Are we going to forget that this was a troupe that mercilessly slaughtered Kurapika's clan for their eyes ?

Reading the latest chap, It is clear Pakunoda’s death devastated Chrollo a lot since they are childhood friends

"Paku wanted to thank you" Broo...

I fully expected her to be more of a background member but she was a great character.

I know the Phantom Troupe is so…evil…but what Paku did warmed my heart

She really loves her boss

"Paku wanted to thank you." Phinks being also feel grateful as Pakunoda and start to understand her feelings and reasons still lingering at the death of Sarasa in her heart through memory bullets. "Please end all of this with just me" Pakunoda had enough of losing her another friend. It hit hard after that reading lastest chapter. I can now understand why Paku is so grateful for them for not repeating another tragedy of rainy day of that lastest chapter...

She was such a good character, I loved this arc but sad there was not much else abt the troupe and kurapika in the anime:/

i cried when pakunoda's memory with gon and killua plays out

Kurapika was an absolute unit for this whole season. Drive and purpose can be a scary and amazing thing depending on the scenario.

The fact that she responded meow to the cat

The last part was so touching especially when it ended with the music. So smooth

4:38 this reaction was the best of Hisoka

After reading the latest chapter 395, this is even more emotional for me. Got to rewatch the YorkNew Arc again. Pakunoda the GOAT❤

“Because we’re his friends, we don’t want him to kill.” Gon: Proceeds to head smash pitou

she became one of my favourite member of phantom troupe, the time i saw her. 💔

I love how HxH can have an arc when one of the protagonists (Kurapika) is painted in a way where he seems to be the villain, while the actual villains get developed in a way where you start seeing them as these normal missguided people who care deeply about eachother, in their own weird way. Togashi really knows how to write characters, and him making Kurapika this bland, cliche shonen type at the beginning, to later use that as a way for readers to want to side with the villains is just genius. And then having the main character (Gon) actually be neutral, understanding the perspective of both parties just adds to all of it. Most other writers would just have the main characters try and fight the villains, thus making you look at them as pure evil villains, when in reality, its never that simple.

3:45 pakunoda's reaction

These Troupe scenes have more weight after the recent chapters. Chrollo felt that whole caring about your friends more than vengance thing

Chrollo values the members of the troupe more than himself. That's why he was pissed when Hisoka killed Shalnark and Kortopi.

after reading chapter 395 this is even sadder😭😭😭

the fact that gon and killua stopped kurapika from killing the mastermind of a crime organization that has probably killed a lot of people and stole a shit ton is...well, choices.

4:36 When you go from hard to flaccid in a microsecond

Sure, let’s just forget the fact that for the previous 19 episodes, she and her pals were slaughtering literally hundreds of people. And so what if they were mafia? I doubt even the gangsters in this world have committed anywhere close to the same level of atrocities as Phantom Troupe

Chapter 395 changes this scene for me.. It so melancholic x 10000!

oh paku, your'e as beautifull as the day we lost you...

5:08

After reading the childhood arc recently this is extremely sad 😔

the fact that nobody disliked.

Dude I’m so sad about this😔

That chain ⛓️ tying Gon :- "Am I a joke to you ?" 👀😂

4:37

4:33 always gets me

I love her so much, she’s by far my favourite character!

I loved Pakunoda why did she have to die😭😭😭

Perfect edit. Missed nothing important! Nice job!

i miss paku, im crying 😭

Annie Leonheart's face from AoT really look like her.

My favorite arc in all anime. My god are all the members of this group so well fleshed out abd flesh out. All in one fucking arc

This scene hits different after last chapters

One of smart scenario anime realted to death note

THE PAIN!!!!! This scene changes completely after the flashback, especially with the Boss potentially having feelings for Pakunoda. When they pass each other hits hard. The dynamics between the kids and the Troupe is INSANE, they look nothing alike while at the same time feel like their younger version that was stripped by the brutality of the world. The Spiders became so cynical and analytical that they lost touch with their human emotions, only after Gon's words they decided to BET THEIR LIVES, the whole Troupe, the family they fought so much to protect, because of one beloved member. That was AMAZING. "The pack survives" but at that moment Chrollo was almost the only one. I think Danshou accepted this fate a long time but he would certainly get distraught; as for me it's quite hard know how i feel, they certainly do not look like their innocent kids version and it's hard to judge them the same way and say they wouldn't deserve some Karmic punishment. But one thing is certain, Kurapika and the Troupe are not so different, especially in the current arc he looks like saw things that couldn't be unseen and became much more brutal, even sacrificing innocents for his goals like they're nothing.

I had a theory that paku's inloved with chrollo . But i cant totally explain it .

Love how deep this show is. Like obviously the phantom troupe has committed countless atrocities but they also have depth of character.

rest in peace pakunoda 😭😢😭😭😭😭😥😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😢😭😭😭😭😢😥😭😭😭😭😭😭

this hits different after 395....

If Uvo is still alive when Paku did this it would be a big mess.

Anybody here after reading chapter 395?

4:37 Hisoka was so shocked that he returned from the anime to the manga

Honestly, the fact that the Phantom Troupe *do* care about each other makes the fact that they committed genocide against the Kurta even worse. They killed an entire race of people, brutally and heartlessly, forcing them to watch as they slaughtered their loved ones so that their eyes would turn a more vibrant shade and be more valuable. But they know full well how much it hurts to lose someone *they* care about, so not only are they monsters, they're hypocritical monsters. Pakunoda deserved this death. No amount of narrative framing or showing that she cares about the other members of the troupe makes her less of a monster who committed unspeakable acts of evil.

Gon yeeted his phone 🤣

I almost cried in her death. I’ve never actually cried in someone’s death or a sad moment so this is possibly my first time. It feels like I was emotionally attached to her automatically. This probably feels very cringey to read but I had this feeling I don’t know how to explain while watching her death scene. She was my fave phantom troupe member 😭 she’s often disliked because of her clothes (I did too) but after she got more screentime (when Kurapika blackmails her to come near the airport) I started to like her more. And after her death scene, I was almost in tears. Edit: i’m still in Greed Island arc so if i’m feeling sad in only this much, then I don’t what will happen in the Komugi and Meruem death scene-

When the antagonists are more interesting than the actual hero’s.

lol so she had a heart, didn't seem like it when she threatened squala with eliza even though he couldn't do anything against them, togashi can try to paint the phantom troupe as a bunch of misguided robin hoods for a year and that still wouldn't change the fact that they need to be culled one at a time, with chrollo being the last to die

"Please end all of this with just me" Yea well... At least she won't be alone on the other side.

man i loved her

AAANNNIIIIIEEEEEE!!!

I always watch HxH without favoring the character ideals. That world is cruel from the get go, normal people can't even understand how they die if the killer uses Nen. In the end, everyone is fighting for their own ideals, their own goals. Even someone like Gon can be driven by revenge and bloodlust. Even those in the Troupe has feelings like normal people. They're all fighting for something, some have a moral code while others are willing to do anything to make it happen.

WHEN SHE DID MEOW I CAN'T FORGET

4:37 🗿

This hits harder with the most recent manga chapter (395)

"Do you trust that I'll keep my word?" Pakunoda: *gives the Ao Oni stare*

I will forever say this. HunterxHunter has some of the best character development and writing I've seen out of many animes. Togashi writes in a way where you can clearly see how the characters and their reality, just like ours, are not all black and white. People are good and bad, but not for no reason. They have intentions, pasts and trauma that heavily tie into why they are who they are, and most importantly, why they progressed into who they did. They had growth in their pasts but also growth that we could witness in the show, and the best part is how this was not limited to just the hero characters. Even for characters with little screen time and villains like Pakunoda. She was seemingly baselessly evil up until the final moments of her life where we witnessed her humanity. Those few moments managed to change the perspective and views of many who disliked her, but not entirely! We knew and hated how she did terrible things, but we still sympathized when we were shown how she still had empathy, a softer side and a want to do good in some way before the end. Likewise, the hero characters like gon and netero were not seen entirely as such by the viewers by the end, and people still loved them but had gripes with their actions and decisions during the show. Once again, superb writing. R.I.P to her, she became one of my fave characters in the show later on.

Phinks always sounds like there’s something blocking his throat

Don't really feel sad for her. She tortured and threatened Squala and then got him killed without remorse about any of it and has killed countless people. If good people have bad ends, then this is just karma

you cut the last response of pakunoda to kurapika

7:33 i'm crying, this is really beautiful

Does anybody else think Paku was in love with Chrollo? No? Just me?

7:20 can somebody please help me with the name of the background music😢

The fuck this is the best anime created ever!

Every moment of phantom troupe hits different after knowing their backstory 😮

The 1999 version handled Paku’s death a lot better, the build up and the music is on point. This one feels a little rushed.

in 1999 version Chrollo looks very done with Hisoka on that scene

with the latest manga chapter I feel bad now to spiders and uvogin death they are so innocent when they are kids and you can feel mc vibes when they want to be a performer not a bunch of killers but there something happen in their childhood that turn them in to monsters.

If gon asked nicely when he was captured one of them I forgot their name could track where ging is

'99 version of this scene is way better IMO.

does anyone know the little piano song at 6:15 ?

“please… let all this… end with me” pulled a kaede akamatsu holy shit

Itulah kenapa wanita di penuhi oleh hatinya dan instingnya meskipun merugikan mereka tapi mereka mempunyai insting untuk bertahan hidup dari kehilangan. 😅😅😅

thanks...

@2:50- Kurapika would not lose control and kill them without mercy. True, but you would kill without mercy after losing control right, Gon!

Paku loyal af

Armin killing annie

When you realize the one who kill chloro friend is kurta clan members

Ah yes, Kurapika or better known as the Troupe's cheat code. I just wish he had more spotlight and at least had battled another spider.

pakunoda be a snack though

Ok im scared of kurapika-

The netflix english translation is way better. I rewatched it for the 3rd time now and just now I got extra meaning on the death scene of paku.

Knowing the Troupe's backstory just makes this sadder, she chose saving Chrollo over honouring the spider bc revenge is less important to her than her childhood friend. Spider and Kurapika are two sides of the same coin

Would be cool if they would have had the same cat scene as in the 1999 version

NOOO PAKUNODA

Anyone know outro song name?

i cry

Hunter. Allahumma sholli wa sallim wa baarik ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa'ala ali Sayyidina Muhammadin fil awwalin wal aakhirin wa fil mala'il a'laa ilaa Yaumiddin

Kurapika: i bind chrolo to leave and if not he dies, hes got no nen but hes in no danger just dont do stupid things Paku: so anyway i started blasting

what episode is this from?

here after cap 396

anyone know the name of the violin song at the end?

what episode

フランクリンあの見た目で頭脳派なの笑える
