| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Gon vs Hisoka finally! I realy don't believe that Gon stand any chance against Hisoka, 'cos their ability levels are way too different. But... this anime more and more resembles Dragonball, and Gon is just like Goku - have much potential and willpower so i guess everything is possible. |
| Well, I don't think Gon will win...unless Hisoka forfeits (as he has been known to do), but Gon did manage to do what he set out to do: punch Hisoka in the face and return his badge. |
 |
| I think Gon wasn't planning to win from the beginning just to punch him and give the badge back~ The fight was still awsome :DD |
 |
| i was thinking for sure i'm gonna have to wait for the next episode to watch them fight. that definitly was an awesome fight, ppl could use that for amv's. |
     |
| Great episode. I doubt Gon will win but I can see the match being a close fight and hopefully Hisoka will go batshit crazy again. |
 |
| That was definitely a good episode. Still have to admit I'm a little tired of everything coming naturally to Gon, though. He mastered "Gyo" in one night? Come on... Maybe I cheer too much for the underdogs, like Zushi. But I even prefer Hisoka as a character, heh. Just that much more interesting, and a very intriguing villain. |
| amazing gon :D |

Didn't the master give an explanation for that. Besides, it also came naturally to Killua as well. As far as I'm concerned Gon gets beat up so often in this anime that I can't really think of him getting an easy pass. That's what I love about this anime. Gon is not miraculously defeating people. He's not given a win. I was quite impressed when he got so badly beaten by Hanzo because there was no miraculous win. That's one of the reasons why I like this anime. With him fighting Hisako, I expect a definite loss but at least it will give Gon more experience. |
| DAT MOMENT at the end, magnificent! Loved the episode and indeed the fight was awesome! I doubt Gon will win, but at this pint who knows?? (Well I dont xD) |
 |
| i'm surprised nobody has yet to mention the similarities with the rivalries of gon and hisoka and yusuke and toguro. they are very similar. yusuke was no where near toguro and had to train to beat him, while toguro waited for him to get stronger, knowing about his potential. same thing with gon and hisoka. I believe Togashi was definitely inspired from his previous series |
| Good work Gon, that attack was awesome! |
 |
| Hmmm, I really don't like how fast those two are learning Nen. The exam took 30 episodes but this arc seems to be rushing by way too fast. :\ I like the 6 Nen categories though, makes me wonder what I'd be! |

YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT SEE YOU, SPACE COWBOY... |
| No wonder people "enjoyed" this arc way more in this version, just by the way it was structured & paced a bit faster... |
  |
| ^ Not a fan of the way they did it myself. I think Madhouse improved this arc a lot in the 2011 version. Dat buttslap from Killua tho. |
| A bit disappointed how they skipped over the fight with Kastro completely. I hope they get back to it later, but I've already seen it in the remake so I'm not going to complain if it doesn't happen. I'm surprised by how much got skipped over in this version and so I'm extremely grateful to HxH 2011 for taking its time to focus on those things. Hisoka vs Gon looks really good so far but once again the remake spoiled me silly with this match so it's going to feel like a bit of an underwhelming recap. It was so satisfying to see that pay back punch again though. |

| It's interesting how different nen types are depicted with different colors. Transmuters = purple, enhancers = gold, manipulators = green, (conjuror)??? = blue.

It was so satisfying to see that pay back punch again though. Don't miss rewatching Kastro but it's an odd+abrupt choice to skip it over. Wonder how it was depicted in the manga. Same with the Gyro rematch. Gon vs. Hisoka match needs more perv. |
 |
| Awesome closure to the Gon vs Hisoka storyline. What will Gon's next mission be? Will he finally start searching for his father? |
 |
on 
| Why would you completely skip over the match between Kastro and Hisoka when you gave a 10-minute introduction to Kastro last episode ? That's also the match where Hisoka's Nen gets explained... But no, better use our resources for those 5 filler episodes earlier in the show. |
| That ending was brilliant! Really loved it! And I'm really curious to see what's next. |
 |
| It took me a few seconds to realize that guy with a bathrobe was Hisoka with no makeup and his hair down! He looks way better! (no homo) There're even MORE variations of nen! I can't even begin to imagine the opponents with these other nen types out there... Best fight so far... The fight is top quality back when this ep was made in 2000. The moves Gon did were also awesome. Just epic all around! |
  |
| Seems like at the speed Gon is improving, he'll soon catch up to Killua. |
| Despite I watched this battle in the 2011 anime, I was very excited, watching Gon managing trough Hisoka’s defenses was cool. Hisoka asking that woman to go on a date, also, she is very interesting. Hisoka with wet hair, so different. That hatsu thing, I don’t think they’re gonna use it now, but it’s gonna be very important in the future, especially, developing fighting styles. |
 |
| Hisoka without the makeup is an interesting look. Nice to learn even more about the aura and how people have different skills based on it. Gon vs Hisoka at last! - He finally manages to land a punch and give him back his badge! |
