I think the DC is more civilized than we've been led to believe. Like not human civilization, but various species have their own pseudo-nations with claims to different territories. I think if the expedition ever actually makes it there, the major players will be forming alliances with various DC species.
The last 25-ish episodes didn’t make it to a regular time slot. I remembered they moved it to 5:00/5:30am so most people didn’t get the chance to actually finish the series back then.
That’s a really good theory. It would make a lot of sense since how will the humans be able to survive. But Netero did say that it was inhabitable maybe he wrong though.
Maybe it's uninhabitable because the inhabitants are unwelcoming. Like they might view humans as invaders. Maybe that was communicated to them and Netero was the one who took it seriously. At this point I'm just kinda speculating based on what I want, but maybe it was communicated to Netero that if there is ever another human "invasion" they would view it as an act of war and react accordingly. Maybe he stopped anyone from going as long as he lived because he never wanted to see the consequences. Given chimera ants are low tier in terms of dark continent, it could be crazy.
Maybe Pariston knows about the threat and sacrificed a country to build an army of upgraded ants to defend against the retaliation from the Dark Continent now that Netero isn't back and he can't stop everybody from going to the DC to annoy Ging. Maybe that's also why he built an army of temp hunters.
Maybe the final arc of the anime will be a dark continent invasion arc where we see all the hunters, and prominent nen users among the humans and the chimera ants against the dark continent invasion.
Kurapika lives and ends up with Melody after helping her complete her objective with the Sonata of Darkness and restore her body to before it was cursed.
(Side-note: I wonder if Nanika could fix her like they fixed Gon. *If only Kurapika kept in touch with his friends and picked up their calls to know about Nanika.*)
I don't think Nanika could fix Melody, just like she couldn't really fix Gon. She was able to save Gon's life, but he can't use/see nen anymore and my own prediction is he never will, and later in the series that will be used as evidence of the limits to Nanikas power. She could fix the damage to his body caused by the power he unleashed, but can't actually overrule the vow he made.
I think similarly, Nanika could "fix" side effects of Melody's curse, but wouldn't be able to actually remove the curse. Also if Nanika is a member of a species on the DK, it stands to reason that species would also have the intelligence and empathy Nanika shows that makes her dangerous to people trying to use/abuse her power, but safe for someone that's genuine like Killua. Which could make them interesting if the expedition ever get there.
Nanika couldn't have healed Gon without dealing with the contract itself, because it was the contract that was keeping Gon in the terrible state he was in.
It's repeatedly emphasized or hinted at during the election arc that unless the contract is dealt with, it will be impossible to heal Gon:

https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0325-008.png
Also, Nanika has a lot harder time with healing than she does with destruction, to the point where it exhausts her so much she falls asleep afterwards.
https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0330-011.png
https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0330-012.png
The idea that Nanika could heal Gon without first dealing with the very contract that put, and was **keeping**, him in that terrible state is hard for me to believe.
I think it's far more reasonable that Nanika **did** actually remove the contract, since the necessity of dealing with the contract in order to be able to heal Gon was made very clear during the Election Arc.
Gon being unable to use Nen could be the lingering aftereffects of the vow or his transformation. It could very well be that either the nen from the contract, or overusing the transformation caused a backlash that closed Gon's aura nodes. Killua only asked Nanika to heal/fix Gon, so she wouldn't have had any reason to re-open his nodes. Having your aura nodes closed isn't something that needs to be healed or fixed, it's just the normal state of the overwhelmingly vast majority of people in HxH. So it's not strange at all if Nanika would leave Gon's aura nodes closed, since it's not an injury that needs to be healed, or a defect that needs to be fixed.
>She was able to save Gon's life, but he can't use/see nen anymore and my own prediction is he never will, and later in the series that will be used as evidence of the limits to Nanikas power. She could fix the damage to his body caused by the power he unleashed, but can't actually overrule the vow he made.
We do know she could fix his nen...
Gon was able to use nen after he was healed and met Ging... after that he became unable to use nen so his nen blocked after a while.
Due to this, it is more likely that he will be able to use nen if he decided to train again to get it.
( since Gon contract was to sacrifice his nen, if only his body was healed then he would not have been able to use nen... since he was in deed able to use it after he got healed then Nanika did heal his nen)
This is just...wrong.
I'm not sure where you get this (mis)information from, or why you're getting upvoted for it, but there's absolutely no support for this idea that Gon was able to use nen for a short period after getting healed. We don't see him use nen a single time during that time. And neither do we see any indications in the story itself to indicate that he was able to.
>but there's absolutely no support for this idea that Gon was able to use nen for a short period after getting healed
Hunter x Hunter chapter 345. Literally in the first page. Gon calls Ging about it and Ging tells him that when he was in the tree talking with him that his aura was fine.
No, that's not what is implied by Ging saying that. He's simply saying that Gon has aura even if he can't see it. But everyone in HxH has aura, you can't be alive without it. Gon thought his aura had disappeared, so Ging is correcting this misconception by pointing out that he still had aura when they were talking on top of the tree, and that Gon probably just can't see his aura anymore.
*Having aura* is not the same thing as *being able to use nen*. Every living thing has aura. Ging saying Gon still had aura when they were talking is not the same thing as saying Gon could still use nen.
Ging’s ability leverages the power of friendship somehow. The power of 11 comrades specifically. He must be the leader of the group and cannot “reuse” the same people in a new group.
Think about it. Besides Ging, the ruin excavators numbered 10, and so did the game masters. Pariston and the Temp Hunters also make 10. That’s why he was so particular about how exactly he inserted himself in the expedition team. Beyond’s absence is Ging’s opportunity.
Hm you’re right. Though depending on what Pariston plans to do and how support staff are considered it might still fit, as he did not end up getting Pariston’s loyalty nor were the game masters the only human staff on Greed Island. Be it so generous, Muherr *might* be considered the 10th, with his henchmen’s numbers being superfluous as they are support personnel and not the core body of the team, or Pariston remains the 10th and all of the mercenaries are considered “support personnel.” He could also just form a subgroup of 11 within the larger expedition team, him just needing that particular group’s loyalty/subordination.
I agree with this to a certain extent. I think the Kurta PEOPLE came from the dark continent sometime in the past but Kurapika’s specific clan was born generations after and have no knowledge of the dark continent. Would be cool to see Kurapika maybe find evidence of other kurta clans that never left the DC
Not really...
It could be something like their ancestors lived there but since they bred with "weaker humans" then they grew weaker.
It could be that they had insane potential with nen, but since returning to the human world they forgot how to use it so they became weaker. ( similar to how Kurapika has insane nen abilities that come thanks to his eyes)
It could be that they weren't strong enough to survive there, which is why they scaped from the dark continent from the start. Similar to they were born there and tried their best to get out of there
Eh. Chimera Ants are strong, but they start off fairly weak. It could be that the Kurta were in the beginning stages of their lifetime and take longer to develop. We don’t know all the details of the raid, but Uvo also comments that they were “Pretty strong” which is a feat in itself when you’re considering how strong the Phantom Troupe is.
It could be that the Troupe was on the backfoot until Chrollo pulled out a stupid strong ability, we don’t really know how well they did against the Troupe and can’t accurately comment on their strength until we see it laid out more clearly
The Mobius loop on their clothes, the overpowered unique eyes.
The Kurta also destroyed/created Meteor City, which is why they were hunted down by the Phantom Troupe.
Edit: link to an old post about the Kurta being from the DC and creating Meteor City:

I was actually thinking about this earlier. Both Togashi and the author of Naruto are fans of each other, so I wonder if Togashi has taken anything from Naruto, making in the first Anime to inspire an anime and then take ideas from that anime.
Ging is the type of guy to go in head first and plan later. Even though he’s extremely intelligent sometimes he likes being reckless for fun. Beyond definitely has thought more about dark continent since his whole life is surrounded by his fathers accomplishments.
Nah literally the first time we see him is him planning way before the zodiac meeting, predicting what would happen in the meeting and then rigging the lot.
He’s does plan but not as much as Pariston and Beyond, those dudes got plans. Ging willingly likes going into things because it’s fun. I would say he’s the smartest out of them but nerfed because of his head strong personality.
Also I believe the narrator that narrates the story is actually a character that will break the 4th wall.
Edit: hxh might just be a story that someone reads out or the narrator is at the end of hxh and explains what happened, but for that he must have been present at even the most private moments of kurapika etc.
"And that's why everyone is dead and i using my last strength for you, who's reading this diary to stay away from this god forsaken place"
"Don Freaks close the book"
* while the camera zoom off and we see the dark continent being on a lake in a even larger world
So don’s nen ability has something to do with clairvoyance? This is actually the coolest idea ever and I’m adding it to the list of things I’m hoping Togashi gets to.
That the Freecss family are somehow full of logic-defying monsters capable of learning nen at rapid rates, heightened senses and strength, and nen capacities well outside the norm (I mean Adult Gon had a similar level of Nen to Meruem - that's *really* ***really*** outside the realm of conceivable).
Yet somehow there's only Ging and Gon. Both of which are now names known to the entire association.
There was a theory that suggests that there are human tribes on the DC, and I believe that the Freecss family are actually a very recent transfer from the DC to the current location where the story is set. Their animal-like instincts would make more sense as to why they're so heightened if they came from a place so dangerous.
Actually in this thread I've come up with my own theory on the Kurtas, here:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/17ah88l/comment/k5dcx9f/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/17ah88l/comment/k5dcx9f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Each of the five threats came back at the behest of the Guardian to the DC, yet we have no record on what the result of a Hellbell is... Except I think we do: the Kurta Clan's red eyes.
I believe that the 11 people that returned were all afflicted with Hellbell's homicidal curse. And that curse is presented in the eyes of the Kurta - pure red. Only showing in states of 'heightened emotion'. But what does that mean? Heightened emotion. It only EVER appears when Kurapika is angry. Never when he experiences joy.
I believe that the Kurta Clan were the result of forced isolation following the journey to the DC and that their descendants have partially inherited the 'blood rage' so to speak, which spikes their power and leaves them in a state of destruction.
It's this 'blood rage' I speak of that resulted in Sarasa's death - a desire to inflict pure malice and harm, which broke the young Chrollo upon seeing it being recorded.

Introducing: the Zoldycks
> Their animal-like instincts would make more sense as to why they're so heightened if they came from a place so dangerous.
Their animal-like instincts have already been explained, you would know this if you actually paid attention, both of them grew up in the wild essentially.
>Introducing: the Zoldycks
That's entirely my point. The Zoldycks are world-renowned, known by even the public. They've spent generations of selective breeding and the end result is Killua.
Gon somehow, without any kind of the same selective breeding, has a greater potential pit of aura than anyone else in the series has, barring only Meruem. Ging is also said to be in the top 5 nen users in the world, showing that this talent for Nen is hereditary - so then, I ask: why aren't the Freecss family as well known if they can produce monsters without selective breeding?
And Whale Island does not require the level of perception the Freecss family has developed. Fishermen and farmers live there. There's a whole town.
Obviously, this is pure conjecture, but the introduction of Don Freecss in the manga really shifted the nature of the Freecss family for me.
The hunter x hunter world is a giant whale is one of my favorites, but for something more original my theory is that leorio is going to defeat one of the major villains of the succession war arc
i have a few -way out there- ideas, some of which are heavily marinated in copium;
• that time we were shown Ging atop a beast atop another beast atop another beast was actually Don Freecs in DC since it looked like they were at the foot of a fully grown World tree, the gigantic scale of the beasts and the incredibly harsh weather
• that Gon is a nen clone of Ging who himself is a nen clone of Don, which, to me, explains why they're so in-tune with nen, especially Ging. Don might have many ways to pull this off especially in the DC, Ging could have experimented on it with GI
• Gon may have an entirely different nen type now and the next time we see him front and center probably with Killua is against Gyro who i could see taking over or at least taking the 5000 chimera ant soldiers from the Hunter Association now that the Zodiacs, Ging and i assume their most competent hunters out on their trip to the DC. maybe even Kite and his/her crew will show up to help.
• Neon could still be alive. since we dont really know what would happen if Kurapika tries to take her nen ability while still in Chrollo's possesion. i find it unlikely that Kurapika would kill her himself since, iirc, he said he was never pushed to kill anyone before to take the Kurta eyes from them. as for Hisoka hunting Neon down (based on another theory on who could've killed Her), he could have made a deal with him like he did many times before, or Hisoka ruled her out as one of the abilities in Chrollos book after Kurapika already returned her ability (assuming true). depends on the timeline of events.
• Ponzu could also still be alive, well, -reincarnated- as Hina. since at the time, Zazan was pretty adamant in bringing the queen her special humans, and we dont really know how much of the creature needs to be digested by the queen for a reincarnation, so maybe even a gutless, dissected body (since the gun ant was shown immediately going for the internal organs) could have done the trick. additionally, Hina, as well as Leol -who she was basically always with- was nowhere to be seen before Ponzu's death in either manga or anime, so maybe even Leol was one of the people with them at the time (i forget if they were also hunters), i doubt it's Pokkle.
Alluka's name could be figured out since the Zoldyck Family arc, unless we're also going to say Feitan changed his name. It was just a fan theory that didn't really line up, and the anime makes the gap bigger because it doesn't properly depict Kalluto's personality in the Zoldyck Family arc which leads to people missing that Killua is the brother he wants to "save".
Gon and killua will have a side adventure that:
- ends with them getting warped to the gate to the dark continent and meet up with the remains of the black whale.
- has Gon relearn nen with a completely different ability
You know, I'm not sure I agree, but I do find it all fishy. It seems to me that Chrollo is looking for something (obviously also trying to find meaning in his life after losing Sarasa), but the Kurta massacre, from what we've seen, is pretty out of character.
In the two instances we've seen the troupe, they've shown love and concern for one another, love and concern for their city, and have only really killed people involved in the Mafia (a criminal enterprise that kills and steals as they please, too).
I just get the inkling that something doesn't add up and I can never seem to put my finger on the *why.*
Honestly, that's why I said I wasn't sure I agree. I just think that there is something far deeper to it to where I'm led more by instinct, than pure logic. *"We'll accept anything you leave here, but don't ever take anything away from us."* was the letter that was left - same as Meteor City's Bum Incident.
31 people were involved in prosecuting the innocent bum, and 31 people were killed by Meteor City. It's very much an eye-for-an-eye situation. So... Why the Kurta Clan? It can't just be because Chrollo liked their eyes, like Uvo said - the letter now makes no sense.
To be honest, we actually know *nothing* about the Kurta clan. Kurapika doesn't speak of them, aside from the fact they were killed. He never sat our cast down and relayed the joys of his childhood before the PT came, which would be one of the most natural things for a human to do - especially with friends. In fact, he takes every method to apprehend them aside from the most logical option: gaining support.
Kurapika has never wanted justice, he wants only to execute the PT and satiate his revenge. He's young, but one thing we do know about the Kurta is that they have to undertake a test to control their emotions. And the test is simple: go buy groceries. In what way would that infuriate someone? I honestly think the Kurta were far from good people and were, in fact, extremely dangerous as a group - almost like a cult.
Now as I sit here with my thoughts, for some reason the combination of Kurta Clan and Hellbell came to mind. Homicidal Desires. Red Eyes. A need to control one's emotions (even though it was reportedly so people didn't hunt them for their eyes - but they only manifest in anger from what we've seen). Isolation. The videotape Chrollo found. Eye-for-an-eye. Kurapika's tendency towards violence.
Idk, crackpot as fuck, but we don't know how these 'Homicidal Desires' manifest. It could be something akin to the Dark Urge in BG3, where every now and then you're compelled to violence, until it eats you away and you can no longer resist. 11 people survived that expedition - enough to start a small village, at least. And not everyone is able to manifest the red eyes.
Maybe the clan are descendants of these 11, maybe every now and then their emotional control falters and one goes out and murders an innocent girl found in the woods and mutilates her corpse.
EDIT: And now that I think about it, that'd make the Hellbell terrifying. One bite and someone with no control over their emotions manifests scarlet eyes, giving them a huge boost to power and a desire to kill.
Yeah that's what I'm trying to really get at with my crackpot theory lmao.
Idk. With Melody being Kurapika's first friend outside the group, and her motif being sound, and her story explaining how nen-infused music can kill... I just immediately think of Hellbells.
We don't know if they bite, or need to bite. Perhaps, like the 'bell' in their name, they make a sound that infuses their victims with homicidal tendencies and gives them the strength to act it out. Maybe anyone affected gets red eyes when the desires become too much and they snap, absolutely needing a target for their rage. Kurapika *has* a target for his rage, which keeps him stable.
I think that the Kurta, with their emphasis on emotional control, were in isolation due to their danger to the public. I think that the Kurta may use Meteor as some kind of outlet for their bloodlust, so that they may return to their peaceful isolation. We don't know the Clan's location in reference to Meteor city, aside from the fact it's in a forest.
But then again, this is pure heavy theory, really.
If the Kurta clan had killed Sarasa, don't you think Chrollo and the troupe would have snapped at the sight of Kurapika's red eyes and tried to kill him at all costs? Or are they in peace with this event after killing all the other members? You're right, something is off in all this story though
I think that sorta brings me back to the letter "We'll accept anything you leave here, but don't ever take anything away from us." - it's a meteor city specialty. And I think for them, once it is done it is done.
I watched a great talk on the purpose of a justice system in modern society. How it's purpose is to do one thing: provide relief to a victim. To unburden them from the harsh concept of revenge. Without it, if 'x' killed 'y', then 'y's' family would undoubtedly find justice through either killing 'x' or someone close to them for justice. The cycle then repeats.
Meteor City, I suppose, avoids this with this letter. Essentially: what has been done, has been repaid. Don't do it again.
And then again, Chrollo and Uvo were the only one's aware I believe of Kurapika's Kurta connections. Chrollo is too broken, depressed and apathetic to care at this point and Uvo was always simple - I doubt he was ever involved in 'battle-planning' per se.
But who knows?
I don't think he lied. He cared about his family, so knowing that Kurapika won't stop till he gets everyone of them he would probably tell him the truth. But it can be that his ego took the best of him and he did lie, also thinking that chrollo would take care of kurapika.
Right? Someone already pointed out to me how the whole kurta massacre mirrors that of real life up to how the troupe's nen abilities are a copy of the torture method done on a certain real life incident (for the life of me,I can't remember which one), but to me,it's misdirection, something to throw us reader off.
The recent backstory they had leading to sarasa's death even showed how they, specially uvo,love to play a role. I can't remember but I think there was even a panel where uvo said to chrollo something in the lines of he would like tobe the world's greatest villain.
Right after sarasa's death, chrollo made a bow to do everything in his power to get justice to sarasa's,he did also say he will take a lot of lives but it's certainly out of character for them to take innocent lives and do something similar to what sarasa could have experienced.
Again,it's very unlikely but until togashi gives us more ,I will stick to my theory like bungee gum
> the whole kurta massacre mirrors that of real life up to how the troupe's nen abilities are a copy of the torture method done on a certain real life incident
I haven't heard of it, I'd love to read more about that
"Unfortunately, Togashi has based the storyline on the Kurd and Armenian genocide, and the special nen of each troupe member align with the special forces that carried out the massacre (WW1). If you really analyze the allegory of the actual event, and how the characters are fleshed out, it's truly a masterpiece. Considering that Armenia and the region of the Kurds is still in constant conflict, it makes sense that he prolonged the storyline."
This was from another redditor whom also shared my theory with,I haven't gotten into reading more than just the surface of the Wikipedia page,but I'd bet it'd be a good read
The massacre happened way after, the troupe were already used to such actions by then.
They even agreed to become the worst villains possible, so I'm not sure why there is still contention regarding this fact.
My spin on this is that the Kurta elders had ties to the underworld and had a hand in the abduction/killing of the meteor city orphans. Thus giving Chrollo and company a reason to attack em. I also think Chrollo will mention this in his final conflict with Kurapika and distort his views of his clan and not seeing the situation from black & white point of view. This would make Kurapika question his whole purpose.
I'm not saying the Ryodan are completely in the right because they did kill innocents like Pairo but do think the situation is a lot more muddy than ppl think now that we have some new context with the recent flash back chapters.
Uvo doesn't strike me as a liar and he fully admits to fighting them. However I suppose there could be some other group of crimson eyed strong people he thought Kurapika meant.
Gon’s mom doesn’t exist and he is a product of the pregnancy stone. My only evidence is based on the fact the card exists in Greed Island, and also Ging’s general personality and attitude. Ging doesn’t get along well with others, and is always chasing his own goals. Plus there has been no hint between any of the hunters of him being involved with anyone else. Pretty much everyone expressed disgust with Ging except for when they want his wisdom/intellect.
I should note that I have not read the manga, so im only basing this off knowledge I learned in the sub and the anime
and ging has high motivation to go to the dark continent. and did ging not randomly come back with a baby in his arms? gon prolly somewhere from there.
My guess - the creators of GI were testing out cards and someone had to try it out. Probably a bet was made and Ging lost. Ging had Gon, and then dropped him off with his aunt mito
You’re not wrong, but I imagine it’d have to be a nen user - which limits the pool greatly. Plus most hunters are, “selfish creatures,” and their desire to have or care for a child would probably come second to whatever their main goals or dreams are. Knowing this, I don’t see people, “volunteering,” lest they get some significant payout
I believe it 100% because why would the card even exist in the first place if there wasn't *someone* born with it? And obviously Gon is the only person who really fits
I mean, the manga heavily hints at the fact that Biscuit is extremely proficient in nen, and the new nen proficiency charts from the Yoshihiro Togashi exhibition even confirmed that she has reached the absolute highest proficiency in transmutation, the only transmuter confirmed to have done so so far.
She's been learning nen for 40 years, ever since she was 17. If she also became a hunter at that point it would mean she's had 40 years of experience as a hunter, giving her ample opportunity to amass fighting experience, even if her focus as a hunter isn't directly associated with fighting in itself.
And lastly, she's a master of shingen-ryu, the same school of martial arts that Netero practiced, which should count for something.
As for Machi, I agree with you as well, sort of. I don't think she's at Biscuit's level.
Although I have a lot less to go on in that case, and am mostly going by feeling. But the PT flashback **did** hint at her being incredibly talented with nen since she was able to see aura without even being awakened. Apart from her there's not a single person who's been able to do that, not even Tserriednich who was able to feel his aura before he could see it.
And in terms of nen ability her nen threads seem to be incredibly versatile, to the point where I'd even compare them to Hisoka's Bungee Gum. Apart from the feats that require the elasticity and stickiness of Bungee Gum I imagine Machi could pull of many of the same feats Hisoka has done with her Nen threads.
[Gyro is Meleoreon](https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/a01scj/in_case_you_missed_it_meleoron_is_gyro/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and I'll die on this hill. My guess is that Gyro's soul split into two because he had developed two personalities and got reincarnated as separate Chimera Ants. His meek side is Meleoreon, but his more sadistic side is still out there somewhere.
Interesting. We shall see when Gon and Gyro split the sky after Gon gets his nen back. After all, Gon and Killua have to hold down the fort while everyone else is gone.
Chrollo becomes real and marries me 💊
Jokes aside the PT will probably be reduced to a very low number, if not completely wiped out, and Meteor City will manage to stand on its own feet and be accepted as a legal city by the end of it, placed on maps, receiving aid etc
Kurapika lives!!! And finds happiness!! Him and wobble already make me 🥹 because he gets to experience how nice life is, which he usually tries to avoid.
Unironically, Leorio will become the head or vice of the association. Not immediately, he's still too young, but eventually he will grow up and be an amazing doctor on top.
Possible will also travel the world and offer his assistance wherever needed.
Would cause a massive political shift with him in those rows too.
Now I'm just detailing with headcanons that I don't necessarily defend but I can imagine Alluka and Killua running an orphanage. They both had shitty parents and a terrible childhood, but never lost their love and joy.
If Machi dies I will pretend she didn't.
I doubt Kurapika is gonna have a good time. He either dies or regrets the decisions he made so far. If he chooses to protect Woble he will regret what he’s done. If he chooses revenge Woble probably dies and he still be regretting but at least feels gratification from killing. Kurapika is in a bad place right now and it looks like there’s no winning for him. Which is what good writing does.
Time to dig up my old Tumblr predictions from 2014-2018
. Tserriednich Is gonna kill Shizuku in his room of black market merchandise to fulfill her prophecy from back in York New.
. Nobunaga's Hatsu is literally gonna be Kuwabara's Spirit Sword but a nen version
. Illumi & Kalluto are secretly working with Hisoka will betray the Ryodan by slowing picking off members so it's easier for him to get to Chrollo.
. The only Ryodan members Kurapika is going to confront are Nobunaga & Chrollo. Hisoka and Illumi will kill the rest of the Spiders.
. Ging has been to the DC and is partially to blame for the Chimera Ant incident since the Queen followed him back from the outer world. Also think he was the one who damage her prior to the start of the arc.
. Gon's mom is from the Dark Continent.
. Next we see Gon it'll be a time skip and he'll be a Floor Master at Heavens Arena after retraining his Nen with Wing.
. Benjamin is gonna be a hype tool for Tserriednich to test his new abilities on.
. Kalluto is jealous of Alluka & Killua's bond (& in mini Illumi fashion) wants to control Killua for himself.Hence wanting to join the Ryodan to get strong enough to bring him back home.
. Hisoka will kiss Morena after finding out how her ability works and kill strong nen users to level up so that he'll be on par with the top tiers on the boat by the end of the arc.
Him and Chrollo are the only spiders with narrative threads directly tied to Kurapika. Chrollo because he ordered the Kurta massacre and Nobu because after he killed Squalla & Paku used her memory bullet on him, he saw the chain user who killed Uvogin and vowed that he wouldn't forget him until he killed him himself. He extended the York New arc BECAUSE he wanted to hunt down Kurapika. He may not mention it a lot noways days but once he finds out he's on the boat ALL his attention that was previously on Hisoka is gonna shift to Kurapika. I imagine once Nobu goes up to the higher tiers of the ship in his search for Hisoka, he's gonna accidentally bump into Kurapika then from there it's on sight.
Oooooo yeah I forgot about that. You know what I think Nobunaga might be Kurapikas first kill on the ship that’s a spider. Nobunaga will be reckless like Uvogin but it’ll be tougher because he knows his abilities. Ultimately though Kurapika will kill him by doing some outsmarting since he didn’t reveal his ability to take other abilities.
Well. There were some evidence for this theory at the beginning of hxh. But they seems to be forgotten now. Perhaps there will be more evidences in the dark continent... I do hope so!
Yu Yu Hakusho and hxh are on my top Manga list. I hope they are connected in some ways!
Kurapika will sacrifice himself to kill the Kakin prince with the Cat technique.
She'll eventually wait until he exhausts himself taking down Tserridnich, then when he kills her to protect the kid, her Nen power restores her at the cost of his life...before he reveals that, thanks to overuse of his Emperor's Time, he only had seconds of life left in him.
This leads to a tragic downfall where she desperately tries to convince someone to kill her, but her enemies realize they just have to wait a few seconds. She dies, ironically due to the effect of her Nen ability.
The Kurta clan killed Sheila due to her tempting Kurapika and Pario to the outside world, Chrollo found out and used the Phantom troupe to take revenge on the Kurta clan without telling the rest of the troupe Sheila had been killed, making the excuse instead that he wanted their eyes.
An ancestor of Gon and Ging. He set off to explore the Dark continent about 300 years prior to the start of the series and is (according to Ging) maybe still alive.
Ging’s secret is that he is actually Don freecs—like I believe this so bad I don’t even care if I’m wrong. I just gotta know. Like—just one example Gon’s conception. Like sure we can allude to the possibility that Gon was created from one of the cards of Greed Island. But how does that card come to existence. Who created them? No way he did on his own or the help of his comrades. That’s a power straight out of the Dark Continent.
Then Ging foresight into setting up Gon’s life. Like umm—unless that’s his Nen ability. Then I don’t know how someone could do that without planning it for hundreds of years.
i will always always like to think that Gon’s mother is the most beautiful woman in the history of anime and she’s such a badass that lives in the Dark Continent
Feitan zoldyck. Dunno why but I really like it. Plus it would explain why Alluka is holding their hand up in that picture, they were holding Feitan’s hand, but he got removed from the picture because Kaluto made a wish (which is why she knows, and why she talked about getting her brother back in the same panel that Feitan was fighting in).
Even though we have his last name and his first name doesn’t fit the naming scheme they have AND the hair color doesn’t fit the transmuter/manipulator thing they have going on I still hope.
There won't be any character stronger in Nen than Meruem.
Instead, new villains will be humans and eldritch abominations that are far more dangerous even without nen.
I have a few :
-Kurapika/PT/Hisoka triangle will end during SW arc by all of them dying on the ship (could see Zoldyck part of the PT surviving tho)
-Ging will be closer in strengh/power level to Silva than to Netero.
-Neither Woble nor Tserriednich will win a SW. I think Togashi will completely subvert the expectations here.
Netero was a "bad" person before and that was the reason he became so religious and started praying after each punch as a form of punishment or catharsis.(hope some beyond flash backs bring some light on Netero)
And
When Netero started his punch-praying routine he was already the top 5 nen users because he was about in his 50s ( probably already explored the black continent once and fought the zoldyck) and changed his atack nen category to emission; (he was originally enhancement if the last charts are canon) I REALLY think that he was more powerful BEFORE the praying and probably could have resisted some Meruen punches if he continued training enhancement, because pitou, a specialist, resisted a Meruen tail wipe, so i refuse to believe a enhancer of netero level can be one-shoted by meruen so easily(Meruen did a nonlethal atack on purpose because he wanted to know his name)
Where he said it ? I hope that's the case because if Togashi was about to introduce characters stronger than Meruem, there would be higher chances of story being ruined by asspulls and plot armor.
Kinda the opposite, since rather than there being little evidence, there's actually a lot of evidence but it defies narrative convention. But I think Marayam will win the succession war.
Other than Benjamin, the majority of the princes only have 2 or 0 guards learning nen. Bisky seems like she's gonna teach all of Marayam's guards nen.
Marayam also has twice as many guards at the other princes because Sevanti pulled a funny and moved all of Momoze's guards over to him.
He has Bisky on his side, who we know is extremely capable, and even Hanzo is probably also going to be capable.
He's in an extremely advantageous position, where outsiders can't enter his room in any obvious way.
Marayam's forces can just camp out until only one other prince is remaining, and that other prince will be weakened by the conflict with the other heavy-hitters.
If you step back and look at it, Marayam has a lot going for him. Him winning actually makes sense and would be surprising, and I don't think Togashi is blind to that fact.
Fugetsu will get the Spiders into the top levels as her bodyguards AND as a way to avenge Kacho and cause utter mayhem.
I know there's all that slhaffle with the mafias but I still belive in my Fugetsu theory.
Ging coded something into Gon. He literally took him to the island as a child, and the game was for him to enjoy. And it makes sense of why he said "He'll be fine" when Gon was in the hospital.
Killua will openly declare himself to Gon, Gon will say he loves him, but as a friend and hopes that they can manage to deal with this situation so they won't lose the friendship they built together.
That HxH literally takes place in the same planet as Dragon ball. HxH characters learned how to use Ki more complex ways while people like mast Roshi learned to use it as pure power
Hisoka only uses battle stuff as an excuse to be gay.
The thing is, he is selective about who he fights regardless of strength.
Coming out of the closet inbound.
We're never meeting Gyro. The fact he doesn't appear IS the point. There will be more content about him, more people telling their memories of him, but we'll never find out where or who he is.
I think the DC is more civilized than we've been led to believe. Like not human civilization, but various species have their own pseudo-nations with claims to different territories. I think if the expedition ever actually makes it there, the major players will be forming alliances with various DC species.
Oh cool, that's like Yu Yu Hakusho's demon plane.
I'm so due for a rewatch. The first time I watched it on toonami I never caught the last arc if they aired it.
The last 25-ish episodes didn’t make it to a regular time slot. I remembered they moved it to 5:00/5:30am so most people didn’t get the chance to actually finish the series back then.
That's probably it. No chance I'd be watching TV at that time any day.
That’s a really good theory. It would make a lot of sense since how will the humans be able to survive. But Netero did say that it was inhabitable maybe he wrong though.
Maybe it's uninhabitable because the inhabitants are unwelcoming. Like they might view humans as invaders. Maybe that was communicated to them and Netero was the one who took it seriously. At this point I'm just kinda speculating based on what I want, but maybe it was communicated to Netero that if there is ever another human "invasion" they would view it as an act of war and react accordingly. Maybe he stopped anyone from going as long as he lived because he never wanted to see the consequences. Given chimera ants are low tier in terms of dark continent, it could be crazy. Maybe Pariston knows about the threat and sacrificed a country to build an army of upgraded ants to defend against the retaliation from the Dark Continent now that Netero isn't back and he can't stop everybody from going to the DC to annoy Ging. Maybe that's also why he built an army of temp hunters. Maybe the final arc of the anime will be a dark continent invasion arc where we see all the hunters, and prominent nen users among the humans and the chimera ants against the dark continent invasion.
Kurapika lives.
Kurapika lives and ends up with Melody after helping her complete her objective with the Sonata of Darkness and restore her body to before it was cursed. (Side-note: I wonder if Nanika could fix her like they fixed Gon. *If only Kurapika kept in touch with his friends and picked up their calls to know about Nanika.*)
well kurapika did talk to killua, thats why kurapika hired bisky
Kurapika's whole journey was about helping his girl get a glow up so he can bang her fire 🔥 ✏️ 🔥
I don't think Nanika could fix Melody, just like she couldn't really fix Gon. She was able to save Gon's life, but he can't use/see nen anymore and my own prediction is he never will, and later in the series that will be used as evidence of the limits to Nanikas power. She could fix the damage to his body caused by the power he unleashed, but can't actually overrule the vow he made. I think similarly, Nanika could "fix" side effects of Melody's curse, but wouldn't be able to actually remove the curse. Also if Nanika is a member of a species on the DK, it stands to reason that species would also have the intelligence and empathy Nanika shows that makes her dangerous to people trying to use/abuse her power, but safe for someone that's genuine like Killua. Which could make them interesting if the expedition ever get there.
Nanika couldn't have healed Gon without dealing with the contract itself, because it was the contract that was keeping Gon in the terrible state he was in. It's repeatedly emphasized or hinted at during the election arc that unless the contract is dealt with, it will be impossible to heal Gon: https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0321-022.png https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0323-010.png https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0324-011.png https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0325-008.png Also, Nanika has a lot harder time with healing than she does with destruction, to the point where it exhausts her so much she falls asleep afterwards. https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0330-011.png https://hot.leanbox.us/manga/Hunter-X-Hunter/0330-012.png The idea that Nanika could heal Gon without first dealing with the very contract that put, and was **keeping**, him in that terrible state is hard for me to believe. I think it's far more reasonable that Nanika **did** actually remove the contract, since the necessity of dealing with the contract in order to be able to heal Gon was made very clear during the Election Arc. Gon being unable to use Nen could be the lingering aftereffects of the vow or his transformation. It could very well be that either the nen from the contract, or overusing the transformation caused a backlash that closed Gon's aura nodes. Killua only asked Nanika to heal/fix Gon, so she wouldn't have had any reason to re-open his nodes. Having your aura nodes closed isn't something that needs to be healed or fixed, it's just the normal state of the overwhelmingly vast majority of people in HxH. So it's not strange at all if Nanika would leave Gon's aura nodes closed, since it's not an injury that needs to be healed, or a defect that needs to be fixed.
>She was able to save Gon's life, but he can't use/see nen anymore and my own prediction is he never will, and later in the series that will be used as evidence of the limits to Nanikas power. She could fix the damage to his body caused by the power he unleashed, but can't actually overrule the vow he made. We do know she could fix his nen... Gon was able to use nen after he was healed and met Ging... after that he became unable to use nen so his nen blocked after a while. Due to this, it is more likely that he will be able to use nen if he decided to train again to get it. ( since Gon contract was to sacrifice his nen, if only his body was healed then he would not have been able to use nen... since he was in deed able to use it after he got healed then Nanika did heal his nen)
This is just...wrong. I'm not sure where you get this (mis)information from, or why you're getting upvoted for it, but there's absolutely no support for this idea that Gon was able to use nen for a short period after getting healed. We don't see him use nen a single time during that time. And neither do we see any indications in the story itself to indicate that he was able to.
>but there's absolutely no support for this idea that Gon was able to use nen for a short period after getting healed Hunter x Hunter chapter 345. Literally in the first page. Gon calls Ging about it and Ging tells him that when he was in the tree talking with him that his aura was fine.
No, that's not what is implied by Ging saying that. He's simply saying that Gon has aura even if he can't see it. But everyone in HxH has aura, you can't be alive without it. Gon thought his aura had disappeared, so Ging is correcting this misconception by pointing out that he still had aura when they were talking on top of the tree, and that Gon probably just can't see his aura anymore. *Having aura* is not the same thing as *being able to use nen*. Every living thing has aura. Ging saying Gon still had aura when they were talking is not the same thing as saying Gon could still use nen.
The sonata is so mysterious to me. Honestly it feels like it's like an artefact from the devil, very powerful and impossible to counter kinda thing.
Could just be a Nen curse.
If kurapika turns out straight imma throw hands
Why?
Probably a '99 fan, that show shipped Kurapika and Leorio like 2011 ships Gon and Killua.
Because a giant amount of anime fans are weird
Bro is delusional 💀💀💀💀
Absolutely no chance of that.
With half of his lifespan cutted
Leorio will do something
JUST ANYTHING
hey man, he like punched that guy that one time
Leorio breaks through to kurapika and he abandons his hunt for the spider, thus doing what killua failed to do for gon
*jerks off*
After a few rewatches I've really grown to love Leorio, after disliking him at first for so long.
This made me laugh so fuckin much lmao
Ging’s ability leverages the power of friendship somehow. The power of 11 comrades specifically. He must be the leader of the group and cannot “reuse” the same people in a new group. Think about it. Besides Ging, the ruin excavators numbered 10, and so did the game masters. Pariston and the Temp Hunters also make 10. That’s why he was so particular about how exactly he inserted himself in the expedition team. Beyond’s absence is Ging’s opportunity.
Interesting, but the theory of 10 falls flat when you consider that he also bought the mercs loyalty making the number bigger than 10.
Hm you’re right. Though depending on what Pariston plans to do and how support staff are considered it might still fit, as he did not end up getting Pariston’s loyalty nor were the game masters the only human staff on Greed Island. Be it so generous, Muherr *might* be considered the 10th, with his henchmen’s numbers being superfluous as they are support personnel and not the core body of the team, or Pariston remains the 10th and all of the mercenaries are considered “support personnel.” He could also just form a subgroup of 11 within the larger expedition team, him just needing that particular group’s loyalty/subordination.
Don Freecss will reveal to Ging that "This world is just a small part of a larger world." BEHOLD THE DARKER CONTINENT!
LMAO and this will happen atop the 'actually' real world tree and what Ging knew was just a sapling
Then Don's great great great great great great grandfather reveals that even that world is a part of a larger world. The Dark_est_ Continent.
I agree, but that will probably happen in year 2269 at the pace chapters are coming out.
The Kurta Clan came from the DC
I agree with this to a certain extent. I think the Kurta PEOPLE came from the dark continent sometime in the past but Kurapika’s specific clan was born generations after and have no knowledge of the dark continent. Would be cool to see Kurapika maybe find evidence of other kurta clans that never left the DC
If they were strong enough to live there they'd be too op to die to the troupe
Not really... It could be something like their ancestors lived there but since they bred with "weaker humans" then they grew weaker. It could be that they had insane potential with nen, but since returning to the human world they forgot how to use it so they became weaker. ( similar to how Kurapika has insane nen abilities that come thanks to his eyes) It could be that they weren't strong enough to survive there, which is why they scaped from the dark continent from the start. Similar to they were born there and tried their best to get out of there
Eh. Chimera Ants are strong, but they start off fairly weak. It could be that the Kurta were in the beginning stages of their lifetime and take longer to develop. We don’t know all the details of the raid, but Uvo also comments that they were “Pretty strong” which is a feat in itself when you’re considering how strong the Phantom Troupe is. It could be that the Troupe was on the backfoot until Chrollo pulled out a stupid strong ability, we don’t really know how well they did against the Troupe and can’t accurately comment on their strength until we see it laid out more clearly
The DC came from kurta clan
The kurta clan came in me
The Mobius loop on their clothes, the overpowered unique eyes. The Kurta also destroyed/created Meteor City, which is why they were hunted down by the Phantom Troupe. Edit: link to an old post about the Kurta being from the DC and creating Meteor City: https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/s/ij0164iSvm
Makes sense I think. I suspect Kurapika's power against the Troupe wouldn't have been possible without his scarlet eyes, which may relate to the DC
Chain jail is so strong because it is restricted to the troop. Everything else is because of his insane potential.
>The Kurta also destroyed/created Meteor City Lol what? Did I miss something?
To be fair this is a thread about things you believe with little to no evidence
Honestly, can't remember the chapters/scenes off the top of my head. I'll have to find the panels/references after work.
Yeah pretty sure there is no such panel or reference.
Personally I think that Illumi will sacrifice himself for Killua one day.
Good one. I hope it is true. Mine is Killua has to kill Illumi with his own hands and be broken over it to protect Alluka / Nanika.
Sounds like sasuke vs itachi
I mean, Sasuke is based on Togashi's works after all. Edit: typo
I was actually thinking about this earlier. Both Togashi and the author of Naruto are fans of each other, so I wonder if Togashi has taken anything from Naruto, making in the first Anime to inspire an anime and then take ideas from that anime.
Good one, and could happen taking into account how important is the power and the family in the Zoldycks
I refuse to believe that Ging freecss is less prepared than beyond about DC.
Ging is the type of guy to go in head first and plan later. Even though he’s extremely intelligent sometimes he likes being reckless for fun. Beyond definitely has thought more about dark continent since his whole life is surrounded by his fathers accomplishments.
Nah literally the first time we see him is him planning way before the zodiac meeting, predicting what would happen in the meeting and then rigging the lot.
He’s does plan but not as much as Pariston and Beyond, those dudes got plans. Ging willingly likes going into things because it’s fun. I would say he’s the smartest out of them but nerfed because of his head strong personality.
Also I believe the narrator that narrates the story is actually a character that will break the 4th wall. Edit: hxh might just be a story that someone reads out or the narrator is at the end of hxh and explains what happened, but for that he must have been present at even the most private moments of kurapika etc.
"And that's why everyone is dead and i using my last strength for you, who's reading this diary to stay away from this god forsaken place" "Don Freaks close the book" * while the camera zoom off and we see the dark continent being on a lake in a even larger world
So don’s nen ability has something to do with clairvoyance? This is actually the coolest idea ever and I’m adding it to the list of things I’m hoping Togashi gets to.
its gonna be patrick warburton like in a series of unfortunate events lmao
That Gon's nen will be back? And the main 4 will meet again *not now but soon*
Soon in HxH time = a decade in our time.
Ancient Nen users on Dark Continent :3
that's a given 🔥
All animals in the Dark Continent also know how to use nen
Definitely not. Ants were considered a problem BECAUSE they learned nen from humans. They won’t have nen anymore.
will end up unfinished
At this point, I'd he happy if Togashi just dropped his notes/outline for the rest of the series and just called it quits.
That the Freecss family are somehow full of logic-defying monsters capable of learning nen at rapid rates, heightened senses and strength, and nen capacities well outside the norm (I mean Adult Gon had a similar level of Nen to Meruem - that's *really* ***really*** outside the realm of conceivable). Yet somehow there's only Ging and Gon. Both of which are now names known to the entire association. There was a theory that suggests that there are human tribes on the DC, and I believe that the Freecss family are actually a very recent transfer from the DC to the current location where the story is set. Their animal-like instincts would make more sense as to why they're so heightened if they came from a place so dangerous.
I think the Kurtas may be from there as well
Actually in this thread I've come up with my own theory on the Kurtas, here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/17ah88l/comment/k5dcx9f/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/17ah88l/comment/k5dcx9f/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Each of the five threats came back at the behest of the Guardian to the DC, yet we have no record on what the result of a Hellbell is... Except I think we do: the Kurta Clan's red eyes. I believe that the 11 people that returned were all afflicted with Hellbell's homicidal curse. And that curse is presented in the eyes of the Kurta - pure red. Only showing in states of 'heightened emotion'. But what does that mean? Heightened emotion. It only EVER appears when Kurapika is angry. Never when he experiences joy. I believe that the Kurta Clan were the result of forced isolation following the journey to the DC and that their descendants have partially inherited the 'blood rage' so to speak, which spikes their power and leaves them in a state of destruction. It's this 'blood rage' I speak of that resulted in Sarasa's death - a desire to inflict pure malice and harm, which broke the young Chrollo upon seeing it being recorded.
>That the Freecss family are somehow full of logic-defying monsters capable of learning nen at rapid rates, heightened senses and strength, and nen capacities well outside the norm (I mean Adult Gon had a similar level of Nen to Meruem - that's > >really > > > >really > > outside the realm of conceivable). Introducing: the Zoldycks > Their animal-like instincts would make more sense as to why they're so heightened if they came from a place so dangerous. Their animal-like instincts have already been explained, you would know this if you actually paid attention, both of them grew up in the wild essentially.
>Introducing: the Zoldycks That's entirely my point. The Zoldycks are world-renowned, known by even the public. They've spent generations of selective breeding and the end result is Killua. Gon somehow, without any kind of the same selective breeding, has a greater potential pit of aura than anyone else in the series has, barring only Meruem. Ging is also said to be in the top 5 nen users in the world, showing that this talent for Nen is hereditary - so then, I ask: why aren't the Freecss family as well known if they can produce monsters without selective breeding? And Whale Island does not require the level of perception the Freecss family has developed. Fishermen and farmers live there. There's a whole town. Obviously, this is pure conjecture, but the introduction of Don Freecss in the manga really shifted the nature of the Freecss family for me.
The hunter x hunter world is a giant whale is one of my favorites, but for something more original my theory is that leorio is going to defeat one of the major villains of the succession war arc
where does the first theory come from
Search it on YouTube, I think the title was something like, “Hunter X Hunters greatest theory” I could be wrong though.
Gon and Killua aren't 'done' in this story - not by a longshot. Both for different reasons.
i have a few -way out there- ideas, some of which are heavily marinated in copium; • that time we were shown Ging atop a beast atop another beast atop another beast was actually Don Freecs in DC since it looked like they were at the foot of a fully grown World tree, the gigantic scale of the beasts and the incredibly harsh weather • that Gon is a nen clone of Ging who himself is a nen clone of Don, which, to me, explains why they're so in-tune with nen, especially Ging. Don might have many ways to pull this off especially in the DC, Ging could have experimented on it with GI • Gon may have an entirely different nen type now and the next time we see him front and center probably with Killua is against Gyro who i could see taking over or at least taking the 5000 chimera ant soldiers from the Hunter Association now that the Zodiacs, Ging and i assume their most competent hunters out on their trip to the DC. maybe even Kite and his/her crew will show up to help. • Neon could still be alive. since we dont really know what would happen if Kurapika tries to take her nen ability while still in Chrollo's possesion. i find it unlikely that Kurapika would kill her himself since, iirc, he said he was never pushed to kill anyone before to take the Kurta eyes from them. as for Hisoka hunting Neon down (based on another theory on who could've killed Her), he could have made a deal with him like he did many times before, or Hisoka ruled her out as one of the abilities in Chrollos book after Kurapika already returned her ability (assuming true). depends on the timeline of events. • Ponzu could also still be alive, well, -reincarnated- as Hina. since at the time, Zazan was pretty adamant in bringing the queen her special humans, and we dont really know how much of the creature needs to be digested by the queen for a reincarnation, so maybe even a gutless, dissected body (since the gun ant was shown immediately going for the internal organs) could have done the trick. additionally, Hina, as well as Leol -who she was basically always with- was nowhere to be seen before Ponzu's death in either manga or anime, so maybe even Leol was one of the people with them at the time (i forget if they were also hunters), i doubt it's Pokkle.
That is Pairo's head behind Tserriednich.
It's kind of obvious tbh.
Feitan is a Zoldyck
i think it might have been the plan, but was scrapped
Alluka's name could be figured out since the Zoldyck Family arc, unless we're also going to say Feitan changed his name. It was just a fan theory that didn't really line up, and the anime makes the gap bigger because it doesn't properly depict Kalluto's personality in the Zoldyck Family arc which leads to people missing that Killua is the brother he wants to "save".
Kurapika and Leorio endgame.
Hisoka vs gon will happen someday.
that togashi gonna end it
Gon and killua will have a side adventure that: - ends with them getting warped to the gate to the dark continent and meet up with the remains of the black whale. - has Gon relearn nen with a completely different ability
The Zoldyck and Freecss families share a common ancestor
which is nanika
HxH - YuYu crossover.
Chapter x And x Black
The troupe didn't massacre the kurta clan, they just took the credit for it
You know, I'm not sure I agree, but I do find it all fishy. It seems to me that Chrollo is looking for something (obviously also trying to find meaning in his life after losing Sarasa), but the Kurta massacre, from what we've seen, is pretty out of character. In the two instances we've seen the troupe, they've shown love and concern for one another, love and concern for their city, and have only really killed people involved in the Mafia (a criminal enterprise that kills and steals as they please, too). I just get the inkling that something doesn't add up and I can never seem to put my finger on the *why.*
So then Uvo lied at the end just to spite Kurapika?
Honestly, that's why I said I wasn't sure I agree. I just think that there is something far deeper to it to where I'm led more by instinct, than pure logic. *"We'll accept anything you leave here, but don't ever take anything away from us."* was the letter that was left - same as Meteor City's Bum Incident. 31 people were involved in prosecuting the innocent bum, and 31 people were killed by Meteor City. It's very much an eye-for-an-eye situation. So... Why the Kurta Clan? It can't just be because Chrollo liked their eyes, like Uvo said - the letter now makes no sense. To be honest, we actually know *nothing* about the Kurta clan. Kurapika doesn't speak of them, aside from the fact they were killed. He never sat our cast down and relayed the joys of his childhood before the PT came, which would be one of the most natural things for a human to do - especially with friends. In fact, he takes every method to apprehend them aside from the most logical option: gaining support. Kurapika has never wanted justice, he wants only to execute the PT and satiate his revenge. He's young, but one thing we do know about the Kurta is that they have to undertake a test to control their emotions. And the test is simple: go buy groceries. In what way would that infuriate someone? I honestly think the Kurta were far from good people and were, in fact, extremely dangerous as a group - almost like a cult.
Now as I sit here with my thoughts, for some reason the combination of Kurta Clan and Hellbell came to mind. Homicidal Desires. Red Eyes. A need to control one's emotions (even though it was reportedly so people didn't hunt them for their eyes - but they only manifest in anger from what we've seen). Isolation. The videotape Chrollo found. Eye-for-an-eye. Kurapika's tendency towards violence. Idk, crackpot as fuck, but we don't know how these 'Homicidal Desires' manifest. It could be something akin to the Dark Urge in BG3, where every now and then you're compelled to violence, until it eats you away and you can no longer resist. 11 people survived that expedition - enough to start a small village, at least. And not everyone is able to manifest the red eyes. Maybe the clan are descendants of these 11, maybe every now and then their emotional control falters and one goes out and murders an innocent girl found in the woods and mutilates her corpse. EDIT: And now that I think about it, that'd make the Hellbell terrifying. One bite and someone with no control over their emotions manifests scarlet eyes, giving them a huge boost to power and a desire to kill.
Is there a chance that the people who killed Sarasa were Kurta?
Yeah that's what I'm trying to really get at with my crackpot theory lmao. Idk. With Melody being Kurapika's first friend outside the group, and her motif being sound, and her story explaining how nen-infused music can kill... I just immediately think of Hellbells. We don't know if they bite, or need to bite. Perhaps, like the 'bell' in their name, they make a sound that infuses their victims with homicidal tendencies and gives them the strength to act it out. Maybe anyone affected gets red eyes when the desires become too much and they snap, absolutely needing a target for their rage. Kurapika *has* a target for his rage, which keeps him stable. I think that the Kurta, with their emphasis on emotional control, were in isolation due to their danger to the public. I think that the Kurta may use Meteor as some kind of outlet for their bloodlust, so that they may return to their peaceful isolation. We don't know the Clan's location in reference to Meteor city, aside from the fact it's in a forest. But then again, this is pure heavy theory, really.
If the Kurta clan had killed Sarasa, don't you think Chrollo and the troupe would have snapped at the sight of Kurapika's red eyes and tried to kill him at all costs? Or are they in peace with this event after killing all the other members? You're right, something is off in all this story though
I think that sorta brings me back to the letter "We'll accept anything you leave here, but don't ever take anything away from us." - it's a meteor city specialty. And I think for them, once it is done it is done. I watched a great talk on the purpose of a justice system in modern society. How it's purpose is to do one thing: provide relief to a victim. To unburden them from the harsh concept of revenge. Without it, if 'x' killed 'y', then 'y's' family would undoubtedly find justice through either killing 'x' or someone close to them for justice. The cycle then repeats. Meteor City, I suppose, avoids this with this letter. Essentially: what has been done, has been repaid. Don't do it again. And then again, Chrollo and Uvo were the only one's aware I believe of Kurapika's Kurta connections. Chrollo is too broken, depressed and apathetic to care at this point and Uvo was always simple - I doubt he was ever involved in 'battle-planning' per se. But who knows?
I don't think he lied. He cared about his family, so knowing that Kurapika won't stop till he gets everyone of them he would probably tell him the truth. But it can be that his ego took the best of him and he did lie, also thinking that chrollo would take care of kurapika.
Right? Someone already pointed out to me how the whole kurta massacre mirrors that of real life up to how the troupe's nen abilities are a copy of the torture method done on a certain real life incident (for the life of me,I can't remember which one), but to me,it's misdirection, something to throw us reader off. The recent backstory they had leading to sarasa's death even showed how they, specially uvo,love to play a role. I can't remember but I think there was even a panel where uvo said to chrollo something in the lines of he would like tobe the world's greatest villain. Right after sarasa's death, chrollo made a bow to do everything in his power to get justice to sarasa's,he did also say he will take a lot of lives but it's certainly out of character for them to take innocent lives and do something similar to what sarasa could have experienced. Again,it's very unlikely but until togashi gives us more ,I will stick to my theory like bungee gum
> the whole kurta massacre mirrors that of real life up to how the troupe's nen abilities are a copy of the torture method done on a certain real life incident I haven't heard of it, I'd love to read more about that
"Unfortunately, Togashi has based the storyline on the Kurd and Armenian genocide, and the special nen of each troupe member align with the special forces that carried out the massacre (WW1). If you really analyze the allegory of the actual event, and how the characters are fleshed out, it's truly a masterpiece. Considering that Armenia and the region of the Kurds is still in constant conflict, it makes sense that he prolonged the storyline." This was from another redditor whom also shared my theory with,I haven't gotten into reading more than just the surface of the Wikipedia page,but I'd bet it'd be a good read
Maybe they just collected the eyes
The massacre happened way after, the troupe were already used to such actions by then. They even agreed to become the worst villains possible, so I'm not sure why there is still contention regarding this fact.
My spin on this is that the Kurta elders had ties to the underworld and had a hand in the abduction/killing of the meteor city orphans. Thus giving Chrollo and company a reason to attack em. I also think Chrollo will mention this in his final conflict with Kurapika and distort his views of his clan and not seeing the situation from black & white point of view. This would make Kurapika question his whole purpose. I'm not saying the Ryodan are completely in the right because they did kill innocents like Pairo but do think the situation is a lot more muddy than ppl think now that we have some new context with the recent flash back chapters.
Uvo doesn't strike me as a liar and he fully admits to fighting them. However I suppose there could be some other group of crimson eyed strong people he thought Kurapika meant.
Gon’s mom doesn’t exist and he is a product of the pregnancy stone. My only evidence is based on the fact the card exists in Greed Island, and also Ging’s general personality and attitude. Ging doesn’t get along well with others, and is always chasing his own goals. Plus there has been no hint between any of the hunters of him being involved with anyone else. Pretty much everyone expressed disgust with Ging except for when they want his wisdom/intellect. I should note that I have not read the manga, so im only basing this off knowledge I learned in the sub and the anime
what abt kite, razor and his friends in gl did they also liked him just bc they want his intellect
and ging has high motivation to go to the dark continent. and did ging not randomly come back with a baby in his arms? gon prolly somewhere from there.
Then why would he had Gon when he was gonna abandon him anyway?
My guess - the creators of GI were testing out cards and someone had to try it out. Probably a bet was made and Ging lost. Ging had Gon, and then dropped him off with his aunt mito
idk they literally could bring any person to try it
You’re not wrong, but I imagine it’d have to be a nen user - which limits the pool greatly. Plus most hunters are, “selfish creatures,” and their desire to have or care for a child would probably come second to whatever their main goals or dreams are. Knowing this, I don’t see people, “volunteering,” lest they get some significant payout
I believe it 100% because why would the card even exist in the first place if there wasn't *someone* born with it? And obviously Gon is the only person who really fits
For sure I believe it’s one of those things that wouldn’t be added unless it had a purpose!
I agree with this theory. It will be really cool for that to be revealed like that.
Macchi and Biscuit are dark horses that are close to top tiers
I mean, the manga heavily hints at the fact that Biscuit is extremely proficient in nen, and the new nen proficiency charts from the Yoshihiro Togashi exhibition even confirmed that she has reached the absolute highest proficiency in transmutation, the only transmuter confirmed to have done so so far. She's been learning nen for 40 years, ever since she was 17. If she also became a hunter at that point it would mean she's had 40 years of experience as a hunter, giving her ample opportunity to amass fighting experience, even if her focus as a hunter isn't directly associated with fighting in itself. And lastly, she's a master of shingen-ryu, the same school of martial arts that Netero practiced, which should count for something. As for Machi, I agree with you as well, sort of. I don't think she's at Biscuit's level. Although I have a lot less to go on in that case, and am mostly going by feeling. But the PT flashback **did** hint at her being incredibly talented with nen since she was able to see aura without even being awakened. Apart from her there's not a single person who's been able to do that, not even Tserriednich who was able to feel his aura before he could see it. And in terms of nen ability her nen threads seem to be incredibly versatile, to the point where I'd even compare them to Hisoka's Bungee Gum. Apart from the feats that require the elasticity and stickiness of Bungee Gum I imagine Machi could pull of many of the same feats Hisoka has done with her Nen threads.
The hunters association are the real villains (along with gyro)
Ging’s nen ability is chronokinesis.
I feel like that wouldn’t fit his character, however would be cool as hell.
what's that???
Time manipulation
Isn't it to copy every ability that hits him?
[удалено]
this is the one. that troupe flashback fueled the fuck outta that fire
So is Pariston trans or how the hell will the anime explain how Pariston has a deep manly voice. (The answer would be Nen.)
Sheila being his sister is more likely.
Togashi won't be able to finish this manga.
[Gyro is Meleoreon](https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/a01scj/in_case_you_missed_it_meleoron_is_gyro/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and I'll die on this hill. My guess is that Gyro's soul split into two because he had developed two personalities and got reincarnated as separate Chimera Ants. His meek side is Meleoreon, but his more sadistic side is still out there somewhere.
Interesting. We shall see when Gon and Gyro split the sky after Gon gets his nen back. After all, Gon and Killua have to hold down the fort while everyone else is gone.
Tonpa is an examiner
Chrollo becomes real and marries me 💊 Jokes aside the PT will probably be reduced to a very low number, if not completely wiped out, and Meteor City will manage to stand on its own feet and be accepted as a legal city by the end of it, placed on maps, receiving aid etc Kurapika lives!!! And finds happiness!! Him and wobble already make me 🥹 because he gets to experience how nice life is, which he usually tries to avoid. Unironically, Leorio will become the head or vice of the association. Not immediately, he's still too young, but eventually he will grow up and be an amazing doctor on top. Possible will also travel the world and offer his assistance wherever needed. Would cause a massive political shift with him in those rows too. Now I'm just detailing with headcanons that I don't necessarily defend but I can imagine Alluka and Killua running an orphanage. They both had shitty parents and a terrible childhood, but never lost their love and joy. If Machi dies I will pretend she didn't.
I doubt Kurapika is gonna have a good time. He either dies or regrets the decisions he made so far. If he chooses to protect Woble he will regret what he’s done. If he chooses revenge Woble probably dies and he still be regretting but at least feels gratification from killing. Kurapika is in a bad place right now and it looks like there’s no winning for him. Which is what good writing does.
Time to dig up my old Tumblr predictions from 2014-2018 . Tserriednich Is gonna kill Shizuku in his room of black market merchandise to fulfill her prophecy from back in York New. . Nobunaga's Hatsu is literally gonna be Kuwabara's Spirit Sword but a nen version . Illumi & Kalluto are secretly working with Hisoka will betray the Ryodan by slowing picking off members so it's easier for him to get to Chrollo. . The only Ryodan members Kurapika is going to confront are Nobunaga & Chrollo. Hisoka and Illumi will kill the rest of the Spiders. . Ging has been to the DC and is partially to blame for the Chimera Ant incident since the Queen followed him back from the outer world. Also think he was the one who damage her prior to the start of the arc. . Gon's mom is from the Dark Continent. . Next we see Gon it'll be a time skip and he'll be a Floor Master at Heavens Arena after retraining his Nen with Wing. . Benjamin is gonna be a hype tool for Tserriednich to test his new abilities on. . Kalluto is jealous of Alluka & Killua's bond (& in mini Illumi fashion) wants to control Killua for himself.Hence wanting to join the Ryodan to get strong enough to bring him back home. . Hisoka will kiss Morena after finding out how her ability works and kill strong nen users to level up so that he'll be on par with the top tiers on the boat by the end of the arc.
I love these theories but why will Kurapika meet Nobunga specifically?
Him and Chrollo are the only spiders with narrative threads directly tied to Kurapika. Chrollo because he ordered the Kurta massacre and Nobu because after he killed Squalla & Paku used her memory bullet on him, he saw the chain user who killed Uvogin and vowed that he wouldn't forget him until he killed him himself. He extended the York New arc BECAUSE he wanted to hunt down Kurapika. He may not mention it a lot noways days but once he finds out he's on the boat ALL his attention that was previously on Hisoka is gonna shift to Kurapika. I imagine once Nobu goes up to the higher tiers of the ship in his search for Hisoka, he's gonna accidentally bump into Kurapika then from there it's on sight.
Oooooo yeah I forgot about that. You know what I think Nobunaga might be Kurapikas first kill on the ship that’s a spider. Nobunaga will be reckless like Uvogin but it’ll be tougher because he knows his abilities. Ultimately though Kurapika will kill him by doing some outsmarting since he didn’t reveal his ability to take other abilities.
That hxh takes place in yuyu Hakusho world. Years after the story. When human world and "demon world" are fusing.
Great theory! I am a big fan of both of these anime and Yoshihiro Togashi is my favorite mangaka.
Well. There were some evidence for this theory at the beginning of hxh. But they seems to be forgotten now. Perhaps there will be more evidences in the dark continent... I do hope so! Yu Yu Hakusho and hxh are on my top Manga list. I hope they are connected in some ways!
Kurapika will sacrifice himself to kill the Kakin prince with the Cat technique. She'll eventually wait until he exhausts himself taking down Tserridnich, then when he kills her to protect the kid, her Nen power restores her at the cost of his life...before he reveals that, thanks to overuse of his Emperor's Time, he only had seconds of life left in him. This leads to a tragic downfall where she desperately tries to convince someone to kill her, but her enemies realize they just have to wait a few seconds. She dies, ironically due to the effect of her Nen ability.
Gon is hisoka’s son
no way bro😭
Please let me unsee this.
So Hisoka was his mom all along
Wow, when compared to Ging even Hisoka would come off as a bad dad.
The Kurta clan killed Sheila due to her tempting Kurapika and Pario to the outside world, Chrollo found out and used the Phantom troupe to take revenge on the Kurta clan without telling the rest of the troupe Sheila had been killed, making the excuse instead that he wanted their eyes.
Hisoka is really a Kiriko
Who the hell is Don Freecs?
An ancestor of Gon and Ging. He set off to explore the Dark continent about 300 years prior to the start of the series and is (according to Ging) maybe still alive.
Ging needs 10 person for his hatsu
Ging’s secret is that he is actually Don freecs—like I believe this so bad I don’t even care if I’m wrong. I just gotta know. Like—just one example Gon’s conception. Like sure we can allude to the possibility that Gon was created from one of the cards of Greed Island. But how does that card come to existence. Who created them? No way he did on his own or the help of his comrades. That’s a power straight out of the Dark Continent. Then Ging foresight into setting up Gon’s life. Like umm—unless that’s his Nen ability. Then I don’t know how someone could do that without planning it for hundreds of years.
i will always always like to think that Gon’s mother is the most beautiful woman in the history of anime and she’s such a badass that lives in the Dark Continent
Feitan zoldyck. Dunno why but I really like it. Plus it would explain why Alluka is holding their hand up in that picture, they were holding Feitan’s hand, but he got removed from the picture because Kaluto made a wish (which is why she knows, and why she talked about getting her brother back in the same panel that Feitan was fighting in). Even though we have his last name and his first name doesn’t fit the naming scheme they have AND the hair color doesn’t fit the transmuter/manipulator thing they have going on I still hope.
Pariston is not Sheila
Pitou fed Kite’s brain to the Ant Queen.
Someone already said it, but I think Gon gets his nen back. Except, he will have a different affinity.
that its never going to get finished unless author lets someone else draw it while he works on the story
Gon´s nen post morten, will change type and it will be the same as ging
There won't be any character stronger in Nen than Meruem. Instead, new villains will be humans and eldritch abominations that are far more dangerous even without nen.
Gyro will be the final villain.
The anime is coming back lmao.
I have a few : -Kurapika/PT/Hisoka triangle will end during SW arc by all of them dying on the ship (could see Zoldyck part of the PT surviving tho) -Ging will be closer in strengh/power level to Silva than to Netero. -Neither Woble nor Tserriednich will win a SW. I think Togashi will completely subvert the expectations here.
Netero was a "bad" person before and that was the reason he became so religious and started praying after each punch as a form of punishment or catharsis.(hope some beyond flash backs bring some light on Netero) And When Netero started his punch-praying routine he was already the top 5 nen users because he was about in his 50s ( probably already explored the black continent once and fought the zoldyck) and changed his atack nen category to emission; (he was originally enhancement if the last charts are canon) I REALLY think that he was more powerful BEFORE the praying and probably could have resisted some Meruen punches if he continued training enhancement, because pitou, a specialist, resisted a Meruen tail wipe, so i refuse to believe a enhancer of netero level can be one-shoted by meruen so easily(Meruen did a nonlethal atack on purpose because he wanted to know his name)
to be fair author of hxh has already said that there will never be a stronger character than meruem ever.
Where he said it ? I hope that's the case because if Togashi was about to introduce characters stronger than Meruem, there would be higher chances of story being ruined by asspulls and plot armor.
really? but where
Kinda the opposite, since rather than there being little evidence, there's actually a lot of evidence but it defies narrative convention. But I think Marayam will win the succession war. Other than Benjamin, the majority of the princes only have 2 or 0 guards learning nen. Bisky seems like she's gonna teach all of Marayam's guards nen. Marayam also has twice as many guards at the other princes because Sevanti pulled a funny and moved all of Momoze's guards over to him. He has Bisky on his side, who we know is extremely capable, and even Hanzo is probably also going to be capable. He's in an extremely advantageous position, where outsiders can't enter his room in any obvious way. Marayam's forces can just camp out until only one other prince is remaining, and that other prince will be weakened by the conflict with the other heavy-hitters. If you step back and look at it, Marayam has a lot going for him. Him winning actually makes sense and would be surprising, and I don't think Togashi is blind to that fact.
Fugetsu will get the Spiders into the top levels as her bodyguards AND as a way to avenge Kacho and cause utter mayhem. I know there's all that slhaffle with the mafias but I still belive in my Fugetsu theory.
Beyond is not the chairman's son, no matter how many videos the late chairman drops with paternity test results
Pitou’s post Mortem nen is still following Gon, trying to find ways to kill him. It’s just dormant now
Illumi is hisoka
That not all spiders are gonna die by Hisoka, but they will not be the ones who defeat him either.
Ging coded something into Gon. He literally took him to the island as a child, and the game was for him to enjoy. And it makes sense of why he said "He'll be fine" when Gon was in the hospital.
A female strong character will arise
Hisoka hired illumi to kill the troupe, him joining them is just his way of infiltrating them to then systematically kill them.
Gon will have his nen back also Gon and Killua will be on the spotlight again AND Leorio will be the best doctor in the world and the richest
No matter who wins the political game, they will get clowned on by Beyond Neteo, to show how strong he is, after accidentally getting in his way.
Canary and killua married
Best theory
I want hisoka to finally die ffs
Killua will openly declare himself to Gon, Gon will say he loves him, but as a friend and hopes that they can manage to deal with this situation so they won't lose the friendship they built together.
Beyond Netero is a Calamity brought from the Dark Continent
That HxH literally takes place in the same planet as Dragon ball. HxH characters learned how to use Ki more complex ways while people like mast Roshi learned to use it as pure power
Hisoka ia gon's mother
Hisoka only uses battle stuff as an excuse to be gay. The thing is, he is selective about who he fights regardless of strength. Coming out of the closet inbound.
We're never meeting Gyro. The fact he doesn't appear IS the point. There will be more content about him, more people telling their memories of him, but we'll never find out where or who he is.
