It's really sweet seeing the Phantom Troupe's early origins together as kids, it just makes it even sadder to know what they become. Even the fact that we're getting this flashback now makes me feel like this arc will see the end of the Phantom Troupe.
So Pakunoda came up with the the "Troupe" part of the name, huh? And they originally started out as voice actors dubbing over lines from episodes of a TV show for fun. Lol at Machi only wanting to be a baddie and refused to be the princess and told Uvogin to play the princess.
I finally made it. I've been rereading HxH for over a month and just today read all the recent chapters. Seeing Chrollo and others in the past definitely brought a tear to my eye. Cant wait for more
