Ooh, here's a fun question: Is the con man's fake body emission, or conjuration?

Pretty sure that normies can't see any emission-based nen stuff so it has to be conjuration.

I think it's been established that cloning is conjuration.

Having a new chapter of HunterXHunter every week makes me so happy. And they’re generally so dense it feels like 3-4 chapters of another manga. I hope it never ends.

Soemthing it took me until rereading the succession war now to notice: Tyson is the sixth Prince! Shes older than Luzurus. I thought she was like, 15, all this time.

I really want to know what the one Taboo in Tysonism is

Kacho and Fugetsu are like 15-16 and Halkenberg is about 19 or so.

I thought that the numbering is going by legitimacy/queen status. Big lols at Halk being 19. Poor guy. Kinda makes sense if you imagine all the stress that comes with trying to be a "good" politician in Kakin.

Halk went to University at 15 and graduated with a Masters. So he should be 19 to 20 we don't know his exact age.

I wonder if swinko swinko is still alive. Sale sale was her only child and I wonder if the queens are disposable after their kids all drop out of the war

Did sale sale have something planned or was the thing that was going to change history just his stupid rap show

Unless the King no longer wants her, Swinko Swinko should still be around.

Also yes I assume it was just his stupid rap show.

Flashback time!

Young Phinks is killing me

Ok, time to write:


They reach the conclusion Heily are teleporting to move in/out.
The soldiers from last chapter are already with the other mafias, we didn't have a 'first meeting' scene. Keeping the pace brisk.
Of course, the main part of the chapter is the Spiders flashback. I liked how its linked to the current events, a reflection of a time where they weren't so different to the Heily. Young, and angry with the world.
If the flashback is going to fully explain how the troupe (3 separate gangs in this flashback) joined up, how they turned into professional thieves, their relation with Sheila (who is the girl with the book that is the same girl from the special Kurapica origin chapter), and the original of Kurata clan extermination, which should be related to the line of Nobunaga implying they were much more remorseless killers before), it's going to be a fairly long flashback. I expect for Togashi to split it in two, maybe now focus on how they joined up, and later what really with Sheika and Kurapica's clan.
It was of course, very cool to see them as youngins. Chrollo being so smart and inquisitive as young boy gives us parallels with Kurapica himself, and hell, Togashi makes Paku's death even worse now.


And finally: gosh this was unpredictable. Who could guess Togashi would go here, now? It kills a bit the pace of the succession war, I admit, but I'm sure later there will be payoff.

Young Phantom Troupe are adorable.

I like how the “not so different” cliche is being applied in opposite directions simultaneously; they aren’t as different from the Heil-Ly Mafia as they like to think, but they also aren’t as different from Kurapica as Kurapica likes to think.

I'd put Benjamin in his early to mid 40s. Camilla and Zhang in their 30s. Tserriednich in his late 20's.

Interesting that Meteor city underwent the transformation to being truly independent in such a short period of time. I honestly figured they were doing suicide bombings long before the previous elder developed Sun and Moon. In fact, I thought that his power was designed to make it even easier to get revenge since S&M is impossible to detect by modern technology. Also, Hinrigh's continued competence really endears me to him despite the dude being a human trafficker.

It didnt click until I saw another map of the black whale this chapter: Nasubi totally expects the Black Whale to sink in all the conflicts of the Succession War, doesnt he? Thats why that goofy cruise ship is on top, its the entirety of the first level and when all the fighting gets out of control and the Black Whale sinks, the cruise ship can just sail right away with the Succesion War winner safely on board.
