Hunter x Hunter Chapter 351 Discussion

Wow. If they don't connect this to the DC arc in any way, and Togashi doesn't go on hiatus in the middle of this fight, they can easily use the chapters that covered this fight to make the anime return in some kind of mini-OVA form. Everyone knows Chrollo and Hisoka, both of their Nen abilities, the Heavens Arena. It's perfect for manga and non-manga readers alike. No spoilers for the current arc at all. It's just a tying up of one of the general loose ends of this manga. A decade-long loose end that probably everyone who reads/watches HxH have been waiting for.

the weird nen creature doesnt follow chrollo it stays on the nen remover until kurapika takes off the judgment chain.



To me that wouldn't make any sense, of course the nen beast should stay with the person being exorcized (unfortunately in GI the eraser and the exorcized were the same person, coincidentally), otherwise there would be no motivation for them to fulfill the original condition to remove the nen. In other words, I'd imagine Abengane would get screwed really often by unscrupulous people if the nen beasts stayed only with him.

Chrollo got back his Nen pretty early in the Chimera ant arc and Hina had nothing to do with it because she was on the road to Meteor City at the very end of the Chimera ant arc.



Cover page from chapter 201 is titled REUNITED http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/hunterxhunter/images/6/6d/Reunion.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130606041038



1) That page doesn't ensure the removal by Abengane was successful, it could merely be a tease. Kurapika was not shown/hinted realizing that his chain was removed at that point, nor in the CA arc. So, with all the clues we have, we can't be certain the exact time the nen removal took place. Also, consider that in order to remove Kurapika's nen and make the nen beast go away the original conditions have to be met, the problem is Kurapika never offered any condition besides avoiding the ryodan and not using nen for like EVER. So... if I were Chrollo, Abengane's ability wouldn't be the wisest choice for a nen removal.

2) Hina's removal doesn't create a nen beast and she *coincidentally* travels to meteor city...

   - before the election arc

   - way before it is hinted that Chrollo's nen was removed (when Kurapika was in a bad mood).

If she met the spiders at meteor city, it wouldn't have taken long for them to arrange an exorcism at the beginning of the election arc. Furthermore, Chrollo mentions in this chapter that he basically accepted the match not because Hisoka helped him, but he was tired of running away. So, it could be that Hisoka's help during GI was of no use after all.



This is of course assuming that Abengane's nen beast stays with the person being exorcized. There's also the possibility of a third nen eraser (not yet mentioned).



2) Hina could'nt have been the one to exorcise Chrollo, she arrives at the very end of the chimera ant arc, did she even make it? did she even meet the phantom troupe? who knows.

In the beginning of the election arc, Illumi states that Hisoka has been playing tag with Chrollo while the events of the chimera ant arc were happening



Dang it, you're right, I totally forgot that they were playing tag during the chimera arc. I guess Abengane is still carrying a nen beast as of now XDD.

I cant imagine the show with either of them being dead... But I'm having the feeling that Chrollo might die off

Actually now that I think about it, this chapter is the opener for volume 34. In that case it isn't much different than when Vol. 21 ended with Gon making Morel shit himself+the palace invasion plan being set off and Vol. 22 opening with the Phantom Troupe's raid on Zazan's base.



Which basically means all the set-up for the Dark Continent should be over with and can get to the main meat of the arc once this fight is done. Yatta

was Kurapika mad because hes nen was removed or Hisoka killed Chrollo? it feels to me like this battle happened in the past and that was Kurapika's reaction after hearing about it



when Kurapika was talking about the eventuality of his nen being removed it was almost like he expected it sooner or later, i think he would be more mad if Chrollo was killed by Hisoka and not himself

I thought that was illumis needle at first lol



I see three outcomes that could happen from this showdown.



1. Chrollo controls Hisoka into his bidding and afterwards kills him. Chrollo may not lose this fight because maybe he used his future seeing ability and saw victory. Maybe thats why he kept running because he didn't see victory yet.



2. Chrollo dies. He said himself that one member getting killed off would never end the Troupe. So Chrollo getting killed off is plausible. @Dangerr said it best about pika being done with the troupe but what about the troupe with him? Is Chrollo okay with letting pika off the hook? Maybe Gyro takes over as new trope leader lol



3. Stalemate. This is the worst outcome(at least for me :P need to see someone DIE!! JUST BLEED!!!). Interruption or intervention of some sort leading to a big cuck.

IIRC he falsified it after he received it. So Chrollo's prediction was accurate and he did get Hisoka's infos, it's just that our national clown spread some poetic made up bullshit onto it afterwards when they asked to see it.

Either way, that would mean Hisoka also saw the slip; he essentially knows what Chrollo knows. If that prediction factors into the outcome of this fight at all, Hisoka could take steps to avoid an outcome as much as Chrollo could try enforcing that it happen.

@Dangerr my bad I meant Kurapika. Well,  no point in arguing, it comes down to preference I guess?
