But yeah, Hisoka proves that overwhelming firepower is not the end-all be-all in HxH, and that's counting on the fact that he did not have set conditions on his nen abilities like Kurapika did. One like Hisoka needs a LOT of imagination. Quote:

Well, it's just that people were wondering why Chrollo didn't kill Neon. A fact which has everything to do with his ability. And is the same reason he didn't attempt to kill Zeno.
There's like three or four conditions to be cleared before he can actually properly steal the ability, and then there's another three-four conditions to USE them afterwards. Specialist abilities are rather complex when they aren't outright weird (like Lovely Ghost Writer which doesn't fit into any of the schools). |

They'll probably change the ED once the Greed Island arc starts, though, and I hope the Chimera Ants arc gets an equally kick-ass theme by Galneryus. |

That Phantom Troupe became a bit too obsessed with those fortunes.
They were totally busting their heads trying to get info from Hisoka. Kurapika explaining how his chains work to Killua, Gon and Leorio. It was interesting info. Kurapika got Phantom Troupe very worried.

Hisoka is playing a (surprisingly) effective game of deception here, so the others (probably) don't know that he's a fake. One of his abilities is "Texture Surprise" which allows him to create an image indistinguishable from the real thing, provided that he found a suitable material... and god knows he's killed enough people to have real skin lying around.
...Though the prophecies clearly talk about the false fourth moon. That combined with Hisoka's already suspicious fortune really should get them more suspicious than they are. It really makes me question why Chrollo is taking it as a given that Hisoka is 100% loyal, but is prevented from saying more than he is. Yes, the prophecy mentions the sword of truth, and yes, Chrollo figured out what it was, but he also has a mind-reader on-hand who shouldn't be affected by anything that Hisoka can't actually say (that is, if he were actually bound by it).

As for who Kurapika can use the Chain Jail on, he wasn't entirely sure that Uvogin was a spider until he successfully used it on him. The way the scene played out, it looked like he was mostly sure, and was prepared to die on the off-chance that he was mistaken... Not dying was the unequivocal proof.
So, yeah, I also wonder what will happen if he uses it on Hisoka... There are two possibilities: 1. Hisoka is a member of the troupe, but a "fake" one because he is not loyal to Chrollo. The Chain Jail should work in this case. 2. There was another Hisoka before the current one arrived, and fake!Hisoka murdered real!Hisoka and took his place. In this case, the Chain Jail should kill Kurapika. Or maybe more.

Also, Hisoka removed the part about the false fourth moon. None of the other spiders ever saw that line. |

What have I been missing these past 12 months. My god, Hunter X Hunter just blew me away as I was marathoning it. This Spider Troupe Arc is just so damn good. It's so layered in terms of storyline and it seems like there's so much at stake here. And my god Kurapika. . . his/her development these past few episodes . . . the emotions that he/she's been going through is just so masterfully done.
