Man, Nen really does allow Togashi to do whatever the fuck he wants. Dunno how I feel about the ability itself, but Terror Sandwich is certainly gonna be an even bigger pain in the ass now.

Conflicted about this chapter though. I like stuff where you get to see things from a different perspective, but man did it hurt reading a chapter like this when we presumably only have a few more left until the next hiatus.
Yeah, I wish he had done a little more besides having it be all Tserr. and his ability, but if it's going to be important, I understand why.

But it's miles better than 367: an entire chapter spent gaining control of cockroach which Tserr.'s Nen Beast would kill two chapters later lol.

What a cheap ability. Kind of confirms the obvious that this arc really is playing out like something of a board game. Most of the abilities aren't really interesting in a combat sense.

Also, insane amount of text. I doubt Togashi has an editor but he massively needs one.

Remember, my man: you can take a break at anytime!

And yes, he has an editor.

Well now that we have read the chapter, I think we can understand if the plot hasn't progressed: this ability *needed* to flashback/rewind and replay a previous chapter to make sense of it, and it was complex enough to need a few pages for the explanation.

Can we stop and appreciate that Togashi is making T.Sandwich a compelling character to follow becuase he's giving the villain a fucking training arc?

What I love about it is it connects back to Yorknew and Neon's (I mean, Chrollo's) prophecies (and the Troupe trying to change them).

Probably a good idea, as I still think Togashi creates some compelling characters and scenarios. Waiting it out to the end of this arc will probably take several years, however. My impatience is also tied into his limited release schedule.

I will take that advice and wait until this run is over and go through it, and do likewise in the future.

Hoo boy, that ability is broken. Glad we found out exactly what happened there. Is this ability separate from his tree nen beast too, crikey.
We at least know that the princes are susceptible to Melody's trance. If Tsandwich manages to master zetsu he's gonna be ridiculous to fight against.

He will have zetsu mastered in less then 2/3 days. Zetsu never seemed to be that hard to learn so at his current rate its not gonna take long.

I don't think it's too bad since it's not a passive ability nor does it auto proc like KC. Still I'm curious as to where Togashi is going with this. Hes gotten the build up as the arcs big bad but theres so many big players. Is Kurapica really gonna be the one? Ahh. I need more than 10 chapters this time Togashi. Theres to many angles

Take a break, i thought this arc was pretty bad until i binge read it some years after it had started, with hxh the more you can bing the better it gets, unfortunately

Lmao togashi tried so hard to explain this ability but I still feel like I only 75% understand it

I hope we can really get into the action of the arc now, what else needs to be set up at this point

Maybe Kurapika will team up with Chrollo to fight the sandwich man.

True at the rate he's going it shouldn't take long. Risky to use in the middle of the fight. Will have some interesting interactions with other abilities, e.g. Ben's/Musse's bird eye.

We might see some of the other princes have an awakening. I have a feeling the shitstorm isn't too far away.

I mean, can Kurapika solo all of these fucking Princes?
Kurapika's Sharingan is pretty powerful though


If his stealing ability places the target in forced Zetsu, can he even steal Sandwich's hatsu?

E: actually, if he places sandwich in forced Zetsu, would his ability still be active but unable to be released? How does this work? Lol

I thibk it's kurapika's natural counter if it needs to be in zetsu to work, that's pretty troublesome indeed

I can see sandwich being defeated by AoEs only D:

The ability activates when his eyes are shut. But if like in the last chapter he can get this down (eyes open - zetsu - close eyes - ability - open eyes) to one second then he'll be able to use it in battle, I guess we'll see it if he has a practice duel with Theta's pal. Although this is HxH so sometimes a second is a long time xD

Oh wait I guess the syringe doesn't force them into Zetsu, just something similar

Kurapika can just steal his ability and be fucking done with it lol

I guess there's still the nen beast to worry about though. if he can change the future he can avoid having his ability stolen though I guess

At the end of the day the prince is still a "normal" human, he got no speed/strength right now so any attack with a wide radius would kill him since he would not be able to run away fast enough or survive the hit. I do wonder though how the nen royal beasts stack up in terms of power in a nen battle.

To give the sandwich a little credit, he's definitely still hardier than a normal human, we saw him presumably turn a normal human into mush a few chapters ago :P But sizing him up against experienced and savvy nen users, e.g. Troupe or as you say ones with ridiculous abilities and he might not fare too well.

I equate everything we've seen since they've boarded the boat with the first half of the Chimera Arc which was a ton of set up, characterization, training and so on. The second half will be all these insanely powered characters to do battle freely as we should have a pretty good idea of bothe their powers work and how they will act. I feel once all said and done complaints about this part will be muted if the pay off is worth it.

Still, remember how Gon was able to dodge so well in zetsu? He can't attack with it, but defensively he seems like he's going to be set. And that's not even counting his other nen beast defending him.
His beast would go away when activates this

I love the set up. It's also necessary when there's so many layered or complicated abilities. The princes are well educated too it makes sense they'd apply tests to the powers they've just got. I reckon we might see something of Tubeppa next or Luzurus. There's still lots of guardian beast things we've not found out yet.

I hope one of Morena's goons is wearing this shirt

It was said so in 385.

I think Togashi is intentionally making him a Jojo villain. I mean his hatsu is foresight, why would it have a stand? Gotta be for those lapses.
