Cool episode.

Is it just me who hates the mass of people in these threads saying things like "next episode X will happen!" or "I can't wait to see Y". Or the old "Ahh, you are close but you will find out why soon".

As long as nothing is spoiled I usually don't pay any mind to it.

Quite a turn of events, so this is what Satotz meant when he said the exam wasn't over, that the thing that separates true hunters from half assed grads is Nen. Gon may have lost his match but it seems he's gained something far more valuable. I also like how they treat severe injuries appropriately in this series, where people don't get magical plot regenerative abilities to pretend it never happened.

man gon really needs to work on his bull-headedness. i understand being eager about awakened powers but its pure idiotic to just rush into battle like that, and he obviously hasn't learned a lesson/matured from it

also that stranger randomly offering to teach kurapika needs some explanation

Niceto get a peek at Kurapika. At first I was peeved at the cliché of him and the other two discovering Nen around the same time like a checklist, but the hints are there that this isn't a coincidence -- surviving your first year as a "Hunter" (or protecting your license from theft) might be the true passing test, and anyone with Nen is out for new blood to slurp.

Gon certainly learned how to use ren quite quickly. Wing recognized gon’s potential and development as being someone to be able to master such abilities steadily.
Very subtle hint towards some major foreshadowing, though only manga readers would be able to catch it.

Damn the animation in this fight is just really fluid. I took a look back at the old series to see the difference and this new show is just on a whole new level.
We see kurapica again coming to the realization that he can’t push forward until he has learned nen as well. Someone else suddenly halts him.

If I hadn't known better, I would say this is all all been orchestrated behind the scenes. Wing suddenly appears, teaching gon and killua and now this random guy approaching kuripica. You think it’s just a coincidence? I think not.

Oh wow, I feel really retarded that I just understood what Satotsu meant by ''the real exam starts now'' xD

Wing seem to feel really guilty... I hope he don't fall into madness, because he's doing more and more crazy faces recently.

Of course, Gon was no match against a veteran of the 200th floor. That Gido knew what he was doing and he has done it numerous times.

Finally some Kurapika. Hopefully we theres an ep like this for Leorio.

The whole Nen thing is kind of new. If it was going to be this important they should hinted it or mentioned it earlier on.

why not? literally as soon as pika and leo left, gon and killua immediately went to the tower. why wouldn't pika and leo do what they wanted basically at the same time?

but even taking that it was cleche into account, "peeved"? not simply annoyed? ok.....
-----
wow didn't know that more people than i thought knew about beyblades lol. the only reason why i know about it is because my little siblings are obsessed about it.

poor gon! he's so beat up X( i was thinking that the eps were going too fast over a span of time but what are they supposed to do? show months upon months of training? i doubt even the glorious HXH would make that exciting.

i really liked it when hisoka told gon he was ready, he still started to shake. even though he is in the tower entirely because of him, that doesn't change or get rid of his fear.

but he keeps going forward! :)

(P.S, i once hated the ED, but i came to love it. now i dead it because it signifies the ending and then the ep seems so short D:)

Man... Gon was foolish to immediately fight like that. He's missing out on valuable training time with Wing-Sensei. But I'm sure he and Killua will master Ten in the meantime.

It bugs me when a series introduces a new super secret power, then suddenly everybody knows it and if you don't then you're trash. One piece did the same thing with haki, everybody was doing fine without it, then suddenly it's introduced and now anybody who can't use it is a scrub.They could at least let it remain mysterious and powerful for a little while longer, rather than immediately becoming a prerequisite for basic hunter work.

Nah but they're implying that it has been used all along, the MCs just didn't know what it was called. For example, Gon used it to hide from Hisoka, and Killua's brother had used it on him. They just didn't know it was Nen.

Gon finally figured out the Beyblades moves.

No way Gon was gonna Gon his way through this one.

Kurapika couldn't see her Stand.

Now Kurapika is going to learn Nen. I wonder if Leorio will as well.

I believed this show would be about hunters. Capturing animal or protecting them, bounty hunters, treasures, exploring caves and ruins, etc. However, it looks like it will be based on this Nen martial art thing. Hmm... I think I won't like it too much.

So cute when he was lecturing Gon :') they're like brothers -^.^-

I feel a little bad for Zushi. Wing's focus and excitement has shifted towards Gon and Killua bc of their monstrous potential ><
Hisoka has trouble restraining himself too ^^'

Can't wait for the upgraded Kurapika either! :D

Gon's presence-erasing technique was actually a form of Nen he did without even realizing it, wow! Watching him dodge all those tops for that long with his eyes closed was amazing.

Kurapika's found out about mastering Nen being the real last part of the Hunter Exam and a fellow Hunter volunteered to teach him how to learn how to fight like he does.

the OST actually improved, not just in the kurapika scene but also the scene where kilua enter the room after talking to wind, i got chills just from the soundtrack.
i actually thought that the end of the battle won't be showed, i had mistaken, those are kind of battles that interesting, hope it will keep up like this.
the end of the episode clerified me why the exam arc wasn't over yet, now i understand it all.
it's good to see kurapika again, and when hisoke watched gon and smiled i was just like him.

Can't even be surprised Gon x Killua is a ship that makes sense

Ok, so I get why Killua is inherently so strong, but why is Gon? Hope that gets explained

Nice to see Kurapika again. I'd like to see him learn nen

So what's the "real test"? Learning nen? Why did Hisoka just take the test if he already knew it?
