Kurapika will awaken "Golden Emperor Time Requiem" against him.

No wonder people have been telling me not to read today's chapter. It's King Crimson in the middle of Part 5. XD

Aside from the Requiem angle, I'm wondering if Tse will "evolve" his ability into something like D4C from Steel Ball Run (another awesomely OP villain power). Only then, will Tse truly be the first to take the napkin!

He did mention parallel worlds, so I guess it's not outside the realm of possibility. If his explanation is correct, his power is in fact some sort of fusion between King Crimson and D4C.

^Late response, but yeah, the mention of parallel worlds was the chief reason why I brought up D4C. Plus, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to give a shout-out to my boy, Valentine!

Anyway, next chapter's out. And oboy, we're back to walls of text! But the gist is that Kurapika's training continues, he makes his intentions more clear (to lower the number of casualties in the succession war), and the other princes + their guards are busy with planning and scheming as usual.... you know, the typical stuff. Anyway, I'm kinda hoping next chapter goes back to the Ryodan/mafia side....

Mmm... all that Nen infodump. I love it. Kurapika is just handing out Nen powers like candy.

Kurapika and Bill also have good chemistry. I really do hope the latter doesn't die.

Even Gintama never had such walls of text

I don't read LN because I hate wall of text so I went to read manga only to find another wall of text.

Togashi: my condition doesn't allow me to draw much... ...so I will WRITE it.
Editor: GENIUS!

I think not even Yugioh had so many walls of texts as the duelists were always thinking what to do in every turn. Hope the plot progresses more if there is a another hiatus in the next weeks.

I like Bill's power. It's not really offensive by itself, but in a supporting role he can boost other's Aura . Not to mention the potential benefits when it comes to food growth on the Dark Continent.

New chapter is out. Camilla was far more hardcore than I thought.

Spoiler for Stuff:

Another fairly text-heavy chapter, but damn at Camilla's guard.... she's got a literal suicide squad at her beck and call. Geez, that practically makes her the most dangerous prince in this war after Tse and Halkenberg. And with Camilla's head guard on the move, little Woble's in trouble....

So Camilla had an entire squad that has no purpose but to curse people to death. She must be a huge fan of the strategy: "If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me".

He has to make contact with the target for the curse, if I remember right. Kurapika made it perfectly clear that if anyone crosses the line they'll be shot, and more so since he'd know Nen already.

And even if that was the case, Woble's Nen Beast hasn't manifested and his mother knows Nen too.

At the most, this chump is going to reveal the trump cards they have.

It took me 20 minutes to read the whole entire chapter......

Sasuga Togashi!

Also "Holy Crap!" at the whole "untouchables" thing.

Welp, the last chapter's out. And it's an action-packed one, too! Basically, while the succession war is going on above deck, the mob wars have just begun below! Man, those Xi-Yu guys have interesting abilities, too.... I especially like that one lady's "interrogation" ability, heh. Well, I'll be looking forward to the next batch of chapters, whenever they arrive!

First King Crimson, and now Gold Experience! You can't tell me that's a coincidence. Lynch's ability feels pretty Jojo-ish too, and I love it. It's a really cool ability.

That was a good batch of chapters, but damn, the pace is slow (maybe it's because of the hiatuses that it feels that way to me though). I'm a bit more invested in the succession war than before, but I'm still more interested in the Hisoka and Phantom Troupe subplot.

It should feel pretty JoJo-ish, Lynch's ability is very similar to a Stand from Purple Haze Feedback, the light novel that takes place just after the events of Part 5.

Seems Togashi has been reading Vento Aureo lately, or maybe it's in honour of the anime?
