[SHINOBI-03]

-EPISODE 55-

Spoiler for Part 1:

Manga: Chapters 106, 107 and 108
Nippon's Adaptation: Second half of ova 1-1, first half of 1-2


Nobunaga's attack and teleportation





"Stop talking for a bit"





Machi did not note that she wasn't of what ability Chrollo used just now




Madhouse uses Hisoka's prophesy during Chrollo's analysis



"Sword of Law". The sword did not appear in Nippon's adaptation




Hisoka's erection boner "excitement" again...





Madhouse's adaptation did not tell us the specifics of manipulation that Shalnark mentions. Nippon's adaptation didn't show the debate on conjuration and manipulation during this episode, but moved it to the next one, but without telling everything

Panel 1:
- "A manipulator can only exert his power through people or objects, so he can never be without his weapon of choice." - "The object would need to be something he's used for years, or it won't be as effective." - "Losing the preferred weapon is often fatal."

Panel 2:
- "Oh, yeah. Conjurers have to do lots of image training..." - "... but once they've learned that, they can make their weapon appear at will."





The explanation of Hisoka's trick in the manga was done by the narrator. In Madhouse's adaptation it was in Hisoka's thoughts, but what wasn't mentioned was Hisoka's awareness of Pakunoda's first ability, but not the second, and Machi being the only one who knows about his Texture Surprise ability but she doesn't know its full capacity. Of course this wasn't clear in Nippon's adaptation because it omitted Texture Surprise since day 1 and it was never named or brought up. Plus, this scene was omitted from the ova.




The analysis of the rest of Hisoka's prophesy is filler



And as usual, no Miluki




Neon's scene is filler



BTW, is there any idea who is this?

Spoiler for Part 2:

Madhouse didn't show us this face




Kurapika's face was creepier in the manga





Nippon's adaptation omitted this joke




Killua's question to Kurapika was omitted from Nippon's adaptation




Nippon's adaptation shows us the hook instead of the finger, while Madhouse shows us the effect it had on Uvogin





The dagger looks too big in Nippon's adaptation





Some notes on Kurapika's ability were not mentioned in Madhouse's adaptation

Panel 1:
- "This condition was necessary..." - "... because I'm a conjurer." - "Using the dagger and forcing rules on others are manipulative and emissive abilities."

Panel 2:
- "I cannot use them under normal circumstances." - "Once the conjured chain leaves my hand, it would become too weak to be useful."

Panel 3:
- "Staking my life and limiting the range of the attacks..." - "... were strong enough conditions for chain jail."




This whole page was not shown



More omitted information from Madhouse's adaptation

Panel 1:
- Gon: "But if Pakunoda catches me again..."
- Kurapika: "Yes, she would find out about me."

Panel 2:
- "So, what kind of rule would it have to be?" - ""Don't let Pakunoda touch you at all?""

Panel 3:
- "But you could be..." - "... killing yourself prematurely."

Panel 4:
- "She might not read your memories as soon as she touches you. And even if she did, we could get rid of her before she told the others." - "Why throw away..." - "... a chance to strike back?"




The prophesies of the ones who are going to die. The manga showed Hisoka's along with them. This scene was omitted from Nippon's adaptation.






In the manga, Phinks joked that his team that have Feitan and Kortopi is the "Non Data Team".



"Just a hunch"





Kortopi speaks for the first time here in Nippon's adaptation, and he's voiced by a female

An okay episode. The only problems with it are the missing information about Hisoka's knowledge and Kurapika's abilities. Nippon's adaptation didn't go without missing scenes as well, but the ones they omitted were more important.
