User blog comment:Jojo-a-gogo/Do you guys ever wonder why Hisoka wasn't in the Ant arc?/@comment-4942690-20130105233704/@comment-5314364-20130106114646

I'm NOT saying Hisoka needs to be in every arc,I just thought it was ironic that Togashi made an arc filled with battles and Hisoka (the most battle savy person in the series aside from Netero) was no where to be seen. I'm fine with him not being in an arc or two.

Personally,I love the Chimera Ant arc as it is(it's my fav arc in the whole series) .Even if he was in it,it's not like he had to "be with" Gon and Killua during the arc. He could have appeared with his own agenda and he could have fought ants in  a different location like how every one else was in the arc.
