If I have one complaint about HXH is it really likes to throw walls of text and exposition at you.

Technically the rules were designed to discourage murder (cards disappear when the owner dies), it's just that their enforced card rarity limits were incredibly poorly thought out, making destroying rare cards by killing preferable to negotiation. Just like real game design.

"We need some NPCs for this game, Ging." "Use criminals as slave labor." "That seems a bit hosed u-" "If my son shows up, have them try to kill him. GING OUT!" "-p."

Ging is like the worst anime father who isn't actively beating or trying to murder his son. Which actually makes him better than a sizable amount of anime dads, but still.

The hype for Hisoka is ridiculous. I mean Chrollo literally stockpiled abilities just for fighting this guy.

We've never, in the entire run of this comic, seen Hisoka get serious. Not once ever. Chrollo going all "Batman prep-time" for this fight should go a long way towards telling everyone just how powerful this dude actually is.

I think chrollo stealing or borrowing shalnarks ability makes sense. If chrollo dies, presumably the ability goes back so the spiders know if the fight is lost immediately and might have a contingency for it. Maybe, i dunno, awesome chapter tho.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to watch a Nen fight from that close, in a confined area, no less. Especially, since it has no barriers or anything really to protect you.

Also if you aren't a nen user it'd be a lot less interesting to watch. Not as boring as that event in harry potter where the spectators stared at a lake with nothing visible for two hours though.

I wouldn't say that; most of the fights we've seen in the Heaven's Tower would have been great even without seeing Nen. Hisoka versus Kastro was particularly special, but none of them really relied on seeing Nen for audience entertainment. Things like Hisoka pulling Gon around with Bungee Gum would have looked odd, to be sure, but that's about it.

I hope Hisoka survives, partially because "Hisoka wants to fight this particular badass" is enough of a hook to keep him popping up, but mostly because I've come up with the best loving dream booking for him: Morel.

Well, they were monitoring them magically, the crowd could see what was going on. Chrollo has a bunch of conjured abilities and such, so those would be visible to the crowd at least. The crowd would probably need to be badasses to even follow the fights at all, considering Chrollo once hit someone so fast it was barely visible on a single frame of CCTV footage.

Butt Ghost posted:Does Bungee Gum affect Morel's Purple Haze Soldiers? he can stick it easier on your defensive nen, so yes. Well, it could be argued either way really. But morau has got some good stuff going, and he's far too laid back to fight hisoka to the death. His power is literally to stall and make it hard for the opponent

If the question is: "Does Bungee Gum X?", the answer is: "Yes." or "No, but Texture Surprise does." I guess he technically does have the unnamed ability of nen-infused playing cards. That's it though, right?

That's it though, right? That's, if I remember right, Shu. It's one of your basic aura abilities, Gon and Killua use it to enhance the shovels they use to dig through that mountain on Greed Island. Though Hisoka probably needed to ensure his Emission skills were up to snuff to use the things as ranged weapons.

Roland Jones posted:Spoilers: Chrollo does manage to steal Bungee Gum, tries to use it against Hisoka, and then Hisoka defeats him with nothing but Texture Surprise. While using Texture Surprise to defeat Chrollo would be good, my guess is Hisoka uses Bungee Gum as the main method. For instance attach Bungee Gum to the end of the pin and Chrollo's hand, use a small bit of concentration to keep it super stretchy. Then if he get's stuck with the pin the Bungee Gum retracts, pulling the pin out. Bad Seafood posted:While I doubt either of them will actually get killed at this juncture, Chrollo's technically already had his big emotional confrontation with Kurapika so if anyone's going to die my money's on him. It could be that Chrollo still has the chain around his heart. The stipulation is that he can't use his Nen or he dies. But what if he's using someone else's Nen right now? Perhaps that's why he's doing all this Shonen explanation trope stuff, because he has to in order for the borrowed Nen to work.
