      @RobZilla:

      Yeah, well it would make sense if it was used as a last resort.

      If Chrollo's master strategy has failed then why not try using that kind of Ace in the hole?

      That could be reason why he doesnt risk with antena anymore, keeping it for worst case scenario.

      Its funny that I have hard time waiting till tomorrow - One Piece was on break and we have MHA being most interesting that it was till now and finally we have Hisoka vs Chrollo getting into intense part where one of them can really die. Its safe to say that 2016 is good year for mangas.

              I'm the one that said that HxH would go on to the end last non hiatus season.

              I'm the one that thinks that Monet and Vergo are dead.

              I'm the one that believes that Shokugeki no Soma will save itself from it's villian.

              I'm optimistic, about manga.

                  I'm saying the same thing about HxH this season. OPTIMISM!

                    Toriko is either ending this year, or, they're going into space and exploring alternate universe shit after this current battle/arc.

                      Yes, yes it is. Shonen manga shouldn't be One Piece's length, it should be the exception, not the rule.

                      Toriko can't go on after this, his full course is almost done, going beyond Neo would be ridiculous. Just because space exist it doesn't mean that they need to go there.

                      Besides we skipped like 3 gourmet continents, that is the attitude of an author that wants to extend his series to space?

                        This fight has been great so far, even with the obligatory analytical fight cliche of "I saw through your see through of my see through etc." bit. I love that Chrollo is making such great use of this setting, and this is the 2nd time we've seen him be almost nonchalant in a life or death fight scenario. In his first real fight he didn't prioritize winning and now he seems more interested in the spectacle than the kill. He has a book full of skills and time to prep his strategy, and he chose ones that turned this fight into an elaborate game of hide and seek plus tag. It makes me wonder about his motivations and reason for fighting in general. Especially when you factor in his comment about humans and corpses. Anyways, my heart says this should backfire on him but my head says he's too skilled to lose.

                            Insane doesn't do justice to Hisoka… one of my favorite characters across any manga. It's so well depicted too.

                              This is why Togashi takes breaks.

                              The whole thing was an interesting read.
                              Does anyone know what's the 'parody" Togashi was talking about when the interviewer mentioned the Territories?

                                      Chapter starts by comparing a head to a bowling ball. That has to be good.

                                        Even if they all started running towards the exits immediately, it would still take some time.

                                              for some reason I still don't quite understand chrollo's abilities. HxH so far is the most complex manga I ever read.

                                                I get confused when reading the chapters for the first time, but after reading it carefully again, and again, you get to understand it.
                                                What is it you don't understand, exactly?

                                                  "Hold it, bub."
                                                  "No way, Jose."

                                                  Even without the other stuff, that alone would've made the chapter for me.

                                                  Eh, fuck it.

                                                    The ending of the chapter, I guess I have to re-read it from 2 chapters before it.

                                                        • Chrollo used convert hands on a random dude (convert hands = swap appearances)
                                                        • He attached a needle to his clone (Black Voice) and was controlling him to distract Hisoka
                                                        • He placed the Sun and Moon marks on his clones so that they don't disappear.

                                                            It's normal that a battle between 2 master tacticians last longer than usual…but I'm starting to miss the zodiacs and the preparations for DC. Just hoping Toga will not go to Hiatus after this battle finishes.

                                                                      Hisoka never said Chrollo lied to him, did he?

                                                                      Hisoka is saying "he misled me" which implies chrollo giving him misinformation.. although from what I can conclude is that it's just an obvious application on the sun&moon power.

                                                                            Go to crowd -> use "galery fake" and create clones -> use "convert hands" to change apparence with one of them -> use "black voice" to control that one -> use "order stamp" and comand clones to break Hisoka -> While Hisoka deals with clones start placing "Sun&Moon" on clones so they only disappear with explosion -> Use "black voice" to lure Hisoka into hunting the fake you -> return to "galery fake" to make more clones to substitute those without "Sun&Moon" -> ? -> porfit?
                                                                            I doubt it will work, but damn, Kuroro sure put a lot of effort on this plan.

                                                                              Hisoka destroying the clone army with a head was fun to watch, and I love how he's been able to keep his composure even though he's been bumrushed for the entirety of this fight. As far as the 2nd half of the chapter, the way I read it was Hisoka using Chrollo's explanation to create his options. The pertinent rules in this case were that Chrollo couldn't use Gallery Fake or the create a "Chrollo clone" part of Convert Hands without using both of his hands, Sun and Moon seals don't disappear, his bookmark can only let him use two abilities at one time, and gallery fake clones disappear when the ability is released. Hisoka is counter attacks based on these assumptions, but when he sees he only killed a "Chrollo clone" it means that Chrollo must have Black Voice active while he used the double hand part of Convert Hands at some point to make the clone. This should mean he had to release Gallery Fake, but the clone that Hisoka was using hadn't disappeared. Thus Hisoka realizes one of his assumptions are wrong. Sun and Moon seals don't disappear, and the clones that have the seal also don't disappear. Chrollo only mentioned the first part in his rules summary but conveniently left out the second, which is why Hisoka says he misled him. Somebody can correct me if I messed that up haha

The Chrollo in the ring had his book out, but when we see Hisoka hunting him in the crowd the book is gone and the clone is only bluffing that it's under his shirt. Since the CH clone doesn't get the originals abilities, we can assume it wasn't a clone in the ring. I have no idea what Chrollo is doing with time he gained with this distraction, but I doubt he's going to try hit and run style again. Hisoka doesn't get distracted enough by the mob for it to pay off.

If he can what I said is right, if not, the most likely, he used the second wave of clones to set this trap and the Sun&Moon on them.

                                                                                            As we see Chrollo use hit and run tactics with mix of few abilities so he is not very much into style. He is after certain victory, just as he stated.

I never considered that it would allow for broken puppets to stay around. Hisoka's in trouble; even if he dispels puppets, they've essentially converted into landmines.

Re-watching the series really makes me appreciate the direction and how high quality the show is. When episode 5 first aired, people were largely concerned about the changes from the manga. But after rewatching it, there are some really cool things present. Audio flourishes and stylistic choices like the red ring of slit throats, Leorio's badass stand, Gon's heavy breathing being the only sound long after Hisoka leaves, the disappearing sound of the footsteps when Kurapika goes into Hisoka's ideology and the last line of character dialogue being Gon's "Isn't that weird?"–all of these things are really cool directorial choices.

                                                                                                        They're both great but share their own set of problems. People should watch them both and love them both.
