I'm on the fence with this chapter. On one hand I'm glad we didn't get the ridiculous amount of unnecessary dialogue we got last chapter, but on the otherhand, this shit came out of nowhere no build up whatsoever. Still hype for this battle nonetheless.
This is also the first I'm seeing Hisoka in manga form, he looks like a shitty JOJo character, absolutely disgusting! Also neither Hisoka nor chrollo will die in this battle, not because it's a battle to the death means it's going to actually happen, the battle will be interrupted or something.
If Togashi really kill off any of these two characters in this petty fight, then it simple means I overestimated him as a writer. This would be straight up bad writing if that's the case.
3.5/5
I fail to see how any of last chapter's dialogue was unnecessary, unless you're referring to some of the character bits earlier in the chapter. All of that expository info seemed more or less necessary to the plot going forward, so I don't think conciseness was an issue.
As for this chapter, while this fight might be petty to most, it's pretty much Hisoka's raison d'etre, which certainly doesn't make it petty for the purposes of the plot. I can understand people being jarred by the abruptness, but I have faith in Togashi's decision in deciding to kill off either of these fan favorites.
Christ, I'm starting to feel like a proper fanboy.

Then why didn't he use the bookmark against the Zoldycks? was he underestimating 2 of the strongest opponents? has he just now figured out that he can use a bookmark to have his hands free?
He may have developed it since that fight. I feel like we'll learn more as this fight progresses; we might not learn when he created that ability, but we're certain to learn what further limitations he has to deal with in using it, as it's sure to be key for Hisoka finding his opening.
