and holy shit Shalnark and Kortopi died without even a good fight because their nen abilities are stolen by Chrollo

ye but looks like Hisoka did not give them any chances or time anyway lol



RIP to those 2

It seems there are some misunderstandings.



First, it wasn't a vow like Gon's.



It wasn't granted to him; Hisoka did die, but died with a great wish to live. So on the brink of death he prays to his bungee gum to become stronger through death and massage his heart and lungs. He just had that strong wish and gave that command to his nen. But that was just a huge bet if his wish weren't great enough, or he wasn't in a condition to get revived through heart massage he would still be dead.



It's totally conforming with the way nen stronger through death works in the series, that's why he didn't got any drawbacks. He was just smart to use his own nen to revive himself.



Second, he didn't get healed.



He just put a "makeup" to his injuries with his Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise like he always did in the manga. He really never "recreated" a limb before, but remember that his nen got stronger so he has better control of his Bungee Gum now.

@BladersDeath ^I'm excited to see Feitan vs. Hisoka. Damn, that's going to be something.



Too bad Feitans Pain Packer can't hold a candle to Bungee gum which possesses the properties of both rubber and gum, which can also bring him back to life thanks to both of those properties.

Hisoka died from suffocation.

If his brain is destroyed, he won't come back.

Oh, Hisoka is awesome. The best character ever :D I look forward to a next chapter. I hope that we will see Gon again after a long time.

Sure, the timeframe between the explosion and the Nen CPR is the biggest source of disbelief, but imo for a story that revolves around a powerful magic system, this kind of scientific inaccuracy really isn't anything to be upset about (3 minutes vs. 30 minutes, it's just a detail). Togashi could have revived him right after the explosion, and Hisoka could have probably escaped in all that chaos, and still kill Shalnark and Kortopi afterwards. It would not have impacted the story in any major way, but it would have probably been more confusing for the reader.

I hope this will turn into a fight where they both have to face some monsters from the DC while fighting each other. This would be awesome!



Feitan fought the fake queen, who could be classified as a rank A monster from the DC, so the S-rank monsters will give all of the participants a hard time.

I love how seemingly only plot armored characters know of this nen becoming stronger after death, because seems like no one else is able to use it in any way. But when a main character needs to ass pull some power, let's go bro, let's put conditions and shit because fucking every other character.



Funny because all other characters died, hence the after death name.

It's basically nen being lead by one lingering emotion, same way a ghost might haunt someone. The emotion leads the remaining of the unconcious nen into doing one last thing.

Machi was <3 as usual :3



Machi felt totally out of character though.



Well I do kinda agree but we honestly don't know that much about her and how her relationship with Hisoka works. I feel like there's always been more to those 2.



I can see this chp going down as one of the most controversial chps along with Gon vs Pitou and how fans reacted to that



Well during the Yorknew arc PT members said Hisoka was Machi's responsibility, and he interacts with her the most. Still her reactions were weird af in this chapter.



Yup it's almost sealed, every hxh forum is burning rn, not to say abt 4chan threads.
