I like how the main evil guy hates Hunters and thinks they're all evil. That's like killing mycologists because you think all scientists are evil.

with how these guardian beast hatsus have two parts im all but sure theta is deada, and melody seems like she's played her last song too by the looks of it. Also I'm betting money that Tse's actual personal hatsu beast resurrected him somehow because he's evil jesus

"What are you going to do?" "Uh I figured you would think of something while you rest." Of course the basis for the chapter is contrived (Melody's start of music has to be just in the same freaking second as Theta firing! /rolleyes) but it's ok as it serves to connect Tse with Melody, and from there Melody with Kurapica).

That Theta wasn't killed outright gives me hope for her. Hopefully she gets out of this with just a rad scar.

A second resurrection Hatsu seems a bit much, so I'm gonna bet on this being part of the guardian beast's lie-related ability. Maybe it forces Theta to be "true to her word" somehow, so even though she meant to kill Tse in her mind and thought she had killed him, she actually had been unconsciously directed to miss the shot. Or something like that.

Could also be that it vamps some of the targets aura too after marking them, and it would have worked if Theta herself was in Zetsu.

Or something like that. There wasn't any blood or brains in the floor, nor Tse was dirtied. It was some kind of illusion, or it could be the nen beast can 'swap' with the owner, like Goreinu could do with his gorillas. In fact in her dream she saw Tse's face with the hole in the forehead but it was really the beast (see the neck). My theory is that the condition to be able to do it is for the aggressor to be marked before (remember she was hit before in the face).

Togashi really is a master. In almost any other manga I would hate Tsen, the inexplicable genius sociopath is not exactly fresh, but in this I just find him terrifying. Half of it is obviously the super creepy nen beast of course, but his mannerisms add to it a lot.

I hated when Tsen turned out to be a genius at first cause I thought of him as the final boss of this arc for Kurapika, then turned around to the idea when I realized that Kurapika isn't the main focus of this arc, the succession war is, and all the princes probably have the potential to be nen geniuses because of the way the succession war presumably works.

The difference between Tsen and other dogshit "oh yeah i'm a super-master at everything" characters is that even without being a nen genius Tsed would still be a terrifyingly competent and dangerous villain even without it and nen just means he's going to get even worse. Melody will be fine.

Its simple imo, Tsen went into zetsu, so Melody's aura song didnt affect him. Saved by a coincidence.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Its simple imo, Tsen went into zetsu, so Melody's aura song didnt affect him. Since just listening is a trigger for Melody's ability, and he was aware of the gunshot, it seems unlikely that he also wasn't pulled into a trance with everyone else. I'm sticking with my hallucination theory on the scar. The thing about Zetsu is that all it does is close your aura nodes so it doesn't leak out. While it stops Guardian Spirits manifesting because they feed off of aura leaked from the body, I don't think Zetsu will stop any abilities already active outside the users body unless they have similar requirements, especially if the ability incorporates Emissions in some way. Of which, the scar has some part to play in imprinting this lie-detector onto the target. I'm thinking a kind of transmuted virus infecting the target affecting their brain So for this chapter I think Theta shot either next too, or in any direction but where Tse was standing the moment she committed to betraying him. He just stood there because he thought the gunshot was part of the training like everything else she did.

I do not think Zetsu will protect you from nen abilities. If anything you are probably more apt to be affected by them.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Its simple imo, Tsen went into zetsu, so Melody's aura song didnt affect him. I agree it's simple. I don't totally agree with the rest  Togashi does the setup in the first pages, we both read (from Theta's words) and see (Tse's actions) how a beginner's zetsu can be interrupted by sudden, unexpected sounds. This wasn't written by pure random chance, it's to prepare what comes next. I think Melody's music is special enough to break his focus even if he was in serious mode, so just before the bullet flies his zetsu broke involuntary and from there, the beast took care of it, blocking it just before it hits the Prince, like we saw two chapters ago they can do (Halk & Nasubi). It isn't very clear because this being a manga and not an anime, we don't see exactly when the music starts. Meanwhile, Theta is trapped as most people by Melody's music, frozen by 3 minutes, in her mind getting Tse. Tse wasn't frozen, I think the princes were protected from the effect by their nen beasts. He had time to slowly put himself behind Theta. Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Oct 19, 2018 |

I have a solution and I'm kicking myself for not realizing it sooner Theta's bandage disappears the moment she pulls her gun. That probably signifies when the illusions starts as it's when she goes to betray Tse. We know that Captain Balsamic Vinegar says that manipulators usually issue verbal commands, and Free-Bear started his control with a question. Tse asked Theta if he could trust her and then she got marked right after she said yes but was lying. I think answering the question from Tse is what started this, although the creature could just mark anyone who lies to Tse as their first "strike". Once you have your first strike if you do anything physical that might harm Tse you enter into a hallucination but your attempt will fail because you'll miss. Third strike probably carries the same risk, either lying or trying to betray him will earn the last one and then it's body horror time.

Brought To You By posted:I have a solution and I'm kicking myself for not realizing it sooner Oh, that was my first theory, or at least a variation. I guess it makes illusions, not revert anything. It makes sense because the beast needs some kind of restriction, it doesn't make sense it can affect everyone, there has to be some limit. The restriction is, it only affects victims marked before, and for that they have to lie or betray him. I thought the first pages of the chapter were important, that's the 'reconciliation' I was trying to do now  edit: I guess his zetsu breaking so the beast appears again was still needed to be protected from the music effects, at least not being frozen for the entire 3 minutes. That's how he 'teleported'. /theory salvaged Turin Turambar fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Oct 19, 2018 |

Something interesting is how the nen beasts power are related to how each Prince want to reign. Or at least those who actively want to be king, which would explain why the youngest princes beasts are different. -Benjamin gains personal power through the 'undying loyalty' of his elite soldiers. His themes are 'the strongest warrior should be king', and 'loyal, strong army'. -Camilla's beast is a manipulator type who makes people slave to her wishes. As she said one, people 'should just die' if she wishes so. -Halkenburg gains a super boost through unified will and cooperation with his followers, to who he shares ideals and a more equal relationship. He leads, but he is also like one more of the group. -Zhang Lei isn't still very clear, but he seems to me someone more subtle, more typical politician, who prefers to gain power through bribery and exchange of favors. For that, a beast which gives coins with special powers is ideal. -Tserriedenich is the type to rule through fear. A beast that detects lies and traitors, and who punishes with things worse than death is ideal for that.
