No, it wasn't revealed. He is gone for good.

No Monroe Walk? :P
At last, no more of that annoying voice..
I'm disappointed though they didn't show him crushed like the ant he is, the way the manga did. How come Episode 96 is less censored than this while being on a children's timeslot?

Youpi's yellow transformation seems far more impressive in the anime. I love it.
Also, those new soundtracks being used.

They really should have included the timer from the manga. If anything, it would save them money and make the story progression more clear.

I find that the best way to enjoy this arc is just to skip through the pointless narration and teenage angst/PMS that every juvenile characters had.. certainly nothing will be missed (for example I could delete last week's episode from my hard drive and not miss anything should I ever re-watch this thing).

The best part of this episode is when Silva crushed Cheetu, too bad it was so short. If I were Netero, I'd spent my money hiring Silva and Zeno to face the royal guards along with Moral instead of letting two disciples and two brats handle tasks they are not necessarily up to. Silva vs Youpi would make a fantastic fight without Silva suffering from puberty-induced rage and Zeno would just battle Pitou without screaming like an annoying whiny toddler whose Mom refused to buy toys for. Maybe then we'll get to wrap the whole invasion thing in 10 episodes although I wouldn't mind watching Zeno and Silva fight for 20 episodes, I bet it'd still be far more interesting than watching those brats.

I wish the studio that handled the original HxH adaption is still working for the new adaption, then we'll get much more awesome musics and better direction.

I just checked the corresponding manga chapter, the time when Youpi punched the ground was around 2 minutes 17 seconds, so if the narrator's time is rounded to 3 minutes, the last quarter of the episode was 43 seconds.

Gon's shout was at 2 minutes 40 seconds

Yupi blew up around minute 3 if we neglect the seconds,
and Killua finding Meleoron after Meleoron had dealt with Welfin took about 3 minutes.
It was also 3 minutes 20 seconds for Morel's arc.

In other words, Killua and Meleoron's current arcs are basically a flash-forward where the tower had already collapsed compared to the other arcs that are taking about the same time.

I can't call it the best episode but it was good enough.. 3 min have passed ? well, I think Gon will wait sooooo long to fight Pitou... lol, at that rate.. we're gonna see the battle after 50 episode :/ (just kidding, there's something will happen for sure in order to make the time run faster) like... I dunno :/
it was good episode anyway.. I enjoyed it

Kind of laughed how easily cheetu died. Expected him to dodge the attack with super speed.

Guess we will never see his new technique.

I believe its called Monroe Walk "The Blind Spot of War" So in a sense, you're both right.

Actually I've never understood that. Do Nen moves have two different names. Or does the first name simply translate to something else in Japanese.

I like how deep this series is with details. You can actually see how Gon is "changing" due to being in such harsh circumstances. He can hardly hold himself back anymore because he was pushed too far. I also love how Gon is pissed at Pitou for wanting to save Komugi where as he himself was never able to save Kite.

Awesome episode!! At the halfway mark I started getting sad bc I thought it was over and then realized I was only half!! Good stuff

I'm glad Knuckle wasn't stupid and decided to stick to the plan. Curious what Killua is going to do though. And i wanted to see Cheatu's new mooove :(

But this shows that the Spiders are much stronger than regular ants.
Chrollo, who wasn't very strong physically took the same attack and survived. Okay maybe it's because it was a projectile but I doubt Silva's emission is that weak.

Are you ready for more Tohashi's trolling? What you are waiting to happen is not going to happen. That's how a good writer works. If some of you were the writer of this show, we were watching just three monotone fights.

Yea only Silva didn't hit Chrollo nor Zeno in that scene directly... If you pay close attention his attack should crash the floor too but it didn't. This tells us that the phone call from Illumi while he was in the air and in the middle of his attack informed him to not kill Chrollo (probably they had consider the situation in detail with Illumi and agreed upon sth like taht) because Illumi would lose money if his customer died.

But of course I still believe that PT are much stronger than regular squadron leaders :P

The ant arc will end between 12-17 episodes.


If I remember correctly, the Netero vs Meruem fight will begin probably in 5-7 episodes.

But now it's Knuckle's turn.
5 out of 5.

Shoot really surprise me when he revealed his new personality ,his fight was epic even if he could not fight youpi more than 3 min and the relationship between knuckles and shoot was touching not like Gon yelling on killua but still well write

Damn good stuff, especially Shoot's thinking he should be the voice of reason but then pleading with Knuckle to get Youpi back for ignoring him. I guess "pride" is anothe character fault to add to the list. I actually really liked how pumped up Knuckle got, only to deflate and run. It really shows how much of a monster Youpi is and shows that pure strength of will just isn't quite enough. Also, it's an interesting contrast. Youpi, Pitou, and Pouf are all extremely loyal to the king. Yet, the Humans have been kind of been harming the mission. Whether it be Knuckle and Shoot in this episode or Gon giving priority to saving Kite. Though at least they are all still keeping their targets from the King.

I actually kind of liked Cheetu, but I think his end was fitting. I mean, the guy was an idiot and went out like one by picking a target he had absolutely no chance against.

For those who question how just 3 minutes have passed:

Just think or check how many times did the characters actually talked, it was in very few cases and instead we had their thoughts and the narrator cover almost everything. While they could actually talk it had no sense to do it if they had to act faster than their tongue and this make everything actually more realistic differently from most shonen anime/manga ( easy example Kuroko no Basket and the talking when doing actions )

If you add the facts that everything happened with a faster pace the anime is using, like when Gon saw Netero and reached Pitou ( just a couple of seconds ) the facts that everthing happened in so little time is not unrealistic, quite the contrary.

The moment with Knuckle and Shoot was just heartbreaking - "He looked at me as garbage" after risking everything, fighting like he had never done before. Both of them are just amazing characters.
