Same, I'm horrible with names and there's too many moving pieces for me to effectively track. I'm fully planning to reread when this boat thing wraps up in 2025 or whatever

Glad to see I'm not the only one who finds it difficult to remember names. I usually refer to the characters as "Prince #4" or "Prince #13 Bodyguard", though on occasion I might remember a name.

Speaking of Prince #13, I wonder what would happen if he left his room. I guess we'll find out when the banquet comes.

Weren't the Spiders going to attack at the next banquet?

Since Kalluto and Illumi are part of the Spiders, are they vulnerable to Kurapika's nen?

When you're reading/watching a different action series with aura fighting, have you ever started comparing that series' power system to Nen? For example, sometimes when I read One Piece and I see someone use Haki, I think "They using Kou or Shu and sometimes Gyo."

Why are there people assuming Hisoka killed Neon? He doesn't know who she is, what she looks like, and he would have to deal with Kurapika, who is using her family's name.

Since we're waiting again, there's this thought I had recently. What would happen if a female Nen user were to use Nen while pregnant? We know Aura Nodes can be forced opened, so this would probably open the nodes on the baby. But what effect would this have on the child? Would they be able to master Aura at a ridiculously young age?

That's pretty funny, as a pair of chapters ago some people jokingly guessed the same. Talk about prophetic.

In a way it doesn't seem that weird to me, as this Arc had already some Jojo references (nen beasts = stands, the nen beasts stopping Halkenburg bullet with the tip of the fingers like at the start of Part 3), so this cements on Togashi making a riff on some of the most famous shonen works with different HxH arcs. CA arc had several DBZ references, like Meruem being so similar to Cell and his ability of absorbing other people's nen to grow stronger, and Gon-san was a clear homage to Goku turning super-saiyan (except... you know, better, as it had a proper dramatic setup, ithad more emotional resonance, and it had some internal logic and long-lasting consequences).


Back during the Election arc there was a riff on Rotation from Jojo part 7 as well as flat out Jotaro Kujo.

King Crimsom is a pretty powerful ability but the requirement of being in Zetsu and its nature means that it's quite useless against indiscriminate destruction abilities like Feitan's. It's the same weakness that made Araki get rid of Fugo in Jojo.

I keep seeing people say this and I have to speak up. It was only someone's speculation years ago that the reason Fugo was removed was because his Stand was too powerful. The real reason is that Araki was going to have Fugo be a spy and then betray the group, but Araki couldn't go through with it and just wrote him out.

Doesn't Hisoka going after Kortopi and then Shalnark right after resurrecting and saying that he should control the situation with his opponents confirm that they had were involved with the fight?

I can't remember the prince's name, but the psychopath, the one who can do the 10-second instant time bullshit - I wonder if Chrollo is going to try and steal that ability. That's the kind of thing I feel like he would be all over if he learned about it. Given all the moving parts of the succession war, I can't imagine the Spiders won't be involved in at least some significant way in how it plays out.
Maybe that guy's former bodyguard, the woman who tried to kill him, will hire Chrollo to do that just.

On a different note, was one of the rules of the succession war that none of the princes can leave the ship until they reach the Dark Continent? When they reach the fake Dark Continent, I wonder how many will die when they try to leave the boat.

Those mafia guys would kill you if they think they could get away with it. The Phantom Troupe and Hisoka know they can get away with it so they barely bother.

The argument in this chapter about whether a power is Conjuration, Emission, or Specialization made me laugh. The manga is turning into this thread! It even manages to confuse the issue of Knov's power that we were discussing earlier further, since it creates a special space, but uses it to effectively teleport people. Maybe Knov's power is Conjuration, and it works because it isn't "teleportation" in the sense Nobunaga means?

Edit: I like how Nobunaga learned from Gon and Killua to always consider the possibility of breaking a wall.

I love that detail.
