| Amazing episode! it was so intense with knov and neferepitous aura i just loved it! AND KILLUA IS NEXT WEEK OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG FINALLY |
| Great episode, the sad breakdown was a little unexpected so that was cool, hoping to see Killua and Tako next episode. Lol, hentai guy building his own harem town underground. |
| Loving all the keyboard-fighting otakus sitting here on MAL calling Knov a pussy. Because they are totally badass and would go full-on Rambo against the Royal Guard *rolls eyes. I can guarantee that if any of you were in his situation you would have shat yourselves at least a dozen times and/or gone insane just from seeing his aura (myself included). Nah, what am I talking about? MAL users are hardcore. |

| Damn.. I feel Knov. It shows how dangerous the royal guards are. The scene was well executed. And for people calling him a pussy.. lol? He walked into a place where he could get killed in an instant. |

Knov is in Zetsu state: Zetsu involves shutting off one's aura, it can be dangerous due to it leaving the body defenseless against any aura attack. Even a weak attack enhanced with Nen could do massive damage. When Gon, Killua and Kite encountered Pitou, they are in Ten state: Having a shroud of aura surround the body is the most basic defense against the emotional attacks from other users of Nen, however, it can't defend against Nen physical attacks. |

| Knov broke down T____T I felt for him. Morel vs Leol next week. Killiua !!!!! YES!!! |
| Yup this episode proved that Knov is actually coward who wasn't even under any En Gon and Killua has been closer to the aura and even touched it, Knov didn't even touch it at all, he just saw it. Anyways, great episode. I liked how knov handled that Ant. |

| i was actually quite surprised by the coward attitude of knov, this person who was so sure about himself hit a wall here, oh well a good episode, looking forward for the next one p.s damn i hate the 1 episode by week, its so killing me :P |
| The people who call Knov a coward I don't think understand the job he had to do. Not only keep his presence undetectable, but infiltrate a palace with four incredibly strong ants that could kill him in a second. Or has he put torture him until he told them everything. That's mentally taxing and the fact that he completed it means he's not a coward. It's actually more realistic that's he's not a total harden badass. |

He is a coward, since he instead of continuing with the mission he was assigned he instead froze in fear because of the Aura he saw rather than felt and just thought of the worst case scenarios - which is what cowards tend to do. He's a professional Hunter that was hired to do it. |

Agreed, anime viewers are in for the longest and best arc climax in the series. Sometimes I wish I never caved in and read the manga. :/ i agree, it would have beena very veryepic episode to me. if manga wasn't around sadly its not that case. now this episode is so damn boring for me :( |

Nope- said: He is a coward, since he instead of continuing with the mission he was assigned he instead froze in fear because of the Aura he saw rather than felt and just thought of the worst case scenarios - which is what cowards tend to do. He completed his mission is because he's a professional that was hired to do it. This part is confusing. He is a coward because he froze in fear. And yet, a professional because he completed his mission. Knov is not a robot. He has feelings too. :( Not to mention he is a very cautious Conjurer (Materialization) and not a single-minded Enhancer (Reinforcement). |

| poor knov T^T he made me cry |
| Knov's breakdown was amazing. You don't often see guys in action anime (or anything really) get truly scared to that extreme. Great episode, this arc has really been getting good since the the board games got going. |
| Knov's VA did a great job in this episode ,dem feels . In general great and intense episode all the way ,Hunter x Hunter goes from better to better. |

| Yea a doctor should always be serious, a clown always a joke and a professional hunter always should be courageous and a badass.... Stereotypes....Stereotypes.... |

AVKV said: soundscape said: Yea a doctor should always be serious, a clown always a joke and a professional hunter always should be courageous and a badass.... Stereotypes....Stereotypes.... I'm not gonna argue about this and I sure as hell am not stereotyping. Knov's character was just a bit misleading. Which is exactly part of the brilliance of it. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| ^^ This... and of course it was misleading different people react to different situations differently even the same person can react in the same situation differently if the environment is unknown to him and he doesn't feel comfortable. Even you yourself if I asked you what would you do in situation X(X=something you haven't done before or felt) and you told me Y it doesn't mean that when the situation X actually happens you would do Y. |

| I was holding my breath for Knov the whole time. Was that Pitou's aura that caused him to have a mental breakdown? What the hell is Pitou to be able to cause someone as stoic as Knov to lose his shit? Wow! Bizeff is such a nasty buzzard. I hope Palm kills him quick. Sent with Mal Updater |

| Knov is in Zetsu mode. He can switch to Ten to protect himself but that will compromise the mission. Though he did a little Hatsu to the guard ant and everytime he marks an exit. |

The_Mad_Wizard said: Except Knov didn't touch the nen at all. So he wasn't physically harmed at all by it Unlike how Gon & Killua who were trying to walk into a hall where Hisoka was expelling his nen(Not sure which kind it was) and they touched it and it was doing harm, and keep in mind that this was the time they didn't know how to use nen and was basically in Zetsu.Knov is in Zetsu mode. He can switch to Ten to protect himself but that will compromise the mission. |

Airsyk said: soundscape said: This episode actually build the character of Kite even more. Knov and Kite could be compared as being at the same level as pro hunters but Kite despite of even feeling that aura and losing his arm afterwards tried to stay calm,gathered all his courage and fought well. You can only respect Kite more after seeing the contradiction here not that Knov isn't courageous cause despite his fear he still accomplished his mission. I'm sure Kite would have ran if Gon and Killua weren't there. Of course he would, but he wouldn't have cried like a teenage girl too scared of losing her virgnity. |
SetsukoHara said: Of course he would, but he wouldn't have cried like a teenage girl too scared of losing her virgnity. Knov still finished the mission so quit fuckin hating because you would have shit your pants if that were you. |
| for the last time the man was in zetsu state when exposed to the pressure of pouf's en..that's the reason for the mental breakdown. regular hunters would die under the same circumstances + remember kite ..how he stood didn't flinch from the malice aura or his hand..he just focused on pitou with a majestic look sasga kaito |

| That was Pouf aura. Pito, she have a red aura. And Pouf use his En and Pito heal the king. |

Bullcrap, he was never in contact with Pouf's en. He was probably as close to it as Komugi, and yet she didn't shit her pants. You guys have to accept he's just a coward. |

How the hell is he a coward. He completed the mission. He did his fucking job, so tell me how the fuck is he a coward. Again, if you were in his shoes you would of shit your pants and ran before you were even at the castle. So quit acting like your a fucking badass because your not. |

So quit acting like your a fucking badass because your not. He's a coward as I said before, he could've gone further into the Palace and added a lot more exits but when he saw Pitous aura he started whimpering and just put a exit where he started cowering and thought of the worst case scenarios like what cowards tend to. Please, don't use that "If that was you would x!!" argument since this is anime, not a story based on true events. |

| This is getting retarded.... Some believe he is a coward and some don't, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think we should end the debate here agreeing that overall the episode was amazing even if Knov was or not a coward. |

Komugi is blind, she doesn't know that the King and the other royal guards are chimera ants and she doesn't know nen, that's why she isn't afraid. Just think about those other players in the palace, they were shitting their pants and one of them even commited suicide because of the pressure. |
