Anyway, a prediction: Perhaps Pariston will find out about Alluka's power and use it to his advantage? Now that more strict measures have been placed on the election rules, I can see him taking any measure possible in order to gain the chairman position. And not to mention that he should already be in a high enough position to fulfill any of Alluka's "pesterings" with little trouble......

Well, she asked that one butler to give his organs, which I don't think Pariston would be able to do.

I think frubam's post pretty much indicated where I was getting at.

It might not work that way, depending on what the previous wish was.

The number of people that die can be much more than just the attempted wisher and their loved one. How are the rest chosen? Possibly by association with the attempted wisher.

In other words, if you get somebody to make your wish for you, you are associated with that person, and you could still be on the chopping block if they fail.

^And you don't think that Pariston would be the type of person who'd carefully study the abilities/personalities of his opponents so he wouldn't make the same mistakes as the previous victims had? Considering that he was the only one aside from Ging who pretty much knew what made the other zodiacs tick, I think not.....

That may be so, but it's not like Pariston has to be associated directly with that person he uses, he could even convince someone to ask a 3rd party to do it, thus not having any affiliation with the 3rd party and steering clear of any danger. He has been shown to be a very manipulative character(though not more so than Ging =0p), I'm sure he'd think out a well-organized plan by thoroughly understanding how her ability works before he makes any moves.

Just read the chapter and i gotta say........I'm not sure......

It does look creepy indeed

But the problem is i didn't really understand if she does that unknowingly or not,if she's unconscious during the process i don't really think she deserves to be imprisoned,they should probably put some kind of a restriction on her nen ability(I'm sure there must be a way in their world,Kurapica's chain is an example).
But if she actually traps people on purpose,telling them to make a wish and then they end up dying,that sucks xd

[Clarste]

I think she's cute. I hope Killua takes her outside.

If you think about what kind of motivations she has to have to use such a power, she probably just wanted to repay people who do her favors. This is analogous to Neon and Komugi, who also got "natural" nen powers by simply wanting to do things. So she's just a sweet little girl who's really appreciative to her attendants and older siblings.

This lol



A chapter with several parodies mixed into it.

And going on how Alluka's nen works, seems like shes the only one in the family with specialization nen.

It's not a matter of "deserve". She has a condition that has to be managed, like plague carriers. Though they could certainly try to be more humane about it.

they should probably put some kind of a restriction on her nen ability(I'm sure there must be a way in their world,Kurapica's chain is an example).

The chain jail, you mean? Maybe, but it's described as a hax ability. They'd first have to enroll her in the Spiders, and that'd cause all kinds of problems... Plus, he can't do it forever. Kuroro's ability might work better, but then he'd have the ability, and who knows what would come of that.

But if she actually traps people on purpose,telling them to make a wish and then they end up dying,that sucks xd

Doesn't look like it. Anyway, it's not the wish that kills people. It's the pesterings.

[noktown]

Ye,but if you make a wish you gotta do the pesterings ;o

Not at all. You just have to catch her when she's ready to grant a wish, and leave the pesterings to somebody else. Killua did, for his upsy daisy.

Yup, agree that she probably doesn't have a real idea of the implications of her wishes and requests. A way out could easily be getting her to control herself.

But she would really be a god hack for an unscrupulous person.

Wow,for real ?I didn't even notice that in the manga

Gotta reread it again ;o

That's pretty cheap though if someone wished to be a billionere like in this chapter and then someone else would have to give her his liver/brains/w.e.
The wish maker is the one to blame in a situation like that xd
Should wait to comlete the pesterings

That's exactly what happened. It was a different butler.

i think that's precisely the reason why she's considered a monster: she doesn't have any control over her power, rather, she is actually controlled by it. She doesn't have any awareness of what she's doing, she's just being compelled to do it by her power

[ellifeedn]

I just realized something. The Godfathers of the Mafia are dead. Who is running things?

It's rather unclear to me how conscious is she. She is evidently conscious enough to tell Killua to make a wish. But it seems her own wishes are entirely driven by her power, so she has no control over it.

And when is she conscious? Her power has only two modes. There doesn't seem to be an idle phase in her life. But she also does not activate her power in front of her family. There are so many questions about her ability. Hopefully Togashi will clear them in coming weeks.

I got the impression that when she told Killua how to make a wish and all that, he was using up his wish by asking for information. The wish was to know "how can I make you go back to normal".

[Kanon]

Spoiler's out. Text hasn't been translated yet, but there are a few pics around.

Spoiler for 323:

Killua DIES



...not!



The little sister is super moe when she isn't inadvertently killing people. I feel really bad for her now. I hope Killua will find a way to free her from her power (by wishing her to become normal? )

[kakakka]

Wow. early spoilers.

Spoiler for 323:

Talking about wishing her to be a normal girl, I feel bad that she has to wait another pestering for that. And that maybe Killua's father only permitted Killua to met her for only one wish. And wishing for her to be normal does not necessarily removes her power/curse.
