Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this article!
The author is Japanese and not very proficient in English… 💦
However, I did my best to translate it into English!
There may be parts that are difficult to read or understand, but I would be grateful if you could read until the end!
The conflict between the Phantom Troupe and the Ei-I Family
In Chapter 405, Nobunaga and the other Phantom Troupe members speculated that the Ei-I Family’s goal is “to destroy everything and gain Nen abilities.”
They are preparing to confront the Ei-I Family by joining forces with the Shu-U Family and the Sha-A Family!
Analysis
- The betrayal of the Sha-A Family executive, Ou Ken’i, is likely to occur to some extent.
- Since the Nen abilities of the executives, including Dogman, have not been revealed yet, this is also worth paying attention to.
The Phantom Troupe’s primary goal is to eliminate Hisoka, which could create a reason for their conflict with the Ei-I Family!
The True Identity of the Joker
Ou Ken’i, the young head of the Sha-A Family, is planning to deploy the “Joker” in the battle between the Phantom Troupe and the Ei-I Family.
The true identity of this “Joker” has not been revealed, leading to various speculations among readers.
Since the true identity of the Joker has not been revealed yet, we can only rely on speculation.
Analysis
- Hisoka
He is the most likely candidate.
Hisoka harbors a deep grudge against the Phantom Troupe, and the term “Joker” perfectly aligns with his image as a magician.
Moreover, Hisoka is known for causing chaos, so it would be very characteristic of him to intervene in the conflict between the Ei-I Family and the Phantom Troupe. - A New Character Related to Chrollo
Considering Chrollo’s desire to acquire new Nen abilities, “Joker” could also be a new character involved in Chrollo’s plans.
Chrollo might be using this person to prepare for his rematch with Hisoka. - Kurapika
This theory is a bit of a stretch, but there is a possibility that Kurapika could appear as the “Joker” for some reason.
Although his main goal is revenge against the Phantom Troupe, if his motives become intertwined with the Princes’ Succession War, he might adopt the codename “Joker.”
I think the “Joker” who is sabotaging the Phantom Troupe is, at the very least, a character who harbors resentment or envy toward the Troupe!
The Possibility of a Rematch Between Chrollo and Hisoka
The leader of the Phantom Troupe, Chrollo, is searching for new Nen abilities in preparation for a rematch with Hisoka.
The abilities he acquires next could greatly influence the outcome of their battle.
Hisoka, on the other hand, is likely devising strategies to counter Chrollo.
ちょきTheir rematch is expected to be more intense than ever before.
Halkenburg’s Funeral and the Actions of the Ei-I Family
As Halkenburg’s funeral takes place, the Ei-I Family is preparing for acts of destruction.
At this funeral, the intentions of the princes, the mafia, Hisoka, the Phantom Troupe, and the Hunters intersect, potentially pushing the story into a new phase.
Analysis
- Halkenburg’s supporters may attempt revenge or retribution against the other princes in response to his death.
- The Ei-I Family aims to take advantage of this chaos to carry out acts of destruction, seeking to expand their Nen abilities and gain more power.
Signs of the Phantom Troupe’s Demise
Bonolenov, a member of the Phantom Troupe, has made the statement, “Let’s bring this to an end,” suggesting that the disbandment of the Troupe or a major turning point in the story is approaching.
Analysis
- Bonolenov’s statement, “Let’s bring this to an end,“ may not only suggest the conclusion of the Troupe’s mission but also indicate that trust and shared purpose among the members are beginning to waver.
- The rematch between Chrollo and Hisoka is something both of them desire, making it almost certain to happen.
- The Phantom Troupe has been portrayed as “villains” or “symbols of chaos” in the story of HUNTER x HUNTER, but with the depiction of the past, Sarasa’s presence, and the true nature of the leader, there have been more scenes highlighting their humanity.
