in your expert opinion, who do you think's gonna die this arc? š¤
aw thanks!Ā my opinion is far from being expert but i can try!Ā
This is really hard to say because thereās already a blood bath being teased, with the Succession War and Hisoka hunting down the troupe - not to mention the possibility of the remaining of the Troupe on the boat doing a massacre like they did for Uvoās requiem (I think it was said that the room in which Chrollo is has for number something that can be read as the way to sayĀ āmassacreā in Japanese? Donāt take my word on that, but if so⦠We can expect the worst.)
One of the character Iām almost certain will die is Shizuku, strangely enough, but i think i have a slight bias because of the theory that says Chrolloās fortunes may have been delayed because he read them (and Neon stated that reading them would make them less accurate) - which is a theory mostly existing because of how Shalās death fits his fortune, more or less (but it might be far fetched because it feeds on another theory too soā¦). Thereās argument against that of course -Ā But Shizukuās fortune was to die in a dark room ofĀ ātreasure ill-gottenā, and they are for now heading in the Boat to get the Kakinās treasures, which itself is ill-gotten. So I kinda fear for Shizukuās safety. Even if in the end that theory is completely wrong, I still canāt get out of my mind that Shizuku will die.
I cannot help but be scared for Kurapika with the lots and lots of hinting that heās losing hours of his life everytime he uses his techniques and I just fear a moment heāll overdo himself, but I try to be in denial about it.Ā
One of the other thing iām scared about is what the King of Kakin said, thatĀ āThe One SoleĀ Survivor will be the official successor to the Throne.ā - which makes me think itās possible that the Nen Beast wonāt disappear until every Kakin successors slaughtered each other and that therefore, the plan of having Woble flee from the boat seems a little compromised. I doubt thereās any way for Woble to seriously win the war (i mean comāon) but unless thereās a twist like, the last few successors who donāt want to battle learn to live with their Nen Beasts, or that smashing the Nen Beast Jar will save them⦠I fear for Wobleās safety.
And I canāt see any way for Tserriednich to finish the arc alive, even ifĀ Kurapika has to die to achieve killing him.Ā
So The Big Ones to Die, or so I expect, is Tserriednich and Shizuku, and maybe Woble, and I canāt help but think mayyyyybe Kurapika (but again, denial and all, Togashi wonāt kill off one of his main character right?)
For the rest, Iām rather uncertain, but I think at least Chrollo and Leorio will stay alive. Leorio because I still think thereās way for him to get his storyline now, Chrollo because iām pretty sure it wonāt be his time just yet, we hadnāt seen the last of him. Iām pretty sure Hisoka will stay alive, since heās been determined to, but therefore I doubt for all the Troupe members. I just think it was confirmed Machi was safe for now because Togashi said he didnāt have the heart to kill her yet. So iāll count her with theĀ āWonāt dieā category.
Other than that? I kinda fear for everyone. Iām kinda sure all the Princes will find one way or another to die, but iām worried about the bodyguards who are involved.Ā Ā I think Hanzo is being so worked up after the death of the Prince he was protecting that he may put himself into a dangerous situation. I really doubt Theta is going to survive, but i donāt have strong suspicions she would die either.
Ā For the Troupe, I think the most likely to die would be those who already showed a large range of their powers, especially in the CA arc. I think mostly about Feitan, likely, heās probably one of those I would see dying.Ā
From the Trope that I think might survive but am not sure, I would say maybe Phinks will stay alive at least. But itās just because itās been hinted at it was possible the arc with Gyro should happen in Meteor City (or at least Wolfin is looking for him there) and that I therefore think some of the Troupe may be involved in this plotline - and Phinks had a lot of moments showing of how invested in was in that place, so I think it would at least be fair to keep him this far.Ā
But as a whole, I really canāt know, I mean when I started the CA arc I was expecting everyone but Gon and Killua to die, and we all know how that turned out in the end.Ā
soooo i may not be the one to come to about it because i would just find reasons why everyone would die.
Those are my thoughts at least! I hope you enjoyed :3
