Question SPOILER: Kurapika's reappearance question

[kindredxiuxiu]

To answer your question, futurefrog, I'm going to go with yes.

There's a page somewhere that shows Hisoka and Abengane meeting up with Kuroro during or after the ants. It seemed as if it was somewhat off-screen. Along with Cinnabar's description of Kurapika's recent behavior.

Found it: http://www.mangahere.com/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v20/c201/

Unless there were some complications with the nen-removal, I'm going to say there is a possibility that the nen has been removed. This page is really left open to interpretation.

Read chapter 339 again and I still think his appearance was just fan service because a lot of characters were shown past and present in that chapter. Kurapika ignored Leorio but from the images it seemed like he was grieving (in a church, wearing black, red eyeballs and roses), would you answer your phone at a funeral?

Hisoka who was helping Chrollo find a nen remover didn't mention anything about him nor was he looking for him. The Spiders last appearance as a group showed them trying to pick a new temporary leader while beating up on ants so there's that as well. Eventually if this story finishes he'll have his nen removed but this story started in 1998 and its continually on Hiatus, guessing isn't as much fun when it takes years to get a hint.

But even before, when Gon was hospitalized, Leorio was trying to contact Kurapika and couldn't get a hold of him. Unless he was having another funeral, it seems odd that he wouldn't even pick up the phone or see Gon in the hospital.

 

[Tenacious Weezy]

Yeah I agree. It could be assumed that Kurapika is very busy with his own issues and I'm sure we'll find out what exactly. I just don't think you can relate his absence from Gon (where was his Aunt? Obviously his Faja never saw him, etc) to Chrollo removing the judgement chain from his heart.

Didn't Illumi mention something about Hisoka "playing tag" with Chrollo? Sort of implies judgment chain's been removed. That, or Chrollo refused to have his Nen unlocked for whatever reason.

right here

Pretty vague though doesn't really do anything but let you know they were together which we already knew.

Most likely.

Although makes me wonder if Hisoka and Kuroro already fought and if not...why?

Since Ilumi referred to 'tag' that means Kuroro obviously wasn't interested in fighting Hisoka at all. And why would he be? Hisoka's ability isn't particularly useful for him. Hisoka's ability still relies on the fact that he generally has superior physical stats than his opponent. Kuroro, being Specialization, is unlikely to rely on physical strength based techniques. None of his displayed abilities are dependent on superior physical strength. Although Kuroro is good at fighting and does not fear death, he clearly has no intention of getting into unnecessary fights to the death.

Hisoka would be dead if they fought. Chrollo is in the same league as Netero and Killua's Faja. He also has no reason to run away or hide from Hisoka either so the tag metaphor probably just means he's playing silly games trying to help Chrollo when he could have fought the chairman or ants. I hate assumptions but logic lead me to that conclusion based on the spiders still being leaderless last time we saw them.

 

[Demonspeed]

I think Chrollo can use Nen now,when his nen was sealed Hisoka said he is a broken toy but he is in the box now.

Who knows ? We have yet to see Hisoka even struggle in a fight, let alone show his full power. Whether he can defeat Chrollo or not is unknown. But a fight between those two sounds nasty

 

[Uriel]

LOL, I'm amazed that people still believes that Kuroro will win. Honestly. His ability makes too vulnerable for someone as tricky as Hisoka.

Errr... No. At the same time that we have a tricky Hisoka, nobody knows about all stolen abilities of Kuroro. So, no. This fight is unpredictable.

 

[Phantron]

This fight is heavily in favor of Hisoka in theory but because Hisoka fights closer to a Hunter than an Assassin, he ends up being heavily disadvantaged. That is, there's no way Hisoka would attempt to kill his opponent before they get a chance to use any moves because he fights for the enjoyment of the fight itself, and yet that'd be the best strategy against someone with as diverse abilities as Kuroro. While Hisoka believes his tactics/ingenuity is enough to overcome any circumstances, this is simply not true. There's got to be some ability Kuroro has that cannot be handled by mere bubblegum power.

Zeno gives a good example of how you're supposed to fight someone with diverse abilities but weak physical abilities (spam ranged attacks). Hisoka can easily do this too (throw cards) but that is just not his style.

Geese I didn't mean to start another Hisoka vs Chrollo thread lol. So after some more examination on the nen remover helping Chrollo and inciting Kurapika's reappearance. The monster that stays with you upon removal, wouldn't that thing be on chrollos heart? Is that possible? I mean it was pretty big also the nen power required would have to be pretty extreme (comparing the bombers ability to Kurapika's) to work.

We know that for now if Abengane did use his exorcism on it, Chrollo can go against the rules placed by Kurapika nen and contact the others and use his nen.
I think that Abengane will be made into a new Troupe member as well. But the Nen beast on Chrollo must be huge, this means that Chrollo will need to kill Kurapika for it to be removed for good.

 

[GingFuriksu]

Maybe the reason they haven't fought yet is because when Chrollo got his chain removed, the Spiders ambushed Hisoka and forced him to retreat ? I know Chrollo wouldn't order something like that but the Spiders would do something like that regardless.

 

[Kaiten]

In chapter 339, it looked like Kurapika was attending a funeral. At York Shin he successfully took revenge on the Spiders. Having successfully recovered their eyes, the souls of his dead clansmen can now find peace. That is why he is in a church, wearing a black suit, head bowed, facing an alter, the eyes of his clan resting on top, surrounded by flowers. He is attending a funeral, paying his last respects to his clan. He is alone because he is the last member of his clan. He is ignoring calls because he is in a church, attending a funeral. Accepting a call would be socially unacceptable.

 

[Phantron]

I'm under the impression that the beast is supposed to follow Abegane, not the person he removed the aura from. It's difficult to tell since the only time he did it, he removed aura on himself. The aura beast that is needed to remove Judgment Chain must be pretty big, so I don't see Kuroro playing 'tag' if he had the aura removed and had to drag say an angry red eyed monster behind him. Either Kuroro didn't have the aura removed, or the beast is following Abegane. I'm guessing the fact the beast follows Abegane is by design, as in this gives Abegane assurance that he will not get brutally murdered after he's outlived his usefulness, since in this case if he does dies presumably the beast will go back to Kuroro.

 

[zzigg]

i think the beast will attach to the person who has the curse

and even for the story it would be shitty if abengan have to carry that monster again he will be killed by the troop anyway
so he will remove the curse so the danger of the judgement chain will be erased ..then the danchou can communicate with the other members to chase kora's ass
