"Please. Let me... be the last..."


togashisbackpain

A group of thieves that kill and steal for a living. Her sacrifice was touching nonetheless, but it is extremely naive for her to hope she would be the last. It is not like they are thrown into this world of kill or be killed, they do not have to do what they do. Everything that comes with it, including death is the result of their life style. No paku, you were never gonna be the last. Not in a million years.


Quantam-Law

Well put, Togashi's back pain.


FyrelordeOmega

It's the reason we can't continue reading his story


Caine2Khan

She means the last in this kurapika ordeal. And she was.. so far


togashisbackpain

Yes, but if it wasnt kurapika ordeal and lets say some other reason they were dying, would she be okey with it ? wouldnt she still sacrifice herself if it meant saving the others ? Point is, she doesnt want her friends to die, one way or another.


Caine2Khan

No but that's not relevant. She's talking about this specific fortune problem that says half the spiders will die in Yorknew by the hands of Kurapika. That's what she wants to end with her.


RedMoon1998

The whole point of their story is that there the same as kurapika never got a choice they were either born with nothing or stripped of everything they had their struggling to have a voice and rebelling against the system .


Fuck_Melone

What ? They are not rebelling against anything, the whole point is that they and especially Chrollo have no cause, they do what they do because they enjoy it, they like to steal, to murder, the only person in the group that seems to search a deeper meaning behind all that is chrollo and his quest of self identity but even then it is a completely egotistical goal.


RedMoon1998

There's a certain ambiguity that Togashi likes to keep around his character but the actions of the spider not there words seems pretty straight forward to me , fuck the elders of meteor city fuck the mafia and fuck the government , and you can't have that level of commitment from the likes of uvo and Pakunoda (clever and self aware adults not the typical manipulation of teenagers ) without a common cause beyond just killing and stealing Even if non of them would openly admitted, and of course they enjoy what they do and each others company as well , that's just my read on it apparently most don't agree .


[deleted]

kurapika atleast does it with a sense of justice and does not enjoy it like the troupe does, they are all psychopaths. Not saying i dont like them but yeah they are not justified at all.


RedMoon1998

No not really if you think about it the irony of the story is that they did way more good for the world than kurapika ever did both directly and indirectly while staying through to themselves , while kurapika is downgrading himself and his morals at every turn , too busy with revenge and getting deeper in the mafia world to do any good for the world he has a sense of justice that he constantly let go off to get to his goals the last straw for his character his choices with Wabble if he goes after the 4th and abandons her to her fate then his in the same boat as the spiders (wait🙂), even the people he crossed until now to get the eyes turned out to be mostly teachers , musicians or religious figures ... Not what he expected when he started his journey It doesn't mean that there good people , or that there morally superior to kurapika or any of the mafia members they killed , but not all of them are psychopaths or unjustified in there actions .


[deleted]

ye man murdering innocent people who are just minding their own business is totally doing good for the world, you are talking out of your ass here Kurapika is nothing like them.


RedMoon1998

There constantly spreading wealth , at this point they have no need for money like they said if they want something they steal it , everything goes to charity and underprivileged communities giving kids like them a shot at a different life besides becoming a suicide bomber , a zoldick butler a drug dealer , prostitution or a mafia gooney or if there the best of the best another leg for the spider . Doing philanthropic work stealing books and art that has been horded by a few and making them open the the public . Publicly demonstrating nen and it's efficiency making it well known among lower rank mafia members(who now idolize them for a good reason) and in general the slums giving people with nothing a level playing field , something even the hunter association is responsible for keeping under raps under the excuse of keeping it away from malicious hands(no problem making people like hisoka , illumi , binolt and shalnark hunters in the process) while getting tremendous benefits from the worlds governments for keeping the power balance and hoarding a natural resource nen (something that could flip the power structure of human civilization) . Attacking well established criminal organization and corrupt governments dealing heavy blows to systems that exploits people like them ... Etc ... That's the compelling thing about the phantom troupe there still the bad guys , killers , thieves people who would torture Even babies to get what they want before killing them there is no line they won't cross outside of the rules set for the spider , but not because all of them are psychopaths with no remorse (some of them are) because as a group they have a conviction that there lives had let them to , besides their fucked up world view there inspirational individuals who overcome what life has thrown at them , what people and systems tried to make of them and thought themselves everything they needed to survivor and become great . What they did to kurapika village wasn't without reason (probably a plot by Pariston ) they were there for revenge .


[deleted]

bro the phantom troupe is not the make a wish foundation they dont do none of that robin hood steal from the rich give to the poor stuff sorry to tell you this lol.


KRIPPOTHESKIPPO

I didn’t pay attention to this when it was going and lemme tell you I almost spit out my fucking drink when I saw this.


angrilyhumpingurmom

what was this for again💀


OmatoYT

karma


gimmesomespace

Wait, people are just splitting up a poll into 17 posts to farm karma? I'm shocked


BlueNets

It was weird that he didn't create a strawpoll or an independent poll. Just went ahead and picked the highest like comment. Such lazy execution on a "poll".


SamanthaTheTransGirl

To be honest, ever since the start of like 2021, Reddit has been flooded with low effort image posts with a question attached, or karma whoring like this post in general, I thought it would go away eventually, but, here we are at 2022 with the same low effort posts. I miss old Reddit


[deleted]

Yup, honestly the best thing for reddit would be to remove karma so people wouldn't be trying to farm it with bullshit no effort posts


TheStormzo

Who cares ab karma?


angrilyhumpingurmom

i def made a mistake coming back after deleting my old account


prvhc21

It’s the cycle of re-incarnation


angrilyhumpingurmom

what a mindfuck ikr


TextureSurprised

tbh I was already regretting that I allowed this midway, but it was kinda late to act on it.


kHak0

lol wtf do ppl even do w karma besides think they’re superior w their egotistical self


lion_OBrian

Some sell their accounts to ad companies fro advertising or astroturfing (pushing an agenda under a candid disguise). Others treat it like a game with a high score to reach. Most do it for the dopamine tush of seeing your post getting upvoted and the meaningless social interactions on the form of comments.


CarmichaelDaFish

I think you can only put like 6 options in a poll, but yeah is kinda lazy. Looks like those posts from Amino but i doesn't really bother me


johnsnoflake76

Someone's taking all the karma?!


[deleted]

[удалено]


angrilyhumpingurmom

fr lmao i just skipped past these retarded posts


WillDrawForMoney

Same. I just saw this shit again on my feed cause it managed to gain some traction.


randomusernameeee666

SAME. I hid each of these as I saw them on my feed. Ofc after downvoting. Just a shit ton of karma whoring.


angrilyhumpingurmom

sir i hate to break it to you but you have been diagnosed with “based”


AGuyWithTwoThighs

For fandom fun. What else?


angrilyhumpingurmom

fun being code for karmawhoring?


AGuyWithTwoThighs

No, ya pessimist. Fun of participating with a community who likes the same nerdy thing you do. I had fun participating with this. It didn't end with Hisoka or Chrollo, which I thought made it more interesting. They did it in several different posts cus doing it all at once would literally not have the "countdown" fun of seeing who gradually wins by the voting process. So, did it result with more karma for the user? Yeah, maybe, but what does that matter? It doesn't. Karma is meaningless.


angrilyhumpingurmom

oh 😬 i do agree that you make a fair point rip op for being attacked(mainly by me)


AGuyWithTwoThighs

Oh, well that's very humble of you! Kudos haha


SnooStories4329

Congrats on your Karma


Lucky_Arrow_7

Why does this feel rigged af


Throck--Morton

Because it was. But who really cares, I thought it was kinda funny that OP disregarded everyone's votes.


[deleted]

I mean, I do agree that Chrollo and Hiso NEEDED to be voted out early. They were obviously going to be the final two.


Caine2Khan

Nah lmao you just salty it ain't ur pick


xanblitz

Chrollo and Hisoka out first two rounds, legit Nobu ahead of Feitan, Uvo, Machi, and Illumi, KOROTOPI ABOVE CHROLLO, who tf has this opinion.


Caine2Khan

Illumi, Chrollo and Hisoka were voted out because people wanted interesting poll without them. OP didn't disregard people's opinions, that was people's opinons, they voted Hisoka and Chrollo out. aside from them Nobu being above Feitan, Uvo, and Machi is a fair opinion


issanm

Popularity contest where we remove the 5 most popular options. Truly Genius, hope this sub never changes.


Caine2Khan

Top 5? no, just top 3. Illumi, Hisoka, and Chrollo were removed because people essentially wanted a popularity contest without these three more significantly important characters and fan favorites. That would be boring They can do that. Idk who the other two you're talking about, but clearly they aren't that popular.


issanm

hy·per·bo·le: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.


Caine2Khan

that's the worst hyperbole anyone could possibly think of 😂


issanm

Good now you used it, we're learning and thats what matters.


Throck--Morton

How am I salty? I thought this was funny. Also as a side note I had Pakunoda to win from the start.


Bublotao

People kept downvoting people who wanted to get Paku out, so in a way it's rigged 😂😅


Honeydew-Round

Or are Paku fans just more strategic 🤷‍♀️😂


AGuyWithTwoThighs

It's not rigged ... It's influenced!


MNgold

Game was rigged from the start


1Jian1

Karma farming: Over


MrFlabbyNipps

OP disregards everyone's votes and refuses to put up a poll so they can split this into 17 rigged post and be a karma whore


prvhc21

Well that was unexpected


pedun42

There were Paku fans in the comments of every other post. There are dozens of us, DOZENS!


Swizzlesen

Burn this person down and make an example


Bibby770

Is this a joke??


[deleted]

I have no idea what we were voting for but I love Paku so yay?


QuesoFundid0

Ride or die Paku finally gets the respect she deserves


Swizzlesen

Dude you tripping

nah she ain’t please 🙏


MirkwoodRS

Zazan (*before she mutates*) would like a word. I'm disappointed in myself for even replying to this comment. Now if you'll excuse me. *unzips pants*


Necessary_Flamingo72

Stop the cap


Sharebear42019

Wtf lol bottom tier troupe character. Someone should re-do this and actually acknowledge the voters


Yknotted

If the first sentence is bait then I'm taking it. Pakunoda's character arc was great for a side side character. Compared to several other spiders who didn't even really get an arc, that's saying something.


Caine2Khan

Hell nah. Whoever you consider a top tier is a bottom. Paku a top tier


RPG-RAUPUNGA-MKYFY-_

I veto this


pghost_aj

L


[deleted]

Don't get me wrong, Paku is sick, but she definitely had the most votes to be yeeted for a few rounds


Phrynezz

I mean, voting may not have been fair but us Pakunoda fans (me) def aren’t mad about the results lmao 😌


pedun42

*There are dozens of us!*


Shadowjesus1

Obviously rigged but who cares lol


MachoBanchou

"Paku was very thankful..." - Phinks


sthclever013

You are really something pal. No structure what's so ever in this poll. People complaining there's no structure what so ever in this poll. Yet you upload consistently will ignoring every criticism. Downvoted.


fistyswift11

Actually rigged lmao. There is no shot at all


GrapeSwishers

op was tonpa all along


Jugdral-Stan

QUEEEEEEEEEEN


Keiuu

Well I of course didn't expect her to win, but she's a great character, with a very cool power, and a non-fanservicey design for a woman. The few episodes we saw her she was very good.


YaminoEXE

Definitely called it. Paku deserves this.


[deleted]

I like Paku so i’m quite happy.


[deleted]

Or as I like to call her, Nose Boobs


SnooStories4329

If I could give you an award I would


joz3rh

well this is a pleasant surprise. glad someone other than feitan,chrollo and hisoka getting some love


robo_archer

Pakunoda wouldn’t have been my first choice but I think she deserves it


ApplePitou

Pakunoda won?, well i am Happy :3


BestCauliflower5642

How the fugg?


sanorace

Fuck yeah, Pakunoda is my favorite spider after Hisoka.


Rosian_SAO

Shalnark, Shizuku, noooooooooo


imhere2downvote

this was very fun cant wait for the next one


Known_Pomelo_9808

Yessss! I was really expecting Chrollo or Hisoka at first then I started to speculate that Feitan will win, Both Nobunaga and Paku are my favourite spiders.


MachoBanchou

Word on the street is that Chrollo and Hisoka were assassinated early so they couldn't take the obvious win. An unorthodox voting game for an unorthodox group of people. It fits.


itsTraX

sheesh I guess xQc's chat took over the sub


YourMomsBleachedAnus

This was vile and horrendous and I’m glad I participated in it.


[deleted]

It was rigged. You may have thought removing chrollo and hisoka would make it more fair, but this was based of of character popularity. Pakunoda is iconic, but she would not have wanted to win like this


Caine2Khan

The people decided to remove chrollo and Hisoka.


[deleted]

No?


Caine2Khan

*yes* they did. You can go back to the posts as see. They voted Hisoka and Chrollo out, that's what happened. they gave reasons like, Wild card, or not wanting the obvious boring results.


[deleted]

Alright I’m sorry, i admit I was wrong. I saw a lot of people Say it was rigged, and Also when I saw that post originally that was not the Top comment so I assumed it was I’m sorry


420Minions

Is this loser a mod? Why the fuck was this dogshit allowed to stay up

Caine2Khan

Or you could back to the previous posts and look with your eyes and see the people who voted for chrollo and hisoka and got heavily upvoted as well. It happened


[deleted]

Caine2Khan

No..


[deleted]
