By Netero's standards Chrollo is one of the people living up to what it means to be a hunter.

netero probably would have briefly considered joining the spiders just so he'd have something to do.

netero was never that malicious. he would gladly kill helpless people if it was somehow interesting, but not for profit.

That'd be amazing, they'd never keep up with him though

Chrollo says he enjoys hunting skills because of what they unintentionally reveal about the user. For example the guy who didn't see dead bodies as objects unless the head was removed. Netero would totally dig that.

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


The Spiders seem to have enough individual autonomy that if all a person wanted was to fight strong people, they'd probably not have an issue with it as long as the person defended the rest when necessary.

I'm imagining Uvo and Netero drinking cans and having a contest to see who can throw their empties into the bin from further away.

Nobunaga is dying without ever revealing his insanely sick hatsu. Interestingly on my reread I noticed Hisoka's prosthetic Bungee Gum leg actually squishes a lot when he walks.

I'll hand it to the guy, he pitched a premise interesting enough that I still get pumped to see more of it even when deep down I know I'll never see the ending.

Kind of want to reread the beginning of this arc now, which of the comic reader services has the official translation? The scanlations were... muddled.

The VizMedia/Shonen Jump App for sure, maybe Comixology?

EDIT: Assuming you live in America or a country served by the apps, of course. If not, scans may be the only option.

Knuckle is the type of dork that thinks a partly-stuttered pun is a RIGHTEOUS name for a nen-based ability.

Hate-Senpai posted:

It probably also didn't help that people with nen stealing powers didn't really have that great a track record till Hisoka vs Chrollo.

Chrollo couldn't steal mid-fight when up against someone as good as Silva and Zeno, plus when he did bring out Owl's cloth thing his combat ability was further hampered because both of his hands were occupied (one with the book, the other with the cloth). It made hand-to-hand combat virtually impossible. Chrollo had to modify his own ability to make it something that could work in an actual fight. Prior to that, he killed some random mercenary assassin but a nameless dude doesn't really count.

Leol also died, but to be fair, he just had the worst luck in picking an opponent. Morrel was a) a Sea Hunter, meaning an ability that creates a mass of water isn't going to hinder him much, and b) friends with the original owner of the ability, meaning he had a grasp of how it worked.

Chrollo's power really isn't about fighting, it is about stealing, fighting is not what the Phantom Troupe is all about. His power has great utility. For example, he was able to steal the prediction power from the Mob bosses daughter, something very valuable.

Hisoka, learning from his defeat, invents a new technique to allow him to make it in the "new world." By using his gum and rubber to force the blood to pump quickly through his body, he gains incredible speed and physical power.

Would Hisoka get a murderboner over what Kurapika has become, or just view him as a "waste of talent" because Kurapika is only at his strongest against Spiders?
