So last time, Benjamin poisoned Camilla, shot Tserriednich and I guess he is going to skedaddle out of room 1004 very fast and miss Tserriednich's trick.

I still don't know how Benjamin expects to win if he dies before Camilla but we'll see this today I guess.

This panel is not finished and it is pretty funny to look at hahaha

Ah yes of course, GOOOOO SALKOV

Ben is enjoying this a lot. He did guess Tserriednich was using zetsu to trigger something though he will never guess what it triggered.

Poor Balsamico, his loss really maimed Ben's team

Yes yes yes I know

Oh, so Benjamin knew about Tserriednich crimes, not a lot of prince seem to be aware of them.

Being head of the military definitely helps having some intel

It is too bad because he could have actually killed Tserriednich with poison if he used it in room 1004

Very interesting ! So Kurapika correctly guessed that Zhang lei's nen beast can use semi coercive manipulation and the ten coin is a trigger for one form of it.

I guess it is like money exchange, you can get a bonus from it but Zhang Lei can ask for a favor

And Balsamico will most likely be very frustrated about how things are going. It will be nice seeing what they have to say

I guess we are going to check on Tsubeppa and Taithon then ????

OOOOOOO Everyone at once ????

I think Tsubeppa's nen beast will be able to cure her once she collaborates with Kurapika and Taithon's nen beast might see the famous "taboo" triggered and release the aura in a destructive manner

Poisoned !!!!

And Taithon has some dark humor, I am surprised, we have not seen her much so it is not very surprising.

Tsubeppa is not dumb and really thinks the end of the succession could be a good thing but only once princes 1 to 3 are dead. Make it 1 to 4 and we can talk.

Also nobody expects Ben to lead as anything but a military dictator except Taithon. It is nice to have very contrasting princes here.

Wait ! If Ben conducts an examination of room 1014 with Benjamin, her nen beast might trigger her ability ???

Oh that would be nice

They are on tier 3 now ?

Are the prince plots for the martial law really done on tier 1 ?

I am eager to learn more of COventoba and Balsamico's experience

More fanatism

It is a bit disapointing, I expected more tension

they are well trained soldiers at least

But still not as good as the royal guards

Halkenburg is that easy to find ? I think not but we will see

The coin's effects are for now just forced cooperation ? Okay, I hope we can see what a 100 coin can do.

And the Xi-yu family may fall from grace soon by losing its benefactor

Wow Onior sold the escape route quickly

So I expect Tserriednich and Tsubeppa to survive. I am scared what Taithon's nen beast will do. Camilla will struggle and potentially finally rely on her guardian spirit beast ability but ultimately die.

Didn't he forget about Marayam ?

Anyway Fugetsu might survive too. Kacho is here for her

Now, we see what Benjamin truly thinks about Wobble, I doubt Kurapika will get proof before Benjamin's death. So what could happen ? I don't think he can find her fast enough anyway but he will have soldiers who might follow his orders after his death. The question is how long will they wait ?

Okay, so Benjamin's nen beast will stay in the game.

It is more a curse than a possession too because it only says Benjamin will become it and serve as the guardian spirit beast of all future Kakin king.

He is rightfully angry

We will see how long his plan works

Soooooo

A new chapter comes out, a new day under martial law.

It seems that we are back in the lower tier, the army found the trick door to the Heil-yi

The mafia is going to eat good tonight I think.

Oh thank god we are still focused on Ben. We know he believes he killed Tserriednich, he must have been tricked by the parallel futures.

He is with Butch and Furykov, I wonder how all this will go

I recognized the outfit of Camilla's goons right away.

They appear to be so small but it is just that Furykov inherited the height of his father and Ben is a giant too.

The old maid is here. Does she have an ability too as head of the have-nots ?

Camilla is in a bad position and Ben knows about her ability. I hope we can finally see her nen beast in action even though she does not trust it.

RIP THE GRANDMA ?????

I find it quite unfair that a specialist can tank bullets like that. Most of the specialists we have seen struggled with enhancement (Meleoron and Chrollo). Leol was quite strong but his lion's parts helped and Pitou is an exception.

WHO IS BEHIND ? It must be the have-not responsible for Benjamin.

Okay we can finally see what this curse will do. I doubt it will be strong enough to kill him before the illness.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is a nice effect

I always wondered if the spirit beasts can protect their prince against some curses.

Beyond's curse is likely to be stronger but if I remember well, the have-nots charged of Benjamin have been cursing him for years.

Okay the illness will kill Camilla

this is okay

she will have some time to act too

Anyway that curse is nice but it does not appear to weaken Ben that much. I hope he will have even less time to survive, this will be challenging for him.

Camilla can slow down her metabolism for three months ?????

You can do that in Zetsu I guess

RIP Camilla

you should have had better offensive power, the gun is not enough against high-caliber nen users who trained in the fundamentals.

Tserriednich time !!!!

I wonder how Ben expects to win if he dies before Camilla. Wouldn't the successor be the child of the last surviving prince if they all die ? We know Ben has children, Camilla as second prince should have one but maybe not considering her personality.

It is because he sees the future and is not that stressed. He knows Ben is coming even without his nen ability.

That much was expected

Salkov is one of Beyond's child but he is not that good at nen or smart to properly analyze it I think. It will be interesting what he thinks about it.

I also only care about Theta.

Die for her Salkov for all I care but help her even the tiniest bit.

(I will cry for Salkov if this happens)

Ez

Ben's plan will fail because of an ability he could not foresee.

A nice Danjin has been practicing good.

WHEN ?

When will you recruit him ? After death ???? Do you still expect to be that much capable of free-will ?

RIP

We all know this was fake.

Glory to Salkov !!!!

Ben won't be the sole survivor anyway. Who will remain after all this ?

He did say 4 prince remaining. So Luzurus, Zhang Lei, Fugetsu and Marayam I guess.

I wonder if he truly believes Woble is still in the war ? Or Halkenburg ?

These flashback confuses me because I don't know when he said what.

But assuming 4 prince are still in the game :

Zhang Lei and Luzurus who hid among their mafia. Luzurus is likely to get betrayed by the underboss of the Char. Or he got abducted by Fugetsu, Melody and Kaiser. Zhang Lei is likely to be found.

Fugetsu is protected by the justice department.

Halkenburg is hidden in another body.

Tse tricked Ben.

Marayam is isolated in another dimension.

Tsubeppa never activated her nen beast, it is a shame.

After this chapter, it is likely that we are going to be halfway through to the next hiatus. Let's hope this next hiatus is short because it could be.

So we were following Luzurus being attacked and how he dipped when Benjamin's guard started rounding up everyone.

Kurapika was strategizing with Oito and Bill on how to save Woble (the actual one) and we got some nice cameo of the friends Kurapika can trust on (Not Leorio)

Now, let's start a new chapter !!

Oh wow, Furykov flashback

So his ability just spawn a videogame on a computer ?

I knew pc components are becoming more and more expensive but I am sure a soldier of the first prince should be able to buy one if needed.

This is OP if you can just exorcise people like that ?!?

Also, can you just get anyone's inventory ???

Like just in tools, it appears you have : plants, liquids, pills, magnifying glass, knowledge (books), curses, justice (balance ?), pen, fire, water, electricity and gems ????

Okay so he knows when he's getting attacked, this is pretty good

I did not expect FMA could be used on himself

I wonder if Morena's contagion has a similar interface.

So he knows the curse is targeting a prince, nice. This also means he can't identify his siblings through his ability.

WHAT

you can just be like : "i want more restrictions so people can't track the curse back to me ????"

YESSSS

He knows it's Beyond, I guess

LIEEEEES

BEYOND is lying so naturally

and he's being sassy too : "well why can't you use your ability then ?"

He's an annoying bastard

Wait, he can't reveal the target ? Or he won't ? That's not the same thing

I suppose it's the latter since he mentioned Furykov interrogating him in person

Well this is handy

he can do a lot with his ability

VERY INTERESTING

of course a curse that has been developing over 20 years would be powerful and intricate

Compared to that, the guardian spirit beast developped over two months I think

Much easier to analyze

Hahahaha

indeed you already are a pawn Furykov

But as Shalnark said : "he would die over following the orders of someone he does not like"

RIP

Will we go back to present times now ?

That would be too good to be true for Ben if Furykov's curse would kill Camilla

I forgot she was also considered a pariah like Halk

the fact the army never liked Halkenburg really makes me want to support him again

This is weird, we are day 11 and the timeline would not work if they would reach dangerous waters in 3 days ?

They would not get the reply in time

Yamato looks a lot like Japan, I thought Hanzo came from Jappan ? Maybe the translation is weird

I believe Yamato was an old name for Japan (yes it is, I checked and it was before 700). Yamato people are the main ethnic group in Japan

I love my talented androgynous child

he knows perfectly how to write a coded letter

I mean, he is not only smart but as experience working with the mafia so it is only natural.

VALID CRASH OUT

They chose to send them ????

Nice

Though Oito seems very fearful

Thank you Babymaina (the spelling keep changing, it is annoying)

LOWER DECK TRANSITION ?????

NOOOOOO I wanted to see the other prince, please don't switch to the troupe right now

Though I do love the texture on the Black whale

YESSSSSS

More Prince

Okay so Zhang Lei is safe

I don't know how the coin could have helped

Maybe the nen beast used the aura within to control Ben's guy

Well rip Tsubeppa maybe, I liked her

Her nen beast should be able to defend her

OoO

So Kurapika is her lab partner

nooooo don't go

Get Kurapika with you and your guardian spirit beast

Benjamin really is going to murder them all one by one

Taithon and her twink army are following due procedure, her nen beast might activate too

Ben really is crazy if he expects to come out unscathed with all these nen beasts, they can't attack princes directly but they are still quite dangerous

Also that guard is an idiot, I don't know why I thought he would win and we'd see Basho do some stuff

I hope we see more of this new hunter, he seems nice

Wait I fumbled last time and thought Yushohi and Chyamasi were in front of Seiko's room but nope. If it was an empty room then maybe Sale's Sale's ?? But why would they mobilize two nen users against Swinko Swinko ???

BISCUIT TIMEEEEEEE

YAY

RIP HIM TO SHREDS

Okay so she correctly assessed the situation and would like to remain in the room forever

It's still one of the shitiest nen ability from a guardian spirit beast

Like one use only ????

But then, they will never leave there until the end

I believe if Kurapika cancels the ritual then all nen beast will disappear at once

This will be so sad for Fugetsu

This makes perfect sense

I am too sad we won't be seeing Biscuit do much then

Okay so they're nice

Kurapika and Oito can stand protected

so this means Ben only got a hold of Tsubeppa, Taithon and Queen Seito, this isn't much.

And Kurapika correctly assumes they are reacting to something other than Woble's revelations.

this was nice

Back for some liveblogging !

I have been spoiled, at least I think I did but I did not dwell on the page to check it.

I'll mention it if I see anything here I already saw elsewhere

Are we going to see any prince death this chapter is the main question I have

Okay so this is Luzurus' room

One dead guard already

Two dead guards ! UNLESSSSSSSS

Whose guard are you ?

At least I am happy we did not change pov for this chapter

Okayyyyyy, so they were Luzurus' guards too, we are staying with Basho for now

At least Luzurus was smart enough to foresee this happening. He knows his brother well.

Yep that guy (hunter) is going to face an assassination !

Basho did not know that during martial law, the military prevails on the judiciary branch ?

Okay so the hunter caught Ben's guy red-handed, this is a pretty funny panel

Is Luzurus nen beast going to do anything ????

Anyway, I will bet a win for Ben's guy for now I suppose.

Ah yes, the guy who could not kill Fugetsu

okay so it's interesting that En basically only blocks attack coming from outside its range. Or maybe it's just the attack has to get through less aura (it's less dense than ken) and you can't even use gyo to shift the ratio because that would undo En. Also most nen users need to use Gyo to defend against bullets or attacks with similar nen powers.

HAHAHAHA, an ability that targets people who use En or Gyo is hilarious, very specific.

What about a tag team, does he mean someone using En to locate him and then bullets ???

I don't see how it is specifically a counter to his own ability ?

Okay, Yusoshi and Chiyamashi

Anyway, their target is the queen ??? Oh yes, I forgot Fugetsu is with Melody in the justice department.

OOOOOOOOO MANIPULATION CAN DO THAT

Is it like just manipulating any attack away from the target ?

like a strong telekinetic barrier

And of course it does not work against symbiotic nen, NICE

OKAYYYYYYYYY

Is Babymaina going to attack soon ?????

I am just noting that we need more info on Beyond's curse.

YESSSSSSSSSSS

YESSSSSSSSS THINK THINK MORE

I am sure this was silent majority but maybe it's Beyond. Also, how are you sure it is his only ability ?

Can the hunter association pardon someone ????

WHAT THE FUCK

HAHAHAHAHA

He is in love with you Kurapika

but jokes aside, I love Bill, I was going to say what Kurapika just said

such a lovable guy, please someone nice marry him and have his babies

I LOVE BILL

Nothing else to add

Nice inside info from Bill

Beyond is Isaac's son after all

And actually cancelling the succession ritual is a nice way. A lot of fans want Tserriednich to be King and win but I doubt anyone on the ship would let that happen.

That ritual needs to end someday anyway.

Why not now.

Yes, everyone assumes she is on board

TRUE that

No winner until we know what happened to her

WE NEED TO FIND AND SAVE WOBLE

are you going to ask Killua and Gon in the outside world (the spoil I mentioned earlier was that Gon and Killua might appear in this chapter)

NICE Pika

yep, how would she recover the child ?

Is Bill falling in love with Kurapika ? I won't stop bringing this up Togashi

And Oito is also thinking smartly

she did not expect a curse but witness protection under the hunter association might be a good option

I am tearing up a bit, thank you Kurapika

you are so precious

Who's that kid Gon ????? GON !!!! WHO IS THAT

Also Killua is still such a fashion icon

New Chapter is out !!!! Will Wobble (either gender) be allowed to continue the deadly succession war ?

Will Beyond win any legal case against Kakin ?

Let's dig in !

Is that Halkenburg's coffin procession ???

I thought we were going to see some form of decision over Wobble when I recognized the butler and saw the King a bit below.

We are already 30 minutes from the martial law enactment ???? SHIT

I am not sure I recognize Halkenburg from this far away, it even looks more like Benjamin.

YESSSSSS

So this confirms that this is the heart of the ceremony. These coffins can inform you on whoever is still eligible or not. Once they are dead sure but it still helps. We are not going to kill Wobble and put them in the coffin I assume.

All of Benjamin's men ????? Noooo, someone seems to be on a wheelchair. It would be more efficient to control random people with this ability.

Anyway, an arrow should not work against Ben because he's a prince and the guardian spirit beast's abilities are not allowed to directly interfere.

Ah yes Ben got poisoned !!! But we don't know his nen beast ability. Could it be a body swap with one soldier when he dies similar to his nen ability ?

RIP

you got outsmarted Ben

Is that Furykov ?

OoO

I am listening

Oh right, Halkenburg is one of Unma's children and not Duazul

Wait is Halkenburg, Beyond's child ??????

Anyway, Furikov is definitely one of his then

WAIT WHAT

Okay so they know about his beast ability

And it seems to trigger upon death which would cancel the curse on Furikov or trigger it but toward himself.

What about a god ???? Like an immortal human ? Someone strong ? Or smart ? A ghost ?

Would it allow Ben to become King or supervise the next one ?

Like Kacho's nen beast.

This is giving Meruem and his royal guards for some reason

HAHAHAHAHA FMA is his ability

So did he manage to decipher Kurapika's chains ? Or did he switch to Benjamin to analyse the Guardian Spirit Beast's ability and empower his prince.

Another specialist here

He is going to fail and die but it will be mayhem. Will any prince die ? I bet their guardian spirit beast will prove quite efficient at defense.

Okayyyyyy so yes, he will become a ghost

He won't harm the princes or hunter, this will be hard. What will Babymaina do ?????

So you have to become King anyway for the beast ability to trigger ?

Interesting

It will be interesting to see when, where and how your plan fails

Camilla might die but her guardian spirit beast is also a danger. It won't be able to control another prince but it can still be dangerous.

Tse will be a danger my dude, you underestimate him a bit. He's a novice but he's smart with a broken ability. Even if his nen basics are shit, he can trick you.

Okay so he's sending Rihan to counter Marayam's nen beast

Hahaha I look forward to seeing Saquelle meet his end by trying to face Biscuit and Hanzo at the same time

Rihan is with Tsubeppa, right.

Welp, shit it hitting the fans

Benjamin will most likely die in a few chapters with his last gambit. I just don't know how many prince will die. We might see some interesting conflict.

Who would be the most likely to die ?

The one in Zhang Lei's room seems to be having a hard time. I think it would be interesting of one of Kurapika's allies died. I am goint to be wrong anyway so let's say:

Zhang Lei, Marayam, Camilla, Tyson and Benjamin all die.

This would leave Tse, Tsubepa, Halk, Fugetsu, Luzurus and (Wobble ?)

But if Ben and Camilla both die, Zhang Lei would become the eldest son and that could be interesting. Although, having Tse as the oldest living prince, is another good option.

I have trouble seeing how Marayam could die when he's protected by two skilled hunters. Same with Tyson and Izunavi.

I am so happy I can do this weekly with nex content.

Now, let's go for a good read !

Wait, we are still before the martial law announcement ? I forgot what happened at the same time as this.

Urgh, Togashiiiiii, the non-linear story telling can be tricky with hiatus

Especially because I did not reread the arc this time.

Not a lie

I am sure of it

OoO

This lesson will be cancelled by the martial law announcement ?

So Kurapika might be waiting for some dna test to be back to prove Woble is not a viable successor.

Hahahaha Oito is really quick to disprove this.

I am pretty sure he doesn't have to lay with you. That would be a criminal offense but sperm could be inseminated secretively.

I missed Oito and Shimano talking ! Please mooooooore

more interactions with these delightful ladies !!!

Also Beyond is way more attractive than the King of Kakin. But judging by his guardian spirit beast, the king must be a great lay in spite of his appearance and age.

YESSSSSSSSSS

My god Togashi answered my prayer

I want more Shimanooooooo

MORE

Really cute name: Shimanö. I don't know how they want to translate it but I am just going to use my french keyboard to its fullest and put a random accent.

Shimanô would be another option.

And Bill wants to dig in on Woble and mention we have barely seen her spirit beast. But I remember the first trial with all the nen beasts and we still have not seen the jellyfish. Unless it was Kacho's unformed nen beast. I always believed they would be Wobble's. Jellyfish lack a nervous system and it would be fitting for a baby.

OoO What kind of question is that Kurapika ? If she were transgender she would also answer this way anyway.

KURAPIKA

OH MY GOD WHAT IF SHE CHANGED THE CHILD

WHAAAAAAAAT

TOO SMART

SHE HAS TWINS ???????

MAYBE

????

THAT BOMB

SHE PUT HER AWAY

Or hid her maybe ? That would make sense

but who would be trustworthy enough for that kind of job. She did not even know other queens put spies among her guards ????

Oito is so smart anyway

And whose boy is that yes ?

But wouldn't her daughter die by not getting on the Black Whale. Like how Kacho died ???? Or maybe this only triggered after the ceremony.

Because the ceremony is what started the time limit of two months.

And Babymaine was here ?????

Okay, this is getting very fun

Nen class resumes

You wanted more drop outs ????

What kind of plan was it then. Because forming new nen users directly translates to more equity between princes and less chances for murder.

Oh I get it, so you think you're going to get targeted anyway

Also, why did Oito's sister accept to give one of her sons ???

This is such a mess

but the plan continues

What about Carmila's guard then, will she still try to assassinate this male Woble ?

Ohhhhh who's visiting now ?

THE HEAD JUGE ??????

Cleopatrus or something like that ?

HAHAHAHA I just spotted the "CAKKIN", thanks Togashi, never learn more about the latin alphabet.

Okay so did the V5 just free Beyond ?

He won't have to escape if that's the case and the Zodiacs will be greatly disadvantaged

If we don't think about giving birth to sacrifical pawns, Beyond seems to be serious about protecting the citizens of Kakin as much as possible.

I doubt he would want Tse to be King if he were his son. So I wonder what was his goal in trying for an heir ?

Okay so Kakin law can be retroactive ? That seems very unethical. I am really excited about you really trying to judge the crimes of past royals too. It won't be sufficient for Morena and the Heil-yi but it could really help some actual people live a more decent life.

May I give you the contacts for Halkenburg and Kurapika ? They'd be delighted to help.

Also I really wonder what the chosen heir of the current contest can do as a ruler. You're a parliamentary monarchy now so their power will be limited. Does the king actually want to sacrifice his whole bloodlines to give birth to something that would support a full democracy ? That could explain the number of coffins but he did not strike me as someone that would give up his privilege like that.

Continue fighting for the rights of the populace Beyond !!!!!

IT IS BACK !!!!

I am so happy I can spend the time reading Hunter x Hunter again

Now, without further ado, let's begin

I already knew about this chapter cover but it really confirms Tserridnich possesses Pairo's head

This will be such a mess

I always wonder if Kurapika already knows because he also saw the video where the head is plainly visible.

Okay so right back into Halkenburg's death procession

We don't know what will happen now with his ability

I am not even sure if we already knew his mind currently inhabited Balsamico but I think we did.

I wonder if he'll actually reassign his guards to do something on tier 2 or if it's a ruse to kill Benjamin

OKAY OKAY OKAY

Now it's back to Kacho

But since Kacho is the result of a guardian spirit beast that requires death as a trigger, I doubt she's using Fugetsu's aura.

Okay, we are really updating every plotline on tier 1.

That's Carmilla's guard assigned to Wobble

How will she approach the prince, I wonder because a disguise would never fool Kurapika for long

So the nen training will help her accumulate the curse

Will Wobble nen beast finally manifest ? Or will Kurapika sniff out the assassination plot

I forgot who is Kako ???? Probably another of the unwanted

So some guys are back. I believe this is Satobi who is with Luzurus , Danjin with Tse

I don't remember the other two.

So, was she already in the nen training and what we saw was a flashback ???

So new people it is ????

Okayyyyy, two classes in tandem, Kurapika is really confident

Politics gotta politics

I don't have much to say, it's a nice reminder

Don't worry Kurapika, he'll come around

Okay, so Myuhan replacement is the one who replaced our poor Borksen too

And here it goes, the risk increased and some people believe they can take flight

I am afraid there might be enough of them to surprise an overbooked and exhausted Kurapika.

Please be patient and careful Kurapika !!!

DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMA

YESSSS Kurapika is Kurapikaing

such a smart cookie

I am hyped by a little surprise after all these reminders and set up

OoOOOOoooOOOO

It is in order to further his goals to stop the ritual

will he say the truth or invent something ???

YAYYYY

Vows and Limitations

I actually did not analyze the ability of the first king of Kakin like this but it makes sense

You mean where are the bodies hidden ?

OooOOOOooOOO

It makes sense but that's why the former King would try to speed up the war

Many people believe the black whale is also a sacrifice but maybe it's just in case the succession goes south and the dynasty is in danger ?

I LOVE THIS

Also we are learning more about what is a risk and what is not a risk

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Sooooooooooo, I have some free time. I haven't progressed on this liveblog for two years !!!!

I wanted to come back for a long time. Now that I defended my PhD three months ago, now that I want to procrastinate on writing a cover letter before the Frieren's episode come out and the pokemon day live begins, now that I am frustrated to see Togashi's progress but no big announcement from the WSJ, NOW I AM RESUMING THIS.

The current hiatus hasn't been that long, here is a reminder : https://hiatus-hiatus.github.io/

A bit more than a year.

SOOOO let's begin reading again !!! Just to remind people, this is my first time reading the manga but this is not a blind reaction. I have watched both animes and caught up with the manga past the anime. I am currently buying the volumes.

Oh NOOOO, my boy is running, but from what ?!?

It is crazy because I thought we ended that part of the arc ??

So, back with bird-rabbit weirdo. I AM GONNA CRY

That tropical forest is so pretty, the ground doesn't seem very adapted for a brawl but a rabbit and a snake will manage. ^^

These palm trees remind me of coco palms which would make sense considering we are on an archipelago. It is also one of the most common palm you can find by searching on the web.

As always Killua is smart, it makes sense he would be wary of the wind in order to hide his smell but also know how to use it to lure someone in.

I am just unsure if the Zoldyck often come into contact with guard dogs on their job or if he is mindful of it because of his own dog : Gon

/s Rammot is just as delightful as always, I am loving the small talk here. I also do that when engaging with people.

"I don't like this guy, let's kill him"

I also resort to this kind of intrusive thoughts when crossing path with some acquaintances I don't want to talk to. Social anxiety is something.

Anyway, go Killua ! Break the doomed yaoi allegations ! Do not die here and get rid of that monstrosity

HERE IT IS

I already feel bad, the anxious expressions on Killua always work with me. He is usually so calm and collected except when it comes to Gon and his family.

That's a trauma response right here

And Rammot will use that like the beast he is.

URGHHHHHH

My baby

I feel so bad for him

look at him ;_;

FUCK ILLUMI

Fuck Rammot, I knew rabbits would be like this if they were predators

Those who know some rabbits will know too

I hate him, drooling everywhere

kicking a child around

I know Rammot is like 2 months old but he is definitely not the smartest ant around. He would need too long to develop empathy

I am going to cry aren't I ?

YES HE IS

And you're in love too

And I AM TEARING UP

Contrary to this guy who needs to check his brain.

I am pretty sure his brain is trying to make him feel something akin to empathy here.

Or it is cuteness agression

YOU CAN DO IT

DON'T LISTEN TO THAT ASSHOLE

Oh yeah the famous hatsu that was somehow removed from the 2011 anime.

I saw some people arguing it was conjuration but I believe it's just Togashi trying to make it obvious the feathers are enhanced to cut. It could also be conjuration that morphs part of the body (here feathers into blades) as we have seen in more recent chapters.

Anyway I am not ready for the next panel

"Gon is my friend"

"MY BEST FRIEND"

So just let's note what he's thinking about here :

First at the top right, him eating with his best friend (not a date, no homo)

Then the training montage at the top: mainly greed island

Middle right, the greed island "I don't have a crush on you Gon" moment

Further on the left, them escaping death during the exam and the Yorknew arc

Further down on the right, Oh you're the first guy my age I have been friends with and I say that because I don't like girls (hanging out with them as friends : no homo)

going to the left, them meeting, them being naked (NO HOMO)

Finally, "I can't do this without Killua" and "I like hanging out with you" (No HoMo)

THEN BLOOD

for more info on the gay subtext (no homo), I recommend this masterpost from @telehxhtrash (I don't know her but she's neat)

HAHAHAHA YOU MISSED

LOOOOOSER

SOOO PROUD OF MY BOY

I am still not crying, just tearing up a bit

It might be because I am SO PROUD

LOOK AT HIM !!!!

such a good panel

Rammot crash out

I love it

GOD TIER PANEL

What do you want me to say, he's freed from the fear his family caused him

freed from his trauma

We can see that he managed to face his assassin conditioning first to encounter the effects of the needle.

Without changing his mindset from an assassin to a hunter, he would have never been aware of it (the needle).

Then he had to voluntarily go against this last conditioning Illumi used in order to be finally free.

The next stage is facing his family as a freed man and beat his trauma even further down

Too bad Rammot, you were just one step along the way of Killua

BYE BYE Rammot

Well, I am surprised I didn't cry but it might also be because I had left this liveblog on the side for two years.
