serious question: Is the staticy-blackout on Killua's eye the nature of Shoot's power, or is it the result of censorship?


Not censored.





Oh neat, thanks for that.

Great episode!
I lol so hard that Gon is confused about the numbers. Way confused than his other one since the greed island.
Wow! Both of the fights of Gon and Killua is psychological as fuck! I want to know what Thumb's power of the arua of Gon's power is next. So much foreshadowing right there.Damn, Killua lost his left eye. This is very rare to his fights, and maybe the best fight ever! So interesting to watch!
5/5 getting better again!

Exactly. They are really missing what makes Hunter X Hunter one of the most awesome shonen ever.

Lol poor Gon, I'm right there with you.

Watching Killua's fight was really hard. Fighting against himself (Illumi), trying so hard to take Biscuit's words to heart.

A quarter of this episode spent on numerical numbers.. -.- What's with that Killua drama ~.~ I liked the OST when Killua was charging Shoot, that was catchy, and of course, dat yo-yo, I waited for that. The animation though, was meh.

Togashi tends to make training interesting, but other than Killua's curse (which was a small portion) this is really boring. It doesn't help that calculations hurt my brain so I had trouble with Knuckle's ability.

I think the main problem is the chimera ant stuff is so much more interesting and I'd rather get back to that :/
Don't care much for the fights, just focus on the good stuff!

Gonna have to take a few weeks off and watch a couple eps bunched, because this is becoming painful.


Agreed. Ep 90 was built up as this big showdown but did not deliver at all :P

Mind. Blown. Knuckle is in fact... not an idiot :O
Such a complicated and eleborated technic, man, he's fucking clever in the end. I never expected that kind of ability.

The preview as a lot of spoiler though :S
Spoiler about the fight outcomes, spoiler about the King. Oh well, I wish I didn't saw it, but I'll see how it turn out.

Now, Killua, get your shit together and listen to Biscuit. He's so much underestimating himself, it's like a slow killing poison.

A man with powers of debt and math. Truly the most formidable enemy Gon has faced yet.

Shoot is a perfect opponent for Killua right now. Shoot's likely stronger, but his mental state prevents him from being on his A-game, which is what Bisky was getting at.

I find it funny over these past few weeks how vastly different the reaction has been to these Gon vs Knuckle battles in the anime compared to the manga. I remember a lot of people saying those fights were some of the best in the series when the manga was still in this arc and with the anime, while it is still mostly favorable reviews, seems to have a much lesser reaction. Just an observation that I found interesting.

Good episode, very smart on Madhouse's part to split up the fights at the halfway point to switch over. Killua is sadly useless atm due to his curse. I don't think I will ever get used to Knuckle's ability being subbed as Chapter 7 Bankruptcy after reading it as Hakoware throughout the whole arc in the manga.


I suppose that probably those who don't like these fights still haven't understood that it's this the way nen battles are supposed to be, more logical and less action.
Maybe they considered Gon vs Hisoka how fights would be forgetting how HxH is not a conventional shonen in many areas and or also the fact the protagonists aren't winning.

I really can't understand how these episodes are not liked and even considered boring. the NGL start was so slow and it's not like it had great battles, only Kaito showing how strong he was compared to Gon and Killua.
At this point I want to see how the next "sub-arc" will be liked since it's going to be much more slower aside for minor events.

Note: I too will never get used to Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, not after reading Hakoware so many times.


He's actually bullshitting you. He's always hated the praise toward CA so he tries to play it down.
He even started ranting about the arc randomly mid-Yorknew.

Really not impressed with the last few episodes. Really hope they get back to focusing on the ants soon because these episodes just aren't that entertaining to me.

I'm a bit confused on Killua's character. Sometimes they portray him as this prodigy assassin who's OP af with electricity powers, immunity to poison, and can pretty much take out anyone with the swipe of his hands if he's playing seriously. Then other times (like in this episode) they make it seem like he's barely (if even at all) any stronger than Gon. How exactly is jumping out of the way a hit "running away?" So should he just stand there and take every hit thrown at him? lol

What he stated was that he dodged that attack because of mainly his fear "curse" that he moved by reflex of that fear rather than his own fully volition that he should dodge, that's why he also said "this time my curse saved me" or something like that previously.

I think you just didn't pay enough attention to Killua's character, it was already implied and stated by Biscuit though previously and also over and over through the story-line, he always lack of confidence when he takes a "similar" level guys, the way Illumi taught him as assassin and twisted over-protective brother at the same time affect him too much that caused him always cursed by fear when he takes on opponent that he can't sure that he can win as assassin like. More than that, no matter prodigy he is, he was still a newbie to Nen, you can't defeat an advanced Nen user with just your basic skill, and this time Shoot ability also a disadvantage for Killua, something mysterious that he can't grasp it, his curse once more kickin in.

I've been watching 2 episodes in one sitting every day for a while and even by doing that, I feel that the pacing is really slow since Gon and Killua left NGL. Also I'm just frustrated and want to see more of those awesome ants, so that may be why I feel this way. I know that's necessary but we just went through a big training arc, didn't expect to have another training mini arc inside the CA one.

About Gon vs Knuckle, I think I'm just tired of watching them fight for 3 or 4 episodes. And when I was thinking that it was finally the end of it, I received a massive over explanation in the face for a good 5 minutes. Seriously, correct me if i'm wrong, but basically, Knuckle ability is just "Whenever a hit you, I fill up the Nen counter, and the number increase with X% of interest every ten second. You have 20 000 aura, if the counter go past this point, I win, and you're won't be able to use your Nen for 30 days until you "pay" me back". Am I wrong ?
I don't care about characters explaining their tactics, I love it in fact, but this one seems dragged for too long (like the training...). I get that the concept of total aura, potential aura will be important later, but I think that it was too much at once, plus I got confused with the 3 different terms.

So I guess Shoot's power is that his attack will be able to take away that body part he hits and store it in the cage D: if that's the case, it's gonna be pretty annoying to deal with

That 7th chapter bankruptcy power that Knuckles has is pretty unique and effective, but the explanation for that power is too freaking long... Well, at least Killua's starting to break his curse/habit of his (kinda)...
