I wonder how quickly Meruem would get annoyed with those damn requests.

It's cool. But, I think the manga has the greater edge when it comes to the quality and delivery
As for the anime itself
Downside? It's by the modern-day Pierrot..
The Tsandwich poacher-guy just randomly turns into some weird sea monster thingy which does not happen in the manga
Also an emphasis on the 'color rangers' by comparison which might come across a bit annoying
Upside? It's also by DavidPro !!

I think I would prefer reading this than watching it (I assume Togashi is responsible for the art here as well?). Thanks for this post tho, definitely reaffirmed to me that the manga seems to be more interesting and.. uh.. pure I guess
The Level E show is hilarious, though a bit of a slow burn until it shows it's true colors. People's reaction on that third episode is always beyond classic. The manga is definitely good too though.
WAIT MOTHERFUCKING WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!
Does this mean we might be getting Hisoka vs Illumi?
Hisoka really is Goku, paid Illumi to kill him just like how Goku ordered an assassination on himself so he could fight Hit.
Oh shit!
Could just be that he can only hold an ability for a limited time given the changes to his power, but yea she's likely dead.
He is in this for himself. He must have heard from his other brother that the spiders were going to the dark continent. He must want to get a power like Nanika's there.
illumi and kalluto being taken out here would bring killua back into the story. no way will silva allow killua to be adventuring when they just lost a huge part of their power in illumi. silva and his mom would want killua to come back to help with assassinations.
I don't feel sure about Kalluto surviving, but there's literally no way Illumi is being taken out here.
well he and hisoka can survive and postpone their fight to the death later on i guess. would be neat to have another zoldyck take a trip to the dark continent with netero's son. there is also the chance that illumi has also been hired by somebody else and this is all part of it and we won't now until the end. killua refusing to come back after illumi dying would be very interesting though. wonder how they would force him to return. we've also never seen what happens when an important zoldyck dies and what kind of politics take place.
he doesn't but him being gone would make him the most important to the zoldycks. right now they don't need killua as illumi is very powerful and can get keep up with his dad. take him out and they can no longer afford to let killua risk getting murdered by him adventuring.
What I mean is that Illumi is the catalyst of a much, much more important overarching subplot which is yet to be resolved. This Troupe stuff while cool as fuck is still essentially supporting characters trying to kill a main(ish) character because that character is on a salty bloodpath. Illumi has relevance in the series far beyond such trivial matters with Hisoka.
Add in tid-bits like Nanika being from The Dark Continent, Gotoh's death being unknown to Killua, Zeno and Silva not seeming that bothered that Killua removed the needle that whole crazy mountain still convinced that Killua will eventually return as an assassin - obviously there's going to be arc in the longrun, there's just so much to cover still and there's no way Illumi's not going to be around for it.

Killua was the most important regardless since people see him as the heir to the Zoldyck family business or whatever. I don't think Zeno or Silva would want Illumi to be the next in line. I don't think there's a lot running around that could randomly kill Killua but I do see your point with this. Silva would probably want him back in home, but Nanika's safety would definitely factor into the whole thing.
you mean him trying to get nanika under his control? that isn't going to get killua back into the story in a big way. that would only be a retread of the past arc. him dying would create a power vacuum with the zoldycks that killua would almost be forced to fill and that to me is more interesting. we still don't know if the zoldycks even have cousins and we don't know if silva has any siblings or had and what happened to them.
It's not a retread.
Illumi's whole thing in the last arc wasn't about controlling Nanika/Alluka, but stopping the wish from happening. He feared what the wish's consequences would do to the Zoldyck Family in a very twisted way. He was even willing to eliminate Alluka. His goal only started shifting to a maddening control at the very end of the arc when he realised Killua can wish without consequence. It wouldn't be much of retread at all as this dynamic was barely explored but merely set up for the future.
Also, of course it'd bring back Killua into the story in a big way. How would it not? Killua's the Deuteragonist of the story and his conflict with his family has been the backbone of his entire overarching arc. A conflict that hasn't slowed down but escalated every time it's given focus. Nanika likely being one of The Five Calamities adds a whole other layer of complexity that can be taken in so many directions.

I'm always searching "hunter x hunter, today" on YT and goddamn these thumbnails for vids based on the latest chapters damn damn damn
Neon... :(
I always wondered what happened to her and her father after that situation. Either the mafia got to them soon after or Hisoka pulled something recently. Either way I guess it's a Knov type situation where she had to be taken out of the story for Chrollo not be OP or not use that ability for some dumb reason.
The last page was kind of cute with the spider banter, lol. Death note? So basically all real world manga exist in HXH too. I guess that one black whale announcer at the departure was an actual Lum cosplayer then?
