| Yeah, somehow the introduction of those 16 "managed" to slow the pace down. I though the battle would be over on this episode. It's Bean's fault for talking so slowly.-- On the other hand, Alluka just so cute, darn it. Waiting for next week is too long. |
| I just love this anime so so so so much. The writing. The complexity. The EVERYTHING. Another brilliant episode. |
 |
| I can't believe I'm saying this but the manga version > MH version, also 1,5 chapter for an episode doesn't work for me.The pacing is too slow for my liking, shame because this will be my last HxH I will see for a while and I was really looking forward to this episode. 3/5 Also its nice that Togashi balances out Hisoka, Chrollo and Illumi power levels. Fanboys used to say that Hisoka > Illumi didn't try to kill Gon after Hisoka told him not to. 300 chapters the vice versa happens and Hisoka is the one to back down. The truth is that a fight between those 3 can go either way. |

Though not because of the pacing so much as scenes like the car crash weren't particularly well done in this version imo. |

Though not because of the pacing so much as scenes like the car crash weren't particularly well done in this version imo. I disliked the car scene mosly because it took a long ass time to get there. In the manga it went from a cool phone call to a truck driving Killua's car out of the cliff in few pages. :-| |

| "Hisoka and Gotoh are about to engage in battle." Thank you for that, narrator. I had no clue. He usually has pretty meaningful things to say, so that surprised me a bit. xD Anyways, really great episode. I can't get enough of KilluaxAlluka adorableness. It's just way too endearing, especially since I have an older brother myself. Sibling love is pretty deep. (As we also see with Illumi's bloodlust, hehe. He totally has a thing for my Killua.) Good thing Killua got out before Hisoka came around. Since it looks like Illumi is chasing him from the episode preview, I wonder what role Tsubone plays in all this. She seems to be bent on bringing Killua back so he can be an assassin. Loving these family dynamics. CR didn't translate the chart, wish I could read it.

WK-Heisenberg said: They had to introduce those 16, some of them will play a fairly important role, and you will hear of some of them even in the next arc... I have to say that Mad House is doing a masterpiece with this anime, nothing to point out, excellent job. It's disappointing to know that after this arc the series will take a long break. next arc probably being animated in about 10 years from now lmao not counting the usual 1 year+ togashi hiatusxhiatus |

| Kawai aluka :3 Hyped for the next battle! |
| hmm I thought they would finish the fight in this episode. Still holding hope that 334-335 will be in the same episode and directed by Mori. It would be the best episode of this arc for me. >_< |
| Hisoka was wearing heels this episode...anyone else noticed? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Alluka was so cute this ep. her asking if theyre better of without her was really really sad. illumi was real scray i didnt see that coming at all |
Confucius said: Hisoka was wearing heels this episode...anyone else noticed? He is wearing heels since the beginning of the arc. Even in the Heaven Arena arc if I remember well. |
| I hate Leorio, his character is so lame. Too much emotion. WHERE IS KURAPIKAAAAA DD; Gotoh is so badass like damn. Canary used her GTA skills in this episode I see ;) I absolutely loved the part when Illumi wanted to kill Hisoka, MY FAV PART! |
| I can't decide whether I like Illumi or not. Also, though I love Killua I can't decide whether I think he's doing the right thing or not. Especially with all the people that could die if he can't fulfill the requests. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| And I thought this episode is the fight. *sigh* Oh well. ^_^ -------------------------------------- I can relate to this old lady.  Seeing the once little runt you helped raise now doing incredible things really makes you proud and teary-eyed. ^_^ While others see Killua and Alluka part to be the feel good scene, this is my feel good scene. |
 |
| KILLUA IS THE CUTEST! My god his love for Alluka makes me love him even more. UGH stop being such a cutie will ya!? Good episode. So nice to see Hisoka fighting once again. Its been awhile. I am absolutely content with all this Killua we have going on here. |
 |
| I loved seeing Alluka's melting moe face animated. And it's interesting to see Killua's older brother side too. insan3Spectre said: Some new music this episode? It was pretty nice. Hisoka being awesome as usual, the same for Killua. I noticed that Killua never shows his "killing intent" face to Alluka. Pretty interesting. I surprisingly missed that in the manga. I missed that too. The difference between his "kind big brother" face and "cold-blooded assassin" face is slightly more obvious in the anime. Hisoka trolling Illumi is the best thing. I look forward to Hisoka vs. Gotoh next episode. |
| Damn, I was expecting to see Hisoka vs Gotoh this episode, the week wait is going to be a killer. The truck scene was intense. I hate children, but if they were as adorable as Alluka then I probably wouldn't mind having some. Every time Godspeed is shown I get so much hype, it's just so awesome. Never get tired of it. Been waiting to see Illumi's bloodlust moment for a while. Hisoka trolling him was hilarious. Good episode, 4/5. The thing about the anime going on hiatus, what I'm worried about is not the hiatus itself, but rather the fact that it may not get picked up by Madhouse again later on. Is it 100% confirmed that it will get picked up again? |

| Cty Best mid |
| Alluka's smile was too moe. Really like seeing all these moments between the two siblings. |
 |
| I feel like Hisoka is going to betray Illumni so that Killia can save gon. |
 Syrup- Trust me when I give you this profound answer: It's shit. |
| Lmao @ Leorio in 3rd for punching Ging. Alluka's face was so damn adorable :) |
| The top 16 with Biscuit in it too! The Zodyck internal struggle! Illumi trying to kill Alluka with all those cars as a distraction. Hisoka wanting Gon to live too with a mission to kill the butlers! That smile by Alluka ^^ Hisoka versus Gotoh though!!! Just how strong are the Zodyck butlers! |
 |
| Hisoka was awesome in this episode. Really looking forward to next week episode. |
| WHAT A F*CKING CHAOTIC EPISODE! MY GOD THIS IS WHY I LOVE HxH FROM BEGINNING TO ENDING THIS WAS F*CKING AMAZING. IT WAS FUNNY, DRAMATIC, SERIOUS, EMOTIONAL EVERYTHING GOOD ALL IN ONE!!!!! THIS IS WHY HUNTER X HUNTER REIGNS SUPREME AS MY FAVOURITE ANIME OF ALL TIME! HXH FOR THE MOTHAF*CKING WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/5. Just everything, it was great. Too many great moments to mention. I really loved Killua telling Alluka that he loves her, Killua's become such a sweet guy I used to hate Killua but I love him so much! Killua was such a badass in this episode, he shined man! EFFIN GREAT! Can't wait to see Hisoka in action, him and Gotoh is sure to be a good one! I don't want either to lose or die, HXH for the win! GREAT EPISODE, NEXT WEEKS WILL BE CRAZY TOO! 10/5, SHOUTOUT TO MADHOUSE AND TOGASHI AND WHOEVER HELPED OUT WITH HUNTER X HUNTER! HXH FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!! |

I already knew the top 16 contenders. I've been pausing to read the tallies. >.>; The car scene and family internal conflict was pretty interesting. Killua and Alluka are as cute as ever. The troll moment between Hisoka and Illumi was pretty funny. Hopefully he'll end up crossing Illumi to help save Gon... Speaking of Hisoka, I'm pretty sad right now: Gotoh is my favorite butler, and it seems very unlikely that he'll even live through this, let alone win. Still, the coin moment was cool. The pacing felt a bit slow this episode. Or rather, the episode felt short thanks to the long top 16 list. The wait is going to be a bit harder this week, I think. |
Shiiiit, his bloodlust was one of the worst I've seen in this series. |
| Good episode. The second half of the episode is when things really get interesting. Hisoka is so fucking cool. :3 4/5 |
| Lol for a moment Hisoka's trolling face look just like Pariston's The candidates introduction felt a bit too long, but it's a nice way to introduce some potential players in the future and I don't think they can fast-forward the scene anymore than that. |

| It's been a long time since Hisoka fought. After the Chimera Ant King and royal guard all human antagonists don't seem that strong. |
 |
| Great episode!!! Illumi's bloodlust O.O Killua and Alluka are really cute...The development seems interesting and Hisoka vs Gotoh!! RIP Gotoh, no way he can win against Hisoka.. |

| So many great moments I can't even begin to count! So I won't -- I'll just say lol at Biscuit: "More and more people want her to scold them." lolwut On the topic of Biscuit however, I still think all the names in this series are goddamn ridiculous. BUSHIDORA AMBITIOUS. EDIT: Shit, I wanted to mention that I love the new OSTs. It's always a treat, and really helps to give the arcs their own identity. These new ones are kind of a mix between the somber and the quirky that came before -- very appropriate. |

| Amane is Tsubone's granddaughter :O she's gonna be powerful when she gets older. I wonder if they will make the Hisoka/Gotoh fight longer like they did the truck scene :O RediceRyan said: It's been a long time since Hisoka fought.

Not really, I'm sure most of the phantom troupe and Hisoka can beat pouf and youpi and maybe 2 or 3 can beat pitou :) |
 |
| This was an epic episode after a long time. Don't get me wrong, this anime has held up quite well after the finale of CA arc which I believe is the peak never reached by any other shonen before. But in the Chairman Election arc most of the episodes have been just good, but not intense. This episode was intense, due to the depth in the plot as well as the thrilling sequences. |

Not really, I'm sure most of the phantom troupe and Hisoka can beat pouf and youpi and maybe 2 or 3 can beat pitou :) You are way off on this one. You seem to have forgotten how strong Youpi was, the royal guard who seems to be the weakest among 3 according to you (it could easily be the opposite). The guy had the ability kill Morel, Knuckle, Shoot in one solid punch if they weren't playing the distraction game on him. All three guys who can hold their own or even kill some Troupe members. He also was the most durable of Royal Guards, zero damage after engaging in a battle against 4 (Killua included). |
| Illumi's bloodlust freaked me out. Looking forward to Hisoka's and Gotou's fight. |
 |
| damn Gotoh will die at the hands of Hisoka |
| I didn't remember about Morel being a star hunter... Well shit, he's fucking weak. Ahahahah I laughed so hard when they mentioned Ging in that list ahahahahah Hisoka someday will be fucked because of his play, I also don't think he's able to deal with the strongest Star Hunters. Also Illumi doesn't seem to be much stronger than Hisoka, they seem to have the same strength. Gotoh is going to... Well, it's against Hisoka so I guess everyone knows what will happen with him even without reading the manga =) Good episode. |
| Fantastic episode. Things are afoot, both in the election and the Zoldyck fiasco. Love episodes like this. |

All of them will get bodied by anyone in the troupe (excluding non fighting members like kortopi, shizuku) Including killua or do you think he can beat nobunaga?  Phinks swing his arm around about 40 times and instantly destroys youpi since knuckle can keep up with him, he will have no problem. |
