So is this Pitou guy hot shit or what? Not often you see fans collectively pre-ing themselves over 2 seconds of preview.


Along with other things Neferpitou is the most popular villain in the series. (Killua, Kurapika, Gon, Kite and Leorio being the only characters more popular then him/her)
So this Pitou is more popular than Meruem and the Phantom Troupe?

I don't get why are you guys debating if Pitou is a guy or a girl. She is obviously a girl. She even have a breast in the opening sequence. And I doubt Madhouse just decided her gender without asking Togashi.

Anyways, I don't really care about Pitou's gender. I ONLY CARE ABOUT
GENDER!

I feel like this arc would be better if watched in a row, the episodes are still decent on their own, and the soundtrack did get better just a little bit
and I hate that Neferpitou he/she/whatever and who cares about their genders, half of togashi's characters are traps

I was reading a blog that covered this anime and the blogger put out an interesting speculation on why Kite always says "bad spin" for each of his rolls. He wrote that the term "bad spin" is possibly coined by Kite as a way to mourn both himself as well as those he kills. So maybe "bad spin" does not mean that the rolls are bad, but rather that Kite feels sorrow for having to kill another.

Although the speculation might not be true, I find it interesting and it does fit his character. Especially since I do believe on the episode Kite was introduced he said something along the lines of "forced to take another life," like he does not want to kill others.

A ha, I was about to mention the same reference. Definitely a good interpretation on why he says that.

Damn, that was published in 2004 and Neferupitou was already a popular character. Made me remember how Togashi is always on hiatus. That was 9 years ago! I hope he starts making manga again, at least long before the anime catches up to the current chapter. He had so much time and hasn't made a chapter for over a year but I guess his breaks are necessary. HxH 2011 may end at the current chapter and they may need to do like a Naruto Shippuden kind of thing. I like the way they do fillers in this anime, just adding more content which is better than filler episodes and gives him more time but still.

What spoilers? The discussion over Pitou's gender-ambiguity? Literally nothing else has been said about the character, and you see him/her in the OP. Literally no plot elements regarding the character have been discussed (at least, none that I can recall).

They asked Kite last episode why he would make such an inconsistent Nen power; what if it's to sate his gambling addiction?

Who cares is Pitou is a guy or girl, all I want to know is where this hype surrounding it is coming from? I've never read the manga and I am trying to stay away from it as to not ruin the series for myself. (I'm enjoying the anime over reading the manga)

Is this Pitou character really as awesome as half of you are spouting?

I definitely enjoyed this episode but I kind of wished Gon and Kil would of gotten the chance to fight more until Kite rolled a 2 and got that OP'd scythe. That was enjoyable to watch.

The plot thickens within the next episode based off the preview. I cannot wait to see these royal guard characters.

SIDE NOTE: Where are those damn yo-yos?!

This episode of Hunter x Hunter 2011 was so awesome...for starters the fight between Gon and that armadillo/chimera ant,the way he crushed him whit his bare hands was so...brutal,i didn't expect that from Gon,but at least that ant finally stopped talking...i was going to throw up at one point, because of that talk of vomiting organs.
And Killua...as always,being the bad-ass he is...his fight was good too.
Wow...the thing that really confused me was the ability of Kite...no,actually the "bad spin" he got...seriously...that's a bad spin o_o what?! ...that was the best spin i could think off,in that situation...which kept me thinking,if this is a bad spin,what is the good supposed to be?
Or dose it have any goods at all...i don't think so.Or maybe everything is depending on the kind of mood Kite is,while fighting?
We also saw that the ants are trying to figure how to use nen,which is really bad news...i can't wait to see whats going to happened next.
And finally in the next episode we are going to see one of the royal guards i think,(correct me if I'm wrong ) i can't wait .

The fuck is a "good" spin for Kite? Bug spray?

Well, if Kite thought the situation was the best deal they could hope for (a tournament-like ruleset where Gon and Killua could get much needed experience fighting Chimera Ants), then a giant scythe that mercs all of the opponents at once would be kind of a bad spin.

Very true. That's why I am a little perturbed that he even got that scythe on the roulette spin. Gon and Kil need more training.

I'm glad he got the Scythe for a couple of reasons. First, they simply don't have the time to be wasting in a tournament style battle, picking off enemies one at a time. Second, this tournament type deal would have pretty much killed all the momentum this arc has been building so far. From a writing perspective, it would have been pretty much suicidal.

In fact, my first reaction to this situation was an "are you kidding me? Really?" Thank god we have a very competent writer for this series in Togashi. I smiled when Kite pulled out the Scythe, because Togashi pretty much told one of my least favorite shounen cliches to fuck off.

Damn right. Togashi is pretty good at killing cliches in general. The anime drags a bit more than the manga though but the pace has been ok so far, touching wood.

Well, yeah. From a writing standpoint, going through the process of killing ants over and over again would have killed the pacing entirely. But from the character's viewpoint, Gon and Killua going through a crowd of Chimera Ants one by one was a great opportunity. Also, if memory serves (and I may be mixing up the order on this one, let me know), Kite concluded that they would reach the Queen in time before he ended up drawing the scythe. That implies that this group wasn't going to delay them too much even if they went one at a time. Unless you mean that the series literally doesn't have time to go through all the fights, in which case... well, yeah. This was the mook squad, I don't think there was ever really a chance of actually seeing all the fights even if all the fights did end up happening. We'd get a few, and then we'd flash forward to the aftermath.

Hmm, I never took that into consideration but Gon and Kil both need more training. They could barely handle Rammot and now that he has developed Nen and all the other Ants are sure to catch on, they are going to have a tough time.

But, the tournament style would of slowed it down considerably. So you're right on that but they do have enough time to make it to the Queen. Kite did state that. I'm not even sure why he was participating in these fights to begin with. He is obviously way more powerful than these mooks and kind of contradicted himself a bit by joining the fight.

Other than that, I cannot wait to see what Hunters will be joining the fray.
