Kurapika fooled Uvo in a way that he couldn't possibly realize, IMO. Considering what Uvogin saw so far, the best assumption is that Kurapika was a manipulator (he was always with his chains on and could make it able to restrain someone as strong as Uvo somehow, either by strengthening it or by...

Kurapika is extremely analytical, even when facing the troupe. He managed to fool them not only in the Uvo fight, but also at the Beitacle Hotel. However, Chrollo is a hard target even for Kurapika and his hard counter against the troupe... even captured, he managed to tip him off his balance...

According to the manga so far, he becomes stronger when enraged (Emperor Time / scarlet eyes). There wasn't a single instance showing otherwise. He might get less logical-analytical when infuriated, but he definitely gets more powerful.

He could be. However, getting pissed by some taunting can't be compared to Kurapika's resolve. In terms of resolve AND nen restrictions, there's only 1 character who surpassed Kurapika: Gon. And we saw what nen can do when you disregard your own safety. Not only he gets fired up to the bone...

People, you're forgetting something: nen isn't only affected by training, physical aptitudes, etc., but also by the user's feelings. On top of that, Kurapika's "scarlet eyes mode" (not necessarily Emperor Time) might be able to also boost his base stats (not sure if at the cost of his...

The thing is, Porcupine didn't have hair (at least in the manga he's completely bald, in both versions of the anime he had a small tuft in his forehead). Thus, he's probably a transmuter, as that's what transmuters do: change the properties of their aura to replicate something else. E.g...

Not sure about Rabid Dog, but Porcupine definitely used a hatsu. None of the three remaining principles (ten, zetsu, ren) or even the advanced techniques (gyo, in, en, shu, ko, ken, ryu) can make hair grown and become sharper than steel. It can only be hatsu, a specific nen ability. (Btw, now...

True, but it doesn't mean that Phinks' simple punches would do much to Uvogin. He probably would need at least a decent amount of aura to hurt Uvo (which would leave his defenses weakened). As @SkySanji commented, the troupe complimented the Shadow Beasts for being able to hurt Uvo, they were...

It's obviously Zoro, even though Luffy has an "ultra protagonism". Zoro has a very clear dream, which is compared to Luffy's goal to be the Pirate King (this isn't his dream actually, but it's certainly a huge achievement) at the very first time he appeared in the Romance Dawn Arc; Zoro has...

Considering Hisoka's personality test, I'd probably be a conjurer.

Yeah, Phinks' hatsu has 1, maybe 2 restrictions, but it's too slow to charge. How many rotations do you think is sufficient to seriously hurt Uvo? With his normal punches (even if nen enhanced), he probably wouldn't be able to do much, since he couldn't hurt the chimera ant gorilla (unless you...

They might be in the PT/Zodiacs' level (probably top PT/Zodiac, thus being capable of beating any of them), but Razor is stronger than Bisky IMO. Bisky's hatsus are support abilites, so she's behind Razor in terms of actual combat capabilities (she might be a more skilled nen user, but she has a...

In my opinion, Uvogin is (was) the strongest combatant of the troupe. I mean, he's kinda like Kaido of HxH... I think that he could only be beaten by his peers via dirty tactics (2v1, 3v1, ambushs, etc.) or a counter (e.g.: Kurapika's chains). Look at what Nobunaga says about him: "He loved...

Morel is a strong hunter, probably one of the best of the best since he was one of the two chosen to accompany Netero in NGL. Why he wasn't a Zodiac then? I think it was probably because his relationship with Netero was much more of a "master and pupil" than an actual "sparring partner" thing...

Considering the characters available, the PT should take this. Chrollo alone could hold his own against Silva and Zeno (with Zeno admittedly risking his own life) and he has the numbers in his advantage. I feel that the likes of Uvo and Franklin will wipe the floors with the weaker members of...

Kamusari was just a technique Roger developed (or learned, not sure if it's a Gol Family or a D thing)... Rayleigh developed/learned his own style differently. Shanks was Roger's apprentice, so he naturally learned his mentor's technique. If Rayleigh parallels Zoro in his fighting techniques...

Since the manga was in the middle of Alabasta back in 2001, here are my bets: The top left woman is obviously a proto design of Hancock. The middle guy is the hardest one to guess. The SBS-introduced Shichibukai (Hanafuda) seems to be the closest. The bottom guy looks like a proto giant...

Good point. Now that I checked the abilities better, Ripper Cyclotron may need 2 hands to activate too, but I'm not sure (Chrollo's lack of proficiency in enhancement may also weaken the ability). The ideal for Chrollo with God's Alibi would be a surekill, close-range, ability... maybe something...

As Chrollo can only use 2 abilities at once (besides Bandit's Secret + Bookmark), God's Alibi (Meleoron) + Scream (Knov) would be the perfect deal to make him invincible IMO... there's nothing I can think of to counter that combination (Ripper Cyclotron could also replace Scream). Plus, he...

Definitely the Gorosei. Not sure if it's just one of Oda's size inconsistencies, but even Saturn, the smallest Gorosei, looks huge in chapter #1122. We have Sunny and Big Mom as the comparison points in regard to the characters' size: Big Mom isn't bigger than the Sunny, while the Gorosei are...
