    Now that Halkenburg’s body is dead, Bals will reclaim control of his body. Until Bals passes out from the pill taking effect. Then Halkenburg will remain in control for roughly 10 hours (the time Bals will be sleeping) to swap again, or else, his soul will forever be gone. Halkenburg will use the funeral filled with his guards and supporters to fuel ammo for another round soul firing. Multiple shots, to have a higher probability of having his soul swapping with a target.

      @@ave22313what? His body was declared dead at the end of this chapter. Halkenburg states that death in regards to the succession war is body and soul. His soul still lives for now, so his beast is still in effect.

      People are glossing over a key thing Halkenburg said when explaining his ability. The second question he asked was what happens when the mind not only loses its original, but also the body they currently are inhabiting. He answered that it’s obvious given it’s meant to help him in the succession war. I read that as if Halkenburg’s mind is without a body then it will be returned to his original body and essentially brought back to life. I think Halkenburg can only die if his mind dies within his own body. Halkenburg likely has to have his body close by. The funeral procession is to turn every citizen in tiers 1-3 into his followers. Depending on the timing that could affect Kaiser and those within the lower princes’ circles who does support Halkenburg.
      I still see Halkenburg using the sleeping pill prior to procession. I see him using the arrow to shoot Benjamin and whoever controls him will contact 1st Queen that the plan was a success and to transfer all power Benjamin has to Halkenburg. If Halkenburg is the one to be put in Benjamin then I see him killing himself to force his mind back into his body. If Halkenburg’s supporters is the one inside of Benjamin then I see The supporter killing Halkenburg, who is inside of Might, to force Halkenburg back to his body then killing themselves so Benjamin’s mind no longer has a body to return to. That, to everyone else, will look like Benjamin killed his own soldier then himself. No suspicion will be on Halkenburg because his body was confirmed dead and his supporters never entered the room. I think the Christian comparison might happen with Halkenburg revealing he’s been brought back to save Kakin will boost his support because it will look like a miracle

      And I'm not saying they must be close to him to activate his ability. No, he can do it from a distance because that feather will make it easier to do it. It's just a theory but for now I'm not convinced that he died literally

    Great Podcast! One big takeaway that I don't see mentioned often is the similarities between Halkenburg's Ability and Kite's crazy slots. Both abilities are rooted in probability and both possibly allow resurrection/reincarnation. I think it is possible that we learn the mechanics behind probability in nen and how crazy slots works in the next ten chapters.

    i just had a sudden realization. Togashi is using Halkinburg's mind swap ability as an explanation of 4 kite number slot ability. implicating that kite did infact have something similar because he his life was on the line when he role the number he did. This also explains why Kite had his memories when he was brought back being so instant that he was himself. the kola back him when he says the body kite was in one that was similar or the same the girl he killed so in order for her to live being ant in the first place. The theory we've had about kites soul taking a new body is now 100% true.
    Now here the speculation-
    I think that now has 1 the same understanding of nen and its theories same as he did when he was alive evident in his demeanor. He was himself. However being a new body he needs time to adjust and figure out what his chimra body is capable of simply based on the fact that kite was a human. he always has been. there no evidence to suggest that he would magical know how to control his new body so when we see him what the first thing he does? Train. i don't think the significance of the weapon matter much but its the fact that combat and getting up to his body was the first thing he did as a child. Kite does not have the nen category he did originally. He is in a brand new body and one that was born a twin to the king no less. We learn in meruem is actually an emitter and his ability aura systhis was simply an evolution of the ants nature. The ant queen act people and life needing to eat dozens of people with the hope of that her children maybe possess aura on birth then we look a meruem. He was able to eat people who had aura and take them for himself and we see it applies to abilities because it works on shiapouf and rage man.
    i think kite has an an innate ability like the meruem himself what it is I'm not sure of. As for kite new nen category I think this new category is manipulation being meruem opposite to the raw power approach. We still haven't seen the full scope of manipulation like we have with other categories and it would subvert the idea of specialists become common. I do think specialization is in the cards as well as maybe kite possesses the same nen type have 2 or 3 separate conjuration abilities to showing his mastery and with his extra aura from being a technical ant king. My final speculation is that Kite may actually just be a manipulator and be the first we see in the story who natural turns specialist

    When Dylan said he wanted to check in with Marayam for another chapter or two, my first thought was that I could say that about literally anyone. Marayam, Hisoka, Beyond, Camilla, Leorio... We can switch the focus to literally anyone and it would be interesting. This is peak storytelling.

    I thnk his nen ability can only be used in conjuction with his GSB because he needs the nen of his followers for the posession arrows. Normally I don't think nen works in a transference since, so this I don't believe would be possible with his Nen beast influence since their are semi-coercieve manipulation taking place

    Based on what Ive seen Togashi is hitting the gas peddle and it has affected the storytelling a little bit. 401 was incredible top to bottom but 402 is the weakest so far, the way they get Melody to agree to helping assassinate Luzurus could have been done better, for all of that text I dont feel there was enough deduction and reserve from melody for engaging in the plan, I think Togashi even recognized this having melody sent that letter to Kurapika to try to show she doesnt want to have anymore princes die. 403 was good but they could have done a better job at letting audiences understand Halkenburg was in control of Ballz since about 50% of the reactors I watched couldnt tell what was going on.
    404 was also good but had some things im a bit mixed on, first off I think it didnt do the best job at explaining Halkenburg's ability, (this comes back into the whole Togashi rushing thing), I think they definitely should have shown Hawkenburg experimenting a bit more in the background of other chapter's so the explanation could have been better followed but as is the wall of text is a bit hard to parse, the most egregious mistake of it to me is how they talk about Halkenburg's plans, they really should have made it a bigger deal to halkenburg about the arrow randomly selecting him as the body swap, the way halkenburg talks it makes it seem like it was always the plan to kill his body...? but that really doesnt make a whole lot of sense if someone else had infiltrated Ballz, as is it makes halkenburg seem a bit dumb since his current plan is so risky, if they had distinguished more that this was not the original plan or it was definitely a setback (but a setback they had planned for leading them toward a riskier move) then it would feel alot less like a poor play.
    Another thing in 404 that makes me think togashi is rushing is the lack of dialogue from Cheadle and Leorio in the scenario where they had to give up taking care of the Prince to the Royal Doctors, there's no way I could see Leorio not having some sort of passionate reaction towards what was going on since the integrity of being a doctor is at Leorio's core character, having Cheadle put Leorio's head back in line with understanding words about their mission and the current situation absolutely should have been there.
    As for predictions I could see a few things occurring, the worst outcome would be if Halkenburg tries to take over Benjiman and fails due to the nen beast since its "blowing ability" was only set up 2 chapters ago (but with the way Togashi is speeding im afraid I could see it) so Im going to go with other predictions. I do think Halkenburg's plan will partially succeed, it could involve taking over the King but Im inclined to think he will be after taking over Benjamin to set up a strategy BirdBrain couldnt think of, there could be a bunch of body swapping in between this (im not sure but the hijinks could get crazy if other people are swapped into previous bodies), I think Halkensburg will get Benji but his plan to ultimately win (while working alot) will hit a snag and at some point he will be forced into having to switch into another body. I do think Halkenburg will last for quite a while potentially in the background trying to set up a new plan. To me Halkenburg is sadly destined to die at the hands of Parallel Future, Tsureidnichs ability is the ultimate counter to Halkenburg, his arrow will finally miss and he will die.
    Other predictions, I think we will see 1 phantom troupe member die in this batch of 20, I actually could see Kaiges theory about it being Nobunaga being betrayed by Heinrig after they go all out on the Heil Lei dealing with alot of them. Also after reading 401 I dont think Dylan's theory about Beyond's story being dealt with is too far fetched anymore, there's a 25% chance imo that given this arc gets 100 more chapters I could see Beyond's entire story getting unfolded and wrapped up due to his plans hubris seeing so many as pawns in such a big long scheme underestimating the King, I could definitely see it (we would absolutely get a ton badass fights from Beyond though if that were the case, hed probably kill a couple important characters (maybe a zodiac or 2?). If things were to go this way the DC factions would be the Zodiacs and Ging/Paristons group (ultimately I think this group would split into 2 as well), Cheedle would lead the Zodiac's (the Zodiacs will not be ready for DC many will die) but would at some point be fatally injured forcing Leorio into a leadership position forcing him to become a Hunter worthy of being Chairman (the 2 MC's will be Leorio and Ging at that point). Anyway I still think its more likely that Beyond makes it to the DC but its definitely now a large possibility that things could flip on its head since Beyond is so involved in the Succession War. Praying Morena gets to make it off the boat to meet Gyro (she's so cool and they would be a perfect match).

      @HunterAssociationPod  วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @@miyamotomusashi6450 This is just speculation, as this wasn’t outright said in the chapter. But I think anything that affects the body will only affect the spirit of the body’s actual owner. In the same way that Balsamilco’s spirit didn’t die when Halkenburg’s body did. So since Halkenburg isn’t the “owner” of Balsamilco’s body, the sleeping pills won’t work on him. It helps to think of Halkenburg like a parasite. The body doesn’t belong to him, but he does inhabit it, so therefore he gets full reign when Balsamilco is asleep.

    I’m rereading the chapter and I think I understand Halkenburg’s ability a bit more.
    Halkenburg said he needed to know 2 things first before acting on his plan.
    1.) when the target’s body (the body being hit with the arrow) dies, what happens to the mind within? This question is answered with the mind dies alongside the body. The ability only works with those who believes in Halkenburg and the greater good, so if they were hesitant then arrow wouldn’t use them as a source of power. You essentially had to be all in or not be included.
    2.) what if the target’s mind (the mind being hit with the arrow), having lost a body to return to (their original body), also loses his current body (the current body they inhabit)? Halkenburg says that the answer is obvious given the fact that this ability is supposed to help him win the succession battle. I believe that Halkenburg is alluding to the idea that his mind will go to the nearest body in that scenario and essentially making Halkenburg unable to be killed when he’s not within his own body.
    One of the comments in this video pointing out the processions and that Might (Halkenburg) will bring Halkenburg’s body to Benjamin is a key point I didn’t consider with my theory.
    My theory as of now is as followed:
    - Might (Halkenburg) will take the sleeping pill
    - Halkenburg’s guards will start the procession on tier 3
    - while in tier 3, Halkenburg will gain many followers and support by his guards singing his praises and to not let Halkenburg’s dreams die
    - when they reach Benjamin, Might (Halkenburg) will bring the body to Benjamin. Halkenburg’s guards will wait outside or in a separate room.
    - Might (Halkenburg) will use the arrow, separated from his guards, to mind swap with Benjamin.
    - Might (Might & Benjamin) will awaken and be told that if he were to kill Benjamin (Halkenburg) then Benjamin’s mind is forever trapped in Might
    - Benjamin can have Might (Might & Benjamin) arrested under suspicion of Halkenburg’s death
    - Benjamin (Halkenburg) can write a will passing off all power of royal guards and ability to use martial law to 1st Queen
    - Benjamin (Halkenburg) can then kill himself, which will eject his mind back into his original body (Halkenburg) and then leaves Benjamin no body to return to if Might (Might & Benjamin) dies
    - this process can bring his body back to life and unleash a post mortem nen ability similarly to Hisoka when he faced Chrollo.
    - Halkenburg walks out the room and tells his supporters to spread the word that he miraculously came back to life all according to plan
    - that now can turn a ton of people in tiers 3 and up to Halkenburg supporters with the mark making Halkenburg that much stronger
    - 1st Queen passes all power Benjamin had to Halkenburg

    • @spiraltriggerex
      @spiraltriggerex 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      TL;DR Hunter X Hunter edition
      HalkenMight with Halkenburg’s guards will gain supporters during the procession. HalkenMight will shoot Benjamin with the arrow creating Benjamight (2 in 1 body) and BenjaBurg. BenjaBurg arrest Benjamight then kills himself. Halkenburg returns to his own body and revives due to ability or spiritual beast. Halkenburg immortal as long as he doesn’t die within own body and have supporters.
