Who do you mean by "he" here?
I've seen people that think Kurapika is only good against the Spiders. He can use all his chains except Chain Jail against non-Spiders and has 100% efficiency in all nen categories with Emperor Time, he's pretty damn strong for someone that hasn't been using nen for very long. I'm looking forward to seeing his master in action too, he seems to know his stuff.

I'm pretty sure the princes are being dropped off at the first stop, so the whole thing would need to be settled by then. Keep in mind, we're only two hours into the first leg anyway.
Cue the Gilligan's Island theme song.
The prince who doesn't want to be part of it.

The only people stronger than their pupils are Bisky and Killua's parents, granted we have no idea what type of Nen his mother is packing.
Regarding the last page.
The image of Harkenberg there with the massive eagleYeti on his shoulders to me doesn't suggest the psyche of someone "backing out" it looks more like it's perched,
waiting to strike at any moments. In otherwords, I don't think he actually wants to back out at all and is bluffing/scheming.
The king's face is pretty interesting too, The shot there from his perspective kind of suggests he can see Nen yeah?

Maybe the nen beasts will kill anyone who attempts to back out.

I don't think he has 100% efficiency with all nen,just 100% of the efficiency he is able to have with any given type of nen. So like kurapika's maximum efficiency with transmutation nen is capped at 80%. I don't think emperor time increases the cap to 100%, it lets him use all 80% without having to training it up to that point
It's still op though
Yeah I think he can see it
In RPG terms Kurapika has the ability to constantly relocate his stat points while using Emperor Time to whatever "stat tree" he wants.

So he can be Havel the Rock and the Bloody Crow at will?

I was not under the impression that this is how it works, I still think he's limited by the nen hexagon thing like I said
That's actually what I was implying. He is never 100 percent with all six classes of Nen user but can shift his current strength about the Hexagon as he pleases so if he's an 80 out of 100 in Conjuring he can shift those 80 points to Enhancer when he needs.

Oh damn
Halkenburg was the one who wanted to get his younger siblings out of the battle, right? Him being taken out early means there's no way any of that is going to be smooth in any way
Also I kind of like Bill. He looks like some basic character that'll be nen-beast fodder down the road, but I hope he sticks around as Kurapika's partner for awhile.
I wonder where Melody is. Her and Kurapika seemed to be sticking together, kinda sad she's not around.
Kurapika called her in either this chapter or the previous one. She's a bodyguard somewhere else.

Yes both her and Biskie are still alive.
Bill is probably the next Squala. Most useless power yet he'll outlive several stronger people.
In RPG terms: if you're a Level 10 Conjurer with 100 "nen points", the nen wheel would restrict you to using Level 4 Enhancer powers, but also restrict you to only be able to allocate 40 points to your Enhancer nen. Whereas a Level 4 Enhancer would be able to allocate all their points to Enhancer nen; a Level 10 Conjurer would still be worse at Enhancer powers than a Level 4 Enhancer would be.
With Emperor Time, a Level 10 Kurapika is still restricted to Level 4 Enhancer powers, but he can allocate all 100 of his nen points to Enhancer powers, meaning he's directly equivalent to a Level 4 Enhancer at using Enhancer nen.

Halkenburg was actually the one that Queen Oito was planning to blackmail in the event that he became the next King, or at least that's what I gathered from what she said in Chapter 350. Halkenburg himself doesn't really care about any of his other siblings, with the exception of Tserriednich which is why Kurapika wanted to become Halkenburg's bodyguard. But yes, if Halkenburg is taken out then Oito's blackmail plan would be moot, although at this point I don't think things are going even as remotely as she planned.
I hope that Bill sticks around for awhile too, both because it's already hard enough to guard a prince with 2 people but also because it'd make Kurapika all lonely if he died.

lol, most likely yeah
Oh right! I nearly forgot there were so many other returning characters on that boat trip.
Maybe we'll finally see what kind of crazy ninja Nen Hanzo can fling around too

I feel like the way I explain it in my head is less complicated, but yeah this is how it works lol
Thats a good way to explain it
I imagine the nen stealing ability has the same problem with Chrollo's in that he can't do it in the middle of battle but he could ambush
wonder if at one point kurapika is going to borrow a spiders ability. machi's ability might be a good one if somebody is horribly injured at one point in the trip. oh yeah kurapika is probably going to die in this trip. he just revealed his last ability and the spiders might also get taken care of in this trip as well. i suspect a few of them will survive the trip to make it the dark continent but will be finished off there by either hisoka or somebody else or maybe a calamity.

Whoops Feitan got his hand caught in the door and activated Pain Packer and now the ship has sunk.
Except Kurapika because he has another hidden chain
He has a secret Nen ability that allows him to grow extra fingers indefinitely
You forgot about the chain on his cock

I mean he still does have his left hand and all of it's fingers unused for his nen.

Only Leorio knows about this chain.

But in the 'canon' anime ships, I see that Kura is a tad more female or feminine
If this mean we can reguarly get a volume every year, i can live with that.
It's better than no chapters a year
Yeah but i don't see him using his right hand anytime soon that will be too much especially since his newest chain has been foreshadowed since the Yorknew arc so i think we have seen all the chains
I heard theories that she/he (forgot the gender) could be ai the gas-like beings calamities and was a result of the zoldyck that survived the DC
Alluka/Naniko is gender fluid.
The back half of that is more or less solid, I think, as it's the only way to explain how Naniko got there. As to what Naniko is, I have a feeling it's going to be a whole thing.
I thought Alluka was transgender but Naniko would be gender fluid
Yeah, Alluka only uses female pronouns. Nanika may not even have a gender since it's probably not even human.
I don't think we ever get confirmation either way.

Nanika is an Ai, one of the five calamities. It was 100% confirmed in the volume release.
If that rule means that the Nen beasts can't attack the other hosts in addition to their own, that's fucking bananas. Everyone around them is meant to die while they use traditional means to kill eachother. The princes with actual competent soldiers (and maybe personal skill when it comes to Benjamin) have a huge advantage.
I wonder if the guards are telling the princes about the nen beast because they're scary or because Tserriednich's beast's ability forces them to.

Can you expand on this? Was it in an author comment or are we just going off the "ai" theory?
The way I thought of the restrictions on the Nen beasts was that, because they can't attack their host or other princes directly, they instead would be controlling and using the 200k other people on the boat to kill off their rivals. If you recall back a couple chapters, one of the bodyguards said that even if the succession war started, the princes wouldn't be given immunity for murdering each other.

I remember that and thought it was fucking crazy when they said it, given that kind of what they have been setting it up to be.
