| Pretty terrible episode. There was no plot development with this glacial pacing. Too much time was wasted on the citizen of the country and his fear of needing to escape as well as too much time on poufs explanation and then youpi which we've gotten tired of this tenth episode in a row with youpi still using the same dull physical moves. |

| It's pretty obvious why Pitou stopped Pouf. The reason is because Pouf always hated Komugi because she was influencing the King too much and made Pouf think that it was the best opportunity to kill Komugi at that point. Because of 1. King wasn't near by and wouldn't find out. 2. Pouf can claim he didn't do anything even if he did kill Komugi since Komugi was close to her death already. Pitou knows this as well, this is why Pitou warned Pouf not to come closer as a warning to show that Pitou is doing it for the King . |

KiraSeika said: Pitou knows this as well, this is why Pitou warned Pouf not to come closer as a warning to show that Pitou is doing it for the King . I don't think so. Pitou's mind was occupied with one thing and one thing only. Komugi's well being. The biggest threat to Komugi's life from her perspective is Gon, not Pouf. She doesn't necessarily aware of Pouf's desire to get rid of Komugi. |

| Thank you for saving Shoot Knov !!!!!!! OMG Pouf what are doing there??? Youpi transforms in next week : 0 |
keragamming said: I did also said after this arc ends..... If Togashi ever decides to release another chapter, I think there's a high chance of getting some Troupe and Kurapika panel time again. Too bad it's never gonna happen ;_; |
| I liked how the parallels of "there never was a real one" was used as an opening for Knuckle and lol @ Pouf's one-man army of trolls. With the way things have been progressing, I think Bizef's thought process during his piggyback ride contributes to the loss of faith in humanity. "If I'm captured by the federation, they'll force me to confess for a cover story and throw me in prison for life or they'll execute me, so I can't talk" doesn't sound very different from the cruel behavior of the ants at the beginning of the arc and Bizef, himself, was already a lost cause to begin with in regard to his "personal assistants". Zeno ended up attacking an innocent bystander, which was accidental, but doesn't help the argument for humanity either and made him question himself enough to call it quits. Most importantly, you have Gon who is so far gone (lol) that he can only be portrayed with cold, lifeless eyes at the moment and by extension, Killua reverting back to his primal instincts against Youpi to release the stress of possibly losing his best friend. Conversely, the ant king has become humanized through his love of Komugi and the royal guards have followed suit through their love for the king. Not to mention, Meleoron was overflowing with tears when he wasn't able to help Shoot and IkalBro is too afraid to really go in for the kill. Some interesting stuff here, Togashi. |

| Dammit, Morel!! I can't believe you let that drama queen steal your pipe! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Grateful to Knov for saving Shoot! Now he'll be patched up and good to go in time for our wedding. :-) |

| That's not Yupi's final form. |
 |
| Knov, you're awesome. he saved Shoot. Will Pouf listen to Pitou? I'm excited for the next episode. |
Albi-kun said: Knov, you're awesome. he saved Shoot. Yeah, not really. If he wasn't such a coward, Shoot would probably never be in that state to begin with. |
SetsukoHara said: Albi-kun said: Knov, you're awesome. he saved Shoot. Yeah, not really. If he wasn't such a coward, Shoot would probably never be in that state to begin with. Probably not, the original plan was for Knov to team with Morel to fight Pouf. |

| This episode had nice amount of action. However, my favorite part of this episode was the ending. You know that something is about to go down. This episode was not a let down for me. |

Aren't the royal guards a lot more powerful than their enemies? Why waste time stealing the pipe and throwing it at sea when she sneaked behind him instead of just smashing his head and ending everything there? . You forgot that he was trapped in Morel's Jail. His nen could have strengthened after his death, same for the clones who were already created. Does Pouf even know that? Serious question, cause I don't remember. Are you people on drugs? She wasn't in his smoky jail at all when what i said happened and no one seems to correct the guy who answered me.. |
| Pouf doesn't want to fight, he wants to go to the king as fast as he can so he just took his weapon and left and pouf's the weakest physically so morel can keep up for a few minutes. |
 |
| Hmm a decent episode. The ending was really good. I absolutely love how Knuckle got that hit in which totally surprised me. That's how you attack! And I like the fact that Pitou told Pouf not to come any closer, such intensity and then that look Pouf gave Pitou was a nice touch. I really want to know what Pouf will do. I mean he can only gain from such a situation, it'll be two of the royal guards against Gon and Komugi will end up dead. Pouf truly has no reason not too intervene, but ahhh yes its the King's order so that's it right there. And of course I didn't like the lack of Killua in this episode :/ |

She wasn't in his smoky jail at all when what i said happened and no one seems to correct the guy who answered me.. Pouf's move was the best possible choice for him. It wasn't stupid at all. "Aren't the royal guards a lot more powerful than their enemies?" Even if that is true, that is only noticeable from a third person view. The royal guards nor the elite hunters are not dumb. They are always considering the worst case scenario and is always opting for the lowest risk choice which would benefit their main objective. Pouf didn't know what else Morel was capable of. There's a chance that Morel could react faster and defend his attack from behind resulting to a battle which he is trying to avoid. He doesn't want to fight Morel because even if he wins, it would waste a lot of his time and it might be too late before he finds the king. The king is always his first priority. He decided to steal Morel's pipe because he thought that it was essential to Morel's smoke-creating ability which he did confirm after seeing Morel not creating any more clones when battling Youpi. That's what I like about HxH. The characters actually uses their brains instead of just rushing and hitting the enemy. Also they don't explain their powers to the enemy unlike any other shounen battle manga. |
| This better not be the only thing Pouf can do. |
| Pouf's beelzebub ability is quite useful and weird. Morel got his pipe stolen. Knov saved Shoot. Pouf has now showed up to Pitou and Gon. The preview looks good. |

The best scenario and least risky one, was to kill Morel with a fast attack, since Morel might interfere in the future. I think Morel was supposed to die, but Togashi didn't carry it out and changed his mind or he really just likes not to finish battles. There is no reason for Morel not to die in this situation. |
|
| Pouf's new form, i think its not cloning, its more like dividing himself into smaller parts... and his "clones" giving us an overview of what's happening around... pretty much a decent episode... hope will see the match between Netero and the King soon... |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |

| MgZ that's not the case, it's more of a "let's keep him alive for interrogation in case he had used a "persistent" ability on the king and might endanger him. Somewhat crippling him is better than killing him. Persistent as in smoke jail, hakoware, hotel rafsomething, judgement chain, genthru's countdown, etc... Pouf unlike the others has no idea what's going on, being confined and all, so he needs to be cautious. |

| People seem to forget the occasional back and forth reports to Pouf regarding Morel's clones in the second act of this arc. He and Pitou both learned about Knov and Morel and some of their abilities from Hagya, Cheetu, Flutter, and whatever stuff Hagya told Lobster and Welfin that may or may not be true. |

| Are you seriously comparing someone as strong as Youpi to Morel who is just a mere human? Not to forget the fact that Pouf is probably stronger than Killua. |

He never even claimed that CG was super intelligent or anything It has everything to do with it. It shows a lack of credibility. For someone to argue about strategy, going as far as attacking people, while he shows a very poor example of what he considers strategic. And that series is the only showing on his side of what his view is like, if not that, what am I supposed to take in? He sure lacked any coherent thoughts and only demonstrated his dismay toward others who considered it strategic, and that they "need to get their heads checked". If you're being vague, don't complain that people actually gave a thought and tried to dig around to get your view. (Which subsequently turned out to be disappointing) |

| While I always liked that developement in the manga, I never was really satisfied with it. Like someone stated, Morel may be real badass expierenced, but Pouf still should be a LOT stronger than him and therefore I always thought he should "just" have defeated him. Just because Pouf never really does something that makes him seem superstrong like Pitou or Youpi, he still is a Royal Guard and stronger then all the humans that have invaded (except for Netero and MAYBE Zeno). Gon's oh-so-scary stare wouldn't help at all if Pouf were to attack him. |

JamalKing said: I'm not insulting anybody, just stating what I see :) Reread this.... "Still think all of you guys/gals pining over the non existent "strategy" and "psychological" battles* need to get your heads checked." If you still don't think you are insulting people who have different opinion than yours... Then there are 2 possibilities: 1) You are trolling 2)You don't understand what an insult is. Case No2 can be easily explained for you... Case No1 will lead into ignoring you... |

Gon's oh-so-scary stare wouldn't help at all if Pouf were to attack him. He only had one shot. One hit. After that Morel AND his clones would react. If he were to attack directly, he'd have to finish him off with 1 hit. In case you haven't noticed, in order to sneak up on someone, you'd at least need to conceal your nen with zetsu, at least until the stealth is done. So nen force is out the window. What else do we have? He could have snapped his neck, but is he fast enough to grab him without morel reacting? I don't know. He could have attacked with aura at the last second, but we have nothing to show his offensive capabilities. All his abilities are for a larger scope, and all are indirect. Another reason might be that he did not want to kill him; they'd keep him alive for information. |
