Hunter x Hunter Chapter 356 Discussion

From the last stance Hisoka is taking (arms crossed), he is definitively preparing something. Chrollo is playing very safe though, by now he probably analyzed all of Hisoka's moves and knows his limits, I am sure he knows Hisoka would be dangerous when pushed into a corner. That s why I think Hisoka's last move better be incredible or else it ll be wasted on puppets.

Also, anybody else thinks Kurapika will show up in next chapter? ;)

i am still shocked at just what little regard those two have for the audience. granted its the underground and everyone probably signed a waiver but still. the tone almost rivals that of the chimera arc in terms of the darkness.



Lool that's hilarious! it looks childish tbh, it's not really dark when their heads are being pop off like dolls with not one drop of blood. Lol this is pretty tame if anything.



You're technically right in saying the tone is dark, interms of what the two characters are doing to the audience, but visually its PG 13 at best.



i didn't mean visually. i mean morally and psychologically. i am not really sure the audience members knew to what extent the danger was, most of them probably never imagined they would be used as tools like that and killed in the process.

Just let the last Arc be a Phatom troupe and I'll be okay with that or just them fighting some ultimate being in the DC with all Three Freccess fighting itEh, I want the last arc to be an epic grand finale with all the four main characters together. Everything else will be good automatically if Gon, Leorio, Killua and Kurapika are all in one arc. :D

bye bye Hisoka, and some people said this chapter is released on Hisoka's birthday too

but come on , Chrollo is so over powered here , and what if this fight in the past? because Hisoka don't have that numbers ability

Do you mean that texture thing?



And yeah Chrollo is OP in this fight. One of the reasons why I find it disappointing, it's too one sided. Maybe that's the perfect setup for Hisoka to win with one attack, after all of that, heh.

It's been 350+ chapters and Togashi never employed a DEM, if Hisoka survives this, it's gonna be through an explanation, which isn't very hard to do. DEM would have only  been needed if we'd seen him get torn to pieces.



I could be wrong, but I think deus ex machina doesn't cease to be so just because there's an explanation given. The definition is: "a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the inspired and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object." That applies to lots of stuff in HxH.



And superhumans out-running an explosion blast is hardly a "seemingly unsolvable problem" in this context. Shoot and Knuckle did that a dozen times during their fight against Youpi. They are hypersonic, even if not invincible. This means that while the explosions are still a scary thing, doesn't mean they're unescapable.
