wow that is a fearsome power. in essence, she has no real power at all and she has unlimited power. you cant walk away and you can't not respond. and the extent of her power is based on what the previous person wished for. so if killua succeeds, the next person will most likely not be able to ask for anything as they wont be able to give anything. which means this girl will have to be completely isolated.

unlike other Nen abilities that have self imposed conditions, she was born with this probably...

One thing Killua could do is to complete her pesterings, but then ask for a tiny wish (like breathe or upsy daisy). Then the pesterings will be easier for everyone.

But in order to save Gon, the pesterings afterwards would be great again >.>. Could he ask Alluka to change her specialist nen ability then?

In any case, Killua's gonna face hard hardships O.o

By the way Alluka is the fourth son in the Zoldyck Family. And so he is Killuas brother, not sister. Mangazones translation isn't very accurate

so Alluka is not a nen remover .. since killua went for her help I thought she would be
her power is quite fair, giving something and gaining something back.
Togashi you are awesome .. this kind of chapters is why HxH my favorite of all Jump manga

Haha, yeah, that confused me for a minute. I was pretty sure they were 5 brothers.

Anyway, wow, Alluka's power is really amazing. I'm really nervous/excited for next week. I wonder what Alluka's going to ask for...

ahhh good analysis. This is getting interesting. I thought she was also a nen remover at first but damn, Togashi really is original with his concepts and all. Can't wait for next week!

i was kind of struck by his father's reaction to this. given the last encounter, i did not think his father was the father figure type so as to say he was concerned about his well being. i thought that their entire family were a weak perish, strong survive type of family. maybe this goes to show the gravity of using this method.

Omg. This was one of the creepiest chapters ever. And that power is... horrifying.
But it might be able to save Gon! But at what price for Killua? ;___; I'm so afraid for them all now.


not just killua, if he fails both will die. assuming Gon is his most important person, which we can assume so at this point.

don't forget that Gon's ability shaved off a huge amount of his life away. if the pestering is small, the cost of the next wish after killua will be massive. this is considering that Gon is just just a human being, he is the son of one of the most powerful hunter, and he is also a pretty powerful hunter at that.

it has been a while since i have been excited about the next chapter of a manga. the author really has upped his game big time.

I don't think he's concerned about Killua's "well-being" per se, it's just that Killua's the family heir since everyone agrees he was born to be an assassin. Thus Killua's everyone's favourite child and the family (especially Illumi) have a creepy protectiveness when it comes to him.

in some ways shes the most powerful person on the planet but at the same time she is the weakest; it would be simple to kill her by saying `I wish you were dead'.

Alluka's power made me really love this chapter. For one of my stories a character has a very imaginative power and I think it's fair to say that it was inspired in part by Hunter x Hunter and JJBA.

Hmm, oddly enough, mangastream seem to agree with the "sister" translation. Maybe the original Japanese says something clear like "imouto"? Guess they might not actually be five brothers.

They refer to Kalluto as a girl as well, which is understandable with the way he's dressed. I don't know.

That's another super-powered character to deal with, though. I hope this doesn't turn into something long-term that they'll have to fight/etc. Really loved the chapter, though. I like where the series is going at the moment.

I find this comment strange, for more reasons than one. The first is "Kalluto"? Where might you have possibly gotten that name from, the only one used to refer to Killua's sibling has been Alluka.

Second the bold, that seems like a reeeeeally huge stretch you're making there. That just because Alluka's powers are quite unmatchable that he/she would be the initiate for a long-term battle despite there being no indication toward that.

Not to mention any1 can kill her before she manages to get enough requests.The only way for her to be strong, is when somebody is patient enough to reject all her requests.

So it cant be effectively used as a weapon. Its more like... a ticking bomb of gold you should avoid. Which is why she is locked up I guess.

I don't know about Kalluto, though Japanese wiki says in the character book Kalluto is said to be otouto (younger brother) with a ? mark.

However, in this chapter Killua comes out and calls Alluka his sister, while all the butlers/baby-sitters call her 'bocchan' which is used for boys.

My guess, for some reason they had to raise her as a boy.

Yeah you can kill her before she even asks anything but on the other hand i guess you can use her to kill someone if he doesn't know that he will get killed after denying her 4 times. Well of course that counts only if the person isn't a character that will kill immediately someone when getting slightly annoyed by a question.
For example that ant king that killed most people the moment they talked wouldn't be a good target but a guy like Hisoka might actually sit and laugh a little with the strange requests and get himself killed.

Anyway if the computer wasn't something very difficult then Killua might not get hurt. After that i don't see the problem. His not the one that has to pay so they can just use some random person. I don't think they care killing some guy and his friends to reset the wish thing since they are assassins.

Wow, that's fucking twisted. Gon may be "fixed" but there is going to be huge consequences for whoever is in the same room with Alluka from then. So, I guess he/she'll be locked up for good after this? The moral consequences....

Also, the black eyes were creepy as fuck.

Alluka is one of the most interesting characters in the whole series. Her power is typical Togashi, in that it feels very logical and follows rules that you will have to work around.

And the chapter did feel a bit like a Junji Ito-one shot. The face of the butler asking for the money did have a typical Ito-face.
