Current Events > Wanna fill me in on what is happening in the Hunter x Hunter manga? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I finished the manga and then found out that Gon is basically no longer part of the series since he lost his nen to kill Pitou.

Killua is also out of the manga currently, off doing his own think with his sister.

I think there was a fight between Hisoka and Chrollo (Hisoka helping get him his Nen again), and Chrollo beat Hisoka, granted Hisoka let him choose where they would fight and Chrollo used that to his advantage.

The manga shifted more to Kurapika now?

Nothing is happening

I've actually been super curious where kurapika and brief case man have been since greed Island. I've only watched the anime tho

Lol, it's been almost 3 years since the latest chapter came out.

It's been a while since I read it, but I can talk about a few points. Spoilers obviously.

A royal family is having a succession crisis onboard a giant ship en route to the Dark Continent by way of battle royale between the children. Kurapika joins as a bodyguard for an infant participant because one of the other princes is in possession of the last set of eyes he needs to get back. Kurapika also unveils his last chain, which is a syringe that acts as a one-time ability copier as long as he's in Emperor Time. We also find out that the drawback for Emperor Time is it takes an hour off his life span for each second of use. If he overuses Emperor Time (like 10ish minutes at once) he can pass out with Emperor Time still activated, so he's lost like 10-20 years off his lifespan just from this arc. The prince that Kurapika's after is quickly being trained in nen, and he basically has King Crimson as an ability, minus the intangibility.

Chrollo and Hisoka had their death match. Hisoka lost and technically died, but he used Bungee Gum to restart his heart after death, and he got a power boost since nen can strengthen after death. He's partially made up of Bungee Gum now, since at least a foot was blown off that he's replaced using Bungee Gum as a prosthetic. Now that he's lost a fair match against Chrollo, Hisoka's trying to whittle away at Chrollo's allies and resources. He's already killed Kortopi and Shalnark, and he's also killed Neon too offscreen to remove her ability from his book. The rest of the spiders are also on the same ship as the royal family, and they're looking for Hisoka. I believe Illumi has also joined the Troupe too, along with Kalluto.

Some other characters characters like Bisky, Hanzo, and Melody also joined the royal family battle royale as bodyguards at Kurapika's behest. Leorio, Ging, and Pariston are also onboard IIRC.

^good summary without going into too much detail. I'll also add, though, that each prince from the royal family has what's called a Guardian Nen Beast. they get it by completing a ritual, and it's basically a Stand. I believe the Prince (used as a gender-neutral term here; several of them are female) can't see their own beast or something?

Anyway, to shift the balance in the succession war, Kurapika revealed the existence of nen to basically everyone involved. he also used the syringe to awaken several peoples' aura nodes.

there are some really interesting nen abilities among the princes and their bodyguards.

some minor qualms:

he's also killed Neon too offscreen to remove her ability from his book.

as far as I know, it's not actually clear that this was done by Hisoka. the Nostrade family has many enemies. it could even potentially have been her father that killed her; as Neon might be considered worthless without the ability.

The rest of the spiders are also on the same ship as the royal family, and they're looking for Hisoka. I believe Illumi has also joined the Troupe too, along with Kalluto.

if I remember correctly, Illumi was actually hired by Hisoka to work with the Phantom Troupeto kill him. Kalluto is actually part of the troupe though

Thanks, like I said before it's been a while so I'm a bit fuzzy on some of the details. Couldn't figure out when to bring up the nen beasts, since most of them aren't relevant yet.
