What This is Nanika all over again What Hisoka used was an asspull in its most pure form. "But it wasn't guaranteed to work!" "But he just did CPR!" It worked, it's an asspull. Never have we heard about someone deliberately using his nen after death. That would be like commanding my nen to delete my internet history after my death. Machi part was so stupid I was tempted to jump off my window and end my life. Did she suddenly forget that Hisoka indirectly killed two members of the spider? She has absolutely no reason to go soft on him, Hisoka just wanted to help the boss in order to kill him next. Also, why didn't Hisoka accept Machi stitching him up? His fingers and leg are just made of rubber now, he can't use them like before. If he's fine with this and the rubber parts are boosting his fighting abilities, why didn't he do the same thing against Kastro with his arm? Finally, if the troupe really wanted to confirm Hisoka's death, why didn't they bring someone stronger like Feitan or Phinks? If Hisoka wakes up (which he did), everyone's fucked. Why confirm his death in the first place? Completely fucked conclusion to this fight, it feels like the point of Hisoka vs Chrollo was just to show that Hisoka doesn't stand a chance against a prepared Chrollo. Gave me some pretty good laughs however and I like where the story is going, so 5/5. |

It wasn't granted to him; Hisoka did die, but died with a great wish to live. So on the brink of death he prays to his bungee gum to become stronger through death and massage his heart and lungs. He just had that strong wish and gave that command to his nen. But that was just a huge bet if his wish weren't great enough, or he wasn't in a condition to get revived through heart massage he would still be dead. It's totally conforming with the way nen stronger through death works in the series, that's why he didn't got any drawbacks. He was just smart to use his own nen to revive himself. Second, he didn't get healed. He just put a "makeup" to his injuries with his Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise like he always did in the manga. He really never "recreated" a limb before, but remember that his nen got stronger so he has better control of his Bungee Gum now. That makes it even dumber, fuck nen vows my Bungee Gum can make me stronger without me having any drawbacks..... Really? Not Bungee Gum but death made his nen stronger because of his wish. It so happens that Bungee Gum can contract and expand so it can work to revive somebody through heart massage. BigBoss said: MajinAkuma said: BigBoss said: That makes it even dumber, fuck nen vows my Bungee Gum can make me stronger without me having any drawbacks..... Really? The Chimera Ants had ridiculously powerful Nen without any vows. Hisoka's Nen got stronger after dying. Or do you expect a drawback from Nen from a dead person who is now undead? Chimera ants are completely different case tho, their whole biology is different then human ones and even with those extremely powerful nen aura they could still be killed and you know.....actually stay dead...... Pitou is probably something like 5 times if not even more stronger than Hisoka and the best she could do is after dying to make the puppet move her corpse, but here we have Hisoka doing gods work. Pitou's wish was to kill Gon that's why he activated Terpsichora after death. He could have activated Doctor Blythe and get revived (or actually not because he got his head exploded, so he would just become a puppet) but obviously Gon wouldn't wait for that. All this "massaging back to life" is all good and all but how is everybody ignoring the time frame in which that was done. Bungee Gum clearly didn't keep massaging it only started it after they moved him to a hotel room which lets be real probably takes time..... and it wasn't only a heart massage but even a lung massage? Now that's a different issue. Brain death can occur in less than 10 minutes and even being quick wouldn't save someone from brain damage. Even so, there's not really a way to know the time frame. The place they are in looks like a gym locker room, so I would say they are still inside Heavens Arena. And everybody know these guys are quick with their business, so it doesn't look too far fetched to me he got revived in less than 10 minutes. What I really want to clarify is that Bungee Gum by itself hasn't any property to revive someone, nor is it some almighty ability, just that it can do CPR. lol Yes the brain fully dies in 3 or so minutes so even if they did hit the timing for the massaging heart and lungs the brain functionality would be long gone. Never mentioned that Bungee Gum has any healing powers but at how "versatile" it is that wtf is even the limit to that then. And I'm saying it isn't versatile in the way you're implying in this topic. lol All it did was contract and expand it's just its basic function. What can be called a problem here is just in the timing for CPR, base in real world facts of course. But we are talking about HxH. Killua has trained to withstand electric shocks and poison while not even knowing nen, so these guys are stronger people than "real" people in the first place. And I don't know why you thought they have gone to a Hotel room and took their time and all. Exactly. I think we have all seen way more crazy stuff in this series than in this chapter. If a character "comes back from the dead" in any work of fiction, the first reaction is almost always disbelief. My very first reaction upon reading this chapter was also "omg wtf deus ex machina saved Hisoka", but after giving it some thought, I actually think his revival is one of the most internally consistent ones I have seen in a long time. Also, you can argue that the very fact that the CPR was successful indicates that the time frame between the explosion and his revival was indeed a short one. AFAIK we have no other convincing means of establishing how much time has passed, so isn't it best to go with what best suits the story instead of making up numbers (some people here are claiming more than one hour has passed, why?). Come on, give Togashi some credit. |

Mikasa said: The only sensible conjecture here is what that guy said about fiction's standards compared to real life. As for the heart rate issue, what if he only let out the blood via certain streams? And the chest beat reduced due to the gum? Pretty sure he was full blown dead as he said it himself when he came back to life not in "maintenance half alive mode" where he somehow hid his signs of life and that wasn't even the command that he gave to bungee gum. |

DarkAngel035 said: Okay. I just finished reading the complete English scanlation of this chapter and it all makes sense. I know I said it felt like an asspull earlier and I take it back. Hisoka did die due to suffocation and it's not difficult to understand why he managed to revive. He revived by giving his nen orders that should he die, let it (his nen in the form of bungee gum) revive and massage his heart and lungs. It's not that impossible given that his nen has the properties of both rubber and gum acting as protective nen from further damaging his organs and and due to his great resolve, it stayed and activated after his death. "Nen activated" after death has been already established with the Chimera Ants. Chrollo's "sun and moon" is also one example. It's not the first time HxH brought this idea and that nen after death is even much stronger. And about Hisoka's growing limbs...no, they didn't really grow back to the original. It's more like just a facade to deceive you into thinking that his limbs and all his wounds have recovered but they have not. As I have already mentioned, his nen has the properties of rubber and gum so his "recovered" limbs and flesh parts were not real flesh and limbs but are actually made out of rubber and attached them because of its gum properties. So in a nutshell, his current form is that hideous form of his after the fight should he remove his texture surprise. There wasn't healing made. It was all a lie and deceit to look as if he actually recovers. Nen after death was established in Yprknew. In the 1999 anime both Uvo and Paku haunt Kurapika after death. |

What an awful chapter, not because I hate Hisoka, but because of the blatant plot convenience some are calling an ass-pull and how it essentially reformed his character altogether. Hisoka basically assassinated both Kortopi and Shalnark, wtf? I'm more concerned about Kalluto now. Hisoka said he was going to hunt down the rest of the troupe which puts Kalluto in danger. I love the entire Zoldyck family but his/her death would be an interesting way to involve Killua and his family in this arc, damn. I find it hilarious how people think Feitans a badass considering how hard he struggled against that fake ant queen when compared to the other's fight against the royal guards and king who were immensely more powerful than it. That "painpacker" crap may be good in series like DBZ and Fairy Tail where all the heroes and villains stand around staring at each other during fights but in HxH, that ability's a total joke. It doesn't take much for people to die in this series, most abilities and combat presented in this show are all almost instantly fatal. Hisoka will probably one shot him, lol. |

His Bungee Gum brings him back to life, conveniently as soon as the other Troupe members leave the room, and also repairs his damaged limbs to the point where he can easily kill healthy Troupe members.............? And some people don't see why others would find this as plot armour? Machi was inflicted with Plot-induced stupidity. She as an experienced Nen user knows full well how Nen works and not only decides to go tamper with Hisoka's dead body of all people, but decides to do so when the other Troupe members leave the room! Seriously? |

Because they think he is dead? why would they be in a hurry if hey know for a fact that he is dead for what reason would they want to do this in like 5 min or so? they even checked to see if he is dead for sure, stayed in the room for a while, did we even read the same chapter? The nen activated, the time of activation itself isn't a property of Bungee Gum. There is not really a set time for nen activation after death, if there was they would await that time to confirm. Pitou too didn't activated right away. Well, you can call this time too convenient but as I said it doesn't have to do with Bungee Gum. All Hisoka did was wish and give the command, he wasn't yet alive to time the command of his Bungee Gum or his nen. He was dead and all, but clearly they weren't in a hotel room, which Hotel room has gym lockers? They must be still inside Heavens Arena. Also all this speculation about time frames is dumb. |

This chapter was super BIZARRE.... It0s time of Hisoka Bizarre adventures - the limit of 3 minutes refers to lethal sequels, not a brain death itself. - there were cases in which a person did not suffer lethal consequences after getting a revival 3 minutes/more later. - Chrollo will be a passenger, not a bodyguard I understand the NeN. I'm completly sure that the revival was not an asspull. In fact the criticism goes to the fact how easy Hisoka's healed his injuries after death: apparently... he's stronger. then when my Boy Gon recovers his Aura, he will be stronger Come on. Hisoka, Pariston, phanton trope, The zodiac, Beyond, Kurapika, Leorio, the princes: Thanks Togashi |

The only thing I couldn't really understand was How could Hisoka survive that blast with such magnitude? and ho exactly this "Nen become stronger through death" works? About how he fixed his wound, I think he didn't really heal all his wound at all. As far as I can understand he just use his gum and molded it like the lost parts of his body (fingers and foot) and using texture surprise to clean it and make it looks real. But the wound is technically still there, he still lost his right foot and that one he re-made is just a fake one from nen. It is almost like Aokiji who replace his foot from ice I think, also I saw one panel when his right foot turn into rubber to enhance his speed when he was about to kill shalnark. |

Hisoka asked Machi if he was dead and she said he was as dead as a rock or something, Machi has the best senses of any troupe member so if she says so, then it is beyond any reasonable doubt I think. Yeah. I don't understand why it is so hard for some fans to admit that the writer made a mistake. It doesn't take anything away from the series or mangaka, this is still an amazing story with very little mistakes but ch 357 sucked. |

Mikasa said: The thing is, People thing the gum was activated when machi was there after like an hour or so. The Nen she saw was his WHOLE nen, that means this is the time he woke up. The gum could have been working inside since the beginning for all we know. I don't agree with that. The Ryodan would for sure use Gyo to confirm his death, then they would see the Bungee Gum. policemanking said: What This is Nanika all over again What Hisoka used was an asspull in its most pure form. "But it wasn't guaranteed to work!" "But he just did CPR!" It worked, it's an asspull. Never have we heard about someone deliberately using his nen after death. That would be like commanding my nen to delete my internet history after my death. Pitou anyone? policemanking said: Also, why didn't Hisoka accept Machi stitching him up? His fingers and leg are just made of rubber now, he can't use them like before. Then how would he start hunting the spiders with all Machi's nen inside him? lol |

Mikasa said: MoonStar9 said: His Bungee Gum brings him back to life, conveniently as soon as the other Troupe members leave the room, and also repairs his damaged limbs to the point where he can easily kill healthy Troupe members.............? And some people don't see why others would find this as plot armour? Machi was inflicted with Plot-induced stupidity. She as an experienced Nen user knows full well how Nen works and not only decides to go tamper with Hisoka's dead body of all people, but decides to do so when the other Troupe members leave the room! Seriously? Machi did literally nothing other than close his eyes Touching his body, while alone and knowing Nen can be activated after death, was stupid. She should have at least been cautious it was booby trapped with Nen. It wasn't, but she should have expected it. |

I'm a HUGE fan of HxH; it's my favorite shonen by far and one of my favorite anime/manga of all time. If there's an author I trust, it's Togashi, and I'm willing to bet it's possible that after a few chapters, I'll go back on what I'm thinking right now but... Hisoka's revival is indeed an asspull. I find it odd that there are people trying to say it makes sense. I'm well aware that it's a manga and not meant to be medically accurate or anything like that, but it made absolutely NO SENSE. Even if his bungee gum had become more powerful after death (willing to accept that because it is indeed consistent with the things that have been presented in the series), it should not be able to massage or jump start any of his organs or anything like that. Not to mention, shouldn't he be brain dead as well? I think it would have worked out better if he had to make some sort of nen covenant that had severe consequences and/or restrictions. Or just stayed dead...(and yes I'm a big hisoka fan, but this felt a bit cheap). |

The drawings aren't very clear so I can't really tell, she might not even have started. |

Hisoka's resurrection makes sense why don't you see the plot behind this? Ging vs Pariston Beyond vs Zodiac Kurapika vs Troupe/ prince Hisoka vs Troupe the calamities? the dark continent? the best form all this is precisely Togashi give us an exciting plot behind the fighting, not only/the classic: "how dare you to kick my friend ass, I'll fight you just because" |

Just about every single complaint on here saying how this was an "asspull" was explained away in the chapter. The condition that made it work was that Hisoka utterly accepted "death", which, like Gon-san, strengthened the contract immeasurably. It was a gamble to begin with, because if his flaring of Ren hadn't worked in physically protecting him - along with some of the puppets that diluted the explosion - his heart-and-lungs resuscitation wouldn't have cut it. It's a somewhat contrived scenario dependent on luck, but the whole point is to remind us of how absurdly talented and psychotic Hisoka is; that he'll easily gambit away his life at a mere chance of survival. As for why he's now "randomly" targeting the spiders, he knows that the one thing Chrollo truly cares about is the spiders' survival, which is his legacy. This will motivate him to now chase Hisoka, which will now give him the choice of playing field. Also: "asspull" may just be my most hated internet-phrase. |

...ok, what the fuck. Hisoka just pulled a gigantic deus ex out of his ass to stay alive and started killing all the Troupe for no reason at all? Wasn't killing the Troupe Kurapika's purpose in this story? This is getting pretty wild, honestly, but it's fun. This feels like Yorknew arc 2.0, which is fine by me.

Lmao, Hisoka is now a zombie pedo murder clown, how can this man get even worse? The people complaining about Hisoka coming back to life need to read more bizarre medical cases... there have been grandmas who've come back to life 45+ minutes after being confirmed dead by medical professionals, without the assistance of Nen and with no apparent brain damage.

Asspull is overused IMO. It's not like Togashi contradicted anything he's established before. People have a tendency to get wrapped up in their own headcanons, and forget that world building is a continuous process... massive info-dumps that establish all the "rules" of a universe at the beginning of a story would be incredibly tedious and boring. |

Well chrollo still has their nen powers, so they were already weakened but still a glimpse of their fight could have been shown, although I very much doubt how long was lol after zombie hisoka. Also it was kinda foreshadowed abt shalnark https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/4nanjt/shalnarks_fortune/ I agree with all other points though. I will also add hisoka felt a bit out of character for me. |

But what price did he pay then? sure it seems that he didn't really heal any of his missing limbs but it sure looks like he doesn't need them as bungee gum is even more then enough of a replacement. This was such a huge feat yet almost nothing was payed as a price, if something will be brought up in future chapters I am looking forward to that but from what we currently have, I'm not buying this shit. |
