You're going to hate how well the troupe is written. Depending on whether you think the troupe is small or large, why do you think the spider Hisoka has is marked with a "4", and how do you think he got it if his goal is to hunt the troupe?

Why don’t you let them reach that conclusion by themselves?
One thing I can advise is to really understand Nen for a simple reason. TOGASHI LOVES to out in his show EVERYTHING he likes and strategy in battle is one of those. If you understand all he puts in (mostly for a "selfish authorial porpoise") the journey will be amazing cuz most of the things he adds in HxH, can be skipped but they give a totally new filter to the whole show. This fight was used as a clear example of how HxH will be. TOGASHI made it clear that he will sacrifice raw power and fancy move to give space to strategy and creativity. Mastro lost cuz his ability was basically shit since creating a double when you are weak doesn't change anything. He should have also worked with the basics of Ben and if he learnt to use Ben on his eyes he could figure out hisoka's game.

Lola saying "what?!" 4 times at the end of this episode was everything. Can't wait to see you react to the rest of this arc. Lots of excitement to come.

If you're interested in seeing again the Phantom Troupe's silhouette that you mentioned during the review, this is the image that was shown in a previous ep: https://wallpapers.com/images/hd/hunter-x-hunter-spider-phantom-troupe-silhouette-lunhapmp1cmvuc8c.jpg

And we finally break into the best arc imo love the troupe, they are villains but great characters
@Vivasvan
Buff Armin hasn't been introduced yet, so they're not theorizing on what is already there like reactors that hold incorrect information that's already been told. It's a future prediction and honestly it was just a 5 second very out there comment, not a big deal at all.
Being this dismissive THIS early on is unnecessary and disparaging for what was a light hearted fun guess that really had no impact on their overall discussion.
When he gets introduced it's quite obvious whether or not he's Kurta, post it then if they remain insistent but they're usually very balanced with holding theories in their heads knowing how easily it can be wrong, especially wacky ones like story-twist family ties.
Also I'm sure an anime has never had characters confirm people to be dead only to reveal that one of the bad guys is actually the thought-to-be-dead family member now evil seeking revenge... >_>
Anyways HxH fans still insist theorizing about family ties between a certain Mr F Portor and Nanika's family even though there's nothing in the manga to confirm or deny that (I havent read recent chapters) as well as other fun theories... it's part of being a fan of a story, people theorize silly things. Reaction commenters just seem to struggle to grasp the difference between information that is already known in the show so far and information deduced only after watching the entire show and every video essay about each characters motivation and personality.

I always like healing abilities, so I really like the pink haired girl too. It shows that Nen isn’t just for fighting/destruction too

Yeah true, I think it’s just because there’s exciting things coming up yeno, but you’re right we shouldn’t be giving them clues or have them anticipating episodes/characters to come. It’s more fun just enjoying the ride

I love how excited they got for such a small announcement of the Phantom Troupe. They are in for a treat in the next arc

I have observed instances where reactors make assumptions and stubbornly cling to their theories, despite the lack of evidence. While theories and speculations can be entertaining in 95% cases, it becomes unpleasant to witness when the reactor fixates on an idea and wholeheartedly believes it to be true. They then construct elaborate theories based on this misguided assumption.
For instance, I once watched a reaction channel discussing Vinland Season 2. Throughout three episodes, the reactor firmly believed that the season started in Vinland(present day north American continent). They continuously theorized, predicted, and speculated based on this assumption. However, the reality was quite different. The main characters were actually working on a simple farm in Denmark, not in Vinland.
In such situations, it can be frustrating at extreme end and mildly annoying to see someone invest so much energy and enthusiasm into a theory that ultimately turns out to be incorrect.
Plus OP comment did not give anything new. Kurapika has himself said that his clan was wiped out. No one remains. The comment only brought this info again to front.

I dont think it's better at all. It's fun to watch them speculate and throw theories out there, then watch their responses when their theories turn out to be either true/false. i really dont see what ppl get out of clarifying information for them instead of waiting for the show to do it.

@Anto
Man you have very wide definition of spoiler. For me a spoiler is information about book, plot, show that may spoil 'suspense or surprise'. Operative word here are suspense or surprise. Original comment is not a spoiler in my book. Certain assumptions can lead to very absurd conclusion and theories so sometimes it is better to keep the reactors on track.

Wow, what's happening lately with these reactions, people are just talking about future things like it's nothing. There aren't big spoilers or anything but come on, let's try to stay focused on these episodes.

These are spoilers. Please don't spoil anything. And yes, even correcting on things they don't know about yet are spoilers.

I mean, it's clearly not Kurapika. Like the show is literally depicting that character as separate from Kurapika

I googled Gon killua white shirt and went to images. From description of lola Methinks this is the one. It has closest resemblance.

The best part about getting lengthy explanations like this one now is so that we can get a great idea of the kind of things Nen can do. Hisoka and the currently unnamed Phantom Troupe woman have such interesting and widely applicable abilities. Both are great examples of the possibilities of Nen.

Hisoka has a twin sister called Hersoka. She secretly masquerades as Wing. Gon's enhanced sense of smell and healing abilities are due to the fact that his biological mother is Wolverine.

The scene when Machi (the pink hair girl) talks about Hisoka personality is so underrated for me. When she says things like "He doesn't associate with others" and "He has no interest in the past", she means that Hisoka doesn't give a fuck about anything but fighting and winning, he doesn't attach to anyone. She's saying he's a chaotic psychopath, a joker who only cares about himself and his desires, because in his narcissistic way of seeing things, he's the best, the strongest. A perfect and accurate description of Hisoka.
SPOILER ALERT:
I personally like to think this scene is also a subtle way for the author to say that Hisoka's past is not interesting for the show, there's not a turning point when he becomes a joker, he's just like that and that's it, but that's just my opinion.
