Machi Komacine

**Machi Komacine** (マチ゠コマチネ, *Machi Komachine*) is member #3 of the Phantom Troupe, an infamous gang of thieves with class A bounties. She is physically the strongest out of all the women in the Troupe and ranks 6th in the whole group in arm wrestling.

## Equipment

**Sewing Needles:** Machi keeps several needles in the pincushion she wears on her wrist. She uses them in conjunction with her Nen ability to stitch wounds or keep track of a target.

## Abilities & Powers

Due to Machi being born in Meteor City, her existence is not recorded in any database, which makes obtaining information about her nearly impossible. As a member of the Phantom Troupe, Machi is a very powerful fighter. She has extreme confidence in her strength, demonstrated when she was willing to engage in combat with both Phinks and Feitan in order to let Pakunoda go to the meeting with Kurapika, and when claiming that, if Hisoka ever were to manage to kill Chrollo, she would chase and murder him, showing she is not afraid to confront someone who could kill the leader of the Phantom Troupe. Furthermore, when Gon and Leorio couldn't grasp the extent of her and Nobunaga's strength, Killua asked if picturing two Hisoka would be of help. When dividing the Troupe into groups to prevent Kurapika from killing them one by one, Chrollo placed Machi in a team with two out of the five members who had received a death prophecy, both of whom were said to possess abilities said to be invaluable assets to the Spiders.

Like the rest of the Troupe, Machi has superhuman physical attributes but has yet to fight with her bare hands, though the guard she used to defend from Killua and Hisoka suggest she has some expertise in the field. She primarily resorts to her wires in combat, restraining or hanging her enemies, or even setting elaborate traps. She is also rather observant, managing to keep every person in a crowded square under control and understand a couple behind her had recognized Nobunaga and her.

**Preternatural Perception:** Machi has been shown to possess what some may refer to as a sixth sense, gathering information from her surroundings through no discernible means. She knew that she and Nobunaga were being watched by Killua, Gon, and Leorio (although she could not discover their positions), and perhaps more impressively, was aware of Gon and Killua tailing her and Nobunaga whilst in a state of Zetsu, with the latter praising their skill in the technique. Unlike Gon and Killua, she was able to sense that there were other pursuers as well.

**Enhanced Strength:** The fact that she ranked sixth in arm-wrestling within the Phantom Troupe is a testament to her brawn. She can easily lift several adult men, hung by her wires, and managed to immobilize a physically strong individual like Killua by wrapping her arms around him.

**Immense Speed and Reflexes:** A testament to Machi's speed is first given when she stitches Hisoka's severed arms in a matter of instants, with her hands looking like a mere blur, and yet with flawless accuracy. After unleashing his deafening howl, Uvogin stated that for people like her covering her ears before the sound reached was no business at all. She was the only one swift enough to react after Uvogin was restrained by Kurapika's **Chain Jail**, throwing a Nen imbued needle at his calf to keep track of him. Most remarkable of all, she was able to notice that Gon was going to move, appear behind his back and put her hands on his shoulders before he, despite his quick reflexes, could even catch a glimpse of her or make a single step.

**Enhanced Agility:** Machi can run on the sides of buildings and easily jump horizontally from one to another. She can easily reach a window located (possibly, due to Gon seeming to be at about the same height as Killua) on the third floor of a building with only one leap.

**Immense Endurance:** Machi is extremely resistant to pain; even though Killua stabbed her in the chest, breaking some of her ribs and ripping through muscle, she still managed to catch hold of him without releasing so much as a gasp, all of which while keeping Gon bound. Despite the multiple fractures, she was later seen moving, breathing and speaking normally.

**Muscle Control:** Machi has excellent control over her muscles, preventing Killua's hand from reaching her vitals and from being retrieved when he stabbed her with it. She seems to be able to close her injuries by contracting her muscles, as even though her chest was pierced, there was no blood on her clothes.

**Keen Intellect:** Machi managed to figure out the strategy that Hisoka used to defeat Kastro, proving herself to be quite observant.

**Immense Intuition:** According to Chrollo and Nobunaga, Machi's hunches are often accurate. Her feeling that Uvogin was dead and that Gon and Killua were connected to the "Chain Dude" proved to be correct, even when Gon and Killua themselves did not know about Kurapika's involvement with the Phantom troupe.

**Expert in Stealth:** Machi can sneak up on multiple enemies and kill them without being noticed. This characteristic is reminiscent of *ninjitsu*, matching her *kunoichi* appearance.

### Nen

Machi is a Transmuter. She seems to possess a powerful aura, as the clash of her hostility with Nobunaga's dented a tin can and frightened Gon, Killua, and Leorio. Little of her abilities has been shown thus far, but, being a member of the Phantom Troupe, she is undoubtedly extremely proficient in Nen. The only techniques she was seen using were Hatsu, In, Ren, and Gyo, with the probable addition of Ken and, obviously, Ten. Outside of her natural category, she appears to have at least a working command of Emission.
