Hunter x Hunter Chapter 353 Discussion

This fight reminds me of Knuckle vs Youpi. Very strategic, Kuroro using the crowd, hit and run away tactics like Knuckle during his fight with Youpi. And then Hisoka opened his guards on purpose so he can get an opportunity to counter exactly like Youpi did.

Last week I see death flag on Hisoka, and now I see death flag on Kuroro. What if both of them die? hahaaa....

By far the best chapter since the return. It's like Togashi remembered the high quality masterfully executed fights he put out back in the HA/Yorknew days. No exaggerated but occasionally charming psychological tangents, no more overly complex walls of text for things that could easily be shortened, just two sociopaths having a death match with an entire arena of people as their arsenal. I genuinely don't know who to root for, both sides managed to equally impress me almost every time I turned the page lmao.



Yeah, exactly, seriously, it's so much better like that. Way more dynamic and engaging.

Can we get to the conclusion of this already? pretty boring fight.



3/5

This is how HxH handle fights if you don't like it go watch NarutoHe is right. Is this the fight you were expecting from the 2 major villains of HxH? Not me. I hope they will show something better in future chapter but for now is cheesy.

I have 3 problems with this fight:

- The fact there was no proper build up is really starting to show, you really don't feel that "someone's going to die/Something's major gonna happen" vibe from this. I think it lacks that little something that will increase the tension of the fight and thus it is not as engaging as it could be.

- So far, it's way too one sided, with Chrollo completely controlling the fight, which is not something that anyone want to see when 2 top tiers are fighting.  But it's probably gonna change soon.

- 3 chapters and nothing that looks like a critical hit... The one at the end of the chapters might be it, but because of Hisoka's masochism (which is pretty cool), you can't really feel it.

If it had been Irumi instead of Kuroro, Hisoka would've been dead a long time ago, He'd have used his needle on him the first time Kuroro landed a hit.

I wonder how the fight will end.

Chrollo is extremely too OP.

Hisoka for the first time comes close to death.

Chrollo is really ready for  anything Hisoka tries to do.

Hisoka still enjoys himself a lot.

I believe Hisoka has not shown full of his power/techniques, and he can still win ( i guess)

I hope none of them dies too soon. The story will be more interesting if they both live somehow.

I thought Chrollo was going to affix Sun on Hisoka when he landed a hit, and Moon onto people from the audience. Can he even do that? If he could, Hisoka would've suffered significant damage.



hmm son and moon need his both hands , so he cant use it while open his book

and if close book he cant use puppets

If i judge by the expressions hisoka made on the last panel, he won the battle.

Not the best fight i have seen.

Damn Hisoka, back at it again with the based SCHWIIINNNNNG ! Nice chapter, but I do agree that it's dragging and quite standard for such a hyped encounter. Art was pretty decent, don't quite get the complaining about it.



Our pervy clown gets the shit beaten out of him this time, but I actually feel confident for him about the follow up. That last panel where he manages to hit Chrollo (pretty hard from what it looks like) and all those gasms moments show just how much he's enjoying himself and still in control to an extent. Also don't forget that Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber AND gum. Hell he might've taken out Chrollo's arm and crippled his hit&run book strategy. Wouldn't be surprising with Togashi's arm fetish.
