| YO! Gon went in!! and Hisoka's shining crotch!!! x) props to madhouse this episode was EPIC! 6/5 |

| Shit that was amazing! The glass freaking broke and Gon thought up that whole strategy on the spot. Except I saw Hisoka's crotch... -_- And lol at his pedo boner XD |
| The beginning to the fight was amazing!! |
| Hisoka's the biggest creeper ever. I was definitely looking forward to the first part of this episode for a while now. o u o The water divination thing's definitely pretty epic. I will never get over the creepy innuendo or whatever the heck that was in this episode. xD; |
 |
| I have to give credit to Madhouse this episode really was well done, so with the Greed Island OVA we have a full naked front and back shot of Hisoka. |
| Awesome episode Everything was great |
| End Zionazism |
| Epic Episodes Gave me the chill! Direction was the best by far 5\5  Fuckin Pedo :D |
| Amazing episode! 5/5 The beginning of the fight was awesome and very well animated. Dat glowin Hisoka boner, haha. |
| Amazing episode with some fantastic animation. Certainly up to par with the 1999 version of this fight. I will say that I prefer 'Reinforcement' instead of 'Enhancer' though, but that's just nitpicking the subs. |
| Best fight in a long time. Animation was simply smooth and amazing. And lol at Hisoka getting turned on with his shining crotch... |
| Oh yeah! Hisoka vs Gon! A must watch here! |
 |
| Awesome fight, i would even say the best of the series so far imo, while its quite obvious Gon won't win, its still good to show his progress, and more of Hisoka's tricks is never a bad thing XD Also lol at Hisoka and his shining crotch |
 |
| wow MadHouse sure has lot of money to animate the action like it was a movie XD great episode!!! |
InfiniteDestiny said: Awesome fight, i would even say the best of the series so far imo, while its quite obvious Gon won't win While it may be obvious to older viewers/manga readers, that's a spoiler -_- and I agree with it being the best fight of the series so far but then again there hasn't been too many epic fights now has there? lol @ Schwing and Hisoka isn't gay guys! He just gets turned on by strong fighters no matter what gender. I wouldn't deny him seeming like a pedophile though lol. Surprised they showed his glowing crotch. |
     "There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
My favorite Pedo character so far in anime history ^ |
 |
| FREAKIN CRAZY EPISODE! Best fight sequence in the anime so far! All of the explanations of the different Nen categories was also really interesting, they make it a lot easier to understand than in the manga! And just think, if the fight between Gon and Hisoka is this epic, just imagine how awesome the Phantom Troupe arc is going to be! |

| Suddenly, Dutch angles, hundreds of them. Seriously, I don't remember earlier eps having so much Dutch Angles, at least not in non-fighting scenes. Madhouse overdid it a bit I think. |
| I prefer german angles |
| End Zionazism |
| ...Let's just take a moment to appreciate that Hisoka was standing in front of a window. Stark naked. Someone got a great view of his glowing crotch... o___o;; The animation for the fight so far's outstanding, so fluid owo. I was just watching and thinking "wow". Poor Zushi XD always getting left behind. So happy my HxH's back! I missed it so much asdghfjdkssjhfjdks. I can't WAIT for the Spider arc... and we're nearly there... yes yes yessss~ |
| That kicked the ass of the 1999 version of Gon's first hit on Hisoka. Two thumbs way the fuck up, Madhouse. Also, FUCK YEAH, SHINING HISOKA CROTCH THIS EARLY. SCHWING. |
Holy. Mother. Of. God. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Kyaa! Hisoka fan service! LOL |
| My goodness, what an incredibly awesome and epic fast-paced fight. So much pedo moments too. Can't wait til Killua retakes the test, from what I remember... it gave me a very good laugh. |
| I loved that!! Intense fighting - I'm glad the announcer didn't have a chance to comment. Water test = love. Hisoka actually has really hot eyes after he got punched. XD LOL. "I'm getting turned on!" Hisoka. XD |

| Wow, that was some superb animation. |
| awesome |
| I'm really glad with how they animated those battle scenes...totally epic...but gon should be careful from Hisoka's shining crotch hahaha. Loved the water test and Gons glass breaking And I can't wait to see more Kurapika...his BAness has began, can't wait to see his chains in action XD |
 |
| Excellent episode. That one week break was well worth it. |
 |
 That was definitely worth the extra week of waiting. Hatsu and Nen is pretty deep with all the types. I dont think it was explained that well though. Like are attacks of one type just weak to another type, or can people master multiple types or just use skills from them, can one change types. What does a transmuter even do? Hope they explore Killua sometime soon as thats way more interesting than enhance in the context of fighting. The Hisoka part was hilarious and especially win hunterpedia did it too. But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year |

Gon cant win! training for 4 months does not make you top tier fighter like Hisoka Gon is still way to weak and will have to train way more than that to take Hisoka down but still, you cant deny the progress he made in the tower, he broke the glass for god sake anyhow, amazing animations! i cant help but to imagine the dodge ball game it will be AWESOME <3 |

But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year Hunter x Hunter is unlike any other shonen , Gon is no Ichigo nor Naruto to get 2482703 times stronger and beat the bad guy if HxH was Generic Gon would Defeat Chrollo Lucifer just by getting angry or friendship power :D |

But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year One does not simply pull stuff out of ass in HxH That's one of the reasons gon craps on other shounen heroes I buy it when he beats opponents because you can see that he's progressing and not just caracters saying "wow le progress!" @ssjathena Chrollo! Dont mess with my Nakama! *HP bar is maxed + powarZ* XD |

whyisthis said: @27cansoftuna Did you forget that it was said that Hisoka already knew about nen even before the Hunter exam? Hisoka has been training for years and even after 340 or so chapters of the manga, Gon is still nowhere near as powerful as Hisoka. This isn't like Bleach where characters gain a 10x powerboost after doing absolutely nothing. Which is why HxH is so awesome. It's soooo generic when a character is getting the shit beat outta him for an episode only to somehow manage get that power-up and end up winning. It makes it much more satisfying when the character actually slowly progresses and becomes stronger over time. Gon is a kid and Hisoka has much more training behind him clearly. |
| Great episode~ Hisoka's turning on scene was just creepy....I m looking forward to the awesome fights :) |
| the only time ive ever gotten excited about a fight that is truly intense is kid buu vs goku. their first exchange had the same sort of intensity as this one. haha the announcer and judge had a hard time following the fight and calling hits. he barely managed to call that one hit. as for Gon being weak, he just neared about Nen when every hunter in the world already posess it. that alone makes him weak. he is, in addition to that, inexperienced in Nen use and fighting. that makes him doubly weak. |

| Wow, Madhouse has my respect now in this, they amazingly animated the fight, loved it :D |
 |
| uff the animation didn't disappoint this is just the begining lol hope they dont forget to give us blood bath later hisoka is not pedofile, you will know why he acts like that on next episode, i think. 5/5 |

But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year I think no matter how gifted Gon is, it is rather farfetched to think that he could 'destroy' Hisoka with just four months of training. Not only has Hisoka been training for many many years, I think he might be just like Gon and Killua being the 'one in a ten million'. On another note, I am very happy with the Hisoka fan service in this episode. He is definitely my favorite character in Hunter x Hunter. Although they really do make him seem like a pedophile! I dont think he's necessarily a pedophile just that he gets turned on my power and strong opponents regardless of age or gender. Hope we will get to see more of him! |
