Tyson is a fool with no redeeming traits, talents or allies among her half-siblings. I suspect that she will be the sole survivor through no effort on her part. I maintain that the baby is totally gonna die.

On this topic, the wiki actually made that same mistake; her own page lists her as female, but on other pages Tyson's referred to as male. Like, she's listed as "brother" or "half-brother" or "son" in everyone's relationship pages, and her mother's page refers to giving the king a son and not a daughter. TriffTshngo posted:I'm thinking it'll be this guy. I'm leaning towards Harkenberg as well, if only because if it's not him it's going to be someone weird due to circumstance after Harkenberg dies and derails the plans of the lesser princes. Benjamin and Tserriednich are way too evil for me to think it'll be them (particularly Tserriednich, who is a sadist and whose victory would make for a really depressing ending of the arc regardless of other circumstances), Chourai feels like a dead man to me, and Camilla is just... There at the moment. After the major princes we have Harkenberg, a bunch of children and/or corpses-to-be, and I guess Tsubeppa, who I feel might make it but is probably going to fall if this becomes a complete bloodbath. She's definitely not going to be the sole survivor if all but one dies. EmmyOk posted:Being besties with the most evil prince is a huge red flag. I don't think he knows that Tserriednich is super-evil. Tserriednich seems like a sociopath and was capable of putting up a charming front with those girls and stuff, right up until he brutally murdered them. I'm betting he's unaware of the depths of Tserriednich's depravity; given his history he's probably a super-lonely guy beneath the rigid, callous exterior, and his evil, master manipulator half-brother is taking advantage of that. Though, Triff raises the good point that, if he isn't in on the evil, he's probably super-dead if he doesn't get warned in time. Hm.

I think that Tyson is the prince most likely to become the dark horse Just in terms of personality and interests, she seems closer than any other prince to their father, who won the last royal succession. I suspect she's going to get a particularly powerful Nen beast, since like most things Nen they develop based on their owner's personality. On the other hand, I don't think Benjamin is going to last very long. All of his power base seems to revolve around military might and mundane force, but the battle for succession is going to revolve around Nen, and I don't think he's going to adapt well; he's probably going to rely on brute force against the Hunters and Nen beasts, and that's going to fail.

Considering the GR were a super interesting ensemble working for the same goal I'm super excited to see one where they are all working for their own goals. Fully expect to be surprised by all the princes and would be more surprised if any of them were what we expected. Except Tserndich or however it's spelled.

Fully expect to be surprised by all the princes and would be more surprised if any of them were what we expected. Except Tserndich or however it's spelled. Well, Woble probably won't have any surprises beyond what her nen beast turns out to be, given her being a baby. Oito might have been lying about their desperation but I doubt it. The other kids seem like they're likely to be either bit players or cannon fodder, depending on how this turns out, too, though I guess they could have some crazy twists up ahead. As for the others, I see your point, though. Though I do think that Lazarus/L'Souris is going to prove to be an idiot who likely dies early; Tserriednich is proven to be rather intelligent and sees him as a moron, and I doubt he's wrong, so unless he just means from his perspective (which, given his genius and egomania, admittedly probably includes nearly everyone else in the world; on an earlier topic I wouldn't be surprised if he actually does like Harkenberg just because he's on the same intellectual level) he's probably right and his half-brother is a moron. I mean, he did manage to get his would-be assassins screened by the association and/or Kurapika. MonsterEnvy posted:Maybe not. We saw Benjamin's forces this chapter planning. It appears he plans to be purely defensive until they actually arrive at the Dark Contenint in two months. In that case, he's probably mostly reliant on his nen beast really; one good nen user can easily massacre his mundane forces. That said, given everything we've seen about him I wouldn't be surprised if his nen beast is utterly monstrous and proves to be hard to deal with, so that might be enough as long as he himself doesn't do anything stupid. Like, say, try to murder his brother personally, get his nen beast killed by Tserriednich's (which I bet would be even stronger), and then get horribly murdered. Or something like that. It's really hard to make predictions here; there's so much going on, and HxH is really good at throwing curve balls and whatnot. I still feel like Woble will probably live (Oito may or may not; I'd rate her chances fair but far from guaranteed), Chourai and Lazarus are dead, and Tserriednich and Benjamin won't win but may or may not die horribly depending on how things work out (the victory condition is last-one-standing but the lesser princes are already planning on bucking that with their Harkenberg plan, so we'll see). Beyond that, I have some things I'm leaning towards but it's hard to speak with confidence about most of it. For the eventual "winner" I've narrowed it down to Tsubeppa, Harkenberg, or anyone at 10 or below (the sisters and the children, though really the two sisters look like children to me too). Maybe Camilla. Everyone else I'm betting on dying or being defeated in some other manner, assuming that's possible and something (possibly the nen beasts) doesn't force the issue when it comes to deaths. If it does... I'm betting on Woble. Kurapika is not letting her die.

They look fairly young compared to the rest; the one right above them is Harkenberg, who seems like he's in his twenties at the least. Maybe late teens; he admittedly didn't look too young in that shot of him graduating early or whatever in Kurapika's explanation that one chapter, so maybe he just looks like that.

I would probbably put him at 19 to 21. Since he has visibly aged form what he looked like in Kurapika's explanation.

Yeah laying on your stomach to draw is probably fine when you're a teen drawing for fun, but if he kept that up as a professional mangaka, with the amount of work they have to do, it would really gently caress up your back. Hopefully his wife can teach him proper drawing posture

Clarste posted:Only like 2.5 princes have received any characterization yet, and it's very likely that the rest will die before they become relevant. It's definitely Togashi's style to have a couple of surprise characters who receive unexpected importance in the arc, but 2/3 of these people are going down before you'll get a chance to remember their name, so I wouldn't bother trying yet. Most of them have at least some kind of hobby or vice to distinguish them. I'm interested in seeing if their Nen beasts reflect those.

Silver2195 posted:Was Tyson's gender ever explicitly stated either way? Though Tyson is a pretty over-the-top gay stereotype if male. I'm not sure, actually. Looking back, MS has Tserriednich referring to Tyson as male in 348, but I don't now if that's a translation assumption or the original text, since at that point we hadn't actually seen Tyson. Either way, it's funny that the page with Tyson's picture labelled them as female, while every page that just had a name assumed otherwise. Tyson is very short, though; in the latest chapter, Tyson is like half of Camilla's and Saresare's heights, despite standing between the two of them; whereas perspective is what makes Benjamin and Beyond look huge there (like some people were wondering about), there's no way Tyson isn't just really, really small. (This has no relevance to the gender thing, I just found it interesting.) Tangent, rereading stuff to see if Tyson had any more information available, I forgot that Tserriednich is apparently planning an outright purge or something should he become king. I'm more and more certain that he's hosed and not winning this. Edit: Anyone who wants to review the non-Tserriednich princes, they're only in four chapters; they first appear in 348, and 351-357 is Hisoka vs Chrollo, so you only need to check 348-350 and 358 to get everything we know about the ones who aren't flesh-collecting serial killers.

Viz translation uses 'his' for Tyson in 348 as well. I imagine it's hard to translate too effectively when all of them are explicitly going to be referred to as 'prince' regardless of gender.
