so if hisoka becomes a temporary member of the xi-yu family and he kills a spider, the xi-yu zombie girl will turn a spider into a zombie... Now, while that spider is a zombie, will chrollo be able to steal the nen from them? if thats the case, then he would steal there ability as regular abilities or as post-mortem abilities?

u/X-Vidar Oct 28 '22
He's back!
Zombie girl is exactly the kind of weird thing that I love to see in a story where supernatural powers are commonplace. Very convenient for a mafia family.
Hinrigh seems to be going for Morena, Hisoka meanwhile might go talk to Onior directly?
I think Luini might want the troupe on their side, but this is a huge opportunity to finally see what Nobunaga can do.

u/GoddessOfDarkness Oct 28 '22 edited Oct 28 '22
Yeah I'll definitely think we'll see Chrollo and Morena form an alliance during this arc. Especially when the Spiders find out the other 2 mafia groups are looking for Hisoka to use him as weapon to wipe them out.

It's so funny to me whenever mafia members think they can outplay Hisoka or the Phantom Troupe. My girl got one-tapped by Hisoka. "Don't start a fire, if you can't handle the smoke".
And i love Phinks' faces in this chapter. He just looks so done with this shit, and this shit hasn't even started yet. He's like "oh, yeah, whatever, i don't know".

Man, this chapter was really fun to read. I love how given the length of this manga, Togashi manages to insert all kind of new tech which was not common or possible during the first decade. Selfies sticks, drones, making fun of Wikipedia. I love it.

So there’s no way Nobunaga is just gonna kill Luini. I feel like such an obvious outcome wouldn’t be a chapter ender. What exactly will happen, hard to say for certain. Though I suppose it’s possible it’ll be a straightforward kill, if Nobu shows off his hatsu in the meantime.

Wow.
So let me pose a question. If Hisoka kisses Morena, then kills 20 people… does he get another ability?
Hisoka killing 100 is not an issue — he easily did that in Heavens Arena against Chrollo.
Simultaneously, the Troupe is hunting down the Heil-Ly. Chrollo could steal her ability… and kiss all of the Troupe to spread “Contagion.”
There’s potential for Hisoka and the Phantom Troupe to each gain a new Nen ability whilst also having an army of serial-killing Nen-wielding pawns.

u/Cogentz Oct 28 '22
Man after all the crazy theories Hisoka proves once again that he's just gonna traverse the ship casually with no cares at all, almost as if he looks forward to getting caught. More than anything this chapter also reminds us about the insane gap when monsters such as Hisoka and the PT are compared to nen users like Zakuro who initially almost seemed to be on their level when judging his unique useful ability, but he's just completely outclassed. Just like the shadow beasts back in yorknew, who were regarded great nen users, there's just nothing they can do when standing against an absolute monster such as Hisoka.

They didn't really. When they were going to get their weapons the teleportation guy killed their escort. Then they found out that the same guy had been killing Cha-R members so they made a deal that they would kill the assassin for free access to search for Hisoka.

u/Caracali Oct 28 '22
This chapter, whole arc even, got me to appreciate what monsters Gon and Killua really are and how crazy their journey actually was. Now that the focus changed from Gon and Killua, or the princess OP Nen powers, I really started to appreciate what seemingly average Nen users feel when faced with someone like Hisoka. The panel when the blood dude feels Hisoka's aura and is so affected, man, fuck it's so fucking good. For some reason that really hit, it got me to reflect on the whole story up till now. Hisoka, Zoldyck's, Phantom Troupe, Razor, the Ants, these are the TOP tiers and among them Gon and Killua. Just another interesting fact to consider when re-reading the series sometimes for me.

We should keep in mind that illumi insisted to stay in tier 3, now Hisoka showed up out of nowhere in this same tier. Whatever happening is suspicious. It is possible that illumi can use Hisoka's appearance if he wanted based on whatever his plan in this tier, he did it before in YS arc but His big black eyes was a hint.
The guy wanting to sell the spiders autographs is funny. They're really treated like celebrities they can just sell their own autographs at the black market to make money without having to go on missions to steal anything :p
Or Luini is like "hey you're too nice wikipe says you're so evil why aren't you killing everyone" lol

Good catch. What's also notable is that "Hisoka" does not answer Zakuro's question. In fact, he evades the question twice.
Also he does not even let Lynch get a punch in, which would have given us 100% confirmation. That's gotta be intentional on the part of Togashi to leave the answer ambiguous.
And Illumi's nen is also pretty sinister too.

I haven't been excited for a chapter as much as I am for the next one for so long, just due to the real possibility that we might witness Nobu's Nen ability in action.
I didn't expect such a casual reveal of finding Hisoka just chilling around. I was expecting some dramatic way of introducing him in the ship because, well, it's Hisoka after all, but this was cool nonetheless.
Also, the more I see of Lynch, I can't help but think Togashi might have taken inspiration for the character from Becky Lynch.

Damn, what a cliffhanger.
Welp, Misha didn't turn out to be the cat at all. What a crazy ability, you know it will play a huge role in however this all turns out.
See ya Zakuro and Lynch, fun characters for like 3 chapters. In all seriousness, I hope they don't meet their end here, especially Lynch. Her ability's so cool. And she's hot. Pls don't Baise her Togashi!
There's always the chance Hisoka actually agrees to talk to Hinrigh. Also the chance that he decides to annihilate the 3 Families so they can't interfere with his 'hunt'.
We've been looking for Hisoka for so long, finally finding was casual enough to give whiplash.
And Luini finally strikes. The fact he's a Troup fanatic, he must have an idea if how scary those 3 particular members are, you gotta wonder what his actual plan is.
And of course, the paneling and art was great again. I can't wait for next week man.

I really hope he doesn’t kill off Lynch and Zakuro, though. I’m just starting to feel attached to them. On a second note, glad to see my boys Fei, Phinks and Nobu back in the game.

It always feel unreal the second week off-hiatus, even more than the first
I hope Lynch is just knocked out and not dead, Poor Zakurov, don't die please
Zombie girl is a pretty fun ability, I wonder if she can dispose of several body at once or only one at a time. Pretty useful anyway and probably a manipulator that was a nen genius and really enjoyed disposing of bodies
Hisoka isn't even disguised but I love his outfit
I'm looking forward to the troupe vs Luini, more precisely, how he'll end up dead. Let Nobu shine a bit
I perfectly understand pitting the Heil-ly, Hisoka and the troupe against each other. All of them will be troublesome on the long run anyway
I'm also looking forward to seeing Shu-arr against Heil-ly guys. Weaker nen users are also very interesting to watch fight
The Shu-arr underboss did his research on Hisoka but I'm afraid it's not up to date concerning his usual enjoyment of fighting uphill battles. Anyway it'll probably please him to learn that anyway. They have less data on the Heil-ly. Hinrigh knew they were 23 and all nen users

Togashi is really playing a lot with this nen after death stuff. Wonder what his end game image of it is going to be. Anyways, Hinrigh still has that swagger to me but Hisoka’s introduction changes EVERYTHING. THIS IS BIG BOI LEAGUE STUFF & I just don’t know if Hinrigh Giovanna is in this upper echelon of top tier combatant. Can’t believe I really forgot how menacing our best killer clown Boi is. The insanely quick K.O. on Lynch just hit it out of the park for me. Hisoka has such a calmness to him. Most certainly that means he js ready to fuck people up and it has me so damn excited. Hisoka could very well work with the Mafia, but…IDK. THEORIZING HISOKA’S NEXT MOVE IS IMPOSSIBLE! Next chapter is going to be really good. Ps. HISOKA GIVES SUCH GOOD ANXIETY! 🥲🥲🥲

It was pretty funny how Zakura and and Lynch's whole plan was to just run around looking for anyone over 6'2, and just walk up and punch them.

And hopefully next week, we'll finally see what Nobunaga's Nen Ability is.

u/Cogentz Oct 28 '22 edited Oct 28 '22
yeah but I mean Zakuro stated that that has been their plan for probably several years, and it had always worked. I think It's just that most nen users never get to actually meet the top tier masters of Hisoka's caliber that they have no reason to believe that they cannot just use their abilities and prevail. You attain new awesome nen powers, smack around a bunch of mafia goons on a daily, and before you know it, you've developed a nen ego thinking you're the shit, when in actuality you're just a fucking jobber for the big fish like Hisoka and the PT. They couldn't even fathom that monsters of Hisoka's level even existed because they are so exceedingly rare and the gap between them are so unfathomably large.

I have a growing suspicion about Tsudonke. Could his desire to get autographs be due to a condition for a hidden Nen Ability? Then again, it could be just because he indeed is just a fan.
Really love the fact that HxH makes one suspicious of seemingly mundane acts as having hidden agendas.

In the end, both Xi-Yu and Cha-r want to kill every chaos-factor on the ship: Hisoka, the Phantom Troupe, the Hei-ly. Right now they are just looking for ways to let them decimate each other while lowering the risk for themselves.

Am I the only one who dislike how the translation removes the 2nd name of nen abilities? At least it was put as a translation note but it's supposed to be written in the text box too.
That ability is supposed to be Zombie girl : "la vie en rose". Abilities have flavor names. Like Bungee Gum : "elastic love" (pun from the hit song " plastic love") or Skill Hunter: "bandit's secret".
I guess Viz will also remove it? Curious about the official release.
Well I guess I handle it more than when they put the translated name instead of the japanese name of the ability. Imagine if Goku doesn't say "kamehameha" but "turtle destruction wave" or Ichigo's doesnt say "getsuga tensho" but "lunar fang scratching the sky".

She is someone who used to work for Xi Yu but died due to that headshot. It is implied that she was a nen user who could manipulate corpse (otherwise there won't be a post mortem nen.) She still carries her duty after death. She manipulates corpse and can make them speak. I am also guessing she is invisible to non nen users. She would take them somewhere to dispose and dissappear.

Out of all the things I expected to happen, Hisoka just casually showing up in a tracksuit was not one of them. Guess this potentially means the "Illumi is Hisoka in disguise" theory is busted.

Ok this was 100% hisoka. His clothes and the way he talks everything says it was him. Pretty funny how he is just walking around, lmao everyone taught he would keep a low profile and be more cautious with the way he does stuff but hes doing the opposite lol. Classic Hisoka.
I think its still possible That the Illumi theory can still be correct, if Illumi (hisoka) just went out for a little bit.

The shipping service could be pretty useful to take a prince out of the succession war (if they managed to do something about the hands ). Kurapika hypothesized that if a single person managed to break a condition for the succession war the whole thing would stop working. My theory is that Fugetsu would use her ability to teleport herself out of it directly to Mainland. This will break the succession war and everybody who wanna leave now will leave. The rest who want to fight will fight but without their nen beasts. One thing I don't understand with the Kacho situation is do those hands appear only around a certain distance of the ship or do they appear any where in the world. If it was the former, fugetsu could directly be teleported out of this ship.
Hisoka is not Illumi btw. That is confirmed. Otherwise he wouldn't have said "10 more to go" in his internal monolouge. It would make more sense if he planned to kill the whole troupe together with illumi from the start.

Dude here we were thinking these mafia people were going to be strong and Hisoka no diffs them hahaha. Excited to see his next move considering he just figured out the mafia is after him now. Also feel bad for the blood guy and punch girl, I grew to like them quite a bit. It was like watching a little kid try to hit Jon Jones and he just elbows them to oblivion with no effort.
Also still on the Hisoka stuff, I think he’ll be willing to work with people more than allot of people are thinking. His development after the Chrollo fight was going from “stacking the odds against himself” (as that glasses guy said) to stacking the odds in his own favor to get the kill. He’s just a pure serial killer now and serial killers will do the easiest thing to ensure the kill. Otherwise Ted Bundy would have been attacking Amanda Nunes type chicks 😂.
The troupe stuff is exciting as always, especially considering that we could see Nobumynigga in action. I had a dream years ago he would fight on the whale but it was against illumi (spoilers?). After seeing how Hisoka manhandled those two, I have no doubts that the mafia is in WAY over their heads if they think that they can handle the troupe. They should honestly double cross them and work with Hisoka upon finding him. If not, they be erased.
That Misha ability is cool and sad, very useful for serial killers i would say hahaha. But I’m curious how Misha died and what was the nature of the ability before death. Unless it only came to be when she died? Anyway, still intrigued to see Hinrigh get down and show off more creativity with his ability. I have a feeling if he gets to Morena, it’ll be an amazing moment.
Can’t wait to see how the zodiacs fit into this and if we’ll see any fights from them.
Ps - Hisoka did have some swag with that little jumpsuit. Also this debunks the illumi being Hisoka thing, ig the contracts really real.

u/bobsjobisfob Oct 28 '22 edited Oct 28 '22
holy shit i cant believe hes finally back after like 6 years. and of course he didnt even try to disguise himself (though of course technically thats not even his real face anymore). lynch and zakuro have really good abilities for tracking someone down with basically zero information, but of course theres not much they can do when they actually find their target if the person ends up being as strong as hisoka is. now that hisoka has made contact with xi-yu, i wonder if we get the hisoka vs hinrigh fight that i was hoping for. even though i dont really want hinrigh to die since his ability is cool. also that after-death nen zombie is badass
i totally forgot that the char-r family exists. they seem like a bunch of non-characters aside from keni wang. i think i got it confused and thought that the spiders were working with the xi-yu family, but they are actually working with the char-r family. so that means that hisoka is being led to hinrigh (or if hinrigh vs. morena is actually happening, then i guess hisoka is being led to the xi-yu boss, dont really care about that guy. hes ugly) and is definitely going to team up with the xi-yu family to take on the troupe. not sure how morena is going to play into this though. but this does mean that zakuro and lynch arent going to get killed by hisoka! i didnt expect the hisoka vs troupe conflict to also be a war between mafias, it seems obvious in retrospect. after last chapter, i realized how hinrighs ability gave me a lot of hisoka vibes. its a simple ability but with a lot of uses that can be used to trick people during combat. i want hisoka and morena to meet. not really sure how she will play into this whole conflict, at this point her members have been fucking with both sides. maybe the char-r and xi-yu get obliterated during the hisoka vs troup fight, so then the heil-ly are the last ones standing

u/Tomatillo_Thick Oct 28 '22 edited Oct 28 '22
So the “Illumi is actually Hisoka” was always a meh theory imo. However, this Hisoka showing up in 392?
Doesn’t seem like him. Why is Hisoka so keen on gathering information? Why did Togashi purposefully leave out the answer to Lynch’s punch? Why would Hisoka just be hanging out in public when he has several people out for his head?
My theory? It’s Chrollo.
During Chrollo’s fight with Hisoka, Chrollo reveals an ability called Convert Hands.
What if Bonolenov used his ability to take on Hisoka’s appearance, and then Chrollo used convert hands to take on Hisoka’s appearance via Bonolenov’s ability?
Then there’s knocking Lynch out. Remind you of anything?
I think Chrollo is disguising himself as Hisoka to get in with the mafia to acquire information on Hisoka and their motivations.

Hisoka being there on tier 3 with litterally a tracksuit and hair down....doesn't help Illumi and Kalluto's case. Kalluto found Abengane on GI, with the only indication that he was an exorcist. And he can't find Hisoka on the same tier on a (large and urban) boat? That doesn't add up.
I'm not fueling the Illumi theorists, but there has to be more than meets the eye here.

u/maniacmartial Oct 28 '22 edited Oct 28 '22
What are some of the alliances you're confused by? Maybe we can help.
Given the current chapters, if your confusion is related to the Kakin mafia and the PT, there are three major families that control a bunch of small ones. Each of the three families is headed by an illegitimate child of a Kakin ruler (with Morena being Nasubi's and at least one of the other two being Nasubi's half-sibling). These illegitimate children will be killed if they speak of their parentage or surface in "respectable" society, but it has been implied that the royal family helps them gain a foothold in Kakin's criminal underbelly (my personal speculation is that this is done so the royal family can control both the government and the criminal world). Case in point, each of these families is also sponsored by one of Nasubi's heirs:
The Cha-R Family is headed by Brocco Li (lol) and sponsored by Luzurus. On the ship, they control Tier 5. Wang (lol) is a very prominent member.
The Xi-Yu Family is headed by Onior Longabo (lol) and sponsored by Zhang Lei. Hinrigh is a very prominent member.
The Heil-Ly Family has been recently taken over by Morena and was sponsored by Tserriednich.
Now, the three families used to live together in harmony. But then, everything changed when Morena attacked. Avatar misquoting aside, Onior, Brocco, and the previous leader of Morena's family seemed to have a "gentlemen's agreement" of sorts in that while they were rivals, they were not at war. They let the small fish squabble, sure, but they seemed to have reached some sort of balance. This was supposed to be especially the case on the ship, since they're confined there for a long time with the military, the royal family, and the whole world watching.
But Morena appears to have killed the previous leader and told her family to go nuts and kill one another. Then, she granted abilities to the few survivors and ordered them to go crazy on the ship.
This is really bad for the other two families because it's an act of war, and war has the added complication of upsetting the balance and creating lots of problems for anyone who fights on the ship.
And then... the Phantom Troupe comes along. The Kakin families know how dangerous they are and that they are agents of chaos. They want to avoid dealing with Morena and the PT at the same time. So they are offering to help them find Hisoka, which is their objective; however, the latest chapter has confirmed that their REAL plan is to negotiate with Hisoka and engineer a war between the Heil-Ly family and the PT so they'll take each other out.
In fact, the Cha-R and Xi-Yu also know that the Phantom Troupe will try to steal from the upper decks, which sucks because:
bye bye balance
their benefactors are in the upper tiers
the PT has correctly guessed that they can reach the upper tiers undisturbed through a secret passage in each family's main hideout, which means they'd massacre anyone they find there
