I CAUGHT UP!! | FIRST TIME Hunter x Hunter Reaction ( VOLUME 39 )

I CAUGHT UP!! | FIRST TIME Hunter x Hunter Reaction ( VOLUME 39 )

So hello there. Welcome. If you’re watching this on YouTube. Hello. By the time you’re watching this on
YouTube, we have finished Hunter x Hunter. But right now, in this moment that I am
in, we are about to jump into volume 39. But of course, before I
do that, I have a gigantic list and a pair of notes
that we got to talk about. So let’s go ahead and talk about these
notes of things I’ve added. Obviously, we’ve added the
homeboy, the fanboy of the Phantom Troupe who wants
to get let’s follow his goals. Still got a scroll. Still scrolling down. Hold on a second. Still scrolling down. Almost there. Get an autograph from the Phantom Troupe. Also, we have added members to the phantom
troop here. Very excited to introduce them here. Well, not really. We have Sheila, who I don’t know. I don’t believe she is dead. I’m going to assume she is not. But she left to be a hunter. It does not seem like she was a part of
the group. She she sounded like she was out of it
once she saw what happened to Saraza. Saraza by the Mafia. I put it in quotes because it’s it’s well,
I mean, technically, the Mafia is most likely referring to the
Yorknew Mafia just because of the closeness
of the two locations. I also don’t believe that Sheila is number
four. So we have a mysterious
number four that Hisoka killed that we still
don’t know their identity. Aside from that, our Phantom Troupe hasn’t
changed. Incredible, incredible backstory in Volume
38. Absolutely amazing. If I can talk a little bit about Chrollo
here. Chrollo is a character who I thought was
cool. But Volume 38 really put into perspective
how much I love this character because he has a little of my childhood in there,
not necessarily the trauma, right? None of the trauma, but the
idea of making people laugh and smile through becoming
a Power Ranger, essentially. Right. That was quintessential me in my
childhood. So I relate to Chrollo on that level of
just like, I get it, man. You want to be the villain to protect your
people. That is so cool. So huge props that I love it when a story
is able to elevate and make a character make even more sense through their
backstory. So a huge props to Chrollo. Hisoka. Oh, I didn’t even update. I forgot about this. I didn’t update this. Hey, you know what? Look away. That’s going to be. Yeah, look away. That doesn’t need to be there anymore
because of course he is. We know that he’s in Tier 3 now. Speaking of Tier 3, we have Hisoka now has
another alliance. Scroll away over here. He’s tasked with killing Morena,
much like the Phantom Troupe, but he’s also teaming up with the Xi-Yu who also have a
creepy Zombie girl named Misha. And we’re going to see how that all turns
out. I’m not quite sure. Like, yeah, OK, so she can manipulate a
corpse, but like. The 23 disciples already assume that this
guy is dead. Also, yes, they all have names. So we added the names, we added their
levels. They also have jobs that they are they had
before becoming a disciple, which I assume plays into the abilities that they have,
which is, I believe, the reason why Togashi is telling us that like Billy is
from the is an arcade employee or that Orarge is a waste disposal contractor. Like these titles are important, I believe,
to the abilities that they all have. So I felt it was important to write them
down. And we got the abilities of two,
right? Yokotani and our “”Organ”” here,
Terrabellum. Very, very fun. Very, very cool. We also got a list of Tserri friends. We only know two of their names,
but very excited. So here’s the thing with Tserri’s friends. OK, we’re going to talk a little bit about
a theory, right? Not necessarily a theory, but it’s more of
like. Why would Togashi do this, right? And so I write down here. Their inclusion is so
interesting because they aren’t loyal like the Camilla
soldiers or Benjamin soldiers. But they’re they’re
shown to us as friends of Tserri who are considerate
and care for them. And Bork and Bork here is a friend of
Theta. And so their inclusion is
very interesting where I’m like, are they here to help
balance the evilness of Tserri? Right. Are these the friends
that hold you back from saying something you
shouldn’t be saying? Are these the good friends that tell you,
hey, man, what you did to that girl, turning her into a horse that wasn’t cool,
man. And Tserri is like, man, you know what,
guys, you’re right. I should be good now. Now, obviously, I don’t think that’s going
to happen, but. These they don’t seem crazy yet,
they seem pretty normal. I’m probably going to regret saying that
because there are 10 chapters left of me disproving me, but they actually might be
reasonable people. So I’m very I’m very curious, especially
actually, you know what? There is a reason why I actually believe
that these people are going to be good because they all care about Bork. Bork is friends with Theta and Theta,
I think, is a good. Like moral compass in terms of like she
knows Tserri is bad, but she’s also like she’s there for the job, so she’s like,
I’ll teach you this, but not really. I mean, she did also
try to kill him, so maybe we are on a good good
good side here with Theta. So I’m trusting that Tserri’s friends are
good in terms of Tserri being bad. So we’ll see. We’ll see how that all turns out. Oh, my God. Also, Kaiser in love with Melody. Now, Melody still thinks that he’s being
manipulated, and so we don’t really know if that’s how Kaiser feels or if this is
still a manipulation plot. Maybe Melody has never looked into the
heart of someone who loved her. So those feelings that she
is feeling in her mind about like, hey, I think you’re weird
might actually be true love. I’m very excited to see how
this all turns out, because Melody deserves every
bit of love that she can get. She is one of the best characters. Spoilers for the tier list. You know she’s going to rank high. Also, Meshush. Now, we haven’t heard much of Meshush,
but there is a recent prince that Meshush is looking over who has
right now been cursed, who is right now a little
unhinged, and that is Fugetsu. And although we have no idea what the heck
happened to her, I’m feeling, though, it’s got to be Meshush. Up to no good. Wait, where does this thing? Yeah, there we go. There we go. That’s what I was thinking. So I think this is I think we have
witnessed the power of and have not without actually seeing the act being done
right. Because the whole point of these have nots
are that they will hate the prince and then kill themselves in front of the
prince to then curse them. And right now we have Fugetsu being cursed
by something. So that’s what I’m expecting. But we will see. Oh, my God. OK. I also skipped over this earlier,
but. Those all of you in the comments have
mentioned. Hisoka was watching The Thing. Now, that’s a very important thing,
because why does that matter? And it’s because the thing is about an
alien life form that transforms itself to disguise itself as any life form that it’s
met. And here we are in a situation where we
can’t believe what we see with our own eyes. Right. I was thinking, hey, what if this was
crazy? What if the seed ceremony
was just every all the prince is eating a parasite that
eventually takes over their body? And the prince that we
once knew is no longer that prince, but they still
look that like that prince. I don’t know. Right. Because we have multiple,
multiple moments of the King of Kakin going when Halkenberg was
like, I’m done with this father. And he’s like, oh, yeah, right. Yeah. And then he comes back. Halkenberg comes back with the gun. He’s like, Father, I’m going to kill you. And he’s like, it ain’t over yet. That amount of confidence, is it because
he’s confident in the guardian spirit beast or is it confident that
there’s a parasite inside his son that wants to do all the
killing, that wants to take over? I don’t know. But. It is no mistake that there is a reason
why Togashi chose the thing. It could be multiple ideas because they’re
they’re honestly, there are multiple examples throughout this entire arc that
could relate to the thing. So it is. Oh, my goodness. There’s a lot. What else? Oh, yeah. Out of nowhere, Longhi was like,
hey. I have I have Nen and not just any Nen. She is powerful. And not just that. Maor, the captain of the fifth prince,
doesn’t even have Nen. Why does not why doesn’t she tell her
captain that she has Nen? This is very weird. Now, I’ll be honest. I think this is a yes. Like the fact that she hasn’t told Maor
at all that she has the ability. Oh, yeah. And if you want to know what the yes is,
it’s to this. We have yet to know whose Nen is this. And Longhi out of nowhere is like,
yeah. I got Nen. In fact, my Nen is powerful
and I haven’t even told my captain, which would be helpful
for protecting your own prince. So there’s clearly some sort of bias of why
they do not tell Mayor, the fifth captain. It’s very, very suspicious. That being said, right. This this happened way before we even met
Longhi. I don’t know, but they could be they could
be doing their own thing. So I think, you know, we’ll go maybe,
maybe, maybe. I don’t know. We’ll see what else to be got. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is OK. So we had the seed urn, right? The urn. This urn looked freaky. Then. Chapter 391, the first chapter, the first
page of volume 38, we see this image. This is a full image that you see now. And you see this little creepy ass looking
dude. And then you see, what the hell is that? It looks just like the urn. So I’m like, this has to be an older king
of Kakin. Maybe this maybe this is Hui’s great
great grandfather. I’m not quite sure, but that is very
suspicious. And then we don’t see this guy at all in
volume 38. But what we do see is the elder of Meteor
City who looks like a rankly old guy. Are they related? Is there something more insidious and more
circular about the Phantom Troupe joining the Black Whale? I don’t know. But. I believe that’s all I have added. Once again, Zoldyck family. OK, OK, never mind. Illumi, Illumi Kalluto are in here,
but the rest are not here. The Temp Hunters, Rat. Well, there are Temp Hunters here,
but specifically the Rat Crew and Ging. Nowhere to be seen yet because,
right? Even Beyond and the Zodiacs weren’t even
seen. OK, OK. Mizai, Mizai is here, but everyone else,
everyone else gone. So I’m very curious what volume 39 is. Togashi, it was two. So the last chapter was released for
volume 38. It was released December 24th,
2022. Two years later, we get volume 39. So here we are. Oh, clarification. Perigord is meant to be the “Organ” and not
Terrabellum. This guy, this little dude, this
pipsqueak, an “Organ”? Now I’m even more lost at why Morena wants
him. What the heck? Let’s get into what is currently known as
the final volume of Hunter x Hunter, Volume 39. Volume 40 is off in the distance. We’ll probably get it by the end of this
year. But for now, we’re going to go and enjoy
Volume 39. Thus, I begin Chapter 401. Oh, my God. Welcome to Volume Chapter Volume 39
Chapter 401. We see a beautifully painted cover art of
Morena. Absolutely beautiful. Love it. Actually, is this painted or is this
marker? Actually, this might be painted. Yes, painted. Beautiful, beautiful. I love the aquamarine hair. Absolutely love it. I love we have the green thorns right
still. Very Jesus-like. Very curious how how this
how her religious overtones kind of present itself in
the story more and more. Trebb says Togashi uses watercolor for most
of his covers. Perfect. Excellent. Let’s go. Day 10, Tuesday, 1145 A.M. Next, Longhi, it’s your turn. This way, please. Longhi approaches. Fury! Oh, the secret Nen user. How will she handle this? Will she pretend to awaken
to Nen upon Kurapika’s attack or reveal herself
once in the room? If only she Prince Woble. No, I trust her. We’ll see. I don’t need divination. I can use Nen already. But just so you know, those snakes weren’t
mine. I’d like to prove that and explain why I’m
here. Bro, she’s so hot. Imagine. Imagine the confidence you have to
approach this room and go, those snakes aren’t mine, but let
me show you my ability in having Kurapika and
Bill be shocked by you. Oh my God. My ability is called Transparent Words,
Moonlight Act. It’s a conditional manipulated ability. By having someone sign
a limited term contract, I can loan out my ability
or restrict their actions. A voluntary signature is required. Please hold your decision until you hear
me out. Kurapika’s like, you want my signature? What’s in the contract? An alliance with 5th Prince Tube. However, Prince Tube
doesn’t know about this ability, let alone the
fact that I can use Nen. Yes, that was very clear when you showed
up suddenly with Nen. This contract is insurance to guarantee
the true plan goes smoothly. Kurapika flares up his Nen. He’s like, alright then, if you’re gonna
flare your Nen up, I’m gonna flare mine up. Sounds quite intricate. Pulls out the gun. I don’t have time to sift through a mix of
fact and fiction. If I figure out you’re lying, I’ll shoot
without hesitation. Isn’t your threat more of a waste of time? You can’t kill a Nen user with a .22
caliber. My ability requires me to explain the
whole truth first. If all I wanted was to form a contract
between you and the Prince. This is like the bomber. I was trying to think there was someone
else with this restriction. It’s the bomber. Oh no. Is there more to this? Cause yeah, the exact thing with the
bomber is like, I have to explain myself to you and then touch you and then you got
the bomb. She’s like, I had to explain it to you and
then touch you and then you got the bomb. If all I wanted was to form a contract
between you and the Prince, I would only need to tell you the details of the
contract itself. But my true plan, I want to Grant you
additional power with my ability. And in order to do that, I have to explain
everything. Oh, okay. What’s your true plan? Thinks about it. What’s wrong? Well, I’m not sure how to explain. I should start with what’s used to be the
true plan. You draw this? You draw this? I am Beyond Netero’s daughter. Just freaking pull down the entire list of
a family tree. Oh my God. Togashi’s like, how do I make this more
complicated? Oh my God. I like that. I like that. Oito’s just like, what? Who? Wow. Kurapika’s like, come on, come on,
tell me everything. 30 years ago. Oh my God. I can’t keep yelling. I can’t keep yelling like this. 30 years ago, my
father talked some young officers like Kakin into
having sham marriages. There are many others with families like
mine. The couple raised the children born
between the wives and Beyond as their own and put them in the Royal Military
Academy. I think he did this every time a new
prince was born. We were set on the path to
become Royal Guards for the princes, and most of us
have probably fulfilled this goal. We hadn’t ended since we were born after
all. And the academy exam itself wasn’t difficult
unless there were special circumstances. I stumbled upon the secret
when I discovered that I didn’t inherit a trait I
should have from my father. After I found out about my existence of my
brothers and sisters, I simply figured my father’s purpose was to place his kin into
important positions close to the king. So that was the original true plan? Yes. My parents told me when they told me about
my real father. My other half-siblings
weren’t told the details about their birth
or about each other. Even though I knew until the succession
battle, I thought of myself merely as a Kakin soldier with unique family
circumstances. I lived in a boarding
school as far back as I can remember, so I only had a
tenuous connection to my parents. Beyond’s purpose of
which my parents spoke passionately every time
they came to see me. I never particularly
questioned since it aligned with the national cause of
world unity under Kakin. But his methods were different. We were used as pawns. As I said, we could use Nen since we were
born. Newborns with Nen instinctively learned
Ten and Zetsu quickly to prevent fatigue. I was always among the top of my academy
class physically, even without trying. However, that was a side effect of
Beyond’s Nen attack. Attack, yes. My father placed a curse on us. I found out when my half-sister Maka
became suspicious of her parents. She was supposed to be assigned to Prince
Camilla. The second graduating class lost their
places. When Prince Camilla elevated the have-nots
as her personal guards and she was among them, she felt something was wrong when her
parents didn’t mirror her disappointment. She investigated in secret and discovered
me also serving under the second queen. My parents tried to inspire me with
Beyond’s goals of unifying the world. How can they be so blasé that I didn’t
make the cut? After the seed ceremony, we noticed a Mark
in common between us. We showed it to a renowned exorcist and
discovered the truth. He told us a powerful
and sinister Nen possesses us, that will
activate upon our death. Take a good look with Gyo. Dude, I don’t want to know what Tagash is
about to do about to draw right now. Oh Yeah, yeah, no no no No, I don’t now. Thank you. No He told me I oh wait a minute Is this Nen script around the eyes? Oh, it looks like a little Nen script
around there. He told me I was a strong curse sacrifice. I was chosen to curse my target to death. There are at least 10 of us who are
strong, including me and Makaha. If there are as many or more weak ones who
weren’t selected, then my father must have prepared a large number
of pawns because he couldn’t be sure of the
final count of princes. So if I get this, if I’m understanding
this correct, we have Camilla’s have-nots, right? Camilla’s have-nots are here. Beyond basically created his own have-nots
of all of his children that will basically. kill or curse the princes that they are
assigned to once they die. Well, I guess technically it won’t technically
kill the princes they’re assigned to. It could be just like another prince who
are attempting to kill the princes. Either way, they’re all trying to kill all
the princes. Oh my God. We weren’t assured it wasn’t
something that could be removed simply by burning off the
surface or even cutting it off. A powerful curse the likes of which he had
never seen. Our bodies were turned into tools of
Beyond’s plan. Curse sacrifices incarnate of his behalf. We don’t know what kind of ability it is
or what the targets are, but they are undoubtedly aimed to make sure our targets
are cursed to death. Bill is like, hey,
Kurapika, if this goes on for too long, people
will get suspicious. Kurapika’s like, but we need to hear all
of it! Or else we can’t form a contract with
Prince 2. Since Beyond didn’t make any moves after
Makaha failed to join Prince Camilla’s entourage, we don’t think our targets are
simply the princes we were assigned to. That means we might
not have needed to be in the entourage or even
in the military at all. Even our life goals were used for our
father’s schemes. Kurapika goes, hey, you don’t know who
your target is? But you’re sure it’s a prince? Yes. It’s only speculation, but I’m sure. There are more than 10 strong curse
sacrifices in 14 princes. It can’t be a coincidence. We don’t know who’s
going to kill which prince, but Beyond is trying to influence
the succession battle. Bill chimes in, if he didn’t tell the
sacrifices, that means either Beyond knows how to activate the
curse, or he’s leaving it up to fate as a condition
that increases in power. Kurapika? Probably the latter. Beyond is in Kakin’s innermost circle,
so it’s likely he just wants the eldest Prince Benjamin to take the throne. Sacrificing a life is necessary for a
powerful curse if they give Prince Benjamin such a hint in order to ensure he
survives as a successor. Then Prince Benjamin
can use his special martial law with the military at
his back as a last resort. Longhi? No, I don’t think it’s Prince Benjamin. Bill and Kurapika are confused. Oito? Worried. It’s like he better be Prince Woble. He better be… Beyond better care about
Prince Woble. My son is in danger right now with you
here. My father is well-prepared, cunning,
and greedy. And with this much preparation
time, it is inconceivable that he would make all this effort
for someone unrelated to him. Then what? Wait, you mean… Yes. Only one of the princes… Oh no! Oh my god. Freaking… FREAKING CINEMA. The way Togashi has built the story of
like, hey, these are the princes. These are the wives
building up, making us believe that all the
children are are from you. Then as we start to learn more and more
information, we get introduced to mafia. It’s like, well, actually, is that really
the case? Like the children don’t really look like
him. And actually, like for Luz and Broccoli,
they kind of looked the same. And now here we have official confirmation
that like. None of most likely none of these children
are his. Oh, my God. Which means so one of these is… Oh. Oh, OK. Once this chapter is over, we’re going to
work. I’m pulling out the prediction list. OK, Bill’s like, but how is that possible? And then Kurapika goes like,
Queen Oito, what is the requirement for a prince to
participate in the succession? To be qualified, they must be born to
Natsubi Hui Guo Ruo lawful wife. The wife. It’s true, there’s
technically no mention of paternal lineage, but
I mean, it couldn’t be. But but like like the wife, I can
understand secrecy, right? So maybe like Woble is
related because like Oito was like, yeah, I know
who impregnated me, right? Like the shapes of Beyond and the shape of
Hui are very different. One’s like a short guy, one’s like a 9
foot tall dude. All right, she’s thinking about it. OK, we have we have a knock on the door. Sakata’s like, yo, hey, hey, bro,
anything wrong? You’re taking too long. Everyone’s worried. Kurapika goes like, hey, we’re fine. Negotiations are
taking are taking a while because we can’t agree
on the terms of the truce. We’ll explain it fully afterwards and
clear up any doubts you might have. Please be patient. Fury is like, oh. There’s no outright change in Kurapika. Oh, OK. Fury is like, there’s no outright change
in Kurapika’s aura, but surely they’ve realized she can use Nen and she’s the
assassin. What could they be talking about? And then we have a face of Babi going
this, bro. OK, I wasn’t suspicious of you before
anymore, but now this is suspicious. All right, we go back, gun get pulled out
again. Please continue. The contract with Prince Tube is a truce
with Prince Woble and Queen Oito. OK, Woble is secure. Good. Neither side will interfere with nor attack
either Prince, Queen or their guards. This will last until 9 A.M. next Sunday, at which time the contract
will automatically renew for another week, provided that a representative from Prince
Tube is present in room 1014. My ability will activate only if your side
violates the terms. The penalty will be a week of forced
Zetsu. Wow. A week of forced Zetsu
is quite powerful, yes, but she also has a
very strong restriction. A very strong restriction. The definition of attack is vague. Healing or other acts of support could be
counted as a Nen attack. Then so would my ability itself. We won’t unilaterally terminate the
contract so long as we don’t uncover a malicious act perpetrated by your side
against us, and I would never arbitrarily ascribe malicious intent in your actions. My additional stipulation is to identify
Beyond’s Child before either Prince Tube withdraws or two princes remain. If it turns out the criteria I set are not
applicable to any of the princes, the conditions will be met
in your favor and my ability will immediately activate,
granting you your reward. My additional stipulation will expire at
the same time Prince Tube cancels the truths, but if you are willing to continue
the investigation, I promise to write a Nen contract between us and compensate you
in the same fashion. The reward is you will be granted a
one-time use of my ability. Not bad. It’s limited and depends on the person,
but still. Force Zetsu can be applied with much
easier conditions and much less risk when compared to my ability. The chain hasn’t moved, she hasn’t lied. I want you to make your decision after
hearing this last part. My current true plan. If my father’s child is among the princes
as I expect, I will kill them myself. If only my father had told me everything,
even if my role had been the same, I would never make this decision. And I am getting chills. I am getting chills. The fact that the next panel,
as long as he is giving this speech about killing her father’s
child, the chain does not move. The door opens, she exits. No evidence, they fought
physically, their auras are too tranquil for a Nen
battle, so they negotiated. There was nothing unnatural when Kurapika
came out to explain, but was she crying? What the heck happened? I felt something different from before in
Kurapika’s aura, but it was so faint that I can’t tell if it was just a subtle
change in himself or Longhi’s Nen. If it was Longhi’s attack, it could be
something remote that involves multiple steps or something
invincible that brings out absolute power
under certain conditions. I can’t narrow it down enough,
but it would be difficult to fill the condition for both Bill and Kurapika at
the same time. PLUS! That would make my deductive inference
that Longhi was the assassin a mistake. Did she negotiate with a sob story without
Nen? There’s not enough evidence for any of
this. I don’t even know if I should pursue it. These people sure don’t make it easy. Fury is just like, “I’m gonna
figure this out.” Sorry to keep you waiting, we were
discussing the truce with Prince Tube. In short, we’re both
positive towards the agreement, but we
can’t agree on the details. Our opinions also differ on how much we’re
willing to share with you all. Fury is like, yeah, right. This is an act just to balance the
interests and the third and fifth princes. Lastly, Tenftory, it’s your turn. We can talk about this matter afterwards
or they can just tell Tenftory in there. Nen 101 behind closed doors. Prince Woble is safe as long as the system
functions. I can expose their conspiracy and demand a
suspension of class or disclosure of information, but I have little evidence
and I won’t be able to take them to trial and will just end up strengthening their
solidarity. I’m starting to think we should ask for a
change in assignment, don’t you think, Babi? Oh. Oh, Babi’s like, no, nothing. Interesting. We cut to Beyond. All right. Can you get me a new book? There aren’t any others to read again or
write your own novel. Good idea. Get me a pen and paper. No, for security reasons, you got your
beard in your own blood. Security reasons. If I wanted to, I could just knock your
head off with this book. Got it. Super scared. You got any other requests? Don’t hold back. Asking is free. You’re a funny one. There’s somebody I’d like to talk to. Can you arrange a meeting? To be continued. OK. OK, OK, OK. Oh, my God. OK. Beyond has. A bunch of children, but more
specifically, one of these princes. Is Beyond’s child. So I’m going to go down the list. I don’t think it’s Benjamin. I think Benjamin has too much going on. It doesn’t feel like Benjamin fits. Tserri. Dude, this if this if this
this has to mean something, right, his actual name
has to mean something. I. I’m going to come back to Tserri,
right? Having Tserri’s goal of wanting to take
over the world. Very little, little sensing it could be. But then that makes it even more crazier
when, like, I do believe that Morena and Tserri are siblings. Because we have the benefactors who are
definitely are feeling like fathers of our sorry, we had the the
benefactors of the mafia bosses are definitely feeling like
they’re these are their fathers. Morena or Morena looks very much like a
Tserri, and I feel like they’re siblings. So maybe. Camilla? I hope not. I don’t it’s definitely not
Luz because Luz and Zhang Lei already have their connection
with the mafia, right? Halkenberg? Halkenberg. I don’t know if it’s Halkenberg. How crazy would it be if it was? Oh, that’d be crazy if it was too. I’m going down. OK. Dude, I feel like it’s Marayam. I feel like it’s Marayam, man. I don’t know why. It’s just that this is the most mysterious
of the princes. We got this freak of nature here. We still have to solve the mystery of
making the room 1013 disappear. Like, man, it could be Marayam. I don’t know if it’s Fugetsu. That would be insane. Originally, I was thinking, what if it’s
Woble? But it’s weird because I don’t believe
that there is. I believe that the queens know who they
had, who the like the true father is, right? Long, he even mentions that the parents
that that Beyond gave their his child to know who their true father is. And so I feel like this is the
same case where I believe whichever wife it is who did
the deed with Beyond knows this. They they know they know it. Right. And so I think Queen Oito doesn’t actually
like, yeah, I I just like he’s my husband. Yeah. Man. The the person of pure good. Oh. The person up here like just pure good in
love. Be. Netero’s hard ability. I mean, the loves. I mean, actually. Look, all my theories, I’ve always been
wrong. OK, I’m going to go with Tyson. I’m going to go with Tyson. We have a wife who is not connected to any
other children. So there’s a less of the there’s no less
like. How do I say it? There’s less. We don’t we have not met this wife,
right? So the wife can’t really say anything
about who the true father is. They’re not connected to another child
like duals or words like you could probably I mean, look, she’s these are all
different children. There’s all these are all different
fathers. It’s also the thing of like, what if
Beyond just has like the super nicest, most caring child? You know. Man, what if? Cube says, I have a theory that,
oh, that Babi is one of Beyond’s kids. You know what? There’s there has to be someone in the
Royal Army, Benjamin’s personal guard. Oh, that’s so good. Oh, I like that one. Yes. Claw also also agreeing with Cube. I do think that Babi is one of Beyond’s
kids, too. Oh, I love this. Cube says that I think I’m I’m either
Woble or Tserri for as Beyond’s kid. See, that’s the thing, man. If I’m thinking about like that,
that’s what I really need to know is like. how I mean, we’re getting into it,
right? How do these wives get inseminated? That’s the whole point, right? Is the king going “Hey Girls”? What’s going on? Or is it like, you know, the old man? What is his name? Nugui Nugui comes up. It’s like I got I got I got a syringe full
of the king’s. You know what? We’re just going to inject you in and then
you’ll become pregnant. Right. Like what? What? How are we how are we doing this? So I’m very like this is so important
because like are the queens do the queens think that they’re
holding the king’s babies or do they actually
know the true fathers? Very, very interesting. Claw says, look at a younger version of
Netero, compare it to Tserri. They’re OK. There are similarities. Now that you’re making me think about it,
let me let me let me pull it up. I do have some images of young Netero. You could be cooking there. Oh, man. So we have one where he’s slightly older. I do have a younger one. I just go back. and Tserri does have an insane amount of
power that I feel like only a Netero can have. Chapter 402. We are back with Zhang Lei, Third Prince
Zhang Lei. If you, 5th Prince Tube and 14th Prince
Woble are the last three remaining, the 5th and 14th princes will renounce the
throne in support of you. I see. Prince Woble, perhaps, but I didn’t
expect Prince Tube to agree. And they agreed to it to put it into
writing. Yes. In return, Prince Woble
is asking that Sakata and Hashito extend
their support indefinitely. So, Kurapika entered into the truce and
agreed to our alliance. Yes. On the condition that both
the queen and the prince accompany him when he
comes here to room 105. The third prince guards also demand to
attend in interest of information sharing. Also, quick note. Tenftory is here. This is him. So, we don’t get to see his interaction
with Kurapika. I’m wondering if we’re going
to flash back to it, but that is very interesting for us
not to see their interaction. Instead, see what happens afterwards. I guess because it’s going to be the same
thing where it’s like, I also have Nen too. Those snakes aren’t mine. And also, I am a father of Beyond. And we also want to do a truce. They’re like, I don’t know. Tube’s like, they’re more than welcome. I wouldn’t even mind if Prince Woble came
to live here. That’s cute. Just like, huh? They’re colluding. Oh no. Oh no. The next page is him like, how do I kill
three princes at once? Well, back in 19, they’re colluding with
Prince Woble or Kurapika. Cut back to Zhang Lei. Your reward? Your reward? Your second, I believe. Once you’ve reached a certain number,
you shall be rewarded even further. Yes, sir. My humble pleasure. If you carry it with you at all times,
it will surely bring you good fortune. A semi-surrender is a step forward,
though I have my doubts whether a renunciation would even be valid in the
succession. But this coin, I thought something
would happen after 10 days, but it seems it has no effect
if I’m the one holding on to it. Okay. Fourth Prince Tserri didn’t
come to the banquet after all, so collaborating with
me isn’t important to him. Now that First Prince Benjamin’s guards
are coming after me, I can’t be choosy. Nothing would be better than this pact
turning Benjamin’s focus upon Zhang Lei. At the next class, as much
as you can, impress upon the First Prince guards in how
close we are to Prince Zhang Lei. And then we have Rihan looking at this
gigantic toad beast. Tuba’s Nen beast appeared right after the
signing of the peace treaty. It could be a coincidence,
but if this timing has any meaning, it
must be conditional. Oh no. Even just thinking that you’re going to
surrender is a bad idea? Oh, I don’t like this at all. Okay. All right. Balsmilco. Pulling something from a shoe. No squashing something. Pulling. Our military created numerous weapons of
mass destruction. Oh no. This one was considered a failure when
flaws were found out during its development, but it’s the perfect silent
killer under the right circumstances. The initial symptoms resemble
the stomach flu, and the timing and vectors of infection
can be easily obscured. We can use existing infection prevention
protocols to limit collateral damage. And of course, there are three. The surface proteins
are fragile and unstable, denaturing in less than
30 seconds in the air. But once in the human body, the pathogens
proliferate rapidly, leading to death in 12 hours from multiple “Organ” failures. It even hastens decay and is subsequently
outcompeted by pure factivity? Puree? Okay. That’s a word. Bacteria. Leaving no trace in an autopsy. In a room without circulating air,
anyone who breathes it in an epicenter will have 100% infection and death rate. It multiplies quickly,
so we’d be limiting it due to the high risk of
spontaneous mutations. But in this case, it necessitates
deployment. Yo, you do this at the next dinner? Oh my god. He pulls it out. I will use this to delete 9th Prince
Halkenberg. Not even kill. Not even poison. Delete. Bro was like, I’m hitting the delete key. Oh my god. And he, oh, he has it in his shoe. He has a little compartment. Oh, it’s getting ready. He’s like enough with this. I’m going to do it myself. All right. We cut back over with Sakata(Salkov)
and Tserri here. How many seconds? It’s 9.67 seconds. Oh, finally less than 10. And this will take a while. Try again in 10 seconds. He’s running on the treadmill. Finally. And while multitasking, it took me a whole
year to get to that point. And I’ve known Zetsu since birth. I thought the 10 second barrier was
supposed to be hard to have an outcome. This guy must, his powers must go Beyond
the limit. What took six months for me takes a single
day for Tserri. He’s in a league of his own. Comparing his temperament,
this monster would use Nen or politics
only for his self-interest. It is right. Something has to be done. But you’re doing great, buddy. Your speed is remarkable. Holy shit, bro. You spoke. Hey, man, you’re so good. Holy. According to her, Tserri activated some
kind of ability during Zetsu. Even among specialists, he’s breaking all
the rules. Zetsu must be the trigger for the Nen
beast to activate all the aura. It’s been soaring up, but I can’t even,
uh, I can’t eliminate the possibility that Theta was manipulated by
his guardian spirit beast when she was attacked and isn’t
a reliable source of the truth. I haven’t seen the Nen, I haven’t seen
Prince’s Nen beast yet after all. Knock on the door, your highness. Regarding the hunter called Melody,
huh? I can’t do much. I have more, I can’t do much until I have
more information. The justice department suspects her
involvement, meaning she’s still detained. Also, Prince Benjamin must have the same
idea as her soldiers haven’t left the area. Hey, just don’t let big brain get to her
first. Keep asking to see her and find out what
she’s thinking and win her over. His Zetsu is uninterrupted while running,
gaming, on a, carrying on a conversation. You don’t need to, you don’t, you don’t,
you need to train ears for this. He’s like, all right, so yeah,
you’re going to rescue her, right? Yes. Okay. You rescue her. Talk to her. Talk to Melody here. And I am maintaining Zetsu. Okay. All right. All right. Chat here. It’s like, it’s like Togashi trying to
tell me something about Tserri, you know, about his abilities,
about his power, about, you know, about, you know, that he’s, look,
he’s like, I’m Tserri Mero. Okay. All right. Stop. Don’t think about it. I’m going to lose faith in myself. Just hanging around this guy’s hats off to
you, Theodore. Oh, I thought, I thought we got a closeup of
what was on Tserri’s phone where he’s just watching porn on the treadmill,
working on his Zetsu. I was like, what the heck is going on? No, we’re looking at, at Fugetsu’s back. Okay. I saw this when she was changing. It looked like a bug bite. She didn’t have this before our escape. Don’t say it looks like an ejection when
we just got a moment where a Balsmilco is like, I got an injection, but that’s
not the night. Okay. Whatever. Whatever. That’s not possible. We went back to our room and they brought
us here right after that. I know it’s most likely a Mark made by
Nen. A Mark? Also, I just realized Kacho is upside
down. Like her guardian beast is like,
yeah, at this point, at this point, I think Kacho would like to be upside
down. Some Nen powers involve a multi-step
process. Prince Fugetsu probably fell into a trap
and got marked. Didn’t she say something weird yesterday? I can use magic worms many times in one
day. So you’re saying an
enemy’s ability is the reason why she thinks she can
use it more than once a day. Oh, keyword thinks. I was thinking because she was cursed,
she has more aura or more Nen to use. But no, she’s just exerting herself more
than she can. Get her to use her ability there. Should be two doors. One is a trap. Show it to her and persuade her not to use
it anymore. Persuade? Once she knows it’s not hers, she’d stop,
right? I hope so. She’s showing signs that she might be
addicted. You mean she was injected with some sort
of drug? That’s terrible. I can’t think of any other reason for such
a drastic change over time. At first, We see like the nen flaring
of evil behind Melody. I thought one of the princes who came to
see me was using her to negotiate, but that wasn’t the case. If she keeps using
the enemy’s she’ll keep getting weaker and won’t
last until next weekend. This must be an ability that indiscriminately
attacks whoever gets trapped. I mean, we do have
Yoshohi’s ability, which has the little fly with the
syringe that injects you. But does it do this? Man, I mean, it may. Okay, okay, this is good. What should I do? Find out who’s doing this and get them? No, but Yushohi was like in and out a
sales sales place. He died pretty quickly, strangulated. So I don’t, why would he do that here? Okay, either way. Kachou’s like, what should I do? Melody’s like, find out who’s
doing this and get them to stop, but it will be difficult to
find them without any clues. Kachou’s like someone comes to mind
though. Seventh Prince Luz? Yeah, he managed the mafia and deals drugs
to raise funds. Oh, okay. I get you. I get you. I understand. I bet it’s his guardian spirit beast. Even if that were true, he’s not
consciously making the attack. So it would be impossible to persuade him. Also, they don’t know that guardian beasts
can’t attack the other princes. Interesting, but okay. But why would Togashi want us to think
this way? Right? Cause like the idea is like, we,
we do know that the spirit beast, so we do know what is actually,
we don’t, I shouldn’t say what we do know. What Togashi has shown us so far is that
spirit beasts can’t attack the princes. However, there’s a reason why Togashi
wants Melody and Kachou to think about Luz in this moment. That’s what I want to figure out. That’s what I want to think about. Why is that the case? So the only way to stop it is to defeat
the prince or the Nen beast itself. We have to take action right away. I know how you feel, but we can’t rush in
blindly. We need a surefire plan. Kacho’s like, I have the plan. Getty had been testing what she can do
with her ability. I don’t know if there’s a barrier around
the ship itself, but the door didn’t open when she imaged a place off the ship,
but it did connect to the room where the light boats are kept and she got inside
the lead one. So we can go there
again at any time, but there are things we haven’t
been able to test yet. And that’s whether other people besides
you can go inside. Yes, I think it will work. On the way out, the door closes when Getty
goes in. And on the way back, it closes the moment
I get inside the tunnel. We made a Butler play with us when we were
kids. So I’m pretty sure other people can go in
there before us. I want to try this out with you,
Melody. Oh, I see. Oh, okay. I see. I was like, wait a minute. She didn’t have this ability when she was
a kid, but no, she’s referring to this ability was created because of them as
children. And as children, they used to have a
Butler with them. And so she’s like, okay, this is why I
think this will work. Okay, gotcha. Kacho, you’ll need more people for your
plan. Someone who can carry Prince Luz to a
lifeboat while he’s knocked out with my flute. Ideally, we would have Prince Luz agreed
to the escape plan and get on a lifeboat voluntarily, but I don’t think he’s that
stupid. Your ability would make sure it happens. Even better would be if we could poison or
strangle him on the spot. And then what’s his name? I want to say Kaizo, but I’m thinking
about like Pokemon. Kaiser. Kaiser’s like, nope, nope. It would be better to make it look like an
accident. Okay, nevermind. I thought you were going to go,
hey, let’s not do the kill. He’s like, all right, let’s make it look
like an accident. It’s like, aren’t you part of the Justice
Department? He’s like, oh, we’ll make it look like an
accident. I’ll be the mule. Oh yeah, cause right. Melody’s here. He’s doing it for love. I’ll be the mule. Have it done while you’re getting
questioned to establish your alibi. Prince Luz’s guards
would claim to be deceived by your music, but
that’s not a problem. There will be traces of drugs
in their urine and hair, so we can say they’re lying to
cover up for the hallucination. The Prince overdosed spontaneously,
tried to escape, and had a heart attack. Sounds plausible. Well, sounds like a plan, but there’s one
major problem. Where will you connect the doors? And then Kacho’s like, Prince Luz’s room. Fugetsu will need to go in first,
right? Yes. I don’t get it. Can you explain? Well, Fugetsu needs
to have actually been to a place to use her
door to go there again. In this case, his bedroom. Alright, I can take care of that. Come up with a reason why Prince Fugetsu
has to personally meet with each Prince. We accompany her so there’s no danger of
assassination. Each Prince, not just Prince Luz? It would be best to maximize the places
she can go, right? It’ll cover our tracks and come in useful
later. That would be convenient. Okay, how does this sound? Okay, not bad. Everyone would be interested in a letter
containing Prince Kacho’s last message. And as long as we guarantee their safety,
it’s likely they’ll accept it. For security reasons, showing up at their
quarters unannounced isn’t natural. I’m not sure they let a lower-ranked
Prince inside and accept it personally. I’m sure Prince Luz has a lot of stuff
he’d rather not show you. That will depend on my negotiating skills. Worst case, I could force an excuse to
search his quarters and warn Prince Fugetsu. So, I told you how I feel already,
right? Yes, I’m well aware. Let’s make sure it happens. There’s no turning back after this. Are you sure you want to risk everything? Of course. I’m not just doing this out of my feelings
for you. It’s because I think it
would be best for the Prince Fugetsu to take the throne
and change the whole system. Having Prince Kacho by her side would protect
her from her mother’s meddling as well. Melody’s like, I don’t detect any
heartbeat. If I can’t figure out
his true intention, I’ll have to assume
he’s on the enemy’s side. At least, he or the one who’s manipulating
him still considers us useful. I didn’t join the Justice Department to
blindly uphold the law. It’s to get the world closer to my ideal,
gentler world. I can do the dirty work to
make that happen, even if I lose the right to
join that gentler world. I have to maintain this relationship for
now in order to protect Prince Fugetsu. BEYOND’S CHILD HERE I don’t know. Everyone feels
like, oh, here we go. We got the whole apartment. Fugetsu here. I was like, hey, Fugetsu
looks normal here. And then we just see her. Thousand yards there. It’s like, oh, no, she’s not doing OK. She’s not doing all right. Poor girl. We liken audience with the First Prince. May I ask why? We’d like to personally hand him a letter
from 10th Prince Kacho. Prince Kacho has passed
away, but she wrote letters to all the princes
while she was alive. She left instructions to personally hand
the letters to each prince if she died. We can guarantee there is no danger of
explosives or toxins. We would like permission
for Prince Fugetsu to hand the letter to the First
Prince under our supervision. Butch is like, “No, man, I could
take care of that.” It could be an official proclamation
about the succession. Defying a death prince’s wishes could lead
to disqualification. Please contact the prince. Let them through. There’s no point of concern. Even Benjamin’s like, my god, she’s on her
last legs. Thank you so much for your audience. May I step over there? Of course. Steps over. His beast is screeching at her. It dissipates all the ghosts around her. They fled. They’re low-level evil spirits that plague
someone in a weakened state. They’re not 11th Prince Fugetsu’s guardian
spirit beasts or a scheme. She’s despondent after her sister’s death. She won’t last 10 days. I accept. Shall I open it? By all means. I will act as a witness if there is any
information pertaining to this accession. An ordinary letter. Nothing political or worth showing you. You still can’t find Musse? No. Considering the timing when
you closed off the passageway, we focused our search on
Tier 1, but haven’t found him. We could invoke our authority to conduct a
search of all Prince’s quarters. There would be no point. Oh, there’d be no point. You know, there’s currently a dispute in
court over which has priority, uh, royal privileges or the military. This doesn’t qualify as a
national threat to begin with, which is the prerequisite
to declaring martial law. True. I’m glad he falls for leading questions. Authorities have many levels and the point
of contention in court here is about military crises in which someone in the
military is the victim. This case doesn’t does indeed apply,
but Benjamin instead brought up martial law, which indicates a higher level of
crisis of national survival. It’s clear he’s waiting for an opportunity
to implement martial law. He’s probably racking
his brain while pretending to remain calm over
the contents of the letter. He hasn’t even noticed he misspoke. I was right to do this while. Oh, I was right
to do this while Balsmilco was away. Seeing how the other princes react will be
very educational. Okay. We see Tubeppa, Tyson. Well, I’m thankful that you declared my
quarters to be, oh, okay. We’re at Luz’s place now. Well, I’m thankful that you declare my
quarters to be clean in exchange for this. Thank you for our cooperation. A majority part, major part of
our duties is to ensure smooth negotiation between Prince
and the evolving succession. Sorry about your sister. Thank you for your kind words. All right. I even like that, but show is like,
what the hell is going on here? This is suspicious for me. Okay. Luz opens it. He’s also reading. Wow. What a parting shot. Fugetsu, did sis ever
tell you anything about the letters or if all the
letters are the same? No, she never had a chance to tell me. I guess she didn’t want get you involved. It has nothing to do with the succession,
but Mr. Bigwig should take a look at this. Yes. Allow me to read this note that I have no
idea what’s written in it. Let me see. Allow me. I told Prince Kacho what to write,
of course. Let’s shake things up for the prince while
we’re at it. Okay. Oh, oh. Perfect. Perfect. What an awesome way to now show us what
these letters are, what these letters entail. Let’s shake up the princes while we’re at
it. Oh, our independent investigations have
gathered inside information on the princes. The purpose of which is to maintain and
defend our neutrality and deterrent. They might as well be literal bombshells. Let’s use them here to our advantage. Melody is like, I see, but how would Kacho
know any of that? They’ll be desperate to discover the
source of the leak. That’s for sure. I’ll be there to deflect questions that
dig in too deep into Prince Kacho. I don’t intend for her
to return to tier one where it’s dangerous
until the succession is over. I didn’t expect Luz to hand me the letter. He may be more careful and skeptical than
I thought. Whistleblowing on Prince Tserri? These are merely rumors. It says Prince Tserri is the one I wouldn’t
want on the throne. It could be defamation to campaign as a ploy
to get you guys to dig up the real dirt. Believe me, there is plenty to find. Not like I can talk. Something’s weird. Her last message wasn’t to
ask to protect her sister, but is instead filled with bombshell
about the other princes. The older sister was pretty smart. Each letter has got to be different. Get the snakes, me and Ford
to Duke it out while she milks the tears on Benjamin to
secure her sister’s protection. That means it’s dangerous to act
carelessly. I should bide my own time. All right. He said the trigger word. He said the trigger word. He freaking said snakes. All right. Who’s a Luz? Who’s working for Luz? Which one of you? Old man Sotobi. Old man Sotobi. He’s also very cautious
and wants to monitor everyone and considers
Kurapika dangerous. Hmm. Yes, question Mark. All right, buddy, let’s get back to this. I have no idea whether any of them are
true, and I don’t care to find out. You can keep the letter. Let them let them think I don’t trust the
letter and have them handle it. Got to keep the balance. All right. So Luz is still kind of falling for it,
but he’s also trying to play it cool. It worked. If you’re tired, we could postpone the
rest. I’m fine. I can do whatever. They’re surrounding her. They go, Ki? Oh. Basho, man. He noticed. I love this. Dude, I love it. They’re like, what? And then they disappear. Basho appears. Prince Fugetsu, a moment. I’m Basho, Melody’s colleague. Oh, nice to meet you. I don’t want to overstep, but you just
seem real tired. I’m fine! Let’s go! I forgot about it. I do. I’ll be honest. I forgot anything about Basho’s actual Nen
abilities here. Oh, my God. The Nen activates by
inclusion of words of invocation, light for
healing or purification. Seasonal words further raise
effectiveness. A good luck charm. Keep it on you. Wow. Thank you so much. This will ward off the evil spirits for a
while. She’s she’s still in danger as long as she
remains untreated. Melody, it’s up to you. Man, dude. Oh, he makes me so happy. Oh. Interesting. Now. Interesting, because. Why would. Kaiser bow. Now, obviously, bowing is a very respectful
thing in Japanese culture as a thank you. But when I think about Kaiser. I’m wondering if he actually can see the
evil spirits. If like he knows exactly what this is. Like there is more to him than just him
saying thank you. It feels more like. He might know exactly what Basho just did
for Prince Fugetsu. Interesting. Interesting. In any case, hey, it’s it’s day 11,
Wednesday, 8:50 A.M.. In case Prince Luz wasn’t the one behind
this, we should do this. Do it as soon as possible. As soon as Getty awakes. Do the questioning while she’s getting
treated in sickbay. Place guards in front of the room and the
alibi will be perfect. Right. Basho gave us time, but we still haven’t
narrowed down anybody. I’ll use my. Oh, we’re pulling out the ocarina of time. I’ll use my ocarina for
logistical reasons, but I still won’t be able to do
anything while I’m playing. Kaiser’s like, no problem, babe. If the tunnel is about about 10 meters
long, I can carry him myself. That rumbling happened right above us. Besides us, only Prince Halkenberg is here
in tier two. That ability must belong to him or his
guardian spirit beast. Oh. Day 11. I wish I remembered what day it was. If he was in tier two at this moment,
this is before Shikaku. Right. Unless he’s like going back down. Why would it be in tier two again? Oh, this is a bit confusing. Well, no, no, because he went to go see
his father in tier one. So why would it be? No, I guess. Yeah. Oh, my God, I should I should be keeping
track of time. I didn’t realize it. Oh, man. OK, anyways. But Prince Halkenberg himself fell ill. Never mind. Never mind. OK, never mind. Prince Halkenberg himself fell ill. Whether that was planned or unexpected is
important. And Balsmilco wasn’t in the room with
Benjamin at the OK. All right. All right. Things are clicking into place. Never mind. We are this is where we are in the we are
at current or present time. But Prince. OK. I’d like to know all the details and give
him the letter right away when he awakens. I assign someone I know to attendant duty. His letter contains all the information. Prince Benjamin’s secret,
Prince Tserri’s depravity and the truth about
Prince Halkenberg’s birth. And more information that shakes up the
succession itself. Prince Halkenberg will surely make use of
it. And one more hope, Kurapika. As long as the succession continues,
the princes can’t escape the ship. Please come up with something so no more
princes have to die. Oh, awesome. Kurapika gets the true important message. Claw, you are absolutely right. I completely forgot about the arrest of
Halkenberg. Absolutely correct. I did completely forgot about that. Love that we’re finally getting to see
more of Basho stuff occurring. It feels like Kaiser is acting as like a
Nen extender. So whoever is manipulating
him is also causing some area of effect
towards other people. Because like, why is Kacho? Yeah, Kacho and Melody are immediately
going, kill Luz! It feels weird now. That’s like, okay, now
we’re going to handle 7th Prince ourself,
not even involve Basho. Volume 403. All right. We are at day 11, Wednesday, 6:45 AM. So, so slightly before we feel the
Halkenberg shake. Okay. And Balsmilco is here in tier two. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. All right. Tier two justice department prosecution in
courthouse area entrance. Ninth Prince Halkenberg’s personal guards
aren’t anywhere near the courtroom. His closest men are under surveillance in
the VVIP area, and the others were separately and reassigned to tier three
and below. Halkenberg doesn’t have anyone beside him
to produce that powerful rumbling. Sorry, we got a spoiler in the last
chapter about that. I’ll be close enough during a cross-examination
for a hundred percent fatality. Halkenberg has no chance to escape. The judge and lawyers will be breathing
normally, unaware of the risk of getting infected, though they’re far enough away
for that to be less than 2%. It’s still non-zero, but since the
courtroom is close to the public, the possibility of a pandemic is minimal. It can be surpassed, suppressed by martial
law if need arises. Alright, he sees… someone off in the
distance. Okay. Vic! Oh! Run! Run, Balsmilco, run! Just go! Brother, don’t turn back! Just go! Vic, on the other end of the hallway,
looking menacingly. Oh, hey there, Balsmilco. It’s me, Vic, your friend. Oh, no. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Rumbling, that’s not possible. Halkenberg doesn’t have any of his guards
around him. Longhi is there, that’s who it was in the
distance. Vic, what happened to you? Wanna play a game, brother? Military sign language. Is he being prevented from talking? Wait. Hold on. No, no, no, no, no. They’re playing games! They’re playing games! Because Vict had an incident with
Halkenberg, so no way did he just… I figured out the secret to Halkenberg’s
ability. Alright, this doesn’t look…
Okay, maybe this is not Long he? And it’s with someone else. The crew’s showing up! Oh my god, the crew’s showing up! Hey, what’s up? Hey, it’s the captain of First Prince
Tserri’s crew! They’re just chilling, they’re walking
over here. He pulls out the arrow, he’s ready. Oh my god. The position of Balsmilco, captain
of the First Guard’s prince, is 11. 9 meters away
from the two of them. Triangle leg depth 25 with 11.9 meters. Oh my god, this is… what an epic! To angle the shot at 26 degrees,
I need to step 60 centimeters forward. The boy who shoots the arrow, Gimel the
Dissonant, fire. He fires the shot. Oh my god. Benjamin, the trial hasn’t started yet. No, both sides request a change to the
time. Both? For what reason? The plaintiff was unprepared
due to the equipment issues, but this was
denied by the judge. The defendant himself was feeling ill,
and this was accepted. It will start when he is getting better. What’s going on? Oh man. Equipment issues imply the mission wasn’t
executed. No, Halkenberg’s went off first. The only reasoning conclusion is that it
was directed at Balsam Beko. If Balsa was the one attacked,
why did Halkenberg fall ill? How was he able to use his ability by
himself anyways? That’s impossible. Can… wait a minute, wait a minute. Can Halkenberg send his own soul into
someone? Because they’re saying he fell ill and
he’s asleep. Oh my god. Hold on a second. Did they get each other? Balsa noticed his ability and charged at
him to spray him with TSK-17, but it’s too early for symptoms from
TSK-17. There must be another reason. Tell me more about Halkenberg’s condition. He suddenly fell ill and collapsed on… God. Oh, no way. No way. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He’s… yeah, he’s taken over Balsmilco. Holy. Was anyone with him? Yes. A ten or so of his supporters who went to
his aid. A few were still with him and tending to
him. So his supporters assisted
his ability with enough loyalty doesn’t matter whatever
his nation they belong to. Oh, first Prince Captain. Oh, first. Oh, first Prince Benjamin. The captain is here. He wants to talk to you. Hold. He wants to talk to you. Hold on. This has to be a trap. Halkenberg’s illness is fake. The captain was attacked and it’s not
talking of his own volition. This means this is a coercive manipulation
ability. All right. Benjamin’s clicking into it quick. When it happened to Shikaku, Balsmilco
said manipulation is first come first serve, perhaps between individuals,
but it doesn’t apply against powerful Nen formed by a unified group working
collectively. What will the manipulated captain have up
his sleeve? Your Highness, this is Balsmilco. Yes. What happened? Let’s see what you come up with. I haven’t executed my mission yet. Trouble on Halkenberg’s side and the trial
was postponed. Did you notice the rumbling earlier? Of course. A Nen arrow was fired at me, but it
missed. Halkenberg lost consciousness on the spot. Perhaps because he used his ability
multiple times over a short period or due to the strain of having civilians helping
instead of his personal guards. I see. So there’s no way to know when the trial
will resume. A plausible explanation, but he’s obviously
faking his illness to postpone the trial. Balsmilco, if you try to return here
without executing your mission, I will consider it a coup d’etat in
collusion with Halkenberg. I will institute martial law and purge
both of you. All right, Benjamin, taking
the smart choice of like, you ain’t coming back here
because I don’t trust you anymore. No, but this is actually our chance. I would like permission to go see
Halkenberg. A few of his supporters will probably be
by his side. Is that all right with you? No, no, Halkenberg is smart. He’s already thought about this through. He’s going to do the deed
in sickbay or pretend to use the time to find a opportune
opportunity to entrap me. You make the call. I only want results. I understand. I’m also aware that
since Halkenberg’s ability has been used, it puts
me under suspicion. Ergo, I will not return until I demonstrate
that my mission has been completed. Please let my men know. Is this how? Is this even how Balsmilco talks? Why is he mentioning TSK-17? I will get the results you want within the
day. Butch, sir. Could he be telling the truth? No, he’s suspect until I can confirm his
mission is complete. It could all be a trap to bait us into
inaction. That rumbling was an attack on Balsmilco. Until we find out the truth of the matter,
we are on red alert. If Balsmilco leaves
the Justice Bureau without notifying us, I will
declare martial law. Let tiers two and three know at once. Yes, sir. Your Highness, an official
from the Justice Department and 11th Prince Fugetsu has
something to give you personally. Okay, it was in the past. Good to know. The senior officials in the Justice
Department are… are… wait. Wait, that means that the
rumbling that happened at the end of the last chapter is
not what just happened yet. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What is going to happen here? Oh, my God. The senior officials in the
Justice Department are people I’ll need to work with during
my reign once I’m king. It wouldn’t hurt to foster a good
relationship to share information, let them through. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That’s right. No need to worry about that. That’s fine. That sounds like the kind of choice you
would wouldn’t make. I support it. I’m sorry. I won’t be able to see you at the banquet,
but I’m proud of you, Halkenberg, my dear son. What? That’s not Duazul? Wait, what did I know? Did I have this wrong? That’s. no right there. Mother of Duazul. She’s been she’s been like so docile here. Who the hell are you? Unma, baby? Yeah. Oh, my God. No way is this Unma. It looks like Unma. What? The first queen is Halkenberg’s real
mother. Everyone stays quiet out of fear of being
disrespected. But being dead, I can say nothing. The first queen asked a secret favor of
the second queen to protect Halkenberg from assassination plots from her older
siblings by changing his order in the line to the throne. That is the prevailing theory on
international websites. No way was I ever going to predict this
about Halkenberg’s birth. No way was I ever going to predict this. The order has little meaning now that the
succession battle has begun. But if the rumors are true, there is a big
problem. The first queen might be using her power
to pull the strings for Halkenberg. Rumors that can be found online,
nothing shocking. There are still things I can say and do
because I am dead. Please look after Fugetsu. An ordinary letter, nothing political or
worth showing you. Tenth Prince Kacha was smart, and she
surely schemed for her sister. But this is probably a bluff, it relies on
speculation. Even if there is a further letter or
evidence. Oh wait, you guys can’t even see what I’m
looking at anymore. Okay. This is crazy. A mere girl couldn’t have the political
power to obtain more information than I do. I would have liked to shake him up more
with more information pertaining to the succession or bearing on Benjamin himself,
but it would backfire if he started to suspect that the Justice Department was
behind it. This was worth it to find
out that he’s declaring martial law is becoming
more likely every minute. Dude, what a crazy reveal. Wow. I’m still like… So that literally… Unma, what are you
cooking up? Are these all Benjamin’s children? Or sorry, Beyond’s children? They all are super powerful with NEN. Alright, so we have Camilla reading the
letter, we have Xing Li, Tyson, Tube, they’re all reading the letters. We go back to Melody, the ones who
rejected the letter were the 4th and 13th Princes, and the 9th is under medical
treatment. I really wanted 4th Prince Tserri to read
it, did he decline? You’re making him sound nice, but he flat
out told us to toss it. Well, even one of them becomes interested
in my tip-off, it’s a windfall. They might come to rely on Getty for
information. Just the fact that we
were able to Mark 7th Prince Luz’s room makes
this operation a success. But now the hard part. Yeah. And we see Fugetsu, um, on like a medical
bed. Thanks to Basho, the evil spirit stayed
away even while she’s by herself. Let her sleep and get some rest. We need her to recover her strength. I’m all for that. It would be the worst if she can’t use her
abilities at a critical moment. We should get some rest too. We’ll do this tomorrow night. Alright. Now we are back in room 14. Death is punishment. That awaits anyone who tries to leave the
ship during the succession. Unfortunately, the ship itself is the urn
for the worm toxin. Oh my god. So the princes must continue until only
one is left alive. True. Powerful Nen envelops the ship,
creating a condition that prevents escape. So that was kind of what I was mentioning
about there being a boundary, okay? This makes it seem as if nothing but death
is allowed. But on the contrary, I think there is hope
instead. So I’m curious if Kurapika is
gonna mention that like, right, you can, you can, you can dislike, if it’s a barrier being caused by Nen, like we could break it, right? Where is the urn? Can we mash? Bash the urn and have it dissipate? Your majesty, there is something I need
permission for. To protect Prince Woble and the other
princes. But what? Oh sorry, he specifically says,
and the other young princes. Alright, and we go back to Zhang Lei. He has the coins out on the floor. We see some creeping in like dark Nen. I currently have seven coins and the
guardian spirit beast produced. And there are three I gave to the others. The issue is the value of one coin of the
coins change from 1 to 10 today. The bigger problem is we have no idea what
any of this is. I like your opinions. Alright, we have the opinions of everyone
here. One coin gets produced a day, so there are
10 in 10 days. We can hypothesize that the coins change
after 10 days. Yes, so we’ll Mark the higher value coin
with the date 10 ago and each new coin from now on will be marked with this
production date. Then we can verify if all of this is true
in 10 days at the latest anything else. We need to follow up the coins you gave
right away. Yes. It gives added value to
those who hold one, or maybe it represents parameters
related to owner’s growth. Maybe we should simply use them as money
that increases in value. This other guy is like, hey, if the coin
value increases in order of magnitude every 10 days, the 10 coin will be a
10,000 in one month. Great. So can you cast Hocus Pocus in 630 days,
sir? Nevermind. These are all mediocre ideas I have
thought of already. These men literally
lack the knowledge or experience to make
conjectures or Nen abilities. Call room 1014. Let Kurapika figure this out. Information on Nen that could affect the
battle for the throne. My Guardian Sphere beast’s ability and its
effects. I need Kurapika to get through this. Call up Kurapika. All right. So we have Vict and Steiner. Sorry, not Vict. Kaiser and Steiner. It’s all right. We’ve received notification from
Halkenberg about the mass synope episode. They may experience
similar effects, similar to mass hypnosis after the
meeting, after meeting me. But don’t be alarmed. The joy of basking in my presence combined
with the sudden release of anxiety from the anticipation will do that to some
people. They’ll quickly recover. That one? Yes. We get a report that a dozen or so
supporters who met with Prince. simultaneously passed out in the waiting
room. Like he said, they recovered and went
about their business. Actually, there’s something else
concerning. One of the staff who was there during the
visitation passed out with the same symptoms, but at a different time and
place. So his guards probably also probably did
the same. That can’t be explained by coincidence. It wasn’t a coincidence. Where’s the staff member now? I could try telling them
our situation in order to find out what Halkenberg is trying
to do and form an alliance. He’s standing by in his quarters
ostensibly for observation. All right, I’ll do it. I’ll do an interview just in case. Tell me his name and room number. I just don’t know what
Halkenberg would think of my actions considering he likes
to be fair and upstanding. Worio? Oh, Worio Bay, room E-6. Wait, is his name Worio? It’s too risky to meet Halkenberg in
person when his abilities is unknown. I’ll find out the truth through Worio. Now, that being said. We go back to the notes. We still have two people that we don’t
know their names. So. Oh boy, we’ll find out. We’ll see. Mostly, we’ll see if
they’ve made it to tier one to start trying to
get close to Halkenberg. Oh, wrong, wrong button. There we go. Tell me what really happened, Worio. Worio! Okay, this is Worio. Okay. You can rest assured here, you’ll never be
censured because of your beliefs. We know there have been mysterious
abilities in use in the succession battle. 10th Prince Kacho used theirs to try to
escape in the ship and lost her life. It seems the ship is covered by a barrier
and the king has something to do with it. I don’t want to waste time on vague
nonsense. Supernatural abilities do exist and the
princes are using them as weapons. I support 9th Prince Halkenberg separate
from my duties as a Justice Department Deputy Chief Prosecutor, as long as 11th
Prince Fugetsu’s safety can be assured. And then he shows in the Mark,
a Mark I received from the prince. 9th Prince Halkenberg
told me to tell you everything if you brought up the topic
of Nen abilities yourself. He anticipated I would come to see you? Yes, you would obviously connect the dots
for the mass fainting and if you don’t come to see him, it’s
proof you’re wary of him and that means you
know the existence of Nen. How astute. 9th Prince Halkenberg is going to die
soon. Are you sure? Yes, mission has been complete. As planned, I will deliver the results. Oh, he’s cooking! Halkenberg is cooking! Oh my god. Let’s go. Finally, good confirmation. Halkenberg piloting Balsmilco. Let’s go. Oh, let’s go. Let’s freaking go. A round of applause. Which means that Halkenberg has figured
out what happens to the bodies of people. So they’re anticipating that his body will
die. Interesting. Okay. Okay. All right. Oh, and we also see everyone surrounding
all of his followers, supporters are surrounding Halkenberg and Kaiser enters
the room like peering over the shoulders of the supporters. We cut over to Oito and Kurapika. You want to go public with the letter? Yes. The second round of Nen workshops will
begin tomorrow. Like last time, attendance
will be up to the princes and I will let them know I will be
making the letter public then. Not my letter, but the letter addressed to
you, of course. If you need to, but why? Three reasons. First, to avoid unnecessary suspicion. The letters to the higher ranked princes
expose their scandals and crimes. If they get nervous that
the lower rank princes hold their secrets, it might
accelerate the conflict. Second, I’m hoping making
10th Prince Kacho’s wishes known would put a damper
on the succession battle. And three, by advertising the fact we can
expect some kind of contact from the higher rank princes, we may come up empty
handed depending on who comes knocking and for what we can use postponing or cancelling
the letter reveal as a bargaining chip. And we see here… Oito, Woble, and Kurapika are entering
Zheng Li’s room. End of chapter 403. Incredible. Incredible. Dude, I can’t believe these chapters have
all been like 11 out of 10 chapters. They are so good. Trebb says, Halkenberg’s
ability is called the boy who shoots the arrow,
Grimmel the dissonance. The first part referenced a novel film about
a son who murders with a bow and arrow. And the second part, Grimmel the
dissonance, comes from the self-conducting orkshra, like symbolizing how his
followers act in unison under his nen. Very cool. Very, very cool. Also, oh my god, look at that freaking where’s
Waldo. Insane. Oh my god. That’s so crazy. I can’t believe you know,
to be fair, we all got a year to look you all had
like a year to look at this. That is a crazy great detail. Oh my god. Thank you for letting me notice that. That is so good. This was set up all the way back in 350. The Benjamin Halk nose makes sense. I never even thought about it. But oh my god. What kind of nose he got? Okay, he’s got like a little little. Oh, that’s okay. I gotcha. I gotcha. Okay, I got okay. So that’s that. That’s his nose. Okay. All right. Princes, we need to nose check. Nose. Close. Close. Fugetsu. No. Kacho. No, we got that’s pointed. No. Nose goes up. Nose goes up. Not Marayam. No. Once again, nose goes up. Selsel. No. I want it to be Tyson, but the nose not
matching. Nose not matching that well. Zhang Lei. Oh, that’s no, that’s not happening. I mean, I mean, it could be. It could be. It could be. It could be. Oh, and when you think about like,
oh, if you think about like Isaac Netero’s, you know, very Buddhist style of
his nen abilities. There might be something with his nose. Okay. Halkenberg. No. Luz. That that’s definitely not a Beyond nose. No, that’s too thin. No, Camilla’s got a little bump here. No, that’s not Camilla. Hold on. Hold on. Do I have a better? I do have a better picture of Tserri where
he’s not like the camera’s not up his nose. Hold on a second. It can’t be Zhang Lei because we got onion. Onion’s already. Onion bro’s already Zhang Lei’s father. He could have two dads. Okay, here we go. Oh, well. The nose matches. The nose matches. Oh, no. Okay. All right. That’s a that’s a good matching nose. That’s a good matching nose here,
folks. It’s a that might just be game over. That’s a good match. Matching nose. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Angelus says there’s a chapter,
I think it’s 375. And in a page, there’s a panel of Benjamin
in the next one of Halkenberg. And they had the same face. Hold on. Okay, we’re going we got we got we got
time. We’re going to go back. Oh, my God. It’s just they’re in the same they’re in
the same head position. They’re both heads are tilted. This is insane. It was just there right in front of our
noses. Oh, my God. 404 speculation, which is what we’ve been
doing this entire volume. You’ve pretty much proven
your hypothesis that the coins change after 10 days to
maintain their physical form. There should be an upper limit to how many
can be produced. Here’s the costs are
shared by distributing them to others, making
mass production possible. The point of currency is to change hands. We’ll need to verify what kind of changes
occur in that case. First, are there any differences
in design between the coins you have and the
ones you’ve given to others? This should be a quick check. Your Highness, mine has a different design
from those. Okay. 1040, different design. You’re right. It has you, sir. The most loyal. I love it. You’re right. The front is the same, but the back is
totally different. This one shows the effects of the coins
can differ depending on who’s holding them. Can you give one of those coins to your
entourage to see what happens? Okay, Kurapika, I’ll give you this 10
coin. All right. Will the 10 coin change if I give it away? We can see what happens
to the number and the design, letting us kill
two birds with one stone. He’s certainly not making this easy. Kurapika grabs the coin with his chain
hand. All right. If I don’t, all right, we can do this. We can do this live. I got the coin right here. It’s a, it’s a penny, but don’t worry
about it. If I don’t take it, he might not trust me. But even if accepting it is a condition to
activate a semi-coercive manipulation ability, the Nen sword
over 10 or so days isn’t enough to give powerful
commands like murder. One coin a day, they change. After a 10th day, this is a long a
long-term outlook and ability that would demonstrate it’s true utility after his
king. It’s reflects Zhang Lei’s personality to
plan ahead. It should be safe enough for now. Well, flips it over. Mine just has a shield,
but Kurapika has Zhang Lei’s face, both the
number and design change. It looks like the same as 10 furries. Does this assess allyship? Can I give this to someone
who hates me and it’s going to change and it’s not
going to have my face on it? Oh, dude, that is such a big deal. Both the number and the design change. It looks like the same as 10 furries. It seems a time and effect gets reset when
it changes hands here. I’ll give this back to you. Let’s see if it changes again. All right. Design changed back to mine, but its value
didn’t go back to its 10. It’s still one. I see. Now I understand. I have a rough idea of your ability. Really do tell. Right now? I don’t mind. I guarantee it’s not something that would
threaten first Prince Benjamin. All right. Third Prince Zhang Lei’s
guardian spirit beast is presumed to have a
cumulative conjuration ability. Currency is meant to be circulated,
but by intentionally making it something to hold on to long term,
the coin store, and then perhaps enabling them to
exhibit various powers later on. OK, Bitcoin is slick living as third
Prince. He’s becoming adept at using implicate,
implicate signaling, signaling. He’ll be on our side as long as we understand
that what he wants and maintain rank. He wants me to refrain
from revealing the ways in which this
ability could be a threat. In about six months, when coins are worth
Quotillion, the owner could have their nodes open, meaning they’ll be ready to
use Nen. As you surmise, 10 to the
64th power could be the required amount for a Nen ability
to manifest in that person. After all, that number is represented in
Buddhist terminology as unimaginable. Since Nen normally requires rigorous
training to learn, this may be an optimal way to bypass the effort and risk
involvement. In exchange for being as close to risk
cost free as possible, the beast requires compensation, which is probably pseudo
coercive manipulation. Semi-force loyalty to Shengli is creator. A cumulative ability is
often seen in those who are intellectual and
who like to plan ahead. In other words, this ability looks ahead
to a time after you assume the throne. I should omit the part about the possibility
of pseudo-coercive manipulation for now. It would make unnecessary
waves and I want to let the coins do its
thing and see its effects. Its effects on the person who’s hiding the
coin that appeared on the first day. Okay, Covenant coming back into the story. Oh no, Coventoba, the first prince’s
personal guard. Today is Wednesday, 11 days since the
succession battle began. Most abilities that count
as days as a condition use the moment of
emergence as day one. If the coin started to appear on Sunday,
there should be two ten coins by now. The one who picked it up hasn’t stepped
forward. Even now, because he knows what’s going on
and doesn’t want to give information to Shengli, he saw it appear from the
Guardian Spirit Beast, picked it up, and it benefited him to keep quiet about
it. He’s the only one here who can use Nen and
isn’t affiliated with Shengli. The coins appear every day after 1pm. We can easily find out
who was by Shengli’s side at the time by
checking shift schedules. His presence now gives me an excuse as to
why I’m hiding the manipulation nature of the ability if it comes to light later
that I wasn’t forthcoming about it. Yes, this is very helpful, Kurapika. Now I can spend my time pondering how to
spend my future with my siblings. Well, the number of coins you have may
also have an effect. I think you should hold on to a few
yourself for now. All right, then. I’ll give you the one that appeared today. And I’ll hold on to the rest of it for a
while. Thank you. As for other topic, I must ask you to wait
a while longer. The second workshop should be key. Fine. There can never be too much information,
but it’s not urgent. I’m more worried about you and the 14th
Prince Woble’s security detail. Don’t think of us as equals. I’m accepting information in exchange for
ensuring Woble’s safety. It’s likely the others
used the first workshop to gather intel and
lay the groundwork. You should prepare yourself. Much appreciated. Being under his protection in exchange for
information on and pertaining to the succession battle is extremely beneficial,
but it comes at a greater risk. Zhang Lei is one of the Princes with a
Mafia family. Under their wing, there are over 200
members on board on the lower tiers. Their combat potential, their higher
princes, the terrorists, the laws, with their connection to
the underworld important if it tips too far, the situation
could change drastically. If the rope in the tug
of war between the three princes snaps,
who will benefit the most? Benjamin? He has a powerful weapon in his back
pocket called the Martial Law. The intensifying conflict between the
factions will be enough reason to enact. He can place all the princes under house
arrest with pretext of protecting them, and then he’ll have free reign. The problem is how the rope gets cut. That held the balance
for so long may seem fragile, but it’s actually
strong if it breaks out. Into an all-out war without any deals, the surest thing to happen is the
assassination of the leaders. The real leaders here are the benefactor
princes. Once a situation is created where an
assassination of a prince can be interpreted as a mafia hit, the all-out
war will transition to Martial Law. So it’s entirely possible that Benjamin
will go after either Zhang Lei, Tserri, or Luz in order to create this very
situation and considering Benjamin’s personality, even if Zhang Lei was living
with the youngest prince to protect her, he won’t hesitate. In fact, her death would emphasize the
cruelty of the mafia and place blame on them. Being in room 1014 where each prince’s
guards monitor and keep the others in check may be the safer than the risk of
Benjamin coming after us in room 103. But we still don’t know who sent the
snakes, not to mention that the danger that each of them is plotting something
which choice involves more risk. The difference is negligible. It’s a gut decision. Either way, we’re on thin ice and immediately
we hear a cart going across the floor. Cheadle is here with Halkenberg. Okay, we have Leorio. Okay, the crew is back. Finally, we get to see more Cheadle. Patient is unresponsive. Temperature is 97.9. No tremors or labor breathing. He may have hit his head when he fell. Order a Chem 7 blood panel and a CT. Ask 7th Prince Halkenberg’s guards on Tier
1 about his conditions over the past week. Send the vomits to gel in the forensic
state. We have Halkenberg drooling from the mouth
and Balsmilco. Good. The target personnel won’t wake up until I
go to sleep. The additional of a
coma to the symptoms will delay the stomach flu
diagnosis conveniently. If I get mother to refuse an autopsy,
my death will be officially classified as an unexplained “Organ” failure. Halkenberg vomited and was taken to the
hospital. My mission will be complete in about 2
hours. Once he starts vomiting, it’ll take half a
day until death. We don’t want any interference. Good work. I’ll send the royal and military medical
teams there. Monitoring progress. Yes, sir. Alright, we’re finally getting the
hypothesis. We proved our hypothesis in our experiment
with Shikaku and Sumidori. After he was shot, Sumidori’s body awoke
and recited Shikaku’s service number. We confirmed the fact that only one of these
swapped minds can be awakened at a time. Our side generally has priority. While Sumidori’s body is conscious,
Shikaku’s mind won’t awaken. Once Sumidori wakes up, Shikaku is forced
to lose consciousness. Trying to awaken Shikaku won’t work during
this time. This priority is earned by putting our
lives on line. Okay, oh, okay. So why was
it? Oh, okay. So it wasn’t entirely wrong. They
are sharing the same Okay They were they were sharing the same
same body and just that Halkenberg takes priority cool cool. Oh Halkenberg given us the whole
he brought he brought us a whole Disrotation of what his ability
is. Here we go My ability is a forced mind swap. One person is chosen at
random from our group and switches minds with the
victim shot with the arrow. Next, we need to find out what happens to
the mind when the body dies. When there are two
bodies, only one person can be awakened at a time,
and priority goes to us. Since the definition of death isn’t
spelled out in the succession battle, it’s reasonable to consider that both the
body and mind need to be dead. Therefore, once we split a prince’s mind
from their body, there is no point in testing a process which the target’s mind
could return to their original body. What we need to test first was 1. When the target body dies first,
what happens to the person within? 2. What happens if the body dies first? 3. As for 2, it’s obvious when you consider
that this is an ability made possible by the assistance of the Guardian Spirit Beast
in order to win the succession battle. As for 1, only those who are
willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good can
participate in my ability. Feeling morally conflicted
about it is a disservice to their righteous
dedication to the cause. My focus must remain
on fighting to build the ideal nation to honor
their noble sacrifices. Crazy. Also, the art is insane
in this. Very beautiful. The probability of me swapping with Balsmilco
myself was low, but with unexpected parameters, we experimented with Vict in
advance. If the body on our side dies first,
the victim mind returns to their own body and coexists with the trespasser’s mind. Oh, interesting. In that case, the victim’s mind regains
dominance. Therefore, right after my body dies,
Balsmilco’s mind will return to his own body and my mind will be forced into
sleep. Oh, okay. But we can do something about this. Right before my body dies, I’ll take a
sleeping pill in Balsmilco’s body. The time I’ll have until Balsmilco
reawakens can only be loosely finessed, but I’ll be able to control this body for
about 10 hours after my own body’s death. I’ll have to finish this within that time. My next move to be the victor in the
succession battle. This is insane. So he’s given himself a 10 hour time
limit. And we see here, Halkenberg kind of
whittling away. The doctors are all showing up. So Benjamin’s doctors, the medical team
are confirming. Benjamin looking at his iPad. Fury looking over like, damn, she’s cute. All right. Camilla drinking some coffee. She’s watching Netflix. She’s getting her nails done. Zhang Lei still looking at his coin going,
well, okay. All right. Still looking at his coin. And then we cut back to Tserri and a
slacker. Three minutes in. Who said it? Who was it who said leveling up isn’t
climbing a hill, but a staircase? It sure is true. Is that something Netero has said? My time just wouldn’t get shorter,
but and I would be about. And my time just wouldn’t get shorter. And I was about to be discouraged. No way. Three days. This is absurd. Theodore, what am I supposed to do with
him? I still can’t take it easy. Getting under that last second will be
much harder. One week or 10 days. It might even take two weeks. Damn it. I’ll make it happen. I’ll carve it down. That’s how the progress
he can make a given amount of time is much more than
the average guy can do. He’s so intense. Even the deadline he set for himself is on
a different level. And he knows he can make it happen. And then he said we spar, right? What the hell is going to go? Yeah, great. Nope. Great point. What the hell is he going to do with me? Bro. Okay. All right. This is the most Netero ass panel. All right. All right. All right. I. I’m with you. I’m with you, Tserri theorists. This is this is Tserri Netero. Oh my God. Okay. We also see Tube watching Netflix as well. Tyson reciting her book to everyone. Basho still thinking about like,
well, why did why did Fugetsu show up? Why did Fugetsu show up here? It’s very strange. No, he’s still thinking about things. He’s he’s he’s still thinking about the
whole situation. And then we have
Kacho’s guardian spirit beast or a spirit just
hovering over Fugetsu. We have Biscuit playing with Marayam is a
very cute. And then we cut to Oito. The second the second
round of classes will begin tomorrow, Thursday
at nine in the morning. The format will be the
same as before, but Second Prince Camilla’s guards
will be joining us this time. Oh, from Prince Benjamin’s camp,
it will be you and Fury as before. Is that right? Yes. So why do you think Prince Camilla changed
her mind? Maybe she was verifying your claims. They know what happened here, so there
must be some benefit for their side anyway. The reason could be genuine, be to take
the course or gather intel, assassination, alliance building, strategy, basically the
gamut. Babi’s like Prince Camilla’s personal
guards use curses unique to the have-nots, if that’s true. Are they Nen abilities? Is the target really Woble? Good grief. More uncertainty. I agree. I agree, Babi. I absolutely agree. The more they’re only
sending one person shows a firm resolve considering
Camilla’s personality. They’re not coming to learn. They’re definitely coming to do something. Melody’s letter on the secrets of each
prince didn’t mention anything about Camilla. Does she have a secret that forced them to
act? We want to keep Prince Camilla’s guards
away from Prince Woble as much as possible. The shifts will be tough, but we’ll do
this together. That’s fine. Shimano, stay by the queen’s side and the
prince’s. Chores can take a backseat. Yes, sir. Depends on what they do. I have the contract with Zhang Lei too. I’ll have to be careful. We see the medical doctors. They’re checking. And we just see just Halk. I just hate even looking like
I know this is Halkenberg’s body, but it’s horrifying
to see him dead like that. Even well, I just I just saw the
incredible panel at the bottom here. The body will be transferred
at noon today from tier three to tier two
via the central stairwell. Then the morgue in tier one. Shipwide announcement, a
send off by his supporters and personnel, personal guards
to be transported to the coffin. Those were his last wishes. Yes, his own words when he sensed his
death. How should we respond? Do as you wish. It still shows we honor his wishes,
even if we don’t say it outright. They were his. Everything should be done solemnly and
with dignity so that his supporters’ sorrow doesn’t turn to anger. Inform Judge Clea that we drop all charges
so that his guards can join him at once. Yes, sir. So once they get here, I’ll discuss the
funeral plans and the autopsy and monitor the process. That means ill. That means I’ll return at the same time as
Halkenberg’s body. Make sure it gets handled respectfully. Well done. Thank you, sir. And Halkenberg goes, thank you,
my brother. Oh, and the panel with Balsmilco and
Halkenberg’s faces kind of like mesh together. So good. I’m afraid we have a tragic news to
report. Prince Halkenberg passed away in the early
hours this morning. At noon, his funeral
processions will pass through the central staircase on
the way to the tier one. Those on tier three who
wish to pay their respects may gather in the
central staircase square. And then we cut to the Phantom Troupe. It’s like, oh, we’re finally back. We’re finally in this volume. Is this prince some benefactor for either
mafia? Nah. Then who cares? Let’s get down to tier four. Who cares about this? Thanks to Hinrigh placing the transmitter
where they can’t find it. We have time. There’s something I want
to check with the other two families before we
headed to Heil-Ly’s hideout. What about Heil-Ly? Yeah. No point. We crushed them anyways. It has to do with how we crushed them,
of course. We may have to call the others depending
on what they say. You make no sense. Being charmed by the enemy is creepy. Well, if it’s unfounded, then whatever. But I’ll beat you up if I’m right on this. To be continued. Man. Freaking awesome. Goddamn chapter. How awesome. Halkenberg, who I will say, like. He is hoping to end the succession. in 10 hours, right? The Black Whale is a two month journey. We are on day 11. Which is crazy because let’s just say that
Halkenberg can succeed. Like, what is the remaining several? What is the remaining month and a half
going to be like? It is so. This is so fascinating to think about all
of this, man. I love this so much. 10. Yeah. 10 hours. Yeah. Leorio finally got some screen time. Oh my God. I never even considered that. Because, yeah, the succession
arc has been has been a very, very long, the
long, long, lots of hiatuses. That’s wild. Well, hey, congratulations, Leorio. You made it in. That’s crazy. Wow. Oh, no. Oh, that hit? That just him? So we’re looking we’re looking at a a
Tserri Beyond team up, and I still believe that Morena is Tserri’s sister,
which means that judging by that, then I have to believe that Morena is also
Beyond’s daughter, which makes her. substantially even more frightening than
she already is. Oh, my God. Bravo, bravo. This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. Chapter 405. One more. Are these the old couple that Hinrigh
took their camera from? It looks like isn’t poker played with five
cards? Square. X. It uses multiple decks. This is a square three. When you get a duplicate card,
you can increase your hand size and with it the payout. If you win, this also looks like Hisoka’s
lips. You know, I know. If you win, the stakes are set to the power
of however one or more you’ve claimed. But if you can’t fold, so it’s also known
as go to heaven. I’ve witnessed a a number of people go
bankrupt myself. Call. I know those lips anywhere. I can’t call my boy right now. He’s in a little bit of hot water right
now. All right. His Hisoka here as the dealer,
though. Interesting. I’ve got pretty normal tastes. No, no, no, no. He’s no, he’s not dealer. Never mind. I’ve got pretty normal tastes. Seven, seven, seven. When I heard about the
extermination, exterminating the ants, it didn’t turn me
on because they were ants. The tremendous rumbling I felt a number of
times here, finding out it was a group ability made possible
through the support of a Nen beast created with
the power of a ceremony. It really turned me off. Not much of a orgy kind of guy. See, I’m normal. I’m not interested in bestiality or an
orgy. I thought I thought what this is. I can’t believe what’s happening over
here. And this guy, I’ve just I’m just a normal
guy. That is like that is like every rich
streamer going. I’m just normal, guys. I’m just like you. OK, I’m normal. I’m not interested in bestiality or orgy. I can’t get aroused. I’m just a guy who wants to be with
someone one on one. So I so we can love each other to death. And we see this character falling apart. How sad, but oh, well, there’s always
solidarity. Solitaire, solitaire. I love a game of solitaire. Spider solitaire is my favorite. Oh, I love the play. All right. Someone’s high. The thing! The thing! It. was hiding somewhere. And it was Hisoka was the thing the entire
time. So. Togashi, you cook. You are a lord. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. OK. Wow. I didn’t. I didn’t actually. Wow. I didn’t think I’d actually come across
him in the via in the tier one VIP casino. He’s not a fake Hisoka, is he? This is Bono. Bro, you fooled me! This was Chrollo’s plan? You want me to? Yeah. OK. You want me to transform into Hisoka? Yeah. Go hang out where the mafia might be. They come to they come to you and take you
to the nicer rooms. Why? To maintain balance. To the mafia, both us and
Hisoka are wild cards roaming freely through their turf
could make them lose face. But if they try to recruit either of us,
according to their conventions, it would lead to a fight and disrupt the
balance, something the mafia hates the most. The simplest way to
avoid that would be to find Hisoka and keep us
keep him away from us. We’re a group, so it’s harder to contain
us. I see. Once the mafia thinks
I’m Hisoka and tucks me away, the troop is free
to go find the real Hisoka. Then everyone can save
face, although promoters might try to feature Hisoka
since he is a floor master. The real Hisoka is likely
already on tier one somewhere as a VIP, though through
some Prince invitation. I want you to get invited upstairs. Be careful that you don’t run into him. Chrollo was right, but I bet he didn’t
tell everyone because he wants to deal with Hisoka himself. If you transform into someone else and
wait for me, I’ll decide whether we fight. This guy’s like what? My ability doesn’t work well against
Hisoka anyways, there’s no way I could transform while dodging that gum. Why is he transforming into? Oh, what the freak is his name from the? Is it the Owl? Is this the Owl? It’s one of those mafia guys, man. That’s so, so long ago. Transforming Metamorphosin is one of
Bono’s abilities. He can transform into someone he has
talked to in person. The time he maintained
the transformation is equal to the time he
spent with that person. There is no limit in body size,
but the smaller the body compared to his, the shorter he feels the time can remain
transformed. Interesting. Wait, I was right? Oh my god. Oh, how did? Oh my god. I might not actually, I might not have a
full team memory. I just maybe don’t care about a lot of
things besides Hunter x Hunter. This is crazy. I don’t know. How did I remember this? That woman who punched could reveal your
inner voice. She found out who I was, so I had to kill
her. I let the IV… Oh, that’s what happened. That’s why he had like… That’s why he did the whack thing. I slam my nails against everything. You probably heard that. I let the IV drip guy
live so I could come upstairs, but I hope
that won’t be a problem. Even if they find her body later, they
won’t think Hisoka did it, would they? Are you Hisoka? Huh? No, I’m only pretending to be Hisoka. So we see the actual reality of what
happened here. Very, very funny. Was that my voice? Oops, they found out. That guy must have heard too. You’re Hisoka, right? Oh, I guess you didn’t hear me. I see. So the ones who can
hear the inner voice with this ability are the user
and the one who got hit. Are you okay? He said he was Hisoka. No, he’s a fake. I asked his body. He’s trying to trick us. He’s from Heil-Ly or the troop. Either way, he can’t get away with this. I’ll get her in. I got Hinrigh. I don’t know why I cringe. I got Hinrigh to put him on the top of
the hit list. Oh, that’s too bad. Oh, I didn’t even realize. I didn’t even realize. I was like, I was like, yeah, that
definitely looks like Zak. And that also looks like Zak in the same
panel. And it just didn’t even click with me. Oh, my God, Bono, you are insane. After that, I took the
form of the woman I killed, tricked the IV guy and led
them to the movie theater. They’ll think someone else. This is so convoluted. OK, Bono transformed in Hisoka. Lynch attacks him. He kills Lynch. Then Zaku takes Lynch somewhere else. Bono then transforms himself into Zaku,
knocks him out, gets there. Lynch wakes up again, says, yo, that man
ain’t Hisoka, and then kills her officially. Oh, my God, this guy is ruthless. After that, I took the
form of the woman I killed, tricked the IV guy and led
them to the movie theater. They’ll think someone else killed her
after they split up, right? It’ll work out from the IV guy’s point of
view. Her death won’t be connected to my TIFF
with her. So she’s actually dead? Even if they find her
body, the Mafia probably wouldn’t come upstairs
en masse to kill Hisoka. Probably, I think. I don’t know. I should just ask Chrollo, but I really like
to get Fink’s group to deal with Hisoka. We all know Chrollo is hurting
over Shaal and Korotopi, and he’s trying to act like he’s fine
because he knows that we know. Everyone knows he wants to settle it once
and for all by himself this time, and that the treasure
he seeks on the ship is an ability that he’ll need
to kill Hisoka for good. That’s why everyone wants to kill Hisoka
first before Chrollo can get him. This is… and the treasure
he seeks on this ship is an ability that he’ll need
to kill Hisoka for good. A known ability is on this ship. What? Unless they know that, like, Kurapika’s on
the ship, but I really am thinking that they’re thinking about either one of the
princes or something. Chrollo, you kept the number nine spot
empty this whole time. We all understand. Let’s let Hisoka be the last and close the
curtains on this performance. It’s been 10 years since the brutal murder
of Mr. Risnorth, the chairman of Mom’s Help, the charity foundation
dedicated to helping children no suspects
have ever been caught. Today, we look back at the contributions
and pay our respects to his greatness and there have been a growing
public outcry demanding the identification and
arrest of his murder. This looks like the Mafia dude,
right? Oh, yeah, it’s the mole and everything. Hold on a sec. I don’t know if even I have a picture
of him because I don’t want to… I don’t think I cared
about screenshotting him. Um, no, I think I screenshot like one of
the Mafia guys. Maybe I just screenshot the Van. Yeah, I think I just screenshot the Van,
not the dudes. But it’s gotta be. It’s gotta be. Because the mole and
the bump on the nose is definitely very much like,
you should remember this. So I think it is probably him. Anyways, we see Chrollo walking away from
the message. Didn’t they initially
report that the credit had been claimed but then
walked it back in a weird way? The untimely death of a philanthropist. Maybe it’s bad if the guy who did it gets
caught. Dark web stuff. Who are these morons who take what the
media says at face value? We cut back over with Nobunaga and Ken’i. Ken… Ken Wang. Something you want to know? Yeah. All of you guys have known Heil-Ly for a long
time, right? No. Their boss just recently took over. Yeah? So it’s hard to predict what they’re
thinking, I suppose. If they’re not even a
functional Mafia family, it’s honestly hard to
notice that something’s off. What are you trying to say? Just that… is it really Heil-Ly on this
ship? What do you think? I didn’t even think about that. My cat passed by me and then disappeared. And I’m like, what the hell just touched
my leg? Okay. Oh, interesting idea. If not Heil-Ly, then who are they? They had the official succession ceremony. The boss even went ahead, went as did the
rest of us. But if you’re trying to say the previous
boss was manipulated with Nen and killed, what’s the current Heil-Ly boss like? A young woman named Morena, a royal
descendant without succession rights. The Kakin Mafia boss titles
are always inherited by a person of royal blood who
has no claim to the throne. So it’s not like we don’t
know her at all, but like you say, we’re not so close that
we know what she wants. Are they really Heil-Ly on paper? Yes, but we don’t know what they’re after. Did you guys get some sort of clue? We didn’t get anything concrete, but we
do know some things from fighting them. They seem to be doing whatever they want. Case in point, the wall guy came over and
got himself killed. But when we went to the
hideout, they were “Organ”ized and their behavior showed
they’re under some leadership. Nobunaga, Nobunaga using his brain. I love it. Their leader decides the strategy and
specific tactics are left to each of them. That’s our style. And they’re using the same playbook. The problem is A, what’s their motivation? And B, what kind of orders are they
operating under? If they’re trying to crush the
other families, it makes sense to kill the other members,
but they’re killing civilians. Why? Who knows? Maybe A is just something else. Exactly. Heil-Ly is trying to destroy everything. Everything? Yes, everyone aboard this ship,
including the royal family. In other words, Kakin itself. The sealed chambers, this cruise ship
present is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Also, there could be multiple motivations. The power needed to destroy everything. They’re killing to get power. Using human sacrifice to obtain
supernatural powers is a classic move. You know about contracts with limitations,
right? They plan to kill all people anyway. So use number of people they kill as
conditions makes powerful Nen. Look, I’m not the one to talk,
but that sounds crazy. It certainly is not normal. Not just Heil-Ly. You guys coming up with it. How we came about with this twist to begin
with? That’s why we place
importance on balance and we’re proud to have supported
the country from the shadows. A fight is a last resort and used to keep
things in check. Civilians are our customers and we’ve
never thought of them as targets. Ken thinks. And then we go back to the old man. I understand that they look like Heil-Ly,
but they’re not on the inside. There’s something entirely different from
us, the Kakeen Mafia. Opens up secret door. Cha-R and Xi-Yu will fully cooperate. I’m asking you to crush Heil-Ly. The three of us will go then. Can you tell the rest of us and Hinrigh
what to do? I’ll send a grunt to fetch them. They have entered tier three. Let’s go. Moreno, we got a problem. These guys might find you. God. Okay, I was not expecting this. Moreno, we got a problem. These guys might find you far sooner than
we expected. Accelerates the schedule a lot,
but we might have to use our joker. Oh, my God. That. Bravo. Bravo. Incredible. I can’t believe that is. I cannot believe that. And he’s an underboss. How many more are there? Insane. I heard Halkenberg’s funeral procession is
taking place. This is Moreno speaking. A lot of people will gather for the
sendoff. A perfect opportunity. You think you’re ready? With everyone helped, I leveled up a lot. I can sniff out Nen types
five meters away and whether they’ve learned
Nen from two meters. Dog enhancer level 62. Man’s about to be able to kiss people. If I sniff their heads up close,
I can identify them too. A hundred percent. I’ll find them. But wait, no, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. He should be having a goofy voice,
so we’ll do that. We’ll do that later. If Dog successfully finds who we’re
looking for, it’s a green light. The beginning of the end. All right. So exciting. But it’s kind of iffy whether they’ll join
once they hear our goals. Yeah, that’s true. I’ll try my best to make sure we get a
yes. Oh, that’s so cute. Gelato is just like, never give up. Well, hold on a second. Well, howdy Max. Let’s go. How should I let you know if Sodom finds
the target? I’ll be by your side. So just point them out and I’ll take care
of the rest. My ability is to abduct them counts on them
not knowing then I can bring them myself. Okay. Morena, where did the others go? They’re leveling up in the processing. They’re really want to get revenge on
Hinrigh. Dude, look at them. They are powering up. Oh boy. Just like Morena said, let’s go. Level 51 is sick for real. Level one, level one, level 51. Sorry, is sick for reals. I’m running some mafia. Level 51 is insane. What? They’ve just been pumping in people. Adore. All right. From here on out, things will be rough. This tease, this tease. Oh my god, the shortcut, the shortcut is
something even crazier. I didn’t believe that Hisoka was in tier
one because it felt like because he was so committed to wanting to kill the spiders,
that it felt like he wanted to, he was changing a bit of his personality
because like realizing what happened after the Chrollo fight, he was like,
I need to change things up. I’m going to be a different person. So I was expecting him to be a little bit
different. So when Bono Hisoka,
when Bosoka showed up, I was like, yeah, Bosoka
seems like the new Hisoka. It seems like pretty correct. Like this is the kind
of personality he would have after his deal
with the Phantom Troupe. But then no, Hisoka is still alive and
well, he is still as horny as ever. He’s just trying to get turned on,
man. It’s just trying to get his groove back. That’s all that’s happening right now. Absolutely insane. But it means that. It means that he’s back. Which means that Tserri is on the field. Camilla is on the field. Benjamin is on the field. All of these powerful princes are now
going to get Hisoka all riled up. I am so excited now. If Hisoka is up there in
tier one, runs into a prince, senses their abilities,
like, oh, OK, OK, all right. So I mentioned this jokingly a couple of
volumes back that when we started seeing. Camilla do her bit, do her whole thing,
she was Hisoka levels of insanity. To the point where I was like, she’s
basically the Harley Quinn to Hisoka’s Joker. What if? What if, chat? This might happen. What if we actually might get a
Hisoka-Camilla team up? We actually might get the Joker to Harley
Quinn team up happening. Anything is possible. Anything is possible at this point. OK, we are here. 406 Regalia. It’s a very tight hallway. Oh, man, he’s got the flashlight. It’s funny because this this guy, I
didn’t even bother to write down his name. And now he’s like super important. Like, come on, come on, man. You got you got to work with me,
right? We’ll call him Joe for now. I actually think it’s something close. You know what? Let’s give him his respect. Let’s give him his respect. I do actually believe I have his name. No, I don’t. I got this guy. I got this guy. I don’t have the other guy. All right. That’s fine. That’s fine. Mustache man. It’s fine. Mustachio. All right. They’re going through the tight corridor. Phinks is like, this is a tight squeeze. We’re weaving between gaps of the
buildings. Oh, yeah. Nobunaga, I’ll keep your sword for you
when I head back. I gave you official IDs,
but the military won’t turn a blind eye to
such a Bolivian weapon. And Nobunaga is like, what? Why am I singled out, dude? I just made this. I’m not going. Listen, will you? Yours is the only obvious one. And then Feitan is like, makeshift fake
anyways. All right. It’s up to you, but tier two has a lot of
young and experienced soldiers. They may just shoot you. They head over to a hatch, opens it up. From here on out, things will be rough. What? Oh, my God. Do the R and S. Togashi. Wow. Hold on a second. This is so sick. We’re next to the hole of the Black Whale. Keep climbing. Oh, my God. I just found out where they were. Oh, wow. Keep climbing the stairs until you get to
the top of tier two. Pew yee! Takes it back. Just like that cesspit back back home. Stripping with the waste products from the
two hundred thousand souls on board. Oh. Recycling and sewage treatment facilities
are between tiers four and five. So tier five is below the sewers. Cha-R and Xi-Yu manage the treatment
plants. That’s right. Some things aren’t quite aren’t. Some things are convenient when you’re the
one handling the trash. But the actual work
is left to subcontractors running that is left to
the underlings, right? They won’t report to you every time
subcontractors change. Are you saying that, Heil-ly? Now I got a reason to turn back. Hey, replace the waste treatment personnel
and they’re free to kill all they want. Pretend to be the employment agency and
lure a whole mass of prey there. Call it interview. Take each one to a separate room. Assembly line the rest. Being with you guys makes me think I’m a
model citizen. Oh, it’s so funny, dude. OK, I’m heading back. I’ll ask him stuff if I may, if I find
them. Good luck. Sure. Got any tips for their hideout? Oh, yeah. The guy protecting it is a countertype. Attack him and you’ll trigger some
invincible nonsense. Be careful. Once activated, Nendolls that look like
security robots will kick warp you away. The door between
rooms A and B in the floor plan I gave you is the
warp point to tier three. Shouldn’t you have told us that first so
we can’t attack at all? Let them attack first. Legit self-defense should be OK. All right. Nice. All right. So Nobunaga going
back down like, all right, I’m going to handle
this other part myself. And then we still have Feitan and Phinks
heading over to tier two. Then we see this huge Star Wars like vault
door. Geesh. OK. OK, the tracker. Oh, oh, no. Oh. Hinrigh didn’t tell
us if there was a limit to his abilities, so I’m
like thinking he died. If the if the tracker is now returning
back to. Oh, no. All right. It’s getting really crowded. They’re here to send off Halkenberg. He was popular with the people. Where’s Lynch? She had something to do back at the
office. The hell he got away last time when the
military intervened. Next time we see them, catch them and have
Lynch make them talk. Asking them about their own traps is the
most efficient way. Hinrigh. And then we see. R.I.P. Lynch. Bono really did it. We found. Oh, oh, her neck is twisted back. Ah, we found her during our final sweep
ahead of the funeral procession. We knew she was you, so we contacted you
first. Thanks. A complete cervical fracture. This guy knew what to do and did it fast. He’s a pro. A war has broken out. A Heil-Ly hit hit man probably got her. We’ll take care of the body, so don’t
write it up. Just to clarify, you. You split with Lynch after Hisoka left,
right? Yeah, he knocked us both out. If Hisoka did it, he would have killed
both of us then. True. What if Lynch went after Hisoka on her
own? No, I wouldn’t have. I would have been able to tell. She really she’s really transparent that
way. In fact, I had just woken up and I was
woozy. But thinking back, Lynch was
uncharacteristically calm. She wasn’t the type
to be worried about my well-being right after
someone knocked her out. Okay. All right. He’s there piecing it together. Piecing it together. Someone else. What? If Lynch was someone else. Wait, what? The real Lynch was already dead. And if you’re the one who
woke you up was someone else, you’re saying that someone
else was disguised as Lynch. Maybe. If that was Hisoka, why would he do that? Oh, poor guy. He’s like, he’s all worried. He’s like, oh, wait, I don’t get it. That wasn’t Lynch. Hisoka was disguised as her. No, he’s much taller than her. Oh, wait, Lynch and I were just talking
about that. Oh, it would make more sense if she was
being manipulated. True. I’ve never met anyone who can change their
height. But if Hisoka was a manipulator. What’s the point of
getting her to wake up just to tell you she was
going back to the office? If she had disappeared
without a word, we’d have to think of all
sorts of possibilities. Wouldn’t that be better from the enemy’s
perspective? Well, maybe he wanted to box us in. Box us in? Yeah, it’s inconvenient
to him if we think about all the possibilities, so he
tried to limit our ideas. That would fit with the manipulation
theory. Tell me everything she said. Maybe he’ll give us a hint. Let’s see. I heard her voice say, wake up. And she said, are you OK? And I was like, huh? Oh, yeah. And then she clearly said that was
definitely Hisoka. That’s right. That’s what he wanted us to limit
ourselves to? Oh, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Wait a minute. We were just saying Hisoka might be Lynch,
but then that was Hisoka? Then who? Lynch found out Hisoka was a fake through
her ability. That’s why he silenced her. You were left alive to tell us the rest of
that. You found Hisoka not realizing it wasn’t
actually him. He’s piecing it together. A fake manipulated her to trick me? Who would ever do something so
complicated? Oh, that’s amazing. Who would ever do something so
complicated? That’s where it’s
obvious this guy is looking for Hisoka and doesn’t
want us to interfere. If we found Hisoka first, the fake Hisoka
figured we would hide that fact and give permission to their side to search for
Hisoka in vain. And that is in fact what happened. But this deduction is based on an
assumption. The facts are that you two found Hisoka
and then someone else killed Lynch. If it was the Phantom Troupe, we’ll have
to go to war with Cha-R too. It’s not a fight we should
start based on speculation, but and we see Zakuro’s
like aura flaring up. We will avenge her death, right? No matter who it was, of course. Dude, what a what an awesome set of
panels. We see Zakuro clicking in. I’m just like, I’m ready. I’m locking in. This is this is not over. And then we off the course, Hinrigh,
like I got your back, buddy. We’re back in tier three. The funeral possessions will be passing
through shortly. Oh, no, this is the announcer possessions
will be passing shortly. We are expecting a massive crowd. Remember, this is a respectful event. Do not run or push others. Please observe in silence. May 9th, Halkenberg rests in peace. And then he pulls out a book. We see Chrollo pulls out a book. We see this girl here. Calls up the love phone. All right. OK. The person who the person
whose number you called has not in this area, please try
again or in a different location. The number you’ve called has left today
is. Not even in this crowd. Oh, he’s trying to find this person. Come to think of it, it was the same as
the Heaven’s Arena. Do I try somewhere else with this number
or do I loosen the restrictions a bit? Should I go to tier one where they’re in
the middle of in the succession battle, even if it’s riskier? It must be a way to contact like people
that you met before, right? The succession battle ritual bestows
abilities. They use those abilities and fight until
there’s a sole survivor. Used in the succession battle is Kakin’s
Regalia. The three sacred treasures I seek. There’s three. OK. I thought there was just one. Oh. OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. OK. The Seed Urn, the ritual vase used for the
succession battle participants. The divine mummy overseer of the
succession battle, the Lotus Incarite. And lastly, the Sword of Ascension given
to the next king, the Sword of Good Omens. Oh, man. Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Oh, I I also love the visuals here,
right? The urn has this like menacing kind of Nen
aura from it. The Incarite has this bright light shining
through the darkness. And then we have the Sword of Good Omens,
which doesn’t necessarily have any positive or negative vibes to it,
aside from the name itself. Very, very interesting. The royal family must
found out found out by now through the
mafia that were on board. They would have never believed we’re here
just to look for Hisoka. And in fact, we are after their treasure
too. Whether they keep
all three together in one place or disperse the
risk is up to Kakin. Therefore, we thoroughly search for Hisoka
and the three treasures at the same time from the bottom up. Since neither the mafia nor the military
changes their moves much, even after they’ve heard about us upstairs,
it’s significantly less likely. They’re in tiers three to five. When I found out that Nen abilities were
used in the succession battle and that the three treasures were involved,
I knew the three treasures are the system used to create the powerful Nen needed not
only for the succession battle, but to maintain the prosperity of Kakin
itself. There must be a focal
point, a funeral hall where the treasures are enshrined, which
means it has to be in tier one. Holy treasures literally forming the root
of the Kakin’s prosperity. Root, right? Tree of Kakin? Clever, clever. You don’t even know how clever you are
Chrollo by saying that. Forming the root of
Kakin’s prosperity would be guarded more strictly
than the king himself. The greatest prize to steal
that would be undoubtedly satisfying the conditions
required to upgrade Skill Hunter. That’s the power I need to kill Hisoka for
good this time. In order to steal such a rare and powerful
ability and put it in a book, I have to achieve it, stealing
a national treasure level item before the
usual activation occurs. It’s getting harder to keep control over
two conflicting emotions. I mustn’t be impatient, but I can’t wait
forever. Making the attempt carries a greater risk
going to tier one, increases the chance that I’d run into Hisoka
before I’m completely ready to fight, but that’s not
a big problem right now. Dude, I love this. Of him, like, the two emotions is such a good moment of like, “I need
to kill him now, but I have to wait till I
get more powerful.” Dude, I love it, I love it. The next best option is already in place. The spiders will go on. The face! Even if I may die, that is what is worthy
of all my design of the spiders. Oh my god. This is so dark. The face, the horrifying face of despair
he has. We cut over to the funeral hall,
we have the Halkenberg guards carrying the casket, doing the little coffin dance,
moving along. Oh, dude, is this double page or is it
single? Oh, yeah, it is double page. Well, it’s like a page and a half. Very, very quick. The person whose number you have called
has been found, but it is out of Nen range. Oh, please change your coordinates and try
again. The number of calls you have left today is
so upstairs, as I thought. Okay, so it is kind of like a pager or
some sort of locator for where Hisoka is. Very, very fascinating. End of chapter 406. Oh, this is so good. So love a dial by using a conjured cell
phone. You can search for your
ideal partner by inputting the… will be displayed when dial
guidance will be provided. That’s, that’s very funny. That’s actually very funny. My ideal partner is Hisoka. We are in tier three and it’s
upstairs, so it could be, yeah, someone in tier two, someone in tier one. I only say Hisoka because he’s trying to
avoid him. So it’d be nice to know
if you’re, if you’re out of range, but then again, his
words were that hold on. What was his words when he originally got
the message that they’re not in the area? Not even in this crowd. Come to think of it, it was the same at
the Heaven’s Arena. Do I try somewhere else with this number
or do I listen? Okay. So he is looking for someone. It is not that he is trying to avoid. Okay. Okay. I like this. I like this. He is, he is literally trying to find
someone. Okay. That’s good to know. And not necessarily trying to avoid. Cause yeah, this, this would not make
sense if he was trying to avoid Hisoka. Chapter 407 called Negotiation. We see soldiers standing
by people watching the coffin being moved up the Halkenberg
guards going up the stairs. Damn dude. These stairs are huge. They’re going all the way up it. Okay. Day 12, Thursday, 1 PM. Oh, I should also mention we’re going to
keep track. Where is it? I say I’m going to keep track and I’ve
already lost track. Okay. Based on what I, what I’ve been looking at
10 hours remaining day 11. Wait, that doesn’t make it, that doesn’t
connect. That’s more than 10 hours. From the last time we heard a rumbling was
at 8:50. And that’s when I assume Halkenberg took
over, uh, Balsmilco, but if we’re already at day 12, 1 PM, it, it might. Okay. I’m just going to throw that away. Uh, we’re going to, we’re just going to
see what, what may. Okay. Oh man, Bork’s missing. Yeah. Last contact was right before the
procession passed her. So about 30 minutes ago,
maybe she had a sudden change, a post change,
or she went after a suspect. We were supposed to report in. If anything happens, she would have told
us. Yeah. We assumed we have to assume the worst. Oh, okay. Claw. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 10 hours after Halken’s body’s death. Oh man. When was that? Okay. I’ll have to look that up. All right. Let me, let me, I’m going to, I’m going to
briefly write the note. Okay. Uh, that Bork has been
abducted, but by whom and what for she’s a soldier
herself and was on alert. There was no struggle or commotion. Is that even possible? If it were a coordinated team,
it would be easy with a large number of people, like someone like,
uh, using something like drugs to immobilize her
and big guys to surround her. Wouldn’t be noticed in this crowd. If it was someone she knew it could have
been a one person job or someone pretending to be sick
and asked to be taken to the hospital where
they were waiting for her. If they use those
abilities, they might’ve been able to manipulate
her like with hypnosis. The Heil-Lys might be able to, or might be
using her to assassinate Tserri. So there are plenty of ways. And that’s exactly the worst case
scenario. Uh, Bork went over what to do. If one of us got caught, no negotiations,
no rescue. Are we going to stick to that plan? Hey, what are you guys doing standing
there? Spread out and do your jobs. We’re still on high alert. Think about it and decide before we’re
done here. Well, the worst case scenario is
happening. The worst case scenario is happening. Oh man. Welcome to this is Heil-Ly’s hideout. We want you to join us. We’re not going to force you. We have our reasons, but let’s just say
you’re like a compatible donor. We’ll do our best to get you to join us. I’m not physically restrained. There are six of them and they took my
weapons. That depends. You must be Morena Prudo. What do you want with me? You, so this has been an interesting, we like, we’ve seen this multiple times
before. where around a Bork’s head, it’s always
like shining bright. And I thought it was just like a visual
thing, but I think it’s an end thing. I think she’s doing something because
where is it? The first time we see her,
she has that big old smile on her face and we have all the
little octopus around her face. There we go. That’s the face. Unless it’s like, you know, the light
shining for Morena is like hitting, is like hitting Bork’s face. And then it’s just like reflecting off. Either way, let’s continue. Okay. I don’t remember any of it. It could have been a normal abduction. They use some kind of power. I don’t know. I can’t answer that right away. Not making any rash decisions is wise,
but please understand that the more we tell you, the harder it is for us to back
out. Is that a threat? Is it? Take it however you like. I can’t tell you why, but the risk
increases for both sides. The longer this takes. And whose fault is that? That’s fair. Don’t expect to balance perspective from a
crime syndicate. We can do this quickly while also giving
you a chance to get what you want. This is my first compromise. She pulls out a card. Let’s decide with a negotiation game. I’m going to assume that this is their
joker, where they don’t know if it’s going to work, but if it works, it’s going to be
big. I think Bork’s their joker. If you withdraw from this
game, you will lose the freedom to do anything
other than say yes or no. Let’s just start with the rules. The dealer makes a
request of the player, and the player makes the decision
through this process. I have 7 cards, face up on the board. You have 5 cards, face down. You pick one of my cards, and I give you
an answer. The chosen card is discarded to the
graveyard. Next, I pick one of your cards and reveal
it. That card is also discarded. We repeat, and the last of your card
remaining is your answer to our request. Let me guess. I have 4 yeses and 1 no. Turn them over from the left. Yes? No. What is this? Return. You can return one card of your choice
from the graveyard to the board. Oh, okay. If return is your last
card, you can use it to retrieve the card of your
choice to be your response. And then she flips over the joker card. Oh, man. The joker can turn into yes or no. If this is your last card, you can also
make your choice. In form only. What do you mean? You just said that take away my freedom to
do anything besides say yes or no. If I refuse to play, that means you won’t
let me leave until I say yes, right? What’s the point of playing this game at
all? Turn over the next card, okay? Flips it over. We got a dramatic panel. Moreno watching, and then car flips. We see Bork’s eyes. And… Oh, my God. This is just Yu-Gi-Oh. This is the back of a Yu-Gi-Oh card,
but it doesn’t have an X. An X? X is neither yes nor no. It means you don’t have to make a
decision. This is my last card. I can avoid the game itself. That’s right. If the X card remains, you can walk out of
here without saying yes or no. We won’t seek to renegotiate later,
of course. I promise you, but if any other card
forces you to decide yes or no, you will take full responsibility for the
consequences of your answer. Do you understand? You haven’t gone over half the rules yet,
have you? How can I answer? Even just with these rules, it’s clear the
system stacks the odds against me. At first glance, the yes card, where I
would do as she asks, is only 1 out of 5. This makes it seem like I have more
chances to refuse or leave the game, creating the illusion that the player is
advantaged. This is the first, okay. She’s definitely an end user. She’s way too smart. She’s way too smart right now. The yes card, if this lasts to remain,
I’ll have to join her. That means I’ll have to obey all the rules
they added later. It means complete defeat. But no is actually not different from yes. It pretends to be my friend, but no will
bare its fangs as soon as the game begins. It depends on the explanations of the yes
and no cards. She’ll explain all sorts of horrible things
that would happen around me if I say no. This will keep going until I decide that
saying yes is better. So no and joker are pointless. My real cards are return in X. 2 out of 5. 40% isn’t such bad odds considering the
situation. Well, that’s the second trap. No matter how many cards are good for me,
none of it actually matters. As long as the game entails her picking my
cards, they can Cheadle they want. Okay, I’ll explain my cards. And the third trap is the worst. The aim card. If you pick this card, I’ll explain my
goals. What we’re trying to do by inviting you
here and recruiting you. I’ll try to be as concise as I can,
but if you have any questions pertaining to my goals, I’ll provide additional
information. The next card is if you pick up this,
I’ll explain my ability. The power card. Although it might go
over your head a little bit, I’ll tell you only the truth
without hiding anything. I’ll go into as much detail as you want
until you understand. But again, the longer this takes,
the more risk to both of us. I might have to talk pretty quickly. Question A. I’ll answer as many questions
as you have as many times as you want, except anything
about my goals or my ability. If you want to know about those things,
use these cards. And my answers to your questions will only
be in the form of yes or no or yes and no. If you want more detail regarding an
answer I gave to one of your questions, you’ll have to pick the question card on a
later turn. I’ll explain it in greater depth until it’s
cleared up, but only about one question. And it must be the last question you ask
during the question A round. So be careful when you bring the question
A round to a close. All right? I don’t need to hear yes or no answers. I’ll be able to tell through her tone and
verbal cues. There’s something I need to confirm about
the way you answer. May I try it out? Go ahead. You will not cheat in this game at any
point, yes or no. No. Yeah, of course. She’s smiling and we have two other… we
have Gelato and… what the… what the… what is this guy’s name? We got Gelato and… oh man, this guy with
a crazy name. We’ll just call him Voc for now. We got Gelato and Voc. Here, smiling like… yeah, of course. She says you will not cheat at this game. She might not be cheating, but you see
those other two next to her? There’s four people around you right now. Sorry, no, seven, right? She said seven. Negative questions can create the
potential for misunderstandings. It’s quite important to clear up any
confusion beforehand. When answering any of the questions such
as, you haven’t done it, yes or no, there are cultures that reply,
yes, I have not. Caught. Caught. Usually, the person answers for themselves
and yes and no are absolute terms. Thus, no, I have not. But for some reason, these people focus on
the questioner’s perspective and answer yes, meaning you are correct or I agree
with you. Maybe it was an old hierarchy, mindset,
or the philosophy of selfless hospitality. Oh, I know. Oh, I got you. Oh, oh, selfless. You’re calling me selfless? Come on, dude. Okay. Let me join. Let me, let me join the disciples here. Okay. In some dialect, the reflexive pronoun
self gets used in second person context as if they’re stepping into the other’s
shoes. Crazy, huh, Yokotani? Sorry, I don’t even realize I do that. It looks like this game works as an
initiative when soliciting new members and an interview. Marina uses this exchange to observe the
subject to examine their personality, intelligence, and judge whether they are
compatible for her team. Your answer? No, I will not cheat. I’m answering from my perspective. Does that work with you? Oh my God. She, she just activated shoujo eyes. She is locked in. Yes. I feel so much anger from her. What in the world is she angry about? Now, as for the yes and no cards,
she won’t cheat. It’s obvious she has absolute control
simply by looking at her and her cronies. She’s confident, but still respectful
towards me. From her attitude and
intonation, I can tell cheating isn’t allowed at
the organizational level. With these, I’ll explain
in detail what happens when you’re left with yes
or no as your last cards. Pick these cards if you want to know that
in advance. Last is D. The D clan is here! The deal card. Pick this card if there’s a card you really
need to take back from the graveyard. You’ll get it by granting a small request
of mine. Once you hear what it is, you don’t have
to do it if you think you can’t. But in that case, it becomes my turn and
deal will go to the graveyard. The game ends when you’re left with one
card, so your last chance to use this card is when you’re down to two cards. There, I’ve explained all the card rules. Now, will you decide whether you’ll play
the game? I will under one condition. And what is that? I’ll decide which cards you’ll pick of my
facedown cards. Is that okay with you? Sure, that happens before. Oh, she’s okay. She’s referring to yes, we’ve done this before I’ve
done this before yet And I’ll take care of the shuffling right
now. Let’s begin. Oh, damn. What a cool chapter of. Seeing the recruitment process. Now, I hope that we get to
see this in detail so that all of us can play at home and whether
we’re going to be participate. Well, we’re going to be doing
joining the heli crew. So very, very exciting. I love it. Number 408. Negotiation Part 2. You go first. Please pick a card. All right. We see Bork’s finger picking the aim card. Oh, dude, the sparks here. Oh, my God. Hell yes. Negotiation game begin. The aim card. Why did you pick this? What, chit chat is allowed? Then I’ll go for it. But there’s no penalty, is there? Of course. It’s all right. We might as well get to know each other. And then. Gelato smiles. Say, are there others? Maybe about 50 in all. Yokotani smiling. Nice trick. They’re not going to talk. There are others, but no more questions. Use a card if there’s something you want
to ask. I picked aim to help me decide. Obviously. Fine. I won’t answer any of your questions
either. Oh, that’s sad. All right. If you answer one question, you can ask me
one question, too. Thank you. So. Less than 50 of them. They didn’t stiffen up and their response
was quick. So my guess wasn’t even close. I’ll be about half that. My goal is the destruction of Kakin. Once that’s done, I will keep trying until
the destruction of all humanity. I need to do that. Need is a very interesting word. And also, these are very beautiful eyes
for a very scary lady of death. Oh, my goodness. The face of her just smiling out there
saying that like, oh, yeah, she’s like, huh? That’s not enough at all. If complete understand, if complete
understanding is 100 percent, I’m at I’m I’m at a three right now. Oh, you’re very curious. All right. Now I should probably
start my upgrade bringing me get my I
see a big panel coming on. I’m ready. Do you know of the second track fakers? Yes. The royals without succession rights like
you. Yes. The actual Moreno Purdo. But I’m not even a royal. The real Moreno is in a in a grave marked
for me. She ain’t even Moreno. What? Then who are you? Oh, my God. The carnival of all the mystique. That should give you an idea. You’re a carnival orphan. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. We got the Phantom Troupe and we got the
circus. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Me and Hisoka grew up together in the
circus and the carnival. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. No, I just can’t just do this. That was not this is not going to actually
happen if that is an actual thing. No way. No way. Oh, why are we saying carnival? There’s like one clown in the series. Oh, no. I don’t even want to read this because. Oh, no. I’m convincing myself this actually might
happen. Carne Levare, literally farewell to flesh,
a carnival for Kakin royal families held once every few years, the royal family
travels incognito to a random. Last stream, or I should say this
technically this volume when I said, no, I know it was last volume when I said
that at some point there’s going to be a circular reason why the Phantom Troupe is
here in the Succession arc. There’s got to be some connection to the
Kakin royals. And then I was like, hey, what about this? I was like, hey, hey, guys, what if this
was like something here? That would be kind of crazy here,
huh? And maybe there’s like a deeper meaning to
why Kurapika is also here as well. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Are we are we connecting everything
together? Oh, it’s going to be so sad. OK, let me read. Let me read. Let me read. Literally, farewell to flesh, a carnival
for the Kakin royal family held once every few years, the royal family travels
incognito to a randomly selected village and holds a feast. Every every single villager is sorted on
the spot as an entertainer or other. Lese Majeste. Oh, my God. We’re not going to say French here. I can’t pronounce anything. An offense against the crown, punishable
by death before modern times, crimes even included lower ranking
officials speaking frankly and civilians
looking royal in the face. Even in present day, post-dramatization,
contraception, abortion and genetic testing of royals are considered
treasonous acts against the prosperity of royal descendants and are immediately
punishable by death. My mother was forced to entertain the royals
for several days without rest or sleep. She was unable to even be aware
that she’d become pregnant or even birthed to me and finally
died when I was two years old. That is depressing. All carnival orphans were scarred at birth
and sent into an institution, a base of operations for human trafficking
organizations run by Heil-Ly and affiliated with the underground hospital that treated
the mothers. And I should treat it with quotes. Here we were scientifically sorted into
second track fakers or flesh. I was categorized as flesh. And we see this lob of flesh with a knife
through it. For the next 20 or so years as flesh,
you get the idea. Recently, I was fortunate to become boss
of Heil-Ly. When I fulfilled my role
as flesh, I discovered a certain talent of mine and
I was honed it bit by bit. And we see her generating some menin. That’s my ability, which
served as a catalyst from which I came to
plot Kha ‘kin’s demise. The Carne Levare is held irregularly. Orphans are classified to the last two
digits of the Kakin calendar. I’m year 98. Over the 20 years before I became
Heil-Ly’s, she’s a millennial! Oh my god, yeah, let’s go! Over the next, it could be like late
millennial, early Gen Z, you know? Over the 20 years before
I became Heil-Ly’s boss, there have been seven
batches of carnival children. The most recent batch of orphans is year
’20, meaning the last carnival was held two years ago, the years after the
democratization commemoration celebration. BAM! We got a lot of “tions” here, okay. Do you understand Kakin hasn’t changed
at all? And it won’t change ever. This is the general framework from which
my desire to destroy Kakin grew. I need people to help achieve my goal,
each with special abilities. And the one whose ability will fill the
most critical role is you. We still see the light shining from Bork. That’s why we invited you here and why
we’re trying to recruit you. Bork’s like, how do you know it’s me? I can’t answer that with this card. And that’s it for just one. And then we have Orarge rearranging the
cards. Clever, clever, good, good use of the
character, good use of the character, Togashi. Okay, please slide a card towards me and
flip it over. She slides a card over, about to flip it. Joker. The Joker. Yes and no are no different to me. So this card practically has no effect on
me. Discard the Joker and pick the next card. The power card. Wow. She’s blushing. She’s blushing. That’s so funny. You’re asking about me twice in a row. I’m flattered. I’ll try to explain as clearly as I can. Have you heard about Nen? Only recently. I don’t know how much of what I’ve heard
is right. Okay. Maybe she doesn’t have Nen, but she’s
shining. She’s always shining. There’s always light. There’s something, there’s something up
with it. Okay. It’s basically a superpower and it’s
supposedly being used in the succession battle. That’s correct. As a general understanding, it’s true. It’s like a superpower, but anyone can
learn it with training. There are also abilities that can awaken
people to Nen. My ability includes that aspect. So you don’t need to train a long time. Just getting ready for when I get my Nen
abilities. I see. Then could you tell me what your ability
is? Yes. To put simply, my ability
is to give abilities to those with the same goal as me
and to spread that circle. I am the dealer, or matter, as it were,
with a maximum of 22 players or children. Once they’ve earned
enough points, they can also become a parent themselves
and produce more children. Rather like a pyramid scheme. I listen to each other. I listen to their goals,
consider their attributes and assist and support the
development of their abilities. How cunning. Aim and ability. The structure of the explanation is such
that no matter which is picked first, you want to hear the other. If I picked ability first, she wouldn’t go
any further than this. To be honest, we, or I rather,
don’t want Kakin to cease to exist. Duty, responsibility, national defense,
none of it means much to me. I was going to float through the rest of
the hopefully long life ahead of me to unnerving to have someone else big ambition
suddenly waltz in and mess that all up. I don’t need it. Okay. Each isn’t it to destroy Kakin? Yes. Let me explain to you in this chart that I
will need to enhance and enhance. Okay. There we go. My eyes are getting old. I need to see this better. Enhance, enhance. There we go. Perfect. I can read it now. I was in military school since before I
remember, and I was taught that my duty was defending the country’s safety. As long as war doesn’t break out during my
lifetime, right? Fortunately, I was smart enough to squeak
into officer training school. We had to risk our lives to listen to pop
songs from rival countries a few months after their release, but
learning about the untouchable outside world was a normal
part of our high school curriculum. We have the worst flood control in the
world, yet we rank the highest in manufacturer and man-made
particles that linger in the stratosphere and information
processing throughput. That’s the kind of country I live in,
but it’s still home. All I wanted was to have a modest ordinary
life in my own little corner. Oh, and probably somewhere in between
military prep school instructor in the boonies and I don’t know, a secretary
number four for the general affairs office, deputy director at national
defense agency. I don’t want any of this. Things turned iffy when Beyond or whoever
pledged to our, to the new continent. And now we’re talking about superpowers
and destroying humanity. Destroying Kakin is my own personal
small goal. Oh, no, no. I see. I promised to take you there. And then Morena continues. Destroying Kakin is my own personal
small goal. All right. Let me dehance. Dehance in this. Dehance. Dehance. Dehance. Okay. Right. This is good. Perfect. Okay. I’m sorry for you. I really do. But even if I wanted
someone in my life to go away, I’d never consider
murder as an option. The larger goal we have
in common here is killing people in general,
either directly or indirectly. We all had different reasons and
circumstance is targets and quotas. Those are our own small goals. The superpower is greatly affected by
personality and state of mind. I’m glad I found out that
you’re an honest person and that I can’t relate
at all to your goals. But this information, I have to get out of
this extraordinary mess, no matter what. All right. You just said personality affects
superpowers. How do you know my ability that I don’t
even have yet? Is important when you hardly know me. You can’t hide behind the rhetoric that
everyone is special. Isn’t that a negotiation tactic to make me
think I’m special? You are a specialist. Nen abilities are classified into six
types. Specialist, manipulator, emitter,
enhancer, transmuter, conjurer. Yours is very rare among them. One of my people is an enhancer. And then we just have Dogman over the
crowd. He enhances his sense of smell and gain
the ability to sniff out the abilities. He is currently at the level where he can
identify a person’s type just from the faint aura they emit before they awaken to
Nen. Even now, he’s searching for people like
you, specialists, before they know Nen. It may not be accurate as
it’s from my own research, but I think the occurrence of
specialists is about 1 in 3000 people. Surely you can figure out what that means. and the Orarge just staring at Bork
is so funny just like hey It’s comparatively rare
to be sure, but there could very well be 50-60 more
of them aboard this ship. It would be best if we could find someone
with a larger goal in common. It doesn’t have to be you in particular. In fact, he’s come across a few
specialists who already know Nen. He was quite excited that one of them was
a floor master of the Heaven’s Arena. Sure famous among the MMA crowd. Oh, okay. And then we see a picture of Chrollo here. Great. That’s what I mean by your risk
increasingly longer this takes. Okay. So she basically is saying like,
Hey, if you join, if we find someone else like you’re dead, that’s it for explaining
my abilities. She’s like, I want to hear a
bit more about specialists, specifically about what kind
of ability you have me acquire. Hmm. That’s relatively related to that. Yes or no cards. I’ll explain about specialists, but
very simply, it’s just very, very useful. There are practical limitations for other
types. Transmuters, for example, have a hard time
learning manipulation abilities, but specialists have none of that. If there were any negatives at all,
it’s that they might not realize they’re specialists, focus on other types and
regret it later. This can and does happen. So if you know what you are beforehand,
you can try learning a really unique ability that doesn’t belong to any type or
hybrid ability that would usually require training in multiple types to advance a
level. As a side note, I am also a specialist. My ability is quite unique. Join me in learning and improving Nen
abilities based on points. How convenient and advanced hybrid of all
five types it seems. So of course have a specific
requirement pertaining to your ability, but that’s
more of this card over here. So I can’t say anything else. I’m sorry. If you pick the X card,
I’ll tell you what kind of ability I’d want you to learn
if you choose to join us. It’s part of the discussion of what role
you expect to have once you join our team rather than a question or Nen abilities. Got it? Yes. No matter which card. Oh, and then we see Orarge shuffling
the cards again. I pick next from the remaining four,
it doesn’t change my number of options. It seems like she’d still
answer questions a bit on cards, even after they
get sent to the graveyard. The more information I
have, the better, but the time risk she mentioned
also comes into play. Whether I prolong this game or not can be
decided once my options become limited. Flips the card over. It is the yes, yes card. Oh dear. That’s too bad. The second card and you are already not
joining us. The others are also disappointed. This tells me at least that they haven’t
witnessed any cheating in the past. Don’t be optimistic. Have they even played this game before
with someone who doesn’t want to join them? If I’m the first, of course they react
that way. Oh well, I’ll do my best until the very
end. No and X are very different after all. Do you want to know how? Well, sure, I’ll oblige. I’ll pick the no card. Okay, I’ll explain what happens if the no
card is the last to remain. The essential part is difference. No means you won’t join us, where X voids
the game itself. We consider no as a firm expression of your
will, a complete and irrevocable rejection. Here it comes. Yes and no are basically the same. This is the time to persuade,
threaten, to persuade, threaten me until I think yes is the only
option between yes and no. I’ll take it to mean,
I’ll take it to mean you and those around you
will not be one of us. You will be classified as
other, simply points for us to accrue in order to level
up and to attain our goal. We won’t try to recruit you again. However, we can’t have you leave after
you’ve known our secrets. And there it is. Doesn’t that basically mean even the X
card is pointless? The third trap, this, that this game
itself is all a trap to make me say yes. The death card game. If the X remains, it would still be the
same that you know our secrets, but that too will be included in the
voiding of the game. That doesn’t mean we erase your memory. We trust you and pretend that
none of this happened and we’ll try not to make any contact
with you if at all possible. Not to mention there will be no cheating
by twisting that none of it happened into pulling a, hey, we’ve never met,
have we? Let’s play a game. We’ll also try not to involve anybody
around you. Specifically, we’ll go over the
information we’ve learned and the people you care about, share that information
among us and avoid those people. Although considering
our ultimate goal, the more correct expression would
be put them off until later. To save time, I need to ask outright. The X card not only has no merits for you,
but the risks to you are high. I can’t believe that you trust me under
the circumstances either. Can you explain how this makes sense for
you so I understand? Oh, good. I was just about to explain that. It’s actually a long story
and look, I got many pages to tell you, but the merits
are precisely very risky. Cue light novel. Okay, nevermind. I’ve, I see vows and limitation,
high risk, high return. It’s very important component in Nen. If the negotiation failed in a game of
life or death, well, that’s it. Even if it comes to a great risk,
I must accept the outcome. By playing the game that way, my ability
can more strongly support my team. It’s the same for those who join by taking
on the risk that you die. If no, is your last card, the effects of
my ability and the resulting team unity becomes stronger. That didn’t upset you much. Wonderful. Well, I knew it was coming in. I guess I don’t feel real yet. Oh, it feels quite real. When you come down to two cards,
go on X now, the cards I have left are no death and return survival. And then Benjamins,
Benjamin activated special martial law, special martial
law has been declared. This is not a drill. This is not a drill. Morena. Bork. What? Why do God make things so complicated? It’s it’s Oh my God. Here we go. It’s happening. It’s happening. Oh, my goodness. Absolute incredible. As the end of chapter 408. Like they they went to different places,
so I’m expecting us to see a little bit of. Kurata, I’m expecting to see a little of
Meteor City. Kakin has infiltrated every single village
is how I’m saying. Yep, Claw, you’re absolutely right. It is just everyone is just treating like
hunks of flesh. Very honestly, it is very
similar to how Tserri has already treated women
throughout this story so far. Claw says which of the prince’s party? Yeah, yeah, Tserri for sure. Absolutely. For the way he treats women, absolutely. Benjamin. Oh, OK. OK, hold on a second. Oscar says Benjamin. He is he is he runs the Royal Guards. He there he has he has probably some sort
of like, yes, this is the job of my father and this is the job of Kakin. You know, he has deluded himself into
thinking that some way this is for Kakin. So yeah, yeah, I could see Benjamin doing
it as well. Sale-Sale for sure. The way Camilla treats people already,
I could see Camilla as well. Honestly, it’s all the older. I think, honestly, it could just be four
and up, four and up, if you like it. Honestly, even five, even five for like
experimental purposes for Tube sciences. And we got Sale-Sale as that’s the eight
son. Maybe Halkenberg is the only one who’s out
there. Oh, my God, there could be just so all all
the older ones. Claw says, please, Luz, don’t go there. I imagine I imagine he goes there. The thing that the
difference, I think, would be for different princes that they
all don’t do the same thing. They’re just all supportive of it. So for Luz’s stuff, it’s either it’s
probably drug related. So he’s not like, you know, he’s not like
treating like people like meat, but in the way he is doing his own thing,
it is still allowing Kakin to kind of basically not not not through association,
but like what he is doing is still negatively impacting the villages that
they’re visiting. It’s kind of the way I’m thinking about
it. So like not everyone’s going to be like
treating. You know, treating people
in the same way as like like a Tserri would, but they are
definitely in some way doing things. Chapter 409 negotiation. Part three. Special martial law. Special martial law has been declared. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Passengers of tier five follow orders from
the military police and their bosses. The problem in an upper tier will not
affect tier five. Do not be alarmed. Likewise, with tier four, the
closure of the passageway is to prevent the problem
from disrupting the lower tiers. Safety measures are in place. And this issue will not affect tier four. All citizens on tier three face the
nearest wall and and knee. Place both hands on the wall and stand by. Do not move until you receive orders from
the Royal Army. If you will not comply, you will be shot. Special martial law, the maximum alert
level in response to a national threat. With this announcement, all
Royal Army soldiers are granted the right to shoot anybody
suspicious without warning. It will be their duty to remove any armed
citizens and eliminate subversives. Oh man. Even Morena is a bit tense. I don’t blame her. I was just on tier one a short while ago
and I still didn’t expect this. But now I can narrow down where we are. They wouldn’t broadcast the upper tier
announcements to lower tiers. Now I know for sure we are above tier
three. She’s cooking. If the broadcast continues, I’ll be able
to narrow it down more. I pick deal. What? It’s my turn. The deal card. All citizens on tier two return to your
rooms at once. Do not hold anything in your hands and
await further instructions. Leave all doors open. Sit on a chair and place
both hands on a table or keep them raised
above your shoulders. You’re so calm. Even through this, it’s amazing. Dude, I love her smile. Oh my god, this is great. Alright, the game goes on. I didn’t think the risk to our side would
actually surface with this timing. At this volume, she should have heard me
over the announcement if she was listening. She had to ask twice because she was
distracted by the announcement and two, she needed to buy time to organize her
thoughts. Either way, this interruption benefits me. She understood the emergency yet agreed to
continue the game. She either thinks this
hideout won’t be found or she’s confident they
won’t be neutralized. This isn’t that big a deal, but for me,
if this game continues without a hitch, we won’t argue over the results. It would be best, of course, if the Royal
Army continues in and neutralizes them, but then I couldn’t get a
hit by a stray bullet or they might assume I’m one of
Morena’s people and shoot me. Even if I don’t get shot, I’d likely be
taken into custody, questioned, and tortured. The deal card means you can take back a
card from the graveyard, but fulfilling my small request to get
out of this peacefully as possible, I need to leave
the game with X card. I know what to request. Already. A kiss. Already granting the ability. Okay, can I play this game now? Oh, yeah. Bork’s like, ah, oh. Oh my God, I did, okay, we’re highlighting
this entire panel. I’m highlighting this entire panel. That’s, I’d rather not. A mouth-to-mouth, a deep kiss. Just one, but it’ll last until I’m
satisfied. Okay, I’m ready. How do I get to Tier 2 from here? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? Tier 2? I don’t know. Alright. It has to do with my ability, so I’ll warn
you. The kiss is one of the conditions to Grant
my ability to my followers. I need to fulfill three conditions to have
you join me. A. The negotiation game must end with a yes. B. I infect you with my ability via a kiss. C. You must be present where I or someone on
my team commits murder. The order doesn’t matter, but all three
must happen or it won’t count, so don’t worry. Please decide whether you oblige under
these conditions. Silence. Silence. Everyone on Tier 1, please return to your
rooms and await a military investigation. Once that’s done, your
freedom to resume your daily activities prior to
martial law is guaranteed. The emergency broadcast meant for Tier 1. It would never broadcast in the lower
tiers. It means we’re in Tier 1. Was there a way on the cruise ship to kidnap
me from Tier 3, then carry me to Tier 1? Interesting, because I
believe our understanding was they could have been on
Tier 2, but this is different. That can’t be right. She’s the Heil-Ly boss. She pretended to be the second track faker
to take over. She had a residence on Tier 1 to begin
with as a shadow to the royals. If they’ve set it up so they get all the
broadcasts here, we could be anywhere. I know it’s a lot to ask. I promise we won’t force any of those
conditions on you. There’s something I need to know and I
have to get the X card back. I’ll do it. I have to. All right, step over here. look at the commitment. She’s like, she’s like, I’m locked in. I’m ready for the kiss. Oh, well, I’m sorry. Huh? What for? Well, I didn’t think that would. Oh, they did kiss. Oh, gosh. She just, just really. Oh, wait, we got to get closer. Togashi, I just, just wanted to just,
just, okay. Togashi, I just, I think we’re missing a
page here, Togashi. Um, there’s, okay. So she says, I have to, I have to do the
kiss. Right. And she’s like, all right, step over here. And then when I flipped the page,
right, this is page, uh, what is this page? One, two, three, four. This is page four. Then when I flip over to the next page,
we don’t, we don’t see the kiss. And so I’m thinking we’re like,
we’re missing a page. So I’m expecting, Togashi,
when you get ready to do the volume, just add
that extra page in there. Right. It could be honestly, double page spread
if you want. Okay. Double page spread. Just ask. Just, uh, just, just, you. I mean, I mean, come on, man. Why are we skipping? Why are we skipping important information? This is important. Okay. That’s fine. That’s fine. That’s fine. I forgive you, Togashi. We cut back to the conversation. Morena is surprised that this was Bork’s
first kiss. Wow. I didn’t think that would be your first. How did you, how do you, how, how would
you know? Don’t answer that. Do you want to take a minute? What’s the big deal? She’s like, she’s flustered. That’s so cute. How, how, how would you know? Don’t answer that. Do you want to take a minute? What’s the big deal? Okay. I want that ex back. Come on. Let’s go. Let’s go. Give me the ex back. You don’t have to push yourself. This is seriously unnecessary. Hold on. Arrange is about to shuffle the card and
she’s like, hold on. It’s like, don’t you, don’t, don’t you
touch that ex card, buddy. Like, stop it. Don’t touch that ex card. These two cards. Can I turn them over and look at them? I took my eyes completely off them during
your sexual harassment session. That’s such a great way of describing it. As I’ve been saying, I am not cheating. You still want to see them. Are you saying they’re both ex? Yes. It’s not a problem if you’re not cheating,
is it? No, it’s not. But it’s sad. Some people want to look
through their partner’s cell phone while claiming you wouldn’t
mind if you’re not guilty. It just says you don’t trust me. That’s that’s really turns me off. That’s okay with you. What happened to privacy rights? that’s so funny for someone who kills a
bunch of people. Yes. Can I flip them over? So sad. We even kiss. Shut up. I wasn’t kissing. I’m flipping them over. She flips them over. And it’s the same cards. See, there are no and return. Yes. And then arrange. We get a sick panel of just him shuffling. Lays out the three cards. Okay, take your pick. She takes the far left one. I love that we have just the The X card. Oh, that’s too bad. Would you like to check those two cards
again? Go on, please pick your last card. If you have one question, we can skip the
QA card and go straight to QB. I pick the QA card. Okay, I’ll answer as many questions as you
have. Let’s begin. This hideout is somewhere on tier five. No. This hideout is on either tier four or
tier three. No. This hideout is on either tier two or tier
one. I knew it. Tier one. No. Oh, no. She’s glowing with aura. It’s what Nobunaga was saying this place
was so weird. They’re in some sort of like alternate
dimension. We already have someone
who can control time by 10 seconds if she can
create like ethereal spaces. Oh, man, you’re lying. No. This hideout is on board the Black Whale. Yes. This hideout is made using a Nen ability. Yes and no. Huh. What? Where could it be? What? It can’t be this hideout. We hear. Is between tiers two and three. Yes. The waste disposal area. Okay, this was planned all along since
before they built the Black Whale. That was the sound of
these central gates connecting tiers two and three
being completely shut. We must be around here. The entrance to the hideout is somewhere
regular people can access. There are multiple entrances. Yes and no. Oh, no. Sorry. She says the entrance. Okay. We’re cutting back and forth quickly. Okay. So Bork is like the entrance to the hideout
is somewhere regular people can access. And then Morena’s like yes and no. There are multiple entrances. Yes. There are two entrances in all. No. Three? No. Four? No. Five? Uh, yes. Her first pause before her
answer wasn’t hesitation, more like counting in her
mind to ensure she’s truthful. I’ll use those vows and limitations to my
advantage. Including you, there are now 23 of you in
all. No. 22? No. So you won’t be able to get any of us
after I leave. 21? Yes. If I get to walk away from
here, the information you will gather will be voided
and you’ll keep your promise. Yes. If the no card is the last to remain,
you’re going to kill me. Yes. You’re the only specialist among the 21 of
us. Sorry, I’m already including myself with
you guys. You’re the only specialist among the 21 of
you. Yes. You know all 20 of their abilities. No. There’s currently one enhancer. No. I’ll squeeze as much information as I can
out of them and then we just see in the shadows just a bunch of speech bubbles of
her asking more additional questions. Alright. Last question. I’m actually glad I talked to you and got
to know you. If I get the card that enables me to
leave, I’ll try to change Kakeen in ways that I can, but you don’t intend to change
your goals. No. You won’t change your goals at all. No. You won’t change your goals no matter what
happens. No. If we could find something, maybe anything
that could allow us to meet halfway, maybe if we connect
by playing a game of Gungi, would you consider
changing your plans? No. I will not. I will not change my goals. Alright. Orarge pulls out the no card and the
reversal card, shuffles the cards again, places them on the table. Everyone is watching. Now decide which card to discard and slide
it forward. This is your last card. Okay. I’m going to try not to get spoiled,
so I’m covering up the bottom half of the page so that I’ll be reading this panel by
panel. Alright. She slides over the card. Alright. They’re both staring at each other. Let’s do this at the same time. Alright. Okay. It’s not here. If that returns, I die. If this is returned, I’ll forget
everything that happened here and leave. Alright then. On zero. Three. Alright. Covering it again. We’re not getting spoiled. Two. Alright. She’s holding the card. One. Zero. We have a bunch of lines. Alright. Moving. I see their faces. Right now, I’m just going to highlight
their faces. I see their faces. Both of them hunched over. Like, that is a gamer neck. Morena’s got that gamer neck going on. She’s hunched over, looking at it. Bork is ready. The reversal card and the no card. Oh. And then, she is so happy. She’s like, yes! Oh god! I’m free! Oh, that’s great. Good job, Bork. That’s also very, very wonderful image you
got there, Dogashi. Congratulations! Shame, but it is what it is. Now, exchange return with the card you
want and the game is over. Oh, sorry. I crushed the return card. It’s all crumpled now. It’s alright. We use a new set every time. That’s good. Wait, what? Isn’t that a mistake? Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second. Wait, why is Morena saying this? I crushed the card. I retrust the return card. It’s all crumpled now. It’s alright. We use a new set every time. That’s good. Morena looks down at the card. Isn’t that a mistake? Oh my god, she’s not pulling the void
card. She’s not. What the hell is she doing? Bork! She’s not. She’s not doing the void card. No, there’s no. Why would she? Cinema. Absolute cinema. Wow. It’s not a mistake. What happened? What happened? I thought. When did she switch? It’s here. This was weird. She feels like much like she. Oh. Dude, Bork is such a good person. Bork is such a. I know. I know exactly why. This is this is so touching. This is actually really. I do. Bork. Immediately Bork is skyrocketing. Much like she feels like she can change
Kakeen on the inside. She feels like she can change Morena. This is the whole plan. She feels like she can change her. Dude, she’s cooking. Oh, my God. Dude, Bork, number one. Dude, this has to be it. That’s the only reason why I can tell that
she would say yes. She really feels like she can change her. Yeah, exactly. As Soresgerr points out, I can fix her. Bork’s like, I can fix her. Oh, my God. Oh, I love it. Oh, that’s amazing. Oh, I freaking love it. Oh, that’s so good. She had Claw says she had the return
card, so she could choose. Exactly. That’s what’s so good. It was like she could choose whatever
card. And the fact that Morena was like,
that was a mistake. It was like, it’s not the X card. It’s not the X card. Oh, dude, this is so good. Togashi, bravo. OK, before I get too distracted,
we have one more chapter left. A six month journey is about to conclude. I have heard about Hunter x Hunter for so
long. I think the first time I’ve ever seen
Hunter x Hunter was back when Borders was a bookstore and not just a husk of a
company. I would go to the manga section,
I was probably in, how old was I? Maybe I was in, this could be,
this probably is like 2009, 2010, maybe even earlier. I was in a Borders
and I was looking to purchase some manga
and I looked on the shelf. Seeing all these manga here, I was trying
to find out, I think I was just looking for like Fullmetal Alchemist, like manga
stuff, either Fullmetal Alchemist or Ranma. But I see one of the manga here. And the reason why I vividly remember this
is because of the cover. I pick out the cover and I see the words
Hunter x Hunter. And the picture is, I think of volume one,
it’s going on top of the frog or whatever. And I was like, oh, this looks like kiddie
stuff. No, thank you. And I put it down, never saw it again. And then, of course, going to conventions,
seeing so many Hunter x Hunter things, so many, everyone loving Hunter,
Hunter. And I’m like, man,
that would have been really cool to experience
that or to see that. This all looks very, very cool. Very awesome. And oh, knocking over my light. But I still didn’t bother to get into
Hunter x Hunter, you know, and it took me. And even after right, 2011, watching level
E, loving level E, knowing that it was from the creator of Yuyu Hakusho and
from Hunter x Hunter, I was like, well, I don’t know, I’m still not going to
watch it. And finally, finally, 2025,
I give it a shot and God damn, it is one of the best
manga I have ever written. OK, I did not. Sorry, I’m not Togashi. I did not write it. I am meant to say that I have I’ve read,
read. I don’t know why I said written. I’ve read this and it’s absolutely peak
and amazing. Oh, my goodness. Hunter x Hunter definitely pushed me away at
first due to his childish appearance. Huge mistake. Honestly, to be fair, I don’t know what is
what was wrong with my like early 20s, late to most early 20s, all teens,
because the original Hunter x Hunter aesthetic of the cover turned me off. But if I actually read it, I would have
loved it. And also keep in mind, right, this is this
thing. I like making the jokes that like I I’ve
been told about one piece in 2008 and I decide not to read one piece because I
thought it was too kiddy because of, you know, I I’m a big man and I watch big,
big anime like Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon. and Full Metal Alchemist. You know, like I was the most hypocritical
person there. I think it was just because it was like
the big three. I was like, no, I’m good. I’m too good for that. You know, so I like there I have no good
reasons if I actually read even a chapter of one piece or Hunter x Hunter,
I would have been a lifelong fan. I would have been a lifelong fan. Absolutely. It’s just that, you know, I I was a dumb
high schooler. Six months, we’re finally here. Chapter 410 Negotiation Part 4. This is for the last time. You can change your answer after this. Yes, that’s fine. No, no, don’t. That’s not what I want. Stop. That’s not true. Wait, what? Oh, no. Somebody used their ability. It’s not as simple as I thought. Stop, that’s not true. No, no. This is the card I choose. I see. I’m happy you’re going to join us,
but just a little disappointed. You cheated, didn’t you? What? It must have been after you used the deal
card. You stopped the shuffle and double checked
the two cards on your board. That’s when you marked the return card. Oh, these two cards. Can I turn them over and look at them? See, they’re no and return. Yes. And she marked the card. OK. You must have put a tiny indentation on the
front along on the front along both edges. It’s too far for me to see and arranged
the shuffler would only see the back of the cards, but you could
see it no matter which way the card was
oriented after shuffling. By crushing the card in your moment of
victory, you could get rid of the evidence. Oh, she’s like, oh, damn, she caught me. This game and those cards are part of my
ability. If you cheat, the
manipulative if you cheat, the manipulative aspect of my
ability is automatically triggered. You can only pick yes or no. OK, never mind. Bork, I was very excited that
I thought you were going to change her from within and
everything was going to be all good. But you cheated and it’s not the case and
it’s not the card you wanted. And oh boy, this is complicated. OK, your choices for the
last card were reduced to two, but you only have
you didn’t even get wait. Hold on. You you even lied. You said that you explained all the rules
and this was a rule that was not explained, but you only have yourself to
blame for your ultimate choice. Oh, my. You should have intuited that cheating is
tantamount to abandoning this serious game. So by yes, you’re going to join us. Yes, I will join you. And then we hear she
is forced into bowing to welcome the brand
new member of our team. I’ll explain the yes card that you didn’t
choose during the game. As long as you’re alive and on our side,
we won’t come after you or the people dear. Dear to you, of course. My ability, here we go, is called
Contagion with Attitude of Love. It’s like a game app. It installs. It’s it’s installed in you yourself,
and I manage the play data. I always know your level, number of
points, location and status. You cannot remove it. The game continues until you clear the
game. The admin ceases to exist or the phone is
destroyed. I already told you the three conditions to
join us. Clear them and the process will be
complete. You’re actually quite free to do what you
want after that. For example, I don’t recommend it,
but infighting and backstabbing aren’t forbidden as long as it’s not too
flagrant. And here we have this creepy face on her. Oh my God, that’s horrifying. Still bowing? Right. Now you are level zero. You haven’t fulfilled all the conditions
of joining. Once you clear the last condition,
you will be formally be level one. You will gain a Nen ability at level 21. Kill one civilian, gain one level. At level 100, you’ll be able to create
your own team like me. Kill some with Nen and gain 10 levels. Kill a prince and you will gain 50 levels. Whether you level up or not, it is up to
you. Whether you stay here or go back to your
friends is also up to you. You’re free, but we will betray you the
moment you’re of no use to us. Or our goal is to kill people after all. Okay, well, maybe I won’t join the crew
then. I thought this was just
going to be for a free kiss, but apparently that’s not
going to be the case anymore. There is an undetermined time limit if
they find another specialist candidate. I’ll know. Okay, so this is Bork now going,
there’s an undetermined time limit. If they find another specialist candidate,
I’ll no longer be valuable. If her ability isn’t sold in
me like an app, I assume it comes with spyware that shows
her everything I see and hear. I do need power to go
against them, but I have to kill someone to get an ability in
the shortest amount of time. She gets up. I’m going back to my people. Don’t forget we’re your people now. Damn. That line goes kind of hard though. I have a purpose now. I walk away. Cool. Such a cool panel though. Morena, will you show me around? Before I go, I want to know more about my
new comrades. All right. And then here we have a double page spread
of the freaking martial law occurring. Don’t move until you’ve been patted down. If you move so much as an inch,
you’ll be shot without warning. Special martial law, this is not a drill. Tier three central area is clear. Captain. Case S? Uh oh. Case S, do not. 3101. They found the disappearing room. Three soldiers only who entered. This door disappeared. The witnesses, soldiers, and they vanished
into thin air as they’ve entered. Textbook Case S. A supernatural incident. This may be why the corporal and others
went missing. We found a hidden room behind the bathroom
next door. Looks like someone cut through the
bathroom wall. The hidden room was connected to room 125. In room 125, the bathroom wall was the
trick door. Tiers three is Heil-Ly’s territory. Contact tier one. Your highness. They found what looks to be Heil-Ly’s
hideout. None is involved. The room was empty. We’re searching out for other locations. Oh, he is locked and loaded. Squad three will deal with Heil-Ly. Our priority is securing the princes. Third prince Zhang Lei and seventh prince
Luz are currently unaccounted for. Find them and leave the lower rank princes
for us. Uh oh. Uh oh. Uh oh. Zhang Lei went to tier two
right before the declaration via a cross bridge from inside
the Xi-Yu boss residence. Currently confirming the route and
following his trail. Follow up reports in 15 minutes. This is getting closer to a Chrollo thing. Right? Well, no, but why would Zhang Lei? Zhang Lei was just learning about Nen. How does Chrollo already
know that he would have Nen or the kind of spirit
beast he would have? But it is very suspicious that Chrollo is
in tier three and he has just learned there is now someone in there is a prince
in tier two. Interesting. Okay. Confirming the routes and following his
trail. Follow up reports in 15 minutes. Zhang Lei likely sought refuge at the
justice department as possible. He went further down to meet up with the
mafia. Tell the squad to recon team and the
scouts to focus on Zhang Lei. Yes, sir. 10 hours from onset to a coma death comes
two after two hours after that. I have about nine. Oh, no way. Is this how we come? Halkenberg is such a freaking genius. Oh, my God. How can we cut back? Bravo. Bravo, Togashi. I can’t believe we cut back. Man, I can’t believe we cut back to this. He took over. This is stunning. The. I mean, technically, Benjamin is not dead
yet, but this is still such a wild. It’s such a wild thing to happen. I was expecting some crazy fights,
killing, like the fact that we did. Oh, this is awesome. I would I would never have expected. This is how this is the reason why martial
law started. It’s all part of Halkenberg’s plan. OK, we got another double page spread. Oh, my God. And the environment is so beautiful. As long as I’m officially
anointed as successor, even if I die, I can hand the
throne over to my child. He’s got a child. Oh, my God. Is is that the child that is that the
child that was having in the background? Oh, my God. I can hand the throne over to my child. Emergency law. Article one sustaining the monarchy in a
crisis will apply. I must get declaration of succession and
documentation, then taking into account the time required for the
legal proceedings of having my illegitimate child named
as my official successor. I do not have a moment to lose. Four princes left. Oh, my God, I cannot believe how good this
is. Another double page spread. Oh, Benjamin and Botobai and Mizai and
Kaiser are here. Oh, boy. I am Benjamin, deputy chief counsel. Without further ado at the
central court, I will consolidate, consult all three branches of
government by military force. And we are we are taking over this
building as our joint force command center. You will be my three witnesses. Oh, man. I like that. This is so funny. Boltobai refuses to put his hands out,
but he’s doing this instead. He’s like, my arms are still crossed,
but I’ll have my hands up, though. Oh, that’s so funny. Mizai. First, can you provide your
basis for declaring martial law and the letter of
authoritation from the king? Terrorism with biological
weapon orchestrated by the fourth Prince Tserri
and ninth Prince Halkenberg. There was a collaboration
in my military, a sample under development
was brought on board. There were multiple conspirators. Several suspects were arrested and are now
being questioned. Some of the suspects were
accompanying the prince’s security teams when they were taken
to secure location to be safe. I’d like to compete the administrative
steps without delay. Dude, his plan is to
leverage the princes in tier one as hostages to
secure the three branches. We cannot release. Even the guardian spirit beast still
thinks. Oh, my God. It just. Oh, okay. So they’re attached to the body,
not the soul. Interesting. Okay. This is actually kind of important. This is actually kind of important. They’re connected to the body,
not the soul. Okay. We cannot release those
who are suspected of infection from isolation until complete
analysis of the sample. Without the integration of the three
powers, I cannot permit their transfer to a hospital while I’m unsure of your
situation. He is impulsive dictator who prefers
shortcuts true to his profile. Probably most of this is conveniently
twisted half-truths. The king’s letter of authorization. Oh, this is now continuing with Benjamin. This king’s letter of authorization is
being written as we speak. They will be contact. They will contact you once it’s been
signed and sealed. You can retrieve it then. Let’s get this done. Your highness, you look rather pale. Are you all right? He sees through them. There’s no problem at all. If Benjamin is pushing so hard because he
himself has been infected, considering Halkenberg’s progression, he has 24 hours
at most. If we can somehow stave this off for one
more day, we’ll be able to see the light. I still have my final stronghold. 40 minutes into special martial law to be
continued. We caught up, baby! Let’s go! There we go. And now we wait several months until
Togashi works on the beautiful next volume. Absolutely incredible. Thank you. We’re not ending the stream at all,
but thank you. Thank you, everyone, for coming by in the
chats. This has been so much fun. Such an exciting journey to kind of
experience with all of you. I cannot believe that this is kind of the
crazy reveal that we get. We are so focused on
what’s happening outside of Halkenberg’s plan to then
all of a sudden realize that. Bye bye, Benjamin. Now, that being said, does
he know that Benjamin and Camilla still have a big
death hate for each other? Like, I feel like that’s got to be still
put into play. Absolutely incredible peak manga. Trebb says, I actually never considered
the possibility that Halkenberg entered Benjamin’s body as possible, but he would
need to shoot his arrow into Bals’ body with the supporters and have himself
switch once again. That’s, you know, that’s what I love about
Halkenberg is that he’s, he’s right. It is a chess game for him. He has already 10 moves ahead. We’re trying to catch up and try to figure
out what the hell he’s up with. And the fact that he is doing this so
quickly and so fast is incredible. Claw says, just to clarify, I do think it
is still Benjamin. He just has been infected by the TSK-17. Really? You think it’s still Benjamin? Ah, this could have a double meaning. It could be a red herring. Botobai is
saying that you look unwell. Although that being said, two could be
true, right? Because in this world, Halkenberg has 10
hours to live. If he were to die,
Benjamin’s body would take over or his soul would
take over his body. Halkenberg needs to have a backup plan. So I think he infected himself with the,
with the poison, knowing that as soon as his soul disappears, Benjamin also is
still going to die. Oh, Halkenberg wouldn’t care about giving
the throne to his child. This is a good point. He’s not the type. because we know that Unma
has a crib in the background. It could be Tserri, Benjamin, or
Halkenberg. And obviously it definitely, like,
oh my God, it’s too, that is, oh, he, I love this. You know what? What’s great is that I have a bunch of
months to think about this, rereading this chapter over and over, over going back
through this entire volume. Like, okay, but this and this,
oh my God, I, dude, just being able to sit on this and think about these theories is
so much fun. And Halkenberg could be inside Benjamin’s
body and be asleep though. Good point. Because we do mention
Benjamin specifically describing that about just
remaining dormant inside. Oh, but he wouldn’t have enough time based
off this. And now to reveal to you the spoiler I
have known. How long ago did I know this spoiler? Let me actually look this up. So I told you that there was one more,
basically upon entering the succession arc, I mentioned that there was one more
spoiler I knew about this manga. Now, no one in the comments spoiled me on
anything. No one in the chat spoiled me on anything. This was a spoiler I saw when I was
looking for an image of a certain character and the Google autofill said
blank characters death. And I was like, no way. I, how did I get spoiled on this? This sucks so much. And the more I read it, the more I was
reading Hunter x Hunter, I was like, oh my God, threat after threat,
after threat, after threat. And I was like, how is this possible? This character has three possible ways of
dying. We’re talking about Kurapika. I was my volume zero release on March
25th, 2025. I was looking for images of Kurapika and
it said Kurapika death as the autofill. And I’m like, dude, how, why I get spoiled
on this? And then when you enter the Succession arc
and you see Tserri with all the crimson eyes, I’m like, oh, this is where it
happens. And then Chrollo shows up and I’m like,
oh, this is where it happens. And then he, and then Kurapika talks about
Emperor time. I’m like, oh, this is where it happens. All three of them. And then the more I was
reading, I was like, I don’t think that’s going to like
the more I was reading. I was like, no, this, this, there’s no way
this would occur at this point. So I’m happy to know
that luckily I would say I’m happy to know
that it doesn’t happen. But honestly, by the time we, by the time
there were three ways that Kurapika could die, I was like, yeah, it’s not happening
anytime soon. Like with Tserri, Chrollo and Emperor time,
like, I don’t know it like that there there’s there, he, he, there’s no way he’s
dying yet. But it is crazy that Togashi has set up
three different ways for Kurapika to die. It’s crazy. That is a wild thing, but I’m happy that
didn’t happen. But that was the final
spoiler I knew about Hunter x Hunter, which
wasn’t a spoiler at all. Dumb autocorrect. In fact, because of that spoiler,
I actually have disabled on all my browsers autocomplete because I hardly use
it. And when I do use it, it spoils me on
stuff. So I’m like, I’m good. No more autocomplete anymore. I want to safely search for a character’s
name and not have it is dead. Oh, man. Volume 39. This is, it’s very funny. Volume 39 is also probably
going to be the longest reaction video, the
longest reaction video. We have the introduction of Beyond’s
children’s and not just long he, but a mysterious Prince who
I think we can all agree very likely Tserri, but honestly,
I’m thinking like, it could be fun. It was Tyson. It would be really fun. It was Tyson. Um, also the fact that Tyson is able to
change everyone’s like personalities. We don’t even know, like we saw that
happening and we haven’t gone back to that. I’m like, what, hold on a second. So crazy stuff is happening over there. Halkenberg has 10 hours left to live. Uh, that’s going to be very fun to see how
that turns out. You know, right now what we see in the
last panel, the last page is that Benjamin is poisoned by what Balsamilco was having
the, the TISK 17. So at least some point,
Halkenberg had a confrontation with Benjamin, whether he’s
out of it or not, we don’t know. So very curious of all of that. In fact, Benjamin still wouldn’t,
would still think that Halkenberg is dead because he doesn’t really know about his
ability. It’s also a very interesting point I need
to bring up because I mentioned this, but after speaking with chat, it is weird. In this specific moment, Togashi does show
us Benjamin has his spirit beast. Now, if Halkenberg really took over Benjamin,
would that Nen Beast still be there? Is that Nen Beast tied to Benjamin’s body
or his soul? And so this actually might just be
confirmation that Benjamin is awake in his own body and Halkenberg is asleep because
I don’t believe Halkenberg is dead. Well, he is, but I don’t, I still believe
his soul is within Benjamin’s body. So that’s one thing. Also, Melody, Kacho, and Kaiser have a
plan and judging by chapter 410, Luz is currently not here. We don’t know where he is, which means the
plan is in, is a go. He has been shoved into the warp pipe and
is now by the lifeboats. That’s because if they don’t find him in
his room and he’s always chilling in his room, the thing is, what does Basho think
about this? How does Basho deal with this? I’m still confused about why Melody is
just going with this. It’s like, yes, this is what we should do
instead of like speaking with Basho and like, because Basho has a
better understanding of the seventh prince than Melody
and Kacho and Kaiser have. And we already know that guardian spirit
beasts don’t attack other princes. So Melody, Kacho, and Kaiser are working
off a really bad plan. Kaiser in love with
Melody, but also has no idea what like he is being
manipulated to some point. I was thinking he was a Nen extender,
like a Wi-Fi extender where like whatever is manipulating him is also semi
manipulating Kacho and Melody. Speaking of which, Chrollo
is using a love dial to contact someone, possibly on tier two
or tier one, and get their abilities. That being said, the word love kind of
thinks of it as… Morena. It is possible he could
know someone named Morena because she
wasn’t from Kakin originally. And so it’s very possible
for him to have met her at some point in
the history of the world. And the fact that Kakin
has visited for their flesh carnivals, have
visited multiple villages. I would say they most likely have visited
the Karata clan. They have most likely have visited Meteor
City. It’s not, it wouldn’t be crazy if someone
he knows, it could be Morena. That would be very likely actually for him
to know who Morena is and to want an ability that grants other people
abilities. I don’t know. Phantom Troupe? More like Phantom Company. But still leave Paku’s spot open. Also, we’re now having
a revenge plot where Zakuro and Hinrigh are
looking out for Bono. Now, they don’t know exactly it’s Bono,
but they know that whoever was being the fake Hisoka, we need to get revenge for
Lynch. And also Bork is now being recruited by
Morena. Now, I thought she did
it as a way to change Morena, but no, it’s
because she cheated. And now all she can say is yes or no. And she chose yes. So we’ll see how that all turns out too. Claw brings up also a great point. Luz could have went with his mafia like
Zhang Lei. That is also very possible as well. Especially since, you know, I keep
forgetting. I believe what was mentioned is that it’s
tomorrow night, which is day 12 at night, and it is currently not day 12 at night. From my understanding. But I will probably find out exactly…
actually, let’s just write that down. Let’s just write that down. Let’s write that down. When exactly is the melody planned? Okay. But Hey, for you, the YouTube chat
YouTube, thank you so much for joining me on this journey going across all of
Hunter x Hunter. So next week you’ll see my reaction to the
Succession arc, which we’ll talk about my. 39, you know, like volume 39, uh,
you know, notes. The week after we’ll talk
about my overall thoughts on Hunter x Hunter with some
arc lists, favorite characters. Then after that, you’ll
see my reactions to every single opening and
ending for Hunter x Hunter. And then, uh, I don’t know how I’m going
to release this, but at some point you will start seeing videos of me reacting to
the palace invasion arc in Hunter x Hunter. I guess I keep calling it an arc,
but it’s not an arc. It’s just a moment in time, but it’s one
of the best moments in the Chimera Ant Arc that I really want to see how
it’s animated. So you will also be able to enjoy that. I don’t know how it’s going to show up on
YouTube. It might just be a highlight
reel, and then you can see all the episodes and full reactions
over on Patreon for free. I’m not quite sure how it’s
going to happen, but thank you so much for joining me on
this entire six month journey. I do not, it has been a tremendous amount
of fun and a tremendous experience to be able to, to read aloud Hunter x Hunter to
all of you and to see all comments and all the nice things you all said and have the
chats and everything. It’s been a tremendously wonderful
experience. I greatly, greatly appreciate it. And after all this, you’ll probably be
seeing me react to more things. I plan to react to some smaller manga
before jumping into the big manga stuff. But hey, please, if you’re watching this
video right now or in the chat, recommend me some titles. I think what might be a
lot of fun is just me reacting to volume ones of a lot
of different manga, please. Nothing as wordy as Hunter x Hunter. I’m trying to get into a series,
you know, Hunter x Hunter got the privilege of getting me excited about the story and
interest so that when we got to these massively wordy volumes, I can enjoy it
because I’m into it, right? But if a volume starts off being very
wordy, it’s going, it might push me away. So something a little bit easy to get into
that way. If I like the first volume,
we might read the entirety on stream
because that’ll be a lot of fun. So definitely I’m always open for
recommendations. There’s some in my mind, like I’m probably
going to catch up on Kagura Bachi. I heard that’s really good. I reacted to the first like five chapters
when it first came out. And now people are saying it’s amazing. I’m like, Hey, you know what? I’m down for some good old classic killing
revenge, killing story. I’m all down for it either way. Thank you all so much. And until next time, I will see you later. Goodbye now.

++ My 6 month journey is finally over!! What an incredible manga!! ++
