| Lol Palm is a fucking mess, like in the manga. We got a strong hint of Pitou's EN last episode, now we fucking see it (even though I feel that part could have been drawn better). Netero is an insane character, when he questions if he''s weaker than Pitou, that does not mean much [as he spotted her outside of her EN's range]. I think he's just worried by the strength of her EN. Still, people now can tell it's not gonna be a picnic. :) |

| I'm glad my boy Knuckle debuted at last, he's one of my favourites because of that whole Japanese delinquent theme combined with how cute his nen ability is. I didn't rally think shoot was that cool in the manga but he seemed badass this episode and Palm is a mess just like the manga,she's falling in love with Gon. |

Kayro said: iTZAvishay said: Wtf if Netero is no match for Pitou, HOW WILL THEY DEFEAT THE KING?! And oh god this black girl is creeping me out tooooooo much. 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. Yeah, this isn't DBZ. The one with the highest power level doesn't automatically win. I don't know why people are doubting Netero's own words. If he says he isn't the strongest and that Pitou is stronger than him. Given the situation, I think the audience should believe him. Besides, he didn't say he would lose a fight against Pitou. He just said she was stronger, which Killua already stated, and that he would like to avoid fighter her. |

Netero doesn't seem like an honest type judging from previous episodes(trolling Gon and Killua), so what he says shouldn't be taken at face value(As implied by previous people). |

sjh said: Although it doesnt seem that he will be a long term character in the show. Every one of the characters introduced today, stay pretty much for the rest of the manga, but don't worry, during the Chimera Ant arc they receive a lot of character development. Knuckle is like a mix of Kuwabara and Yousuke with an awesome and cute Nen ability :9 |
| Oh man i wanna to see those nen master's fightning soon, and the training from gon and killua speed up fast |
 |
| nice episode... 5/5 the new characters are cool ..the abelities of the nov and morel are nice too. fyi....chairman is bluffiing |
| yay bisky, I hope she joins the extermination team |

ShyPhoenix said: -Quasar said: What is Kuwabara doing here in HxH? More like Josuke JJAB! LOL! Yep, I thought the same. Anyway, everytime I see Kaito's body my heart suffers. I know that Pitou is a pervert but, WTF, bury him already. |

kuity said: Netero doesn't seem like an honest type judging from previous episodes(trolling Gon and Killua), so what he says shouldn't be taken at face value(As implied by previous people). I agree that he isn't the most forth-coming person. And he has a deceitful streak. But so far, he has never lied that I can recall. But more important than that, he has no reason to be dishonest about such things, especially given the situation. Edit: And I don't know how else to take what he said in this case except at face value. He didn't say he could not defeat Pitou and he didn't say that he isn't one of the strongest. I can take "at face value" that Pitou has the stronger aura between the two and that there are other nen users that have higher 'stats' than Netero. I do think he was lying about being half his former strength though. |

| Pretty bad episode compared to HxH's standards imo. |
akihikosama said: 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. It's a lot simpler than it sounds; you develop the power you want, and your aptitude in using that power depends on how close it is to your specialty. Gon's Janken powers weren't something he discovered, for example, they are what he wanted to develop as his powers. Pitou was essentially just a great big mass of high base stats and potential. What Pitou was wondering was what special ability he should choose to develop, and since he is a specialist the field is wide open for whatever weirdness tickles his fancy. |
| Damn so excited for next week |

I guess it makes sense if you put it that way. But from what I understand is that being 100% in each category is emperor time ability that Kurapika has from his specialty. Didn't they say that a specialist is just another category where a user has just one special power that doesn't fall in into other categories? If this is the case I don't see how Pitou has a choice in his specialist ability. |

| Lol Palm has a crush on Gon, can't wait to see the chairman and his crew fighting though I want more fighting. |

If this is the case I don't see how Pitou has a choice in his specialist ability. While each person falls under a category it doesn't mean their hatsu has to be of their category. The best example would be Kastro from the Heaven's Arena arc who is under the Enhancement but one of his Hatsus the Doppelganger uses both Conjuration and Manipulation. While he can use it it takes a lot more of his energy and focus compared to using his Enhancement based hatsu. Like him Pitou can make a hatsu that is further away from his category like Enchantment, Transmutation or Emitter but the technique will take more energy and concentration. So while he can make a hatsu under his category that will be strong and easier to use he can choose from the others but with the downsides mentioned above so Pitou does have choices like every other nen user. |

Didn't they say that a specialist is just another category where a user has just one special power that doesn't fall in into other categories? If this is the case I don't see how Pitou has a choice in his specialist ability. Kurapika's Emperor Time is a bit more tricky than that. When he says 100% in each category, he means 100% of his natural ability in that category. Taking the explanation from the manga, if Kurapika were rated as a Level 10 conjurer (keep in mind that this leveling system is subjective), then his max capability in Emission, the Nen type opposite him, would be Level 4, which is 40% of his conjuration capability. Under normal circumstances, he can't utilize that full Level 4 Emission efficiency because he's not an Emitter. So in Emperor Time, he could be matched against a "Level 4" Emitter, but he will never be matched against an Emission master, who would probably rate higher on this subjective level scale. The same goes with other categories, as is respective to their percentages, which is why his Chain Jail has the condition of imposing Zetsu on his prey. That way, even if he goes against an Enhancer master (like Uvogin), even 100% efficiency of his 60% Enhancer capability can keep him bound. But getting back to Nen abilities, every person chooses his own ability. Kurapika chose his abilities, including Emperor Time (even if we didn't see that selection process). Or Emperor Time could've just been an innate ability granted to him by his genetics. That's what makes Nen mysterious, it can be controlled and molded to the user's desires, yet it also has a "mind" of its own based on the user's psyche, development, and experiences. That's why, as Wing instructed to Gon and Killua, they won't get by copying someone else's ability but rather choosing their own. Gon chose his Janken because he loves rock-paper-scissors, and Killua chose electricity because of the type of torture he endured growing up. |

| epic as always.. pitou looks so creepy. another royal guard. cant wait for last royal guard to be born. |

| Can't get enough H x H, this was a brilliant episode as well. As someone earlier mentioned - 5/5 bring on the next episode already! |

Paul said: What are you talking about? Pitou looks adorable as fuck. haha... are you sure? couldn't imagine it if she(or he?) is like that, but definitely strong as fuck, whatever lol |

| Biscuit's chosen reading material is as amazing as ever. And I forgot how awesome Knuckle is... Palm's exactly how I remember her though, >.> |

Things may be getting dark as a polar bear's asshole in this arc but I can always count on Pitou to brighten things up with her feline antics. You know, aside from beheading Kaito and all... ...and Pokkle. |

| Who said Pitou's adorable? Ew. Those muscle legs and thighs sure compliment her "adorable" countenance. *shivers* That other royal guard looks like the kind of guy I'd randomly punch on the streets. Anyone who reads people's minds is going to become a problem, plus these people are usually snobs that think they are better than everyone and think they know anything. Totally deserves a beating. Just saying. Anyways, Palm is one creepy ass character, but she's interesting and weird. I like her. She also reminds me slightly of what my hair looks like after I take a shower. Her heart throb after seeing Gon and Killua'a determination was creepy as hell though. You'd expect that ancient heart of hers to be dead after living...however many millenniums she's been alive, but surprisingly it functions normally. Must be from all the sugar she has. |

 |
| So every moment we wait those ants get more powerful member but lets wait. Yeah that seems like a logical idea lol. Instead of attacking right away before the third guard is born and they are completely even in numbers they wait like idiots. |
| What is their alternative? Attack the mound without studying the enemy, potentially getting eaten, and contribute to some ant's --- probably the king's --- godlikeness? For instance, they aren't even aware there is a second royal guard. And you want them to attack without knowing such things? No, they are using the best strategy other than attacking in force with all greatest nen users in the world. |

Monad said: So every moment we wait those ants get more powerful member but lets wait. Yeah that seems like a logical idea lol. Instead of attacking right away before the third guard is born and they are completely even in numbers they wait like idiots. If they attack the nest now, they ll use up all their Nen abilities to fight plenty of Ant fodder buffed with Nen, then the royal guards will show up and finish them off, yeah great idea too... It will take a while still until the King is born. So the best strategy now is to evaluate the enemy's power, then isolate the nest and starve off the ants until they are sure of victory, which is exactly what they re planning. |

| Am I the only one who is disappointed about them going into training again? I understand Nen is a complicated thing and I'm glad they don't get stronger by just yelling louder ::cough::DBZ::cough:: but I feel like they just finished training during GI. I would at least like to see them doing a different type of training. Sparring against each other or against Biske.....idk. I loved the tension of the previous episodes. Episode 85 has to be my favorite episode so far and for them to just hit the breaks and start meditating......it was a real buzzkill. |

I ll just say they have to finish their basic training, I guess you remember the difference in aura between Gon and Genthru in the GI arc. They have to at least get to a real pro level in terms of aura. Then it's a fighting anime, training is a logical part of it. |
| Das Feenreich! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUvxzKt5GoM |
| I was seriously pissed when I heard that they were going to have to train again, but it's definitely more realistic this way. They literally are in no position to go against Pitou or any of the royal guards, and if they didn't train they would either die...or get some super huge boost of strength in power through sudden motivation of their objectives in life/friends that support them (cough cough Fairy Tail), but yeah. I understand how you feel. Fighting animes definitely need training, though. |

Episode 85 has to be my favorite episode so far and for them to just hit the breaks and start meditating......it was a real buzzkill. Like others have mentioned, the training in this arc will be shorter and it will also be different as there is more action involved this time compared to when they trained in Greed Island. Next episode you'll see what we're talking about. Without saying much, the battles coming up should be quite fun to watch. Enjoyed the episode, first half was a tad bit slow but I expected that. Not really sure why but I'm enjoying Palm more in the anime vs the manga (though, it is still early obviously). Looking forward to see her progress (and especially seeing her later in the arc). |
