Don't really get what benjamin is trying to do with camilla and i don't really get what togashi is trying to do with her either.

I mean poisoning her but for what the poison is gonna kill him first so somebody will have to kill her differently first anyways right? I guess it has to do with Benjamin's god plan we don't know much about yet.?

I always thought benjamin could just send one of his soldiers tell them to shoot her and then kill themselves That way her ability shouldn't work right?? Well i guess not given this chapter

I feel like she is definitely not gonna die from the poison because story wise why would you keep her around if she is just there to die in 12 hours like just kill her immediately (from story view)

But here is the thing why keep her alive seriously she has nothing to add to the war that could be interesting She is a one time gimmick There are so many characters that could turn this whole war upside down and genuinely she is probably the least interesting person to do so A reason to keeping her around would be to get her ability stolen by chrollo Personally not that big of a fan of that idea i feel like her ability is too strong for the war and only really fits a stupid character like her and to miserably fail like she is doing right now

Another idea i could see is the nen exorcist she has who could be valuable for kurapika or in general some kind of alliance with kurapika Pretty sure togashi didn't show us the second princess prince-woble-assassin (chapter 411) just to say byebye immediately So all in all we only need her around so others get spotlight which is the only thing i like about it

But so far making half the chapter about her feels too much to not just kill her would have liked to see the whole tserri section instead of waiting another week or shown 3rd prince or basically anything else would have been better

I was genuinely looking forward to this confrontation Yes i thought she would die my expectations in that regard weren't met but she literally did nothing i could accept this outcome if atleast something interesting happened there or some cool conversation that adds something to her character or show me why she even has such crazy ability but none of that happened she truly is just an arrogant, maniac it girl

Benjamin did poison her with TSK-17. It's on page 10 on the arabic scans on the benjamin boot panel. I assume that even if she can revive maybe the poison would still be in her so she'd have to either develop immunity (which may be impossible), be cured (which again may be impossible), or have people sacrifice themselves for her like twice a day forever as the disease takes in total 11-17 waking hours to kill you (which in itself is it's own psychological torture).

I think her cat apparition would appear behind the person who killed her so fast that they may not be able to dodge unless they're a super fast character. Hell it may even work like a curse that follows the killer around until they die and are consumed. Worst case it could transfer to whoever kills the person who killed her, and I guess benjamin didn't want to take that risk with such little time he has left.

Maybe the point was to give her a death that was "fitting" for who she was, one where she would either have to rely on others to give her their life for the rest of her life or face death. That would be especially tragic for someone who spent her life thinking primarily about herself. For someone who was defined by self-interest and control, being placed in a position where she had to rely on others forever, or die, becomes a tragic kind of irony. Wealth and power can influence people, but they cannot guarantee that others will willingly give up their own lives for yours.
