I liked his better when Chrollo lost his powers. It was a meaningful moment even if it was implied that he'll get them back. Reintroducing that fag like this is disgusting.

kek, maximum delusion.

Well, didn't expect this to happen so soon after Togashi decides to come back. So far kinda underwhelming but the fight looks like it just got started.
>>
>>140477953
I hope so. Kurapika is my favorite protagonist and Chrollo is my favorite antagonist.
>>
>>140477820
For a change of pace, lets stop arguing about who would win and focusing on how Togashi will get out of this situation without killing anyone. Aside from Prince interference to have both in the DC I cant think of many ways to stop their fight.

I think it's best to reserve judgement on this chapter for the time being. For either better or worse, things should become much clearer a few chapters down the line.

But seeing as we're here now, Togashi might as well go balls-to-the-wall as far as this fight is concerned.
>>
Well, this isn't intended to be a shitpost or to be bait. But am I the only one who is more invested in the developing plotline of the boat, the princes, the bodyguards, the zodiac, Beyond, and the Dark Continent than in this fight? It's been over a fucking decade since Chrollo was relevant. I would not have minded if he would have been twisted into the main story line at this point but I doubt even Togashi had any clue how to do so, so we get this one off plot line that will probably wrap itself up here. Togashi does such a good job at building these complex plot arcs with a million moving parts. This one just feels like he admits he didn't clean up York Shin arc properly and now randomly decides to give some fanservice.

It just feels like things moved on, I can't get myself back into this fight without some hype.

Also, if one of them is even going to die here, it isn't going to be Hisoka. Sorry you fucking clown haters.

No, I feel the exact same way. This fight came completely out of the blue. Only the fanboys of either character would care about it. For a fight that was foreshadowed well over a decade prior, it feels way too rushed for me to invest in. That is, at least until we get some backstory on what led up to it
>>
Quick question:
The ability he used to manipulate the judge did he have it the entire time ?

Because i could swear i saw another person using this same skill but i dont remeber who it was
>>
I honestly didn't fucking see Hisoka vs Chrollo coming, holy shit.
There's still one month before the boat ride, right? Surely this will tie into the DC plot in some way.
>>
I think no one will die, maybe something will happen and stop the fight or someone will fake it.
>>
>>140478462
Hisoka is far more valuable a character. He can get injected into literally any HxH plotline and make it more interesting. Togashi has struggled to keep the troupe relevant since York Shin and mostly gives them panel space for the rabid fans.
>>
>>140478501
Coming out of the blue and rushed are two very different things. HxH fights are generally pretty short though.

The only thing that felt like he was trying to keep them relevant is their part in CA, their part in GI felt pretty natural since it was linked to the events of Yorkshin.
But even then i'm pretty sure it was also a way to introduce their abilities and Meteor City.

That said, if Hisoka brought the exorcist to him, why didn't they fight then and there?
>>
>>140478517
We both remembered Shalnark, the "adult Pairo conspiracy" spider. He too has cellphone control hatsu. Although a bit different.
I hope for a bit of pre-setup chapters, if this fight even goes anywhere. This fight appears out of nowhere, and doesn't feel right to end with someone's death right now. It would just be emotionless waste. And Togashi seems to be going for a big series finale, and I don't think he would dunk spiders thread like this. It better get interrupted somehow, since I would rather have this as a set up chapter. Qwororff is back in nen game, Hiskoa cornered him and the NEXT time they meet will trully be a last time. With some proper foreground it would turn to be a quick and brutal HxH fight, worthy of ending a major plotline.

>>140478952
This is a common writing technique, having important things only foreshadowed and happening off-screen to make it feel like the story doesn't solely revolve around what's going on on-screen. It's supposed to make it feel like there's more than one plotline going on at any given time and make the world feel more alive.

I'm not asking to be spoonfed, I'm asking that stuff that is this important actually happen on-screen. This is a fight that I've been excited for for like a decade and yet when it actually started happening I was so shocked that I spent half the chapter convinced it was some sort of dream sequence or something that I couldn't even really enjoy it. I guess it's really just a side-effect of how abrupt all this feels, and my point is that if a couple chapters ago we'd seen even a page setting it up I'd be enjoying everything that happens a lot more because I wouldn't be totally overwhelmed by it.

Maybe this would lead to something interesting... as long as Togashi don't hiatus on us after this.

Gotta admit it would be the ultimate trolling but the only time he ever let us down was when Gon went SS3.

I mean, sure, this was an awaited fight but i doubt it would end on death as announced.

More to the point, Chrollo stealing Shalnak's ability is a pretty dick move.
>>

Its just borrowed. He is a thief so he likely has all the Spiders abilities onhand for disposal and convenient use.

>>140479807
There was something about it. Not sure if there's a time limit, but if you bail out of a number of challenges you are out. But I assume that doesn't really affect masters from the top floors since the number of people in position to face you is on the low side.

This isn't a freaking problem. We've seen Gon, Killua, and Kurapica go through training arcs. Leorio did the same shit, and he's probably getting more training right now under Cheadle. We don't need to see it.

Nah, that's exactly what it is. Once Kuroro was done preparing there's no way he would put off fighting Hisoka. It's not in his personality to do so. And realistically, Kuroro would just straight up challenge him instead of it being some big grand lead-up. Incidentally, Kuroro has challenged Hisoka in a no frills manner.
>>
>>140478735
Pretty much.

Its hilarious to see Chrollofags think he's in any way close to being as important as Hisoka.the only chqracter with any deathflag here is Chrollo, especially since he was talking all that shit about how the spiders can still go on without him back in Yorkshin and the others seem to be doing fine in that little CA cameo without him.

Chrollo has literally no plot armor.
>>
>>140480201
Not really? Why there of all places?
Heavens Arena is basically newb city and pretty weakass. Killua and Gon could clear it easily without even learning Nen.

If he wanted strong skillsets why didn't he just sneak into the Hunter elections and bank the Zodiacs?
>>
>>140480183
He probably can't notice it, if it's just Abengane's nen beast that has the curse now instead of Chrollo. Even if Abengane were able to get rid of the curse altogether, Kurapika's reaction probably wouldn't be all that disastrous; he knew from the start that his curse wasn't a permanent solution, and that nen exorcists exist.

No, it isn't. Especially if you're a floor master who gets to fight strong opponents. Also, it's not out of the question that Kuroro went there originally just to get experience fighting a long time ago.

And we know Kuroro just doesn't get his abilities from Heaven's Arena, but there are probably some useful abilities there at the upper echelons.

>this wasn't gradual. It literally just happened.
The build up started in Yorkshin when Hisoka told Kurapika he wanted to fight Chrollo. He gets cockblocked at the end of the arc.
In Greed Island, he's on the look for an exorcist to remove Kurapika's chain from Chrollo, and the other troupe members figure out that Chrollo promised him a fight.
In CA, Phinks gets a phonecall and wonders if it's from Chrollo, implying that he already had his nen back since he wouldn't be allowed to get in contact with the Troupe if he still had Pika's chain.
In the Election, Illumi mentions that Hisoka has been spending his time running after Chrollo.

You're retarded.
>>
>>140480690
Chrollo literally was running away from Hisoka in order to get more hax powers and he even took shit from his subordinates.

Either Chrollo dies (possible since he there is literally no need for him anymore), or someone interrupts (likely if Chrollo is getting rekt and the Spiders jump in).

All the shit you posted is miniscule at best in comparison to the actual salient events of Chrollo getting his Nen back, meeting Hisoka again, becoming a floor master, and the immediate moments prior to the fight itself.

How does this series keep taking me by surprise like this? This is like the opposite of Togashi's usual anti climaxes, instead of building up to a climax then pulling the plug, he cuts out the build up and goes straight to a climax.

It is pretty out of nowhere but it definitely keeps things interesting, I'm guessing we'll have the blanks filled in by flashbacks or dialogue.
>>
>>140480798
Would they care? Murdering dickholes like Hisoka were at the Election, they gave no shits.
>>
>>140478371
This chapter was definitely a momentum cockblock, despite the long-anticipated match-up. I think it would've been better if he included one of the princes watching the match. I hope he somehow ties both of them to the DC arc since everyone and their mom is going on that boat.

>>140481121

Kuroro is strong, but doesn't have the greatest combat sense. He completely mis-used Owl's ability when going up against Zeno and Silva. Since he has so many abilities he can't use any of them in the most efficient way.
>>
>>140481147

The police are gonna interrupt their fight of course
>>
>>140481128
Kurapika needs his closure with Kuroro.
Gon needs his closure with Hisoka.

Neither of them is going to die, something is going to happen.

He's got a million skills and likes to play with his opponent's mind, acting like this is perfectly in character for him.

Pika has moved on, the prince is more relevant to his interests because he was the root cause of his clan's genocide, the troupe was just a convenient tool looking to make money on the black market.

It was heavily implied multiple times in York Shin that Kurapika's victories over the Troupe there were hollow.
>>
>>140481020
Because none of that shit is important and would waste everyone's time. We know he can mercilessly and easily decimate scrubs and becoming a floor master is perfectly believable for him. Why does it need to be shown?
>>
>>140479282
Before he was forced to hold his book to fight and cast abilities so he always was with one hand less.

Now he can fight/cast without the need of holding his book, he just need to put the bookmark in the ability page and that's it, also now he can use multiples abilities and combine them too, the restriction for this is that the abilities must be on the pages were the bookmark is, meaning the left and right page.

Also there are some new restriction for this bookmark that he mentioned to be really bothersome, probably some more complex ways to steal the powers

Blantant bias and horseshit. During the election, Hisoka thought he could kill Illumni for fun in the woods. Killua or Illumni, JUST for kicks.

Its possible Hisoka was wrong or insane, but he's confident enough that he can handle people on Illumni or Sheep's level.

I swear, the way some Hisoka fans are acting, they'd tell you he could beat Meruem. It's fucking insufferable.

Grandpa stated neither side was fighting seriously. They're too high tier to even know the outcome fully.
>>
>>140481635

...

Read the manga. Zeno straight up says that sort of ability will be useless against them. And Kuroro recalls the ability because, guess what it was useless. Kuroro was boneheaded to try to use that sort of ability against Zeno and Silva considering he had fought Silva before and knew what level of fighters they were.
>>
>>140481635
>>140481635

He did. Owl managed to capture a Genei Ryodan member because he used his ability properly. Kuroro couldn't do shit with it because he decided to use it straight up as a combat ability with no element of suprise against 2 opponents. Why the fuck would you think you can use an obvious ability like that against non-retarded opponents?

Hisoka can't lose until he shows his final ability.

If Chrollo surives it then he is in big trub.

Cloun challenging powerful people is no indicator of anything but his own dumbassery.

...Huh, no? Chrollo took out the fun-fun cloth because as a flashy, menacing-looking ability any good opponent would back away and try to study it instead of recklessly going to attack, something Chrollo wanted since his aim was to buy time and let Illumi kill the Godfathers.
However, Zeno saw through all this and bypassed the mind-fuckery by attacking him from long range, hence while Chrollo realized that tactic didn't bear fruit and recalled the fun-fun cloth.
Dunno what you think happened there.
>>
>>140481877
They didn't know what that ability was so Chrollo expected them to hesitate. It backfired though because Zeno had ranged attacks.
>>
This fight is a few tiers below Netero vs. Meruem in terms of skill level.

A serious Netero (he wouldn't fight seriously against Hisoka or Kuroro) would crush Hisoka or Kuroro before they knew what hit them.

Just like with Mereum, except they don't have his insane defense to take getting hit thousands of times.

My post went right over your head.

Kuroro has fought Silva before, so why would he think Zeno and Silva would fall in the first category?

Also, Kuroro straight up says that he wanted to capture them and get their abilities (absolutely insane) and is even disappointed that he wasn't able to do so.

He wanted to buy time because if he wished to succeed at stealing their abilities he needed to fill out all the conditions, yes. Taking out the fun-fun cloth was part of that buying time strategy, which Zeno saw through and foiled. He didn't take out the cloth because he actually thought he was gonna capture both with it, it was part of his strategy to buy time and clear the requirements.

No? You're trying to imply that Chrollo believed the fun-fun cloth would succeed at capturing both of them, which is false.
He took it out because any average/good opponent would feel the danger and back away, sadly Zeno is an excellent warrior and immediately realized his intent - going the exact opposite way and instantly attacking.

The purpose of using Owl's ability wasn't to capture them with it but to buy time.

Look here, were the bookmark is placed he can use abilities so the two pages that get "touched" by the bookmark are available.

They were off-paneled, which equates to glossing over them. And yes, I'm gonna take into consideration the hiatuses.

He said nothing that Hisoka didn't already know by being a Spider for a while, except that he can have up to 3 different abilities for a times, but Chrollo was being a smug fucker, so he didn't really care because he assumes that info won't be relevant. It was really just a detailed explanation for the readers instead of IT JUST WORKS.

He didn't tell anything important, which is what abilities his book have and what are the ones he is using.

He was always overconfident. This dude thought it was a good idea to fight Zeno and Silva at the same time when he could have easily fled and avoided them until Illumi fulfilled his contract.

He's been on hiatus for the majority of the run moron, he has no concern about getting fans back when he effortlessly sells a million+ per volume even now.

He's always just taken the story wherever he wants to go, this is no different. Also it's obvious that the arena allows death matches when they're agreed on by the fighters.

Why would you reveal the details of your abilities to your opponent?
>>
>>140483187
It's not about linear or non-linear storytelling, you colossal retard. If these were minor events, then fine. But stuff like Chrollo regaining his Nen and meeting Hisoka for the first time in years were deliberately skipped over and given throaway explanations all just so Togashi could rush to this fight. This is what a hack would do. Sorry if that triggers you.

Yes, he did expect to do it with the cloth. Again, read the manga.

Once he dispatched his ability, he went completely on the defensive and said he wouldn't be able to capture them alive. It wasn't just to buy time, this fool actually thought he could pull it off.

That's not what he says, he's just telling Gon that the next fight will be in a real battle field and not in the Arena. Plus, if you remember, every one of Hisoka's match except for Gon's has ended up with Hisoka killing his opponent, so I don't get where you got the idea of the referees prohibiting murder.

Chrolo vs Zoldicks was just a sparring match. The Zoldick family and Chrolo knew what was up so they were merely pretending, with only Illumi being serious because his contract had the only reasonable effort:reward ratio. They're strong guys, so they won't scratch their balls while waiting for Illumi to finish his job, but they won't tryhard either.

Why do you think he didn't try to check out the "kusoyaro" ability and strenght during New York and just fuck off or prepare a plan ? He completely respected the prediction of the future without even considering the possibility of outplaying the "destiny", which ultimately is what happened through Hisoka actions.

>>140483305
>If these were minor events, then fine.
What does that change exactly you dumbass? It's still the same common writing process and it's more effective when it's used for significant events, it's left for the reader to wonder what lead to it and piece it together.

>deliberately skipped over
Where? What happened was explicitely stated.

Such as?
>just so Togashi could rush to this fight
You are a goddamn retard, if that's what he actually wanted he wouldn't have waited like 150 chapters to make it happen. Making a short mini-arc about if after GI leading up to it would be "rushing" to the fight, leaving hints in several arcs over the course of 150 chapters is not fucking rushing.

But Neon could not use her ability once Chrollo stole it. While the original spiders are all loyal to him and would just give their abilities up if asked/ commanded it's not actually clear if he remove the ability and the victim can just develop another one or if he removes the nen altogether.
It's never stated if he can give the abilities back either so depending on the case it would be a dick move even if he had permision.

He literally says that on the current fight. For Zoldicks vs Chrollo, then reread that and probably a bit before and after the fight. If you still think there is nothing supporting my claim, you're a "walking her home gently" tier retard who can't grasp even the most basic context so trying to make you understand is impossible.
>>
The fight is going to get interrupted and both of them will get hired on as bodyguards via some hook, probably as bodyguards for the eye collector. That sets up the boat arc for Pika vs. Chrollo with Hisoka trolling around fucking with and killing many of the other bodyguards.

This has nothing to do with him being cocky, and more to do with being a spiritual cuck. He respected the predictions and didn't try to change them because he believes in that shit.
>>

You're right. He's still overconfident though.

>>140483652
Being a practice in other series doesn't fucking justify it being a practice in this one. What don't you fucking understand about that? This shit about "le left to our own interpretation!!" is a goddamn cop-out used by hacks and frauds who couldn't think of a decent explanation on their own.

Chrollo getting his Nen back was explicitly stated, was it? No. He just had his Nen back. That's it. No build-up, no nothing. Just bang. Even if it was stated, that's still worse than actually showing the event.

You're the retard. just because he didn't rush to it almost immediately after Chrollo lost his Nen doesn't mitigate the fact that he still rushed to it during this current arc. No warning, nor hint, the fight just happened. It's inexcusable, and you sucking Togashi's cock over this proves what an idiot you are.

Either way you're just jumping the gun in getting mad, we will probably hear about it later on. The way people overreact about one fucking chapter is absurd, for all we know there could be an incoming flashback but Togashi wanted to start with something more exciting.

La-dee-da. And how is that relevant to this specific series? I'll tell you how: Not. Fucking. At all.

>It's not left to your interpretation you gigantic dumbass, who said that? It's only left for you to piece together, not come up with your own explanation.
For all your talk of backpedalling, this part of your post sure is funny. Yeah, you originally say that " it's left for the reader to wonder what lead to it and piece it together", which can easily be equated for coming up with your own interpretation. I never said anything about coming up with "your own explanation". Those are your words, not mine. You're just putting these words in my mouth for the sake of keeping your own argument from crumbling apart.

>The fucking narrator tells you Hisoka hired Abengane to remove the chain from Chrollo at the end of GI.
I'm talking about the current arc, retard. The actual event of Chrollo's Nen being returned.

>You're contradicting yourself, you acknowledged the build up when you admitted he used background foreshadowing in your first sentence.
Again, I'm talking about this specific arc, not any of the previous scenes regarding this issue in past arcs. You're just muddling your words at this point.

>What's your reasoning behind this? Are you one of those retards who don't know how to use "show don't tell"?
Are you one of those retards who tries to justify the writer being a hack by creating extremely fallacious arguments to support your stance? Yes, you are. Chrollo getting his Nen back as a lead-up to this fight should be quintessential, and should be displayed to the reader, not simply talked about.

>I already explained to you how it was hinted and you even acknowledged it.
Again, you're making shit up to keep your shitty argument on life support.

He has no reason to not go out with everything he got since he has the surprise factor on his side with 4 fucking different abilities and Hisoka is supposed to be the nen battlemaster tactician that have the most simple yet most versatile and useful of nen abilities. He is only giving Hisoka more opportunity to survive and understand Chrollo's thought proccess and what abilities he is more likely to possess in his book.

A draw out battle against Hisoka is the best for him, specially when he has a known fetish for fights and kids and it shows Chrollo's ultimate arrogance, confidence and smugness, which contrasts and doesn't fit his York Shin personality and approach to the future prediction.

Last (you) i'm getting. Honestly just typing this as a food for thought for the lurkers and togashidrones, getting to BTFO even more is just a cherry on top of the cake.

>And how is that relevant to this specific series?
You were saying it being used in other series isn't a justification, i was simply pointing out it's a pretty common technique and complaining about it itself is stupid.

>" it's left for the reader to wonder what lead to it and piece it together", which can easily be equated for coming up with your own interpretation
No it fucking can't, it's two different things with different meanings. Since when does "piecing something together" mean "coming up with your own interpretation"? Do you have some kind of comprehesion disorder?
>Those are your words, not mine. You're just putting these words in my mouth for the sake of keeping your own argument from crumbling apart.
Talk about irony, you're the one who brought up this "coming up with your own explanation" bullshit.

>The actual event of Chrollo's Nen being returned.
Again, between what was said in GI and CA it's practically spelled out for you that Chrollo had his nen back by that point.

>I'm talking about this specific arc
How is this specific arc relevant to this discussion? What kind of arbitrary autism is that? But i guess it's convenient for you since the build up happened since 250 chapters ago and this arc is 10 chapters long.

>creating extremely fallacious arguments to support your stance
It's very hard for me to take you seriously at this point, especially when you put words into my mouth and accused me of doing it, but please do tell me what fallacy i've been using.
>Chrollo getting his Nen back as a lead-up to this fight should be quintessential, and should be displayed to the reader
Not necessarily is my entire point, it's why i also pointed out it's a common technique. Hinting at event in the background and showing their consequences is done all the time and i even provided exemples. You need to show your reasoning instead of just saying something is bad.

Anybody else feel like this is some sort of weird dream sequence Hisoka is having and the minute when one of them gets the upper hand over the other and moves in for the kill, Hisoka wakes up?

I'm pleasantly surprised that we're getting this deathmatch right in the middle of everything else going on. It may not tie into the main plot right now, but it sure is easier to keep track of. I don't want either of these two to die. If they become relevant to the DC arc, they'd make interesting set pieces and/or further Gon and Kurapika's character development. After all they've gone through, how would they react to running into Hisoka and Chrollo now?

I haven't been reading it in forever, but am I in the wrong in thinking it's likely Gon has no actual mom and his dad just somehow got pregnant with him? something about the fact togashi mentions that specific scenario in greed Island with the characters and overall tone keeps making me think this is a possibility.

He could use Nen to protect himself, especially now that he can use two abilities at once.

>>140486362
>You were saying it being used in other series isn't a justification,
It's not, which renders you even bringing it up a moot point.

>No it fucking can't, it's two different things with different meanings. Since when does "piecing something together" mean "coming up with your own interpretation"? Do you have some kind of comprehesion disorder?
Do you? That's an easy connotation to make and I question the intelligence of anyone who struggles to make it. If a part of the story is omitted, and the reader is left to "piece together" the events that happened by themselves, anyone who isn't a retard corresponds that to coming up with their own interpretation.

>Talk about irony, you're the one who brought up this "coming up with your own explanation" bullshit.
No, I fucking didn't. YOU'RE the one who was even talking about "explanations". That was you. Again, you're putting words in my mouth to save the charred and burnt remains of your argument's corpse.

>Again, between what was said in GI and CA it's practically spelled out for you that Chrollo had his nen back by that point.
The last time Chrollo was even seen was way back in 2002 and the Roydan never said anything about him having his Nen back yet in Meteor City. Him getting his Nen back was completely glossed over. Accept it.

>How is this specific arc relevant to this discussion?
You must be a retard. That's the only explanation for this shit. Chrollo LITERALLY JUST RETURNED in this chapter, in this arc. How the fuck is it not relevant? The fight and its lack of build-up is the entire reason we're having this conversation, you dumbass. The problem is you defending it by using the tiny snippets we've gotten years ago as an acceptable excuse for a build-up when it's not.
>>
>>140485435
>Backpedals into pretending that they started fighting from that page i posted and they didn't trade attacks prior to that
Where the fuck did i say that? The only thing Hisoka said Chrollo "held back" on is the explosion, read the previous page. He also even said it could have been a checkmate from the start.
>"i'll start with 1 and later introduce you to 3 more" despite saying he will get serious
He's basically saying he's going to use more abilities if they don't work, what the fuck is the correlation with Toguro here?
>Chrollo's ultimate arrogance, confidence and smugness, which contrasts and doesn't fit his York Shin personality
He's all of this because he used a weaker explosion than he could have? What? At worst you could say he underestimated Hisoka's ability to dodge it but you're exaggerating.
Also fucking Zeno literally calls him a cocky child in Yorkshin you dumb nigger.

Also i'm calling you a redditor because you reek of one, all the meme-spouting and the BTFO BTFO at least makes you a cancerous faggot. You even admitted going to the OP general which doesn't surprise me considering it's a /v/ cesspool.

It's Chollo whatever what's wrong with that?

>>140486885
Well there is a possiblity that Emperor time could be stolen, so I guess Skill Hunter is the best.
>>
>>140486885
Emperor Time has more uses, power and versatility
Skill Hunter doesn't even teach you how to use that shit

Emperor Time is far superior
>>
>>140486362
>It's very hard for me to take you seriously at this point, especially when you put words into my mouth and accused me of doing it, but please do tell me what fallacy i've been using.
Now this is irony. Putting words in your mouth? You've been doing that to me the entire time, I've called you out on it several times now. That's known as strawman, which is an example of how your argument is fallacious.
>Not necessarily is my entire point, it's why i also pointed out it's a common technique. Hinting at event in the background and showing their consequences is done all the time and i even provided exemples.
And as I've mentioned numerous times, these examples have nothing to do with the series at hand, especially in this medium, where visuals are just as important as the dialogue, if not more so.

Me saying they were off-paneled somehow equates to me acknowledging them as build-up? What? Once again, you're putting words in my mouth to sustain your argument. That's not how it works. If they were off-paneled, that means they have NO build up.


Anyway, I'm going to bed now. I'm way too tired. You can have your precious last word in this argument. I'm sure it'll help your self-esteem.

>>140487064

>>
>>140480912

They fought some schmucks, only one of whom showed anything resembling Hatsu, and Hisoka. Castro could have wiped the floor with them and Hisoka took him down with relative ease.
>>
>>140487073
>Skill Hunter doesn't even teach you how to use that shit
Yes it does.
To be able to steal an ability the owner has to explain it to you.
>>
>>140487073
>versatility
Literally the only practical use is making yourself a decent enhancer.
>>
>>140486935
Only the original Kuroro is a play on kuro(black) and kororo(heart).
Anyways, saying it has something to do with Chronos is extremely forced for he was time and Kuroro's power doesn`t have anything to do with time. The only resemblance between them is the number of titans which was the same as of ryodan members, twelve, and twelve is a very common number in a bunch of stories of every kind or even in the zodiac, months, etc.
>>
>>140477820
Hopefully they kill each other so we can get rid of two terrible characters at once
>>
>>140487305
No. The requirement is asking "something" about the ability and to receive answer, that's it. It could be some minor thing, some detail, that's enough to meet the condtion.
>>
>>140487445
>The requirement is asking "something" about the ability and to receive answer
What else are you going to ask, if not how it works?
>>
>>140487305
Explaining a power isn't anything comprehensively approaching knowing how to properly use a power effectively or wield it effectively. Thus why fun-fun cloth, a crazy hax ability was misused to shit without proper use.

We discussed this earlier in the thread.
>>
>>140487333
And a better transmuter, manipulator, and emitter. So far he's pretty much only used it for enhancement.

>fought his grandfather and father at the same time

Except his grandfather straight up said he'd win and they had him on the deathbed the moment he put away the cloak and his poisoned knife didn't work.

Chrollo was saved by the fact they had 2 contracts and Illumi killed the gang bosses before Gramps and Papa could kill Chrollo. Gramps even straight up said that 1 on 1, he'd win alone.

But anon, it's Lucilfer, not Lucifer.
>>
>>140485435
>which contrasts and doesn't fit his York Shin personality

Not the guy you're arguing with but, are you stupid?
First, we have never seen Chrollo engaging a "serious" fight with anyone so far. The best we got were the Zoldycks and that hunter assassin guy, and even then he displayed a tendency of playing with his opponent when he used the fishes to destroy him while still alive.
Second, Chrollo's been fighting seriously from the start here, beginning a long fight with some light attacks and mind manipulation is a staple of the genre and even Hisoka comments on that.

In the case of Hisoka it could be anything, from "can you turn it invisibile with Zetsu?" or "can you attach it to as many things as you want?" or "can you change the elasticity at will?"

so long as Hisoka responds that count as having completed the requirement, nowhere is it stated that one must disclose all of their own ability's secrets for Chrollo to steal it. Makes no sense.

Chronos is often compared as an Analog to Lucifer in Greco-Christian Mythology, with one failing their absolution and the other being successfully overthrown, opposing the 'true' skyfathers ( Zeus/Yahweh), ect.

Just how strong is Hisoka? I'd like to see him actually pushed into a desperate situation, the guy just oozes confidence. We really don't even know much about Hisoka, all we know is the guy doesn't seem to fear anything.

You don't think he is stronger than some of the other characters in the series? Like Ging? You think Kurapika, or hell even Killua can maybe beat him? I know /a/ doesn't like the concept of power levels but I really have a hard time keeping track of where everyone stands in terms of strength. Who is even at the top right now in terms of strength? I figured since Gon can't use Nen anymore then he is probably fallen to the bottom of the roster.

Does it actually have to impart information? Otherwise one could ask like "That's a pretty deadly ability, don't you think?" Or "was that your power, what just happened?". The most vapid response could meet the condition.

Sure is convenient.
>>
>>140487749
Regarding chronos and his siblings the skyfather is actually Uranus. So if you're being analogous on your "greco-christian mythology" you're basically saying Lucifer cut god's balls and then proceeded to eat his own children.

>>140487932
Well it has to be some detail related to how the ability works. One can't just respond "Yeah my nen sure is awesome" and see the condition fulfilled.

No. The bookmark allows him to use 2 handed abilities or possibly 1 ability from the bookmark and one from his book on the page he chose. It's purely to allow him to use 2handed skills like he's shown or possibly a ruse cruise if he, for example, wanted to use Godspeed with the bomb skill that the guy in Greed Island used, which would make him untouchably powerful.

The point is you don't need to keep track, it doesn't matter. Fights happen to further the plot, not to rank strength, and there are always plot elements involved that prevent fights from being purely about power.
>>
>>140486885
Nen abilities amuse me to no end. If you think about it, even some of the "weaker" abilities in the series are awesome in certain application. Goreinu was the first person to score a hit on Razor in the volleyball match and would have outed him if his little minion hadn't caught the ball. Black and White Gorilla are amazing offensive and defensive nen abilities, especially if he were to pair up with a good complimenting nen user to take advantage of the unique properties of his ability.

Meleoren and Knuckle had a brilliant plan in Chimera Ant, it just crumbled to the fact that Yupi had such tremendous aura that waiting him out became improbable due to circumstance.
>>
>>140488023
He can choose.
He can either use one ability while remaining 2Handed (like he's doing now)
or he can use two abilities, one from the bookmarked page and one from the page currently open.

So kuroro ability so far is to,

Steal a nen ability
>need to hear the explanation and see demonstration of the nen ability from the owner
>need to put the owner hand on the book to perform the steal
He could coerce his way through that steps.

Use a stolen ability
>Need to hold and open the book with his right hand
a little handicap

Use bookmark to use the stolen ability without holding the book.
>there is mention of "annoying requirement" that haven't been elaborate on
removing the handicap at unmentioned cost, allows the use of two handed technique

Use the book and the bookmark together to create combined/synthetic stolen abilities.
>the possibility is mentioned by kuroro but not yet being elaborate or shown.
this is interesting, but we haven't seen much of kuroro stolen tech (sofar, prediction, funfuncloth, the ability to move nobunaga, indoorfish, remotecontrol, sunmoonbomb). The combined technique still need elaboration on how they work, did the combination fulfill each other requirement for easier use or other possibility.
---

this fight could goes more than 3 chapter if togashi going to elaborate ability details and mindgames. hopefully, we get another hiatus before we go back the fuckin ship.
>>
I think Hisoka's gonna die if either of them do.

He's cool and I like him, but there's not much more of his character to explore. He's a guy who likes fighting strong opponents, gets off on it, and will go to any length face them. That's... that's pretty much it. That's Hisoka. Not knocking him, but he's not very deep. When he's not fighting, he's waiting around to fight someone. That's all he does.

On the other hand, we know little to nothing about Chrollo or what makes him tick. From the little we've seen of him, he seems like a complicated villain with a ton of potential. And the dude's been shown fighting like once, ever. It's way too early to bump him off.
>>
>>140487836
The introduction to the Dark Continent is written such that these sort of power levels mean jack shit when you are in a fight for survival against overwhelming forces of nature. Can't wait. After about the next 4 hiatuses, anyway.
>>
>>140478371
the chapter itslf was great, my problem is simply with it's placement. It doesn't fit in with anything from any of the chapters since greed Island. there was no explanation of the context of how they found chrollo, how they got him to agree to the fight etc... Knowing Togashi, hopefully he didn't just mindlessly draw this as some sort of hiatus apology and it will actually tie into the dark continent arc. Hopefully something will happen to interrupt the fight, because neither chrollo or hisoka have enough character development to justify either of their deaths yet. once again going back to it's placement, at the very least, much more needed to have been done with chrollo as a character before this fight, but maybe we'll get a flashback of some sort about all this

Not completely true. He's also used Emperor Time for Emission, otherwise his conjured chain wouldn't have the required power when extended. It's also a plot point because this way he tricked Uvo into thinking all his chains were real, and not conjured.

>>
>>140478718
their role in CA was important to show that Killua's brother(i think?) joined them, and some more exposure of their powers is nice so that togashi doesn't have to waste half a chapter explaining them when it's actually time for them to fight against important characters. also creates hype, otherwise you could say chrollo vs the zoldyks was also useless
>>
>>140488378
He was able to block Uvo's fullpowered strike, but it shattered one of his arms in the process. The biggest benefit to Emperor Time is using Enhancement to increase his mobility, which makes his attacks with his chains that much deadlier.

I'm on the fence with this chapter. On one hand I'm glad we didn't get the ridiculous amount of unnecessary dialogue we got last chapter, but on the otherhand, this shit came out of nowhere no build up whatsoever. Still hype for this battle nonetheless.

This is also the first I'm seeing Hisoka in manga form, he looks like a shitty JOJo character, absolutely disgusting! Also neither Hisoka nor chrollo will die in this battle, not because it's a battle to the death means it's going to actually happen, the battle will be interrupted or something.

If Togashi really kill off any of these two characters in this petty fight, then it simple means I overestimated him as a writer. This would be straight up bad writing if that's the case.

How was it unnecessary or in ridiculous amounts? Unless you've only read the Mangastream version.

Goddamn it, I completely forgot about this. And if I remember right, as long as Kuroro has the information of the subject, he can still make the predictions even if they aren't close at all, as Neon did a bunch of them while traveling on a car.

If Hisoka dies, that would solidify that Togashi is finally admitting Dark Continent will be his last arc, right?

No it wouldn't, killing main characters with unfinished business in a fight with barely any build up would be awful writing. Prolonging the tension between them, retroactively building up to their fight, and a smooth segue into the main storyline for them would be ideal writing for this situation.

The fact that Chrollo called it a death match is a neon sign indicating nobody will die, it'd be too obvious to have it end that way.

Because it's a world where regenerative factors don't exist and healing is extremely rare and scarce, no matter how strong your "magic" is, you're still with a living body that can't be repaired if someone gets a hit on you.

It isn't like Naruto where everyone and their aunts can regenerate wounds, take impossible blows and explosions and even resurrect the dead.

He's not super important to the plot, no, but wouldn't killing him off solidify us being in the end game? He and Lucifer are one of the longest running side plots in the series.

People in real life get killed before their storylines end, anon. Thats the harsh reality.

Alluka says hi

>>140489551
>a total letdown.

This is how every single arc ends.

Hunter Exam: Gon gets knocked out in the first round and is unconscious throughout the entire tournament
Zoldyck: Zoldyck just agrees to let Killua go without any real protest
Heaven's Arena: Hisoka wins, Gon just kinda decides to give up on the tower.
Yorkshin: Only a couple of the spiders die and the surviving ones decide not to get revenge, the Hisoka/Chrollo fight never happens
Greed Island: They get teleported to Kite instead of Ging out of absolutely nowhere.
Chimera ant: Mereum comes out of the Netero fight stronger than he ever was before dying of cancer
Election: Pariston wins then gives up, Alluka cures Gon with no consequences whatsoever.

Every single arc has somehow ended in an anticlimax. It's Togashi's favourite trope.

But this is not the ending of the arc. It's just starting.
Hisoka or Chrollo dying would be similar to Kite's and Gotoh's deaths.

If Chrollo lives, why did the Spiders bother choosing an interim leader in CA if it's never going to be relevant?
If Chrollo dies, what the hell was Pakunoda's death for?

Its more like a Cocktease. You always get something amazing even though it wasn't what you wanted, and what you got was what you didnt even know you wanted.

Calling it now: The fights along the way to the Dark Continent are really exciting, but when they arrive there the continent itself is a desolate, uninhabited wasteland because all the super dangerous stuff there killed each other off.
>>
>>140489973
So...
Chrollos going to die and come back in a little Shota body?
>>
Can't wait for the next chapter. I've been waiting for this fight for a long time.

Doubt anyone will die though.
>>
>>140489774
It seems like you don't if you think Togashi kills people in fights rather than ends them in an anti climax to keep them relevant for another day. Hisoka and Chrollo have both had that treatment in the past.

>Hisoka starts lusting after shota/loli Chrollo
I'm rooting for Quwrof, but that would be interesting to read.

HAHAHAH yea, when you put it that way I cant argue

Well I guess this chapter debunks my theory that hisoka killed chrollo before the chairman election arc:/
Yeah this fight is kind of out if nowhere but I've been wanting this since the end of yorknew so I don't even care
>>
This chapter literally fell out of fucking nowhere, japanese HxHfags must've foamed at the mouth when they saw it in a bookstore and realized what it was

Do people actually believe this?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. There's no way one of them is dying right now, they're both too important to the story.

It's literally the opposite you dumbass.

Not necesarily Sun and Moon, could be another ability or it could be man made bombs surgically implanted like Netero's miniature rose.

There is literally no feasible way to explain hisoka winning yet I am scared Chrollo bros

Hisoka has the power of fanservice

fixed

The only person who will defeat Hisoka will be Gon, how else can you build him as an atagonist?

The same may apply for Kuripika vs Chrollo. So this fight may be interrupted by the princes or something.

He's just better? All Chrollo has is hax. Hisoka's ability isn't impressive at all, but he is one of the most feared Nen users in universe.

I'm more scared for Hisoka.
We're seeing the fight from his point of view and that isn't a good sign.
