4.5/5
How is Togashi this good? I thought the man might've been rusty after so many years off but no, it's like the dude never left. The intricacies of this arc is insane, the level of  little details Togashi sprinkled throughout are now slowly but surely coming to fruition. We have the real succession battle on hold right now and as much as I wanna see the developments between Kurapika & all the princesses, this mini-arc with Hisoka, mafia, the troupe members is much more intriguing and will probably culminate into the climax of this ambitious yet grandiose arc.
Welp, Luini proved to be a quick fodder. Nobunaga is slick with his sword but his nen ability still remains a mystery. I was kinda disappointed ngl but his murderous swagger won me over nonetheless. Luini's ability is now up for grabs. Lot of He-li members re-introduced after they were first introduced way back and most of them will probably be fodder like their beheaded compatriot
Hisoka's watching "The Thing", how appropriate. Also, he's in theatre no. 8 which is the same spider number as Shizuku. Togashi, not the goth girl, please!! but anyways, Hisoka & Henrigh come face to face and let me tell you this, Henrigh is quickly climbing my top HxH characters list. He looks unhinged plus he's brutally honest & composed. No wonder, Hisoka took a liking to him or we think he has. Giving Hisoka a pass to tier 1 could prove too costly though, not only to the mafia but the whole ship. One can only imagine what would transpire after Hisoka encounters Kurapika or any of the princes especially Terror-Sandwich on the upper decks. Like, Hisoka said himself, He loves chaos and that's where the arc is probably heading if it isn't already. Even Henrigh wants to see a proper conclusion to the Hisoka & Troupe beef it seems, love to see it xD
Wang also looks threatening and I'd argue even more terrifying than preciously portrayed. His smile was precarious to say the least. He teams up with Henrigh and is now face to face with a He-liy member who was also introduced with those other Morena goons. His nen ability looks interesting as he supposedly erases the crooked guard. The duo mafia family are getting ever so close to Morena. There's definitely something huge happening with her and some of the major players of this arc soon...I can just feel it.
We're progressing faster than I expected but it feels natural. More of this please...
