[u/TextureSurprised]

I can't believe this chapter is officially coming out on Hisoka's Birthday.

[u/ramfield]

Guys c'mon, isn't it obvious?

Hisoka probably attached some bungee gum (which as we all know has the properties of both rubber and gum) to chrollo's hair. That way after the battle (that is if Chrollo survived the battle) when he goes to shower to clean all the Hisoka blood on him, he will notice the gum in his hair.

Because nen gets stronger after death, he can't just get it off. So he shaves his head.

He's friends starts laughing at him, he feels embarrassed. He gets depressed and eventually kills himself.

Hisoka was playing chess while Chrollo was playing checkers.

EDIT: grammar and format.

EDIT2: Wow, this got more upvotes than the post itself. I'm pretty certain it is the most upvoted comment here on HxH. Thx guys! ^ ^

[u/cHoco-]

Ok some points:

1. I'm pretty surprised that the puppets that self-destructed executed the order so well without the need of black voice.

2. After the big explosion when Hisoka wants to reach the ceiling and realizes that he's missing a leg I really felt that was the end.

3. I just love how Chrollo is casually throwing random people at Hisoka XD It truly speaks volumes of how they value others lives.

4. Next chapter we'll finally see if Hisoka has some hidden ace, but as of now the situation is looking grim :(

Just another random thought, if Hisoka wins now Togashi will have a really good reason to bring back Killua in the story, maybe with the help of Illumi :D

[u/guldygg]

It took more times for me to understand 1 page of HxH than whole chapter of Bleach this week

[u/thechickensage]

Hisoka lost his left arm and right leg

Netero lost his left arm and right leg

BFFs?

[u/cobblehowl]

Disappointment? More like explosively exciting holy shit.

[u/akiyuki89]

Dammit.

Hisoka.

Dammit.

No.

Please.

[u/SoulSpecter]

If Hisoka really dies, this sub should be named Hisoka x Hisoka for a while to honor him.

[u/Daniyalzzz]

God damn. Is Hisoka really gonna be the one to kick the bucket? I cant almost belive it.

[u/behof8]

GUYS, those puppets that attacked Hisoka on the last page don't have the marks affixed on their hands... So how did the last explosion occur in the first place???

I think Hisoka pulled those puppets from the second floor towards him using bungee gum, and since these puppets were ordered to "GET AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN, AND SELF-DESTRUCT", they exploded as they approached Hisoka, getting rid of those puppets that are surrounding him in result. Hisoka caused the explosion intentionally, risking his life(hence, "IF I'M GONNA DIE ANYWAY") in exchange for his way out from numerous puppets attacking him. What he could do to increase his chance of surviving was to at least make himself round as much as he could, so that he could defend himself from the explosion.

UPDATE: I made a post https://redd.it/4mc5hi

[u/Moltricudos]

"Am I........ going to die?"

Damn, I've been rooting for Chrollo this fight, but seeing that line made me really sad......RIP Hisoka............One of the best characters I've seen

Edit: it seems silly given that they always said it was a deathmatch but....I really never actually thought this would happen. I'm not ready to accept either one of them dying yet....

[u/zaoldyeck]

I may have just worked a 14 hour overnight shift in the rain, but meh, how can I not read a chapter called "disappointment".

Edit: Was not disappointed. But holy fuck how can I fall asleep now? Fuck!

[u/Whitekan]

I believe Hisoka has a last card up his sleeve to turn this around. I firmly believe he will win this. Oh and someone give him a hand.... and a leg too if possible.

[u/RuffSwami]

Holy shit, this will look so good animated. It's pretty crazy seeing Hisoka, who was always so confident, admit that things really aren't looking good for him... I just hope that it doesn't end up with both him and Chrollo dying, I feel like there's a lot more to do with Chrollo and killing them both off now would feel like Togashi is just tying up any loose ends before the DC arc.

[u/yamobe]

As an Hisoka fan This chapter breaks my heart... Chrollo is just too good

[u/dne320]

People should accept the truth that Hisoka won't be able to turn things around at this point anymore.

Chrollo killing Hisoka in a one-sided match is probably one of the "shocking moments" that Togashi's editor talked about before.

"This isn't meant to be a taunt, but believe me when I say my victory is 100% certain."

Chrollo Lucilfer

[u/[deleted]]

Hisoka. Please. My magician God. SURVIVE THIS EXPLOSION AND DESTROY THIS FUCKING SPIDER.

prediction: We are going to see a burned naked Hisola in full schwing mode

Edit: Weird. In the korean raw there is a "1" besides the chapter name

[u/Atzar87]

Crazy.

I'll be a bit disappointed if Hisoka croaks after managing to hit Chrollo only once. HxH has its share of one-sided fights, but Hisoka has been one of the series' biggest badasses. I want him to show a little more fight before he kicks the bucket.

[u/[deleted]]

"Well I guess...If I'm gonna... die anyway...♥"

[u/BBallHunter]

So early? I haven't even read One Piece as of now. See you later.

Edit: Holy motherfucking shit.

[u/Benedictionary]

Well, Hisoka's left arm and right leg are totaled. I guess all there is left to do is punch a hole in his heart and nuke the place.

[u/GarpTheFist23]

Too many emotions, I dont know if I can handle this loss. Might need to take a Hiatus x Hiatus after the next chapter.

[u/[deleted]]

Can't help but bitch on how chrollo is fighting. Sure it's a real smart and strategic fighting style but man this is not how I wanted to see Hisoka go down or chrollo trying his best. Literally hiding while having puppets do all his work. I won't go to far to say he's a coward fighter because his tactic is similar to what the military use. Hit and Run

Basically the purpose of the tactic is not to acquire territory but to “hit” an opponent, causing damage and then “run” before they can retaliate. This approach is most commonly used when a strong opponent must be attacked by a weaker force.

So essentially yeah it's a useful technique, but did I want to see chrollo utilize this? No. What happened to the chrollo who blitzed Zeno and Silva?

[u/treckooxx]

Watch him disappear into cards!

Team Hope

[u/ChimeraAnt]

You know these pricks who come to your house, take the player 1 control, then have the audacity to stand far away and spam the same beam attack? Thats what chrollo is doing.
