      I'm loving these theories.
      So Illumi is a talented and really kind person who does not like hurting others. His nen is stronger when he uses it for things he dislikes. Knowing his family is in a risky business, he manipulated himself to do whatever is necessary to protect the family, even things he would normally dislike. He became a very strong nen user who ultimately protects his family, but he sacrificed his free will to achieve this.

    What if, when Kalluto said he wanted to "get his brother back" by joining the Troupe, he meant NEITHER Alluka NOR Feitan... but Illumi? As in, the un-manipulated version of Illumi that he once was before manipulating himself. Removing such a self-imposed nen needle would likely require nen equally powerful. And as we know, Kalluto is also a manipulator, so maybe he was hoping to get strong enough to be able to do so himself.

      Dude i think you are onto something…
      I do wonder how loyal Kalluto is to the family, i mean if he was really loyal to the family he would have preferred illumi to stay manipulated so he still is the assassin that the family needs and wants. Maybe Kalluto wanting to bring back the real Illumi is just a signal that Kalluto is rebelling. Maybe Nanika is the catalyst that will end the legacy of the Zoldyck family as they all break free from this sense of responsibility one by one…
      going back to the theory that Nanika is Ai, a calamity sent back with Zig Zoldyck to curse the Zoldyck family because he dared to go to the dark continent, this curse could potentially be behind separating the family and the downfall of the Zoldycks.

    I personally subscribe to the idea that illumi’s personality was molded into what it is today due to the intense childhood that came from being the firstborn to 2 ruthless assassin parents. Not to mention that being the firstborn with no siblings to look too in such a traumatizing situation would definitely shape those more intense aspects of his personality. The intense lust for complete control of nanika’s power definitely checks out, and makes me think there might also be some resentment, considering that killua being named the heir to the family even though illumi was the firstborn means they think the roof on killua’s powers supersede his. All in all I view illumi as truly broken in, considering his stance on family and being willing to sacrifice himself all to be viewed in a higher place by them.

    Finally an Illumi theory after so long, thank you! I swear we need more Illumi content! He's a character who, despite not being shown very much, is so interesting, especially with his past. Y'all undermine my boi so much, he's a master assassin for god's sake, one of the best Nen users here! Although weaker than him, even Hisoka shows interest in him, he is one of the few *humans* who come close to Hisoka! Even post-chimera Killua feared him.
    Also, he even tries to care for his family in his own distorted ways (can only blame Kikyo and Silva for that upbringing tho, he must have had it so hard. They just allow Killua to do what he wants, but im pretty sure he suffered pretty bad) And now he's a part of the PT too, cmmon guys show him some love.

    We have mostly seen Illumi through Killua’s POV in the anime thus far, so it makes sense that there’s more we didn’t see. When Illumi talks to Hisoka over the comms in the Hunter exam arc, he is more casual and less demanding. Hisoka didn’t react much to the emotional actions of Illumi, and even knew exactly how to set him off. Because of the difference in relationships, Hisoka and Killua both know a different side of Illumi. I think we’re just getting to see hisokas side of Illumi now.

    @0:24 Liam : "He's probably the purest manipulator in HxH, Rarely if ever splashes into other affinities"
    I agree with the fact that his mastery of manipulation is the greatest we've seen so far. Yet I would actually ALSO (Liam's voice) argue that his mastery and subtle display of emission nen is INSANE!!!
    One of the simplest ways to recognize emission nen type is with aura detached from the user's body (like Kurapika needed Emission nen for judgment chain to work on Chlorro remotely). In Illumi's case, the needle he's placed on Kirua was still working fine while both of them were on completely different continents (Best example is Kiruaa being on greed island while Illumi, as far as we know, was not).
    Kurapika as a natural conjurer had to use Emporor Time condition/vow to tap into 100% emission mastery to do that on Chrollo with judgement chain.
    Knuckle, who's also a conjurer, His potclean stops adding interest if the target is beyond 100 meters radius (see chapter 235)... Which is a distance so short an non nen user athlete can cross under 12seconds. Let alone pro hunters... Emitter nen mastery for natural conjurer is 40% max, and it shows with Knuckle. And 80% max for natural pure Manipulators like Illumi.
    This feat alone (having his needle work on a target who's physically teleported miles away in an area surrounded by nen master's nen at that, tells me that his mastery and display of emitter nen category is pretty much very close to 100% if not as good as Kurapika's in Emperor time mode, aka 100% 😎

  • @nikkiyc7751
    @nikkiyc7751 3 месяца назад +10

    Have you heard of the theory that Prenuptial Agreement/Engagement Ring is Illumi’s Nen ability? Essentially, by fulfilling the conditions of the prenuptial agreement (for example, kill Hisoka or help Hisoka kill the Spider), he can get full control over his target. Unlike with the Needle People, the target could complete many complicated tasks and not die from it.
    The theory states that he might have created this ability to control Nanika. There’s that scene where we look inside Illumi’s mind and see Alluka/Nanika manipulated by Killua manipulated by him. Basically “you control what I want and I control you.” If he uses that ability on Killua, he can fully control Killua without the risk of accidentally killing him, but before that, he needs to test it (on Hisoka).

So in short Illumi chose quantity while Shalnark chose quality. Plus Illumi can control people only if he pierce through their brain while Shal could pick any part of body but Illumi can also control different parts of body of other people. So it’s not that one above other they just a polar opposite in the way how they use manipulation on people

    I think it would be interesting if it comes to find that Hisoka's amplified ability allows him to now wrap people in his texture surprise and control them rather than just it. It would be quite the plot twist, and could set up an interesting situation if Illumi ever gets out or if he has been killed already and Killua find outs. and the Illumi already being dead also makes a lot of sesne. As Illumi's powers don't really invite for an entertaining forward fight. hisoka ranked illumi incredibly high which means he was or was near "ripe for picking". and will push killua out of rage and retaliation. Similar to Gon with Pitou when he lost his mind.

  • @windie7718
    @windie7718 3 месяца назад +2

    There’s no real evidence to suggest Hisoka would kill-murder kalluto if he is in disguise as illumi… kinda seems more likely he wouldn’t given his response to illumi when he mentions killing Killua.. Hisoka is a whore for a good fight and illumi is arguably the next best thing to chrollo, and yet he turned down the opportunity even after goading illumi to the point of being fully battle ready…?
    I think Hisoka has a more thoughtful side than we’ve been shown up to now, and I also think illumi is one of the few he considers to be a friend/acquaintance. Also: it’s worth noting the Zoldyck family is a much older and more enduring group of nen assasins than his current adversaries the spiders…not sure even Hisoka would willingly put himself at odds with 2 of the most powerful groups of men users(killers) in the world

    @12:29 liam: ", Although I would say that if Hisoka were Illumi then it would be more than likely that Kalluto would already be de*d after being left alone with him"
    From Hisoka's perspective, it'd be a waste to end Kalluto now. He called her "tasty looking" when he saw her on GreedIsland,, and even tho he declared war on every single troupe member. She's just a new addition that has nothing to do with his current beef with the troupe for one, not a worthy opponent for him yet for two,, and for those who would say that this Hisoka isn't playing no more and he gets straight to the point. I agree with you guys. Yet he didn't end Machi on the spot so there's still some thinking and priorities and worth analysis in him

    • @awon6518
      @awon6518 3 месяца назад +4

      This is only a guess why Hisoka didn't end Machi on the spot, knowing she's a no joke nen user.
      Showing Machi he could have taken her out then and there, however chose not to and instead left her to deliver a message that the troupe would have figured out on their own seems like one of the most irritating ways Hisoka can insult Machi.
      Leaving her there when she probably knew he was about to chase down Kortopi and Shal and there was nothing she could do shows how serious an opponent Hisoka took her and her threats, not much at all. I know he caught her off guard, it still shows in a one on one if Machi slipped up a tiny bit that could be it for her against Hisoka. It also "forces" her to admit to the troupe Hisoka disabled her and she couldn't do anything about it or help Kortopi or Shal. If Chrollo was mad at what Hisoka did to Kortopi and Shal, Machi had to have been furious.
      Hisoka knows how loyal Machi is to the troupe and Chrollo. If Hisoka were to take out the troupe and purposefully leaves Machi for last, that seems like a Hisoka type of thing to do.
      If it got to the point where the troupe is either taken out and or some members bail out (Illumi and Kalluto) leaving Machi as the last member of the troupe, I don't think Hisoka would have much interest chasing down Machi, she would likely go to him anyways. Hisoka would have the option to end her or to "disable" her whenever she tries to attack him.
      Watching Machi try to get revenge for the troupe knowing she doesn't have much of a chance I think would be "more entertaining" to Hisoka than ending her. If the troupe falls my guess is Illumi, Kalluto and Machi have the best chances of surviving. I have no idea if Illumi and Kalluto are targets for Kurapika.
      All that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Chrollo has something in place that could be put in play if the troupe ever seemed like it was about to be wiped out. Some way to be sure that if the troupe fell to one or two members, they'd have access to resources and networks to at the very least be able to start to rebuild.
      There are so many different scenarios and ways it could play out, it'll be interesting to see.

    Also, the idea that Illumi broke the needle he put in his own head and is now potentially stronger for it, is so amazing. It mirrors how Hisoka also got stronger. And to see them both level up reminds me of Gon and Killua breaking their respective mental ceilings to achieve new heights in the ant arc. Hopefully we get to see a new and improved Illumi in action.

  • @wassimsisko3908
    @wassimsisko3908 3 месяца назад +2

    I think the difference between illumi & sharnalk's manipulation is that, yes illlumi can manipulate multiple people but he can NOT give them complex orders or ask them to do complex tasks like to speak, he just gives them a simple command to follow like "attack". If he wanted to give them complex orders like to speak full conversations while being themselves he would need to stick dozens of needles within his target (like he did with the ten dons) one needle against a strong nen user is not enough just like we've seen killua break out of illlumi's manipulation while he had no idea the needle was there in the first place so if he knew he would've broken out of it way before, illlumi needs to stick dozens of needles to fully control his target and make them do whatever he wants especially if they are nen users unlike sharnalk who can make his puppets speak and have full conversations and can even make them go autopilot unsupervised while still doing complex tasks like actioning stolen goods, all with just one needle. So I strongly disagree i thing sharnalk is a way more efficiant manipulator than illumi, and you forgot to mention that when he goes autopilot he doesn't remember anything that happened while he was in that mode, besides his muscles hurting the longer he remains in that mode, i'm sure if he stays in it for like 20 minutes he may even end up paralized the dude pulviresed an ant's super tough skin with just a small leg push (which gon couldn't do even with his rock attack) so not only would he have not died, he would've killed hisoka if he had his power

  • @josiahlikestodance
    @josiahlikestodance 3 месяца назад

    I like the idea of Illumi being on autopilot as a baseline. It provides a very interesting contrast on class within the world as well. Where Shalnark only uses autopilot to finish something he couldn’t otherwise win. And Illumi using autopilot as baseline, and may very well just depend on his actual mind when pushed out of autopilot mode. Shalnark being poor growing up, feeling like nothing would get him out of meteor city except Nen. And depending on Nen in form of autopilot to win hard battles. Whereas Illumi grew up incredibly wealthy and from a prestigious family of assassins, trusts himself to get the job done because he comes from the background to do it. I like the idea that if he comes into a specific situation that he would come out of autopilot and potentially be even stronger. Using autopilot to handle the monotony of his everyday life kind of makes sense and would be incredibly efficient.
