I think even against non Phantom Troupe members Kurapika has to be in the top 20

[@joaoramos7160]

Absolutely. The only chain restricted to the Phantom Troupe is chain jail - he can use judgement chain and steal chain/stealth dolphin, for example, on everyone, and both are instant wins (as judgement chain enforces a condition determined by Kurapika and steal chain enforces zetsu after the hatsu of the victim is stolen). And Emperor Time proved to be pretty effective against Uvo, as he was able to hang for a bit on hand to hand combat with one of the best enhancers of the series and heal his broken arm within seconds (due to the buff on enhancement from Emperor Time). And Kurapika is also one of the most intelligent characters. Imo he would win with relative ease against Knuckles, for example.

[@Professor_Fiction]

Kurapika video soon. It’s not that he’s too weak, I just don’t know which number placement he exactly belongs in. He’s a very complicated character to analyze especially for a ranking

[@Professor_Fiction]

Morel might be a good matchup for Killua but I think Killua is overall a better combatant. Morel would have to go into the fight with knowledge on how Godspeed works, because it’s a surprisingly subtle ability. If you ask me it would take a lot of trial and error to figure out that it’s automatic, he can’t just glance at Killua and know how it works, and if Killua can freely bombard Morel with attacks until then, he won’t be looking too good

[@jonasc4386]

I been waiting for someone to make a video of the top 20 finally

[@joaoramos7160]

Kurapika is being underestimated here. The only chain restricted to the Phantom Troupe is Chain Jail. He can use, for example, Judgement Chain and Steal Chain on everyone, and both are instant win conditions. Ofc is not that easy to hit the target, but Kurapika is one of the most intelligent characters on the series, and he's shown himself to be pretty tricky with the set up for his chains. Also Emperor Time is quite busted, as he was able to hang with Uvo, a beast enhancer, for a bit while being a specialist (furthest away from enhancing). Also his enhancing buffed by ET showed to make his Holy Chain really effective aswell, since he healed a shattered arm in seconds. He would win without much trouble against Knuckles imo, and could fight with every character of the top 15 (Killua godspeed is quite tricky, cause I think Killua would assassinate him in seconds lol)

[@FiFiFilth]

Proficient Nen users outclass raw power in this series. Togashi has shown this time and time again. I think the Succession War is doing a great job of showing what can really be done using Nen. What makes Ging, Beyond and Tserreidnisch the strongest Nen users are there insanely intelligent use of Nen. Being able to make curses, see into the future and come up with new Hatsu on the spot. They work in ways that are much more similiar to Kurapika. These kinds of Hunters with their versatility rank far above others. I think we are going to see insane things that are going to give us a new perspective.

[@yattzz69]

The thing that makes me think about adult Gon vs Meruem is that Meruem attempted to kill Pitou when he hit them but did no damage, while adult Gon hit Pitou and did crazy damage

[@creeperman1295]

Good video! Razor is probably the weirdest character when comparing him to others, so an honorable mention is definitely fitting for him alongside the Zodiacs imo. It depends on how much you think Razor being in charge of all of the emissive systems on Greed Island (or at the very least "most spells" as Chapter 145 put it) nerfed his abilities, what with creating the Nen Devils for the volleyball game alone significantly nerfing him before fusing the Devils back into himself. He could be absolutely insane if you highball him, but I highly doubt we'll be seeing much of him again if at all to really know lmao. Just a minor point for the Chrollo section that doesn't really change too much, but it should be noted that the 'Ben's Knife' Chrollo used wasn't really comparable to a normal/"standard" poison knife that he just infused Nen into as you implied a couple times during that section. Each knife was noted to be a masterpiece in design, had Silva himself note how the knife must be good if it could cut him, and had Post-Mortem Nen that could be sensed by Gon and Killua, after all.

Amazing list. I honestly don’t think I have a problem especially with what you mentioned about Killua having inconsistent amount of time for how long he can use Godspeed

[@ohIear]

You lost me when you put Killua above Feitan. Not only does it not make sense, it wouldn't even be realistic within the way Togashi writes the story. Killua at his peak should be 17th. There's literally nothing Killua could do against Feitan, Morel, or Kite. They all outlast his godspeed ability and deal with what's remaining fairly easily. His power is efficient and great at aiding his survival, but it's not the greatest offensive ability and definitely not enough to handle intelligent nen users like those three before him specifically.

[@sptflcrw8583]

Killua is already physically pretty close to feitan, if he landed a hundred hits on him before Feitan could defend himself, he's fucked.

[@Professor_Fiction]

Togashi has in no way indicated Killua is weaker than Feitan by the Chimera Ant Arc. He rips through Officer Ants with his bare hands, way more efficiently and easily than the other troupe members do, and with Godspeed rips literal chunks out of Pouf’s body. He’d blitz Feitan so bad he can’t see, do serious damage with every single attack, and by the time Godspeed runs out, Feitan will not look good assuming he’s even alive. From there Killua could just stop all of Feitan’s attacks with lightning bolts that can paralyze Royal Guards. Feitan’s intellect is also wildly overrated. He has never won a battle using his intelligence, Killua has

[@bromous1446]

@@Professor_Fiction I’d agree if half the top tiers, and a significant number of mid tier fighters can accidentally counter Killua by taking time to explain their technique, over analyzing and strategizing to fight Killua, and using techniques that don’t require movement, or require standing still entirely. Morel hard counters Killua since most of his fights consist of him staying in a single spot and analyzing his opponents. Same with kite who most the time just picks a weapon and stands still to find an opening. And if both of them are able to counter whirlwind effortlessly, and Feiten is equal to them (by your list’s interpretation) then he’d by category be above Killua just by association. And it makes sense for a multitude of reasons. He doesn’t counter the same way the other 2 do, but he should have superior stats to Killua when it comes to nen combat. Since he has more nen experience and training, realistically speaking, he has higher aura quantity, and likely output. Meaning that his nen defenses > Killua’s nen offense, because they’re both transmuters with only 80% proficiency in enhancement, which as explained by biscuit in GI, means the offense would be ineffective. Even assuming that just means his hits do half the damage, it wouldn’t be enough to instantly beat him, and it would just deal damage. And as damage accumulated on Feiten, pain packer becomes stronger. And there’s 0 argument that Killua would survive being hit by rising sun, and likely any other pain packer variants.

To be honest, despite you stating biscuit's power. I don't see her losing against uvogin ang above. same with zeno and silva, i don't see them being weaker to hisoka. Silva once killed a troupe member and Chrollo didn't get his revenge against him

[@yadafty7671]

Well silva only killed a member who wasnt a part of the original members from meteor city. The troupe doesnt seem to care too much about these members. Afterall they allowed hisoka to join the troupe after he killed a member who wasnt from meteor city, but when kurapika killed one of the original members they got the whole troupe together to hunt down kurapika. If silva did kill an orignal member then theres no doubt the troupe wouldve went on a war against the zoldycks.

[@michaelrowland6336]

Shout out to Palm. Once she became an ant she got a huge power increase. Killua at the time couldn't do a dam thing against her. Aside from that though we didn't get much from her. Also thought Bisky deserved an actual spot rather than a mention. Again, I know we haven't seen much of her, but given her age, who she studied under, and the fact she's an ultimate nen user, I think she has a lot going on for her. Her nen ability doesn't do anything in combat that's an issue I guess. Good video thanks.

Great video, absolutely love your stuff. Only thing is I think the logic is at least flawed as fuck when it comes to Killuah, Pouf, and Yupi 😂 The way you see it, Killuah took a chunk out of poufs head so they are at least even. I’d say, if Killuah can take a chunk out of someone’s head then he is clearly superior. EXCEPT when that someone survives like it was nothing lol. In that case I would at least give the edge to the person who is slightly irritated at their face being cut in half. I won’t deny I’m also biased. #pouf4life

[@asianpablo1574]

It’s important to note that a lot of your chrollo comparisons were drawn by when he fought Zeno and Silva. You misinterpreted a lot of the fight, which is why it’s so hard to power scale in this series. Chrollo wasn’t trying to kill either of them he was only waiting for illumi, who he hired, to kill the Dons so Zeno wouldn’t have to kill chrollo for the bounty. If chrollo actually wanted to kill them he would’ve done a similar setup to what he did against hisoka, so you can’t use chrollo not putting these restrictions and abilities as a nod to hisoka being stronger than Zeno and Silva. Zeno also strongly implies that chrollo is the strongest, as he blatantly says if you were trying to kill us the fight would play out a lot differently; meaning that he already knew it wasn’t gonna be a battle to the death as well.

[@Professor_Fiction]

I agree, not sure what you mean by misinterpretation? I couldn’t go into super deep detail because I had to discuss all the other characters too but I did go into very great detail in my Chrollo video, but I believe I did say Chrollo was holding back

[@saxisolousdood276]

I don't think they misinterpreted anything, they said that Zeno Chrollo and Hisoka are interchangeable, and honestly I'd put them in the same hierarchy if I were to estimate, I do think that Hisoka's strikes were much more threatening to Chrollo throughout the heavens arena battle when compared to those of Zeno and even Silva, he could actually tank a whole lot of their attacks and pretty much come out with minimal damage, so especially since Zeno and Silva are so specialised at knowing how to deal a killing decisive blow and Chrollo took so many of them I actually think that brings Hisoka's attack potency up a lot, right now I'd say Hisoka(revived) is the strongest, but Chrollo would still be lower on the list cause of his higher potential to become stronger

[@asianpablo1574]

@@saxisolousdood276 hisoka revived is probably the strongest since he pretty much got a power up after his death, but my interpretation is chrollo is basically the Batman of the universe. Zeno pretty much implies that if chrollo wants to take anyone out he pretty much can with enough planning and the amount of abilities at his disposal that aren’t revealed. It prob goes hisoka = chrollo (without planning), Zeno, hisoka (revived), and chrollo (with planning).

I don't think there is any way Adult Gon is stronger than Netero if we were to put them against one another, it's not just the gap in intelligence and analytical skill between Meruem and Gon (which is huge to begin with) that would prevent Gon from beating Netero, it's just that Gon doesn't have nearly as much durability as Meruem. Meruem is a litteral tank, Gon's anatomy isn't remotely similar. Gon might never figure out how to break Netero's defenses first of all but also even if he was as smart as Meruem he would have died long before Meruem started to feel the dullest aches of pain from Netero's strikes in their face-off.

@@CameronkAK Where do you get the "Gon and Meruem aren't far away durability wise" thing? Nothing points to that I'm 100% sure, Adult Gon has 0 durability feat he actually has the opposite by having his arm cut off by Pitou (even if willingly) and Meruem isn't just durable because of nen but because of his chimera ants king anatomy. Also on the "outlast" Netero, in what way? Meruem didn't outlast Netero, he pierced his defences, they have pointed at the fact that Netero's stamina is off the chart (because of his training mostly) so it was probably the only outcome and adult Gon doesn't come close to matching the intellect of the king.

My gut says Kite should be higher but man’s just got too many unknowns in his arsenal and not many feats, I would be curious to know how big a boost nen gave to the ants physicals as, Zazan pushed Feitan to at bare minimum mid diff (I’d argue high personally) meanwhile Kite one shot Yunji, like even with nen I can’t see Yunji giving Kite anywhere close to the trouble Zazan gave Feitan, and given just how strong Pitou is I find it hard to believe that someone scaling to just above a squadron ant with nen would be enough make them that excited But again that’s just my gut feeling that Kite and Feitan should not be comparable I ain’t got any actual feats to back it up 😅 Also love how Uvo above Feitan is being preached never understood why so many people thought Feitan was stronger just bizarre to em Overall very solid list

[@blameurwifi257]

Where would you rank base gon?

[@Professor_Fiction]

He wouldn’t be above Knuckle, at least without the Rage Boost. Rage Boost is probably too complicated to rank without concrete feats but he could be physically stronger than everyone before the Royals

[@Tomiwa101]

​@@Professor_FictionDude, your bias for Gon is absolutely ridiculous. What exactly is "rage boost" when he's up against the likes of Uvogin who you placed below top 10?Bro, HxH ain't Naruto or My Hero Academia.

[@Professor_Fiction]

During the events of the Palace Invasion Gon was Rage Boosted due to his bloodlust against Pitou. It is confirmed that in hxh powerful emotions can increase Aura, that’s not a Naruto thing lol

[@jaeheonlee1764]

kinda funny how I could recognize korean subtitle cuz i'm korean zzz. overall I agree with the list

[@fan4every1lol89]

Adult Gon's speed and reflex is probably the best just behind Meruem and Netero

[@JakeTheSnake222]

Pitou's assessment of Gon vs Merium in the anime and manga are completely different.

[@trollverse171]

I’d say Razor is definitely above Knuckle, doesn’t Greed Island run on his Nen? If so he’s pretty much never at 100% and seemed pretty confident on confronting the Phantom Troupe plus he’s got that energy blast which seem pretty destructive.

which book are you using for the stats? idk if i’d use it because togashi released information that would disprove parts of it. therefore it’s unreliable.

[@Professor_Fiction]

It’s the Yuyu Hakusho guide, Hxh section. I’m mainly using the guide as supporting evidence it’s not my main source, which I think is the safest way to use it. This is why I didn’t want to rank Biscuit despite her high stats, it’s just not consistent

Adult Gon isnt beating Netero simply bcs he doesnt have enough experience or durability to tank his buddha like Meruem did, and he only managed to do that bcs of his extreme durability.

[@Artryom]

Experience matter very little like with Meruem, his physical stats should be enough.

[@eliasandradeschindler9402]

Honestly adult Gon is so hard to rank, because his only showing was a no diff fight. To me the way he *outclassed* Pitou, especially speedwise looked was an even more impressive combat fest than either Netero or Meruem have displayed. Also Meruem fought Netero with the handicap of not wanting to kill him, while his thoughts implied that he he could have ended it at every moment otherwise. I believe there is a good chance that adult Gon can overwhelme Netero by stats alone, maybe even speedblitz him.

[@wooskys8685]

@@eliasandradeschindler9402they fail to realize this. he basically did what netero did speed wise, but backs it up with a serious punch. ( Netero flung Pitou and dealt 0 damage, Gon took them out of the fight )

[@Tomiwa101]

​@@eliasandradeschindler9402Did you just say Netero will get speedblitz by Gon? 😂 You clearly don't understand how fast the fight between Netero and Meruem was. And the argument of Meruem not wanting to kill Netero is weak AF. Meruem went all out against Netero and Netero was still able to block his OP attacks. Everything is not about attack especially in HxH. Defense is also very crucial...and we know Gon doesn't have solid defensive moves in his arsenal. With that said, if Netero uses his 100-type Guanyin Bodhisattva which is perfectly balanced in attack and defense, what's Gon gonna do? 😂 Remember he got his arm chopped off and was bleeding. At least, Netero was capable of sealing his wounds. Gon is basically an OP version of Uvogin. You also talked about Netero not doing damage to Pitou, again, another weak argument. Netero had no intention of fighting Pitou and had already predetermined the matchups. His attack was to push Pitou as far back as possible.

[@eliasandradeschindler9402]

@@Tomiwa101 1) No I said we do not know how fast/powerful/durable Gon really is and because the only speed feat we get from him is probably the most impressive feat in the show we can not rule out that he could blitz Netero. 2) How is that working out in your head? Do you imagine Meruem going 100% against Netero to go through his defense and then taking a second to look for an opportunity for not lethal force? Of course not, Meruem would have to rule out every possiblity of death before even attempting to break through, that could mean ruling out more than 80% of opportunities that Meruem saw, that result in the death of Netero, again, we do not know exactly, we just know Meruem considered it a massive handicap. 3) The only time we see Gon get injured it is by post mortem nen of a royal guard, do you realise how hard that is to quantify in the first place? The way post mortem nen is described it would not shock me if Pitou was boosted by the factor 4 or more, which again could mean that attack could have even killed Meruem. Again we do know nothing. Also it is very possible that Gon could have avoided the attack if he deemed it necessary, he just didn‘t because Pitou was already dead. 4) Also why do you imagine Gon and Netero fighting the same way as Netero and Meruem, when we have never seen two similar fights. The King and Meruem played a game, they both enjoyed the challenge, thats one big reason why that fight even happend that way. We have no idea how a fight between Gon and Netero could go, how do you know Gon wouldn‘t use his emission hatsu? How do you know Gon couldn‘t just throw out en so powerful it incapacitates Netero? It does Sound strange but when the raw stats are that lopsided can you really rule it out? 4) I don‘t really care if you have Netero beating Gon, my point is it is very much a close call in Neteros favour and possibly an easy stomp in Gons favour, so I know how I would rank them.

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

The strongest 2 team combo would be Killua + Nanika, since she can grant him any wish.

[@JustinL186]

Don Freecs has the best feat in the series by a comical margin, surviving in the dark continent for hundreds of years when Netero gave up after like a week or something and there's bigger threats than the Chimera ants there from the very little that the V5 Nations know about it. He has to be #1

[@perfyyy7262]

but the fact remains that we don't know if he actually survived for hundred of years. it was only one of two theories. we don't know much about don freecs for him to be included in any top tier list.

[@Jhyrkan032]

10:14 Killua didn’t mention Kite because he was talking about the malice inside the En. Since hisoka and Illumi have so much malice in theirs while Kite’s had none. But Pitou just outclassed their malice. But idk who would win in a fight between kite and Illumi.

[@Atlas9766]

unpopular opinion, Gon n Killua were never top tiers in the series, aside from adult Gon form only their potential n talent were top tier but they never really made it to that level, so Knockle should not be on this list

If I understand something wrong, pls dont blame me, but you said that you inform yourself to manga chapter 400, but the real top 3 wasnt even in this video, 3. Maha Zoldyck, 2. Zigg Zoldyck and with way to far distance number 1 Don Freecs, if you want anything to know comment me

Gon shouldn't be here. His adult transformation was a one time thing that should have killed him, and it can't be used in regular combat. Also, Feitan is way too low. His pain packer is one of the most powerful abilities we have seen, and his speed is also crazy.

[@cainandabel7059]

tbh meruem did not struggle against netereo, meruem took almost no damage, only felt little bits of pain and finished the fight in under 10 seconds most powerful characters: 0. post rose meruem ( godlike) 1. meruem ( much stronger than gon and netero) 2. netero ( gon has no chance against netero, gon would never be able to touch netero) 3. adult gon 4. royal guards 5. chrollo ( since we know nothing about ging and beyond, but i can imagine them being stronger than chrollo)

[@AgarioSplitrunner]

Fun fact: None of those 100 nen abilities could defeat Meruem. Only 1 admin card that Razor used can kill Meruem to forcefully teleport Meruem into lava, dark continent or a cave with 25 rose bombs. And imagine, Ging owns all the hax admin cards, and he likely got his own private ultrahax cards that he wouldn't let a convict like Razor use. Meruem is dead faster than you can say hiatus x hiatus

[@Professor_Fiction]

We don’t know if those cards work outside of Greed Island, which is impossible to prove. That specific card works by kicking people off the island, which Meruem never went to the island, and is not a Greed Island player

[@AgarioSplitrunner]

@@Professor_Fiction We saw that Elena needs to greenlit Gon's 3 slot cards to be able to use em outside, and Ging could use this box that Gon used to bring them outside. He used it outside. Razor also teleported the spiders to a place outside of GI. Additionally, but this is more head cannon, in the series we see that Ging is up to date about Gon all the time, like how he knew about Kite saving Gon from a bear, and later about Gon being in coma etc. But Ging was never actually at Gon. So the theory is, ging used the greed island spells to track Gon, and know everything about him.. remember, it is heavily implied Ging created GI for Gon's development, maybe he needed Gon to conquer the Dark continent and find Don Freekz

[@Professor_Fiction]

@@AgarioSplitrunner yes, but that specific card only works on Greed Island, because it kicks people off greed island. You can’t use that card to kick someone out of your house and send them to outer space.

[@AgarioSplitrunner]

@@Professor_Fiction actually. Did you know. Accompany and 'Magnetic force' are teleport cards that can be used outside greed island? After they've been recognized by the system. The admin card is that exact same spell card as Accompany, but without restrictions. Razor used it to teleport everyone except himself (i.e., there are no restrictions). But your first comment makes sense: Do they have to be players? Were all of the spiders already registered players when Razor used his spell on them? If not, then Meruem does'nt need to be a player. Otherwise, Ging has a spell card which is a doll that grants wishes (did he got that from the dark continent)? He can use this doll to make a wish: Meruem is now a registered player in the system

[@gunslinger9786]

I think Chimera ant Palm should have made the list tbh

[@KanderUdon]

Pretty apt list, although killua is too high. Its very well done though, crazy how much I agree with.

[@Kraken-lm1cx]

Great video, must say though, Killua > any of the 16, 17, 18 trio seems odd to me. I mean I don't think he grows enough in the CA arc to go from him and Gon together being weaker than 1 arm Kite to being Kites equal. Ik Killua is most probably a top 20 strongest HxH person we've seen to date but he's definitely overrated by the community. Youpi was already electrified by Killuas previous attack so there's a high likelihood that he was moving slower than prior. Also, Knuckle was dodging Youpi pretty easily before he was tricked into attacking. To say that Killua could be runner up to the RG is CRAZY.

[@linamalakramache7100]

Youbi is more durability than human killua stronger than knuckle and shot and morel

[@linamalakramache7100]

The narrator said the speed difference between Yubi and Killua is huge Yubi didn't have time to scream and said I am powerless in front of him and once he punched Yubi it is considered an achievement while Nakal and Shot were unable to touch him and expresses Killua's strength without exaggeration and Yubi is a powerful physical strength so Killua's technique seemed weak and if he used it against a human how would its effect be and Narukami paralyzed Yubi and the latter as I said is powerful in durability and physical strength if he was shocked then a human might die Killua is strong and skilled but he only lacks experience other than that he is special and talented according to Bisky and Rise said his talent is terrifying it did not reach that level until he was in his late twenties and he turned his aura into electricity at a young age which surprised Bisky and Tsugaru and his technique he invented in a week and used it for the first time against Yubi after two months of training and he is one of the most dangerous hunters

[@arinix3618]

Zeno confidently said it himself that he can beat Chrollo 1v1. One of information we have on Zeno's power was he can do 300m radius of En. That's almost 20x wider than Nobunaga's En. But Chrollo being able to cut Silva also shows how he is way above other members of the troupe. Silva must be faster than Cheetu since Zeno said it wouldn't matter if Cheetu learned that Silva was charging towards him. I think Silva and Chrollo is about the same level, and Zeno is on top with Netero.

[@Professor_Fiction]

Zeno only said that because Chrollo was holding back. He said it would be different if Chrollo was actually going all out. Zeno admitted he’s far beneath Netero

[@arinix3618]

@Professor_Fiction I don't think Zeno was talking about Chrollo going all out. Zeno was saying that Chrollo got the potential and if he stops playing around (by actually reaching his full potential), it would be hard for him to win.

[@Professor_Fiction]

Zeno’s words were literally “though it would be a different story if you were really trying to kill me” and Chrollo replied “he knew.” Chrollo was holding back because he wanted to steal Zeno’s ability and Zeno knew it

Feitan should be higher I mean how are for example how uvo or illumi are suppose to survive his pain packer and this apply to a lot of people in this list. But beside that great video and great list 😊

[@yujirohanma7086]

Just a few things. I thought Pitou was a "he" now I'm not so sure. But I'm sure that the reason why he's happy before his death was the fact that what will kill him was a sacrifice that no one could've ever done. Gon has the most potential in the show and for him to make the "ultimate sacrifice" to get that power and kill Pitou, that's why Pitou was happy and contented about his death. Sorry I kept on using "he" 😅

[@tjadams98]

Decent list tbh. Everybody seems to be in the tier that they fit best in. However I don’t understand how Hisoka got ranked so high. He’s physically superior to chrollo. And? That’s not necessarily impressive. Do you really think he’d beat zeno? Someone just as smart if not smarter with more experience. Same goes with Silva. Especially if Hisoka thinks illumi is a good fight. I literally just cannot see Hisoka beating zeno whatsoever. Hisoka nd illumi at the bottom of that tier with zeno chrollo nd Silva at top. Also kil seems to lack ap feats so he’d be a bit lower on the list for me. Other than that good job

[@Professor_Fiction]

Hisoka’s feats are against a more serious, and stronger Chrollo than the one who fought Silva. The feats Hisoka has in that fight are just better than what Zeno did. Zeno only ever fought a half serious, not bloodlusted and 0 prep Chrollo, while Chrollo was trying as hard as he possibly could to defeat Hisoka. Hisoka’s ability to no sell attacks from Chrollo and tagging him and drawing blood with simple attacks is much better than Zeno or Silva who only drew blood with a small cut to the cheek, and otherwise Chrollo blocked or dodged absolutely every attack, even in 2 on 1. And I think Hisoka’s feats of intelligence are at least on a comparable level

[@tjadams98]

@@Professor_Fiction true but I think there’s a little more context than just that. U say chrollo was half serious, not bloodlusted. Bloodlusted I agree with, why would he only be half serious tho? He was trying to capture their abilities, that doesn’t imply that he wasn’t fighting seriously, just that he wasn’t bloodlusted. And also keep in mind zeno and Silva were fighting cautiously from the beginning too. Zeno was using that time to analyze chrollo. Silva even notes to be cautious, and it’s a part of their nature to only make moves that gurantee victory. Like literally once they made up their mind to kill him they just ragdoll him. It’s disingenuous to say in the beginning they were going all out nd he was going half speed. There’s absolutely no way that statement u mentioned was saying chrollo is above both zeno and Silva together. He even admits a simple Ko punch from zeno is too much for his defenses. The only thing chrollo actually does in this battle is scratch Silva. Like the only thing lol

The cope is unreal. Zeno said he had to sacrifice himself to beat corollo in a 2v1 fight.

Thing that confuses me about zeno and silva is i don't they went all out against chrollo, infact they likely knew about chrollos contract with illumi and this was all performative. Even zeno telling silva to take him down with chrollo and him casually standing up suggests this. I think Silva and Zeno are masters of bluffing.
