Rather than act immediately on his (correct) suspicions, he’ll sit on the information and see how he can use it to his advantage. My suspicion is that Welfin’s nature – self-serving and secretive – will work to Ikalgo’s benefit here. The battle has splintered into so many fronts now that I honestly feel that if Togashi had structured this traditionally it would be hopelessly confusing to keep track of. Killua is always plagued by self-doubt, and it always intrudes when events force him to react in the moment. When chaos breaks out I continue to believe Gon is the one who thinks most clearly, because he’s always sure of his purpose. For Killua to actually leave Gon’s side at that moment was a bit shocking, even to Killua himself (having that moment play out in slow motion brilliantly conveys how surreal it feels to him), but it all ties back into the fact that Killua overthinks everything. Pretty much nothing has up to this point – but despite being the most adamant about expecting the unexpected, Killua still strays away from his own advice and wings it when he sees two soldier ants standing in Ikalgo’s planned path (it’s clear now what Ikalgo’s role in the plan is – or was). First, Killua could hardly have been proved more right by the way events have played out – you just can’t assume anything is going to go according to plan. A couple of things stand out for me in the situation on the ground.
