But that's mostly to leave more screen time for the other 2 main new characters. He's mainly a background villain and his story and arcs are pretty bad. The villain gets the shaft in the character development. Chronologically it seems to be before the series finale but that's only learned at the end so it makes the preceding events somewhat more confusing. Everybody gets their due and again it will mostly hit on an emotional level which is really where hunter x hunter has excelled. This is also a very Kuripika focused plot with his childhood best friend being another fantastic addition. This movie resolves one of the show's biggest problems with it being mainly a huge sausage fest. The new characters are great (except the villain). So expect to think about deep themes and cry is what i'm saying. The tone and pace are entirely derived from the latter arcs with less of a focus on action and fighting minutia and more of a focus on drama and characters dynamics. While it has the characters and dynamics or earlier arcs in the series with the phantom troupe being involved and having the classic foursome with Leorio and Kurapika. We now get a more serious and way too much tongue Hisoka. Instead of the fun sexually creppy hisoka from the series. The one character they do fail to represent is wildcard Hisoka. The action is much tighter and fluid and most characters retain their looks with almost no clear failure. It's made by a different studio to a mostly successful degree.
