The Phantom Troupe’s DISTURBING Backstory Revealed 😨 #hunterxhunter #animeanxiety

[lelozulu]

there’s a letter inside the bag that the other members can’t read besides Chrollo cause he’s the only one who knows how to read and is multilingual

[joem]

Since he didn’t mention it in the video, they were originally the “Fan Dub Troupe” -> “phantom troupe”. Their goal ends up being to turn meteor city into a cesspool for the criminal underworld to lure out the ones who murdered Sarasa.

HxH needs to come back or we are doomed

[afrikasmith]

So basically Kurapika lost his whole family because a group of thugs tortured and killed an innocent child who just wanted to make other kids happy. Just goes to show you that having nice things is hard, but starting a cycle of violence and tragedy is super easy.

[MasterChef]

He was the only ine to see her corpse and the only one to read the letter he would rather die then reveal what happened to his friends

[mysticmongrel]

Personal prediction is that when Chrollo finds her killer, which he likely knows the identity now, and it's likely on the Black Whale, he's going to quote it to the guy verbatim. And when the guy doesn't remember, Chrollo is going to re-enact Sarasa's death on the killer, but more slowly

The phantom troupe”Oh no it’s terrible😢

Also phantom troupe”Let’s do the same to a bunch of innocent people

[hurieconerly]

I like that most of them grew up together and isn’t just a collection of random sociopaths

[Ippo]

Personally, I think Chrollo not only wants revenge over the criminal group who committed the crime but also on everyone else. He doesn't just hate the criminals, he hates the whole picture, so he became the leader of the Phantom Troupe.

The world made them into monsters: And the monsters would give back twofold what they were dealt

[zeronos]

Also explains why they are pissed as fuck at the Chimera Ants on Meteor City.

Those guys are spitting the reason why they became evil.

When life gives you the worst character development.
From child voice actor to "no crime will be left uncommited"

[Cannabeknown]

Nothing can make me feel any type of pity for the phantom troupe after seeing what they did to Kurapika’s village. They deserve what they get and I can’t wait to see how him and Hisoka destroy them

[barathrum]

I wanna highlight the fact that this event is what made Uvogin the way he is. Sarasa saw through his heart and his true feelings, which he hid beneath a thick shell. Her death destroyed him and made him very protective over his comrades, especially the younger and weaker ones. That’s why he fights better when he has someone to protect and that’s why he chose death over betraying the Troupe.
In other words, he became the Troupe’s big brother.

[meatrider]

His parents done set him up for failure cuz his surname is "lucifer"

[CrippleEdits]

All heros and villain have the same backstory but their path is what makes them different
A hero got hurt by the world but it protects it to not let any other people get hurt again
A villain got hurt by the world but he decide to hurt the world back
-best example of phantoum troupe

[pigit]

Funny part is that thats basically exactly likr kurapika

[Tempus]

It now makes sense why they never outright killed Killua and Gon... Wow.

[ifyourecognizethepfpthensubpls]

Bro this is INSANELY good storytelling. Basically, Chrollo had a very similar backstory to Kurapika where he begins his path with vengeance and loses himself on the way, very similar to Kurapika and Gon with kite. The phantom troupe (as a result of chrollo’s rage) marked the beginning of Kurapika, s path of vengeance, starting a chain reaction. If that wasn’t enough, Kurapika’s nen ability is LITERALLY using chains, and his nen master predicted that he would be the one eventually chained down.

[joeygomez]

This anime/manga legit has the potential to be one of the best. Like the world building and side characters are too good. You can branch off from Gon and Killua and it would still be peak asf
