When I first read Tserri's nen ability, my immediate reaction was "Oh God Dammit its King Crimson"

Who’s here after hisoka scares the shit out of the prince

I love that for Tseri's hatsu Togashi just went: "King Crismon but with actually defined rules."

A line from Blood Meridian perfectly describes Tsereidnich's point of view on the rest of the world. "Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent." If Tsereidnich cared enough to look into whether or not every human has the right to exist he would and not many would exist afterwards.

Hisoka is actually very different from Tserri in that Hisoka seeks out people he finds exceptional - he is full of love (lust) and his mindset requires unique individuals that he admires (to take down)

This guy is highly underrated, I am in love with his HxH content, this just shows you truly appreciate the characters. I refuse to die without seeing the complete ending of HxH, a forever Masterpiece. Pls Togashi don't give up

Prince Tserri is such a fascinating character, and how he's able to adapt and be so attuned to nen already is so freaking scary I can't wait for more of him

His relationship with theta will be the reverse of the king and komugi. Rather than her making him a better person he’s gonna have the opposite effect on theta. He’s gonna make her as evil and sadistic as he is

Togashi is just so good at make new characters instantly fascinating, terrifying and interesting. The prince is already a top vilain for me

You neglected to speculate on what I believe will be one of his most interesting interactions. His fascination with Melody. She is the perfect antithesis to him. He has a mad obsession with honesty, while she is a person who can both read another person’s honesty, and ascertain their true self and intentions.

"as this arc goes on"

Melody meeting Tse is one of my most anticipated events of the arc. so much potential.
my personal theory is that the "Sonata of Darkness" that disfigured her had a part in Tse's early shift in personality-- cursing him, but to his benefit. like "the Devil's" chosen one.
it fits neatly with a number of things: his underground art collecting proclivities, his aforementioned personality shift, why his naive childhood friends were injected into the boat scenario (his past has ample depth to be explored), how and why his satanic symbolism is overtly prevalent, why his second nen beast developed subconsciously and has meta elements (curse AKA nen parasite, like the jar ceremony's), why the story was woven for he and Melody to interact, etc.

Ooooh! I never thought about the fact that Tserriednich controls fate while Chrollo wants to understand fate. That's a great theory on how these characters will connect later on.

I definitely think Tserri would be the only person to look at Meruem at say “…Fuck, you are too repulsive to look at”

His characterization as a narcissistic psychopath is actually very accurate to the personality of many famous real life serial killers

Dark King indeed. Togashi has heinous stuff planned for him but he won’t win.

I think I see where Togashi is taking Kurapika's story.
Maybe he won't be able to defeat this colossal monster. Maybe he will find another way to be at peace with his clan other than physically getting their eyes back.
Not saying I don't have faith in Kurapika. He's certainly one of the most resourceful and determined characters in the show, but I just don't see him easily beating a guy who can literally see the future. Maybe with friends? Maybe that's the change we're gonna see with Kurapika - he'll stop acting alone?
That'd be a sight.

personally, what i want from his (one-sided) "friends" narratively speaking is for the manga to show him being capable of connection (actually be affected by them, even for the briefest moment and/or for the readers' eyes only), and to present to him an opportunity to go in this "light" path, and for him to ultimately reject it.  continuing the theme of "humanity" from meruem vs netero, i think it would be cool and particularily meaningful to show that the most evil character is not evil because inherently incapable of love/connection/"good". and we've already had examples of the other side of the coin and characters who took the "light" path

First 5s and you managed to actually pronounce tseri’s name. Thats definitely worth a like.

The timing of this video is incredible. I’ve been feeling hopeless, But the thought that through this madness, there are things that still bring smiles to my face means that there’s a chance of something better. Like Kirapika I’m going to continue down this path. Acknowledging the truth of the world with a little hope in the back of my mind for something better
