Let's shine a spotlight on the best Succession Contest theories
This sub has produced some crazy good theories about the current arc, some of which I would be profoundly disappointed if they didn't turn out to be canon.
I'm hoping for something more specific than "Mr. Silent Majority is outside of the room" (the hill I will die and be humiliated on) or "Chrollo will curbstomp Tserriednich" (my doomed prediction). I want stuff with meat on the bones!
And to name a couple of examples (links in the title):
HALKENBURG VS LUZURUS
/u/synec-0's absolutely GOATED theory that "Shkaku's" "suicide" was intended to draw one of Luzurus's guards to the doorphone and to signal to Halkenburg that someone was in fact standing there, allowing Halkenburg to shoot an arrow at that person.
Check out their thread for the details. This one has GOT to be canon.
KAISER DRUGGED FUUGETSU
This one isn't from a single person (I don't think, but maybe it started with u/Yobolai's comment), and it goes as follows:
Since GSBs can't directly attack other princes, it should be impossible for Luzurus's GSB to be behind Fuugetsu's current condition. What is really happening is that Kaiser drugged Fuugetsu in an attempt to get Melody and GSBKacho to kill Luzurus, maybe because he is a mafia prince. But Kacho and Melody are onto him.
I'm like 60% on this one, since there is the possibility that Fuugetsu's ability was simply retconned and that Luzurus's GSB's traps don't count as attacking a prince directly.
OITO IS BEYOND'S DAUGHTER
I don't think I can attribute this one to a single person either (maaaybe u/FemtoG's comment? I think that's where a lot of people's mind immediately went after Longhi's reveal), but I am like 85% on this one.
The idea is that Tserriednich's potential is a red herring and that the real child of Beyond's is Oito. Nasubi meeting and becoming smitten with a humble working-class girl and the emphasis on her low potential for learning Nen are my favorite piece of "evidence" for this theory and piece of expectation subversion respectively, although I admit they are extremely feeble so far.
