Anime and manga fans rejoice because "Hunter X Hunter" is back after a two-year break. This is what could possibly be Yoshihiro Togashi's tribute to diehard fans of the franchise.

Chapter 351 is titled "Deathmatch." The title itself gives a hint of what will transpire in the story. A character must either live or die in order to win a match or progress further. This, in essence, may put fans into grips with the series because there might be a chance their favorite character may die in the next chapters. Another question might arise which characters are involved in the match. As of the moment, this chapter presents a fight between Chrollo Lucifer and Hisoka. Fans that are waiting for a match between Gon and Killua might be disappointed to know they are not featured here. Hopefully, in the succeeding chapters there might be a glimpse of this highly anticipated fight.

Chapter 351 also shows fans how Hisoka uses his new ability with his Bungee gum while on the other hand, Chrollo shows what looks like a never-seen-before move. Unfortunately, the manga ends in a cliffhanger that might contain the details of this special move.

This ending prompted fans to rush to the internet and address their concerns that hopefully, the author doesn't kill either character. According to a Reddit post, some fans expressed that it is too soon if both or either character is killed. Others expressed that the plans of the author is to copy the elements from western movies or TV series like "Game of Thrones" where they take a fan favorite character and kill them somewhere before the end of the season. Other sites like a post in Manga Helper, presents some fan theory of what the special ability of Chrollo could be.

Whatever the case, it looks like attention is coming back to this beloved series. Fans of "Hunter X Hunter" would enjoy reading this and perhaps hope for an anime TV series once again.
