ooo ive been waiting patiently thank you for the quad drop!! <3

Leah

I love the requiem scene so much… You might remember but Chainsaw man referenced it too!

Justin Shimoda

What zeno meant when he was talking to chrollo was, "If we fought one on one, I would win, but if you were actually trying to kill me instead of just steal my abilities then that would be a different story." He then called him a punk for asking such an impudent question. Zeno and chrollo both know that in a fight to the death Chrollo would win.

Daamon

slight correction: The ability Chrollo used was Owl's, not a troupe member's. He was one of the Shadow Beasts being tortured by that sadistic guy from the troupe. He used his Fun Fun Cloth to shrink the merchandise from the first auction if u guys remember.

souma shou

not really. what zeno meant was that if chrollo actually tried to kill zeno it would be a different story as in either of them could win, not necessarily indicating that zeno would lose

Darren

I forgot it's these episodes :)) thanks so much guys for the reaction!

Justin Shimoda

That's fair. The important part though was that Zeno acknowledged that he knew Chrollo wasn't actually trying to kill him but just to clear conditions to take his abilities. In other words, Chrollo wasn't taking that fight that seriously, and Zeno sussed that out.

Ray

@Carlie, the reason Chrollo shed a tear was because, before having this fortune told, none of the Phantom Troupe could confirm whether or not Uvo was actually dead. This fortune confirmed his death.

heileen

Zeno saying that “unless you ACTUALLY tried to kill me” meant that Chrollo wasn’t fighting to kill in that fight. Chrollo wanted to steal their abilities, but there are specific conditions required first to do so. (not the same as kurapikas “condition”) For example, having his questions about the ability answered by the user, as he did with the Nostrade girl. However, if Chrollo fought for real, he would win 1v1 against Zeno and Zeno was aware of that.

souma shou

not exactly win but the fight would be uncertain and zeno won't necessarily win

souma shou

you guys misunderstood chrolo and zeno's conversation. chrollo wasn't trying to kill any of the two zoldycks in the fight, he was trying to steal their abilities. so in zeno's words in a one on one if chrollo actually fought to kill than it would be very difficult to determine the winner as in anyone of them could win

Nilexinator

can someone pls remind me, what the properties of bungie gum are?

Shaw

Kurapika isn't trying to be a hero. He doesn't mind dying for his revenge.

Relaric

If you forgot what En is, go back to ep. 50 where Gon/Killua escape from Nobunaga. Nobu explains what En is, as he uses it to try and find Gon/Killua.

Dramor Night

Thank you again! Love the reactions! 51 is one of my favorite episodes! This might be an unpopular opinion... but I feel like I would prefer a format like the Haikyuu reactions (Even if it would mean only 3 episodes a week... dont kill me other patreons for this suggestion haha) What I mean by this, is having a post discussion for each episode and not combining 2 episodes at once. I feel digesting one episode per discussion helps for a better understanding of the story and details. (Not saying that you guys are not doing a good job! ) I just feel as we go near to more "complex" arcs of HxH, this format would be preferable IMO. But I could be wrong... But thank you again for the reaction guys <3

Eric

Carlie, your makeup is *immaculate*. We need the GRWM

Master Nayan

The fortune didn't actually change, Hisoka used texture surprise I think, because Chrollo would have to write a new fortune for an updated version

Astor Lefflinker

I agree with what Ange said about HxH and old anime. Certainly they weren't afraid of long build ups because the pay off would be great.

Aizensalami

This Arc is PEAK! Love the hype in the discussions XD IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS (NO SPOILERS): 1- The blanket Chrollo used was not a power of a troupe member, it was for the Owl (a shadow beast), they caught him and tortured him so he probably stole his ability at that time. We were not shown that he stole any ability of any troupe member. 2- Zeno said that Chrollo has to meet 4 or 5 conditions in order to "STEAL A NEW ABILITY". But he didn't say that he needs 4 or 5 conditions in order to "USE AN ALREADY STOLEN ABILITY". In fact, the condition to use an already stolen ability was shown (to keep the book open in his hand). The conditions to steal a new ability were not shown to us, but he clearly stole Neon's Ability so he must've cleared those conditions wit her. 3- If the content of an already written fortune paper changes automatically with someone's actions, then what's written on Chrollo's fortune paper (written by Neon) should've changed when he decided to run from the city with the members. But the paper remained the same, because it was written before he took this decision. This means that you can't change what's on your paper just by your own will. Hisoka can do it with his texture surprise though XD.

avalon

It’s so good to see that you guys are really getting invested and enjoying the show, absolutely loving these reactions, keep it up (:

Aiyuu

Uhm hate yo break it to you but the fortune didn’t change by itself. And just as Carlie noticed earlier, Hisoka used bungee gum to change it himself. And he did this for a purpose which I think he will explain next episode.

Shaw

Bungee Gum has the properties of both rubber and gum.

Ttsukasa

It is literally never stated that Chrollo would win, it means that in a fight to the death, all holds are barred, aka Chrollo going all out and the way nen works leads for a chance of victory toward anyone because they both don't know the full extent of their abilities. Zeno is an amazing strategist, and he can usually size up an opponents options so he isn't optimistic foolishly and understands that underestimating an opponent can lead to death, thus his answer is grounded.

Ttsukasa

I wish people would stop assuming he would win. Zeno never said that. Zeno is slightly stronger than Silver who fought and came out on top vs Chrollo one on one in the past. Zeno was just saying "I know what you were trying to do brat" and when you understand that one of the conditions to use the opponents ability also prevents you from winning the fight, As Zeno sussed out, you can understand why Zeno said what he said.

Ttsukasa

Also doesn't mind getting his friends killed in a stupid fit of rage -_-

Ttsukasa

I always laugh when Ange has it right, but Carlie is so passionate about the wrong answer that she makes him change his mind lol

Ttsukasa

The difference with HXH, at least for this arc is, the buildup wasn't boring and was actually fire the entire time. Its not like it was "yawn yawn yawn BOOM". Many Anime and some would say the next arc miss the mark by doing what I just mentioned (lmao for those who know, BOOM).

Ttsukasa

Could someone explain Bungie Gum to me please?

JayPierlis

glad yall are starting to see hxh greatness. togashi is a genius and hxh will never leave my top 3

Justin Shimoda

While it is definitely debatable who would win between Zeno and Chrollo, I think it's a fair argument that Chrollo would win. He went into a 1 v 2 situation against 2 masters trying to steal abilities instead of kill, and he got pinned down and took an attempted lethal attack from Silva without any serious damage. Without the handicap of trying to steal instead of kill, and without the extra opponent limiting his options for attack, I think it stands to reason that he would do Zeno in. Not to mention Zeno uses primarily transmutation and emitter nen while Chrollo is a specialist who can use all of them. Chrollo also has far more abilities at his disposal even with the condition of having to hold the book in his hand. I don't really see a path to victory for Zeno.

Eric

Just so you know, that was Illumi and his and Killua's younger BROTHER, not a sister. Edit: Also, this episode is a great example as to why you should be watching the dub. You're missing a lot trying to read and talk at the same time, and not knowing the native language you are missing context and nuance that only comes from the spoken word. Yea, the sub is better, but it's a good dub and certainly better for reacting to.

Decaf

What is up with these clarifications of how fortune telling works and stuff? Let them just speculate. Let's not be that guy who watched HxH early is the only achievement in life.

The Great Santini

They've been doing mostly fine with subs for every reaction thus far so there's no need to suggest they change it to dub. It's probably hard for them to pick spots to talk with anime.

Astor Lefflinker

Nah, the sub is goated and we want them to experience the goat jp voice acting. I think they're doing just fine. Yeah they miss/forget some things, but I also missed/forgot things when I first watched HxH even though I was fully focused on the screen and wasn't talking to anyone.

Astor Lefflinker

The anime would tell them that next episode though, so there was no need to correct them. It's better for a reaction for them to find out if they are correct or wrong through watching the show and not through the comments lol we really only need to clarify things to them or correct them if the show itself won't do that later on.

Jason Serrano

Chrollo was fighting to buy time and to steal techniques instead of going for a straight kill. That's what Zeno meant when he said "Unless (Chrollo) decided to actually kill (Zeno."

Sammie

aaah so happy you're starting to like the show more and see its peak writing! I've been (re)watching it for 20 years now and I never get bored of it ( both versions) it's one of my all time favorite shows! Can't wait for more HxH content!! Ps: can we please refrain from spoiling them? they'll figure things out in later episodes anyways :p

Jay

Nah the Zoldyk's were fighting carefully so they would be in the least amount of danger and took no risks in that fight, that why it looked like they were struggling to pin him down. I wouldn't be so certain of the outcome.

Toasted Toad

I believe I could be wrong, but I think it has the properties of rubber and gum. Or maybe that should be gum and rubber?

Toasted Toad

HxH is one of the worst dubs out there!!! Newer animes have some better dubs, but not this one.

Aiyuu

True. I only mentioned it cos Carlie already caught on that detail, but then changed her mind even though she was right at first. And i thought it was already shown quite obvious in that scene, but probably not.

Eric

They're not experiencing like 30% of it either from talking over or just missing entirely. If they want to experience it then all the more reason to watch the dub first, then the sub off camera.

Cayseron

its not thirsting, its observation. i didnt notice makeup but i too couldnt help but notice carlie's hair looks different and i am asexual. being observant has nothing to do with thirsting :D

remvrk

Chrollo is too good he's super smart

The Great Santini

Just getting through these reactions now. Glad to see Carlie correctly understood what Zeno meant when he talked to Chrollo about who is stronger.
