Holy shit, I loved how Madhouse executed Hisoka's internal conflict about who to kill next.

Wait, so there aren't any "cruel" consequences when you wish for a healing? Unless Killua was bluffing, that seems to make Alluka overpowered. All of the requests she makes after healing Gon will be easier than what they "should" be. (In my mind, I'm picturing less lethal requests as inherently easier to meet.)

Maybe it's too early to call.

Other than that, it was an interesting episode. Hisoka's internal monologue was a good reminder of his actual personality. He's often putting on an act for others, so seeing this side of him was a nice change. He's taken out quite a few Hunters already.

Leorio is still in the top four. It would be kinda funny if he ended up becoming chairman. I'm not sure if I would seriously want him heading the Hunter association, though.

I have to agree , but today's episode redeemed it for me , hope they continue like this , This arc is way better in manga format though as it was supposed to be a fast intense chase but Madhouse slowed it down.

Yeah, they slowed it down. I thought this arc would be over on 145-146. A bit disappointed.

agreed that it is better in the manga. The election is easier to follow in manga format too. I wonder how people will react to an episode full of "politics".

Too bad Morel doesn't want to become chairman. He would get my vote.

A lot happened in this episode, but I wish they had drawn it out more, with more battle scenes.

Yes we know that Hisoka is awesome and would easily wipe out most hunters, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have spent a whole episode just showing some of this technique, and thus the impact of the Seiren group or whatever losing would have been stronger.

I didn't read the manga but I actually think this episode was almost perfect pacing... despite what I just said... the pacing stretch that Dragon Ball Z used won't work that well for HxH, or else we'd be up to 1,000 episodes already! :)

It's because he is just honest. He really didn't have any other skill to backing his honesty.

I think Morel is really strong though. We didn't really seen him go all-out yet, either. He is smart too which one of important aspect on nen battle. He just being modest and stated a fact that his ability more suitable for support role.

Lots and lots of mind games and machinations this week. A pretty solid episode overall. I really quite liked how they handled Morel's conversation with Terradin -- much more interesting and cleverly framed than a press release video like it was in the manga.

Next week is Leorio's finest hour. Get hyped ya'll.

Even tho i know Hisoka is being serious, he always makes me laugh with his inner toughts - ''kill him? or him? or maybe both? huhuhu'', just too hilarious.If he did something to Alluka or Killua tho...i would not laugh, and my opinion of him would probably change.
Thank you Madhouse again, you're doing an amazing job as always.Will stay with all my heart for remaining last 5 episodes *bursts into tears*


I fangirl'ed in that killua face <3 <3
Well RIP Gotoh ;-;
But God it's becoming more amazing how can there be only 4 episodes left ? T_T Togashi please stop slacking already.

That gets addressed in about 2~3 episodes. If you can't wait, some major spoilers in this... well, spoiler. Don't say I didn't warn you, though.

He knew Illumi can control people but he doesn't know it was nen ability until he learned it himself. Illumi's disguise was not controlling people but a......disguise. Also it might have something to do with the needle in Killua's head, as he stated he forgot about Alluka until he removed the needle.

Decent and entertaining episode. Loved seeing Killua get angry and even tear up, Killua is a great brother to Alluka. Hisoka was absolutely hilarious when he was thinking about who he should kill so one of them will be after him lol. And damn a lot of people were killed off, that was an interesting ending with Hisoka killing that politician guy. Can't wait to see Leorio be funny next episode and maybe even become Chairman, I know it's probably between Leorio and Partison. Oh yeah, it was nice seeing Bisky. Can't wait to see what happens next! Can't believe the HxH anime will be ending, HxH has always been the highlight of my week for over a year now :(

The Narrator plays a lot less part in this arc , but he still plays it in explaining powers for example , and the Narrator was not used because "People are not smart" It's used in the Chimera ant as a technique to slow down and detail every thing happens , also plays the role of an omnipresent character that was used to give the feeling that everything happens slowly with also explaining things that can't be showed off by animation or acting like the time spent , If a character is tricking his mind into believing something he believes otherwise , If someone was too focused on something that he didn't hear any word another person said , Also it was used to shorten time at some points , Like at some part when someone is telling another one what happened while that someone was also giving some indicators.

Great episode. I liked it, especially because of the Illumni and Killua interaction towards the end.

And of course my nigga Hisoka.

One thing I only noticed this time through with the anime is that no one was aware of Hisoka even being involved in this? He killed everyone he ran across, and Killua and his butlers were only aware of Illumi I believe.
