User blog comment:Hisoka.Hisoka/Chrollo Lucilfer's Return/@comment-5780397-20160318181418

I think Chrollo is alive (it would be so anticlimatic if he had been killed offscreen), but I suspect Hisoka will try to trick the Troupe (and with them the reader) by telling them Chrollo is dead, so that they will hate him. In this sense, it's even better of the sword of judgment is still in place, as Chrollo couldn't tell the Troupe otherwise. So Hisoka could have his way with them, and perhaps tell the truth later on, exorcise Chrollo and then fight him.
