The Hunter X Hunter Thread (New anime series has begun!)

Chrollo too hax imo

That art is pretty awful. I canā€™t even tell what is happening in like 20% of the panels. Almost no backgrounds either making it kinda hard to get a feel for what is going on. I might read it but 10 pages in I honestly have a hard time which character is which because of how bad the drawings are.

Of all the times to give a prediction you decide to do so now, lolā€¦ As if we donā€™t know whoā€™s clearly winning the fight at this point.

New Chapter:

YOOOOOOO

Spoiler

I thought he was legit dead for a sec but when he came back I wasnā€™t really surprised. Hisoka hunting the phantom troupe is gonna be interesting.

Spoiler

For a second I thought Hisoka was trying to get some pussy from Machi

I am weirdly disappointed in him, almost seems like a petty thing to do after taking the L like that.

[details=Spoiler]So if Hisoka kills the remaining Spiders who had their powers taken by Chrollo this reduces the number nen styles Chrollo can use on Hisoka if they fight again, right? 10 left?..I had no idea there were so many members in the Phantom Troup. I wonder what will happen when Hisoka tries to kill Illumi and Killuaā€™s younger brother Kalluto, lol.

OK, out of all the members in the Phantom Troup who stands a chance against Hisoka? Only Phinks and Fietan come to mind right now, possibly also Nobunaga.[/details]

What? Illumi isnā€™t a member of the troupe. He knows Chrollo personally, but he is not a member of the troupe.

Yeah in 1v1 combat Nobunaga is supposed to be one of the strongest, but as the spiders put it ā€˜His abilities arenā€™t good for anything but 1v1 combatā€™. Hisoka could lose to to Bonolenov, Chrollo, Phinks, Nobunaga or Feitan in theory. Donā€™t think anyone else would have a shot, especially if he got the jump on them.

Hisokaā€™s sudden ability to make nen limbs was a bit weird, as that would have been really beneficial several instances earlier in the show. Wonder if his resurrection is ā€˜temporaryā€™ with some contract like until he gets revenge on Chrollo
or something like that making him Kurapica 2.0 that Togashi will just drag out to keep him alive until the end of the series.

Donā€™t like the ass pull that Chrollo pulled his punch at the last moment so Hisoka didnā€™t get blown to smithereens. Chrollo is not the type to pull his punches, but it is what it is. Fucker is stone cold.

My choice of words were confusing, I meant Kalluto not Illumi. I only pointed out that Kalluto was Illumi and Killuaā€™s younger brother. Kalluto is in the Phantom Troupe that was my point.

Spoiler

I can see Bonolenov doing better against Hisoka than Nobugun. I could imagine Hisoka dissarming Nobugun and taking him out fairly easily unless he has skills that we know nothing about. I think someone who can fight hand to hand will do best against Hisokaā€¦ either that or having a really powerful nen technique on the level of Chrolloā€™s which none of them have.

ElderGod am cry.

Spoiler

I REALLY wanted to see super saiyan shalnark again. FUCK

(Nice to see youā€™re still alive, @Stabby.)

For the record, Nobunaga is the only member of the Spiders/Troupe whose Hatsu we still donā€™t know at this point. In fact, the only specialized ability weā€™ve seen from him at is really focused En.

Same, especially given the implication of whom he killed if thereā€™s 10 left already.

[details=Spoiler]Sigh. I really liked Machi, but she should have known better than turn her back on him. Additionally, Iā€™m a bit annoyed that I guess weā€™ll know never know anything about Korotopi.

Also, if there were 13 spiders again, then I guess that means that the black exorcist guy from Greed Island probably did join their group given Kalluto already replaced Hisoka. Even if thatā€™s the case, though, that means they still have one new member we havenā€™t seen since someone had to replace either Uvogin or Pakunoda and Iā€™m assuming that exorcist guy stands in for the latter given how esoteric his power is.[/details]

At least what happened wasnā€™t an outright new ability. Just a sort of dubious extension of an already existent one.

Hisoka lost to Chrollo hard. We havenā€™t seen him up against a fighter-type his level-- Phinks, feitan, Nobu and Uvo (rip) are the combat ones, so itā€™ll be interesting seeing how he goes after them. Chrollo is going to be pissed though

he went from the underdog to fucking terrifying again.

Heā€™s not terrifying, heā€™s a chump. He got the fight he wanted, got destroyed, and now he is killing the non-combat spiders?

all of the spiders are combatants hes just planning on killing them one by one to weaken chrollo. that last guy in particular played a huge role in his defeat.

They arenā€™t. It isnā€™t a combat group, its a gang of thieves that can presumably all fight/defend themselves, but only some of them are specialized for combat. Killing them to weaken him doesnā€™t make sense-- he wouldnā€™t steal all of their abilities since then they wouldnā€™t be able to use them, he just wanted to use this combo to fight Hisoka.

If heā€™s going to do this shit then I definitely donā€™t see it going well for Hisoka since Chrollo can just get predictions done for all the spiders, and whatever other shenanigans he has ready.

Spoiler

Liked? She isnā€™t dead, Hisoka just immobilized her and told her to pass on a message.

Yeah, while the Spiders are certainly no saints, heā€™s just coming off petty here since Chrollo might legitimately not have otherwise given a fuck about him if he just left them alone after this.

[details=Spoiler]Iā€™m counting her as dead because unless the Spiders indeed werenā€™t back up to its full capacity of 13, which I guess Hisoka would know if he helped Chrollo get his powers back, then would have to kill three people rather than two to get down to 10 already and last we saw Machi, she was looking pretty screwed since she let Hisoka get the drop on her.

Also, it makes little sense for him to ask her pass along a warning and then go out of his way to kill both Korotopi and presumably Shalnark aside from them presumably still not having their powers at present.[/details]
