A list of the sources used for this video (also available in the description): www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/1ic64x/interview_with_togashi_included_in_hxh_no_0/ www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/6quw2y/chrollo_lucilfer_themes_influences_and_context/ www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/5ft67n/chrollos_identity_crisis/ www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/5b5ksd/possible_meaning_behind_kurapikas/ EDIT: I want to add a couple of points that I didn't say in the video but that make this interpretation even stronger. Firstly - my claim that Chrollo believes in fatalism is reinforced by a tradition that the Spider use for settling disputes: flipping a coin. An act totally based in chance/luck - or if you believe in what Chrollo does, fate. Secondly, something that a commenter put forth that is actually a great point to add to this - "Chrollo stopped viewing Hisoka as a Spider when Hisoka took off the fake-tattoo to fight Chrollo (since Chrollo could reveal his situation to Hisoka). And then accepted his fight when it is forbidden for spiders to fight among themselves. So while Chrollo may have been fascinated with Hisoka he doesn't consider Hisoka part of himself anymore." Cheers to Psycho3418 for bringing this idea up. ALSO - I referred to Chrollo as deterministic, and while that may be true, the more appropriate term would be fatalistic. There is a distinction between those two terms and while one can argue for both, Chrollo falls more under the latter. I used the both terms here but probably should have leaned on "fatalistic." Just a small note there.

Man this makes his nen ability make a lot more sense. He doesn't have an identity internalized and is in search of one, that's why he steals other's nen which is always an extension of their identity. He has no identity so when his nen (an extension of one's true nature) manifests, it steals what is around and accumulates them inside but it's never enough because he can't fill an identity externally.

I always understood Chrollo’s assessment of Judas and the traitor as such: Hisoka and Judas aren’t traitors because they don’t betray their own inner goals and sense of self. At heart, Hisoka was never loyal to Troupe; he joined out of his own self-interest and hedonistic desire to challenge Chrollo. Similar to Judas, who of the twelve disciples harbored a greater selfishness, Hisoka’s actions stay true to his loyalty to his own ambition and greed, never failing to betray his loyalty to his own identity, which Chrollo (as you outlined in your video) likely respects and values highly.

the error that chrollo makes on the airship w/ kurapika is, while understanding his own love for the spider bc it represents him, he underestimates just how much some of the members love HIM as an individual. This is seen when machi, nobunaga and pakunoda all risk their lives and the spider as a whole to save him. Definitely the most touching scene in the arc

We all know Chrollo is just a pawn in Rookie Crusher Tonpa's masterplan

Idk if you say this or not im 20 minutes in but i think rather than a leg, hisoka is a parasyte within the spider, not representing chrollo but something that eats him apart, limb by limb, literally, the parasyte attempted to go straight for the head but failed, and so it must whither it down first, it relies on the spider to live, but the spider must die in order for its purpose to be fulfilled

Great analysis, especially the part at the end. I would add that chrollo's favouritism of hisoka comes down how (releativly) free Hisoka is.Where chrollo's is bound by fate seeking identity and purpose, no other character is so sure and fully aware of themselves and their actions as hisoka. I wouldn't be surprised if he looks on to him a bit enviously, and is disrespectful attitude is tied to the true freedom and purpose the spiders lack, chrollo's wishes to have and hisoka has in spades.

Zetsubou Junko Ben Tenyson could one shot chrollo

That part about Chrollo's personality reflecting his Nen power is AMAZING! 11/10 analysis! FFVII Forgotten Capital theme. The chills... Amazing video!

Came here to learn who Chrollo was.....Left with a personal existential crisis wondering where my place is in life. 10/10 would nihilist again.

Chrollo is such an interesting character

This has made me love Chrollo even more

If we ever get there I think it would be interesting if chrollo turned out to be the last surviving member of the spider and in a rematch against hisoka he develops a new and unique hatsu independent of bandits secret unlike bookmark, to show that in his potentially final moments he finally grasped something of an identity that is uniquely his and no one else's. Something that could reflect the pain hisoka brought upon him, which could even cause him to stray from the belief everything is predestined the fight could end either way but I think him losing and dying would be a better end to his character

Damn it... do you know that feeling you have when you hear an analysis or a theory so excellent and consistent that you can't help but feel that it's the real truth? That's what I'm feeling right now. While I'm really happy about finally finding out who Chrollo is and what his role in the story is I can't help but feel a bit bitter about it. From now on I will never be able to come up with a theory or analysis of him ever again without taking this master stroke of a character analysis/theory into account. As Meruem would say: "An individual can reach his limit after much training. You are a rare example of one who has transcended that limit. Bravo. You have earned my praise."

The best character evaluation of Chrollo on KZread!

Possibly the most genius thematic analysis for one of the most poetically written character. Meruem and Chrollo were truly works of art ib my eyes, but the depth that chrollo adds with his ideals in contraste to Meruems ignorance is... Purely poetic. When watching the anime for the first time I looked at chrollo and even though you could tell he's strong, you can see just how intense he really is, and later on you can see how mellow he can get when it comes to the troupe. The way expresses himself throughout the Yorknew Art is both bizarre and poetic.

@@user-me2xo2iu3m Nah, Chrollo is destined to die, because his character's existence is eventually incompatible with the existence of two main characters, Kurapika and Hisoka. Hisoka is by all means the 5th main character in HxH (Like Kakashi is the 4th in Naruto), and his rivalry with Gon is now the longest running narrative of the series (now that Gon has finally met Ging), and for now his sole purpose is hunting down the troupe, and Kurapika's whole existence revolves around the same thing. I can see Kurapika dying in some sort of mutual destruction against Chrollo, but there's no justification for Hisoka to die as well.

Oh my god, so much wrong with this analysis! Ok first off....nah I'm just playin =P. It was excellent. I've always had a Sensui vibe from Chrollo but never considered Chrollo's "sense of self" being within each of the Spider in the way that Sensui has multiple personalities. There's little info on Chrollo so for you to discern so much so well is truly a testament to your love of the series and to your talent.

Damn I'd always thought he was just provoking Kurapika when he said that, even with Melody there. Never considered it to be a serious statement until this video.

One other thing I thought was interesting but wasn't touched upon is like.. Why does chrollo hold onto antique books and like machi says, loves collecting them? My guess besides the art hoe aesthetic is that antique objects have a charm to them because they evoke a time long gone- it is an artifact of history. And history is about as telling of humanities fate, as knowing about its future... But obviously, history is more universal than it is personal, that's why he can't extract some sense of identity from them, but they definitely aid him in a greater goal of answering the existential questions he's still struggling with at the age of 26... He knows the past, or at least desires to know and be in touch with it, in the same way he desires to know the future, his fate. Only when we have looked into both, can we set our own lives in the context of time, and understand it

Something struck me while watching this. Hisoka is obviously very self destructive in nature, and by welcoming him as a part of the spider, the spider took that on part of his character as well with the deaths of Shalnark and Cortopi at the hands of another member of the spider, Hisoka.

Yet another Great Video. It’s one I’ve been looking forward to for a while, and I was not disappointed at all. Love the ending quotes. Really makes you wonder just how far ahead Togashi plans things and just how incredible his genius truly is.

Well, I've gotta say. At the very least your analysis was very satisfying. It served to fill in the gaping hole and lack of understanding that I previously had of Chrollo and I'm truly satisfied. Despite the occasional disagreement I had with a few of your minor points it was clear A LOT of work and love was put into this video, you covered a lot and we're able to satiate my curiosity for the time being. Whilst I feel a little was still left out for instance, the light symbolisms that exist within Chrollo and the Troupe you acknowledged the larger themes that Togashi had laid out. Whilst not much of an analysis based around the linguistics and literary devices used but one based simply on the words and actions (which make up the majority of an analysis) It was very well done. The three points you made about Chrollo essentially made Chrollo make sense. I love the fact that you addressed his deterministic qualities/features and his longing for an identity which had made him become so profoundly attached to the Troupe like the Troupe is a part of himself. Not only did you concisely and eloquently put together your thoughts and explanations but the evidence you used (the very little evidence Togashi has so far provided) had justified your points very, very well. Bravo, I can't wait for Togashi to get back from his current Hiatus to shed some more light on this enigma. Looking forward to some more of your videos. Your hard work and determination are a source of motivation for me, and no doubt many others.

Man after 397 I hope you do another character analysis on Chroll and the spider in general.

My pleasure!

I think Hisoka has started to attack the troupe because he's realized he'll never be able to have his 1 v. 1 battle against Chrollo while the troupe is alive. I think he's also upset that the troupe ruined his chance to fight Chrollo individually, so he wants to destroy the troupe by picking off each member before fighting Chrollo. Which makes sense because this would elevate the stakes of Hisoka's death match with Chrollo since Chrollo would (as stated in this video) be fighting for the only thing that really matters to him and be confronted with his only real fear: I.e., if Chrollo is the last member, then his final duel with Hisoka becomes more interesting for Hisoka because he'll have pushed Chrollo to the brink of fighting for the only thing he cares about--the troupe's existence. This is because if all other members are killed before Hisoka fights Chrollo, then the troupe dies if Chrollo dies. I'm sure Chrollo realizes this and will plan on gaining more recruits. I'm also interested to see how this intersects with Killua, Illumi, and the Zoldyck family at large--since Killua's sibling is a troupe member.
