Chrollo and Pairo

Analysis/Theory

Chrollo and Pairo have a similar personality. Specifically, when Chrollo was a child. But more importantly, there are parallels linking the two, you should consider:

  1. Both were bullied. Sarasa stood up for Chrollo, and Kurapika stood up for Pairo.

  1. Chrollo swapped the video tapes, like Pairo swapped the eye drops.

  1. Shalnark's black voice and Pairo's phone. Pairo somehow obtained a cellphone. How is debatable, but it's likely this was Sheila's phone. Using the phone would parallel Chrollo's decision to use Shal's phone.

  1. Chrollo represents the head of the spider. Pairo is presumably the Kurta head in Tserriednich's collection. (Based on Kurapika's inner monologue he seems to be aware of this.)

Now you could argue, what's the point of this? But I think Togashi may be cooking something with it. Because of what Chrollo said here:

It makes me wonder, before he died, was Pairo begging for forgiveness? And could this "reunion" be realized in some way for Chrollo?

There must be some significance to why Pairo is the only head. Let me hear your thoughts!
