THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

Why is Kuwabara/Josuke in my Hunter x Hunter?

Lots of stuff to go over this week
We're back to the fast pacing like it was before NGL, though I get why Madhouse slowed it down for that section. Kite was just introduced and his death in the anime wouldn't have had the impact it did had they not fleshed not the genesis of the Chimera Ants

I'm enjoying the return of the lighter tone after the NGL excursion, our minds can only take so much dread week after week. 4 new characters were introduced

1. Palm (Voiced by Kikuko Inoue which is a far cry from Belldandy X D)
2. Knuckle
3. Shaiapouf
4. Shoot(not really yet, only a quick glimpse)

Their quirks are all interesting and unique whether it's Palm's unstable mind or Knuckle weak to dogs. Shaiapouf's entrance was probably the most interesting with the string OST that played, his butterfly wings are colored beautifully

I found it pretty funny when Gon was saying he would complete the Chairman's test faster than expected only to get punched in the face by Bisky. Training takes time Gon, thought you already learned that from Greed Island. I'm glad Bisky is back to train the boys though, they need all the help they can get.


You have no idea how excited I am to see Morel strut his stuff, people will learn why this guy is such a badass

Based Knuckle.

The fast pacing is such a breath of fresh air. I loved it.

That's way tooooooooooo much sugar.

Ohi Bisuke. I remember you. Palm is one interesting person that's for sure. Idk why but her expressions reminds me of Shinobu a little from Railgun manga.

His neck was never shown. There was a glare every time his head was in the picture obscuring his neck to imply it wasn't connected.

Palm is so strange of a character. Gon and Killua going back into training is cool and m glad to see Bisky back. I can't wait to see what they do about the chimera ants when even the chairman is weaker then Neferpitou. HxH once again succeeding in peaking my interest.

Bisky is back! Glad they animated her reading the gay porn mags.

People need to realize that Netero's referring to Pitou's strength in aura... that doesn't mean he's "no match" for her. Like Morel said: "You can't make assumptions based upon the amount of aura displayed" - the tide of a nen-battle can be turned just as easily based upon one's skill and experience as can the raw strength of one's aura.

Still you gotta admit it's scary that Pitou is said to be stronger (even if it is just aura) than the strongest non-chimera ant in this arc so far.... Especially with 3 more that are just as strong if not stronger than Pitou.

Pretty good episode, I was waiting for Bisuke to show up again. I kind of prefer the manga for Knuckle.. but that might just be because I read the manga first. To me, Knuckle's character seemed more entertaining.

Even though Netero said Pitou might be stronger than himself, Bisuke did also mention that Netero tends to lie.

So, another Royal Guard has shown himself. And, a whole bunch of other new characters as well. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out from here.

The stuff about what power to choose that Pitou was talking about flew over my head. Hope they explain that soon, he's a specialist so it must be something interesting but I don't see how he can choose what it will be.

Glad they shed some light on what i was wondering from last weeks shocker it would'd been a waste to not use Kite's body still kinda sad to see him all frozen and stuff.

Was that crazy face next to Pitou just her Aura or her getting an ability?

Nice episode :)

Training time. Loved Bisky's new looks ^^ Her ability is really convenient for training. U train for 23 hrs a day and the ability will make the 1hr rest u have feel like a lot of rest time ;)

Palm is hilarious XD And she is totally gonna be Yandere for Gon. Poor Gon XD

Knuckle is also hilarious hahaha. U're wrong Killua there is someone that stupid XD

Loved the scene when Netero said "Yabekunai" "That thing is stronger than me?" The way he said it was hilarious XD

Pitou and Pouf's conversation was nice :D

Pitou wanting to fight Kite more was sooo......cute? :P

Really can't wait for upcoming episodes >_<

In HxH, just because a character is weaker than another doesn't necessarily mean they'll lose. It's been clear for a really long while now.

It has to be impossible for Netero and crew to be weaker than Neferpitou and co. They have years of experience while the ants just have what, a few weeks. Additionally isnt he like the strongest nen user in the world, he is chairman afterall. Ill just imagine he was being humble and modest about his own strenght in front of his peers.

Did the yaoi magazines remind you of him?

Anyway it's better that Hisoka, Leorio and Kurapika won't appear in a while, their appearances later would be more interesting after we've missed them.
