I wonder why Tse wants to get his Zetsu activation under 1 second. Is it simply a matter of being able to hide his presence and Nen beast as quickly as possible, or does it have something to do with his Hatsu? There was a big emphasis on him opening his eyes while in Zetsu in the previous chapter, which was followed by Theta's illusion. In this chapter, he once again ties activating Zetsu to closing and reopening his eyes. This doesn't seem like a simple coincidence to me.
Halkenburg's development continues to be one of my favorite aspects of the latest batch of chapters. He went from an idealist to a cutthroat motherfucker, and the change still feels very much believable. Dude looked downright sinister in some of the panels this week.
