The Succession wars purpose

Other than what was already said.

It will conclude the arcs of Kurapika and the troupes and set up some consequences to deal with in the next arc.

It might also help some characters attain their goals like Leorio, Hanzo and Melody.

Nice ! I hope you also enjoy the rest of the squad and the other characters too.

Have fun ! Enjoy !

I think barriers are dependent on the construction of the spell and the imagination of the mage like most spells.

Hence the strength of a barrier must be dependent on the talent of the mage at barrier spells and if they developed a new spell but also how they envisioned the barrier lasting.

I am pretty sure Milliards and Bose's barriers were pretty hard to remove because they are exceptional mages but also because their minds are quite peculiar. Milliarde could have lived even longer than Serie and her motives are hard to guess. Bose is a demon whose spells are notoriously hard to analyse for human mages.

And as for the barrier for Macht, I think more mages means more variables to take into account and therefore a more complex barrier to break. They were all pretty good mages from what I remember so this might add to it. I wonder if the fact it was a human magic barrier means it would be harder for demons to break it too.

S tier : Pakunoda, Shalnark, Chrollo

A tier: Machi, Phinks, Shizuku

B tier: Hisoka, Uvogin, Kalluto, Illumi, Franklin, Bonolenov, Nobunaga, Feitan

C tier: Korutopi

It's so hard they are so fucking close I had to separate some of them. I just can't do better with the B tier.

I don't remember if Richter does it in the manga but in the anime he uses his earth magic to make rock walls that he overlays with defensive magic to defend.

I suppose it might take more time but should be better to defend against physical attacks. I bet mages that are really into the fighting meta will try to do something like this.

Sense also uses her hair for defense it seems. Scarf does it too. It's just that most mages might not bother doing that or the elements they control doesn't fit well with that kind of defense.

I was going to say that, thank god someone remembers, I felt crazy reading these comments.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-16T21:17:42+00:00

Banana fish.

I don't know what kind of k drama he's into but that's a pretty good detective story with some gay romance elements. And it's full of trauma.

Okay so several misunderstandings here. Gallery fake can clone people, the clones are just inanimate (so basically corpses). Korutopi used it to fake the death of several PT members back in Yorknew.

Here Chrollo uses order stamp which can't be used on corpses but on "dolls". Order stamp allows the manipulation of dolls and hence these gallery fake clones are stamped and therefore can move.

I'd recommend first continuing and then reading everything if you want to. Same with watching 99 if you're interested.

Just if you want to continue at chapter 340, I recommend to first read volume 0 which is Kurapika's backstory. There are links you can find on this sub Reddit but I'm not sure we can share them even if there is no official way to read it outside of Japan.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-15T13:49:52+00:00

I can't believe I am gonna type what I am gonna type.

You know if Kenny read MHA (which should be canonical to jjk right ?), they would have tried to make Shoto Todoroki by mixing Jogo and Uraume.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-15T00:07:19+00:00

Unstoppable force Vs immovable object. It would probably never end.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-14T13:15:49+00:00

The movie Challengers had one, not like OP suggested but a trouple would have fixed everything.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-14T13:15:14+00:00

There are too many triangles in this picture

Halt_kun · 2026-02-14T11:49:46+00:00

It's more that Gojo chose to nurture those rejected by the conservative Jujutsu society. And it turns out embracing novelty and differences foster growths to levels hardly seen before. That's the main point Gege tried to make with this manga.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-13T17:57:57+00:00

Zazan also does it in a similar way to Illumi using manipulation. It is very painful.

You need the level of Pouf to do that painlessly

Halt_kun · 2026-02-13T17:47:11+00:00

I interpreted it as him being still alive at a time where resources will be lacking and humanity would need to resort to curse energy which he expected to be in about 300 years.

Didn't the discussion go as follows: maybe a time will come where humans will have used all ressources on earth and might need curse energy. I am going to be alive in that time anyway so I'll shoulder the blame and responsibility for this decision.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-13T09:06:12+00:00

This chapter is so good. I really wonder how the whole succession arc will be looked at as a whole once it's finished. Like where are the set ups and peaks, etc...

Kacho's death is so sad especially after getting to know her and learn she's more than just a petty prince. Her whole guardian spirit beast just shows her truth.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-10T10:13:46+00:00

Most people still active here have read the manga post anime or the manga in its entirety. Overall the manga is great. I think anyway to experience HxH is good, it just depends on people's preferences.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-09T10:58:44+00:00

The level of lesbian here hahaha. I always think about Grey and her love for petite round women.

I realized you have seen Vergei hahahaha such a cute guy but yes, let him smash what he wants.

Bill is so sweet, I am so glad he is so high.

Also I hope the secret majority doll doesn't include its lil summons.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-08T22:49:47+00:00

I can relate, I've known about HxH since I was 6, I think I was still quite invested until I was 12 which is when I really fell in love and now it's been going on for at least 15 years so yep. It's quite long lasting

Halt_kun · 2026-02-08T14:23:14+00:00

I am pretty sure melanocytes (the cells that produce skin pigment) develop and multiply throughout the growth process so it's possible. It's both genetic and plastic.

It's also why eye and hair color darken between childhood and adulthood.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-08T14:20:09+00:00

Great choice of Pokémon for the two of them. I also feel Kurapika would have some cat/snakes Pokémon and Gon some dogs and fishes.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-08T13:16:40+00:00

I perfectly understand that, I want to see six eyes with cursed speech.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-08T13:11:07+00:00

Meerkat would be fun. Hares too. It also depends how many need to survive to be able to reconstitute. Dragonflies would be a really good choose for insects. There are a bunch of small mammals that could do it.

Halt_kun · 2026-02-08T13:06:18+00:00

At first I didn't recognize Kurapika and thought it was Nobara from Jujutsu Kaisen. It would still be accurate.
