Pitou wasn't revived. He's just an animated zombie. Even if he went on and kill everyone else at best he'd just wonder around as a headless zombie trying to find Meryem. There's no way you'd consider that as being alive. The 'empowered by death' clause goes beyond an issue of power even...

That's impossible because the condition of 'strengthened by death' occurs after death, not on the verge of death. By the time his aura is enhanced, he by definition already died. At this point he's not recovering from being on verge of death. He's actually recovering from death itself...

While Kortopi isn't a combat specialist, the rest of the Spiders are a lot weaker than Chrollo. When Hisoka asked Kurapika to team up with him, he said that he wanted to fight Chrollo but it's impossible to find him without at least two other members. We know that he has no intention to...

Outside of Chrollo the Spiders aren't terribly strong. If you look at their fight against Ants several of them took some time, sustained injuries, and needed to use significant moves against opponents that the palace assault team would be killing in one frame. Silva killed Cheetu in one hit...

That's not surgery. Similar to his fight against Kastro where he lost both of his arms, he simply glued them back on and based on the fight against Kastro we can infer that taping your limbs back on is a viable quick-fix solution since he was able to continue fighting just fine in that fight...

If the point is that it doesn't take much to survive death then the world would've adjusted to this a long time ago. When fighting the Ants, Kite warned Gon and Killua that Ants do not die easily so it's best to completely smash their head to ensure there are no surprises. If all it takes is...

The whole Hisoka thing is more like a gross misuse of semantics. If someone in real life was shot five times and left for dead but somehow did not die, you wouldn't say this guy must have died but somehow resurrected himself. You'd say this guy somehow survived despite his wounds. Not even...

Unlike most manga, the narrator generally tells the story from whatever the current major character is and it's biased from that guy's point of view. The point is that Kurapika is a hotheaded, biased guy that might rip your head off for mentioning anything related to spiders or his dead clan...

Even a normal Kurta without any knowledge of aura can get a boost of power from eyes turning red, so the eyes themselves are some kind of adrenaline rush effect. Since there is no free lunch in HXH, we can assume keeping the eyes red is always going to be draining on your stamina. It sounds to...

Even amongst aura users Netero is an exception. Way back in the Hunter Exam there was a discussion on his age and Mr. Bean said something like "I think he's 100 years old 20 years ago" to a bunch of other Hunters. If it's common for aura users to live to 120 that scene would serve no purpose...

Sanada said it's impossible to escape yips by yourself (besides Ryoma, and later Yukimura). However, it's clear in current POT rules anybody can randomly jump in the court and slap the affected individual and turn them back to normal. So as long as you got a pro-level guy (can hire one if your...

Tanegashima is way overrated. He's on the weakest team in the round robin (the three labels are a Japanese thing for team A/B/C and he's on the C team) which is why he joked it's fine if they lose to Greece. His special technique just means he doesn't get killed (literally) against someone...

The obsession on human evil is getting pretty lame. Apparently how dangerous you are is now a function of how evil you are as opposed to how capable you are. It's one thing that an evil person is more likely to develop a destructive ability, but it's not like you can just wish for an uber...

I think Akutsu will pull a Fuji and lose 6-0 while almost scoring a point and sustain some kind of career ending injury and/or die, but some random commenter will say this is an incredible game and he's surpassed all the MSers including Ryoma for almost scoring a point, and that if he didn't die...

I'm looking forward to Akutsu becoming the first person dying from tennis.
