Chapter 377: Scheme is out now. I know I keep saying this but, wow. What a chapter. Since last time I wanted to keep it short, it ended up being long. However, this time, I'll keep it short by saying what happens in bullet point form, more or less.

Kachou has an idea to perform at the banquet along with Fugetsu and Melody. However, it's all just a ploy to escape! Keechi, an Association Hunter serving as another one of Kachou's bodyguards, tells Melody about the time Fugetsu visited Kachou in her bed. (Yes, I know how that sounds.) He felt knew about it through his En, which he is struggling to keep up. Melody finds this to be useful to the plan, but worries about Kachou's GSB, since it hasn't shown itself.

Meanwhile, on the 5th floor, the Phantom Troupe are sitting at a table, discussing their search for Hisoka (who is apparently over 190cm now...) and Illumi is there, too. Apparently, Hisoka contracted Illumi to kill him and told him to join the Troupe. (Y'know, if I were being hunted down by acriminal organization after killing two of their members after almost being killed by their leader after chasing said leader around for months after finding someone to lift a curse on said leader so I could fight him after not getting to fight him because of said curse after infiltrating his group for years, I would hire my best friend (supposedly) to kill me and ask him to join the criminal organization that is hunting me down. It's only natural, right?) OOH! And we get last names for the Troupe! (Not gonna put them here because the information is already on the site. Though, I am curious if Feitan learned his last name at some point [cause I seem to remember he didn't know his last name or birthday] or maybe he just made it up to be cool? I guess we'll never know.)

As the PT are talking, the Rose Gang Mafia (so called because of the roses they have tattooed on their bodies) politely asks the PT to move because the table they're sitting at is reserved for them. The Rose Gang Mafia also suggests, after some "getting to know you" dialogue, that they work together in finding what the PT are looking for. The Rose Gang Mafia also asks the PT to join them, but Chrollo declines and the Troupe walks away. At one point, they break off to find Hisoka but Shizuku and Bonolenov ask to team up with Chrollo. Chrollo gives them the condition that he kills Hisoka if they find him. They are just fine with that and tell Chrollo of how they will contribute. Shizuku also asks if Chrollo can read her fortune again, but Chrollo says he can't because it disappeared from his book.

Well, Neon's dead. We don't know how she died or if Kurapika knows she's dead but the implication here is that she's dead. I guess the only thing left to say is RIP Neon. Also, I don't thnk that Shizuku's comment on Chrollo's book being like a Death Note is inaccurate, since people seem to die from having their abilities in the book.
