| As much as I dislike narration in general, HxH does it so much better than anyone else, I can't really complain |
| everything is fine except the narration.. well theres a narrarion in manga too and i just skip them.. |
 |
| All these new surprises can't be good for the mental health of the intruders lol. |
| Holy shit, epic to the max... This is the most perfect episode from an anime I've watched; action, strategy, feels, and the plot. |

But it's awesome. For people asking why Pitou cried, that is because it was the first time the OU begged for something instead of ordering like he usually does, so she felt touched with the scene and cried. And whoever thinks she is a male, needs a serious lesson with Kuririn about gender /-.- |

FShadow1998 said: SaSa777 said: patrykvan said: Nice ep, I honestly can't see the King losing right now, can't wait to see his abilities. There is one thing that bothers me - if Killua knew what Dragon Dive was, why didn't he know about nen until the Heavens Arena arc? I would definitely ask Zeno how he did all those holes in the ground. He saw nen all the time and even used it when he was tailing people or changed his hands for a kill. But he was never told what it was. But he needed to have opened his nen micropyles to be able to SEE his grandpa's Dragon Dive and since he didn't do that until after he left the house, there was no way for him to know about his grandpa's abilities before he went in the palace. He could see the effect dragon dive had on the place, I mean there are holes everywhere you don't need to use nen to see that. Also he can feel his aura. Kurapika could feel the nen attack from his sensei before he learnt nen, Gon was using zetsu when he was tailing Hisoka, Rammot was also using zetsu before his fight with Gon and Killua. I believe that you only need to open your aura nodes to use ten, ren, hatsu, gyo ect. |

| lol the heroes are at disadvantage |
| I think it's safe to say Mahouka threads will be the similar to the past couple threads. OT: I think that the narration is pretty nifty as it's kinda like reading a book. Those little details can really add to the atmosphere. |
SaSa777 said: Plus, Killua could have simply viewed his grandpa's Dragon Dive as some "technique" all his life in the same way he perceived his own fingernail-tech. The latter isn't said to require Nen, so Killua probably assumed just as much even w/o Nen comprehension. It's not as though any of the characters so far have exhibited immediate knowledge of Hatsu being linked to Nen as soon as they discover it. (Remember what Leorio's first impression of Nen was?) That's why Killua only thought of Illumi & Hisoka with their auras from the moment Wing taught him the very basics.He could see the effect dragon dive had on the place, I mean there are holes everywhere you don't need to use nen to see that.

I always thought that the fingernail technique was a manipulation tech, why do you think that its not nen related? |

Dangerr said: Meh episode. Didn't translate well from the manga. Madhouse's direction has generally been pretty damn good, but it was certainly not their A-game here. Same with the animation. Hoping for a better next week. I have to disagree with you i definitely think madhouse brought their A-game.I didnt read the manga so i cant compare the two, but i honestly dont see how madhouse could have improved on this episode, as an anime only viewer i thought it was spectacular. |
SaSa777 said: Not in that way per se. But, what I'm trying to get across is that Killua didn't need foreknowledge of Nen in order to understand Zeno's Dragon Dive.I always thought that the fingernail technique was a manipulation tech, why do you think that its not nen related? |

Oh got it :) Nen concept is awesome and I keep seeing new stuff. Like in last episode I noticed that Shoot's cage/hotel isn't conjured cage but a real one he is manipulatin and thats the reason he covers it with a sleeve. Yes I noticed that after 20+ episodes and 2/3 manga reads LOL. |

| Wow! After a lot of complaining about the last couple of episodes (and a little bit about last week), 112 is just amazing. 5/5! Slowing down everything is such a cool way to do it! |

xieghart said: yhunata said: The constant narration kind of ruins the flow that HxH episodes are supposed to bring and it was so fucking annoying in this episode. Madhouse is really trying to drag this one out, aren't they? How about no? Madhouse is basically following what Togashi did in the manga. Events happening in a short burst of time that it their actions are actually FASTER than them speaking or forming full sentences in their mind to describe what the fuck is going on. For that, having a narrator to do the explanation makes more sense. In the manga it fit easily, but it's not working as efficiently in the anime. On top of that, the narration is so monotone, it comes off as annoying when done at such a frequency. |

| This Episode is Awesome That episode... Was so.. there are no words to describe it. it is so epic. |
| '"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"?

On top of that, the narration is so monotone, it comes off as annoying when done at such a frequency. You say that, but I genuinely like what this show is doing. I can understand why some would see it as being slow or dragging things out, but I simply can't agree with that. I think the narration has done a fantastic job of illustrating each characters view point and, to be honest, I have found the narrator's dialogue to be fantastic. Half of what made Pitou's rush to the King and Meruem's holding Komugi so damn great, to me at least, was the narration. Generally speaking, if someone told me narration was the wrong way to go when telling a story....I would agree. I mean, I am a Breaking Bad fan and "show, don't tell" is practically that show's motto. But, HxH is taking a generally disagreeable storytelling device and using it very effectively in my eyes. |

| I love Youpi transformation, the only ant with no human DNA, though I find it really weird since the ones that are fully ants don't really talk nor have a humanoid shape. Honestly, I find the narration to be unnecessary they can really just have the characters narrate what they're thinking, planning etc instead of the having the narrator do so. pkKodama said: Is all you do just fucking shit post?

This definitely isn't a simple good vs. evil fight which is what Netero and Zeno seeing him with Komugi illustrated beautifully. I can see Mereum character changes and wavers between several extremes throughout the story, this episode especially. Yes, the conflict between Ants and Humans is a matter of war and survival. The Humans might be a good guys but that doesn't mean the Ants was a bad guys, they're just trying to live. Damn, Togashi managed to actually successfully portray this. |

Your right and Togashi has done this before (Sensui). To the ants they are trying to survive and take over the world essentially. The process they are doing it by kills a lot of innocent humans though, but this is whats interesting. Don't humans kill animals for survival as well, and a lot of times just for personal pleasure of eating them? In the Ants view, its like how we view chicken, they are there for our survival and pleasure, and the same goes around for the ants. I think this is one of those cases where its just justice in each eye. Both the humans and ants believe they are correct. I like it because its not one of those "they're evil for the sake of being evil" type stuff. |

| Damn! That infiltration turned out to be FUBAR. I'm hoping Pitou will be unable to heal Komugi so that the King will take his head for failing. Youpi's "bankai" is disgusting. Once again, Pouf is being a drama queen. Most of the time the narration annoys me, but this time it was fitting. Sent with Mal Updater |

| King x Komugi a 100000000000x better love story than Twilight |
 |
| had to rewatch. simply amazing. loved the scene with Meruem and Komugi. 5/5 |
 This episode only needs some zawa to be completely perfect. |
