HxH Uvogin Death Foreshadowing (???)

I actually wanted to make a different post today but PLANS CHANGED DRASTICALLY WHEN I WAS JUST WATCHING SOME HXH YORKNEW CITY EPISODES- I originally wanted to just listen to something while doing my boring paperwork- BUT I FF NOTICED SOMETHING

(sry for the german but I had no other screenshot rn) This is what happens in Episode 43. Nothing new, I know. Bro summons his lil guys and gets killed. bUt MaSaK, wHaT iS sO sPeCiAl AbOuT tHiS nOw? HEAR ME THE FUCK OUT- U see the name of the ability?? LOOK AT IT. LOOK.

"the eleven from the [...]" bro's ability is to summon ELEVEN of these cute guys. as we all know these boyos get killed by Franklins gunfire. Plus bro himself dies. RIP there btw-

bUt MaSaK- NO HEAR ME OUT you know who I think of first whenever I see/hear the number ELEVEN? YEAH U GUESSED IT. UVOGIN. cuz 11 is his number. No shit sherlock. AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS TO UVO. Yes. HE FUCKING DIES. (sry for putting salt in the wound here rn) BUT THINK ABOUT IT- And that's not all.

When the bro dies, his last words are: "Guys flee! And tell the Boss-" and then he dies.

So what I wanna say with this now, this guy died by protecting his people (at least he tried, okay). He sacrificed himself for the rest of the group. Uvo literally did the same. THEY HAVE A DAMN SIMILAR DEATH.

ALSO, there's more :) 3 of the bodyguards died during this. And now use your memory system to remember how many legs the spider lost in the yorknew city arc. Yes 3. Uvogin, Pakunoda and Hisoka. I know Hisoka didn't die and he never really was part of the troupe, like the others. But an empty place is an empty place.

I obviously can only say this as a theory. Idk if this was intended by Togashi at all. BUT IF IT WAS- THEN OMG- THEN THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST FORESHADOWINGS I EVER SAW. IT'S BEEN OVER 4 YEARS SINCE I WATCHED THIS ANIME AND I AM REALIZING THIS NOW.

In addition,

when Feitan killed the one Mafia dude who didn't die with the others that Franklin killed, the guy says somethig like "we gonna hunt you down and kill you and your family" Feitan being Feitan just laughed it off. But Feitan ff jinxed it.

Live Uvo reaction when he finds out Feitan jinxed it all from the beginning-

Thinking about the way Chrollo represents apathy and passion.

When I first saw him,he gave the impression of someone who is both very serious about his occupation and on some kind of mission,and someone who just lets things happen.

The reason he seemed so enigmatic compared to other troupe members is because we couldn’t grasp what he actually values, besides obviously the spider.This whole line of his about not caring for money,glory or fame.The fact that he sells the loot soon after stealing it.

It doesn’t make sense for a thief to be this indifferent towards the treasures he steals.And while the troupe risked their lives trying to steal from the auction,when things went wrong the loot was the last thing they considered.I always wondered what happened to all the boxes at their hideout.I hope they didn’t just leave it there??But it was never the main focus,

I think he occasionally finds something that fascinates him,just to discard it afterwards.It’s almost like he tries very hard to,excuse me, “fill the emptiness inside him”,with material possessions but is painfully aware that it’s not possible.The troupe are primarily known as thieves but it seems obtaining stuff can’t be that satisfying,at least not to Chrollo. Even if he tells everyone to “just steal” in his character song.

The scarlet eyes might’ve caught his attention at some point but again,he’s very dismissive of the whole kurta theme even when Kurapika demands some response.

So I don’t believe it’s greed that drives him.In fact,he doesn’t know what drives him.

And the reason he’s able to commit all those horrible deeds is because of his disconnection with PEOPLE. Being the leader,he’s somewhat set apart from the rest of the spiders.And there are rules that put the good of the organisation before the well-being of the members.That’s supposed to prevent members from caring as much for one another.Which is tragic.

It all only started because they all cared.

How are characters humanised in hunter x hunter? Trough forming bonds with other characters.

Killua and meruem are excellent examples.Both of them grew to care more about humans in general trough meeting a particular person.

Chrollo lost someone important and that very personal grief lead him to stop caring about human lives.Not just his own,but the ones of his fellow troupe members.

Obviously it didn’t work and they still feel very strongly for each other.The whole yorknew arc focuses on those repressed feelings of camaraderie that aren’t allowed to be experienced fully as that would interfere with the Spider.Pakunoda has to break the rules if she wants to save the life of her friend.

Chrollo can’t do that because the Spider with its rules is all he has.He’s very good at “severing ties” with things like living a save life,the authorities,possibly religion,connections with other people,seeing dead bodies as something to be respected and not as objects.He’s willing to give up everything that made him who he was,but what does he have in turn? Nothing.

The Spider needs to have a purpose but it seems that purpose is lost.Chrollo is lost,all his sacrifices lead to nothing.

He doesn’t even feel hate or anger at the world.He rarely takes things personally.

I think there was some revenge based reason for murdering the kurta clan.The troupe seem like they’d have some reason,even tho it could never be good enough.

But my thesis is that Chrollo’s biggest sin isn’t greed,pride,anger or whatever.It’s apathy.

Nothing prevents him from hurting people who have nothing to do with him,therefore he does.

He’s afraid that things will start mattering again,but at the same time we see him constantly searching for that something.He is scared of it,but he really strives to strive for something so that he can break out of this indifference he feels for everything.

So maybe Hisoka will awake some of this rage buried inside and with it make Chrollo once again seem like a very distressed human.
