Since the manga is now on hiatus after these 10 chapters, let's talk about one of the most important encounters between characters: Hisoka and Tserriednich
The encounter and confrontation between Hisoka and Tserriednich in the last chapters was something that could have been, in some ways, predicted by understanding the meaning of the characters.
I have already posted some part of this analysis, but it's necessary to understand the logic of the discussion and conclusion
1) Symbolism of Characters
By the way, Togashi represented the Nen test of Tserriednich as much worse than Pitou to showcase his talent and dangerousness as exceptional even among specialists:
Tserriednich vs Hisoka can also be read as both Jesus/Tserriednich (depicted as Jesus) vs Antichrist/Hisoka (born on 6 Junes in relation to 666) or Antichrist/Tserriednich (and the 2 beasts) vs Jesus/Hisoka the Magician.
Togashi is showing the duality of these characters, who can have the opposite symbolism (Jesus-Antichrist/Devil) and can be read in both ways.
The opposition: the Kakin royal family vs Chrollo and the spiders (that want to steal the 3 sacred treasures of Kakin), where Tserriednich is like Jesus and Chrollo is like the Antichrist (but also reversed), which can be seen in different way:
In short, Togashi changed the roles of these characters: Chrollo, Hisoka and Tserriednich (Antichrist, Judas, Jesus), in relation to different situations of the story in the manga. For this reason, Chrollo-Hisoka-Tserriednich have different symbolism and characteristics in relation to the Antichrist-Judas-Jesus manifested in different situations.
So, the opposition between Chrollo vs Hisoka vs Tserriednich in the manga is based on these connections.
2) Scheme of characters used by Togashi (based on Yang-Yin)
Point 1: Genei Ryodan (Top Criminals) and Zodiacs (Top Hunters): Both groups of 12 characters have a main fight between the main characters: Chrollo-Hisoka and Pariston-Ging:
-Also, Tserriednich and Razor are linked to the number 14 as 7x2: The 14 princes related to the 7 Deadly Sins and the 14 Devils of Razor.
Point 3: Hoikoro and Zoldyck, the 2 important and powerful families
Like Beyond Netero is similar to Isaac Netero (Yang and Yin, White Hair-Black Hair), King Nasubi and his son Benjamin of the Hoikoro family are similar to Zeno and his son Silva of the Zoldyck family.
1) Patriarchs:
By the way, in general terms, these schemes are also related to the importance and the general power ranking of characters, for example:
Tserriednich will become more experienced with Nen because of his abnormal talent to be a rival (and/or "ally" and/or "be betrayed") for/by Hisoka (like Chrollo and Illumi) .

- a rich Jesus/Tserriednich
- a poor Antichrist/Chrollo
In short, Togashi changed the roles of these characters: Chrollo, Hisoka and Tserriednich (Antichrist, Judas, Jesus), in relation to different situations of the story in the manga. For this reason, Chrollo-Hisoka-Tserriednich have different symbolism and characteristics in relation to the Antichrist-Judas-Jesus manifested in different situations.

Point 1: Genei Ryodan (Top Criminals) and Zodiacs (Top Hunters): Both groups of 12 characters have a main fight between the main characters: Chrollo-Hisoka and Pariston-Ging:
- Chrollo (Black Hair, Yin) vs Hisoka (White Hair, Yang)=Pariston (White Hair, Yang) vs Ging (Black Hair, Yin).
- Hisoka (White Hair - Yang) interacts with mercenary Illumi (Black Hair - Yin) = Ging (Black Hair -Yin) interacts with mercenary Muherr (White Hair - Yang)
- Hisoka Morow (White hair/Yang - a member of the Ryodan) and Illumi Zoldyck (Black hair/Yin - a mercenary) + Tserriednich Hoikoro (White hair/Yang - depicted as Jesus and the 14 Princes= 7x2)
- Ging (Black hair/Yin - a member of the Zodiacs) and Muherr (White hair/Yang - a mercenary)+ Razor (Black hair/Yin - his ability: The Devil and his 14 Devils=7x2)
-Also, Tserriednich and Razor are linked to the number 14 as 7x2: The 14 princes related to the 7 Deadly Sins and the 14 Devils of Razor.
- Positively: Ging defeated Razor and then Razor became his ally (and one of the Creators of Greed Island).
- Negatively: Hisoka confronted/"defeated" Tserriednich creating/will create a "rivalry/alliance" (similarly to Hisoka and Illumi: friends but also wanting to kill each other).
Point 3: Hoikoro and Zoldyck, the 2 important and powerful families
Like Beyond Netero is similar to Isaac Netero (Yang and Yin, White Hair-Black Hair), King Nasubi and his son Benjamin of the Hoikoro family are similar to Zeno and his son Silva of the Zoldyck family.
- Isaac Netero (White hair and beard =Yang/White side)
- Beyond Netero (Black hair and beard = Yin/Black side)
- Isaac Netero (White hair-White beard) and Zeno Zoldyck (White hair-White Chinese mustache that follows the Chinese culture)
- Beyond Netero (Black hair-Black beard) and Nasubi Hoikoro (Black hair-Black Chinese mustache that follows the Chinese culture):
1) Patriarchs:
- Isaac Netero=Beyond Netero
- Zeno Zoldyck=Nasubi Hoikoro (patriarchs of Chinese traditions of an important family that interact with Isaac and Beyond Netero).
- Silva Zoldyck=Benjamin Hoikoro (tall and muscular sons that always follow their father, Zeno/Nasubi)
- Illumi=Tserriednich: evil elder brothers, adversaries to main characters that interact with Hisoka
- Gon and Killua/Alluka + Kurapika/Woble (main characters)
- Hisoka and Illumi + Tserriednich (main adversaries)
By the way, in general terms, these schemes are also related to the importance and the general power ranking of characters, for example:
- Meruem (The King)>Pitou-Pouf-Youpi (The Royal guards) >>>36 division commanders
- Chrollo (Jesus/Antichrist)>>>Ryodan members (Apostles)
- Hisoka (Jesus/Judas/Antichrist)>>>Ryodan members (Apostles)
- Tserriednich (Jesus/Antichrist)>>>the other princes of Kakin
- Tserriednich (Jesus)>> Morena (Mary Magdalene)
- Isaac Netero/Beyond Netero>>Zodiacs members
- Pariston/Ging >>>the other Zodiacs Members
- Isaac Netero>Zeno/Silva
- Beyond Netero>Nasubi/Benjamin
- Hisoka>Illumi
- Ging>Muher
- Hisoka>Tserriednich
- Ging>Razor
Tserriednich will become more experienced with Nen because of his abnormal talent to be a rival (and/or "ally" and/or "be betrayed") for/by Hisoka (like Chrollo and Illumi) .
