Interesting.

Khrollo's ability perfectly embodies his ideology as a "thief", I never considered the possibility that his skill can evolve as he steals things, but it makes perfect sense.

I was gonna say that it is because he is a "specialist" but I think any nen ability could do that with the right conditions.

That ability he is using for searching is scary in a funny way, the implications of the intentions behind the original creator of that shows that she may have been a very vain person and that depending... she could be a yandere too.

If Khrollo knows about these treasures, chances are the Zodiac knows about them too, I doubt any run-of-the-mill nen user would be privy to that info, but for the people truly in the know... which means we just discovered Beyond true intention.

He wants those treasures too, nen objects of power of that magnitude aren't something you will find just sitting around in any place, the succession war may be only one of the many things it is possible to do with them, a ritual of the size of this war is actually weak sauce if they were used with more powerful and knowledgeable people in the helm.

No, he is alive, he appeared in this chapter.

Are you in doubt because the clam turned back? If yes, don't worry, he said the transformation was temporary, I think he said it took 1-2 hours or so, can't remember now.

Yes. Still doubting it tho. Because hinrigh in this chapter is suspicious. Hinright is the last people who met fake hisoka after all. And hinrigh's mafia ethics is like the mafia that guiding phinks now. Only the spiders who have the mindset to purposely spreading chaos. Bonolenov (as a fake hinrigh) purposely instigating chaos (an all out mafia battle).

But yeah, hinrigh can still be alive because bonolenov doesn't need to kill who he imitate after all

Bono is the first tier now.

I think it would be too convoluted for him to have returned and turned into Hirigh, and... by the explanation of his metamorphosis ability, he stayed beside Hinrigh for too little time to turn into him reliably.

When he turned into the blood guy and the other girl it was for just a few minutes, enough time to deceive the two, but not enough to entirely occupy their places.

Bono is chilling now, the last thing he wants is to alert Hisoka, but he left too big a trail, so now he will more or less focus on just keeping tabs on Hisoka and wait for Khrollo's plan.

Hmm.. i knew bono is currently in 1st tier when he saw hisoka in casino. But i think this hinrigh scene is a flashback prior to that so he can just go to 1st tier after this chapter (maybe my memory is just wrong). But I disagree with his limit is few minutes. While he could probably sense hinrigh before meeting him in bioskop, it's too risky for him to appear as hisoka at that time when talking with hinrigh.

@alacaelum. You are right about this is is the real hinrigh. I've already ready again chapter 393 and bono's limit. There is no way bono can imitate hinrigh that long considering he only met hinrigh for a couple of minutes

Bonolenov only followed Chrollo's instructions, which is to get to Tier 1 by pretending to be Hisoka and wait for him there. Hisoka is already on Tier 1 though so Bonolenov transformed into someone else -- there's no point on staying behind on the lower tiers and transforming into Hinrigh. and as you mentioned, the time limit is how long Bonolenov has spent with the person. the oyster ran out of nen and reverted back to a transmitter. on that note, i wonder if you can figure out Bonolenov's transformation with gyo...

but also here's the point where Bonolenov lacks insight: killing a mafia member would've turned them against the troupe -- he just didn't think thru that his transformation would've been seen through.

now... i think it's kinda silly if the three regalias are so powerful that they can enforce rules for the succession war (e.g. giving birth to nen beasts, cause instant death for princes who retreat from the battlefield), that they don't have any sort of safeguards in place for thievery. surely Chrollo can't be thinking that there's only physical security measures and no nen security measures...

Nah, he must have accounted for that.

Considering he already had plans to steal these treasures before he must have a few ideas on how to deal with such measures, but at this point, he is focused on Hisoka.

Really good chapter. Was very impressed by the detail of his art. I remember the previous time it went on hiatus there were reports that it was going to a monthly publication cycle and yet here it is being released weekly. I know these chapters began being worked on months ago probably, but I wasn't expecting the art to be so detailed for a weekly publication given his back issues.

Also, liked how much thought these characters put into everything. Lynch's death probably should have been an open and shut case with Heil-Ly screwing around and yet Hinrigh and Zakuro uncover a conspiracy with a shapeshifter (Bonolenov) running around.
