| ^^disagree so hard but I still really like this ep. Kurapika's VA is pretty... unusual though. (I haven't heard much voiceacting like that anyway.) it especially made him sound not right this episode, which it fitting cuz he thinks the spider is dead~ poor douche. as for the people celebrating the "milestone ep", MH hasn't covered the main four's reunion scene yet (which has all of the homo in NA's version), so you still have a bit more to wait. :P |
| Poor Kurapika, i think Hisoka will tell him, and than... We'l see Kurapoka going crazy XDD |
 |
| Really good episode once again, but the scare scene was crap when compared the original version. |
| Would Chrollo have died if he didn't hire Illumi? |

Celastias said: against both of them, yes. I don't think he would have won. Few more minutes even and he would have died. Even if we don't know most of his abilities Chrollo did not seem to have anything that could break them apart. The cloak was the first thing that came to his mind after the poison dagger which hints that he has very limited possibilities to stop/paralyze/capture one of them. If he can't fight them one on one then combined they are way to strong.Would Chrollo have died if he didn't hire Illumi? |

| Good episode a cease-fire of the fighting. Of course, nobody knows that the Troupe has been successful, so I wonder what will happen. 4/5 |

| Another eps nicely done by Madhouse I guess.. Hunterpedia also never cease to amuse me.. Both 1999 and remake version are good in their own way so there's no need to always comparing every detail at every week cos it must be tiring lol.. Imho.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| cuz i wanna pitch in my thoughts on kurapika's little 'impissed' scene (nitpicking warning is appropriate here i suppose, for those who are sick of it): It fell a bit flat for me. Mainly because I was hoping they'd completely follow the actual manga panels for this part, since NA didn't. (not that I don't like what NA did, but the showing of his face/eyes was a tad too gradual/slow for me, though it still had its own creepy factor going for it) In that aspect I think MH was closer, but it still felt less abrupt and more gradual than it did in the manga. And I wish instead of zooming into his eyes again(yes they're pretty but seriously), it kept the screen on his full face for the 'im looking at you with my rage face' show. (and I dunno about this, but can someone who has the VIZ or japanese raws tell me if NA changed Kurapika's dialogue here? Because I'm reading some online scans and it seems like MH followed the manga, which means NA didn't?) |
| Awesome episode. The thing about reading a manga is you use your imagination to fill in the scenes between panels. When the anime does not meet your expectations with what you imagined, there will be a disappointment. This is why i prefer to watch the anime first as much as possible |
 |
| why does he feel empty? i would feel happy if ppl that killed my family were dead lol . & it makes me sad when i watch the intro and see uvogin smiling like hes in heaven aha ! |
|
| ^he's sad cuz he couldn't dish out his precious revenge. (which might equate to some kind of closure for him..) |
| The Zoldyck family trolled everyone. I'd actually forgotten that Illumi killed the Ten Dons. |
 |
| New pictures for the OP. So it's really good. |
 |
| LOLWAT it's surprising that people here are arguing about Chrollo's lines. It was awkward, yeah, but I was actually bothered by Kurapika saying "I won't believe 'till I see the bodies" or something along that line. I thought that was unnecessary and could be shown better if his facial expressions were properly drawn and shown. Just placing a black gradient over his face doesn't do the entire job. Also, the bidding and the bald-guy-getting-the-surprise-of-his-life scenes. The previous version did those very well, and with less dialogues too. The sad thing about the previous version was that it didn't conclude the TV series very well (but then again that's why OVAs were released) and they did some fanservice for LeoPika shippers which is a turn-off to those who dislike the fandom. On the positive side, Kurapika's sad face at the end of the episode really worked for me. That was heartbreaking. And Miyuki Sawashiro's voice acting is great as always. Also, it was emphasized that the ambulance won't be attacked. I thought that's a subtle way to tell the viewers that Specialization people think quite alike. Or maybe that's just me. :P A little nitpicking here, but back when Kurapika claimed the eyes, was that Paku in front of him along with the host? You'd think she'll have a clue that what's in front of her is the chain-guy, unless every crossdressing shounen out there has chains on his right hand. |

| Great to see an anime which follows manga so closely. The manga is at 300+ chapter .I guess Hunter x Hunter will be like bleach,one piece and naruto with more than 200 episodes. If that happens that would be great . I was disappointed when they stoped after greed island in ovas. |

GrimReaper-75 said: fearthebeard85 said: Wow I'm surprised my comments about the added line there turned into an arguement. My only point was that the line felt out of place, especially with Zeno's comments to Kuroro about knowing that he hired Illumi. If he knew that Illumi would kill the 10 dons before they were able to kill Kuroro then why did he fight in the first place? Side Note: (I understand this point so no need to give me an explaination, I was just using it to make the comparison as to why the line feels odd. In all 3 versions, he obviously knew who Illumi's client was, I just think it was better being unsaid since it came out in an odd manor here that contradicts his lines about not fighting if he's no paid). I do applaud Madhouse though for making the attempt, sometimes these scenes can be a hit or miss type of thing and it's not like the scene ruined the episode, I just think this was one of those moments where it was a miss. Last episode they nailed it with the added material of Silva's past encounter with Kuroro, that was good stuff. Maybe he wanted to kill Chrollo before Illumi kills the Ten Dons. You know, if chrollo dies Illumi won't kill the dons cuz he don't work for nothing. yeah I also think it was sort of a who kills the target before the other one contest in the family. However I don't think Illumi is like his grandfather and father. I think he likes to kill people even without profit. |

 |
| Chrollo should change his name to "trollo"....yeah, that wasn't funny. Good episode, it's going to be great to finally get into material I'm not familiar with next episode, I stopped watching the first anime after finishing the main TV series. |

| Wait so Illumni is also involved in this whole thing?? Wow...I never trusted that bastard anyways especially during the Hunter Exam arc. |
 |
| Amazing. I didn't know that Chrollo had hired Illumi to kill the Ten Dons. :O In the old version they didn't mention this I think... |
| Man I bet it was tough for Kurapika to stand there watching Neon happily cheering and thanking her dad for the Kurta eyes. Glad he put that fat ass mafia guy in his place though. |
 |
| For those who don't know, this is where the original 1999 series TV broadcast concluded, and moved on to three sets of OVAs. |
  |
| i love killua and the zoldyk family so much i also really like chrollo and hisoka HOW COME I LIKE ALL THE BAD GUYS kurapika's despair was poignant. the absence of anger can be worse than anger itself, and its good they touched on what would happen to him after revenge. its weird to see it cause he acts so levelheaded, but imo kurapika's the most mentally off-kilter of the 4 mcs. originally i think he was boringly perfect, growing to really like him! |
| Neon is just a stubborn bitch and his father is nothing but a selfish bastard. Phantom Troupe is the best!! |
 |
| Honestly, I think this has got to be one of my favorite episodes. Dem twists, dem ambiguity, dem suffering. Add the main four with meaningful screen time and you've got it all. (<3 how the brats escaped the Troupe. Simple but unexpected. Thanks Mr. Con Artist Sir!) |

| you know at this point I cant feel disappointed with these fights anymore, ofc someone had to interrupt the good stuff an big nose girl didn't realize the chains on Kurapikas hand when he went to get the kurta eyes |
 |
| ^ lol i knew that it would be another negative comment as soon as I saw your name. You should just stop watching this show, all you keep talking about are fights. And they're not even what make this show so good (even though I find them superb). Also, Kurapika's chains are only a conjuration. It's not an actual chain. Just like how we wouldn't see Hisoka's Bungee Gum in plain sight. |

It's his concern whether or not he wants to keep watching. Don't be obnoxious. |

| Illumi who killed all the den don's was secretly hired by chrollo for the assassination job. Zeno's and silva's fight has ended due to implications of bussiness matters and now chrolo and the phantom troupe have decided to post pone there invasion and camouflage them selfs to look like they been killed and now that kurapica noticed this, he is now distraught at the whole idea, because the only thing he lives for is getting vengance for the kurta clan, but as he thinks they are dead, he can't achieve his goal. There is one character that appears in the manga, only once, very little is known bout him besides the fact that he is the oldest of the Zoldyck family and the grandfather of zeno. I'm taking bout Maha Zoldyck. I guess he is never going to appear in this anime then huh? Well since he has a very subtle appearance in the manga, i guess the studio chose that he wasn't that important? |

| I want the Troupe to die so bad T^T Except Hisoka of course. |

| Damn wish they finished him off |
