The most interesting thread here is not actually the possibility of Chrollo acquiring a Guardian Spirit Beast, but the broader argument about how Hunter x Hunter keeps Nen powerful without allowing it to make ordinary human threats irrelevant. The video opens with the entertaining image of Chrollo somehow entering the Succession Contest through the Seed Urn, then immediately admits that the scenario makes very little logical sense and is essentially wishful speculation. That self-awareness helps, especially because the more grounded question—why Chrollo knows so much about Kakin's sacred artifacts—provides a better mystery. Suggestions that Beyond Netero or King Nasubi could be supplying information are presented as possibilities rather than discoveries, keeping an appropriately speculative boundary around material the manga has not resolved.
The discussion becomes substantially stronger when it turns from Chrollo theories to firearms. Kurapika's vulnerability to increasingly powerful guns, Bill's ability to withstand 9mm rounds with Ken, and the contrast between an Enhancer and a Conjurer are used to make a convincing thematic point: Nen proficiency does not automatically make every character equally durable. The comparison with earlier displays such as Uvogin surviving extreme firepower gives the argument a useful sense of development. Claims about Togashi's changing personal philosophy or growing respect for firearms are necessarily interpretive, but the underlying observation is persuasive: this arc appears unusually interested in the practical relationship between Nen defenses, individual affinity and conventional weapons.
That leads into one of the video's best broader observations about the series. Rather than treating power progression as a ladder on which major characters eventually become competent at everything, the Succession War continually creates situations where specialization matters. Kurapika may possess extraordinary abilities while still having defensive limitations that another Nen user handles more naturally. Connecting this to the series' willingness to make technological and human-created threats consequential gives the discussion more substance than simple chapter prediction, even if the sweeping suggestion that Togashi's entire philosophy changed along the way cannot be established from the examples alone.
The theory involving Tubeppa's Guardian Spirit Beast is similarly well constructed because it begins with known pieces of the current situation and then asks how they might interact. The beast's drug-producing function, its collaborative nature and Kurapika's new position as Tubeppa's research partner provide a plausible foundation for speculation about an antidote to TSK-17. The video also recognizes the political obstacle: Tubeppa currently has little reason to save Benjamin or Camilla. From there, the proposed scenario in which widespread infection changes her incentives is clearly hypothetical, but it usefully demonstrates how Nen abilities and political interests could converge rather than treating the beast's pharmaceutical capability as an isolated gimmick.
Benjamin's confrontation with Tserriednich produces the episode's densest stretch of theorycrafting. The argument that Benjamin's urgency and hostility may prevent him from properly recognizing Parallel Future is reasonable within the scenario presented, while the alternative suggestion that infecting Tserriednich would have been strategically safer highlights Benjamin's unusually reckless approach. The video is especially effective when contrasting this impulsiveness with his established reliance on surveillance and analysis elsewhere in the contest. Because Benjamin has lacked comparable intelligence from Tserriednich's quarters, simply entering and shooting him can credibly be framed as a dangerous blind spot. Some surrounding theories—TSK-17 being released among assembled princes, the significance of Tserriednich's coffin plan, and possible interactions with other curses—pile uncertainty upon uncertainty, however, making this portion more difficult to separate into likely developments and imaginative possibilities.
The treatment of Benjamin's morality is more playful than rigorous. Calling him a comparatively "good guy" is deliberately undercut by acknowledging his murders, and the attempt to interpret his killing of the maids as potentially sparing them from infection is immediately balanced against the more practical explanation involving Camilla's Cat's Name ability. That willingness to challenge its own interpretation is welcome, although the moral comparison with Killua is too casual to support much meaningful character analysis. More valuable is the observation that direct meetings between princes remain relatively unusual, making Benjamin's encounters with Camilla and Tserriednich narratively significant and potentially signaling more direct collisions as the contest destabilizes.
The closing discussion of Theta and Tserriednich is the strongest speculative analysis in the video. Theta's attempt to slow his Nen development by directing his attention toward Zetsu may have accidentally produced exactly the training required for his extraordinary ability, creating an effective irony regardless of the precise mechanism. The video offers three distinct possibilities: coincidence, Tserriednich subconsciously shaping an ability around Theta's instruction, or intervention by his Guardian Spirit Beast. None is presented as settled, and comparing them reveals why the situation is so intriguing. The analysis could be tighter overall—the rapid movement between Chrollo, firearms, Tubeppa, Benjamin and Theta sometimes feels more like an extended collection of chapter thoughts than a single developed thesis—but its enthusiasm is supported by close attention to how Nen mechanics and character decisions interact.
Pros
- The firearms discussion uses Kurapika, Bill and Uvogin to make a strong point about Nen specialization and the continuing importance of conventional threats.
- Chrollo's Guardian Spirit Beast idea is explicitly identified as unlikely fan speculation rather than presented as a genuine prediction.
- Tubeppa's drug-producing Guardian Spirit Beast is connected thoughtfully to Kurapika, TSK-17 and the changing political incentives of the Succession War.
- Benjamin's reckless treatment of Tserriednich is effectively contrasted with his normally methodical intelligence gathering.
- The three explanations for Theta's accidental role in Tserriednich's development provide a particularly interesting examination of cause and effect within Nen.
- The presentation regularly acknowledges uncertainty and sometimes challenges its own theories rather than pretending every prediction is equally probable.
Cons
- The attention-grabbing Chrollo theory occupies relatively little of the substantive analysis and is quickly acknowledged to be extremely unlikely.
- Several theories depend on other unconfirmed theories, particularly around TSK-17, Benjamin's gathering of the princes and possible curse interactions.
- Claims about Togashi's changing philosophy toward firearms and human technology are interesting interpretations but are stated more confidently than the examples can conclusively establish.
- The discussion jumps rapidly among several largely separate topics, giving the video less of a unified argument than its strongest individual sections deserve.
- Benjamin's joking characterization as comparatively morally sound produces some entertaining commentary but offers less analytical value than the surrounding strategic discussion.
This is energetic and often perceptive Hunter x Hunter theorycrafting that works best when it uses established Nen mechanics and character behavior to define the boundaries of its speculation. The firearms analysis and Theta discussion are especially strong, while the more elaborate predictions become shakier as hypothetical elements accumulate. Even so, the willingness to label unlikely ideas as such keeps the enthusiasm from becoming certainty.
