Yeah basically what other people have said, based on nothing coming out of left field suddenly like some kind of heat-of-the-moment murder-suicide attack by Benjamin I think it'll come down to somebody who's just enough of a Nen monster to win on strength alone (Benjamin, Camilla and probably Tse now he has his crazy technique) or somebody leveraging their soft skills and beast to accumulate power and support and eventually overtake or outlast the others, like Zhang. We'll probably spend some time with Tubeppa soon because they feel like one of the big names rather than a comic-relief option like Tyson and Sale-Sale (RIP), especially now that Rihan is assigned to her and Predator is basically a meta-excuse for someone to exposit about the beasts.  I like Halkenburg as the least-homicidal and most progressive but I feel like eventually enough knowledge is going to percolate through the ship that he'll get out-thought and his beast won't help him. He's blunt and direct and that seems pretty bad in this specific environment. I want Fugetsu, Theta and Biscuit's #1 Fan to live because at this point they've earned it (lol this means nothing in HxH).

I want Marayam to win because of how funny it'd be for "just hide in your room lol" to be the winning strategy.

(New chapter spoilers)lol at Hisoka’s disguise just being him with his hair down and no makeup. He doesn’t really care that much if they find him, does he? I’m pretty sure only way this ends is the ritual nen being dispelled by a prince successfully dropping out somehow, the ritual completing as usual with every prince but the winner ending up dead, or every single prince ending up dead. The former seems most likely to me, since I feel like they wouldn’t kill off Woble.

What if you die and get revived later?We already have Camilla, and are seeing a lot more post-death nen, that could be a loophole. Seeing Hisoka just knocking out someone with a single punch is so refreshing after seeing so much plotting/people with utility focused nen

The Kakin coffin room also has fourteen coffins hooked up the central device, not 13, so it's possible there is also some weird poo poo going on that we're totally in the dark about.

The ritual has generally been tied to the seed urn, though technically everyone on the boat is part of the ritual. So if you get outlandish we could end up having Kurapika or Hisoka as the next king.

i expect kurapika's position to eventually move from 'trying to force a stalemate' to 'find a loophole to break the ritual completely to make escape possible'

There is/was an art exhibit for HxH that's been running in Japan over the week and an image relating to the placement of characters based on nen type came out based on Notes Togashi provided.  All in all it's what we already knew, Hatsu is a spectrum for some characters as they have their leanings but I find a few of these characters to be really interestingly placed.

I wonder if the delivery blimp was introduced as a way of getting Gon into the story? Togashi now has a way to bring outside characters into the boat (but yeah it could just be a random throwaway line too)

Yeah a lot of those took me off guard, maybe people’s nen types are covered more in the manga but was absolutely not expecting Komugi to be an Enhancer. Or Meruem to be an Emitter since I don’t think he tries doing a single energy blast and his ability seems Specialist as hell. And wait, I’m guessing it’s common knowledge for manga readers since it probably gets mentioned in an extra volume bonus, but I thought having a not-Stand like Biscuit made you a conjurer by default or someone working against their natural talents?

People's abilities can still be an amalgamation of categories. Biscuit's masseur can still be conjured but we're told that aura is transmuted into various lotions with different effects. Meruem does use Youpi's energy blast but I've seen people point out Tyson's guardian spirit does substantiate that emitters might be capable of leeching/transferring aura so maybe Meruem's ability to consume aura is a combination of emissions and enhancement. Komugi makes sense since her power was just making herself smarter at Gun-gi and that could be seen as enhancing her brain's processing capabilities.

Well, it isn't commented in the chapter, but easier said than done. First, it was clear he was a psycho, hard to make him surrender. Second, he tried to handcuff him, but his powers means it wasn't very hard to immobilize him.

Also, it's interesting to see that Milluki is a Manipulator with slight Specialist tendencies. Maybe we'll find out what his ability is in a decade or two...

Since Gon’s nen was “reset” it’s possible he wouldn’t be an Enhancer anymore if he learned Nen again isn’t it?

bees x1000 posted:Anyone know what the extra text under Gon says? Assuming it's something about his nen being disabled. It's too fuzzy to tell. But it's the same kanji as the ones under Kite following an arrow so it looks like Kite and Gon are in the same situation as the kanji before the arrow is their original category. There is a translation on reddit for the larger bodies of text on the bottom of the page though.

MonsterEnvy posted:https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/hunter-x-hunter-chapter-392/chapter/25740?action=read Big reveal aside I'm more interested in Misha Hao's ability because of how utterly fascinating it is. Zombie Girl would be the 2nd post-mortem nen ability that can recur even though the creator is dead, the first being the Gu ritual itself. But while we're not entirely sure, the Gu ritual might need energy put into it to replenish itself as evident by the coffins and sacrificial nature of the ritual. But Zombie Girl just shows up continually so long as the condition for disposal has been met and it is apparently reliable enough that Hinrigh knew he could count on it. The gunshot wound to the head just tells us how Misha's life ended, but not the exact circumstances. Was it because a body wasn't properly disposed of and the heat fell back on her? The second name to her ability is also a love song of the same name which I interpret as being a tie in to how the puppet is shown embracing the body and works to take it to a peaceful place for disposal, so that the family might continue to be inconvenienced. It's nice that Togashi is recycling some ideas and concepts from previous arcs with new spins on them. Lynch is a discount Pakunoda, her power is less wieldy and paired with Lynch's personality you get situations like this chapter where she gets punished for being so forward with punching. Luini's power is similar to Knov's but being stuck in the real world with a way to remove his teleportation temporarily puts him in much more danger of being smoked out. And Zombie Girl is a re-introduction to Pitou's own corpse manipulation complete with the power to make the body speak.

I guess that works, really I guess it’s just the visuals the anime uses for her nen ability manifesting that make it seem more special than “memorize piece placement perfectly”, plus I always figured when people learn nen abilities without getting punched in the dick with nen like the chimera ants with nen or with training they were just Specialists like Neon and I think Zeppili.

Komugis ability works perfectly fine with being an enhancer given it's whole thing is about reinforcing or empowering objects. She's a natural genius that manifested a hatsu in a way that works for her situation. Mereum being an emitter is one of the weirder ones tbh but also he's a freak of nature.

Looking back, it's clear Togashi had plans for nen after deaths since yea... decades ago. Remember when the York Shin arc finished, and the Troupe said they wouldn't got against Kurapica, just because the mere possibility of nen after death? Well, finally he is exploring that type of nen now. And speaking of York Shin, it's funny how the Kakin mafia families here want to act against the Troupe, with the antecedents we have, where the fight against the Spiders indirectly produced the deaths of so many dons.
