Biggest BS/plothole moment you've ever seen in an anime?

How is it not a DEM?

It wasn't clearly stated that Gon did the restriction like how Kurapika did. It came out of no where.

It was also never stated before that someone can put restriction on his nen unconsciously or in one single moment of emotional outburst.

It felt like Togashi didn't know what to do with Gon and Pitou and didn't find a realistic way for Gon to leave alive so he resorted to this Deus ex.

I never commented on the fight being good or bad. I'm specifically talking about the bomb being inside Netero, that it had zero foreshadowing.

We do know that Gon used a nen restriction to achieve his peak form. It was heavily implied during the fight and stated explicitly in the election arc when the nen exorcist failed to remove Gon's restriction because the limitation he set on himself was far too great.

The possibility of unconscious nen restrictions have been established (Komugi) and the powers granted by restrictions so far have been immediate. The nen restrictions of Kurapika, Cheetu and Phinx were all activated immediately. After setting their restrictions, the amount of nen in Kurapika's chain jail increased tremendously, Cheetu could conjure a small nen space that resembled a Savanna if he hit another person and Phinx could wind up his arm to increase the strength of his punches. Similarly, Gon was able to mature himself to his peak form once he activated the nen restriction. Moreover, if we were to look at the events of the Chimera Ant arc it becomes clear that his decision to use a nen restriction against Pitou was premeditated.

Gon knew that he was grossly unmatched yet he didn't show any sign of doubt or fear during or before the palace invasion. He even told Killua that Pitou was his in episode 95 (which is why Killua said that he was going to faill into supoprt mode so that no one could interfere with his fight against Pitou). When you factor in Gon's intention of forcing Pitou to heal Kite through a fight then it all becomes clear. Given all of this it only makes sense that his decision to use nen restrictions was premeditated, otherwise, there would be a huge logical disconnect between Gon's behavior/actions and his decision to have a one on one fight in order to heal Kite.

Togashi plans his stories well in advance. No one knows the exact time he planned Gon's powerup but we do know that he chose to take that path during the Phantom Troupe detour (foreshadowing of Alluka). Personally I believe that he planned it even earlier than this especially since the events in episode 95 were extremely critical in relation to Gon's story in the CA arc.

It was actually foreshadowed far in advance. At the end of episode 88, Netero says something along the lines of "I'm not sure I can complete this mission unless a person is sacrificed". He was going to put the rose before the initial attack on the ant castle in NGL. Unfortunatrely it never happened since the king was born prematurely (one month in advance) and fled with his guards to Peijing.

'DEM is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object. Depending on how it is done, it can be intended to move the story forward when the writer has "painted themself into a corner"

The facts were that there were no realistic ways where Gon can leave alive and to get rid of Pitou, since he wasn't with the guards and the king so he wasn't poisoned. Togashi drove himself into a corner with the situation and brought forth this shitty power up to solve it.

No, it wasn't hinted at the actual fight.

It was real, if she lost, she would kill herself, she truly believed that and it was something that she is used to do every single time she plays from a long time ago. Gon didn't do that. The other Nen users you mentioned did, and not to mention their resolve were created from a long time ago, so it was natural. Gon did it on one moment of despair.

That's because Gon is not a normal person. Reckless behavior, stubbornness and trying to achieve what he wants no matter what is what Gon usually do.

The moment he walked into the room, he wanted to fight Pitou, in his mind if win against her in the fight, he can forces her to heal Kite. I honestly can't even understand, how are you making this weak connection.

No, that foreshadowed Netero's death or one of the other guy's death. It does not foreshaodw the bomb or hints at it's existence.

Chemical bombs were never used before in the HxH world. All fights were resolved through Nen and fighting.

Modern weapons were shown to be useless regarding Nen battles (i.e Uvo)

Why not use the bomb from the beginning. What was the fucking point of the invasion. They could have set portals to the palace, through Knov and just fucking kill them.

It certainly doesn't feel like it. He had so many hiatuses and finished the arc in 5 years. In the final part of the invasion, you can just feel that he just wanted to end the arc. With all the cop outs and anti climax.
