Chasing Shadows

As of Chapter 397 of Hunter x Hunter, I’m no longer certain the Phantom Troupe is responsible for the Kurta massacre. In this post, I’ll explain why I hold this belief, who I think might be responsible, and why Kurapika’s quest for revenge may be even more misguided than we thought.

It’s a common theory that the Yorknew City fortunes foreshadowed the deaths of Shalnark and Kortopi. For this reason, many believe Shizuku will meet her fate in the treasure room of the Black Whale, pursuant to her prophecy. Neon’s fortunes predict up to a maximum of five weeks, so it would seem their eventual realization is purely coincidental. However, I believe the realization of Neon’s prophecies is in fact a product of her post-mortem Nen.
