i hope this doesnโt come across as rude in any way at all but i do feel like iโve kinda got to defend chikage in a way.
chikage has been made to believe that hisoka was at fault, that hisoka killed august. that the fact that his family had fallen apart was all because of hisoka - he knows nothing about what has happened. all he sees is someone he once called his brother living his best life after killing august.
now obviously chikage goes about his revenge plan completely the wrong way, but heโs filled with so much anger that hisoka is alive after supposedly killing august and sadness that august is no longer around. he wants hisoka to be alone, just how chikage has been alone since the incident happened. and the best way to chikage is to destroy the one place hisoka now calls home.
just because chikage is a good liar doesnโt necessarily mean heโs gonna know when someone else is lying, especially when heโs been forced to believe and has accepted that hisoka was the one at fault. when hisoka says he doesnโt remember, to chikage, whoโs still angry, that seems like an excuse.
again, iโm really not trying to be rude or mean at all!! and iโm also not defending what chikage did at all because it is wrong, but you do have to try and understand why chikage acted how he did.

Itโs totally fine LOL! I feel like half of the people on my post were either agreeing with me in the tags or saying what youโre saying anyway ๐
I feel like people are misunderstanding what I was trying to say, I was just answering the anonโs question on โwhat chikage didโ because in a previous post of mine I said something like, โGood thing heโs not telling the rest of Mankai what he did-!โ (Not like a โwhy did chikage...?โ, yโknow?)
Another is that I didnโt know the motivations (or emotions) behind his actions, I DO!! I truly do understand the reasons why Chikage felt and did the actions that he did (not to brag but I figured it out pretty quickly a little before the game explained stuff), I just didnโt add the reasons to the post to (A.) avoid more spoilers and just get to the juicy stuff the anon probs wanted and (B.) cause I just wanted to roast him and I like Hisoka a lot ๐
Itโs my own fault for that though due to my shitpost language, though I really appreciate the explanation of Chikageโs motivations in lettering! ๐
The โliarโ thing however is something Iโd generally want to debate (or like discuss with ppl in this fandom because, letโs be real, plot talks arenโt really a thing...?). Iโm assuming the organization had a lot of spying and secret missions, and thatโs why Chikage (to go along with his own issue obviously) is such a โnaturalโ actor ๐ค
So, I still genuinely think he still shouldโve been able to tell Hisoka wasnโt lying at least about the memory!! But honestly, I could except the excuse that his judgement was clouded by the information the organization gave him/his own conflicting emotions or that Hisoka is just too blank-faced to tell most of the time ๐
Glad you agree what Chikage did was wrong as well, I mean... I feel most people do, even the cabbage simps ๐ฅฌ I donโt even hate him, like heโs an interesting character- just still find him a bit ๐ฌ, which I suppose as I said is a personal opinion on whether or not he redeems himself by motivations/ending! But thank you for the explanations and the content, my dude ๐
