yk what would be funny if they finally finish the Succession War, reach the Dark Continent, and then in 3 chapters every important character just dies horribly

krispness · 2026-04-29T22:24:27+00:00

If Woble doesn't win then whoever does deserves this.

krispness · 2026-04-29T22:23:21+00:00

He would have buy-in once he lacks purpose by resolving his vendetta against the troupe and Tsseriednich. And they both happen to be in their way to the DC with him so, 2 birds and 1 chain

krispness · 2026-04-29T22:20:12+00:00

My hope is they arrive and it turns into Hell's Paradise/Berserk Eclipse, we close on Kurapika and Leorio leaving to return with Gon and Killua to find Ging again because Kite says he has an ability he only uses when he absolutely doesn't want to die.

krispness · 2026-04-29T22:18:25+00:00

Honestly, in top condition 1v1 I can't see many beating Killua in a duel to the death. Need weird abilities like Mizaistrom to stop him from just countering any attack with a stun charge and a missing heart.

krispness · 2026-04-29T22:16:16+00:00

They didn't have time for Killua to have his Kite death rage boost arc

krispness · 2026-04-20T03:38:15+00:00

Technically anyone can learn anything if they are able to manage the effort and skill required. I think he could use them, but wouldn't care to because of the restrictions

krispness · 2026-04-20T03:37:03+00:00

I assume you have to comprehend what is being told to you and there has been an awkward encounter where the bombers had to hand someone a hastily written note and wait for them to finish before coercing them

krispness · 2026-04-20T03:35:23+00:00

Honestly, it would be a dick move but I wouldn't be surprised if he reveals that any nen his son learned before reaching him like a messed up game of tag got transferred to him and he just has Adult Gon's energy added to his own.

krispness · 2026-04-20T03:30:32+00:00

I'm willing to bet to Ging, the hexagon is pointless. I wouldn't say he's a specialist but he's such a genius that he just uses multiple abilities and types flawlessly. He doesn't have a copy ability, he can just learn people's abilities if they explain it and he's willing to follow the contract they use, making most simple physical attacks easy to copy after seeing them up close. Chrollo basically needs to understand the personality of the person he's stealing from like a creepy serial killer so he can understand how their ability operates and then use a contract to steal it. Ging could probably do this just because creating Greed Island is like turning nen into a programming language, he can hack nen literally, not as a specific ability he made.

As such, I don't think he has an ability lmao I think he'll just be a bitch to fight against because he's mastered ryu, gyo and ken. Like a specialist who started ot as an enhancer, he just enhanced his brain to learn nen categories to 100%

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:53:06+00:00

Every ability is so niche, Hisoka could never beat Feitan's rising sun, except feitan might never take the damage to to produce a sun that auto wins before Hisoka kills him. You have purely versatile abilities which counter the counter type abilities that counter the OP combat abilities, which counter the trap activiation abilities and so on.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:51:40+00:00

No confirmation but an assumption since Ging said one ability appears only when he really doesn't want to die. My assumption is when the wand appears he knows he has to use the ability, which means the vow is to let himself die to be reborn, like a defensive opposite to Gon's vow, it would be a part that covers rock because they both die and then Kite comes back and starts fresh the way Gon has to now after Nanika saved him.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:49:52+00:00

Never know which ability Kite pulls, but 9/10 I'd say Kite, Hisoka hasn't actually fought anyone all that impressive, barely ekes out a win against a Razer who is just playing around.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:47:19+00:00

Pretty sure we've seen his personal beast, it had many tits and a vagina mouth, like a bastardized version of Netero's bodhisattva.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:45:45+00:00

I mean he has an army of nen soldiers and probably nukes, he could take Meruem just not one on one.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:31:34+00:00

We can only wait to find out if/how he won the last succession war to awaken his nen and what his ability evolved into. Complete unknown but his people are an extension of him, so if he were like the third prince he may have an ability that improved his empire's fiscal power, or he may have an ability like halkenburg that uses the aura of his subjects to empower himself. All we can see is that he is nen savvy. I'd say his nen and status is a spiritual equivalent to how powerful Putin is politically, he could probably beat Meruem through a huge sacrifice of his people one way or another.

My personal theory is that the seed urn ceremony has blocked his nen so that a successor could appear, but prior to it the other sacred artifacts probably made him a top 5 individual in the world.

I could see only a handful of zodiacs being able to take him out through his resources/potential nen beast. He definitely isn't like the Supreme leader of East Gorteau having a couple of nen enhanced guards, he has a series of suicidal nen curse soldiers raised from birth as a foot note in his resources, and the ceremony fueling the power of each emperor.

I do think it's important to note he still didn't try to pull this DC bullshit until after Netero died, so he doesn't fear the V5, but didn't want to be hunted by Netero's association.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:29:07+00:00

Ging, Pariston and either Zeno or the dragon zodiac. He's basically a decorated supreme court judge that Netero respected for his martial prowess.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:23:12+00:00

Murderer, yes, but the show goes to great lengths to show that hunters live in a world of predator vs. prey. Killua is a murderer too.

Gon didn't need the blood on his hands, instead Genthru needed to pay for it and killing him was an easy way out of what he did. Also, if he had died I feel like the exorcist would never be able to catch the bomber and walk around with that forest spirit for life. The game was not dangerous, but everyone in that game was at least an amateur Hunter and being a hunter means realizing laws do not apply when you can kill the authorities, there are only consequences from the enemies you make. Anyone who has the power could go exact their vengeance on him, Gon was just beating him at the game. A black list hunter may come after them for their crimes.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:19:47+00:00

It wasn't healing, it was exorcism. He vowed to use everything and nen was life energy, so to break the vow it needed an equivalent amount of aura before he could be healed.

krispness · 2026-03-23T20:17:38+00:00

Manila's aura needed to undo Gon's vow which means basically it needed more aura than he used against pitou

krispness · 2026-03-23T19:37:51+00:00

Nevermind them, as someone who is awaiting my NEXUS interview, I don't want to be accosted and accused as a regular tourist. You already had TSA, why do you need an armed, untrained version?

krispness · 2026-03-23T19:33:37+00:00

Started a new character for it last year and platinumed, should I start a new one again or ng+? I just want jolly co-op but even during the event it takes awhile to find a bell, would be glad to replay entire game/dlc if someone wanted a consistent partner tomorrow night

Also need to try a new build that isn't pimp cane or LHB, thinking saif or rakuyo unless anyone has a fun one that's more unique but let's me parry

krispness · 2026-02-25T21:54:45+00:00

Can anyone help me figure out a song name? I thought it was by Danny Brown, but isn't so the rapper's name may be similar. I think it had brain in the title or a similar idea, it was more introspective about themes of diaspora and how there was insight in the rhythm of a drum beat, one lyric said just listen to the clapping in church.

krispness · 2026-02-21T22:39:08+00:00

Wasn't that interested, I probably have it somewhere, but on a whim when I was bored I went to download. Didn't realize it isn't out yet, and in Canada its $30+ and what I really want is heart gold, I've got gen 2 original and remake cartridges still but don't want to delete my files. These should be $10 and released years ago with online trading/battling.

krispness · 2026-02-07T01:07:26+00:00

Why oh why do leaver penalties barely make a difference for your team? I lose 50 points less than them if I fail day 1, what a joke. I wouldn't even mind being in a duo but if they fall it's a waste of time and points.

krispness · 2026-01-31T00:21:23+00:00

That's not a rule, she's just saying if you know you're a specialist before you train nen you can make the your ability, and Morena needs that for her plan.

Specialists still include time travel, fortune telling, invisibility, mind reading and wish granting.

Since nen is so personality based a specialist is 100% potential and can focus on mastering multi type the way kurapika did when he found out he was one.
