Tserriednich's power is totally going to be the ability to peel people. I mean, look at that glass of water. If that ain't a "peel people" water divination then I don't know what is.

Wonder if Tse's gonna be the first (or maybe second depending on how you see Pariston) example of a completely irredeemable POS in HxH that isn't a minor character. Every other notable antagonist has at least something going for them, whether it's some weird moral code (Hisoka), a tragic past (Gyro) or care for someone (Illumi, the Spiders, Genthru, Meruem), but this guy seems like a straight up psycho.

Theta: Well if I know his nen type I can prepare for the future
*specialist*
Theta: FUCK

So she's definitely planning to kill him when she teaches him Zetsu right

Not surprised he's this advanced. Fuugetsu's learning to control her beast with absolutely no guidance too. The Kakin family ritual has made that family natural masters at nen, and I'm sure they will all have crazy abilities if they get the chance to develop them.

Belerainte is my favorite guard!

Nah, I don't think so. At least, he's not going to be so blatant with it I don't think. I definitely think there is going to be a lot of torture though.

His Nen Beast is probably going to help with it as well, seeing as how it seems to be able to sense any intent to spy on him without his knowing.

It's going to torture, but it's also going to be disguised as something else to keep up appearances. If it's not going to torture, then it's going to be something on a wider scale perhaps.

I didn't expect the asshole guard from 1004 to bite it this early. Figured he'd be around a while longer to start more shit.

Glad the twins are pretty bright and careful too. I half expected Fuu's second attempt of door teleportation to randomly take her straight to one of the higher murder princes or something.

I vaguely remember an explanation about Specialist types being so because of trauma or because of their royal lineage among others. With the royal Kakin family having a history of doing this nen ritual and the current king being a product of this too it wouldn't surprise me if all the princes themselves ended up as specialist types if they'd ever learn nen.
Tser's water divination tho, geez. Don't drink that.

Also how the hell did this guy got a water divination more evil looking than Pitou? In comparison Pitou leaf just withered, very tame.

Nah, i don't think that was ever said, but maybe im wrong. Maybe you thinking about Hisoka personality but it doesn't say that.

I feel like his Nen ability is going to be one of Togashi's subversion moments in some shape or form.

Either way, this dude got to go. Theta, do what must be done.

Going into this part of the chapter I thought he might get some kind of power that can only heal people and save their lives, as a sort of cosmic joke, but now I'm 100% on the "peeling people" train.

Ah, I was probably thinking of Kurapika's teach stating "the trait is usually inherited, growing up under special circumstances can have an effect on it as well", and Kakin royals thus "inheriting" crazy nen types from their bloodline.

"Growing up under special circumstances" tho. Gyro is gonna outspecialize all specialists

I think his power will certainly be horrific in some way. I'm just not sure it will entirely be demonic and catastrophic all around.

Peeling people sounds about right given what we're seeing though.

HE GOT TO GO!

Gyro's glass of water is gonna turn into nuclear waste or something.

Yeah "inheriting" types of nen is definitely a thing in some bloodlines, the Zoldycks have atleast 3 generation of white hair guys with transmutation.
So maybe some of the Kakin princes get specialization from the King.

The plot really is moving glacially. I am enjoying it, but Togashi really struggles these days to move the narrative forward with any kind of pace...At this rate, I don't really expect to ever get back to the Dark Continent...which to me seems a fair bit more interesting set up than this...Particularly with Ging and Pariston.

Tserrid is also a pretty cliche sadomasochistic psycho. I find Togashi's treatment of his character progression a bit predictable and unwarranted. Also I find the idea of nen users being powerful with such rudimentary training baffling...Skill should always be relevant.

I just want Killua to learn Dragon Dive already.

Nah, we will never learned it. Hatsus are very unique to the user, i don't think outside of Ging anyone was ever shown copying a hatsu.

Tserrid is also a pretty cliche sadomasochistic psycho. I find Togashi's treatment of his character progression a bit predictable and unwarranted. Also I find the idea of nen users being powerful with such rudimentary training baffling...Skill should always be relevant.

To be fair most of the princes are not nen users, it's the beasts that are doing all the work. Skill is still relevant, thats how the guards are dealing with their weird abilities.

I think there is more than meets the eye regarding him and his ability. I can feel it.

A dragon made out of the sun would work too.

Well Phinks did say that his hatsu have diferent forms, then if we think about it he has to have some tecknique that moves otherwise his opponent could just run way from the sun/heat.
So now imagine a moving fire-dragon just chasing after you run way, man that would be sweet.

That would be a pretty cool panel. Would fucking suck for the boat if he used that on there.

Can I haz lightning snake then? Yo Togashi put like no effort into drawing that insect chick, damn.

It's fine. When Gon and Killua eventually return, Killua's electricity powers will have developed so much. Although he's spending time with his sister, he isn't going to slack on his training when they're literally on the run from Illumi.

He'll probably be like this

Don't forget about Halkenburg, im kinda liking him.
Also his power is crazy, in the right circumstances it could be the strongest thing in the verse.
Halkenburg seems like he'll definitely be interesting. His power is all over the place especially since they tamper with memories. You pretty much have to kill him by planting a car bomb.
