Me last chapter: Vergei kind of sucks, assholish 'no i dont believe in magic' types are annoying, even if they're well-justified in their paranoia. Me this chapter: Vergei owns and I need more of him describing Bisky's powerful body and being tsundere about nen.

Ben (and the Second Prince) basically have two sets of abilities: Their own and those provided by their Nen Beast, We only know about the former in both cases.

I think everyone has laughed with Vergei enough. Now it's time to analyze the new abilities! -Tyson. Clearly affected by her beliefs, interests and personality. It doesn't seem useful at all in this situation, as it only affects (negatively or positively) to the ones already in her religious sect. At least it's taking the aura of ~5-6 guys so it should have a decent power for now. -Cammy. Typical manipulation, again it goes well with her stated personality. Power depends of what the conditions are. In any case useful for her situation, if she can control a Benjamin soldier to free her. -Tubeppa. This is one of the weirdest abilities. The fact it needs a companion to be used (like a few others abilities we have seen, for example Golem or Killua's escort grandma who could transform in vehicles) hints it could be a powerful ability, but needing a partner, and one who can use nen to be able to see he guardian beast to use it, it's a big disadvantage for her. As she can't see it, she can't even give instructions to that potential partner. Even worse if the user needs to be both a nen user and a scientist. The possible effects aren't clear, if includes drugs and chemicals with magical effects (without equivalent to the real world, imagine a drug that makes you invisible) it could be very good. - Luzurus. A decent ability, though we still don't know how good and subtle is the 'trap', if you can see it coming (for example if it materializes something you know it's impossible in the current situation and place) it won't be good at all because people will suspect, so only useful against schmucks. -Halkenburg. A good one, but tricky. Reinforcement ability which is nice because we have few reinforcement users, but with the twist of needing extra people and then needing all of them to be 'in sync'. I predict it won't be enough, as Benjamin or any other opponent will counter it by dividing their group with some distraction, bam, problem solved. Hell, they just divided their group in two. I wonder if Benjamin or Tse nen beasts will also be reinforcement, they looked strong for direct combat. -Fuu. Now her power doesn't work. It could be it needs some condition like looking at photo or image of the target (like she was doing before). Or Togashi could be devious and do it both Fuu and Kachin abilities to be co-joint type, as their are fraternal twins. I'm imagining two different abilities, each powerful, but each needs collaboration of the other twin.

Yes, I was thinking something along those lines with my second theory, that it could be a co-joint ability. Although it doesn't seem that good to need two people with coordination to use it, maybe it has more utilities than we have seen for now.

I'm starting to be able to remember who guard is each one by just looking at their faces, something that seemed impossible at the start of the arc, so Togashi is doing a good job at making them unique, given their small individual roles.

That was amazing. Also, you know, while he was a dick about it, Vergei's general attitude and beliefs made sense; if you hadn't seen Nen before, you'd probably never believe something like that was possible. If you're a guard in a giant killing game and someone starts talking about monsters and magic and stuff, and you're not in a fantasy world where that sort of thing is common, you'd think they were nuts. Given what he knew, his beliefs made sense, even if he was a huge dick about it. And, to his credit, the moment he saw things that proved him wrong, he accepted it and changed his plans instead of trying to deny it or standing by his old orders despite the new information. That puts him ahead of most characters with his narrative role. Also, yeah, as people have said, Tubeppa's beast's ability seems... Almost unusable in these circumstances, really. Unless they already know about Nen and have comrades who can figure out the beast's ability despite the Prince having no idea how it works, or it has some trick allowing it to show or explain how it works, it doesn't seem like it can do anything here. I have a feeling that that's not going to be the case and it'll do something at least, but it feels more like an ability someone would intentionally develop as a Nen user, rather than a spontaneously-generated guardian meant to protect its host. Though it's also based on the Prince's personality and beliefs, in which case, it requiring a partner is an interesting insight into Tubeppa.

Tsubeppa did immediately seek out an alliance with another prince. Her men beast fits with that mentality of working together.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:the other nen beasts mostly do their thing automatically. tubeppa's requires that she controls it to do anything useful. Which is a problem given that the beasts can't be seen by any of the Princes. I mean, I assume this one can operate as autonomously as the others, but still, it needs an allied Nen user who knows how it works in order to do its thing, which is a problem given that no one knows how it works because it was generated in a Nen ritual rather than made by a person. Mango Polo posted:Tsubeppa did immediately seek out an alliance with another prince. Her men beast fits with that mentality of working together. Yeah, as well as Tubeppa being a scientist, which is generally a cooperative thing. It's still an odd trait to have as a guardian and such, but working with others being necessary being a part of the ability of a Nen beast formed from Tubeppa's personality and ideals could say a lot about Tubeppa.

IIRC Momoze's beast was unable to protect her because it used up all the energy it had absorbed "Are you free?"-ing people, and hadn't regenerated enough by the time she got killed. The tunnel just being Fuu's would also reflect the sisters' current dynamic really well.

The problem with Tubepa and Luzarus is that they took the short stick and Togashi has dedicated to them the least amount of time to them, which may indicate they won't play a big role in the arc... because they will die soon.

Might have missed something real obvious but does fuu just think it's actually her ability but it's actually kachin's? Like people have said this stuff is way hard to follow so I may have just forgotten kachin already showing her ability or something.

But she was looking at pictures of Fuu with tears at the same time. Like it's really clear the twins are really close, but Kacho's fear of the situation is causing her to act out and be hostile to everyone around her.

Fully expecting Luzurus, Tyson or Tubeppa to bite it before the next banquet. Tubeppa has a very restrictive ability, the worst possible ally, and her guards haven't really stood out. In a meta level, she's had the least screentime of the remaining princes. She might be planning something though. Luzurus has also had very little screentime, and his resources are more limited. He doesn't seem ambitious or smart. The only things he's got going for him are Bassho and the possibility that the other princes don't see him as a threat either. Tyson has one of the more experienced hunters on her team, but neither him or the other hunter seem that invested in protecting her. The rest are under her spell and will probably go above and beyond to protect her. She could stay for the long run if her men learn nen and it gets enhanced by her beast. Sale Sale's gonna die or get arrested at the banquet after doing something stupid. Bet I end up being wrong on all counts
