That was pretty badass. Killua ;o

Those fish-like projectiles looks kinda weird though. Overall, I did like the episode considering Killua is one of my favorites from the series. He looks like a living target now though.

Madhouse was tapping into their Kaiji/Akagi/OneOuts roots during that dart game. The narrator giving insight that the characters didn't want to tell each other was the icing on the cake

I didn't even realize when I read this part that Gon and Killua say the same thing about not having to show mercy to Chimera Ants. Kind of cool to see the similarities between them. As much as I like Killua's screen filter when he goes into Assassin mode, Gon's was far more eerie for me considering how atypical it is from his usual self

Really liking Octobro's seiyuu which is only making me more excited for later

Let's not get carried away here, don't forget the scene in Yorkshin where Feitan and Franklin wiped out the auction house and the entire floor was flooded with a pool of blood. They were able to accomplish that in the morning time slot. Just saying.

Overall great episode, I really enjoyed this fight in the manga and Madhouse did an excellent job. This fight always really reminded me of Yusuke's encounter with Sniper from Chapter Black of Yu Yu Hakusho.

That was so cool ^^

Ikalgo is such a BRO!! :D...Awesome friend :)
Lol'd at his eyes when he was falling wishing to be a squid XD

And Killua was absolutely BA as usual.
Taking the darts like the BOSS he is. Having mastered darts at a young age.
Also using his electricity for quicker reflexes hehe.
Finally he's starting to show his skills bit by bit.
Loved the scene he felt he was dying. Awesome job by the VA there.
How he was surprised that all this is blood and talking non-chalantly like that XD

And finally Gon. DAMN!! That was creepy as hell XD
Acting all innocent then "It'll be easier if u're a liar." "I don't need to have mercy then" With DEM Friggin eyes O_O
He probably pissed his pants XD

Well the arc is 132 chapters which is twice the size of the two longest arcs in One Piece combined so it's bound to have it's slow moments.. But to me the arc is just about to begin escpecially when they infiltrate the palace after that it's pretty much nonstop intense stuff

Good episode, cant wait to see Killua's new power in full glory. I lol'd at Ikalgo moments.

Titel for next episode is '' power x and x games'' >>>>>> we probably gonna see the girl from the ending next week :)

@ fearthebeard85, true we have seen enough blood during YSC arc but we haven't seen one of the main characters bleed this much if im not mistaken. Gon lost his hand in GI but i can't remember this much blood.

Anyways it to early to say whether this has anything to do with time-slot change. Let's wait to see how they handle later episodes.

Pretty good episode, kinda like a change of pace from all the mediocre pack of episodes we got since the King's birth. Makes me even more excited for the 2nd half and the infiltration of the palace.


Ikalgo is a pretty cool character. Octopus of the arc without a doubt.

1. I can already tell that Octopus guy is going to be one of my favorite characters in this show.

2. Ever since Killua took that needle out of his head, he's been growing on me. He's been going HAM lately, taking a page out of the Gon Freecs playbook. But putting his own assassin'ish spin on it, of course.

3. Gon had one small scene, but I loved it.

4. That Netero preview...

I'm taking a complete wild guess, as I haven't read it in a while, but I'd probably say around 7-10 episodes from now.

Everybody loves Ikalgo.

Last two episodes have been great, my only (minor) nitpick would be how they didn't put extra emphasis on Pitou's pose in this page ♥
[URL]http://i10.mangareader.net/hunter-x-hunter/235/hunter-x-hunter-327381.jpg[/URL]

Well, hopefully they'll reuse it elsewhere ... You never get too much of Pitou

The episodes are getting shorter lately... 23:35 instead of the usual 24:30
Curious O_O They could have included the omitted bit with the drat brothers begging to Ikalgo for their life, they had time for that.

Chapter 242 already (well, more like its first three pages)? That's like 98 chapters left...
Next week is gungi!
Netero's closeup was awesome, thought it was something else though

I am now convinced that either Togashi or Madhouse (or both) had a bit of inspiration from George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). Those siblings had some incestuous inclinations and them both having blonde hair does not help in shaking these thoughts lol

OMG I loved this episode so much :D 5/5

Ikalgo was really cool from the beginning of the episode till the end. Ikalgo FTW. It's been a long time since I liked a character so quickly. Ikalgo did it ;)
Gon is a beast, I loved how he turned serious and threatened Meleoron.
Killua is... I can't even describe how awesome he is.
And I really liked the gore. I'm happy the time slot changed.
That rape face at the preview. was he Netero? :D

Dude this ain't no LoGH. Main characters do not die non-epic deaths.

Great episode. Ikalgo is a cool guy indeed. That dart needle fish nen ability between the brother and sister duo is pretty cool. Killuia is really smart for figuring out how to counter that last needlefish. He lost so much blood and is still conscious. What a BOSS!! Cannot wait for next week.

Which is why HxH is so good. It usually boils down to how smart you are and what tactics you employ to win. It's not just about raw power or how much talent a character has. A fodder can beat a generally stronger character, vice versa.

Good episode.

Well I mean to put it into perspective...

The power difference in Killua's favor to the Ortho Siblings is probably to a similar level to that of Gon and Genthru and yet Gon was able to win that fight. To be fair, I can't honestly gauge those power gaps to be exactly precise because they could be greater in Gon-Genthru's case or vice versa, but you see what I'm getting at.

The Ortho Siblings almost being able to best Killua even though they were heavily outclassed in raw aura and strength was because of the situation and their strategy. The same can be said about Gon's victory over Genthru. Had the Ortho Siblings not let down their guard and finished Killua off, the same could've been said there.

So basically I'm just further reiterating what everyone already knows, but this is exactly why Nen is such a great power concept. Obviously there will still be your typical overpowered abilities, but depending on your application of your ability, strategy and the situation anyone can beat anyone. Morel wasn't bullshitting when he told Killua that.
