The fight between Zeno and Silva Zoldyck versus Chrollo Lucilfer, not a very long fight but wow! We can definitely see how high caliber all three of them were. I always loved how they're good at detailing and analyzing their opponent's abilities in their head while still fighting at the same time. I now understand that HxH has no power levels when it comes to the characters. It all comes down to wit and strategies on how to efficiently handle their Nen abilities. As to the question of who would win between one-on-one fight with Chrollo and Zeno, no one would know until it actually happened.
There was also the surprising appearance of Illumi, Kalluto and Maha after killing the Ten Dons. Though it was crazy on how the Zoldyck's assassin business works, their professionalism, especially Zeno's, gained my respect. On the other hand, I know Killua's older brother Illumi would always be creepy but I would admit I liked him. Kind of. I admire his abilities as a Nen user and how confidently and straightforwardly he handles his opponent. For now, I'll just forget on how he mentally and emotionally tortured Killua because that single fact is the reason why I can't fully like him.
After hearing Chrollo's *fake* death, and other five Phantom Troupe members, Kurapika didn't believed it at first, not until he saw the *fake* corpses. His eyes looked so empty and you can feel the void in his heart. Who wouldn't be, if you learned that the people you're determined to track down and kill for revenge after killing your whole clan were all dead and you had nothing to do with it. It was like he lost half of his purpose in life. I hated seeing the depressed Kurapika, it was making me depressed, too.
But then, after all that, the gang was now complete for the first time in a while! Thanks to Gon and Killua's playfulness, Kurapika was able to sincerely smile even after what happened with the Spiders. He refused to help Gon and Killua learn Nen through him though because it was dangerous as his Nen was created for revenge and it would not help the kids. He also able to explain some extent of his abilities, the status of his condition and pledge that made his Nen stronger.
I can't wait for the next volume as we're going to see the gang's journey against the Phantom Troupe continues to unravel.
PS. Chrollo with his hair down is a sight to behold!
