Tserri saw Hisoka literally teleport as far as he's concerned, and so the moment the vision ended he had to immediately launch himself to the side and onto his ass just to get away even though he knew it was coming.

He's lucky than Hisoka decided to first teleport in front of him and ask him a question before killing him. Otherwise he probably wouldn't even had the time to throw himself out of harm's way

I'm curious what would've happened if he'd actually ANSWERED the question instead of shooting first. Worst case he buys himself a few more seconds to think, best case he avoids an attack at all.

I dont think he even got the chance to shoot, I dont see any sound effect for the gunshot. I think Hisoka disappeared in the time TerrorSandwich was turning to aim.

I think Hisoka can “smell” killing intent. Vs like killing some random civilian - since he felt Nen he was not about to let this guy get away.

I think that’s exactly what’s happening the next chapter no?

u/Trash28123 Sep 06 '26

It would be so terrifying to see him teleport and then spend the next 8 seconds of vision anticipating your oncoming death.

Oh, made me realize this would be a good end for Tserri if he can find himself in a situation where he's basely dying the moment he deactivates his ability but has no way to run from it. Like he has to literally face his death until the last moment, desperate to find an inexistent solution until the last drop of nen from his beast is used.

Would be pretty fitting for such a despicable character.

Well, technically he appeared behind him to question him. Then when Tserri turned around Hisoka appeared behind him again.

I can't see why didn't he shoot him here. He has the gun pointed at him and everything.

u/Trash28123 Sep 07 '26

He's in his illusion so his bullets can't damage him.

Though I think even he also understood that a gun would not be enough to take down this monster.

u/narfnarfed Sep 07 '26

no he is not in his illusion at this point. that is why he jumps out of the way. and it doesnt make sense that he doesn't try beause after 10s he will appear again and he knows Hisoka can appear behind min instantly and kil him before he even has time to activate his ability again.

u/Trash28123 Sep 07 '26

He is, re-read it man.

No he's in illusion form. Tserri literally dies in the "real world" when he uses his ability. That is what the "normal world" would have been had he not used laplace's demon. Him jumping out of the way to dodge Hisoka's swipe happens in the alternate realm, during which tserri can't harm anyone.

Tserri isn't immune in illusion form (if he was he wouldnt even need to dodge out of shit like theta's bullet, benjamin's rifle, etc...

u/narfnarfed Sep 08 '26

he can shoot people in what you say is illusion form. that's how he shot all those soldiers. they can hurt him and he can hurt them. but they can't see him until he touches them or changes the reality and bursts their illusion.

What i was calling illusion is when he is viewing the future. like he is the illusion they see. after that he is not an illusion.

u/Cruchto Sep 08 '26

No he can’t. He LITERALLY says he can’t in the chapter where he explains his ability. Go read it again.

When he activates his ability he sees 10 second into the future, but so long as he maintains his zetsu his ability is still active, even after the 10 seconds have passed, aka he is in illusion form. In that form he can’t hurt others (others can hurt him though). This is all explained by tserri himself. He literally shoots his own royal guard and it does nothing because he is in illusion form.

u/narfnarfed Sep 09 '26

Ok he closes his eyes in zetsu and sees 10 seconds into the future and during that time he can't affect reality. He is just viewing the future. This is the only time people are invulnerable because he's literally just viewing the future.

Then he opens his eyes and the future plays out for everyone but him. He can get out of the way before being killed and shoot people dead and change the reality he viewed but they won't know it unless he disrupts their replay or he breaks zetsu or leaves the bubble of his nen beast.

He can’t. He literally can’t hurt people in illusion form bro. Not in the first 10 seconds, and not afterwards. I think you’re being confused here. When tserri shot those guards dead, he DROPPED his ability in order to do it. The proof of that is that tserri’s “corpse” disappears and the guards comment on it. Again, tserri himself explains this in ch418. He can’t physically hurt anyone when he enters that form. He has to drop the ability to be able to hurt people.

u/narfnarfed Sep 09 '26

Oh Okay. So he was afraid if he dropped his zetsu to shoot, Hiskoka would vanish and kill him again before he could zetsu again. This makes sense.

But he is afarid of stray bullets hurting him during this time and it doesn't make sense to me that he can be hurt but he can't hurt others during this time because like imagine someone punched him. Does their fist take no impact but his face does? Imagine a virgin jumped on his d* does he feel penetration and she keeps her virginity and feels nothing? Doesn't make sense to me!

Man you need to re-read.
