Pretty sure it's safe to call any of the Royal Guards "it" but the real question is whether Kite is a girl or a boy

Pre-Death Kite was male, his new chimera ant body or whatever is female.

Weren't nen users that were eaten by the queen reincarnated as ants? Of course not all of them remembered their former lives.

I want to say this only happened if their brains were intact on death but I might be making that up. Considering Kite was the last Hunter turned into an Ant by the Queen though, Pokkle ain't coming back.

Huh? Didn't Pokkle die well before Kite even got there?

I think that bit is probably in reference to the fear people had that radiation was contagious in that way.

Well, it kinda is if it's had contact with your clothes or skin. Radiation sickness itself can't be passed on though.

Chrollo was just terrible with his ability during his fight against Zeno and Silva, all he did was wave it around a bit and then he ended up shelving his book because it didn't do jack poo poo for him.

To be fair he wasn't trying to win, he was just buying time.

Looking through the official release now and the two parts I checked were Salkov telling Theta "don't look at it" rather than "don't look" which makes more sense. A bigger change imo is what she says at the end makes her intentions far clearer.

Fan translation: "I... I have no choice" which I kind of thought sounded like she was saying she had no choice but to answer him but that could just be me.

Official: "I have to put a stop to this, I'm the only one who can" which is much clearer and thematically fits.

So she's going to try to kill Prince T but get killed by his nen monster, and he'll figure out nen from there(after being hit with it)?

One thing I've never really liked about the restrictions/penalty system with nen is that then a common strategy should be to avoid driving a nen user into a corner, since then they might just give up their life for a massive power boost. Is the idea that only really talented people can do it on command?

She saw something strangling her and they deduced it was a clone that did it. The clone's face is hidden and they never outright state that the clone couldn't be an animal in a suit that is similar in shape to a human. Goreinu was also, rather suspiciously, nowhere to be found while she was being killed.

Goreinu's gorillas are emission, so normal people shouldn't be able to see them. Though this is a bit of a strange case since it's a woman who has a temporary nen power observing through a cockroach.

This might explain how Kurapika intends to teach everyone nen in 2 weeks, maybe?

On the other hand given the drawbacks of his Dolphin I'm probably wrong.

Yeah I'm guessing he'll activate everyone's Nen and then spend the 2 weeks teaching them the basics of controlling it.
I wonder how his dolphin will work on a person who already has Nen though...

You're not supposed to know who it is. The idea is that one of the characters introduced this chapter was saying that but we don't know who.

There's a character in MHA who can control people and the trigger for it is if he asks them something and they respond, but it can be broken by a shove from someone else. It's a pretty insanely good power but you're kind of hosed as soon as people know how it works, that's what Cammy's power is like. I don't think she has another trick up her sleeve for Benjamin. I think whichever poster said her power rules as long as people do as she wants (which is her defining characteristic) was right on the money.

And yet the main protagonist still falls for it even after he knows how it works :laugh:

The problem with Tubepa and Luzarus is that they took the short stick and Togashi has dedicated to them the least amount of time to them, which may indicate they won't play a big role in the arc... because they will die soon.

Yeah it was really weird that their beasts were suddenly explained for no reason. Makes me think they or their beasts won’t be relevant.

Isn't it just so it can draw attention and give an opportunity for the snakes to kill someone? And only letting 1 person see it helps create confusion.

Thinking about it, I love that Hisoka's particular brand of insanity is so well known that Illumi can just show up in the middle of the Phantom Troupe's high-alert death watch for him and be like "Hisoka's my best friend, but also kind of wants to kill me, so he hired me to kill him and that's why I'm joining up with you lot." and no one thinks it's suspicious.

With any other two characters that would sound like an obvous set-up for a double agent, but with Hisoka and Illumi everyone in story and out just accepts it instantly as something they'd do.

I mean, has Hisoka ever actually lied outside of combat?

So here’s a fun theory: Instead of being a ridiculous Nen genius, what if Tserriednich is faking it and knew Nen from the beginning? I can’t really think of a reason why he would do this though.
