I think keeping his limbs should be similar to constantly using Gyo, but using them to stand because his nen is actually rubber. Also if we go by the early rule that humans usually just excrete nen all the time, then its not that farfetched to think that Hisoka can keep his nen under control with his texture surprise and not actually lose it.

I don't think the Nen becoming stronger after death works like that. Hisoka isn't dead. It's Nen that remains lingering after it's users passing that becomes stronger. There's no reason to think Hisoka's Nen as a whole became stronger. There's also the fact that the Nen usually becomes stronger because of it's users negative emotions. Hisoka looked lke he was having a pretty good time when he died.

I saw it as both. Nen is heavily tied to will and condition. He set a condition for his nen and it worked after his death because of strong will.
I'm at least glad Togashi has set up nen after death on more than one occasion. It's an understood concept, at least to the characters. It kind of become a throw away when you so something like this but as long as we don't see someone dodge death again in this way I'm ok with it.
Probably

Saw the Raw -
It's set around the launch of the boat and a party happening on it. The princes are all there. Mostly dialog but it ends with what looks like something happening nen related to Woble
it's probably his nen beast guardian. i really do think the guardians are going to end up killing some people by surprise. wonder if any of the zodiacs or even a spider ends up getting caught killed by one.
Can already tell that these Spirit Beasts are going to be a problem. They were already stated to have their own will, and that they act autonomously. That aura looked malicious. This baby is about to have a evil ass guardian, that will probably cause a lot of chaos. Hell, all the Spirit Beasts are going to be causing chaos. This boat ride is going to be wild.

Shit is gonna get wrecked worse than Yorknew or the chimera ant arc.The trip was planned to be a bloodbath from the very beginning before even arriving to the dark continent.
This. Fucking. Manga.
The ship details, the mini-society that's being built in, the power games between the princes, Kurapika being a smart paranoid guy as always, the Nen beasts about to come out etc.
And on top of that Togashi is bringing his A-game in terms of drawings.
This is simply insane.
We're probably in for the best ride in shonen mangas history.

Perfect time for the hiatus.
I think its the sound of emanating nen. Not really sure though. I don't think nen has ever been illustrated like that

I suspect Togashi is going to use the concept of small babies being capable of detecting the mother's humor/stress, so that's why he depicted her as super worried and stressed, incapable of dealing with the life/death situation. That should give a reason for the nen beast to act.
So many people forgetting about the Nen beasts. I guess a Hiatus will do that!
You're spot on. I think in particular it is used for hostile intent with Nen.
Hostile Nen has been illustrated like that since its introduction though, and even used the same sound effect!

Looking at the ship designs and hearing what is already happening on the lower floors, this whole voyage already seems fucked and they haven't even left port yet. Also baby Woble nen beast seems like it'll put a massive wrench into most anything Kurapika is already planning to keep both the Queen and Prince safe.
God...two months on this boat, shit already going down and the actual real shit not actually hitting the fan till they reach DC? You a nen beast yourself Togashi.

What if they don't reach the Dark continent at all because of the internal struggles? Or what if the calamities actually save the day for the protagonists?

Oh shit
This chapter is really good
This chapter is really good
Ah, I see. Thanks. I couldn't remember nen looking like that before. Good to know for sure what was actually happening in that panel
All the shit occurring on the lower decks of the Black Whale is so much more than I expected. Almost reminds me of Battlestar Galactica. There is going to be a lot of social strife going on in the lower levels. I think there's going to be a lot blood spilled due to things like riots. Looks like the Kakin folks managing things don't really seem to give a fuck either. This is going to be blood bath on all levels.
Just read the official translation from last week, thought I'd compare a couple parts (official translation 2nd)
It's really too bad that Viz can't release first. Like with scanlation art, people can get bad misconceptions with unofficial work. I do appreciate the scanlators bringing it as quick as possible though, as well as in other series where there is no official way!
This one just for fun. "Stroke me all over" is such a Hisoka thing to say lmao
Very different connotations here. The unofficial definitely makes it sound like Hisoka is going to ambush his enemies, while the official seems to indicate he's just going to fight anybody he comes across.
Again, less assassination-revenge-y, which was a big complaint by a bunch of people last week since it didn't particularly fit his character.

I wouldn't rule him completely out but it's looking like he won't take part in any of this
With Togashi, anything is possible.
He'll get to DC eventually, just not right now.
Nen beasts not ringing a bell at all... yea I totally forgot whatever those are lol.
Those are quite different. Hm
This possibility bums me out. Gon/Killua are the soul of this series, though I am happy we're getting to see Kurapika and Hisoka again.
this non gon arc might be the longest arc this manga has ever had. it will have many parts to it so that means going years without seeing either killua or gon. hell this trip might take years so you might even have a significant time skip. it could be that this arc ends after ging and the others reach the dark continent and we get a big time skip. later on adult gon and killua end up going to the dark continent together and we finally see what it's like.
