| Tonpa is great, what a troll. I was grinning the whole time he was making himself look badass, because I remembered how this turned out. Looking forward to Kurapika and Killua's fights. Particularly Kurapika |

| So, those two from the previous episode were confirmed dead/missing now. That erased a lot of my fears, I don't mind toned down violence as long as the most important consequences and implications of character defining events like that aren't completely changed. This is plenty brutal as it is even without blood, and not just for a Sunday morning cartoon. I don't really mind Tonpa, it's not like he gets in the way that much. He's unlikeable and unconvincing but providing some rage and laughs and a couple of pieces of information about the exam and examinees are all he's there for. |

| love phase 3's concepts. everything was humorous and interesting, im anticipating the upcoming matches. cutest moment: killua and gon playing with each others random weapon |
| Tonpa's shenanigans are finally revealed, he's a pretty sick bastard to take pleasure in others' failures but it's hard to believe he's in his 40s or older, he looks like a chubby otaku fresh out of high school. Things are heating up, I wonder if the majority vote thing will play a role in their battles. |
 |
| fuck I love the OST and damn that Tonpa characters like Gon are the ones I like the most... he looks and acts like an idiot but is actually strong physically and mentally and he doesn't brag about it.. |

| would've loved to see Tonpa get tortured. |
| That guy climbing down the tower lol. What an idiot trying to get ahead of the game by cheating. So.. i wonder what tompa's reasons are for wanting to sabotage every exam. Now the real exam finally begins, this is when things get really interesting. Time to see togashi''s intelligent mind to work. The Trick tower! I love how in this series, everything is based on observational skills and working as a team to try and come out on top. Alot of these same strategic skills are used later on in the real world when they actually get into these types of encounters also. |

Raeistic said: Why would Killua not fight? x) Probably because he came just for fun and well other reasons |
| Shonen! |
| I feel like Tonpa was the worst person that they could've teamed up with...I really wanted to watch him fight that guy, but he gave up so quickly even though I had a feeling that he would. I'm really interested to see how Gons fight goes. |
 |
| I almost thought Tonpa was going to fight. xD Man, of all the people for them to wind up with. At least his neck didn't get crushed, like Kurapika mentioned. I'm curious to see how Gon's fight will go... and unlike some other people here, I'd rather not see unneeded killing, so perhaps it'd be better if Killua didn't fight next episode. Speaking of which, the people here seem to have a bad habit of talking about the next episode in the previous episode's topic. I may have to stop reading the comments at this rate. x.x |
| Is Gon still not being counted at a remaining contestant. Hmm, good episode. Finally some one on one battles |
 |

RediceRyan said: The one guy that Hisoka bumped into earlier on (who got his arms disappearing into petals) was disqualified. That's why it had said there were 404, applicants, when Gon was no. 405.Is Gon still not being counted at a remaining contestant. Hmm, good episode. Finally some one on one battles |

Paul said: Personally, I found this episode horrible. They stalled out way too much, which is a first for HxH 2011. Well, as long as they don't censor Killua's match next episode I won't care... unless they take another episode to get to his fight. Totally Agree |
| I think my favourite episode so far! I love the concept of the Third Phase. I hope Tonpa's sabotage doesn't mean the group end up getting stuck. |
| That fucking Tompa, it was obvious he would pull out something like that xD I found it kinda hilairous that the first criminal had 199 years of prison. Even if he reduce it by 72 years, it will still be 127 years, which mean he would just die in prison. It's true though that if he were to participate again, he could have 144 years off his sentence. But somehow, I feel like they only choose the prisoners who have no chance to get out of the prison alive, if they were to able resist for 72 hours. |

| Tonpa the roadblock. |
| tonpa really was a neutral zone for me. it was already decided he sucked way beforehand so....you hate him now all of a sudden? loved pika's rek. and i wasn't even mad when he said he wouldn't kill. after all, killing that guy is not on his list of revenge. and for the nostalgiatards be prepared to be disappointed next ep.... |
 |
| Tonpa is so annoying. Those of you who havent seen this before... you just wait until Killua fights! he's badass <3 He's pretty much my favourite anime character of all time. |
 |
| damn the episodes are finishing too fast *_* |
 |
| Tonpa is such a dick lol |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| lol at the sentence. This guy Tonpa invented trolling. |

| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Tonpa lol, good luck to Gon! |
| Finally some action starting |
 Set by SenpieX |
| lol honestly Tonpa unwittingly made the best strategical decision: to pit the examinees' weakest fighters against the prisoners' seemingly strong fighters, lose/resign quickly, and save as much time as possible. Good job to Tonpa for being an idiotic ass. I was actually expecting him to draw out the inevitable loss for as long as possible (tho considering the power difference I guess that strategy wouldn't have worked for long anyways), so his actions actually gave the team a better chance of winning lol |
| LOL yeahhhh, that spineless asshole Tonpa got me worked up the first time I watched the old HxH so I understand everyone's hate for him xD now I know all his stupid little schemes so I'm not as fazed but he still an ass lmfao Yeyyyyyy, Gon! Let's get LIT ;D ;D |
| The trick tower will be SOO AWESOME NOW!!! I can't wait until 'the real fight' happen here! IMO Tonpa will always be annoying! |
  |
| well the fight of Gon lagulla (still can't pronounce his name properly) seeme legit |
 |
| Tonpa that bastard....ohh well I am glad he did not do that much harm.... 3rd phase in process |
| |
| How did this show trick me into thinking Tonpa was a good guy for a second? Bastard... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Solid progression, they really did a fantastic job on the pacing! |
 |
| With the notion that Trick Tower was the 3rd phase already, I had assumed that the exams are nearing its end but Kurapika's guess that they're only halfway there made me excited! Tonpa might've been a massive setback for the team but him making the right call by immediately surrendering definitely stopped things from getting a lot worse for them all. |
 |
| how do episodes fly by this fast? That fat piece of shit is bugging my nerve and has been doing so ever since he first appeared. |
| I hate that Tonpa guy. Also, why do I feel like Kurapika is actually a girl in disguise? If he (or she?) is I honestly wouldn't be surprised. |
Agreed. It literally felt like 10 min long... tops.. I'm looking forward to these 1x1 battles. |
  |
| The whole Tower Test is incredible so far, i'm loving it, the only thing I hate is Tonpa lol he's really annoying, can't wait to see the fights next ep |
 |
| Man I really hate Tonpa he's so stupid, but it was a great episode I love how the exam works. |
 |
| Thank god Tonpa won't be around for much longer as far as I remember... |
| Tonpa is annoying as hell bruh. Damn him The OP and ED are really good. I listened to the entire ending for the first time and it’s like, metal with auto tune! It’s so good! Damn, I’m an idiot for always skipping it because of the first few secs of autotune. The visuals are really cool for the ED too. |
