Mechanics diagram
Activation
  • Stick an antenna into the target (usually the neck); operate via the paired phone.
Conditions
  • The antennae are real, finite objects — losable, reelable, and limited to two.
  • Control lasts until the antenna is removed or the target dies.
Effects
  • Total mind-and-body control of up to two antennaed targets.
  • Voice commands through the phone reach puppets remotely.
  • Self-use ('autopilot') trades memory and days of muscle pain for a massive combat boost — and blocks rival Manipulators.
Assessment
Description

Shalnark's 'Mobile Fate Director': plant a physical antenna in a target and puppet them totally through a phone — direct control, spoken orders, or autopilot. Two targets at once, one of whom can be Shalnark himself (his berserk self-manipulation mode). Chrollo borrowed it for the Heavens Arena duel, phone and all.

Effects

  • Voice commands through the phone reach puppets remotely.

Counter-analysis
Weaknesses & counters
Weaknesses
  • Antenna supply: Chrollo ended the duel with both spent (ch 357).
  • A visible antenna warns anyone who knows the ability.
Field record
Recorded uses
  1. CH.351Chrollo (borrowed) opens the duel with it: antenna in the judge, second antenna held as a feint that keeps Hisoka guessing at every approach.
  2. CH.354A spectator converted into a Chrollo lookalike and puppeted as bait — Hisoka 'kills' the decoy.
  3. CH.355An antennaed announcer relays 'break Hisoka' arena-wide; a squatting puppet's 'now' touches sun to moon and detonates the severed head in Hisoka's hand.
Sourcing
Evidence
  • CH.351CanonicalNamed and demonstrated by Chrollo mid-duel as Shalnark's ability.
  • CH.352CanonicalTwo-at-a-time limit stated in Chrollo's own comparison with Order Stamp.
  • CH.357Strong inferenceShalnark killed by Hisoka before the phone could be returned; the page presumably vanished from the book.
