| Although there wasn't any action this episode, I gotta say that was a really good episode. Now Gon's gotta wait an hour for Pitou to heal her. What happened to Killua at the end, he just went up and left? |
 |
| Oh my god. That was amazing.. awesome.. literally breathtaking xD renders said: I find it brilliant how Pitou who had that malevolent aura...how Togashi made you feel sorry for her and be afraid of the main guy who you're rooting for This!! I feel so sorry for Killua, I almost cried when he left in the end ;_; This show is just getting better and better.. I can't wait for the next ep |

Guilek said: pkKodama said: gedata said: pkKodama said: tsudecimo said: Great episode, hadn't watched a good one since episode 108. 4/5. Killua was too perceptive again in this episode, it felt forced. But his calm demeanor through all these crazy unforeseen situations is interesting to see. He feels a bit conflicted about Gon and sincerely worried and/or he is probably have the leaving Gon thing on his mind, he seems somewhat absent minded considering the stuff that are happening around him. Gon's character really doesn't make sense to me, at all. His rage, mentally un-stability and explosion of emotions in this episode left me baffled and puzzled. He feels like a different character all together or a bi-polar character. I can't gasp his thought process through this arc. Why is Kite that important to him? I never saw him rage that much regarding other people that are close to him. His fixation on Kite doesn't really make sense, unless I'm forgetting something regarding their relationship. Not gonna raise my expectations but I hope the show keeps getting better from here. Vanser said: And how many episodes till the end of this arc? No you're not forgetting anything, Kite should be as important for Gon as he is for Killua, his rage didn't make any sense at all. And that's why I never hated a character so much like I did when I read that scene in the manga. why? They spent roughly the same time togheter. So, Kite saved Gon years ago? So what? He didn't even remember that. That's just how important that memory was for him...-.- In the mangas he remenber. It takes some time for him to remember, it's not like he was keeping that memory dearly, and if he did, that wouldn't be enough reason. His behavior towards Kite was the same as Killue when they were togheter. And that doesn't justify sacrificing a girl(Komugi). |

| He was too busy learning japanese...... :p Gon isn't logic, he isn't totaly good, he is a human with rage. Gon doesn't need good reasons he will do what he want and what is right for him. |
| Just read the section in the manga when Gon meets Kite in the CA arc, can definitely confirm that Gon remembers Kite right away. |

| This episode just flew by. That was intense. I would've never thought it was possible for Pitou to be so humble. Gon's rage was scary! If Pitou renigs on their deal and attacks after he/she is done healing Komugi, I don't think he/she will be able to successfully defeat Gon in his present state of mind. To bad I didn't write this. I would've killed Pitou and caused Komugi's death. Then, the King would be so distraught over losing his love that he would commit seppuku. Thus ending the battle and the Hunters would emerge victorious. *closing credits roll* Sent with Mal Updater |

| Does anybody know the song they used when Pitou broke his own arm? I don't remember hearing this one before, is it from the Last Mission OST? |

Probably just his rage talking without rational thought behind it. Killing an innocent person? Gon? You shouldn't expect such character derailment out of this series. |

| I had a discussion with someone about why Hunter x Hunter is different from the other shonen. THIS episode is why. All of the build up, all the foreshadowing; Satotz, Wing, Zepile, Kurapika, Nobunaga, Chrollo, Biscuit, Genthru, and everyone else Gon had met up to that point, All of the build up accumulating scene after scene. Gon constantly changing from the kid who was innocent while discovering how messed up the world around him is. Gon always hated the idea of cold-blooded killers actually feeling emotions for certain loved ones. His anger toward Nobunaga, him sparing Genthru and his buddies. He's not concerned that they are soulless killers, but he's mad that they think they are entitled to protect people while they themselves kill others. Killua's protective nature toward Gon would totally piss off Gon, if Killua were still an assassin. When Killua almost lost it being held by Nobunaga, it was Gon who knocked some sense into him telling him it's he who should stop Gon from doing anything rash. And now he is. Despite Gon telling him off (I loved how the camera pans out, putting distance between them when Gon told Killua to zip it). Gon was angry and Pitou's submissive attitude totally caught him off guard. He kept trying to lash out hoping Pitou would throw something at him so he can keep going, to no avail. Gon came in filled with rage but Pitou rendered him defenseless, ironically so, since he's the one not using any aura. This subtle character development is what makes this story divisive. The direction of this episode was outstanding. Every scene, every shot and facial expression. The MUSIC. So many new tracks were used, and fittingly so. I especially loved the first half's score. Great job for Tomoko Mori's team. She should be hired more often. Megumi Han deserves an award for her talent. It really brought the emotion to life. Her screams really touched me. This is what I felt a few months back watching To'hajillee and Ozymandias. Now an ANIME, made me feel that way. One thing I don't understand, or not sure if it's supposed to mean something: after Killua left, what's that piece of cloth blown in the air? Is it significant or does it just imply that Killua left? |

AzureFlame24 said: RagingMan said: 3 and a half minute recap, what is this? SNK? Good episode regardless. you mean One Piece? xD jk. That too, felt it was unnecesary to mention both. |
| As for the 3-minute recap. I think they wanted to end the episode at that part specifically, since Gon's scene felt over for now, next week would move to the other characters. And I don't really mind as long as the actual content is like this. kaikyaku said: I think there's also another factor which help explain gon's extreme behaviour: guilt. He is also angry at himself because, in his opinion, what happened to Kite is his fault, Kite lost an arm at the start because of him (and killua). They were no help at all, to the contrary. OR time doesn't determine friendship. If you don't think that's how real life works, then they at least established this sort of magic earlier this arc. |

I said it doesn't makes sense because I don't think Kite is a good/believable enough of a reason for the direction Gon's character development took. Nothing in the series explains why Gon think that highly of Kite, enough for him to be this crazy and obsessed about it. Gon's change is drastic and usually that sort of change happens for a reason bigger than Gon's right now, I just don't find it believable due to that. |

I don't think the fact that he saved his life makes him that important. He is showing a rage that is more befitting for someone that lost a very significant thing in his life, that made me him do a 180 turn. |
|
| That episode was really intense, loved it though 10.5/10. Still, I did actually feel a bit sorry for Pitou for a moment. Gon's rage gave me the chills :3 |

It’s an animal of isolation that’s not at all worried about its solitary lifestyle. Let’s not forget that bears get to hibernate as well. Oh, what a wonderful existence. If I’m ever reincarnated, I most certainly would like to be reborn as a bear." |

What if Nobunaga wasn't nice enough when Gon raged at him back at Yorkshin. He almost got Zebro killed when he tried to climb the Zoldyck walls, he risked killua's life and all of them when he challenged Bomber to a fight, declaring his name, while Killua was still injured. |

What if Nobunaga wasn't nice enough when Gon raged at him back at Yorkshin. He and Killua could have been killed. Good enough reason for his current state of mind? I would expect this kind of turn if Killua/Kurapika/Lerio/maybe even Biscuit if we stretch it, were harmed/killed. But someone who he met briefly that is connected to his father? I'm not saying that Gon shouldn't care a lot but the level of obsession and drastic change is not really justified if the reason was only Kite. He knew Nobunaga wouldn't kill them because they were a bargaining chip and a way to get to the chain user, he basically knew, maybe even instinctively that the were important enough not be killed. |
