THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well that was interesting. It's about damn time Pouf fought with his powers. I like his confidence too and his abilities.

What, he can make clones of himself? Mini clones too. Nice. I really liked how the action picked up quite a bit this episode. Am I the only one that thinks Pouf looks kinda cute in miniature form?. Really get hyped about Gon vs. Pitou now too with that ending there.

The main body has Pouf using his normal voice, while the others have a much higher-pitched voice.

The whole tension totally made me forget about Knov! so happy that he helped Shoot out there.Go Knov! show them that you're more than a coward.
But yeah holy shit, you cant underestimate Pouf.He might not be best fighter out there, but he sure got lots of useful skills and brain.I wonder what action will he take now, since Gon looks like he will kill anything that comes close to them.Pitou looks really troubled.
Knuckle being an badass idiot again.That combo with Morel was too awesome.

How am i supposed to wait week to see what happens next?!...

OMG that butterfly guy is so damn annoying, the way he was laughing. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he ends up dead. I hope he gets killed like Cheetu, the annoying ones always die hard.

I WAS WAITING FOR ONE OF THE ANTS TO MAKE A MISTAKE AND WALK TO WHERE GON WAS.

Pitou is still scared shirtless lmao, Pouf I can't wait to see you die.

Why didn't Pitou want Pouf to come closer? Was she afraid Gon would kill him? Or was she afraid Pouf would kill Komugi? Youpi got a new form again. Can't wait for the next episode.

Not a bad ep ^^

Pouf was actually making quite the huge gamble there with how there was a pretty good chance he might have got screwed. But well, Morel still had to do it sooner or later and plot wise it made things start moving again :D

But Damn! he was having so much fun while observing the situation with his Beelzebub clones and narrating everything going on XD He didn't see Killua and Meleoron though which is good. And a "Ant Palm" cameo ;)...Also lol at him thinking the spiky head fatso (Knuckle's Bankruptcy) was Youpi's ability XD

Youpi's faces this ep were so lol esp the one when he realized that none of them were the real Knuckle, and nxt ep seems like his final form will finally be animated XD

Nice seeing Knov help by getting Shoot to safety ^^

And the last scene was intense with Pouf's "Tch" to Pitou healing Komugi and Pitou's don't come closer or u'll be raped XD. Gon doesn't even give a fuck that a royal guard just appeared behind him XD

The first 3 minutes fell victim to the anime-characters-explaining-stuff cliche... see... THIS is one of the reasons I liked the Narrator, he could have said all that without making it feel like they stopped what they were doing. Esp. Pouf who was in a rush. The trick was very clever of pouf nonetheless.
I loved the troll part with Pouf stealing the pipe. That was quick and nice, and fits him perfectly. Mini-poufs sound more like a mythology mischievous little things than silly. Good execution here. Preview worried me.

I LOVE the added detail of the clouds. How the moonlight keeps getting obscured every now and then... Madhouse does it again.

Esper? Final Fantasy 12?
What else I like about HxH's intellectual fights is the trick within a trick... even what seems to be revealed as a trick might just be a trick itself.

and Bizeff's not out of the picture yet? Interesting.
Pouf could have cut Gon's head right then and there... damn it pitou.

Anyway, animation seemed really awkward at times, but great episode.

I think it's pretty obvious why Pitou said that. If Pouf had come closer, Gon would've threatened to/actually killed Pitou and/or Komugi almost immediately. I don't think Pitou thought Pouf himself was in danger of getting killed.

She didn't save him. She wasn't confident enough to let Pouf kill Gon, before Gon does something to Komugi. Which is Pitou's main concern, she doesn't want to take risks regarding Komugi, unlike Pouf who would be overjoyed if Komugi died.

What Pouf did seems stupid to me. Aren't the royal guards a lot more powerful than their enemies? Why waste time stealing the pipe and throwing it at sea when she sneaked behind him instead of just smashing his head and ending everything there?

Exactly. Pitou made an agreement with Gon to wait until she at least heals Komugi to a level where her life won't be in danger.
If Pouf makes something silly and Gon has to react then there is a danger Gon would attack her and she won't be able to finish healing Komugi.
Pitou is only concerned with following the kings orders.

For now she just wants to finish with her duty and after that she can think what to do with Gon.

Awesome episode, it's funny to see Pouf fool a smart hunter like Morel. But he should have killed him in my opinion, not that I want Morel to die dude is boss, he recovered fast from his defeat and saved Knuckle.

Hina escapes with Bizeff and rondom ant girl and Welfin is scared of them smh. This dude is worst then Shoot at the beginning of the arc. But god I can't wait for next episode, I wanna see Youpi's next transformation XD

Not to sound rude but, is this your first Hunter x Hunter episode? And I guess what they were doing doesn't count as action.

On the episode you gotta love that Youpi gave the strategic thinking thing the old college try then says "screw it" when he gets pissed.

You forgot that he was trapped in Morel's Jail. His nen could have strengthened after his death, same for the clones who were already created.

Everything about Pouf is exaggerated to the max, right down to his nen abilities. I guess I can see where people would hate him, but I like how Togashi makes such colorful characters.

This episode once again proves why battles in HxH are the best in the genre. Strategy upon strategy upon strategy. And it all makes logical sense. And as usual, the psychology behind the fights is top rate. Wonder what it would be like if Togashi decided to become a psychologist.

Hmm... I felt it was more because Pouf didn't want to execute a plan that may not have worked and would have wasted his precious time. Morel is psychically tougher then Pouf, so he might not have the strength to smash Morel's head.

Pitou learned a lot about Nen from his umm... brain probing... of Pokkle, but no exact confirmation, but I wouldn't say it was unlikely.

Ah crap. it looks like Palm is being made into an ant. I mean, who else could it be? Hopefully she won't be hostile.

Good episode, very Pouf centric. Knuckle re-entering the fray so quickly was surprising as was Knov saving Shoot. I wonder if he will perhaps join the battle. Something of note is Killua seeing him bring his clones back together, and possibly seeing the Guard enter the guest room. Pouf doesn't give a shit about Komugi so who knows whether he will attack or not.

All I really wanna see is what's gonna happen with Pitou, Gon, and the king anyway. The rest are neat and all but I only feel a small fraction of interest for them compared to those three.

Pretty terrible episode. There was no plot development with this glacial pacing. Too much time was wasted on the citizen of the country and his fear of needing to escape as well as too much time on poufs explanation and then youpi which we've gotten tired of this tenth episode in a row with youpi still using the same dull physical moves.

In that case, you might want to stop watching the show for a few... well, a lot of weeks, so you can see the whole thing in one go. There's still plenty of strategy, developments and psychological battles ahead.

It's pretty obvious why Pitou stopped Pouf.
The reason is because Pouf always hated Komugi because she was influencing the King too much and made Pouf think that it was the best opportunity to kill Komugi at that point. Because of 1. King wasn't near by and wouldn't find out. 2. Pouf can claim he didn't do anything even if he did kill Komugi since Komugi was close to her death already.
Pitou knows this as well, this is why Pitou warned Pouf not to come closer as a warning to show that Pitou is doing it for the King .

I don't think so. Pitou's mind was occupied with one thing and one thing only. Komugi's well being. The biggest threat to Komugi's life from her perspective is Gon, not Pouf.

She doesn't necessarily aware of Pouf's desire to get rid of Komugi.
