! I was always under the assumption that transformation nen let's you only transform your aura into something but as it seems you can transform yourself with it too.
! Bisuke can transform herself to a kid.

! Bisuke can transform herself to a kid.
! This seems too extreme somehow for transformation nen (which we've always known to only transform aura).
I think it's got to be some kind of materialization nen with specific conditions that turn Tsubone into whatever it is she materializes.
! Well that seems more plausable but still that would be also a pretty extreme form of materialization.
The most safe assumption would probably be that it's a mix of different nen categories

it seems tsubone can transform into all sorts of vehicles.
@Oga:
! Huh….I actually quite like the whole motor vehicle look Tsubone's going for. It really accentuates her figure.
Wait that's…...uhm......what.....I
Confused !

Welp. Just when I thought this couldn't get any weirder.
! First time we see someone change into something else right ? (besides Biscuit's and Gon's special cases) so it really gives a new lease of life to the manga.
! It being weird or not doesn't matter. It's funny, way too funny.

lollin' hard
So, it's really true.
Man, i want have a granny like that
! Well the special thing here isn't so much that she's transforming but rather that she's transforming into an object.
All transformations that we've seen were more like body modifications
! Well that seems more plausable but still that would be also a pretty extreme form of materialization.
The most safe assumption would probably be that it's a mix of different nen categories
! That seems most plausible, yeah.

Now that you mention it, true. Thanks I didn't pay to much attention so I didn't notice. But another 2 pictures have been added again which seem legit.
! That's gold, Togashi. Gold. Just hilariously awesome.
! Also, I agree with Silence. The blimp one is a fake, the face is definitely shopped upon closer inspection.
What about tue comment on the bottom of the last image? Tell me it's not what i fear please..
So, I translated this and all kinda stuff 'dun happen.

Actually now it's turned into like a sting operation… And not much else.

So the last page is just editorial bullshit ?
So Killua moves at 66+ m/s? lol
Since it's 40 km to the next town, and he managed to get there in less than 10 minutes…
! Amane and Canary make quite a good comedy duo. Good chapter.
So Killua moves at 66+ m/s? lol
Since it's 40 km to the next town, and he managed to get there in less than 10 minutes…
But he had to run through the forest instead of along the road so it could have been more or less than 40km. Still another great chapter and can't wait to see more of the elections

He should still be far faster than that. Even if we say that it took him 1 minute to cover those 40 km, it's still less than 700 m/s. I don't think that him running in the forest can explain it.
a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 220,000 km/h
Well, Killua IS supposedly traveling at the speed of lightning.
So Killua moves at 66+ m/s? lol

66+ m/s is still damn fast.
hmm, by "misses" does Illumi mean the butlers, or the comrades he think Killua may be calling. (which Killua has done) I'm assuming it's the butlers since he says they were missed. (in the forest)
I hope Illumi and Hisoka kill those 3 hunters, free up some space for Leroio, Biscuit, and Ging. The black one seems to be Lupe, who is also in the top 16.
Awesome stuff this chapter. Lol Hisoka…shy?

Everyone has their flaws~
Hiso-Hiso just has poor skills with people~
Great chapter, It seems everyone wants something from Killua.
I picked up HxH about a week ago, caught up in a few days! Just couldn't stop. This is some of the absolutely best shonen stuff I've read.
For example, all the things that the characters take into account before making their moves, the nerd in me and the fight loving boy in me get all they could ask for from this series.
I guess I'm lucky that I didn't have to go through the hiatuses, your comments about another one being around the corner scares me!
Newest chapter comments:
That granny is full of suprises… haha I did not see that coming
Killua is impressive as ever, planning ahead and using the commotion in the hunters association to his advantage, the boy's a Geeeeenius!
I'm loving this series of events. I'm predicting that the support certain candidates get from actions involving Killua's movement will take away votes from Pariston over time. I don't know if Togashi will make Leorio actually win, but if that were to happen this would probably be the 'how'.
Looks like the author decided to weave Gon's recovery storyline directly in with the candidate elections. That was a good move so now both can be relevantly covered at the same time rather than jumping from one unrelated event to another.
Pretty good. I like how Togashi integrates Killua's quest to save Gon and Alluka into the Chairman Election plot. Didn't expect other candidates to play an actual role. Seventh and two thirteenth places sure are worth something. Although, I might start worrying about Illumi.
And Tsubonebike was just hilarious.
It's even a little disappointing that there are two chapters left before Togashi goes into the next hiatus.
You guys are totally jinxing us with this hiatus talk.
I think anyone who says there won't be a hiatus would be a bigger jinx.
Yeah it seems they never heard of the term: self-fulfilling profecy.
Keep sayin it enough times and your wishes might be granted.
That said, this is a great intermezzo arc, I wonder what he's preparing for us next.

Lack of optimism makes me sad. Well, even more so, being at work already.
Anyway, good chapter. The plot is tying the two story points together, and we get some good old wackyness with Motorcycle Nen abilities. Meanwhile, M. Bison Jr. and company are on the hunt for the needle zombies. And Hisoka is expressing his shyness… yeah, right.
I wouldn't call this a lack of optimism.
We haven't been given a reason to believe why Togashi would change this time.
i just don't see togashi changing his ways. he's slow at churning chapters:
1. for health reasons
2. because he wants to lead a more balanced life. he probably draws 6 hours a day in a leisurely pace with little assistance. it's a lot of work but doesn't cut for a weekly. the rest he spends with his waifu, children, dragon quest, etc.
3. he needs time to think through the plot. hxh is more complicated than many other mangas. for example, other shounen can just pull random abilities up, but for hxh togashi has to think of many other factors like nen type, how the ability can be achieved through the nen type, etc.
i don't see any reason why any of those above will suddenly change (without sacrificing the story). well, except #2, maybe togashi can be more motivated and spends 10 hours or so a day drawing. but that's not enough to make hxh weekly
I wonder what he's preparing for us next.
Yeah I wonder when we we'll reach the ominous Gyro

Sorry but 6 hours is nothing xD… typically people work 8 to 10 hours a day. In the gaming industry twelve hours or more during crunch is also pretty common.
The thing is mangaka that are serialized in a weekly magazine usually have an even more gruelling schedule than that. There are some leaked working schedules on the net where some mangaka show how they only get to sleep 3 hours safely on some days (there are a lot of standby hours on a couple of days where they have to be reachable by their editor so theoretically they could sleep there but I don't know how many risk oversleeping a phone call).

yeah lol, forget the estimation i made. but you get my point right
I'm sure he's perfectly healthy; have we gotten physical proof that he's ill in any way? I work 40+ hours a week, and attend school full time. All other Manga-ka churn out their series on a consistent basis; in fact, there are several who do two series. Hiromu Arakawa, for example, has two currently running series: Silver Spoon, and Hero Tales, which are serialized monthly. These hiatuses are just ridiculous. The guy who writes Kochikame has been consistently writing chapters for the series for 30 years now and has not missed a beat. And as much as people bash him, Hiro Mashima has never missed a beat, and has consistently even done color spreads and even double chapters without missing a beat. Fault him all you want, but Mashima has a solid work ethic. What it boils down to is just Togashi being lazy.
^i read in bakuman that age is a consideration when serializing a mangaka. put it simply, the work is so hectic (even with assistants) so editors prefer younger writers. togashi is 44.
anyway i am not excusing togashi, i'm just saying that there are other reasons other than sheer laziness. he cares about the manga but he wants to work in his own pace and i respect that.
for reference, here are some of his jump toc comments (from moon-chase.com):
Because I have two children, it is hard for me to get anything accomplished in the morning and I have many long nights.
He thanked fans for their patience with him, and feels that since the 22nd volume of the manga, that his linestrokes have been strong and he is able to draw better than he could before. He finds it frustrating that sometimes he discards a lot of drawings that don’t turn out correctly, but he is sure that all his readers like this higher quality work of his.
Man, i´m all psyched for Tsubone. Do you think GrannyCyckle is her only nen ability or she has all-round metamorphosis power?
Didnt we had the same discussion when togashi reached the 10chapter-mark? That he will definitively go into another hiatus, because he never publish more than 10 chapters in one go?
And nontheless, even if he goes again into hiatus, it doesnt mean, that it will last so long again. Maybe just a month or two.
Did Tsubone herself turn into a motorcycle? or is that her materialization nen?

Well he did 20 last time.
It's obviously specialization, the thing that can partake of many different types of nen while still being unique. Shit's stand-y.
Another great chapter indeed. Good to see the integration of the three electoral candidates who want to reform the Hunter society. I really hope those three don't die, so far their political stance has seemed most interesting out of all the candidates.
When Illumi said "hunt 'the misses' for me" I'm guessing that Motor-Granny is next but that could just be a mistranslation and refer to Alluka.
Cleaned version just got uploaded to mangastream:

She turned herself into the bike since you can see her speak in that form.
Hioska is going to kill all the butlers at this rate.
I think Togashi went a bit nuts in this chapter.
The persecution has become kind of comical. It reminds me of the movie Catch Me If You Can. I can perfectly imagine the intro of that movie with the characters of Hunter x Hunter LOL
I mean, the moto-grandma, Killua piloting an airship, the sudden stupidity of the servants who neglect Killua, letting him escape. It was funny, but it really contrast with the seriousness of the last chapter (the death of Gotoh).
I wouldn't call this a lack of optimism.

Hisoka speak is awesone!
