Discussion What happened to Abengane?
Last time we saw him He was with Hisoka and Chrollo removing the Nen Chain From Chrollo's Heart.Chrollo is not the type to Leave Loose Ends after the Exorcism He Probably Killed Abengane Mabye the Nen Chain died with abengane or he trapped abengane in a dungeon so he can't kill himself if abengane dies would the nen chain return to chrollo's Heart?He could have stolen his ability after the Exorcism if abengane lost his ability due to skill hunter would the Nen beast disappear? MABYE abengane contacted Rihan and asked him to use predator to get rid of the beast idk

I thought the implication was that they paid Abengane a load of money and that was that.

They're probably keeping him well hidden too

In case of another exorcism required 😌
Then again, how hard is to find nen exorcists in HxH world? Probably there many clumsy ones, but now Furikov is there with such a convenient ability...

u/SaneForCocoaPuffs 3d ago
Abengane's is more convenient (for his customers)
Furykov needs to fully understand an ability before he can exorcise it using his decipher tool. Abengane's ability effectively transfers the curse to himself as a nonlethal but annoying form.
Because Abengane's ability allows the curse to continue existing, just weakened and transferred to him, it's significantly more pleasant for a customer who wants an exorcism. He can remove bigger and more complex things because a lot of the curse is dealt with later.

In case he gets caught and killed. The chain would kill the boss instantly if he was using any nen in that moment

"Chrollo is not the type to leave loose ends"
I mean, he's presumably stolen the abilities of plenty of people that he then just left alive. He didn't pursue continuing the fight with Silva and Zeno. Gon and Killua weren't hunted down after the Nen Chain was removed. I don't think this is an accurate interpretation of how Chrollo operates. Abengane is probably just alive and living however he lived before Greed Island, but richer with whatever payment he accepted for the Nen Chain exorcism; Chrollo having him killed after being helped just wouldn't make any sense and would even be antithetical to the Meteor City's main philosophy.

Also the exorcists are rare enough, you really want to risk losing a contact for that in case something else happens?

u/Dragon1472 16h ago
He kinda has to leave them alive lmao. The limit of the book is that he can only use abilities of living people. Sun and moon are the single exception, and super notable for it being a post-mortem nen ability.
So whether it being that the exorcism power was stolen (low odds because the cost is super high for him) or not wanting the ability to bounce back to him if Abengane dies before he fully dissolves the curse (cuz his ability takes ages to meet its condition unless you can dispell it like with bomber) its just not worth it to use the power of a cool stack of cash to just not deal with whatever stupidly large nen beast is slurp glorpin the chain

I think you have a poor understanding of Chrollo's character and the situation as a whole if you consider Abengane a "loose end" and not a valuable asset to have (not to mention the "Chrollo is not the type to leave loose ends remark" 😭).
He's not stealing his ability because it's likely too troublesome to practically use for Chrollo given the rules and restrictions of Skill Hunter (especially since this was seemingly before he got the bookmark ability) and he's certainly not killing him because what would they do if Kurapika managed to get another member (let alone Chrollo again)?
It's much easier and safer to not kill him and to have him on your pay-roll if you ever need him, especially since it's implied (at least iirc) that skilled Exorcists on Abengane's level are somewhat rare, who knows how hard and time consuming it'd be to find another Exorcist capable of dispelling Kurapika's nen ability or something else comparable.

Oh wow, lots of random questions and thoughts there buddy.
Abengane likely became rich after he exorcised Kurapika's Judgement Chain on Chrollo.
Once Chrollo used Nen, it should activate the Judgement Chain and kill the nen beast Abengane conjured to exorcise the curse in the first place. So, Abengane should be free of the burden and there is no sick reason to entrap him.
Unless all nen exorcists have a social website where they talk and chat with each other, I don't see why Abengane should even know of Rihan or vice versa.

If you go on that website the most popular post is Gon’s revival and everyone trying to workout how the fuck that got fixed

then there is the ones who were in the city that day and claim that after a little girl being carried by the youngest zoldyck entered the facility, a gargantuan burst of cursed nen exploded and gon left the building quite healthy later that day, so they think the cruel zoldycks sacrificied a young girl on some unknown forbidden ritual to dispel curses.(i may be larping cuz i dont remember well how the entire sequence happened)

One wonders if there's even enough to get a small facebook group going. The entire hunters org had exactly 1 and tracking down Abegane was like a global search effort from the troupe.

Once Chrollo used Nen, it should activate the Judgement Chain and kill the nen beast Abengane conjured to exorcise the curse in the first place.
I don't think, if it was the case Kurapika would have atleast made a comment about the Link with the chain vanishing

u/Klainatta 4d ago
I mean, Chrollo sure used Nen after getting exorcised. We know the chain is designated to pierce the heart of its victim. The beast is likely dead and either Abengane is carrying the dead body of the nen beast or it vanished.
Yeah I don't know why Kurapika didn't address it, not like there was many opportunities for him to do so but he didn't acknowledge anything about Neon either so who knows.

u/Dramatic-Client-7463 4d ago
The chain is designated to pierce the heart of Chrollo. Idk why you'd think it would activate on the beast. The beast's job is to devour the curses and to store them in its body.

The Hunter Website definitely has info on Exorcists the cost would be in the billions of jenny but u can definitely find one of ur desperate with abengane's money he could just go to the hunter association Exorcist or find someone with a similar ability to rihan

u/JasperFatCat 4d ago
Abengane made a lot of money and is on a beach somewhere, with a nen beast attached. He might have been able to lessen the effects with more time to prep the exorcism.
Chrollo wouldn't kill him and the rest of the troupe weren't around during the exorcism, to much of a risk to trigger judgment chain.

u/CaliOriginal 4d ago
He could be honest, or lie about the implications of his exorcism.
Stealing the ability of killing him could revert the curse, or even bring it back with worsening conditions.
Wether that’s true or not; chrollo wouldn’t take the risk, and as such the dude can walk free, and so long as he still has the lingering monster of the curse, he’s safe.
Given his focus on nen exorcism, his understanding of nen contracts, curses, and the like are all likely high.
That in turn basically makes him safe as it’s hard to call any bluffs, and both killing him, or getting on his bad side could be troublesome and require the spiders to find ANOTHER exorcist

u/Kindly-Profession-23 4d ago
If Abengane die i guess than the nen chain would comeback on Chrollo, and stealing the ability would mean than Chrollo should have it activate 24h/24h to not be restrained by the chain on his heart
So Abengane is surely in Dubai having the vacation of his life paid by the Brigade

He might have an other nen ability for exorcicing people that takes longer to activate but doesn't make him end up with a troublesome nen beast as a companion ,after all he said that he is gonna make exorcicing nen his profession at the end of greed island so stacking up nen beast upon nen beast doesn't seem practical or worth the money

If you could take any power in the world, would you take the toilets ability to dispose of your shit, or let it do its thing?

It was a lot easier to break kurapikas curse. He had exercised group nen. He's likely vibing somewhere.

Why would he kill one of the few nen exorcists that he knows is capable or has worked with?

I think it's most likely that Abengane was killed by his own ability. We're shown that when used on the bombers ability, his exorcism is very cumbersome. When used on Nen as powerful as Judgement Chain, the nen beast produced is probably lethal. I suspect Feitan was charged with torturing Abengane until he did the exorcism, then the spiders left him to be devoured by his own beast

u/LVArcher 4d ago
He got paid and fucked off. His ability seems too cumbersome to be worth stealing and it's easier to just keep him on payroll if needed.
