Togashi said he has about three more arcs planned out in his head, so it's far from over. This ending feels complete until you realize there are still a ton of subplots that never were resolved. Kurapika and the spiders, Chimera Ant Gyro, the Chimera Ants that Pariston apparently has, and more. I suppose it would take a few arcs to wrap those up.

The tournament in Heaven's tower always felt like Togashi rubbing his nose at other shounens. It was never going to happens as their was no reason for the characters to ever enter a random tournament.

Wasn't there a guy who showed up in the announcers booth towards the end of the Heavens Tower arc that was never explained?

Hello thread. I am still catching up with the show (along with the thread). I just started the last arc but I noticed no one else pointed out that the rat bastard dude was voiced by Hisoka's original VA  Right, back to page 57 I go. See you in a bit Edit: that was fun. Now the real question is do I read on or wait 10 years again...

According to A Thing I Remember Reading Somewhere he's still going to be making chapters but not weekly, so progress would be slower but more regular. This may have been one or two months ago however.

One thing at the end that I didn't quite 100% understand was the dead butler. Was he one of the twin shape-changing dudes and his brother basically came and took over?

Nah, Gotoh was just a butler. The idea is the Zoldycks hired a shapechanger to keep his death a secret from Killua and Gon.

Huh, I figured Killua had asked him since he was friends with them, but I wasn't sure exactly what the purpose of keeping up that pretense would be. Your version probably makes more sense.

I haven't read past where the show ended, but I imagine that's what will happen: Killua or Gon will notice the deception and it'll be the basis for another conflict between Killua and his family (and/or between Gon and Hisoka.)

I always interpreted it as Killua asking the shapechanger and Canary to keep Gotoh's death a secret in order to have a spy inside the Zoldyick compound. You know, since he can't go back without his brother going all mind control-ly on him. I can't think of a good reason to keep Gotoh's death from Killua and Gon.

To be correct it's to keep it a secret from Killua and Alluka. Killua really liked Gotoh and would likely be very pissed at Hisoka for killing him and Illumi causing his death. In the manga they show a picture of Killua and Alluka when Canary is doing the shush thing.

I guess the prevailing theories are valid, but I'm still not convinced. Gon was immensely pissed about Kaito's death, but Kaito was a childhood savior and role model, not to mention Gon was convinced at the time that he caused his death. Killua certainly did like Gotoh, but not to the degree he liked Canary; plus, during the arc you saw how he treated butlers as butlers, especially after the flashback where Canary was given orders not to get too close to Killua, so Killua stopped treating her, and by extension all the butlers, as anything but friendly servants. And the bubble with Killua and Alluka when Canary did the shush thing can be interpreted either way; Canary could be hiding Gotoh's death from them, or Canary was asked by them to hide his death from the family. In any case, CHiRAL posted:I see it as the other butlers babying them, no point in reading too much into it. is absolutely right; until it comes up again, there's no point reading too much into it, especially since Togashi might die of natural causes before it ever comes up again...

I've been going through this as an anime-only watcher all the way through, almost since the first episode aired. As much as I hate that the show is over, I totally understand (and have experienced) the pitfalls of shows trying to make their own content. I'm happy with how this ended. ...Except that it leaves kurapika looking like some sort of recluse that just wants to live with his eyeball friends.

How many eyeballs did he have, there? Is it possible he's collected them all? He still has his vendetta against the spiders, but it'd be cool if he could at least lay his people to rest.

I have always wondered this, didn't the spiders copy and replace all the items at the auctions? So the first set he has is actually a fake nen creation?

He didn't even get that set, it was Neon's. That's a major reason he was so gloomy when he got his hands on it, I imagine; not only was he holding the remains of one of his family (or so he thought), but he wasn't even able to keep it out of the hands of the kind of people who made their murder profitable in the first place. Though in the long run he was kind of lucky that was a fake, since otherwise in order to complete his personal mission he'd have to go against his boss in the underworld, which would have probably hampered his ability to do what he got into all that for in the first place.

I assume his plan was to steal it from Neon in the first place. She was just a stepping stone for him anyway, and since Chrollo stole her power her family probably lost a lot of influence anyway. Anyway, the next few chapters of the manga imply that he doesn't work for Neon anymore (or the mafia at all), and he got every set of eyes except for those owned by a specific person.

But immediately jumping ship from your employer wouldn't establish you as trustworthy. Best case scenario he'd have to endure knowing that the eyes were right there as he continued to work for her, which would suck a lot. Things kind of cascaded in a really horrible way that ended up working out for Kurapika in the long run, though. Edit: And actually I just remembered that the fakes eyes were assumed to have been stolen when Squala got killed (they probably actually disappeared), so.

(Spoiler for manga)He's specifically labeled as a Nostrade family boss now, so he's still working for the same mafia. He's just risen in the ranks a whole lot.
