User blog comment:Bennlimos/HxH Questions & Thoughts Discussion 9/@comment-48285-20141023171432

It's taken me a while to get to these questions, mostly because I've been busy with other things, but here I am now so here re my answers. First off, I'd like to say that I like some answers that were already given so I'll just put "I agree with" whoever wrote the answer I like. With that out of the way, here are my thoughts.

1. Really, it all depends on who wants to know more. Maybe some people just want to sell the licence or they don't want to take dangerous jobs. As for a percentage, it's really hard to say.

2. I like the answers provided by the others that said the Zoldycks hire butlers that are more experienced than Hunters. It could also be that Canary took them by surprise and just wiped them all out without giving them time to activate their Nen abilities. Or it could be that Seaquent was the only Hunter among them and the rest were just regular bounty hunters or something (I did research on the wiki and it doesn't mention anything about Seaquent's men being Hunters on either his or Canary's page and I don't want to check the anime/manga to see if it mentions it there) and Seaquent didn't get the chance to use his Nen. I'm sort of leaning towards a mixture of both: Seaquent was the only certified Hunter among the group and Canary just took them by surprise.

3. It could be that he was bored or it could be that, as Martial said, he was there looking after Kalluto. The only reason I can think of as to why Kalluto would have been there was because he was watching how to assassinate someone (or something like that; his first time in the field, so to speak).

4. I agree with what Marital said about the people who lose their Nen ability. If you had this really awesome ability and you win all the battles with it and suddenly it's gone, you wouldn't want to go out and fight the baddest dude around. Then again, all of the known abilities that he stole aren't used for direct confrontation. So, it's possible that he wouldn't steal an ability that's for direct confrontation.

5. Well, Hisoka defeated the previous #4 and Shizuku the previous #8 and that's how they got in to the Troupe. There wasn't a need for Paku to use her ability. Plus, "We reject no one."

6. Personally, I like the Zodiacs designs better. I just like that most of them changed their appearance to look like the animal they represent.

7. Owl went the way of all things from the past: forgotten by Togashi. Seriously, though, Owl probably did retire or died shortly after the battle between Chrollo and the Zoldycks.
