We reached cruise pace. The setup is officially over with that chapter, and the crazy levels of messed-up-fuckness we've grown to enjoy during both Yorshin and Chimera arcs are back.
This chapter was a solid 5/5: we've got plot progression, clarification of the whole succession war (especially on the restrictions of such a crazy nen ritual), and most importantly we've got a glimpse of the horrors lying ahead of us: this was most likely the equivalent of Kite's death during the Chimera Ant arc: the heroes aren't going to be able to save everyone, and the harsh reality may prove itself even harsher on all the characters than what we first thought when we joined this trip to the Dark Continent...
I expect only Melody to discover the truth about Kachou. But nonetheless "both" sisters will come back to tell the Hunters about the death restriction of the whole ceremony.
There's only two ways out: making it to the end of the war, or dying... There's a very dark parallel line that can be drawn to Togashi's statement about Hxh finishing or him dying before. I hope that was not intended, I got my share of darkness for the day @-@
