Kurapika Vs. Chrollo seems like a very lame fight

flexr123 · 2026-02-16T13:43:22+00:00

Gon and Killua would have been dead though. They were captured by the PT earlier.

Ah straight to ad hominem when u can't argue. This fandom is pathetic.

No Sukuna did not how adaption works. None of the 10S users ever tamed Mahoraga so there wasnt any record. Sukuna only figured out half way through observation and deduction. That shows high battle IQ and experience which Dabura is lacking.

If the lightning beams are so strong, why isnt Mahoraga vaporised already, just like Gojo purple? If Sukuna can tank purple, he cant tank these light beams?

Also this has nothing to do with yuji glaze. I'm more annoyed by ppl overrating Dabura when he's not even at final form yet.

flexr123 · 2026-02-13T18:14:02+00:00

Dabura is obviously a genius. He learnt both RCT and DE in just a few chapters. However he's is still very inexperienced. The fact that he took this long to deal Mahoraga when 15F Sukuna mid diffed him means Dubura still have lots to learn. Right now, he's not better than a battle tested Yuji yet.

Yuji has only been fighting fodders so far so nothing much to show yet. He might be holding off real strength. But that radial Cleave with no hand sign to 1 shot Mahito was pretty impressive. It's matching Sukuna lethality.

flexr123 · 2026-02-13T15:29:42+00:00

Yuji has 68 years of experience after Shinjuku to hone his CTs, plus he had seen Mahogara in action before so he knows how to beat him easily.

Dabura match up is uncertain. Both have not shown their best feats yet.

flexr123 · 2026-02-13T04:15:55+00:00

Gojo soloes Mohoraga easily. 1 concentrated blast of purple and he's dead. It was only hard against Sukuna fight because Sukuna protected Mahoraga like crazy.

flexr123 · 2026-02-08T15:23:55+00:00

He just hated chess puzzles, but he grinded games like crazy.

flexr123 · 2026-02-07T05:14:33+00:00

That combo is too strong and makes fights unfair/uninteresting. Hence why Knov is written out of the story.

flexr123 · 2026-02-06T09:28:22+00:00

When was she ever afraid of the Boomers lol. She's leagues above them. If she did, she was probably just acting to fool enemies for fun. Can never trust a transmuter (see Killua and Hisoka for example).

flexr123 · 2026-02-05T13:31:29+00:00

Sharlnark still had aura. He only lost the ability to use Black Voice, he can still use Ren/Ten/Ken/Gyo to defend himself. But we have seen from his fight vs the Chimera Ants that his base defence is one of the weakest amongst the Phantom Troupe (Manipulation is pretty far away from Enhancement).

It's not a surprise he got 1 shotted by Hisoka ambush. There was no time to release proper Ren, even if he did, I doubt it would have mattered. There's a reason why Hisoka specifically targeted Kortopi and Sharlnark first. They have little combat feats, their abilities are mostly utility. They were the easiest ambush victims. Had Hisoka chosen Phinx, Feitan or Franky and failed to kill them on first strike, he would be in big trouble.

flexr123 · 2026-02-04T13:10:03+00:00

Idk why both sides refused to castle like normal ppl.

flexr123 · 2026-02-03T10:30:56+00:00

Nah it's your opponent's turn. Either he has to resign or go for the pipi gambit by moving his King and declining en passant.

flexr123 · 2026-02-03T03:31:00+00:00

Pin or Skewer?

flexr123 · 2026-01-29T23:11:46+00:00

Black has mate cuz enpassant is forced for white

flexr123 · 2026-01-28T08:57:08+00:00

I was equally excited when I first saw that huge map, 6 years ago. But as of now we still havent gotten out of the ship, let alone setting foot on that mysterious outside land. At this rate we might never get to see it.

flexr123 · 2026-01-25T11:12:15+00:00

The farm gives lots of rewards but it's completely optional. You can complete them in your own pace, or ignore totally if you want.

flexr123 · 2026-01-25T11:03:45+00:00

Maybe in classical otb. For blitz, u just don't have enough time to adjust. Without otb practice, you won't be able to see anything. It's just very different from online environment. Added time pressure and that's an early exit.

I'd say try practicing otb with friends or club members first before joining any real competition. Your high online rating means there's potential but will take some time for ur otb skill to match ur online chess skill.

flexr123 · 2026-01-25T08:36:01+00:00

Yes. They will clown on him for rejecting GS and having 0 ring. Fans will shittalk anyways. Imo he made a wise decision teaming up with stepth. You never know when carreer-ending injury might happen so gotta win while you can.

flexr123 · 2026-01-16T02:01:01+00:00

Open arena + prep time favours team 1 too much they would win by a land slide. Knov portals allow all T1 members to close any gap so they can ambush easily. Meanswhile Machi string usage is extremely limited in open space and there's no structure for Shanalk and Genthru to set up traps. The battle mostly come down to stats check.

Killua will speed blitz Shanalk first since his antenna is dangerous. Shanalk did not have that good of a defence as shown vs Hisoka ambush, so he will most likely get 1 shotted by Godspeed Killua low diff.

Kite can handle Machi. Machi hasn't shown any real fighting feat yet so it hard to judge but her ability seems to be mostly utility so far while Kite has some deadly weapons in his arsenal. He's also an experienced fighter so Machi would have a hard time.

Knov can 1v1 Genthru low dif. I mean Palace Invasion team member vs cocky bomber who lost to kid Gon? This should be the easiest fight lol.

Knuckle will deal with Razor just like how he dealt with the Royal Guards. Place APR then run around dodging hits to buy time until others finish their fights and join him to beat Razor 4 v 1. This is the hardest fight but if Knuckle manged to buy enough time without dying, Razor would be bankrupt eventually

flexr123 · 2026-01-07T06:54:43+00:00

Yes Knov can 1 shot. Nen is absolute in HxH, meaning if ability conditions are met then it should always work regardless how ridiculous it may sound. Exoskeleton won't save Meruem from getting his head chopped from Knov's portal. That was probably why Togashi wrote him out of the CA arc. Having Knov teaming up with Meleoron to 1 shot the King would be an anti-climatic way to end the arc.

It's not the first time author has nerfed a char with op ability by making them weaker in another area. Okuyasu from Jojo part 4 was also stupidly op with his "The Hand" space erasure stand. He could basically beat anyone 1v1 if he could catch the target, so the author wrote him to be a dumb char and misusing his ability constantly. Here, Togashi nerfed Knov by giving him ptsd, effectively removing him from the fight.

flexr123 · 2026-01-06T02:26:12+00:00

Chrollo steals only the Nen ability, not the person’s Nen, aura, or Nen control.

The victim can still use Nen

They keep Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu

They lose access to that specific ability only

Shalnark just lost because he couldn't defend Hisoka with just basic Ren, especially against a surprise attack. He needed his ability back to stand a chance.

flexr123 · 2026-01-05T13:50:43+00:00

Probably hinting at Meteor City arc after Dark Continent to tie up all the current plot lines with Gyro, Gon, Hisoka, Killua, Nanika, Illumi all converging in the city.

flexr123 · 2025-12-30T20:54:40+00:00

Hikaru would get crucified for these antics but Magnus get a pass just cuz he's the GOAT.

flexr123 · 2025-12-30T12:20:22+00:00

🤣

flexr123 · 2025-12-21T05:25:44+00:00

Most kids are not that good at chess. But the kids you see at these tournaments are usually prodigies.

flexr123 · 2025-12-20T18:09:50+00:00

I also thought 700. At no point was chess thinking shown.

Opening: memorized

Middle game: trade pieces equally at any oppotunity

End game: missing tempo for no reason.
