| Compared to last episode, this one is more layed back. I still enjoyed it. I loved the scene with Togashi-dog. I can't wait until next week when we get to see the Phantom Troupe. The anime sure does move a lot faster than the manga... for obvious reasons. I hope they continue this.. and I hope Togashi gets off of his Hiatus. |
| can someone please explain why that dog keeps re-appearing C: |
 |
Celastias said: can someone please explain why that dog keeps re-appearing C: The dog is Togashi's "mascot", it's basically HIM. Whenever he tries to tell a story in the chapter cover he'd draw the dog (representing him) If you notice at the beginning, the rabbit, represents Togashi's wife..the writer of Sailor Moon. Hiei from YYH was supposed to show up too :( but didn't. |
| I'm not the one to explain away the Killua/Benz thing, but Baldy was probably trying to prove Zepile wrong (in this version he seems to be acquainted with the guy that was trying to scam Gon and Killua) so he could get the wooden trove cheap. And so he gave reasons why the wooden trove might not be as valuable as Zepile was making it out to be. (If you assume they work at the same place and are both greedy and not above tricking kids.) |
| The baldy randomly appeared in the store xD |
 |
| ^pff, it's not random at all now that I rewatched the ep, they're obviously engaged and getting used to each other's work so their future assimilation will go more smoothly. |
Mephz said: The baldy randomly appeared in the store xD I found that to be HILARIOUS too. How he walked in all of the sudden. But it's not really surprising, they cut down on that part. Most people would find it to be boring and I don't mind having the upcoming events arrive sooner like this. Not that the original chapters of the manga would've been boring to me, but I don't think they're important. |

Liberal said: Thank god they rushed through these parts, couldn't take another episode of boring Gon, Killua and Zepile auctioning antics. It's four chapters in the manga, here they made it one episode and are moving the focus right back to the Ryodan. Nicely done, Madhouse. This! |
 |
| Well it was never going to be as amazing as last week but I've always like Zepile as a character. |
 |
| complaints and what not's aside, lets just w8 for next week's episode....finally some Gon n Killua action!!!!! |
Mephz said: The baldy randomly appeared in the store xD Also when gon was looking @ the benz knife, killua/leorio fking explained how rare and expensive the knife was, WHILE THE SELLER WAS sitll there listning to everything they were saying |
| Did they end up buying the knife? |
| No, they just got the idea, so these points are invalid |
| ^Exactly!!! lol |
| Another thing Killua said in the manga: Since it was made by a killer, it's hard to put a price on it. So basically it might only sell well on the black market...and I don't think the old guy would have any connections of that sort. |
| Lol is Leorio ever going to be on screen for more than 10 seconds? Anyway, I'm glad this was only one episode. I absorb information better when it's concise and relevent. |
| ^ I bet whenever he should, Madhouse is just gonna cut it out again. -w- d_2_HxH said: meshimoon said: I'm not the one to explain away the Killua/Benz thing, but Baldy was probably trying to prove Zepile wrong (in this version he seems to be acquainted with the guy that was trying to scam Gon and Killua) so he could get the wooden trove cheap.

Thanks for the explaination! That scene actually does make sense when you put it that way. In any case, I still think Baldy's timing was comically perfect. XD I mean, it's like his job is to just hide out in the back, carefully listen in on the conversation, and when he figures his partner can't keep up with an argument, he bursts into the scene as though he was there the entire time. XD maybe he was using the toilet in the back, and since the walls are thin, he could hear everything they were saying? :P |

| Don't worry leorio still has a role in this arc.. =[] |
noonealive said: Did they end up buying the knife?   |
| Madhouse really hates Leorio for some reason. |
| @blacklist yeah but they didn't buy it in the ANIME, where they talked about it in front of the guy. So there's no contradiction. |
| Great episode. Btw, I think we're getting really close to the point where the 1999 tv series ends and the first OVA begins. |
| 8 is more like it :P |
| Nice to see killua and gon again:D |

Or am I missing something here? Hmmm idk I just have a feeling we're not there yet :p |
MasaVK said: Wway too boring......sure wish Kurapika was the main character, when it shifts to Gon and the rest of the crew the show becomes boring. Actually kurpika's character would become repetitive at a certain point. So i'm glad the focus is on mainly Gon and Killua because the shit they do later makes them badasses. Kurapika wouldn't even think about doing what Gon does later on... |

| Boring. |
 |
| nothing special, but a very refreshing episode :) |
| This episode was calm and interesting to see the tricks of the trade with buying and selling. Although I'm really shocked that Gon sold off his hunter license, that seems very reckless. |

Hybridbloodszak said: Nice cooldown episode from last week! Enjoyed Zepile's voice actor in this adaptation and just the character as a whole. The preview for next week looks pretty intense, can't wait. Zepile's analysis of Gon I found was spot on and is one of the many things that distinguishes him from other shonen protagonists. A lot of the times, they have some self righteous duty to carry out while Gon doesn't care about that and just wants to explore the huge world he lives in and all of its inahabitants INB4 "This episode is pointless, slow etc" Whenever Togashi introduces something, there's always a reason and the things we learned this week, such as "side stepping" in particular, will play out in the next couple of episodes  Gon makes the funniest facial expressions X D I liked the episode so I'm not complaining, but they didn't need to know about side stepping for that. They could have just applied what they learned in Trick Tower or just use common sense. Still I liked the episode |
 |
| I swear this anime never had a boring episode (well, so far).. sure light-hearted ones like this exist but this is as fun as the other... but there are some that are really entertaining as hell... like the battle of Kurapika and Uvo.. |
 |
| Appraiser-san daisuki. <3 I'm amazed that he realized how dangerous Gon is - not his power but his personality. He doesn't care about right and wrong, and that can be very dangerous. He can't appraise it. Gon is far more terrifying in potential than Killua. LOVE that that is acknowledged. Nice to get a breather from all dat holy revenge. Back to the cute little buggers! |

Gon is often overshadowed by Killua's coolness, but the kid is really terrifying when you give it some thought: he is determined, instinctual, amoral, and his speed of growth is really high. All Hisoka, Netero, Hanzo, and Zepile have recognized this. It makes you look forward to his growth both as character and as Nen user. |

| Even though this episode did nothing to progress the story, i actually really liked this part in the manga considering some moments were completely rearranged. Gon and killua were kind introduced to a whole new world of underground marketing and learning about scamming. I liked how the zepile anylized gon as being a simple person who does not act against right or wrong, but just someone that opens there mind to any given situation no matter what it is. |

| Not much to say, but the appraiser seems fairly likeable. Hopefully we'll see some more Phantom Troupe confrontations in the next episode. |
| Did Gon really just sell his hunter license? This episode was lot more interesting than I expected. |
 |
| Why the hell would Gon pawn his hunter license? I thought the license itself also gave a line of credit that rivaled some corporations or some shit like that? I have a feeling this will come back to bite him in the ass and it really fucking irritates me. |

| zepile definitely has mustache brows. |

| Zepile is really great! It felt a bit strange to not immediately follow up on Kurapika and Uvo's fight but it was a cute episode. |
| Welp, Gon made a new friend and found his way to makes money quickly. With someone like him, he'll be able to get his Licence back in no time. It looks like the two Phantom Troupe member aren't trying to hide at all. They aren't disguised or anything. That seem really fishy. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Damn, Gon just pawned his Hunter License on a whim like that? Kid is dedicated to getting Greed Island. |
