What do we consider Netero since he was an enhancer? He's probably not a specialist but he's also not a straight up enhancer.

At least emission (for the statue) and maybe manipulation (for the movement). But the movement part could also be a condition tying his hand movements to the statue, either way in the minimum emission is needed.

I guess I was speaking more to the scale and power of his abilities after his training which seemed to transform him into something beyond normal Nen users, well human ones at least.

I think that's tied more to potential and the sheer amount of training he did than Nen type shenanigans.

It still just "normal" nen, but it's interconnected with his crazy punch/hand movement, that's his hatsu main power. Without that hand speed the statue would be a lot easier to deal with, still dangerous but still not nearly as op.

Maybe without him being an enhancer he would have never reached those speeds in his training.

Every chapter is a gift

Hisoka - of all the characters in the HxH universe - being the most wanted man on that ship will make this arc legendary. This dude will pull off all kinds of fuckery and I can't wait to see that shit. I wonder *when* he'll show up

I also co-sign Stallion's observation that a lot of these new Nen abilities remind me of game design (Morena's ability is pretty blatant in that regard).

I was actually expecting Hisoka to be the one trying to ambush Nobunaga, Feitan and Phinks. That man's going to get wrecked though.

I don't think he's fighting them, he just seems like a fanboy coming to look at them. Unless he's getting cocky and wants to level up fast, still killing normal people is easier and safer.

What if we don't even get to see Hisoka on the ship at all? Half of the disasters going on because of him and he stays completely hidden

Or maybe we don't see him, we only see the results of his reverse cat&mouse game, with bodies dropping left and right. This would feel like some sort of serial killer which would also fall in line with the more 'horror' vibe of this arc.

Isn't Kakin Mafia fall under the same flag as Tsaradhin Prince?

I mean for now, who knows what theor plans are.

He's probably either going to help them or try and impress them

they already did set up the troupe had fans in the mafia

have this arc more characters than Game of Thrones?
LOL

with this chapter, the theory of Hisoka been disguised as a bodyguard has more validity

I really like this idea of him being hidden all the time while we see the results of his actions now and then. There are a lot of possibilites for sure; I can see all of these characters on this ship killing themselves while Hisoka survives and is the first who sets foot on the Dark Continent

Same here! I wonder what will happen to the guy. Seems like he wants to collab with them?

I don't think epidemic is her actually ability, she got it from someone else and got to level 100. Maybe she has something else too.

How is hxh expecting me to memorize all these characters

I gave up a long time ago. The issue isn't even neccessarily that there's a lot of characters. The problem is that many of them are so samey-looking, or that he just dumps them on you all at once, as well as it being hard to tell which ones will actually be prominent. I can remember stuff like rare candy girl, but the bodyguards and what not, not so much.

I gotta believe bodies are about tobsgart dropping. I can't imagine anyone else getting involved, maybe some more of the zodiacs (hopefully Leorio).

In one of the recent chapters, one of the characters said something to the effect of, "Don't get hung up on the details."

Togashi isn't expecting anyone to remember literally every single character (though some HxH fans are willing to do so).

I'm able to just remember the basic roles of different characters, but I can't come remotely close to remembering all these damn names.

Anyway, great chapter. I didn't think the powder keg could get any more packed, and I was veeeeeeery wrong. The Kakin mafia, and the bastard child fixers are looking to have a real impact on this arc.

I also can't wait for the Hisoka reveal! The build-up to that eventual moment is just getting better and better, with each chapter that passes. Looks like everyone is going to be on the lookout for this man, and Hisoka will revel in the chaos.

It'd be rather amazing if all this shit is going down and Hisoka is the cause of a lot of it and he's not even on the boat. Maybe creeping on Gon trying to help him get his Nen back.

Unless a character does something good/cool i really don't care about his name. Like Vergei i couldn't remember his name until he had that chapter with Bisky, now i don't forget.

I could see Hisoka doing something like that with Gon. Although I shudder to think how Hisoka would initiate Gon, post resurrection . . . But I got to imagine he's on the boat. This shit is quickly turning into his idea of an amusement park.

I do like how he tries to make each character look distinct in some way. Odd nose, odd eyebrows, different head sizes. More than just sameface with a different hairdo and suit (which is hard to do since most of them are wearing about the same anyway).

... That said when the first bodyguard during Kurapika's lesson got choked by snakes it took me until Vergei's yelling to actually realize who he was, lol

Nah Hisoka is in the boat, why would he miss all this fun? It's gonna be the best week of his life before he dies.

I hope Vergei doesn't get killed too soon. I want to see him fawning over Bisky some more.

He might be one of the safest of all, because of the pocket space ability. Me too, also want to see Bisky reaction when realizes the guy likes her muscles form.

I'm waiting for the next person to die on the toilet.

The toilets themselves are being instructed to kill, the work of enemy nen.

Bisky likes younger men so he is probably gonna be rejected =(

This was Bisky reaction to naked ripped Hisoka.
Vergei don't look that much older, also considering how he's muscle crazy he gonna be ripped too.

Isn't Hisoka 20-something at most? Vergei looks like he is in his mid thirties to me. I remember Leorio being 17-18 years old and they don't look to different age wise.
Also, Hisoka without clown makeup is handsome and I remember Bisky "reading" a lewd magazine with naked young guys photos when she was training Gon and Killua to fight Knucke and Shoot.

Of course Tsandwich has a totally insane nihilistic scarred up woman working for him.

Edit: Its also impressive how the Phantom Troupe is taking Hisoka incredibly seriously. They aren't splitting up to do their own think and even Feitan was implying that Hisoka could match them individually, even mentioning that Nobunaga himself stated he wasn't as strong as Hisoka.
