User blog:Martialmaniac/Zzigg Zoldyck's fate?

WARNING: Contains spoilers for anime-watchers only.

In the last arc we glimpsed Isaac Netero, Linne and Zzigg in the Dark Continent. Now, we know that Netero and Linne made it back. What about Zzigg? We know he is not an active member of the family, since he was not present in the chart in which Killua explained the relationships between the Zoldycks. So, what happended tohim? Here is a list of possibilities. Which ones would you exclude? If you can come up with others, you are welcome to share them.



1- Zzigg is still in the Dark Continent. If I'm not mistaken, Isaac Netero's expedition was illegal, so it would be only natural for the vast majority of the Hunters not to know about it. I cannot really imagine him dead, since he seems such a powerful character, and since his two companions made it back alive. But then, why was he never shown with the rest of the Zoldyck family? My first guess, as stated above, is that he is still there. The only time we saw him he was completely ecstatic seeing the magnitude of the Dark Continent, as we can see in the picture. Perhaps he chose to stay there because he wanted a fresh challenge to his abilities every day, haing grown bored with killing small fries. He seems that kind of character to him. I'd totally love to see Gon and Killua meeting him in the DarkContinent. Maybe he is searching for the author of "Journey to the New World", perhaps he has even found him. To sum up, I think he is still alive, but he might well be dead by this point of the series.

2- Zzigg has fallen victim to one of the Five Great Calamities and cannot be cured. Netero does not look like the kind of person that would abandon him or take him home and shut him in a lab to be studied as he dies. He might still be agonizing in some dark, hidden chamber of the Zoldyck mansion. Probably his youngest descendants would not know about him, and Zeno or Silva might have preferred not to use Alluka's power due to the risk it poses, since they cannot control it.

3- Mixing hypothesis number one and two, Zzigg contracted the Zobae Disease and is still in the Dark Continent. However, if this was actually Don Freecss's case, I don't think Togashi would repeat it.

4- Zzigg died in the expedition.
