Hunter x Hunter Chapter 352 Discussion

Shit Hisoka is outclassed. Togashi plz don't kill my nigga!

Hisoka is Angry

Hisoka in a trouble

Hisoka is gonna fight seriously



This is so much to handle :D

Something is weird about the battle: why is the audience not panicking? People don't care about becoming living shields for Chrollo?

Like someone pointed out before, it also crossed my mind that Chrollo explaining his abilities are necessary to activate the bookmark. He can't be so sure against Hisoka, after all.

We have already seen him using two abilities of the phantom troupe members, does this mean he acquired more? That should be interesting to see.

And finally, why Hisoka is in such a defence state. I mean, yes he has a strategic mind and Chrollo is surprisingly stronger but he better be hiding something or he won't be so lucky. But I think Togashi is gonna surprise us and Hisoka gonna show some new techniques.

Chrollo is stupidly overpowered. Sigh.



That was a horribly long explanation of his abilities too. WTF.

The first half was just boring but the final was really good 4/5 i hope that improve

I just want to see this fight end already and have the story go back to Kurapika & the dark continent, or at least see Chrollo & Hisoka be involved in that arc because all this is kinda coming out of nowhere..



And what's up with Chrollo having all those phantom troupe abilities? Is that going to be explained later? I want to know what happened to them :(

Remember Kastro with Doppelganger ability who last faced Hisoka at the Heavens Arena? Hisoka let Kastro take his right arm before becoming serious, Machi even said that he could've ended the fight without going so far but Hisoka wanted to make a show. Machi probably informed Chrollo about Hisoka's fight.



"Chrollo: This isn't just any old regular deathmatch.. what's important here is style, right? I dare say it's even more important than victory or defeat."



Chrollo fucking knows, Hisoka loves to make a show and will let him blabber on to fulfill his bookmark conditions.

The bookmark conditions are probably based on his original ability.



* Let the enemy see the nen ability with their own eyes

* Talk about my own nen ability, and obtain responses

* Get into physical contact with the enemy's body

(It doesn't make sense to go stomping on an enemy who can affix bungee gum upon hitting you otherwise.)

* Complete first 3 conditions within an hour



Chrollo probably watched a recording of that fight with Kastro and then picked a combination of abilities to optimize the copy-clone/disguise nen ability against Hisoka. To defeat your enemy, you must know him.



Shalnark's manipulation and Korutopi's materialization is adjacent to specialization on the Nen chart too, so Chrollo has 80% efficiency in contrast with Kastro reinforcement type 40% efficiency with manipulation and materialization.



Korutopi's materialization can make up to 50 buildings, imagine if Chrollo made 50 human puppet bombs to surround Hisoka as a distraction before finally implanting a Black Voice antenna. Chrollo can also set puppets to explode once decapitated easily via Sun & Moon. Copies remaining until Gallery Fake is released could be somehow used to trigger explosions too.



It'll be interesting to see Hisoka's trump cards Deceitful Texture and Bungee Gum used in ways we can't even imagine yet. Probably will affect Chrollo's Skill Hunter book. Hisoka will probably try to massacre the crowd to negate the ability of convert hands, only to have those corpses copied and turned into puppets to be used against him. Hisoka dying would definitely count as one of the top 3 shocking moments stated by Togashi's editor.



Lastly let's not forget about Kurapika's Nen Beast conjured by Abengane to exorcise Judgement Chain placed on Chrollo... I wonder what it looks like.
