Doesn't he have to steal it from you to use it? So is Shalnark now powerless? Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 22:37 on May 14, 2016 |

Yes, he seems to have stolen Shalnark's power. Kortopi's too (Gallery Fake), actually. He probably "borrowed" them specifically for this fight with Hisoka.

If Chrollo dies then what happens to the psychic girl's powers? Will she be able to tell the future again?

Some of them might be a little sentimental or inclined to leave Gon and Killua alone. That does not include Chrollo. If he thought it would provide an edge against Kurapika, he would absolutely murder some children. That Gon lost his nen is irrelevant.

This is especially true if he happens to be genetically predisposed towards back issues. My mum is like that and has worked office jobs for the past 40 years and has had to have four major back surgeries (with a fifth likely coming up in the next few years).

So Chrollo just upped the stakes He doesn't need to keeping Gallery Fake bookmarked or open to keep the copies manifested. If they are tagged with Sun and Moon they stay around because the seal won't allow them to disappear.

I knew it, 'Chrollo' was a copy. I think this is the first time we've seen Hisoka actually bothered in a fight. For that matter, I can't think of a time where we've seen a fight from his point of view - everything has been from the outside between Hisoka and whoever's getting punked that chapter.

Oh man, and I thought he would have trouble with crowds because his skill set isn't very suited for it. I should have expected the severed head flail. Oh wait, no I shouldn't have, because who the hell expects something like that?

Chrollo has the right idea with this clone parade, because as Hisoka just demonstrated once he tags you with Bungee Gum you're pretty well hosed.

This fight rules. Bungee Gum's insane versatility (With the properties of rubber and gum... ....) vs. Chrollo's really creative combinations of his very specific powers. It's super fun to read!!

Giving Hisoka a really basic power set is a fantastic idea because rather than it devolving into the usual shonen powerups it means this character is threatening because he's really intelligent about the use of his seemingly basic powers. It helps underline the idea that the super-complex awesome megacool Nen powers with laundry lists of rules are not inherently better than a simple power used intelligently.

HxH continues to have the best fights of possibly any shounen series (with the potential exception of World Trigger). I actually like that Chrollo seems to be limiting himself to those several abilities we've seen used in this fight. While completely plausible, it would be kind of lame if he just pulled out some extremely convenient new ability to beat Hisoka. It's more interesting if the audience more or less knows what tools he has available.

Well, unless it is a condition of his bookmark, but I don't think he would take something that inconvenient.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the condition; copy abilities are already absurdly powerful, so using more than one copied ability at a time needs a serious drawback.

Overloading hisoka with information that contains hidden truths is still to his favour, as seen in the chapter. He actually told him the seal wouldn't go away, but hisoka didn't expect the clones with the seal to be permanent

Another thing that might come into play: We've always been told that Nen is "limited". Fights have a reservoir of it that should run out. Now granted we've only ever seen newby users, and really just Gon and Killua at that, run out of nen but that could be a factor in this fight. Chrollo is using a ton of Nen. He's got 5(?) abilities on call, plus his own native ability and the book mark, he's making god knows how many copies, stamping them, marking them, controlling them, plus holding up the nen shield that I forgot the name to, using Gyo to control other things and keep an eye out for Hisoka's abilities. So, sure, the dude is crazy strong but he's like an F1 racer right now. Going all out with near perfect precision. But he'll need a pitstop at some point. Meanwhile Hisoka's just Bungee-gumming around and doing the normal combat nen thing. He's going to be able to last a lot longer. I don't really remember a situation where running out of nen was a thing for anyone but Gon, but it could be if Togashi wanted it to go that way.

Crain posted:(Assuming you mean Hakoware) True, but it's still based on the user's total nen. People with more nen have more time before they reach their limit. Also, on a tangent from that, but that big post up there and Chrollo using Gallery Fake reminded me that Kortopi had enough nen to easily make fifty skyscrapers. Chrollo or whoever asked him to make them was expecting five, meanwhile. This isn't particularly relevant here but it's interesting that someone with a non-combat (on its own) ability and who was the weakest Troupe member physically and all had such ridiculous amounts of nen.
