Kurapika - Awesome
And I'll never get over Gon and Killua being really freaking lethal and really freaking adorable at the same time.

"It was good to see your old self. It's my role to be the reckless one and it's your role to be the calm one and stop me"
It was painful on how that statement would make perfect sense later in the series....
Gon and Killua captured by the Phantom Troupe was always so unnerving. It was impressive on how they managed to follow Machi and Nobunaga without giving away their location. If it were not for Phinks and Pakunoda, it would be a good trailing mission.The two Spiders even admitted themselves on how good Gon and Killua's zetsu were in concealing their presence. The awkward reunion of the two kids with Hisoka was also funny.
Another arm wrestling happened in the Phantom Troupe's base but this time, Gon was clearly overwhelmed by Nobunaga's strength. But that burst of frustration from him that allowed him to defeat Nobunaga even once was so satisfying. He was kind of impressed that he even offered the kids to join the troupe.
On the other hand, the cheeky and confident Killua looked scared after realizing his and Gon's strength were nothing compared to the Spiders, he was on his old constrained self. He was already thinking of a way to escape, and even offered to be a bait just to let Gon run away. Because he was trained to be cautious and not to face anyone who he thought would be above him in strength, it was a nature for him to react that way. But that was his major weakness. If you think about it, being cautious was actually a good call, but the way Killua acted was not normal and that was thanks to his family. I always hated seeing him in that state.
The curating talk at the beginning with Zepile was actually not my cup of tea but it amused me on how the side breaching, one of the curating terminology, was able to help Gon and Killua find their escape from Nobunaga.
The Phantom Troupe was now on the move to track down the chain-user aka Kurapika. It was getting more exciting.

lwandlemsom11_'s review against another edition
the fact that i started this series at volume ten just because i got excited to see a manga in our public library is mental. i didn't understand half of the things that were talked about, which i'm sure they were covered in the last nine volumes. so i'll just leave this unrated till i read the series in order.
