[@DavidNwokoye]

Halkenburg fits into Hisoka's personality test perfectly. An emitter that is easily heated up

[@LotharTChips]

I'd argue manipulator, but definitely one of those two.

[@fardin4243]

Hum

[@knightcommander5694]

@@LotharTChipshe can’t be manipulator. He has to many restrictions to achieve the same lvl of manipulation of his target as Shalnark and Illumi. And by the way aren’t Nen Beast affinities represent Princes affinities because they were made from their hosts aura? In this case Halkenburg in enhancer. You may say it’s strange because his arrow is laying perfectly with emission but considering how big his aura combined with his followers I don’t see the big deal here. It similar how Meruem made Pouf and Youpi abilities better just because he has so much aura and talent while being in different category

[@LotharTChips]

@knightcommander5694 here's why I say that. He's quite definitely a logical sort and progresses at his own pace. As an example, he went to visit his father for days in advance to get the guards to relax to create the best opportunity for his little revolt. Then with a gun to his father's head and worked up his resolve his first action is to argue. His personality appears to me most strongly like a manipulator. Then we have the bow ability. The arrow itself appears a pretty clear example of an emissive attack, but what about the primary function? Well, the ability largely resembles Sayrid's ability, emissive attack hits the target, then the attacker can send consciousness into and control the target. This function is described as manipulation. And this is his first instinct. No guarantee that his instinct is his type but, it's a good pointer. As to the restrictions this ability not only controls the target, but overthrow their consciousness and inserts a third person's consciousness. Additional it has the ability to bypass most or potentially all defenses. These are plenty to excuse such conditions, even though no such excuses are required as restrictions are voluntary. As to the nen beast yes it has enhancement, but it also uses manipulation. It uses this in its memory revision, where Kurapica states that this type of ability lines up with manipulation. Knowing which comes from the Prince would be quite difficult. I'll not give a 100%, that is just my best current assessment

[@knightcommander5694]

@@LotharTChips it’s good reasoning but it seems that you forgetting that you can use any type in your ability except specialization if you wish. Halkenburg ability is that strong because it requires other people aura. That’s why I said that if you have huge aura and good restrictions you can pretty easily use others nen-type. And while it’s not 100% confirmed, I strongly believe that nen beast nen type is the same as the princes. Plus halkenburg fit to Hisoka personally test as enhancer as well. He is very stubborn and simple. He was opened about his views and tried to make his father cancel succession war for days. It was a really big moment that made him change his narrative

[@javierpatag3609]

The idealist who becomes so absorbed in his idealistic goals that he will undertake the most cynical, most ruthless means to accomplish them... I really think this is how Halkenburg's story in the arc will play out.

[@Kovugamez]

Sounds like Ironwood from RWBY

[@herplederpledoodledoo]

It's really interesting how this contrasts with One Piece, his other channel's main focus. If this were OP, Hakenberg's way forward would be to reject both being king and bowing out. Destroy the ritual itself, either by discovering the power of a Nen vow via Kurapika, or by hiring the Gentai Ryodan to overpower whatever entity is protecting the king. Defeat the trolley, so to speak.

[@knightcommander5694]

This was I thought immediately after this chapter where he awakened. Especially after his own man express worries that his ideals conflict with his ambitions. Since all prince represent different type of rulers from our history, I understood that his role is being naive revolutionary turning into dictator

[@Randombaconface]

[@wadewilson8011]

You must be new. The manga has been on hiatus for years now. And this channel has been doing HxH content since at LEAST 2020 to my knowledge. So no, whenever you see a new video, it's just because this guy is singlehandedly keeping this fandom alive. The manga probably isn't ever coming back. Togashi is in terrible shape.

[@mz1929]

[@Javetts]

I've always thought Tserri and Halkenburg's relationship came about from the fact Tserri seems to value general talent and competency over everything else. Tserri could have treated Halkenburg better than his other siblings simply because Halkenburg is extremely talented

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Halkenburg for sure has one of the cooler acquired nen abilities, and his nen beast is really good but he stood out among the rest to be one of the final candidates and plz hiatus be over already

[@EVAATfield]

Halkenburg is a simple fellow really. He’s a pragmatist who is powered by his utilitarian idealism however since the succession war has put him into a position where he cannot power through it through his idealism, he is left with nothing but his need to win in order to save to as many as he can. He wants to win, and he wants to win fast.

[@manguy01]

I always felt that the reason that Halkenburg tried to kill himself is because he didn't want to force his family to kill him. That would be inevitable if he stayed in the contest. So, if he was going to die, anyways (by refusing to fight), he may as well use his death to make a statement. It won't accomplish anything. But no one would be able to say he died because he was outplayed. Cold comfort. And it probably only matters to Halkenburg himself, but if you're going to die anyways, may as well make it known why.

[@aminjeanbredimus7157]

@2:09 I don't think most people noticed, but I have a pretty dark theory about King Nasubi, especially when I looked at Momoze's burial and counted the coffins. I found it especially intriguing when I noticed that there were actually enough to fit all for each of the Hui Guo Rou princes. This has led me to believe that either the succession war is a farce for one reason or another, unless he would decide that he'd take a drastic shortcut out of monarchy, which I can't see happening.

[@laquanlucas6953]

King Nasubi has 14 coffins for each of the prince he stated that their aura of life energy will be fuel for great tree of kakin. Togashi will elaborate more about the great tree of kakin it has a lot of significant.

[@shnorkeythefourth4572]

[@user-co9cp4vj6g]

That circular train track though...

[@Yonkage-ik5qb]

That picture of the trolley problem was a modified joke one that shows the track looping around to kill everyone no matter which track it takes. It's a commentary of inevitability and total powerlessness of the person at the switch. It seems symbolic of Halkenburg's situation, where even though he might seek to change the system to prevent death, everyone dies anyway. His desire to avoid becoming the villain leads him right to it.

[@larryh4017]

[@TheNuclearGeek]

I think Togashi is hinting at the idea of "control" being the key. Control on Nen, control of the guardian Nen beasts, control of the country, etc. I think the whole thing will turn when someone is able to obtain full control of their guardian Nen beast or control of/ability to destroy other's beasts. It's precisely because no one has done it before that I think that is where it will lead. I think revealing Kurapika's ability to transfer Hatsu was done when it was done for a reason. I think Halkenburg's "suicide attempt" wasn't really one and the King misinterpreted and misjudged Halkenburg's actions as so often happens in HxH. You don't go from pacifist to warlord like that. Halkenburg has likely been playing the long game and misdirecting. Everyone thinking Tserriednich has been playing him but it's actually been the opposite. Now he's trying to find the path to control everything. If he (or someone else) can take control of or destroy the guardian beasts, they win. Tserriednich's second Nen beast will either be the uno-reverse on whomever does gain that ability or they will learn from Camilla's 2nd Nen beast how to defeat Tserriednich's two beasts. Imagine if Halkenburg can upgrade his ability to transfer his guardian beast's will into other's guardian beast for example? It's just an on the fly idea, but he certainly has the will. Imagine if he can take control of Camilla's Nen beast to revive him after death instead of her, for example.

[@shyguy9833]

The issue with the trolley problem is that it assumes the human spirit doesn't exist. For there is always a third option to that stupid meme: controlled derailment. To find a third way out and stop the problem in the first place, that is the strength of the human spirit.

ultimately his Nen ability is great enough that he could ultimately win by simply having his followers possess all the other 'princes's' and have them all unalatorally agree to drop out of the sucession war. the war won't let an individual prince drop out but if all of them agreed to back a single prince as the sucessor it might be a loophole.

by the way, the painting saturn devouring his son actually wasn't titled that by the artist, it was found in his home after death, and that's what people called it. it is unknown whether that was the intent of the artist and there are some other interpretations, iirc. it's still a valid point, a lot of people see it as that and it's well-known, so it's likely that it is what togashi meant by including it, but idk.

@NewWorldReview / Liam: Pretty likely it's Sumidori back in his body and Shikaku is dead because prince Benjamin has inherited Shikaku's Culdcept ability. If Shikaku is still alive in Sumidori's body, it would imply Nen abilities are tied to a person's body, not their soul.
