Hunter x Hunter

Hisoka should have fought Chrollo somewhere else instead of Heaven’s Arena.

The wishes were not the best example of writing but the implications of Nanika completely breaking what we know about Nen and tying into Ai and the Dark Continent just an arc later is pretty sick. Even at his worst, Togashi manages to save some of the more bullshit plot lines.
You do realise that the needle was planted there to make him fearful and run away when he encountered a battle he couldn't win, right? It wasn't designed to literally stop him from pulling it out.

The fight agains those darts fish was also an asspull
Not even gonna talk about Alluka
And all of his fights are the same
>turns on assasin mode
>arm becomes like that of a grandma
>swooshes in and rips head off
WOOOW SO COOOL

Killua was always capable of taking Rammot out. He was distraught at the time, the needle was seriously fucking him up. He then pulled it out, his mind cleared, and he went to take out Rammot straight away. He did NOT become super strong. Is this bait? Are you intentionally misinterpreting the story?

I'm scared of spiders but i'm stronger than them

If a spider is scaring you, you are not stronger

You can be fearful of a creature and be physically stronger than it at the same time. Is this too hard to comprehend?

the needle would make him run away if he wasn't sure could win. ie if he doubted himself

You are mixing up physical strength and willpower/life energy/Nen.
You are right, my Nen would be very weak, but i'm still stronger physically.
If you look at it from this perspective, that could actually explain why Killua was able to kill Rammot: removing the needle made his Nen stronger
