| The elegance and beauty mixed with the carnage and brutal instantly of this episode was bar none the best episode in the series. Just like i thought in the manga, the emotional impact of this moment is felt 100 times over. The ost they used for gon's dramatic break down was felt right here man. I felt the sheer intensity like it was something that was happening in the room. This moment have been heavily foreshadowed since the first initial nen training, (currently where i am at in the series) and now the results finally come to fruition. The animation just makes it so much more real to. Amazing episode, the one i been waiting since the beginning to see animated. |

| Hunter x Hunter never ceases to amaze me. Gon Recks all! |
| lol well I'm glad no one's been yelling "ASSPULL!" all over the place. It may seem like an asspull (because the kid transformed) but it goes in line very well with the principles of Nen. AND Gon's transformation/change has been prominent throughout the entire arc so you can't go saying it wasn't foreshadowed. I always looked at it as Togashi paying homage to DBZ, in a way that makes complete sense. With that being said, I can't wait to watch this episode!!! |

How is it unfair? Kurapika has to "vow" something that give him power to beat 12 people. Quite different from the rage of the moment for gon. He used vows and limitations as well. His vow was to kill Pitou, and condition is discarding his nen potential and his life. I don't question that. The only thing is, kurapika's vow isn't weaker than gon's vow. |

He was smart enough to set that vow. I was just explaining why Gon got such a major power. BTW his rage had little to no influence on what happend. |

| Oh my freaking God! That was amazing! Gon vs. Pitou was even more epic than I imagined! Once again, Madhouse impresses me with their animations. Megumi Han has out done herself! Gon's voice was still quite high, but bone-chillingly calm. No longer so childish. It felt so surreal to hear that voice coming out of Gon-san's body. The music was perfect! Everything was perfect! My favourite moment: seeing Gon Jan-ken Pitou in the face! Holy Christ-kebab! |

Kurapika's vow is that he will lose his life if he attack anyone with his abilities other than Spiders, but Gon sacrificed it all. His vow was pretty much something like- I will kill you, and that is all. I don't need anything else. After this, it is over for you and me both. |

| Clarifying some points... 1) He's not as strong as the king! Mistranslations happen. Pitou actually said something like: "his fangs can reach the king now", not "his power is equal to king's". 2) He's as strong as Pitou! Other lines usually help identify mistranslations. Pitou said: "... he has forced his growth to the point of being able to defeat me". And, unfortunatelly, that mistranslation also spreaded to other languages (I hate when Crunchyroll/fansubs translate from English rather than from the original... that's why I study Japanese for myself). |

| There is a big différence between netero 's zeno and the sacrifice Gon did. Netero was already an old man who had already reached his full potential. He had seen and done a lot of thinks. So he had praticly nothing to sacrifice. Gon sacrificed many decade of his life, his abiity to use nen and more (you will see later what I am talking about). So he had a lot more to sacrife than netero during that Zeno who was alreary at the end of the rope. And Gon is the main character of this manga so I am pretty sure by the end of this manga he is gonna be the most powerful character in the world since it's a shonen. So it's not far-fetched that he reached the king level by sacrifying all that potential (he may have become even greater than the king by that logic (minus the inteligence)). |
| Netero sacrificed past experience Gon sacrificed future potential Two sides od the same coin. Very symbolic. |

Could reach the king. Maybe. He had the potential to, which he wasted now, to pitou's relief. |

| I cant even describe how amazing this episode was, it sure is one of the best episodes i have ever seen in any anime in my opinion. Cant wait for some more. |
lebron181 said: Netero passed his prime by a long shot when he faced the King. Gon and Killua have much more potential than Netero did. The chairman trained endlessly for 5 years but it could only take both Gon and Killua to surpass him in short time. Netero would still win without much effort even if they did have infinite about of potential because of experience. A person with 100+ years of experience would obviously beat them even if he passed his prime |

Thanks for that clarification. I was wondering about that. Anyhow, I know Pitou was sad and all, but as soon as Gon dropped his guard she should have just beheaded him with her working arm. It would be for the King... Also Gon's transformation was kind of dumb. I know it must be done in order to defeat the king, but still. Sacrifice all of his energy just because one friend died? I would be sad too, but to totally ruin the rest of your life? Kite probably wouldn't have wanted that. "I'm glad my arm got lopped off so I can be the same as Kite." What in frak? Has Gon totally lost it? Virtually perfect 5/5 imo. I believe Pitou felt sickly good while healing her arm (In advance:For me, Pitou is a girl). She was so scared and worried for Komugi and King, because there was no way she could have healed Kite anyway, so Komugi was pretty much dead (For Pitou at least). When she heard that Komugi was safe, she must have felt relief. She needed a few moments to collect her thoughts, which was enabled by Doctor Blythe.Also, I will not spoil, but you are wrong about King. Finally, Kite was not his friend. He was more like his mentor and his older brother. When Kite lost his arm, he was forced to fight to protect Gon and Killua (In Gon's thoughts at least). When he heard Kite what Kite has became, he blamed himself. So it is a lot more complex than simple *His friend died*. |

| This episode was phenomenal! I'm glad they got this part of the manga down and adapted it perfectly. An easy 5/5 for this week's episode. As for what's to come... (manga spoilers) |

Has Gon totally lost it? Virtually perfect 5/5 imo. Even if Pitou attacked then, there was no guarantee her hit would land, or be fatal enough to kill him. It's not very obvious, but Pitou is actually afraid of Gon (because, as long as he exists, he would still be a threat to the King). It was a wise decision to heal her arm while she had time, so if things devolve into a fight (rather than a one-way slaughter -- where Pitou is the butcher, of course), she'd have a better chance of winning. Pitou never expected Gon to make such a huge sacrifice for an unfathomable power (and when he did, she brought out her Terpsichora to exceed her limits). Kite wouldn't have wanted that, but Gon doesn't really stand much of a chance. As far as Gon is concerned, he doesn't have the rest of his life. If he's going to die anyway, he can sacrifice his life to kill Pitou. Yes, Gon has completely lost it. He lost it way back in ep 116. Actually, he lost it waaaaay back when he saw Kite's corpse being manipulated like a puppet on strings. (Gon's admiration of Kite is a little extreme, if you haven't noticed.) *_* I just noticed that I've been referring to Pitou as a "she." Oops. |

| Oh shit, what will happen to Gon.. |
| Simply amazing. Gon probably has the best development out of any shounen protagonist and is one of said protagonists that has actually killed in his rage. I couldn't stop staring at the screen and shaking in anticipation. I've never felt this way while watching an anime. I've been filled with excitement and I have sometimes cried but never have I been completely speechless and silent while my eyes just widened unable to move my body (may sound like exaggerating but this is what happened). Never thought the words Rock Paper Scissors would ever hold such weight. The OST was amazing too. May be my favorite episode of any anime series ever. Now I just wonder where will the series go from here, what will happen to Gon in the future and how the King will be defeated. Edit: Tl;dr This episode made me SCHWING |

| FUCKING EPIC SPEECHLESS!!!! FUCKING EPIC SPEECHLESS!!!! |
| JESUS CHRIST! The manga is one thing but finally watching this animated is just beyond EPIC! Thank you, Madhouse for such an attention-grabbing masterpiece! On another note, I'm surprised with the general opinion. I mentioned last week I expected more hate than hype since 30 episodes were the prelude for what turned out to be one punch. Just one punch. I guess the majority realised that, unlike the common shounens, this was not a victory taken out of the ass but a victory won with a serious price due to vow and limitation. And the arm. That transformation with Gon's skull-like face and that background music sent shivers down my spine. Perfect adaptation. 5/5, like most episodes are for me. |
| they just can't kill Gon!!!if he die, what happen next!? Killua for protagonist? he is awesome but isn't' Gon!! Q_Q just epic, nothing more to say. |
magicstalk said: Hisoka would get raped so hard if he were ever to face off against this Gon. And shouldn't Killua be there almost instantly if he were really moving at the speed of a lightning bolt? Considering that the average lightning bolt travels at 4000 miles per second and can even reach the speed of light. He isn't reaching speed of light, it is the name of his technique. Uvo can't do real big bang. |

| This episode was simply amazing, I am glad I downloaded this in 1080p my eyes were glued to the screen, 5/5. |
