While I replying to JokerJay's thread about Hisoka and Illumi in the Chimera Ant arc, I was reminded of Hisoka's momentous batle with Chrollo. From that, I thought of this theory. Keep in mind that I have literally no evidence for this theory, but I feel that it is fun to talk about.

So, we all know that Hisoka lost to Chrollo in their match at Heaven's Arena. It appeared that Hisoka was dead, but in reality, he was "only mostly dead". Given recent chapters, it appears that Chrollo and the rest of the Troupe knew he wasn't dead. So, the crackpot late night theory goes like this:

Hisoka was fighting in the Heaven's Arena so one day, he could face Chrollo. We all know that was why he pretended to be part of the Troupe. So, after he had his fight with Chrollo, he was going to retire from the Heaven's Arena, since it was pretty obvious nobody there interested him that much (during the Heaven's Arena arc, we learn that all of his defeats were because of forfeit). Eventually, however, he had made it to the position of Floor Master. At some point, Chrollo did the same thing. So, what if, Hisoka's apparent "death" was his way of retiring from Heaven's Arena?

Again, no evidence. Just throwing it out there.
