@@Rotisiv not necessarily. The power level of the pt is balanced. Unlike other shows where the boss is on a whole other league then their members, chrollo is actually not really so much stronger then feitan for example. Everything about this anime is different and I love it

Even though Phantom Troupe is definitely evil (though they have their reasons) I can't really hate them. Same goes to Meruem (but at the end of the day, he wasn't even an actual villain). All of them have such complex and interesting personality, which makes me like them a lot. Meruem's way of thinking is something I really like, that's why he's one of my favorite characters. Phantom Troupe, despite being a band of evil thiefs/psychopaths, still treat each other as a family, despite their differences
I legit paused in this scene and kept staring at him trying to understand what the hell I'm looking at?? He has normal hair, and normal ears, and no scars, and is wearing regular clothing you would expect a regular functional citizen or something, he actually looks like a NPC what the hell, it's such a big contrast with the apparence he has in the actual series, it just feels weird, he looks like someone's neighbor
@@lonelyshpee7873people theorize that his mouth stitches was a restriction like his finger were cut off to make his machine gun ability stronger, but idk about the ears tho
I feel that Chrollo says what he says because, contrary to his words, the whole *creates* the individual that is Chrollo. ... and his Hatsu reflects that.
There are still a few pieces left to understanding the complete picture. -The contents of the note left with Sarasa. -Whether Chrollo was right, and the murderers recorded her death. -What Sheila was doing in the Lukso Providence, and her current status/fate. -How the Kurta Clan tie into any of it, if at all. These are the key to truly understanding the Troupe.
1. Giving Chrollo's reaction, it's likely the note not only detailed Sarasa's horrific death, but it dehumanized her to the point that future Chrollo no longer sees a difference between humans and puppets (quote from his fight with Hisoka). 2. Given the Troupe's initial purpose was to exact revenge for Sarasa and Meteor City as a whole, I imagine they succeeded in finding her murderers. In fact, Feitan's sadism and demeanor is likely a consequence of Sarasa dying, thus he himself tragically became a torturer too. In fact, *most of the original Troupe's abilities can be tied to the shared purpose of revenge* , quite like Kurapika himself. Going further, the Troupe must've become so hollow and desensitized to murder due to their plan to create a dark web snuff site to exact revenge. 3 and 4 are still unknowns that I'm really excited to see more about.
@@WardofSquid I was reading the latest chapters but it slipped by me that they wanted to create a snuff site. But it makes sense. Create one so they can find the people who killed Sarasa, and then kill them. It’s really messed up to think about a bunch of characters who would go that far to avenge one person and (I predict) only that person. Normal people wouldn’t do that. Normal real life human beings wouldn’t do that, but the Hunter x Hunter world is oddly comprised of people who are sort of..adjacent to morality. It’s really weird. Even Gon is odd in his morality and convictions, despite being the hero, and his age isn’t really an excuse.. In short, if the author wants to make it a point that the heroes and villains are kinda interchangeable, he’s on point, because to be honest the Phantom Troupe isn’t any more evil than a lot of other hunters. Genocide is bad, but with the exception of Leorio and Melody, Hunters seem to care so little of human suffering in general that pain and death that the crimes present in the series feel cheapened and not given the weight they should. Yes, Kurapika is angry about it, but one person’s anger isn’t really enough to give the crime its weight when it’s treated as a “whatever” alongside kidnapping, murder, extortion, torture, child endangerment, organ harvesting, cannibalism, assassination, mind control, theft, whatever the fuck Hisoka has going on.. I guess, compared to say, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and other shonen manga, crimes and villains are treated as BAD for doing what they do, and the heroes rarely if ever feel interchangeable (Sasuke and Uryu being clear exceptions). Maybe that’s the point, but I dunno..
Nobody's gonna talk about of how distinct from our perception of the Phantom Troupe everything has gotten revealed in the latest chapters. The phantom troupe turned out to be a somewhat Anti-Hero fashioned organization having a good goal (revenge) with cruel methods to accomplish it. That contradicts to the previous assumptions (Chrollo seeks a meaning and personality/ he kills in order to possibly gain a purpose in life. Could go on...) ; basically we got a whole entire unexpected way of backstory which kind of tries to claim the Spider Members as innocent. I don't see why even such a cruel friend's death would turn their entire personalities, especially given the fact that they did not rage seeing the mutilated remains of their death friends. People forget, that no one in the Phantom Troupe actually got into a significantly character twisting state - they decided to become villains for revenge. I think there is alot more to it, specially given that Chrollo had a little dark side to him, besides his innocence, otherwise it would not make 100% sense.
Phantom Troupe before formed: handsome lads and pretty ladies Phantom Troupe years after formed: buddha reanimated, depression, curve nose, monke and Machi,Feitan.
nope Chrollo was 17 here, this is when he is back after 3 years. (so he and shalnark can be a dark web developer/study IT to lure criminals, lol) Before all of this when he was 14 it was Chrollo said: "I will live my life as a villain, blah blah blah" and then say "will you do this with me?" Uvo then said, "No you are the head, if you are the head. I will follow you till I die."
It would have been cool for Phinks to be one of the originals, that would have supported the theory in which Phinks and Feitan knew each other from childhood but sadly it doesn't seem so... And wow Fei didn't look as menacing as he is today lol.
とらすかSort Actually it's a theory that him and Shalnark are also from Meteor city but just weren't shown in the flashback. The reasoning is that when Pakunoda went to shoot them with her memories she said "enough (bullets) for the original members" and shot them as well.
Pshanko Exactly, that's another great argument. It could be that Phinks and Feitan grew up together in Meteor city but Phinks didn't join the Troupe until after Feitan, perhaps to stay with him (not in a R-ship way, more of a friendship way)
These 7 are the founding members of the Spider. *Chrollo, Uvogn, Pakunoda, Feitan, Machi, Franklin, and Nobunaga.* Shortly after this, *Phinks and Shalnark* joined. That's the ORIGINAL Meteor City Phantom Troupe. 4 more members joined along the way down the line but they didn't hail from their hometown-Kortopi, Bonolenov, and 2 originally unnamed members who used to occupy numbers 4 and 8. Hisoka killed #4 and replaced him in the group. #8 was assassinated (by Silva) and the vacated position was eventually filled by Shizuku.
Jujing bay the fact that chrollo is my all time favorite character and that I have the biggest fictional cruise on him and that I really dislike light's character and just him generally as a fictional character I would disagree about comparing the two but that is just my opinion and please I find chrollo fare more attractive than light but that is just my opinion
It feels so bizarre seeing the original troupe members when their all ten years younger nobunaga, Franklin, uvogin, feitan, pakunota, and machi Damn they all look fresh 🤯
Even if I had no powers, and it would make me a criminal, I would like to join the Spider clan. You can feel how sincere and ambitious Chrollo is in his character, and to me there's no better leader than that.
Booty Bandit Don't speak for someone else. You don't know them, you should be far less cocky because one day someone might threaten to hurt you and you'll go "no you won't" and find a knife in you.

I love Chrollo's dub voice......it sounds so majestic......it makes it apparent that the dude is a special kind of badass. Can't say the dub is better for rest of the anime tho
It’s not better but it’s bearable, you can watch the whole anime in dub and it’ll be almost the same experience as the sun albeit having a little more of an annoying narrator
@AlHasan Sameh English dub I prefer too. Majority of the people who prefer japanese dub don't even understand what they are saying anyway lol but that's fine cuz you don't need to understand the language to feel the emotions being portrayed.
@AlHasan Sameh then you disagree with the entire weeb fandom lol. Ever heard of the saying "I don't understand what he/she's saying but I can feel the emotion"
@AlHasan Sameh I do get what you're saying too. Japanese is the 5th language I learned(4th if you don't count native language) It's not what they are saying, but it's how they are said. Acting is the key to the emotions in these shows. Doesn't matter what language. Look at Hunter x hunter scene "FOR THE KING" the dub did it 9999x better. Ppl say the English version of that scene sucked cuz it was over exaggerated but that's legit his character as it goes on. It's like a Shakespeare scene. Although majority of English dubs they put no effort and sound so dull and soulless so by default the Japanese dub for anime wins by the fans.
If chrollo made the spiders at this age then we can say in the flashback he at least 12 but In this he looks 17-18. Which make me think how old was chrollo when he fought Silva ? and if all this is going to tie together The Kurta clan elder did something wrong and sheila has something to do with it no way she’s the one who just discovered the massacre by coincidence
@@fatstackzthagreat9934 Chrollo was 16 when he formed the troupe, in York New Arc he was 26. We know that Shizuku joined the Phantom Troupe 3 years before the events in York New. So, Chrollo must have been 23 when he fought with Silva, since Shizuku joins as number 8 after the original number 8 (most possibly Sheila) was k1lled by Silva.
Feitan still adorable and got that bored as hell look on his face xD, he doesn't look like a nerd. And also for some reason, he's giving me Fire Nation vibes with that outfit. Crazy to think he's 28 years old 😱😱

chrollo was 21 when the kurta clan was killed so the age of when the troupe was formed is unknown i just want to answer the question that people might be wondering even looking it up it will come to the same answer so the age of when they were formed is unclear but he was 21 when him and the rest of the troupe killed the kurta clan
I think Chrollo was 15 or 16, I don't see Shizuku there because that means she would of been 12 when the Kurta massacre happened since she's Kurapika's age
@@dj-um7el Yeah would be cool to see😍 Both my favs characters from Togashi's stories🖤. In fact, i think there is a short animation here in UA-cam where they fight. PD: I really don't remember why I wrote that previous answer in this main thread 😂😂. It's been 3 years hahaha😅😂
Watching the anime: these guys are evil!! After reading chap 396: Poor these kids! They just want to be voice actors but life make them become Mass murderers
They choose to become mass murderers. No trauma they experienced makes their massacre of the Kurta right. Just as no trauma that Sarasa's killers may have experienced will justify thier actions.
The only thing we know is that he is likely a hunter since he has a hunter license...unless he stole it but it was said a stolen license will never have the benefits outside the original owner
Zeno You can't really steal a Hunters license as its more a designation. You could disguise yourself as that Hunter or in the case of shalnark, use your nen to control the Hunter and therefore the license
Base on Pako last moments it likely Shalnark was found early on to. Meaning he was a original or found by one of the members early. There also a chance he took the Hunter exam in his free time. The spider are only together for a small time usually, and base on what I got from Machi first exchange with Hisoka in Heaven Arena, she said that it only require tp meet the spiders for a heist only when Chrollo say so. It posible that Shalnark just spent around a month at most to get a lincense.
Shalnark and Phinx were not the original Troupe. The original ones that were from Meteor City are Chrollo, Uvo, Feitan, Norunbunga, Machi, Pakunoda, and Franklin
My guess is while Phinks and Shalnark weren't apart of the founding of the spiders, they were still apart of the first 13 so they are still among the oldest.
THIS SHOWS HOW PAKU LOYAL IS TO CHROLLO EVEN THO SHE OBEY WHAT CHROLLO SAID SHE STILL THINK THAT A LEADER ALWAYS A LEADER SHE DIDN'T HESITATE TO SACRIFICE HER SELF JUST TO GET HIM BACK TO THE TROUPE MEMBERS AND YOU CAN TELL HOW PAKU REALLY FOLLOE THE RULES ONCE SHE OBEY THAT RULES SHE DIDN'T HESITATE TO KILL HERSELF BECAUSE SHE KNOW WHAT MISTAKES SHE DID.
Dude, just reading the new chapters TOGASHI really dropped a bomb in the Troupe's backstory. To think that they used to be good kids, until one of their friends have been abducted by the human traffickers. To think that these criminals are just the product of bad society. I just think that the kruta clan of Kurapika is responsible for the abduction of their friend. hence, Chrollo and the troupe just got revenge by commiting mass murder in the entire clan of Kruta. We can now see the other side of the story. Considering togashi, I think he will kill a bunch of troupe members in the recent arc. There are numerous factors we need to consider, first is the Succession war with Kurapika as the center that is currently happening, second is Heil-ly family, Morena Prudo making a bunch of nen users. And lastly "Hisoka's nen after Death" He was now more powerful than before to think that his bungee gum didn't break againts Razorr's most powerful attack.. And now he was more powerful than that, he will give the troupe a run for its money. Truly Togashi's writing is truly unpredictable fantasic.

@AlHasan Sameh I do get what you're saying too. Japanese is the 5th language I learned(4th if you don't count native language) It's not what they are saying, but it's how they are said. Acting is the key to the emotions in these shows. Doesn't matter what language. Look at Hunter x hunter scene "FOR THE KING" the dub did it 9999x better. Ppl say the English version of that scene sucked cuz it was over exaggerated but that's legit his character as it goes on. It's like a Shakespeare scene. Although majority of English dubs they put no effort and sound so dull and soulless so by default the Japanese dub for anime wins by the fans.
And the Manga returns to this
The fact we mangareaders now know what happened before this🥲
Yes sir
Yep, I came to this scene after reading the manga
Yes
Ong it do
Aye I didn't know Chrollo was in a boy band i'm sorry I can't tell a joke
nightmare Halloween
It's ok. I think it's a good joke👍
Alexis M thanks
#1 rule for being funny, never be insecure about your jokes.
Unless that's part of the joke.
Matheus Cruz oh thank you

True
who else would watch an entire spinoff series dedicated to the early years of the phantom troupe
Meeeeee
God the most recent chapter changes my whole perspective on this.
who else here came back here after chapter 397?
Pakunoda and Chrollo look like professional spies 🤩☺️💜🖤
I can't believe this guys were responsible for genocide of kurta clan
Chrollo literally went from Business Degree Student / Corporate Salaryman to an Anti-Christ Priest.
Well well who's come here after read chapter 395😆
If chrollo made the spiders at this age then we can say in the flashback he at least 12 but In this he looks 17-18. Which make me think how old was chrollo when he fought Silva ? and if all this is going to tie together
The Kurta clan elder did something wrong and sheila has something to do with it no way she’s the one who just discovered the massacre by coincidence
@@fatstackzthagreat9934 Chrollo was 16 when he formed the troupe, in York New Arc he was 26.
We know that Shizuku joined the Phantom Troupe 3 years before the events in York New.
So, Chrollo must have been 23 when he fought with Silva, since Shizuku joins as number 8 after the original number 8 (most possibly Sheila) was k1lled by Silva.
@@fatstackzthagreat9934 I have this feeling that he summoned them all back to meteor city for it.
Dayum look at pakunoda
Chanter 1 big boobs pakunoda
How did her nose change so much that's why she looked different
Feitan still adorable and got that bored as hell look on his face xD, he doesn't look like a nerd. And also for some reason, he's giving me Fire Nation vibes with that outfit.
Crazy to think he's 28 years old 😱😱
who else thinks the afro looks badass on him, instead of his spiky hair
Atilla Vilkrins um ok?
@Atilla Vilkrins the fuck bro? If your dad was dead and someone liked his haircut would you say "IT dOeSn'T mAtTeR hE'S DeAd"?
@@JustLunarr probably
@Atilla Vilkrins who kill him anyway
@@gamerhitman123 Kurapika
The algorithm is making sense right now.
Chrollo is very charismatic!!
Togashi brought this back in 397
And he added Shalnark in lol
GEEZ
I REALLY LIKE CHOROLLO AND SHALNARK BUT FEITAN IS REALLY MY FAVORITE😂💞
I like the symbolism of them standing on a broken stage.
References one of the last manga chapters
Shit man, spiders still has so many mystery and now the story in hiatus
I would love to see an anime based solely on phantom Troupe and hisoka
ngl i'm digging feitan's nerdy look
and he still had the drip in old days 😎😍
@@flipnotesarenostalgic9553
Feitan's goated!
Turns out Shalnark was a founding member, he was just blocked out by a speech bubble in the manga lol
I thought he always was when paku died she shot him with the other founding members
@@venusfoo9667 at the time I thought Shalnark was just picked to fill the 6 bullets needed lol as he was the smartest member out of the presumed non-founding
Are we going to ignore the fact that Uvogin had a whole Afro😭😭😭
Chrollo: *Talking about the head and the legs of a spider*
Half of the Troupe: *silently understands*
Me: What kind of fooking language have you been speaking?!
The dub is top tier idgaf
lolno
Are you on crack? The H x H dub is among the worst dubs, like ever.
@@yesterdaystomorrow5510 Your hella tweaking the Dub went crazy and thats fax
@@yesterdaystomorrow5510 stop trying to fit in. The dub is good
Fleeting Colors are you high? Have you heard the one piece dub?
Yo this is the scene we’re getting right now! The foreshadowing 💔💔💔
Uvogin with the afro is so drippy🥶 🚫🧢
chrollo was 21 when the kurta clan was killed so the age of when the troupe was formed is unknown i just want to answer the question that people might be wondering even looking it up it will come to the same answer so the age of when they were formed is unclear but he was 21 when him and the rest of the troupe killed the kurta clan
I think Chrollo was 15 or 16, I don't see Shizuku there because that means she would of been 12 when the Kurta massacre happened since she's Kurapika's age

YESSSS YOUNG, FETUS FEITAN-
lOVE THE STYLE AND HAIRCUT 💀
HE GOT THE DRIP

Let's be real here...pretty much every HXH character has drip.
Imagine being 16 and already starting a notorious group.

W pic!
Imagine Hiei VS. Feitan!
@@dj-um7el Yeah would be cool to see😍 Both my favs characters from Togashi's stories🖤.
In fact, i think there is a short animation here in UA-cam where they fight.
PD: I really don't remember why I wrote that previous answer in this main thread 😂😂. It's been 3 years hahaha😅😂
@@abrilallende5084
Lol
But yeah, Togashi is maybe my all time favorite creator!
@@dj-um7el Mine too 🖤
My mom after watching this:
Chrollo created a cult at the age of 16, what are you doing with your life?
The Latest HunterxHuntet manga brought me here. The Sad past of the Phantom Troupe 😭
What Chrollo doesn’t know is that a decade later he would find out that bungee gum contains the properties of rubber and gum
Bruh Feitan looks so adorable🥰
The latest chap made this scene more memorable
Naw this hits different
Chrollo lookin lile saitama before he went bald 😂
If I may say something...*Clears Throat*
"Uvo Afro"
That is all.
Watching the anime: these guys are evil!!
After reading chap 396: Poor these kids! They just want to be voice actors but life make them become Mass murderers
They choose to become mass murderers. No trauma they experienced makes their massacre of the Kurta right. Just as no trauma that Sarasa's killers may have experienced will justify thier actions.
chrollo's art style is so different from everyone else in hxh its like he came from a different manga.
He didn't get accepted into Ouran Highschool.
@@TH0bbs yeah so he changed his whole aesthetic to fit hxh lmao
It's light Yagami clearly
@@TH0bbs
Lol
But he was out beforehand, but yeah.
Gonna be honest, almost every HXH character has a different design and I love that about them.
He looks like Light Yagami
I feel this will blow up again!
Am I the only one tryna figure out what Shalnark's story is and how he joined the phantom troupe?
The only thing we know is that he is likely a hunter since he has a hunter license...unless he stole it but it was said a stolen license will never have the benefits outside the original owner
Zeno You can't really steal a Hunters license as its more a designation. You could disguise yourself as that Hunter or in the case of shalnark, use your nen to control the Hunter and therefore the license
Base on Pako last moments it likely Shalnark was found early on to. Meaning he was a original or found by one of the members early. There also a chance he took the Hunter exam in his free time. The spider are only together for a small time usually, and base on what I got from Machi first exchange with Hisoka in Heaven Arena, she said that it only require tp meet the spiders for a heist only when Chrollo say so. It posible that Shalnark just spent around a month at most to get a lincense.
Thomas Matthew Kelley
This is what I was thinking as well!
Bro they fr had a glow up
I swear their old selves look so freaking vanilla.
CHROLLO BEST BOI
Feiton looks like he has his life together lmao
young Pakunoda looks so cute lmao
I could've sworn Shalnark was apart of the original 6 but like as a kid or something. I'm probably going crazy or have just seen too much fanart.
Uvo dead and Paku was shooting so she picked the next two.
Brandon Austin Chandler No Phinks and Shal definitely were part of the troupe at the beginning
Zurajanai Katsurada But these six were before them since neither were in the flashback.
Shalnark and Phinx were not the original Troupe. The original ones that were from Meteor City are Chrollo, Uvo, Feitan, Norunbunga, Machi, Pakunoda, and Franklin
My guess is while Phinks and Shalnark weren't apart of the founding of the spiders, they were still apart of the first 13 so they are still among the oldest.
it him making a cult at 16 with the light yagami haircut for me
THIS SHOWS HOW PAKU LOYAL IS TO CHROLLO EVEN THO SHE OBEY WHAT CHROLLO SAID SHE STILL THINK THAT A LEADER ALWAYS A LEADER SHE DIDN'T HESITATE TO SACRIFICE HER SELF JUST TO GET HIM BACK TO THE TROUPE MEMBERS AND YOU CAN TELL HOW PAKU REALLY FOLLOE THE RULES ONCE SHE OBEY THAT RULES SHE DIDN'T HESITATE TO KILL HERSELF BECAUSE SHE KNOW WHAT MISTAKES SHE DID.
Dude, just reading the new chapters TOGASHI really dropped a bomb in the Troupe's backstory. To think that they used to be good kids, until one of their friends have been abducted by the human traffickers. To think that these criminals are just the product of bad society. I just think that the kruta clan of Kurapika is responsible for the abduction of their friend. hence, Chrollo and the troupe just got revenge by commiting mass murder in the entire clan of Kruta. We can now see the other side of the story. Considering togashi, I think he will kill a bunch of troupe members in the recent arc. There are numerous factors we need to consider, first is the Succession war with Kurapika as the center that is currently happening, second is Heil-ly family, Morena Prudo making a bunch of nen users. And lastly "Hisoka's nen after Death" He was now more powerful than before to think that his bungee gum didn't break againts Razorr's most powerful attack.. And now he was more powerful than that, he will give the troupe a run for its money. Truly Togashi's writing is truly unpredictable fantasic.
it's actually confirmed that kurta clan is part of their friend's death?
Bro, spoiler alert!!! I almost read it. I'm gonna go read the manga. Sounds interesting though.
Damn he looks so handsome 🙄
Machi looks tall lmao
MACHI LOOKS SO HOT BRB IM RUNNING LAPS 🏃🏼♀️💨
He knew that bungee gum possess both properties
Lol yes, especially when Hisoka possibly gets to him in the manga.
as of chapter 397 of HUNTER X HUNTER we get to see how the PHANTOM TROUPE WAS made WOW just wow
can't believe we're here
Now knowing chrollos backstory, the spiders are incredibly tragic villains
i swear to god feitan looks like yoon bum after he got a haircut 😳
bruh, his speech give me goosebumps
They want to avenge Sarasa.
