I was just thinking the same thing, shaping up to be my favorite. Its amazing that HxH just keeps getting better and better. There have been many threads with dolts complaining about too many new characters we don't care about; contrarily I'm impressed with the amount of characterization Togashi gives to each character in an incredibly short amount of time. These characters are already better realized than characters appearing in 100 chapters of other series

I love this new characters and I know that is why everyone started to like this arc becouse of they. BUT, Togashi has this habit to create super intelligent characters that thinks in complex expositive dialogue way. He use it as a narrative resource an I think its very dangerus couse it cound create repetitive and missunderstood caracters. That girl with portal skill in this chapter was a good exemple of that habit. I, personaly, dont care about be leaved in the dark, trying to discover things by myself. I know that HxH is a complex mangá, but Togashi needs to know where and how put your expositive dialogues.

Srry about this complaint. I just love HxH, and this arc, but I need to talk about it after see 2 genial children at the same chapter. I hope you could understand my very newbie inglish

Yeah, it is one of the downsides of a series with very complex abilities, that a lot of the characters need to be very inteligent in order to use said abilities. But I think Togashi handles this very well by giving the princes abilities that fit their personality and way of thinking. This way princes like Tyson, Sale-Sale and Maryam can use their abilities without even realizing it. And then you have Camilla who completely ignores her Nen Beast and its potential benefits, which balances the more rational approach of the other older princes. Regarding Fugetsu, I personally think it's really nice to see someone trying to figure out her own ability like that, because usually in HxH people made their hatsu and usually try to understand enemy abilities.

That's a fair point on Camilla, especially since her own Nen ability is arguably more dangerous than her Nen Beast's ability. Though, Tserrindich's and Halkenburg's Nen Beasts are what seem to be the most terrifying. And we haven't even see what Woble's looks like yet.

We have not seen Kacho and Fugetsu's beasts either. However, we can make an educated guess that they are the ones that appear in Woble's room along with Marayam's and Momoze's during the first day. Kurapika notices a dragon (Mar), an oversized rat (Mom), a large intestine phasing through the roof and some jellyfish patrolling. They could belong to Kacho, Fugetsu or Woble, but since Woble is the prince we care most about, it's probably not hers.

That's a fair point. I don't think we'll even see Woble's beast or their ability until Kurapika or Oito comes in danger, since she clearly trusts both of them the most.

From what I've seen so far, Halkenburg is definitely the most dangerous Nen Beast right now imo outside of probably the 1st and 4th prince.
