RatHat posted:Some spoilers are out and it's like Togashi is reading the thread. I looked them up and, wow. Neon's ability is gone from Chrollo's book, so she's probably dead, which is sad. Also, there's a big panel with Illumi and some tall old guy standing with the Troupe, which, huh, not who I expected as new members. Edit: More spoilers, and the above is even better: Illumi is in the Troupe by Hisoka's request, hired by him specifically so they can kill each other. Illumi gets paid on Hisoka's death. According to this translation script Illumi even calls the arrangement an "engagement ring/promise/prenuptial agreement", which is fantastic.

Fuuuuuck This was a hella good chapter. How many do we have left till there’s enough for a full volume? I wouldn’t be surprised if Illumi has another ulterior motive, but him and Hisoka certainly are crazy enough for his story to check out. One thing I’m wondering about though is why there are still some missing Spiders? Obviously Shalnark and Kortopi (6 and 9) are gone but isn’t there a number 12? Am I forgetting somebody who died?

Yeah, there's thirteen members total. The twelve-legged spider also has a head, which is Chrollo. Though, something seems off to me, so I'm counting it out from the beginning: They started at thirteen. Were down four after Yorknew (Uvo and Paku dead, Hisoka gone, and Chrollo banished), but Kalluto joined, which should have put them at ten at least. Chrollo came back, which would put them at eleven. Shalnark and Kortopi died, so back to nine if they never replaced anyone besides Hisoka. And Illumi would bring that back to ten, which matches where we are now. So, yeah, guess they never replaced anyone besides Hisoka and now Uvo (the former 11). Or the other new members are off hanging out wherever for a surprise reveal at some point.

When Hisoka kills Shalnark and Kortopi it shows a 12 legged spider with 2 legs breaking off and he says “10 more to go”. I figured he meant the “legs” since he wants to fight Chrollo again after killing the other spiders but I guess it could just be that not all of them were replaced despite the spider picture in the background.

Yeah, that's the weird thing; that strongly implies that they were back to full before he killed those two. Which would imply that Illumi joining in puts them at twelve people total. Unless Hisoka assumed they were full and didn't realize that the Troupe's been slacking on recruiting people.

My Boy Bono is back in the game!. Learning that Melody's partner, Keeni, is also a hunter explains how he felt Fuu enter the room. It was a bit bizarre that someone else reacted without seeing anything and his En field is at least as large as the bedroom which is good since that's well beyond the average for a hunter. I expect great things from this partnership before things come crashing down because now two princes are planning something for this upcoming banquet.

Hisoka has been always a bit crazy, but this is stupid. He seems intent on killing the rest of the PT to leave Chrollo without allies that could help for the next fight, but here he is adding a new (a very powerful) ally to their group! Although I have the feeling that after his resurrection, Hisoka isn't only a bit crazy, but fully deranged. The other option, is that they are playing 5D chess and it's all part of a plan, and Illumi will betray them in a key moment. It could be that what Illumi said it's technically true (so if a nen user with a lie detector checks, it will pass) but there is a hidden secret in all this. Prediction, the mafia family is going to warn of the powerful PT in the boat. But the warning will not server to impede them but it will be the opposite, the prince Luzurus will invite them to the 1st Deck, because after hearing how powerful they are, he will want them as allies in the succession war. That way the PT could be involved on current events. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Mar 9, 2018 |

Nah, he was just pissed enough to stop loving around with his prey, or at least Chrollo, to an extent. But he also still wants to fight Illumi, and knows that this hunt might actually kill him, so he's bringing his murder boyfriend in so that however it goes they get their fight too, or something. Though as people have stated, Illumi might go for the Troupe too, or at least kill some who try to interfere in his fight so he gets a proper one on one with Hisoka.

This is should be obvious but Illumi has to survive, as he has pending an arc of Killua & Alluka vs Illumi for the future. So or Hisoka dies against the PT and at least Illumi survives, or Hisoka wins and Illumi betrays them.

I just said that he was not sane, he just acted relatively reasonably in the past because his hate overrode his desire to have fun and led him to doing something practical. But he's now planning a blaze of glory or something, because him making one good decision doesn't mean he's suddenly reasonable.

Got this feeling that at least one of the Spiders, who are hyper paranoid and vigilant about Hisoka right now, is going to turn up dead next chapter, obviously by Hisoka's hand, and not a one of these jerks is going to have any loving clue how it happened. Bonus points if it's one of the stronger members.

This boat is a goddamn powder keg filled with old, leaking TNT and I cannot wait to see how it all blows up. I wonder how it will end. Very few of the arcs so far have ended in a big battle so far. I think there is a possibility that Hisoka killed Neon.

For me, this just makes me feel even more strongly that Abengane has agreed to join the Troupe and he's just mia because he's still dealing with Kurapika's Nen beast. (Or he's just said "I'm not gettin on the fuckin boat". The reason I think he's joined the Troupe is that he knows they can set him up with money and they'd do a good job of protecting his powerful ability. I don't think he's looking to wade in to danger.)

We know Abengane made contact with the Troupe and must be the one who exorcised Chrollo's Nen, so him being a Kortopi-style member, there more for the impossibly-valuable utility than anything else, makes sense. Though that leaves us with one more space; Abengane would put them at eleven members, and minus Shalnark and Kortopi, plus Illumi, the Troupe should be at twelve if they were full before. Cheston posted:Oh, poo poo, this totally fits. He knew who the owner was (or enough to identify her) and he knew the power was anathema to hunting down spiders. My favorite part of that was Bonolenov's "Just think it," in response. He wasn't a funny character before but I'm hoping him being paired with Shizuku might get some entertainment value out of the weird dancing mummy music man. Edit: Not that he wasn't cool before; I liked his power and backstory and stuff, and him squashing the bug that killed Ponzu was pretty great. Just meant he wasn't particularly funny before, but seems like he could play off Shizuku and Chrollo well. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Mar 9, 2018 |

I disagree that Abengane has a good reason to join the Spiders. To him, it'd have been just another exorcism job. Why join up with the most wanted criminals in the known world when he could just stay freelance and get more jobs? He doesn't need their protection any more now than he did in te first place. It's not like we have any reason to believe that he respects their murderous ways either. And even if the Spiders considered him too valuable an asset to let go, that doesn't mean they'd force him to join their group. Frankly it seems much more likely to me that Chrollo would steal his power and they'd leave him locked up somewhere.

chrollo called all the spiders to the ship though cause shalnark was talking about how long its been since they all got together so abengane aint no spider lol what is interesting though is did hisoka marry illumi into this death marriage before hisoka fought chrollo? does that mean that hisoka doesnt have illumi to change his appearance since hisoka and illumi havent been in contact? is hisoka really belerainte? is togashi trolling us by making us think hisoka is belerainte but belerainte is actually the silent majority user while hisoka is sitting somewhere on the ship dirty and bloody? drjuggalo fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Mar 10, 2018 |
