Hunter x Hunter: Pain Packer pt 2
so there's the idea that's been on my mind that pain packer can also feed off of feitan's emotional pain which is arguably much more potent than physical pain for him.
this point is great because i have thought about it before but now its manifested in something im going to call Pain Packer: Mortem Vindicta. aka Revenge of the Dead.
so hear me out okay. feitan is a very emotionally constipated little man and the most we've seen him show is anger and frustration. i believe this has to do with his past, specifically with his fascination in torture- which is a very different story.
emotional pain will probably only ever come if someone he cares about gets hurt or killed, and he's able to shut that pain off if the needs of the spider come first. see, feitan's willingness to sacrifice chrollo so that the troupe wouldn't suffer any more losses.
i dont doubt he mourned paku. he has her memories and her reasonings and he'll give her the respect even if he doesn't agree with her.
shalnark on the other hand or if something happened to phinks, i think he'd lose all of that rationale. i also think the more brutal the death the more he cares. since he values pain, he'd know how much it hurts to die in certain ways.
tldr: he feels very differently about shalnark's death than he does paku's or kortopi's. they both died quickly.
so mortem vindicta is him taking inventory of how the ones he cared about died. maybe even just the members of the troupe that died- since we know there were six total members that have died since its foundation. maybe even seven if we want to include sarasa. and this is a one time move that he will pull out based on all of that collective suffering.
maybe something like imitating the wounds on himself and then letting those perfectly built walls come down. the one time ever that feitan will let himself show sympathy for the fallen and it's to take the ultimate revenge on anyone of his choosing, but i feel like if he DID have this power he would choose his target wisely.
HOW it would manifest is something i did not think about but id love to hear some ideas.
grrr feitan....
