have seen on screen has played out as it was.

[@MarioPrimePlays]

Since it won't be mentioned anymore in the anime, these are Chrollo's conditions regarding his Bandit's Secret ability. This is how he steals people's Nen abilities. 1.Chrollo must witness the Nen ability in action with his eyes. 2. He must ask questions about Nen and be answered by the victim. 3. His victim's palm must touch the handprint on the cover of Bandit's Secret. 4. All of the above must be completed within one hour.

[@jorgepintogonzalez4518]

And the previous owner of the ability must be alive otherwise the ability disappears.

[@SheetBeat]

Don't worry Sam , theories are just theories 🤣 I haven't seen the full reaction, but if you're wondering the little one there is Kalluto. One of the Zoldyck brothers (I've been calling him 'her' for a while!) who took out the guards. The Illumi reaction was cool. I think he's pretty underrated. As for why Kurapika couldn't tell apart the copies - Conjurers make objects out of aura. My first reaction to this was like 'why couldn't he just use gyo to see the aura?' But Conjurers make tangible objects that can even be seen by non nen users. There's no aura left that's hidden by In to see, if that makes sense. You could even fool a master Conjurer with this trick. That's just my impression anyway. Illumi and Kalluto didn't betray the Zoldycks though - there's a comment that explains better. But they just took separate contracts from dad and grandaddy Zoldyck, conflicting ones. When it comes to fulfilling jobs, the family members don't always help each other out. Hisoka was trying to call Kurapika, but it didn't go through since Kurapika was on the phone with Gon. I'd say Kurapika is close with Gon and Killua - he went to rescue Killua in a potentially deadly mission because he was that grateful to Gon. He directly said to Gon in the Hunter Exam that he wouldn't have gotten through if not for him. But Kurapika is putting off giving info to them such as the Zoldycks 'killing' Chrollo because he's overprotective. The sequence of stuff that plays out this episode is just so rough on Kurapika. Finds out the Zoldycks 'killed' his targets before him. Sees the 'bodies'. Then he has to bid on his own clan's stolen eyeballs, to gift to a girl who will treat a body part like a pretty little accessory. They're not the real ones, but Kurapika dosen't know that. I think 2011 is better as a whole and these scenes aren't badly done here, but 1999's anime does them ever better. Ofc, 1999 dosen't have 'Kurapika is drowning in indescribable emptine- DOREHODO' 😎

[@alyonachan]

I like the 2011 better because it's close to how the manga did it. The way 1999 overdramatized and extended the "Kurapika is moping" scene didn't connect with me at all.

[@SheetBeat]

@@alyonachan Fair enough! 1999 does have a lot more filler, and it's why I'm glad I watched 2011 first because it's quicker getting through stuff. It did omit one key thing from the manga though in its first episode, which is my big problem with 2011. Whether you like the tone of 99 or 2011 though it's up to opinion

Kurapikas eyes don't give him special powers when they glow red btw, that's just the condition set by him in order to achieve emperor time

[@In-The-Zone]

His Aura specifically spikes and category changes when they are scarlet so yes they do.

[@roverlimao1944]

The scarlet eyes gives kurta clan a boost of strengh. So when Kurapika learns nen it's only natural that he would have a boost too when the eyes turn red, but since it's nen now the buff is more complex

[@PROTVGONIST]

*mild spoiler warning for the watchers* His Scarlet Eye ability is innate and has nothing to do with his conditions. He only imposed a condition on two of his chain abilities: Chain Jail (for the Troupe) and Judgment Chain (can only be used if his eyes are red). The rest of his chains (healing chain, dowsing chain) + Emperor Time aren’t restricted.

[@Okkotsu86275]

I think one of the reasons that Kurapika didn’t notice anything fishy about the Phantom Troupe, is because of the emotional state. The young man is going through a lot of emotional turmoil right now and really isn’t in the best space of mind. I think if he was in better state of mind, he would have noticed something off about the Troupe. My heartbreaks for him, he is in so much pain.

This knowing the future skill is such a bad skill from storytelling pov, i mean random thugs knew their fortune but ten dons didnt know how is that even possible. 😑

[@alyonachan]

They probably did. But knowing is not the same as being able to actually prevent it. Say they increased the security and the trio of Illumi + Maha + Kalluto just went through it like paper. also, pride may play a factor...as in the dons thinking they can "tough this out", just like the thugs knew their fortune in the first auction but went anyway either coz they were grunt class and in for the job or had to go for rep points and thought the security would be enough to protect them (like in the requiem where they gathered 2500 armed men and didn't expect 12 people to just massacre them like flies).

[@alyonachan]

Also keep in mind that the existence of the Mafia isn't that reliant on the ten dons being alive. The mafia communities in each continent would just promote suitable / tenured principal members to "donship" and move on from there.

[@pedrohenriquedasilvaroque1085]

What Alyona Chan said, and more Neon's hatsu creates predictions in the form of poetry, composed mainly of metaphors, even if the ten dons had received predictions they would have to interpret them as best as they could. In addition, Neon's predictions do not provide specific information.They might have known they would be attacked and die, at best they would know it would occur within a month, perhaps a vague idea of ​​the time, the weather, plus a vague hint of who the attacker is, like: the one who carries needles.

[@gamesong6600]

@@alyonachan not convinced. Thugs knew exactly where they will be safe. As long as u r not at the location of death u can avoid it, within the predicted time, thats what chrollo also said. All they had to do is not be together or be at different place. Not to mention these are 10 dons and they have immense resources so much so they recruited zoldycs we havent even seen other floor masters, hunters and many more ways to increase their security when prediction is death, and its 100% accurate.

[@gamesong6600]

@@pedrohenriquedasilvaroque1085 thats ur assumption based on the result. What we have seen so far with neon's ability that even thugs were able to interpret how can they avoid death and so there is no reason to assume somehow dons didnt. Chrollo n thugs both concluded that future is avoidable thats the benefit of neon's ability. 10 dons are regular customers they shud have known what to do

[@halt9072]

Just about Zeno's comment, he basically said that Chrollo would very unlikely beat him if he wasn't serious about killing him. I think it juste means if he were serious, it would be more than just very unlikely but we don't know to what extent. I still wouldn't take it as Chrollo would win for sure though

[@mylo_sk]

This is a controversial topic I tend to lean the other way, Zeno was actually being modest. As we know nen is complicated and Zeno is an assassin. In terms of every stats in nen Zeno outperforms chrollo but the issue is chrollos hatsu. Unlike most hatsu, Zeno only speculating that he doesn’t know what stolen ability he has possibly a one shot stolen nen. So Zenos statement was just to let chrollo know that he knew he was trying to capture not kill but by no means does that diminish it as not being a serious fight. I don’t want to go extra deep without spoilers I would have explained nen extremely well and why chrollo had to take a lot of time even to fight hisoka

[@halt9072]

@@mylo_sk I think we share the same opinion. Chrollo's strength relies in the abilities he holds and if he can prepare I'm pretty confident he can beat a lot of people. Zeno is pretty smart and experienced, he understood what was Chrollo's stolen ability used for and what was his goals in an instant. I'm confident if Chrollo had to fight him unprepared, Zeno would be able to calmly and soundly guess what ability Chrollo is using and react appropriately. Chrollo winning in that scenario would be unlikely to me, even if he's extremely skilled.

[@whiteknight8734]

Yeah, a lot of people share different opinions about this but all things considered, Zeno is likely to win against the fight against Chrollo if both went all out. Considering Zeno didn't know anything about Chrollo and figured out Chrollo's techniques, abilities in matter of seconds and how to counter them, I would say if the longer the fight go on, Zeno's probability of killing Chrollo increases. The simpler logic would be, they both are exceptionally strong and powerful but Zeno is far superior in terms of battle experience and that would play a big factor here.

[@inigosusaetaherrera4230]

@@halt9072 I agree with you both, most people misunderstood what zeno said thinking he confirmed that chrollo is stronger than him, but that is not the case. a 1v1 between those 2 would go 50/50 I would say, they are in the same league, but zeno has more experience so I would give him a slighlty advantage.
