Mmmhhmm excellent episode! This was really tense, I wasn't sure of what Gon was gonna do...it was scary. But I never really liked Gon all that much, this just made me not like him even more, way overreacting, he should be thankful Pitou brought Kite back to life in one way or another. This just shows that he really is just a kid, emotionally selfish he would let Kogumi die to have his revenge.


Yeah, I'm definitely going to thank Pitou for bringing my friend back to life as a zombie/puppet. Especially when they're the ones who dismembered him in the first place. :)

How Gon reacted was just perfect, what he saw Pitou doing WAS unfair.


way overracting?: NO, this is going to be the eternal problem of this version, kite was an important person for Gon (kite appears in the 1st manga chapter).
- why gon should trust pitou
gon: what am I supposed to wait for?
save her?? how dare you say that?
AND AFTER WE WAIT, ITS LIKELY THAT THIS THING WILL DO WHAT I WANT?

This is a real conflict, not the typical fight or the IDEALIST MAIN CHARACTER like Luffy

Yep, one of the reasons why I like Gon's reaction in this episode so much since it was so consistent with his characterization up until then and revealed him as ticking bomb waiting to explode. It was a very intense episode but without a fight which is quite surprising. Now that I think about it, I genereally like when an episode can keep me at the edge of my seat without any fight like in SNK when (anime spoiler)
So much suspense.

He doesn't know the girl, from Gon's perspective, she could as be just as evil as The King and Pitou, he has no reason to trust either of them especially when Kite was destroyed in front of them and the Chimera Ants main objective is to enslave a whole nation and later take over the world.

Gon deserved to be slapped in this episode, it was the first time it felt like it, and it was freaking annoying.

Maybe if we didn't know the relationship between the others that'd be ok to watch, but like this it is painful.

Can people really take this episode? My greatest anime regret this year would be picking up HxH. I already knew that I will hate the show because the protagonists are kids. And I can't take any drama seriously involving kids which subsequently lead to me hating the entire series. Killua is cool though. Body of child and mind of an adult. But Gon is just fucking annoying. Last thing I want is a annoying main especially for a long running series. Previous year biggest regret was guilty crown

Watching this episode make me cheer for Pitou instead of Gon.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

in the last couple of episode discussions i've laid into hunter x hunter for being slow and nothing really moving along, narrator being annoying etc etc, but there is nothing i can say other than this episode was probably one of the most emotional, intense episodes of anime i've watched in a while!

Just.. wow, gon's voice actor/actress was just sublime, and even Killua, his facial expressions and mannerisms, you could see how much he was breaking, fair play, to bring out an episode like that is just phenomenal I can't lie, previous episodes haven't been that great, but this one almost made up for it!

Also judging the response this episode has received (went from 8 pages to 26) everyone else agrees!

Really intense episode. I actually wrote a few paragraphs but deleted it because the story's so intense that I'd rather continue next episode than think anymore about the current miserable point

Tldr Killua makes the sacrifices in their friendship, he needs to stop letting/enabling Gon to be that selfish, and Gon is being the type of asshole we can understand. Everything was beautifully drawn.

God this episode was amazing. This arc is really challenging Gon and Killua and pushing them to their limits mentally.

Gon has been getting on my nerves this arc, Killua saying Gon is selfish is so true. He was almost blowing off Komugi (who is freaking innocent) together with Pitou. He has done nothing for the people of NGL while Killua was rushing around alarming people. This brat..

Gon scared the shit out of me... Like damn, chill out bro. For a moment I thought he was about to hit Killua, too.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

This episode gave me freaking chills. Gon's character development is amazing. I think back to the exam arc and how the kid was just too damn nice and cheerful all the time and now he's grown and seen so much and he has all this pain and rage inside him.

My heart collapsed when he told killua he must not care since he was acting so calm. And the look on killuas face was heart breaking.

I dont think we can really judge Gon for how he's acting tho. I mean it's not like hes having a tantrum over losing a toy...he wants to avenge his friend and a lot of the anger is because he feels guilty and now probably confused that this creature he was so sure was evil is showing a humane side.

I stopped breathing several times this episode, so much suspense. I can't even put the sensation into words. The emotion in Gon's voice was on a whole different level and I could feel the rage and pain he was struggling with. I was seriously expecting him to snap and attack a few times. When he said that it meant nothing to Killua, I thought that even though that's not true, this weighs on Gon even more because Kite has a direct connection to Gon's father.

HxH is one step closer to a 10 for me.

*Claps* Didn't expect Gon's torn-apart mind to affect me this much. When he was starting his Jajanken and Killua stopped him, saying that Pitou might be able to heal Kite, I was half-hoping that he would say "No. I've always known Kite is dead," and proceeded with the attack.
But in the end he's still Gon. The hopeful Gon. I could feel, though, the tremendous growth he gained from seeing an accursed enemy in that state, knowing that he is on the upper hand, and having to weigh on channeling his anger or following that path of idealistic hope. Yeah, in the end he's still Gon.

In another hand though, it simply confirmed how black and white the Royal Guards are. They are not even as multilayered as the King. They are simply following what he ordered to do, and that irks me a lot because it could send off some false vibes of sympathy. There is no such thing. They're simply following orders.

Brilliant episode! Im getting all teary up. Yess i would agree if Gon just smack Pitou on her face. Its really not fair after what she had done to Kite, why must this time when Gon so fired up to kill her, WHY MUST THIS TIME she had to heal people. Gon must be soooo f-ing frustrating!! Ugh!
But at the same time, Im also agreed that Killua stop him. Yes, Gon should not said that Killua didnt care but considering Gon is not in his right mind.. Killua.. T_T
Gon, u know all Killua have ever cared is only u,Gon!! Ugh this feels!!!!
I think all their expressions, their feels, their actions in this ep were just perfect!

Internal conflict is nothing knew with Gon. So it was a meh episode. Predictable really.

The mission at hand transcends Kite. The lives of his comrades are at stake. Like Gon said himself, they are going off "probably and likely". Pitou's Allegiance is to the King and no one else. Pitou can crush Gon and Killua.

At least accept the offer of taking his legs and hand for godsake.

But Gon is not a man-child, he's a child plain and simple. I don't even know why you would hold him to the same standards as characters who are 10 to 20 years older than him.

Well dammit, not getting anywhere with the fighting I see.

And Gon has gone completely out of control due to anger, which was pretty intense to finally see.
But other than that situation happening, Pitou's reaction towards Gons anger episode was quite amazing to witness, from her facial expressions to her voice and willingness to give up her arm or both legs is just an amazing show of how loyal she is towards the King, outstanding side of the character that I really enjoy indeed.

thing is.. will she keep her promise that was made to heal Kite? or find some kind of way to take Komugi and get her to safely? a lot of situations run through my head about that.

we'll see what happens.

I love this episode. One of the greatest episodes I've seen so far.

Gon's out of control anger is understandable enough. Killua, being the voice of reason is also expected.

But, Neferpitou's resolve to save the life of Komugi is quite unexpected.

And when the three finally met..... You're treated with genius writing.

While I do understand Gon's anger, he was so out of control this episode and I honestly wanted to smack him in the face. He needs to realize that by rushing/killing Pitou, he not only cannot get Kite back, but he is trading Komugi's life.
