When

> Uvogin died at the hands of Kurapika in the York Shin arc,

did someone replace him? It is said that Kalluto replaced Hisoka. I wonder why
him, specifically, seeing how Uvo left earlier than him.

Or should it be assumed that Kalluto just took Hisoka's number?

Did someone replace Uvogin in the Phantom Troupe?


**Did someone replace Uvogin in the Phantom Troupe?** Yes, Illumi Zoldyck
replaced him as No. 11. It is in **Volume 36 Chapter 377**. The image below is
taken from the [wiki](https://hunterxhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Phantom_Troupe).

As to why Illumi joined the Phantom Troupe, _it is simply because Hisoka asked
him to_. He elaborated that Hisoka commissioned himself as a target to Illumi,
and he joins just like that, and no questions were raised by the other Phantom
Troupe members. So, if Illumi kills him, he gets a reward. Exactly what
reward, it is not yet known. As to why Hisoka would want someone he is quite
close to to kill him, I cannot say. He is quite unpredictable throughout the
story. [![enter image description

However, when him and Illumi were hunting Killua and Alluka during the **13th
Hunter Chairman Election** arc, it is shown that _he delights in the feeling
of someone who have a desire to kill him_. He is even debating on whether to
gain Killua's or Illumi's hatred. ( **Chapter 330** ) This could be one of the
reasons he asked Illumi to join the Phantom Troupe to kill him. [![enter image

**Should it be assumed, that Kalluto just took Hisoka's number?** No
assumptions need to be made as this was also made clear in the manga in
**Chapter 377**. So, yes, Kalluto is the new No. 4.
