Synopsis[]

Squala and Dalzollene try to convince Kurapika to reconsider capturing Uvogin, with Melody sensing that his heartbeat is full of anger and hatred. As Dalzollene stresses that it's an order and Kurapika continues to ignore him, they are all suddenly surrounded by fields and flowers for a split second. Melody is shown playing her flute, saying that the piece is called "A Field in Spring" and perfect for relaxation. She asks the others if they have calmed down and says that they should plan their strategy with level heads. Kurapika thanks her, but Melody senses that Kurapika is still intent on capturing Uvogin. He gets Dalzollene's attention and asks that he be allowed to try, saying that he stands a good chance.

It's stated that Shizuku is a Conjurer whose conjured vacuum cleaner (named Blinky) can suck up anything except what Shizuku considers alive. It's added that it can return the last thing it sucked up, and that Shizuku herself is unaware of where all the items go.

Chap 77 - Uvogin being captured

Uvogin being captured

As the injured Uvogin asks Shizuku to use Blinky to suck out all the poison and Shalnark asks the other Phantom Troupe members to steal a case of beer, chains are suddenly wrapped all over Uvogin's upper body and snatch him far away from his comrades. After Machi quickly throws out a needle with thread attached to it, the others guess that another Shadow Beast is responsible for the capture. Machi says that In makes her thread invisible unless they use Gyo or catch sight of the needle, assuring the others that it will track the target anywhere they go. They hurry to give chase before the captor notices the needle and thread, hoping to take out the rest of the Shadow Beasts and also remembering to find some beer for Uvogin.

As Uvogin sits chained in the back seat beside Squala, Kurapika drives the car with Melody sitting in the passenger seat. Uvogin gets Kurapika's attention and mocks his chains, adding that he will regret it later if he doesn't kill him now. After Uvogin refuses to be quiet after Kurapika orders him, the chains suddenly increase in size and strength. Kurapika turns around to face him and stresses that he needs to be quiet, with a panicked Melody telling Kurapika to keep his eyes on the road.

Chap 77 - Kurapika using Chain Jail to restrain Uvogin

Kurapika using Chain Jail to restrain Uvogin

Even though he's still paralyzed from the poison, Uvogin realizes that Kurapika has infused the Nen chain with enough power to restrain him. Kurapika confidently tells himself that he will only use his Chain Jail on the Spiders, adding that if he uses the ability on anyone else, he will immediately lose his life. He explains that he created a self-imposed restriction and says that the risk is worth the immense power in return.

Basho, Linssen, and Dalzollene notice the Troupe members quickly approaching in another car. Dalzollene talks to Melody by phone and tells them to speed up. After wondering how they found them since they're moving away from the city, Kurapika uses Gyo to spot Machi's Nen thread. Melody suddenly spots something on Uvogin's left calf and orders Squala to get rid of it. Squala tosses the needle out the window, and Machi immediately recognizes that they found it. As Shalnark confidently says that they are close enough now, Owl suddenly drops down on the hood of their car and uses his Fun Fun Cloth to wrap up the car, enveloping it and shrinking it down so he can hold it between just two fingers.

ShadowBeast

The remaining Shadow Beasts confronting the Troupe

With only Nobunaga trapped inside, Owl faces the other Troupe members and realizes how dangerous they are if they were quick enough to escape. Feitan says that Nobunaga was only captured because he was sitting in the middle seat, and Machi finds Owl's ability fascinating and impressive. Shalnark says that it would allow Owl to carry all the auction items in his pocket and that he can turn them back to their original size. Five other Shadow Beasts suddenly arrive, with one voicing his disappointment about the Troupe because of how weak they appear. Shizuku points out that if there are ten Shadow Beasts in total, they have encountered them all. Feitan says that the person with the chain is still in the car with Uvogin, and Shizuku then wonders whether they are a Shadow Beast or not. Feitan readies his Nen and replies that they just need to ask them to find out.
