| Pretty good ep. Slow on the most part but had some friggin epic moments. Shoot was pretty DAMN BA against Youpi this ep. The way he covered his eye and was standing with pride was nice. How he helped Morel to get his weapon was nice too ^^ The part with Killua!!! DEM FEEEEEELZ T^T...Killua was SO DAMN BA though. Nice glimpse of his upcoming new techniques. DAT ANIMATION!! :D IkalBRO telling him he owes him was awesome (Love the way he's crossing his arms like a BOSS). He's in a pinch though, surrounded by these guys and having Welfin on his ass. Damn that wolf is smart XD Pouf's monologue was a bit too long but hilarious XD He mentally broke down there. Nice going by Morel. This should be a pretty nice fight. But the last scene is what made this ep for sure!!! Finally we hear some of Gon's thoughts. The way he figured out Meruem was the king after seeing Netero and how he told him Pitou is in the back WITH DAT STARE!!! DAT FRIGGIN STARE!!! The Dark Aura was DAMN EPIC!!! Pitou! U r so SCREWED!!! XD |
 |
| That 5 second stare scene turning into a whole episode. |
 |
| Gon's rage is so intense that the ink on his body is trying to run away. |
 |
| The scene with Killua is interesting, but they dragged it on for FAR TOO LONG. They should've kept it short and brutal like they usually do. I think they're dragging these scenes out so that they don't catch up with the manga too quickly. Pouf's scene made me laugh. "Ano onna to issho ni ite hoshikunai!!!" (I don't want him to be with that woman) - homosexuality reaffirmed. |

| Loved the Youpi vs Shoot part of the episode. Morel getting away with his pipe thanks to his students was heartwarming. Killua part was good imo, after reading the early comments I was afraid that it would take to long but the only part that dragged on was when he had a stare contest with Ikalgo. Pouf theaters part 2 was funny as hell XD Also Welfin or what ever the wolve ant name is figured out that Flutter is working with the hunters..Cheetu and Flodder ant X are there as well .. I wonder what the shadow king will do :P Honestly a lot of shit happend in this episode and it was a good episode in my opinion. My only complaint is that they repeated Pitou En, Youpi breaking the stairs and the way they animated the smoke caused by dragon dive looked weird. 4/5 |

| Man these week to week scenes are going to kill me! Anyway, someone kill drama pouf please. Gon looks like he wants to fight, hopefully pitou finally gets what's coming to her. |
| It was good. I still dislike Pouf as a character, but I like how Madhouse adapted this part of the manga. |
| Gon motherfucking freesc. how can childish care free guy look like that goddamn!! |
 |
| I love the (slow) pace. That's making hxh a unique series, and not another shitty shonen. |
| Slow, but really good episode; GONS RAGE IS TOTALLY VISIBLE >__< Shoot looked badass, standing on one hand, and Pouf was a bit... heh. Wonder how Ikalgo's gonna handle the situation :/ (His bro moment with Killua was awesome). Candor said: 2 chapters and a half adapted, and the episode ended where the manga took a hiatus. An ok slow episode for the most part. That's Interesting, nice one, madhouse! |
| Wtf was with Pouf lol. Damn Gon looked scary at the end there. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| I just can't wait for when the old guy faces the king. I'm totally making an amv for that. If you want to see some OK and epic ones then check out http://WWW.YouTube.com/user/epicamvdude |
| Middle scene dragged...but, anime LIBERTIES! How I've missed them, as little as they were here (aside from the Pufu snot. Ew. Thanks for that, MadHouse..). |
  |
| Good episode besides Killua scene. Gon's stare made the episode, hope he kicks Pitou's ass if he can. |

| Pouf is so weird man |
 |
| Some good stuff, but mostly it was too slow. What happend? Shoot used his arm in the fight to fly, Morrel punched with his pipe, and Knuckle hit him once. Pitou cried. Killua killed two soldier ants, and Gon saw the king. It's not like I don't like slow paced stuff, but I have my limits. Plus, does the narrator really have to tell us everything. You know, we can think. |
| That look at the end was freaking epic! But I don’t think he is going to fight Pitou soon because she is healing Komugi. |
| The scene depicting Pouf's inner turmoil was intense! The way it was visualized really drove it home just how deeply rooted his fanatical obsession with the King is. Personally I'm really glad about the slow pacing. Sure, that way only a fraction of events gets covered each time but it also allows the viewer to savour each moment to its fullest and with directing that proficient and dramatically effective it is damn worth it. |
 |
| Holy shit that's slow. DBZ seems fast in comparison. They're probably just building supense, which they are really good at but Gon needs to be released soon... come on |
| Gon's rage at the end. It's been a while since we've seen him get this intense over an objective. Gon_Killua said: These last two episodes have been brutally boring. I want to watch a fight happen. Not a instant replay of it. I'm sick of this slow motion garbage. Completely ruining the show imo. It's called build up or shit would be over too quickly. |
| great ep the ending was such a tease i really need to stop at some point to marathon this shit again |

Don't/doesn't want (?) to be with that woman", though considering the context, that's indeed what he wanted to say. But there's no proof that he is gay. Rannta said: I love the (slow) pace.

| Omg, Madhouse is failing harder and harder. What is this? What's happening Madhouse? Might decrease the score if Madhouse doesn't get their shit together. |
-MgZ_ said: Omg, Madhouse is failing harder and harder. What is this? What's happening Madhouse? Might decrease the score if Madhouse doesn't get their shit together. So will you decrease the score if they continue adaptating the manga faithfully? And oh man, they must be scared that you are gonna lower the score on a english website they probably don't even know it exists. LOL. |

FShadow1998 said: The way the episode is dragged out makes time seem longer, but I'm guessing the scene at the stairway was in real time only a few seconds. Also, Gon and Killua took a detour while Morel was able to go straight up the stairway to the throne room.How exactly did Morel manage to beat Gon to the throne room? Gon didn't stop running from the moment he entered the palace and Morel had to stop at the staircase for a while! I think. |

pkKodama said: How is it not being faithful? They didn't add new content. They just dragged it out, added narrative. It was fast in the manga because readers can still understand what's going on (with the added help of narrative boxes), but in the anime, they need to take time to explain what's going on because otherwise it's too confusing.MCAL said: pkKodama said: Yes, they are.

| There was such little dialogue, which was an amazing way to make you feel the tension. Loved this episode. |

They do 2 chapter and a half chapter, it isn't slow. Then, they should animate 10 chapters and see if the problem is solved. Seriously, One piece animates only 1 chapter and the pace looks faster. |

| MCAL in charge of judging what's faithful to the source material and what's not. Sasuga MCAL, everywhere I go =p I can see why people are upset at the slowing down time perspective thing, but it's probably more faithful than other shit I've seen... |
| Pouf's rant at himself was a little too long and stupid, but the rest of the episode was great. Finally gonna start the battles against all of the royal guards next time. |
| gon went into badass mode |

"They didn't add new content" If only... "otherwise it's too confusing" What is so confusing about that scene? MCAL said: In that case, all three episodes of the palace invasion have been unfaithful. I'm not saying you have to like it. Heck I understand why you didn't. That's a matter of opinion. But faithfulness of adaption is a matter of fact. No, not really. There are parts where it's indeed in slow motion, like Netero's attack that seemed to be in slow motion for Pitou, or Youpi's fight. But Killua killing those two wasn't supposed to be. |

| loved this episode and I actually didn't even mind the slow motion this time although i do hope it ends soon. killua was a beast when he one shotted those 2 ants epic stuff |
leokiko said: So will you decrease the score if they continue adaptating the manga faithfully? And oh man, they must be scared that you are gonna lower the score on a english website they probably don't even know it exists. LOL. OH. They are adapting it faithfully? I can actually name a thing that they changed. -The narrator wasn't supposed to say that the two ants Killua saw is in the direction where Ikalgo was headed. Killua was supposed to speak and say that they were standing right in Ikalgo's path. But that's not the point right? THEY FUCKING ADAPTED 5 PAGES OF MANGA INTO A 4 MINUTES OF ANIMATION. Can you really call that a proper adaptation? If they are messing up the pacing can you still call it being faithful? Your second sentence doesn't make any sense. It's like a kid's argument. Do I mean to scare them when I said that? Don't be ignorant. Guilek said: They do 2 chapter and a half chapter, it isn't slow. Yeah... it isn't slow indeed . . . . . |
| the face of Gon EPIC The first part was better than second one. Shoot Fight... 3/5 |
| 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 am not going to lie. Didn't like this episode that much. Probably this is the second episode I didn't like in HxH. Pouf's monologue felt stupid(melodramatic and exaggerated) and too long. The scene with Killua took too long imo and it was actually repeated without narration. I liked Shoot's start of the fight and the end was Awesome. |
