japanda said: Aura debt? This is getting ridiculous. Stop the internal monologues already and get back to REAL fighting. you do realize Hunter x Hunter fights have always been like this o-o, and trust me all of this will seem boring right now but later it makes a huge impact for the later fiights |
| Yay! Knuckle and Shoot's ability are finally shown. I really love Knuckle's Hakoware, and Shoot is so cool! |

| this is bs, not making progress at all. i wanna see the king |
| Gons fight sucked, Killua fight was better though even if there was barely any fighting, Btw anyone else think that Killua is much more interesting then Gon? Gon is just kinda annoying in my opinion. |
 |
| ^ They're both annoying little kids dammit. They should make Ging/Netero the MC instead. |
| There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against: One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong. Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong. |
| Gon is badass. His abilities so far are boring, though. They managed to make them look amazing during the dodgeball game, but still. Killua was never my cup of tea, until this episode where he actually tries to fight against his inner demons. His nen hasn't really been showcased a ton, but I think his abilities have the potential to be cool. Hisoka for MC. Kick ass nen abilities, kick ass personality, and we would literally follow him until he's done kicking everyone's ass, or dies. He's probably in a bloody brawl against Chrollo as we speak! |
 |
| Pretty cool start to their fights, looking forward to when they get epic. |

lovevc said: this is bs, not making progress at all. i wanna see the king Not every episode can be like episode 85. Those episodes are necessary, I agree it is a bit slow though. These fights are meant to show Gon and Killua's main weakness. Gon's weakness is his lack of focus and naivety, Killua's weakness is his curse. They are matched against their worse opponents. Knuckle's ability works wonders on Gon, any focused and sharp fighter would have figured out the BS and attacked right away. Shoot has very mysterious abilities which makes Killua's curse worse, since he cant gauge Shoot's strength, he has no choice but run away from him. |

Blazed88 said: Getting bored of this anime going so damn slowly week to week. No progression at all at this point. Gonna have to take a few weeks off and watch a couple eps bunched, because this is becoming painful. Word! |
| Wow, people are way too action hungry, I think it's great Madhouse explains things properly and concentrates on characters' development. |
| Gon's weakness=Math XD But whoa Knuckles nen ability was cool. Killua dealing with his curse while facing off Shoot. OMG the King |
wakka9ca said: SetsukoHara said: Salce said: What really was kind of complicated was the estimation about Gon's total aura. even though it is hard to digest for the viewer/reader most of the time. I don't understand what is so complicated about basic arithmetic. Are you serious saying the estimation was that complicated? Oh man... It wasn't THAT complicated, but it definitely was more difficult than your classic dialog, it was also kinda long and wasn't really some useful piece of information. I'm OK with this episode as I was OK with the chapter when I read it, but I feel like I would prefer it without this estimation. |
| Uwaaaa!! Awesome episode <33 With such a cliffhanger too. Wow, I cannot wait for next week. So action-packed :) I really hope Killua is able to defeat Shoot, and overcome Illumi in his mind. My sweetheart Killua had this sad smile on his face during the preview....I really hope he doesn't have to leave Gon. :'( Lol, as I am bad at math, Knuckle's long math explanation of aura kinda left me like Gon.... >.> So confuzzling. <.<  Anyways, this episode made me so hyped for what's to come! I've been feeling lately like Hunter's pacing has slowed down a bit, but now I feel like it was necessary to get that right tension. I NEED TO GO BACK TO NGL...!!! I feel like the weird girl with the black, frizzy hair right now. xD But I think she's rather cute, in a way. The bonding with her and Gon was actually pretty cute, despite being creepy as well. >.< I think that Cell-looking ugly thing in the preview is the King. >__> With how attractive the Royal Guards have been, I thought he would be prettier looking. Well, even better, can't wait till Gon squishes him like the bug he is. x3 Still don't know who Jii-san is going to choose to be his 'sacrifice'. Not Gon or Killua please! T__T Oh, and we haven't seen teasers of Kaito in a while :( I hope Gon will be able to bring him back somehow... Anyways, lots of questions.xP Next Saturday must come fastttt~ |

| No Killua! Fight On! I loved this episode. It had two of my favorite characters, Killua and Illumi. I just love them together and how Killua shivers under Illumi's pressure. During Gon's fight, I was like what-ever cause I couldn't care less about Gon. I just wanted it to speed up and go on to Killua. |

| Nice episode. From the looks of it, the king is going to make an appearance next episode! 5/5 |
| I'm still watching the episode 'till now and couldn't manage to understand clearly knuckle's ability xD this's my 56th time seeing the first part of the episode I'm already understand his ability but the part of "POP" and "AOP" can't understand at all what's exactly the deference between them? |
 |
 Awwwww :3 I wonder what happened to Killua's eye. |
 |
| Not sure it s the right time to talk about it but i feel there are some fairly big plot-holes. One is the whole 1 month competition thing, how did Netero manage to plan all this that fast? Did he know Gon and Killua were fighting the chimera and would get their ass kicked? Also how did he know their current strength? |

UnbornMVs said: Awwwww :3 I wonder what happened to Killua's eye. spoiler: when shoot's attack will have a certain damage to a specific body part, that body part will be hide on shoot's cage. on killua's part, he lost his left eye. it wasn't explained how many body parts will shoot able to hide in his cage but if that's the case, if shoot will be able to attack the other eye, then killua will be in a huge disadvantage even if killua is in his top condition. that is the importance of not letting the enemy know your ability. that HxH. hehe. sorry for the spoiler. |

TheDodo said: how did Netero manage to plan all this that fast? Did he know Gon and Killua were fighting the chimera and would get their ass kicked? Also how did he know their current strength? I think as soon as the chairmen heard about the fact that the ants were eating humans, he would've known the severity of the situation, which is why he was personally called in. And I would also assume that once he heard about gon/killua's presence from Kite's partners, he set up that challenge, knowing that he would meet up with gon/killua in NGL and he would give them that ultimatum. I'm guessing, however, that he didn't anticipate them pursuing all the way to the ant lair, and getting manhandled. |
|
| I'm worried about Killua because I saw him crying in the preview. Shirtless Knuckle was nice! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Very very dragged out episode as well as overexplained and overdone. Hope next episode is better. Wasn't a bad one but definitely not up to standards. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
Dolan-chan said: Knuckle is nothing compared to Genthru, don't understand why Gon can''t beat him. It's not like if Gon was able to defeat Genthru at all. He only won because of Killua's plan. And I don't know if Knuckle is so far from Genthru in matter of fighting. |
Dolan-chan said: Knuckle is nothing compared to Genthru, don't understand why Gon can''t beat him. No that's wrong, genthru puked his guts from one jajanken hit. Knuckle took it like a man and that was after Gon trained for a while (ok he still passed out). |

"POP" is the same as "MOP" so the max of aura you have. "AOP" is how much of this aura you can actually use. Think the POP/MOP as the container and AOP how big is the "exit" for the aura, the bigger it is the more of your aura you can release in an instant. Sorry for the bad english and explanation well, that was useful somehow, thx dude |

| good episode eventhough the main characters are loosing lol |
| This is one of a very rare breed where the main character is not deus ex machina level powerful. Not only that, but the only series where the main character practically loses just about every fight. As much as people diss on Gon for that, I'd at least say be thankful that it's a change of pace. Albeit kind of redundant when he's lost almost all of the major fights (and I throw the term out there loosely since he's only had a few fights with "important" characters who weren't just there for training purposes or to show some sort of payoff to Gon and Killua's insane potential) except for his bout with Genthru which we all know was only accomplished due to Killua's plan. Mode edit: removed the manga spoilers To the mod who edited this, I apologize for putting manga spoilers, but if you're going to be editing my post, please spell "mod" correctly next time. Thank you. |

Knuckle took it like a man and that was after Gon trained for a while (ok he still passed out). Genthru was trapped when Gon hit him with rock. Also I don't think Knuckle was ever actually HIT with rock. I mean I thought the whole joke was that Knuckle faints from the ANTICIPATION of getting hit by rock and tries to play it off cool. No, he was actually hit with rock, it s pretty obvious from both the manga and anime. For me Knuckle is on a totally different level than Genthru. His ability is much less agressive but that doesnt make him weaker. |

| The fight in this one was genius ! Killua was pure badass against shoot. |
| After watching this in the anime, I figured out that I can beat Gon. After all, math is my strong point. |

Kite0207 said: Okish episode... too bad it's so damn slow, this arc's signature is how much slower it is compared to the others, if this was yorkshin/toweresque gon, kite, killua team would've done some damage to the nest or something and then -> plottwist -> go next arc... but no. This time the adaption didn't manage to overcome the long explanation for nen abilities, present pretty much everywhere on the manga upto and after this point, let's see if they can handle the next few battles without 15 minutes monologues =P I partly blame Crunchyroll's segmented subtitles for making the explanations a bit less understandable. |

| Knuckle's power is awesome, doesn't match his tough guy routine at all :d. It seems like another aspect of Nen is being uncovered in this episode, I wonder if they'll keep using the POP/ARP in future episodes. Gon's fight is a race against time while Killua's is a psychological battle. If this were any other battle anime, I'd be expecting some sure shot win at the end of this, but I really am not sure what's going to happen at this point. I've broken a few habits through heavy discipline myself, so I know it's going to take more than just self assurance for Killua to break this one, especially since it's a matter of life and death as well as remaining by Gon's side. And it looks like the king's egg is really acting up, the queen looked like she was excited beyond belief at the end o_o. |
