I was ewing the whole time. lol The part with Youpi was a tad too slow in my book, I mean the slow motion works but with so much slowmo they just seem to be overdoing it. I liked this episode. Got to see more of Killua and that is always a plus for me. The King is on straight fire, I was not expecting him to be holding Komugi like such, and for Zeno and Netero to give him time to place her down and begin to heal her. I did not see that coming at all, which is very interesting. Well now their fight is about to begin, I'm super hyped. I might just wait a few months and stack some episodes to marathon, not sure yet. Its a hard decision because I want to know what happens next! |

| Haha, I liked this episode more than the previous episode now that I have watched it again, it felt much more natural. I'm glad the VA for the narrator got the job and no one else did, I can't imagine it without him. |

Btw, sure this episode was awesome, I almost cried when Pitou cried, and Pouf was awesome kicking those rocks but this week Toriko was much better. |

With this episode, however, the way they parsed out the scenes in extreme slow-mo with all of that narration just didn't sit right with me. Probably the biggest issue is the fact that while it worked last episode, due to the dynamic nature of the shots and spread-out scenery, the first half of this episode was all contained in the stairwell. It didn't make for the most compelling watching. It might have been a lot better if they had done some more interesting things with animation and/or use of perspective, but that was all pretty static and sub-par. While being a very straightforward adaption, which is for the most part a good thing, I thought an episode like this would've been a nice opportunity to take a few creative liberties. They played it safe, but it didn't really pay off in this instance.Guess the narration feel felt much less apparent in the manga :/ I felt the opposite. The narration was much better in this one than the last episode. Go figure haha |

| Overall a good episode, a little too slow on the first half, but the second half made up for it. Loved the scene with the King and Komugi it was very touching |

| It seems like I'm one of the few that liked Youpi part, damn he is a monster! Loved when Knuckle said that he could even tell how much his aura is lol. Another character that impress me in this episode is Gon and the kid didn't even say a word in this episode xD But the real icing on the cake was Meruem holding Komugi while Pitou, Zeno and Netero watched them in shock. Pitou is one loyal royal guard, Meruem doesn't understand how lucky he is. Anyways long story short, loved the episode and can't wait for 113. |

| That was amazing. That scene moved my heart a little it really did. The week to week for this show is killing me at the moment! |
| holy crap O.o awesomeness during the entire episode! from what i could see from the preview, it doesn't seem the King will fight them in the next episode :( hope i'm wrong |
| *Jaw Drops*....*Picks back up*... Absolutely Brilliantly done! Narrator hater can u plz not complain. This is how it's gonna be from now on so just deal with it. Loved their reactions when they first entered. Killua thinking as expected and Youpi's who the hell r they XD The slow motion stair climb was intense!! Loved Killua's reaction to Dragon Dive figuring out his gramps is there hehe. Gon no giving a single fuck and just going forward with those eyes was friggin EPIC!! Dude is in BA mode right now so do not disturb XD...Shoot's reaction was lol. Knuckles invisible punch and Youpi's reaction were awesome. But the monster just has too much aura. Knuckle's ability won't be doing much against him for a while hehe. Damn He's creepy though XD Loved Pouf's air maneuvering. Was awesome. And Pitou's En and her jump was friggin pure BA! Loved the animation and Meruem's dark aura scaring the shit out of her was nice (We get a glimpse of her naked body) Pretty sure I saw some curves there ;) The black and white silent scene was sooo beautifully depicting of the scene >.< And Netero and Zeno's reactions of "This isn't what I heard" with the King being a nice guy was awesomely depicted too. The way he passed by them like a BOSS at the end was EPIC! GOOOSEBUMPS!! Can't friggin wait for the upcoming stuff. Especially Gon meeting Pitou and her reaction!! And Killua meeting his Gramps Now that's gonna be EPIC!! :D |

| Dat king scene. |
Entezio said: God damn I don't know why I feel so annoyed about how scared Netero and Zeno are of Meruem's power. It's just such a bummer that those two guys are pissing their pants just by looking at Pitou's doll thingy Pitou's doll thingy is very scary, what if you were walking during night and saw that thing? |

Entezio said: It's more the fact that they momentarily lowered their guard - Pitou's doll brought them back to their senses, but during that moment the King had decided to walk between them. It was pretty much affirming that if the King had wanted to, he had an opening to attack. The biggest thing though, is that the King was basically showing them that he thought them of little threat, walking directly in close proximity between them like it was nothing. That's why they were kind of freaked out - it was a psychological blow.God damn I don't know why I feel so annoyed about how scared Netero and Zeno are of Meruem's power. It's just such a bummer that those two guys are pissing their pants just by looking at Pitou's doll thingy |

Well I just find it disappointing that one of the strongest. most experienced living human in this world has never fought something that even had a shred of resemblance of Meruem's power. I was expecting him to have an impressed or respecting image but here he just looked scared as fuk. And so did Zeno. Yes, I agree. |

| Decent episode but the slow motion was super annoying. Did not expect to see Pitou cry |

| How a series creates an episode with a timeframe of 30 seconds but still manages to be amazing is beyond me |

| I was mistaken when I thought the pacing of the last episode was slow. Sigh..maybe I should just wait 3 months and watch 12 episodes in one sitting. |

| Makes me wonder if the Narrator got paid more for these episodes haha. I didn't mind the slow motion fighting and narration though. It just shows the level of detail going in within these seconds. |

Toriko was good, but this HxH episode blew everything away! I was freaking out when I saw Gon charging towards Youpi, thinking he was gonna fight him! It was so epic when Knuckle punched him!! And oh my god, the King is like incredible |
| PURE EPICNESS!!!!!!!!SINCE THE LAST 2 WEEKS SUSPENSE HAS BEEN KILLING OMG!!!I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!! |

| Gintama: "The blade is not to cut down your enemies Nor is it to cut away your own weakness A sword isnt meant to protect your body A sword is meant for protecting your soul" |
| I much preferred how Youpi looked in the manga after he morphed his head so that he had no blind spots but whatever, it still looked good and got the point across that the man is a monster. Youpi honestly has one of the most creative abilities and yet it's so simple so it will be fun to watch throughout the rest of this arc (If his full fight isn't in freaking slow motion lol). The second half of the episode was good from the story side of things but some of that animation was whack. |
| I am speechless and yet I feel like screaming because this episode was just soo AWESOME. The tension was through the roof during the entire episode. That completely silent scene depicting Komugi's fatal situaltion got my heart pounding like few episodes managed to do so and Youpi's gruesome transformation was executed excellently animation-wise. It feels so good to see the build-up of the last few weeks to finally pay off, even the external narration which bothered me at first somehow improved the experience once I got used to it. |
 |
| I knew there would be complaining about the slow motion in this episode while watching it. To me, it all made it seem epic for such a big fight that has had so much preparation. I personally want to savor every second of this fight for all the build-up to pay off. So much tension! I am loving this! |

| Had HxH always had this much narration? Never felt like it did. Anyways, such an awesome episode with so much tension being built up. I almost felt sick inside with that black and white scene with the king face being empty. That sh!t gave me chills. |

| So how would people feel if a majority of the fights in this part of the series were in slow motion? Just curious |
