Goddamn this Succession war barely started and it's already tense as gently caress, can Kurapika ever catch a break

If Kurapika catches the immortality disease he's gonna be OP as hell.

Hitlersaurus Christ posted:If Kurapika catches the immortality disease he's gonna be OP as hell. I think he'd lose out on the benefits that depend on that if that happened. Like if Gon stopped doing his "Show me Rock" thing; if your limitation stops applying, it's not a limitation. Edit: Read the chapter now, the lifespan twist makes a lot more sense actually. Spoilers phrased it poorly: The big deal is due to how fast it racks up, he can't do things like, say, maintain his Steal Chain for the days or week+ that would be ideal here, making it not just an edgy thing but a hard limiter on Steal Chain and other things, and also a reason to not use Steal Chain superfluously in case it gets an ability he can't get rid of. In that context, I like it a lot better. Or, in other words: tbp posted:kurapikas limitation is actually really good imo because togashi is not a hack so its not going to be handwaved until the very end of the story or never, like in most shonens.

He had revealed before that the dolphin was problematic saying he couldn't dispel ET until he used the stolen ability and that in conjunction with him passing out repeatedly made it an interesting twist. Getting the hard facts of how burdensome it is in this episode was really great though and made me not even care about him showing off another new ability. I like the idea of seeing him age rapidly over the course of this arc.

Turns out ET and the increased longevity of nen users just kind of balance out and Kurapika dies at like 90 years old.

Or chrollo becomes friend with tserriednichts and becomes a schmoozing untouchable for 20+ chapters, sending an onlooking kurapika into early retirement

So I decided to re-read HxH post election arc and GOD drat this manga is so good when you are not waiting one chapter per week. It's almost as if everyone is so powerful that punches and fights don't matter at all compared to actual strategy, set ups, betrayal and other stuff. This is the most hyped I have been for a series, ever. God loving Hiatus is gonna hit me like a truck

I want another Hisoka+Kurapika team up really bad, but I'm not sure how feasible that would be. I'm pretty sure Hisoka wants to kill the spiders himself and Yorknew ended with Kurapika focusing on getting back the scarlet eyes rather than hunting down the troupe. Then again, I'm sure there are situations where teaming up could be beneficial for them in this arc.

Assuming Hisoka is on the boat (probably likely), the next person he should team up with is Leorio just so that Hisoka gets to spend some quality time with each of the main four characters.

Honestly one of the coolest parts is when Ging solves all the disputes that arise from him trying to become No. 2 with real talk.

I am so confused, how is Kurapika using his chains? I thought he could only use them on Phantom Troupe or he dies? Also, I miss Gon

Chapter itself was loving great, though I normally don't like the "shorten lifespan" drawbacks because they're always so vague I have good hopes it'll be handled better here because it's HxH, and I guess it at least defines how much life he loses pretty well.dazoner posted:I am so confused, how is Kurapika using his chains?

The spiders (aside from maybe Chrollo and/or Kalluto) are going down, aren't they? Like, I know that they're villains, but some of them are quite the charming bunch of thieves/mass murderers.

Dias posted:That restriction on Kurapika's Emperor Time is gonna lead to him murder-suiciding Chrollo, huh? That would be quite surprising. Hunter X Hunter can get very dark but ultimately it's a series about hope and doing the right thing and it's much more likely that his friends break him out of his hatred and desire for vengeance.

Between the now sure-to-die-young Kurapika and the crazy-rubber-gum-zombie Hisoka after them I would be surprised if they make it out of this arc alive. ...Which actually gives them pretty good odds since Togashi loves flipping predictable outcomes on their heads.

The cliffhanger at the end of this chapter is making realize that all the nobility politicking we've been exposed to thus far is just the tip of the iceberg, and that revelation is giving me headache. God, I can't wait for some of these princes to die off just to make things less complicated.
