I know he's a nen prodigy, this chapter like various previous ones shows as much, but the idea of throwing Hisoka at Tserri on his first full day of practical application of his ability is so funny. Gon got a somewhat similar deal but at least in Heaven's Arena he had rules protecting him lol

especially scary that an encounter like that might get Hisoka more excited about fighting again, I'm worried for whatever Spider finds him first if things do pan out this way

Honestly, im not sure i understand how his power works.

There are several compontents:

The 10 second time window in which he can move but not interact much and people cannot see the real him.
The fake version of himself that others can see and interact
The rewind aspect? or is this just releasing time, this is the most confusing aspect i think.
The distance limit 35 meters or so, people outside can see the real him and are not affected if they enter after it activates.
The energy cost, payed in pre stored nen (?) that his nen beast consumes to make the ability happen.
He feels a buzzing sensation when he aproaches the outer limit of the Area of Effect.
Also he can control when to release or cancel this power by ending his state of zetsu.

Am i missing something else?

The confusing part is the time and rewind thing and how it meshes with the rest of the ability.

this is indeed confusing. i suggest reread the chapter when togashi shown the picture of how his ability working. correct me if i am wrong too. there is no rewind time. there is only two state he was in when he released this power. the ephemeral time (the future seeking time) and the illusion cast time (it's after the ephemaral time 10 second already shown). he can do both in parallel after he was shown the future. after he was shown the future, he need to do action to change the future of the things he touched (this is how he can write his will without releasing the zetsu). he can't change the future of living things directly. he needs to show his next action to people he cast illusion to make the changes. (this is why he need to chose to break his zetsu to make him appear after he opened the door. well there is distance limit he calculate it with too)

i still don't get clearly how the people outside the circle will react about the people inside the illusion circle. but i guess it's just a matter of information difference that they will have a conflict about. after all, what he actually did is only two, looking the 10 second of future and casting illusion to change the future he was seen

The funniest part about his ability is that it is actually kind of like the infamous King Crimson.

The way I understood it is thus:
  • When he closes his eyes, he gets an instantaneous vision of the next ten seconds. He can use his own actions before that activation to influence what happens, such as he did when he told the guy to get a bottle of water, which means those ten seconds show him a vision of how the guy is going to get water, but he can't influence events directly.

  • When he activates his ability, those ten seconds from his vision, and everything that comes after will play out as if those ten seconds had happened, for as long as he maintains zetsu. Those events are partially illusory where they relate to the prince himself. There is his "Ten Seconds"-self, and his real self. His Ten Seconds-self will run on autopilot, and for everyone affected by his ability, that self will be the real one. From what it looks like, the Ten Seconds-self will act like the real prince in every way that matters, and is completely indistinguishable from the outsideThe real self is free to do whatever while in zetsu, but he can't affect anyone else directly. He basically enters spectator mode while the ability is active

  • Only people within the area of effect at the time of activation are affected, the origin point of the effect's radius is determined when he activates the ability

  • When he releases zetsu, reality catches up with the illusion, any events that were purely part of the illusion never actually happened, so they're undone when the illusion releases, and his Ten Seconds-self disappears

  • He can maintain the illusion for as long as his stored nen lasts, provided he doesn't leave the area

So here he started a shootout by shooting a couple guys, then activated his ten second premonition, to get an idea of how the shootout would proceed from there, and worked around that.
