Chapter Summaries

Moro killed Franklin and Uvogin, then continued working with Hisoka to hunt the Troupe while Illumi collected Hisoka’s debt. A week later, Chrollo searched Ryuuou Country during its Obon Festival and finally located the target he had been seeking near the mountain summit.

• Moro burned Franklin and Uvogin’s pulverized corpses and told Hisoka to keep gathering information about the Troupe.
• Hisoka received Moro’s message, then borrowed one billion from him to pay Illumi; Illumi left without revealing that he had accepted a deposit from Chrollo.
• Kalluto regretted forgetting to search Franklin and Uvogin’s bodies for money, while Moro agreed to lend Hisoka the funds because Hisoka had helped them.
• A week later, Chrollo searched Ryuuou Country during the Obon Festival for a person matching the conditions of his Love Dial ability.
• As Chrollo climbed the lantern-lined mountain path, Love Dial reported that the target had been found some distance away near the summit.

Chrollo’s group stole Souya’s Yellow Springs Mirage after killing Rokuhei, then departed while worrying that Franklin and Uvogin had also gone missing. As the Phantom Troupe gathered, Hisoka finally told Moro about the assembly, and Moro and Kalluto neared Phinks’s location.

• Souya used Yellow Springs Mirage to strip Banshō’s lingering Nen intent and implant its memories into Rokuhei, who gained the former wielder’s sword insights.
• Machi and Pakunoda ambushed Rokuhei with threads and gunfire, creating an opening for Chrollo to kill him and confront Souya.
• Chrollo’s group stole Souya’s ability and sailed away, while Pakunoda reported that Franklin and Uvogin had been unreachable for two days.
• Chrollo suspected a hidden enemy could track the Troupe and planned to use Yellow Springs Mirage on Feitan’s corpse to identify the killer.
• Hisoka delayed passing along the Phantom Troupe’s assembly order for two days before informing Moro, who hurried with Kalluto toward Phinks.

Moro and Kalluto intercepted Phinks and Shizuku on their way to the Phantom Troupe gathering, and the two sides exchanged attacks without either gaining a decisive advantage. Phinks dismissed Moro’s attacks as harmless, while Moro deliberately held back to make him underestimate their strength.

• Moro and Kalluto pursued Phinks and Shizuku through the wasteland and forced their car to stop.
• Phinks and Shizuku got out to fight, and Phinks said they should finish the battle within ten seconds.
• Moro used smoke and Flying Stars to attack, while Kalluto struck with a paper spike and Kurapika tried to bind Shizuku with his Index Finger Binding Chain.
• Shizuku used Evil Eye to clear the smoke, escaped the chain, and dodged a second barrage of Flying Stars.
• Phinks charged through Moro’s attacks toward Kalluto, but the Flying Stars and explosions slowed him without injuring him.
• Phinks called Moro’s attacks too weak to scratch him, while Moro continued holding back to make Phinks underestimate him.

Moro used his Nen abilities and knowledge of Phinks’s fighting style to turn Phinks’s charge against him. He left Phinks mortally wounded and advanced toward him as Shizuku watched in shock.

• Moro used Star Brilliance Condensation to read Phinks’s attack and evade his hand blade with Gazelle Step.
• Moro threw the Crimson Jade Bird Blade, then struck Phinks with energy released from the Sheath of Abyssal Containment.
• Phinks began charging Ripper Cyclotron while Shizuku used Evil Eye’s suction to pull him away from Moro and toward Kurapika and Kalluto.
• Moro used Flying Star Jump to attack from beneath Phinks as he moved, pulverizing his lower body and sending him flying.
• Moro approached the gravely wounded Phinks and asked whether it itched while Shizuku stared in shock.

Moro killed Phinks and caught up with the fleeing Shizuku, raising Annual Rings to Lv.62 after killing two Phantom Troupe members. With four Spiders dead, he planned to focus his training on Nen techniques while waiting for Hisoka's feedback before making another move.

• Moro provoked the dying Phinks by naming other dead Spiders, but Phinks died without leaving behind post-death Nen; Annual Rings rose from Lv.59 to Lv.61.
• Shizuku fled through the smoke as Kurapika and Kalluto pursued her, but Moro caught up using Deceptive Flying Stars.
• Moro shattered Shizuku's glasses, struck her down, and killed her, raising Annual Rings to Lv.62.
• Moro reflected that training alone would not produce rapid growth and decided to focus on practical Nen techniques such as Flow and Ken.
• Kalluto and Kurapika helped dispose of Phinks's body by burning the Spiders' car, while Moro recovered the Crimson Jade Bird Blade.
• Moro counted Franklin, Uvogin, Phinks, and Shizuku among the Spiders he had killed and decided to wait for Hisoka's feedback before acting again.

Chrollo used Amanda’s ability to reshape Feitan’s corpse so he could activate Yellow Springs Mirage and view Feitan’s final memories. The memories revealed Moro as the one who killed Feitan and Shalnark, and the Troupe prepared to track him down and kill him.

• Chrollo failed to use Yellow Springs Mirage on Feitan’s badly damaged corpse because it no longer retained an approximate shape.
• Chrollo waited for Amanda, whose ability reshaped Feitan’s corpse into a form that met the activation condition.
• Machi sewed Feitan’s head back onto his body, and Chrollo successfully extracted Feitan’s final memories with Yellow Springs Mirage.
• Chrollo watched Feitan’s memories and saw Moro use Nen Bullets and a star-like aura attack before burning Feitan alive.
• Chrollo focused on studying Moro’s abilities and resolved to use the information to find and kill him.

Chrollo traced Feitan’s memories to Moro and planned to share the information with the Phantom Troupe through Pakunoda’s Memory Bullets. As the group gathered, Chrollo used the fifth bullet to shoot Hisoka, whose role as an informant Illumi had revealed, and Hisoka collapsed to the floor.

• Chrollo found Moro’s face in Feitan’s memories, drew a portrait, and sent it to the intelligence network and Illumi.
• Illumi told Chrollo that Hisoka was an informant who had used Illumi’s Manipulation ability to alter his memories, then offered to share more information in exchange for two conditions.
• Uvogin and Nobunaga arrived at the morgue and learned that Phinks and the others were unreachable, leading Chrollo to declare that the Troupe must eliminate every threat.
• Pakunoda explained how her Memory Bullets could share Feitan’s memories and the intelligence about Moro, then fired bullets into Nobunaga, Uvogin, Machi, and Kortopi.
• Pakunoda fired a prearranged Nen Bullet as the fifth shot, striking Hisoka in the forehead and knocking him to the floor.

Pakunoda exposed Hisoka as the traitor, but Hisoka survived her Nen Bullet and fought his way into a trap arranged by Chrollo and Illumi. The Phantom Troupe killed Hisoka at the cost of injuries to Uvogin and Nobunaga, then prepared to move against Moro.

• Pakunoda declared Hisoka the traitor after shooting him with a lethal Nen Bullet, but Hisoka feigned near-death and escaped the first attacks from Nobunaga and Uvogin.
• Hisoka tried to flee the morgue, but Illumi, disguised as Hisoka, struck him and forced him back into the Phantom Troupe's encirclement.
• Illumi revealed that Chrollo had paid Hisoka's debt and used Nen-controlled doctors and patients to block the morgue entrance.
• Chrollo ordered the Phantom Troupe to kill Hisoka, who crushed his phone before fighting back against the group.
• The Phantom Troupe killed Hisoka, though Uvogin and Nobunaga were wounded, and Illumi confirmed Hisoka's phone and SIM card were destroyed.
• Illumi warned Chrollo that Moro had proposed the memory-alteration plan, and Chrollo resolved to act against Moro directly.

After learning that Hisoka had died and the Phantom Troupe had likely discovered their identities, Moro fled with Kurapika and Kalluto, gathering allies and arranging a private airship. At a refueling stop, Illumi appeared as Hisoka and demanded that Kalluto return home while Chrollo and the Troupe approached.

• Moro sensed that Hisoka’s star mark had vanished and concluded that Hisoka was dead and the Troupe had probably exposed their identities.
• Moro woke Kurapika and Kalluto, bought the innkeeper’s car, and drove them toward Mount Pinyin while arranging a private airship and asking Kanzai and Biscuit for help.
• Kalluto invited Moro and Kurapika to seek refuge with the Zoldyck family, but Moro postponed the decision until they reached Mount Pinyin.
• Moro met Biscuit’s terms for joining them, then drove for five days to the airport and flew toward Mount Pinyin with Kurapika and Kalluto.
• At a refueling stop, Illumi approached disguised as Hisoka, dodged Moro’s attack, and told Kalluto to come home or his friends would face his Nen needles.
• Kalluto realized Illumi had betrayed them as Chrollo and the Troupe approached, while Zilva watched from a distance.

Illumi took Kalluto away from the battlefield, leaving Moro and Kurapika to face the Phantom Troupe. Moro’s attempt to escape turned into a counterattack that killed Pakunoda and shattered Chrollo’s composure.

• Illumi knocked out Kalluto and carried him away after Moro let him go, then admitted that the Phantom Troupe had hired him to kill Moro and that he had exposed Hisoka as the mole.
• Moro and Kurapika faced Uvogin, Nobunaga, Machi, Chrollo, Kortopi, and Amanda as the Troupe advanced and prepared corpse puppets.
• Moro launched a barrage of Flying Stars and used Nen to carry himself and Kurapika into the air, while Nobunaga and Machi pursued them and Kurapika knocked both from the air with his chain.
• Chrollo used Put Yourself in Their Shoes to swap Moro and Kurapika with two headless puppets, but Moro used Flying Star Jump to attack Chrollo and Pakunoda.
• Chrollo dodged Moro’s attack, but Pakunoda was struck and torn apart below the waist, leaving Chrollo staring at her body and realizing his exchange with Illumi had been a mistake.

Moro and Kurapika fought the Phantom Troupe after Moro killed Pakunoda, but Chrollo’s tactics and an endless army of headless corpses trapped them. Moro ended the chapter preparing to risk Star Brilliance Condensation to create an opening for Star Mark Transfer.

• Moro killed Pakunoda, gained a level, and provoked Chrollo, whose grief settled into renewed killing intent.
• Moro identified Kortopi and Amanda as the source of the headless corpse army and realized he needed to eliminate one of them to escape the encirclement.
• Moro attacked the corpse army and charged toward Chrollo, but Chrollo used Fragile Thing to interrupt his advance and let Uvogin close in.
• Kurapika intercepted Uvogin with his conjured chain, and Nobunaga joined Uvogin while Machi moved to support Chrollo.
• Moro kept blasting the endless headless corpses as Chrollo maintained control of the battlefield, leaving Moro to consider gambling on Star Brilliance Condensation and Star Mark Transfer.

Moro tested Chrollo’s forced-displacement ability and confirmed it could not be used consecutively, then used a returning Deceptive Flying Star to strike Chrollo and create an opening. He moved to plant a Star Mark on a headless corpse, aiming to transfer it to Kortopi or Amanda.

• Moro activated Star Brilliance Condensation, but Chrollo used Put Yourself in Another's Place to displace him into the headless corpses and Moro cut off the ability before their information overwhelmed his mind.
• Moro escaped upward and saw Amanda’s controlled corpses form a rapidly fused human ladder beneath him.
• Moro threw a Deceptive Flying Star to test whether Chrollo could displace him again, then confirmed Chrollo’s ability could not be used consecutively when Chrollo attacked with thrown corpses instead.
• Moro struck the returning Deceptive Flying Star toward Kortopi and Amanda, but Chrollo blocked it with Sweetheart Guard and was driven backward.
• Moro tore free of the corpses, returned to the ground, and charged toward the outskirts to plant a Star Mark on a headless corpse.

Moro fought Chrollo, Machi, and the headless corpses while trying to create an opening to kill a Troupe member. He turned a flying star against himself to escape Machi’s trap and killed Amanda, transferring the star mark to Kortopi.

• Moro used Star Brilliance Condensation to mark a headless corpse, then escaped the giant hand formed from the corpses with Flying Star Jump.
• Machi attacked Moro and secretly wrapped an aura thread around his arm, but Moro detected and severed it before landing among the headless corpses.
• Chrollo and Machi pressured Moro with attacks while the corpses swarmed him; Moro blocked Chrollo’s poisoned dagger and used the Sheath of Abyssal Containment to recover his Crimson Jade Bird Blade.
• Machi bound Moro with aura threads and severed limbs, but Moro fired a flying star into the mass around himself, creating an explosion that let him escape.
• Moro redirected another flying star toward Kortopi and Amanda; it struck Amanda and killed her, transferring the star mark to Kortopi.

Moro killed Amanda and Kortopi in quick succession, using an Essence Drain Flying Star to recover from Machi’s injuries and gain a level. As Machi prepared to attack him again, both fighters reacted to Chrollo turning to deal with Kurapika.

• After Amanda died, Moro saw the Star Mark transfer to Kortopi and chose to fire an Essence Drain Flying Star at him while engaging Machi.
• Machi trapped Moro in a concealed Nen net, pierced his arm, and attacked his heart, but Moro launched the Crimson Jade Bird Blade from its sheath and broke free.
• Moro’s Essence Drain Flying Star pierced Kortopi’s head, killing him and healing Moro’s injuries as he advanced from level 63 to 64.
• Machi saw Kortopi dead and Moro’s arm healing, then grew furious as Moro faced her without retreating.
• Moro and Machi stopped as they noticed Chrollo turn to deal with Kurapika.

Kurapika fought Uvogin and Nobunaga to a stalemate, exploiting their lingering injuries until Chrollo intervened with a poisoned-dagger attack. Kurapika survived the ambush but was badly hurt, while Machi kept Moro from reaching him as both battles reached a critical point.

• Kurapika recognized that Uvogin and Nobunaga's old injuries made their movements stiff and focused his attacks on Nobunaga's wounded left side.
• Kurapika's Scarlet Eyes helped him pressure the pair and inflict damage, but Chrollo joined the fight and stabbed him in the back with a poisoned dagger.
• Kurapika's re-manifested chain knocked him away from Chrollo's strike, and his Soul-Chasing Chain deflected Chrollo's thrown dagger and Nobunaga's sword.
• Uvogin found an opening in Kurapika's automatic defense and struck him hard enough to break bones and leave him severely injured.
• Kurapika used the Chain of Healing to treat his wounds and purge the poison, while Machi blocked Moro from coming to his aid.

Moro fought Machi while Kurapika held off Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Chrollo. Moro exploited Machi’s wounded arm and the Sheath of Abyssal Containment to kill her, while Kurapika’s desperate struggle continued elsewhere.

• Kurapika used Chain of Healing to recover and resolved to buy Moro more time against Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Chrollo.
• Moro used Star Brilliance Condensation and Flying Star Jump to counter Machi, then wounded her arm with the Crimson Jade Bird Blade.
• Moro evaded Machi’s Nen threads and stopped her from stitching her wound, forcing her to keep fighting while injured.
• Moro pressed Machi’s wounded arm and drove the Crimson Jade Bird Blade toward her throat, but she caught it in Nen threads.
• Moro activated the Sheath of Abyssal Containment, sending the blade through Machi’s jaw and skull and killing her.

Moro arrived in time to save Kurapika from Chrollo, Uvogin, and Nobunaga, but Chrollo switched their positions and Moro took the deadly attack instead. Kurapika died after binding Nobunaga and being struck by Chrollo, then his post-death Chain of Healing revived Moro and restored his injuries.

• Moro killed Machi and rushed to help Kurapika, who was near death under the combined attacks of Chrollo, Uvogin, and Nobunaga.
• Chrollo used Put Yourself in Their Shoes to switch Moro and Kurapika, causing Uvogin and Nobunaga to severely injure Moro while Chrollo attacked Kurapika.
• Kurapika bound Nobunaga with the Index Finger Binding Chain, allowing Moro to seize Nobunaga's blade and behead him.
• Chrollo struck Kurapika while Kurapika was unguarded, and Kurapika died after seeing visions of his family and speaking with Moro.
• Kurapika's post-death Nen attached to Moro, and the Chain of Healing restored Moro's injuries and regrew his left arm.

Moro used deceptive Emission attacks and improvised weapons to draw Uvogin away and pressure Chrollo. His combined Flying Star Jump attack blasted off Uvogin’s legs, leaving him effectively defeated as the fight with Chrollo continued.

• Moro recalled Kurapika’s healing Nen, steadied himself, and launched into the air to lure Uvogin into chasing him.
• Moro blasted Uvogin higher with the Sheath of Abyssal Containment, then rushed Chrollo and attacked with a long-handled saber made from Nobunaga’s sword and the sheath.
• Moro used the chained sword to interrupt Chrollo’s attempts to activate abilities from Master of Stealth, then struck him with punches and an Emission shockwave.
• Moro fired Deceptive Flying Stars Twin at Chrollo, but Uvogin intercepted the attack and destroyed one flying star with his Super Destruction Fist.
• Moro crouched to let the returning flying star hit Uvogin, then combined it with Flying Star Jump to blast apart Uvogin’s legs.

Moro defeated Uvogin, but Chrollo used Death Resonance to trigger an explosion that engulfed Moro. Both survived and fought on, with Moro tearing off Chrollo’s left arm as the battle ended with the Phantom Troupe leader gravely wounded.

• Moro used a barrage of Flying Star attacks to pulverize Uvogin’s legs and send him airborne.
• Uvogin used his hand to anchor himself and punched Moro’s Deceptive Flying Star, then urged Chrollo to carry on.
• Chrollo activated Death Resonance, and its mosquito-like Nen beast drained Uvogin’s aura and exploded just after Moro beheaded him.
• Moro burst from the explosion and clashed with Chrollo, gaining the advantage after his level rose from 66 to 67.
• Moro tore off Chrollo’s left arm, while Chrollo kicked Moro and sent him skidding away.

Moro fought Chrollo to the brink of defeat, but Illumi arrived with a horde of Needle People and attacked him. Chrollo displaced Moro to attack him himself, and Moro countered by plunging his fingers into Chrollo’s eyes before losing consciousness.

• Moro crushed Chrollo’s severed left arm and prepared to finish him off.
• Illumi arrived with more than a hundred Needle People and was shocked to find the Phantom Troupe nearly wiped out.
• Illumi ordered the Needle People to attack Moro, then struck him in the abdomen and sent him crashing into them.
• Chrollo used his ability to displace Moro in front of him and thrust his remaining hand toward Moro’s chest.
• Moro pressed his fingers into Chrollo’s eyes, then lost consciousness while thinking of absorbing the Nen from the Sheath of Abyssal Containment.
