"Hunter x Hunter" chapter 357 will witness one of these two likelihoods — Hisoka will resort to blasting himself off which might be the ultimate way for him to finally end Chrollo, or he will win over Chrollo without having to sacrifice his life but instead by way of realizing and putting into effect his powers at the most extreme. Given this circumstance, "Hunter x Hunter" followers are left wondering if the next chapter will be the last for the story arc involving the combat between Hisoka and Chrollo.

"Hunter x Hunter" chapter 356 ended with a colossal explosion. This led avid fans to several speculations which, in turn, are narrowed down to either Hisoka defeating Chrollo and living on or Hisoka taking down Chrollo and losing his life in the process. Some readers deduce that Hisoka will jeopardize himself in order to triumph over Chrollo, while some refuse to believe that Hisoka will die through self-destruction. Whichever the outcome may be, what many generally agreed to believe is that "Hunter x Hunter" chapter 357 will witness the ultimate conclusion of the clash between Hisoka and Chrollo. After all, the chapter's last panel left fans with the cliffhanging question, "What is the outcome of this death match?"

Hisoka is a magician that operates on playfulness and deceit only fulfilling his personal interests. Although innately selfish and conceited with records of violence and killings, Hisoka has been both an ally and a foe to Gon. Because of this, his character has acquired a significant share of popularity among fans throughout the series. And if he will have to be killed off in the "Hunter x Hunter" chapter 357, Hisoka will then lose the opportunity to finally face Gon in an ultimate fight which he has always expressed interest in.

On the other hand, Chrollo is the leader of Phantom Troupe which he primarily formed for purposes of committing theft although the purpose of their stolen items remains unknown. Not only does he steal objects, Chrollo is also able to steal abilities of other Nen users. According to a review by Deoxy360, his theory is that in the event that Chrollo survives the death match he will decide to head to the Dark Continent bringing with him the Phantom Troupe. It will make an interesting plotline considering that the group is known for its expertise in stealing.

For now there is a divide between fans as they wait for the release of "Hunter x Hunter" chapter 357. They will then find out if the hunter whom they are rooting for will be the one to come out standing at the end of the death match.
