^ True this. I think.

I doubt we'll see much of the Spiders any time soon. The nen-remover that the girl predicted was on Greed Island. But the problem with that was getting on the island by himself, the crew spotted the remover.

Kurapika at one point was probably the most badass mofo in anime history. So I think he'll make a grand entrance as soon as Gon is patched up...

Alluka is damned interesting, their whole family is actually. Pacing is actually alright as it has 19 pages which is quite good. BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH!

Killing the Spiders is the only thing Kurapika lives for. What's interesting, however, is that Gon et al were able to persuade him to show mercy to the leader of the Spiders, when he could have easily killed him. In essence, they persuaded Kurapika to abandon his only goal. After that encounter, there's no reason for Kurapika to continue hunting the Spiders. It would just be completely illogical.

That said, I'm sure they'll come into conflict sooner or later. He did kill two of their members and greatly inconvenience their leader. Even if he's decided to stop pursuing them, they won't stop pursuing him.

As for Kurapika and Leorio not being at Gon's bedside, that's a big mystery. I don't buy the idea that they haven't heard about what's going on -- look at all the other random hunters assembled. If they know what's going on, K and L must know, too. Even if they're in the most remote of locations, the Hunters Association has shown itself to be proficient in contacting all of its members (just look at the voting). So we can only assume they're in the know, but are going to make a very specific entrance. Maybe they'll help Killua deliver Alluka?

Hunter x Hunter is fucking crazy, makes no sense, and I love it (while bleach is crazy and makes no sense and I hate it). What is the purpose of having this big complicated election? What is the purpose for having the nen remover get rid of kurapika's ability on the lead spider (other than the obvious)? What's the purpose of giving Gon such a huge power, and introduce a new character just to remove the restriction?

Maybe it's different in the anime, maybe it was a translation thing, but i always thought that Kurapika let the spider leader live because it would do more damage to the spiders then if he just outright killed him.

Something like killing him would just have them promote a new leader whilst forcing him to never speak to the members would leave the group in confusion.


Not 100% sure though it has easily been 5 years since i saw the anime.

Good good chapter, one of the more engaging one right here.

Best part Ging: "Did he himself ever say "I want him to come"?"

And Leorio's ability :o Didn't he say he had the same type as Gon? Seems very different. But then iirc if Gon was better at the Jankenpow (or something like this) sciccors part he would be able to land a distant punch aswell, no? But then again Leo's looks like a portal punch but the manga didn't show us where he entered his fist in, only the blackhole where the fist came out from. It's really good tho. Also, Ging could've easily dodged it. But he has his reasons for not dodging it... Very fun chapter anyhow, really good.
