#hisoka DC arc where hes just following illumi and complaining about how much this sucks and how bored he is while theyre being mauled

my bets on the spiders being on the ship becomes common knowlege because of something during the procession for halkenburg, i feel like that wouldn't have been announced so ominously otherwise... mhhm actually kurapika finding out but then chosing to stay with oito and wobble to see things through could be a good step towards them moving away from their own downfall wich then also would make it intersting if as u say the treasure is likely up there and chrollo and kurapika can have their run in despite personal choices??? ahhhhh its all so

i do really wamt kurapika to survive, i still have togashi saying that the ending he likes the most would only have 10% of the readers satisfied hanging over my head bc thats such a??? what do you MEAN. & i cant imagine that this much dissatisfaction would mean anything but mayor character death of fan favorites but also its genuinely looking ... good for kurapika? 😭 And since idk if we are ever returning to gon and killua i think kurapika getting a similar ending as them, of maybe things are different and its harder now but you actually get to live and have family again would be very... sweet and fitting Which is also... an ending chrollo just cant have? like hes upset about all his friends dying, theres DEF more spiders dying here like he's not getting out of this hole..... this ships his coffin

and hisoka.. god same i have NO idea, the last two times he was this bored on screen was greed island where he joined the dodgeball game and then when he was voting where he let illumi order him around so i do feel like unless he finds someone to get excited abt there might actually be a chance he'll .... """"""help""""" whoever asks first I will say though, as much as i like him i actually wouldn't mind him dying, with his " love each other to death" confession and the fact that togashi really likes him too & will want to do him justice i think if he does die its gonna be like ..... unironically epic .... in one way or another

I WAS SO SHOCKED AT THE BONOLENOV REVEAL BUT IT'S SO GOOD. Like we KNEW Bonolenov had some way to disguise himself and everyone IGNOREDDDD ITTTTT because we were like "oh but if that's not Hisoka, it has to be Chrollo right" NO. IT'S NOT THE FAN FAVE CHARACTER. SO FUNNY. I love it. I love Bonolenov now. His ability is really cool and I like the way he thinks. On the OTHER hand his KILLED LYNCH!!! Fuck!!! I liked her!!!

Honestly the part of this chapter that gets me the most though is Chrollo. Everyone in the troupe knows that Chrollo is just pretending to be okay! Everyone is trying to look out for him! He kept Pakunoda's spot open because of how much he cared for her... he's devastated by the deaths of Shalnark and Kortopi the same way he was devastated over Uvo... It's an interesting angle to take with Chrollo, to focus on how his troupe react to his grief and rage by trying to PROTECT him. Someone on twitter pointed out that this is the same thing Gon and Killua did for Kurapika! They didn't want Kurapika to kill more people during Yorknew!!! And while it's not EXACTLY the same with Chrollo, it's definitely notable that they want to kill Hisoka first specifically because they understand what Chrollo is going through, as opposed to letting him do it and purposefully pointing him towards it.

At this point I hope that Chrollo and Hisoka don't have a rematch. It would be better for Chrollo's character to lose that chance for revenge and have to face those feelings, though I'm not sure about what should happen with Hisoka.

And of course, Chrollo wants to find a "treasure" that can 100% kill Hisoka, and I wonder if that's connected to the succession war. I mean... it's gotta be, right?
