Speed scan translation has kurapika saying "its impossible" to learn nen in a short period of time while MS has kurapika saying "its possible".... Oh well, I guess it makes sense either way depending on how you define a "short period" of time. It just leaves me wondering what the actual Japanese dialog is.

Could Hisoka beat any of the Royal guard 1v1?

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Could Hisoka beat any of the Royal guard 1v1? No way. Youpi and Pitou are too durable, and Pouf is better than Hisoka in his own specialty of trickery. Unless you mean Pouf or Youpi after Meruem eats most of their bodies. Hisoka can probably take one of them then.

I don't think pouf is better at mindgames than hisoka. He'd probably be the closest to a fair battle. I think Hisoka + palace invasion team would probably be enough to result in atleast one dead guard.

hisoka specializes in killing humans, so he doesn't have any excessively destructive techniques. once you get past the aura, humans all die the same. i think the royal guard would simply be too strong and durable for his fighting style to work. plus, pouf could split into tiny copies of himself and pitou could forcibly fix herself in place, both of which counter bungee gum rather thoroughly. as we saw with laser and chrollo's puppets, hisoka has difficulty with brute force.

Plus Pitou is outright faster then Hisoka is and could just blitz him. Along with all the durability the three guards have. Lastly one of the things that gives Bungee Gum a big advantage is it allows Hisoka to pull his opponents towards him. With someone like Pitou or Youpi that would be the worst move possible, combined with the fact that they are vastly stronger then him physically. They could use the Gum to pull him towards them. Pouf is likely physically stronger then him as well.

I generally agree with the rest of this, but I don't think anyone could ever use Bungee Gum against Hisoka. He has full control over when it contracts, so if anyone every tried to pull him in with it, he could simply increase its elasticity and nullify it.

if he can't use it to restrain someone, then it is pretty much limited to letting him spiderman around.

The second it was used against him he could detach it or increase the elasticity.

Gotoh pretty much nearly did, Hisoka had to cancel it out to prevent his arms from snapping.

Honestly the Palace Invasion Squad was really lucky that Kumugi was hit and critically injured. If that had not happened Pitou would have participated in the fights. Gon and Killua would have been killed by Pitou who would have then went and assisted Youpi. Pitou also could have potentially saved the King.

In at the episode of the palace invasion where knuckles made youpi go super nova, and this is arc has lasted 20 more episodes than I thought it would. There's some dragon ball z level of blueballing here. This whole arc me wonder if the shadow Troup squad you see taking on the chimera ants could have done a better job at the palace invasion. I guess there wouldn't be a substitute for the old man. Maybe if chrollo got involved to take on the king?

Pitou's only success was an ambush attack on one adult and 2 kids, and she only managed to take one of them out. She kinda sucks without the element of surprise. Hisoka on the other hand has the properties of rubber and gum

Wild Horses posted:i disagree regarding how lethal pitou is. She got slightly scruffed up a bit while she was entirely new to everything. A Rock from Gon and Killua's attacks would have done jack poo poo to her. Normal Officer Ants were capable of tanking a rock from Gon with severe injuries. A Squad Leader is even stronger and more durable. And the King could vaporize their heads with a casual swing. The same swing, intending to kill caused slight bleeding to Pitou. A Rock would have done jack all. While she can pounce in a stright Line, she has no need to go far distances in a close range fight. Kite was stronger then Gon and Killua. He was a single star hunter and was stated to be stronger then the pair.

Kaito was implied to be Spider-tier, in my opinion. Good enough to where the gap between him and the kids was insurmountable without years of training. Hisoka probably would have liked to fight him.

Oh well, this might make MOVIE MAJICK get those DBZ vibes: Power Level Chat. Here are my two cents: Hisoka would've probably killed some Squad Leaders no problem and would've no doubt escaped any fight against the Royal Family / the king himself. What I think most people forget is that ,previous to his death/rebirth after failing to defeat Chrollo, Hisoka often fought in other people's terms. If Hisoka got serious, he would've way more vicious. Which we just witnessed in the manga.

Begemot posted:Gon would still have his crazy power-up, Pitou would have just died faster if Komugi hadn't been injured. Don't think so. He only had the crazy power up cause he went into the depths of Despair when he brought Pitou to Kite. The reveal that Kite was dead already and Pitou could not heal him. He would have just been angry and intense, but he would not have thrown his life away there. In his rage the undistracted Pitou would probably have simply ripped his throat out. (Something that Pitou heavily considered doing while Gon was next to her. But felt the slight risk to Komugi was not worth it.)

Begemot posted:Gon would still have his crazy power-up, Pitou would have just died faster if Komugi hadn't been injured. If Komugi wasn't injured, Pitou would have never seriously talked to Gon, and Gon never would have reached the depths of hyper-rage necessary for his power up. He would have just died before having a chance to put all that together.

He could probably easily kill any of them with sneak attack stuff. In a straight fight the Troupe Fighters would be a close match that Hisoka could win. But it could go the other way too.

Which also made Pitou just casually taking the same strike a pretty  thing
