Holy shit, poor Knov. He's breaking down ;.;

I was also curious how Palm would do with her plans. I'm really also pretty curious to see how Morel do against that Ant. Should be a nice fight.

It's unfair how good Hunter x Hunter is every week.

The guy who voices Know did a fantastic performance this episode.

Awesome episode! Dem Knov feels!!!

Really!! I've been waiting for that scene since forever and It was absolutely amazingly done. The depiction of Knov's emotions at that moment and how he wondered WTH Gon and Killua still want to fight was pure brilliance!!! T^T Dat VAing by Miki!!!...Now u know Knov what Killua was feeling after he met Pitou for the first time XD...And to think u were making fun of him XD...Oh and I really love the OST with that scene so much >.< Brought out the emotions even better.

I just don't want to imagine what that disgusting secretary is doing inside ughhhh
Palm's ability is awesome though.

Morel's part was nice. Lol'd at the ending when he said I hate fighting people with the same tastes. Nxt ep should be amazing. And YAY!! Killua is BACK!! :D

So their plan is to have Palm take a look at the royal guards and the king so that she can track them with her ability

Knov's voice actor deserves a slow clap this day.

The scene where he broke down out in the rain was phenomenal.



Also liked being reminded how powerful the royal guard is. I didn't think the pressure from Pouf's en alone would be strong enough to break Knov. That was shocking, but I'm sure as hell glad it happened.

WooooW this was an intense episode, I was holding my breath when Knov was running and I read the manga. As other said VA of Knov did an amazing job in this episode, the way he was beggin palm not to take risks. Damn I really feel for poor Palm, she is in a shitty position :(

Pouf aura is blue, cool I though they would make is pink/purple like Hisoka's. To think that Knov broke down because he was near Pouf EN lmao.

And Killua is returning next week YAAAY !!!! I felt like crying with Gon hahaha

Yeah he was in a zetsu probably but at the same time he wasn't in Pouf's EN just near it. It shows what kind of aura monsters the royal guards really are.

Man you gotta love how good they show how someone's has lost their will, they pulled it off GREAT! You could actually feel his despair. Gotta love how balanced this anime is, it's not about who power up the most but takes real skill to defeat your opponent. You never know how a fight will turn out.

Intense episode! Knov's VA was awesome.
Glad they didn't censor the part with Bizef, and the imagination spot when Knov thinks about what Pitou might do to him. Madhouse rocks, even the stairs sight was scary in this adaptation.

But I thought his hair became white in the manga in the scene where he was crying under the rain (and it stayed so from then onwards)? I could be mistaken.

The previous episode already gave it away that Knov won't be able to come back in the place again, in the scene with everyone taking part in the invasion events he wasn't included.

Wow, the tension in this episode was incredible. They sure are showing us how terrible Neferpitou and the other ants can be. Pure brilliance. Kudos to Miki Shinichiro for the great job he did here as Knov's voice actor. The upcoming fight should be entertaining so looking forward to that.

Good episode. I like how Knov's reaction to the royal guards's aura contrast with the little speech Knov and Morel gave to Killua just after Kaito got killed.

About the aura:

It's true he was using Zetsu, but he didn't get hit by the enemy's aura, he just felt it from a distance, so technically he did not need to protect himself with Nen.

He figured that protecting with Nen would not matter either way though, that's what's part of what broke him. The other part is more about the evil nature of the aura.


We are getting a lot closer now to the big day! There is gonna be a big party at the King's palace, everyone is invited :DDD.

Not sure if trolling...

I don't think Pouf is combat-oriented...probably less so than Pitou, although Pitou's gifts are also in other areas(healing, manipulation, recon).
There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against:
One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong.
Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong.

Last episode Pitou mentioned all of its focus is on healing the king and Pouf said he would take over en duties even though his range isn't as long.

Logic dictates Knov would run into Pouf's en before sensing any other of the ants' nen.

Right! i totally forgot about something so important *slaps myself* .I can't imagine how would Knov react to Pitou's Nen then.

Just as usual another great episode of Hunter X Hunter, very tense atmosphere during Knov's infiltration, props to Knov's VA, it was incredible and felt so believable

Although I do have to say Knov was completely justified when he started freaking out, who wouldn't, entering the palace was a suicide mission to begin with, so for him to get as far as he did, get out quietly and keep his cool until he got out was nothing short of impressive, also considering the fact he was in Zetsu when he was hit by Pouf's En

Can't wait for next week, really want to see Morel put that krusty lion in his place, good to see that Killua will be back and hopefully we see more of Meruem and Komugi, those two are my favourite characters
