NewHJ said: Skraggy said: Illumi and Hisoka interactions are always great. They bring out the funny side in each other. Lol at Killua's mom being happy that Killua was willing to sacrifice her. Also, I just noticed that all the Zoldyck brothers have "llu" in their names (Illumi, Milluki, Killua, Alluka, Kalluto) Actually, there are more than "llu" that is commoin their names. IlluMilluKilluAlluKalluto Yeah and because of this many people already knew Alluka's name long before he even appears. |
| Excellent episode as always... This anime is just too damn good! |
| Status: In love with Pariston's voice XD And that Silva's gaze... |
   |
| Solid episode. That part with Hisoka and Illumi, and Illumi expected to be the most loved of Killua was hilarious especially with Hisoka's reaction. |

| Alluka is too cute. It's nice to see Killua play the big brother role, makes me like him even more. Overall a great episode. I also really liked the part where Meruem and Pitou were mentioned by Illumi. Makes me wish Illumi and Hisoka were in the ant arc. They would face true fear xD |

Satan-sama said: jirico said: So it is possible to make conditional wishes. Also it seems it is possible to pretend a wish, since Alukka asked Kilua to die but he just pretended or the translation is wrong and Alukka actually said him to pretend like a dog?? I think she was just kidding. :/ I apparently misunderstood that scene. When he asked Killua to die I thought he actually died, then when he asked him to sit back up, I thought that Killua's head regenerated... |
Fayed301 said: Cool episode but the arc is going way too slow, 1 episode a week isnt enough :( I have a question, A theory going on around the internet saying Alluka doesnt make requests from her family members coz she doesnt want them to die am I right? Well if thats true why does she ask killua stuff, right? Rule 2: If Alluka is making requests from a particular person, they cannot be moved over to another person mid-way. Therefore if that particular person disappears such as concealing themselves, Alluka is unable to make requests to anybody else. |
 |
| The shininess in Pariston is somewhat annoying. Alluka telling Killua to die :O That fast movement made it seem like he died! Some more about the rules and some only Killua knows! That something with that face! The wish to leave the mountains or mother dies! Ending with a kiss! Alluka is really cute. |
 |
| excited for leorios return! |
| Best part of this episode was Hisoka's conversation with Illumi. When Hisoka, of all people, tells you that you have issues, you clearly have some SERIOUS issues. A lot of heartwarming moments between Alluka and Killua. Really nice. |
| Hisoka and Illumi chatting over drinks makes it seem like they have a true man's friendship. It was funny to see Milluki get nervous in front of his parents. |
| That Hisoka and Illumi on the plane scene makes for some good hentai ;) |
 |
| Okabe.. "but he's a guy" |
| Really loved the ending scene. <3 Can't wait to see Leorio in the next episode. |
Mormegil said: Best part of this episode was Hisoka's conversation with Illumi. When Hisoka, of all people, tells you that you have issues, you clearly have some SERIOUS issues. Somebody on reddit said pretty much the same thing. I agree. Time to re-evaluate things Illumi! |

| Looks like leorio will appear next episode. Leorio needs a bigger role in this show :( Good episode. Really wish somebody would beat the crap out of that fat kid. |
| you sound poor |
| OK so Killua is going to fulfill another three of Alluka 's requests and make someone else (maybe Leorio? ) wish for Gon to be healed? That's what I think anyway but I have a question, once the wish is made why would Killua want to take on the next three requests (as I'm pretty sure they will be very hard) ? Is it because he doesn't want Alluka to be sent back into that prison thing so he wants to get Alluka 's requests back down to a low level so she doesn't unintentionally harm people? Otherwise it doesn't make sense to me since Killua can make his wish and then leave Alluka in the underground prison before she has a chance to make any further requests(but Killua will obviously not want that to happen) thanks in advance for any replies :) |
| Interesting episode, we learn more about Alluka power and how it works, I also liked the Hisoka and Illumi scene pretty funny. Overall this was a pretty boring episode but interesting at the same time. 3/5 |

| Lots of power explanation this episode, but tons of fun character interactions as well. Zoldycks are such a loving family. We get our first actual interactions with Alluka too, and she is both cute and really creepy. She's like a weird play on the whole sister fetishism thing that permeates the medium -- not sure if that was intentional or not. Spoilers for the manga |

| lol so faking death can grant a request afterall, nice going Killua |
j0x said: lol so faking death can grant a request afterall, nice going Killua No, I'm pretty sure that when Alluka made that request, it was along the lines of "play dead" (reinforced by the hand gesture of a toy gun and the requests that came afterwards). The severity of the requests depend on how big the last wish was, and Milluki's computer was rather minor. |

But then when i think of a character that Togashi writes has bored or irritated me, i cant remember any. Look at Pouf, Ging and Partison, crazy fuckers and i love them the way they are. |

| I've just noticed that among them 5 siblings, Killua's the only one who has silver hair. Can't help but be reminded of the kid from Ju-on, a popular Japanese horror film, whenever I see "something's" face. |

So, yeah, you could be right. |

Keetriver said: Anyone else finding it increasingly bizarre Killua knew nothing about Nen until the Heaven's Tower Arc? -All this superpower shit that he knew about within the Zoldyck family, like Zeno's Dragon Dive and Alluka's wish granting, and he never questioned to his parents or relatives how it's all possible? -You'd think the Zoldyck family, being the greatest assassins with a huge reputation to live up to, would teach Killua Nen at an early age so he doesn't make a fool out of himself against the hundreds of Hunters and especially his first run at Heaven's Tower. And even more so especially since he was originally chosen as the successor. -Kalluto knows how to use Nen and he's younger than Killua, as well as being the less favored son. Arguably you could say that Zoldyck family decided to change their methods and teach him Nen early after Killua decided to leave with Gon, but its not like they abandoned Killua. Maybe I'm being too picky but it's making it harder to rewatch some earlier episodes He was forced to battle in the Heavens Arena at the age of 6 by Silva, in which he took two years to get to the 199th floor but he didn't go to the 200th so he didn't learn Nen. Silva told him to go back home after the he reach the 200th floor. If he did what Silva told him to do, he would have learn nen at the age of 6. |

Correction- he did get to the 200th floor like he was supposed to; he just didn't fight on it. Still, it's not like Killua wasn't being taught anything. Where do you think his monsterous strength and assassination techniques came from? You can know about things without knowing what exactly they are. When he learned about nen, he probably had a moment where he thought, "Oh! That's what that was!" As for his lack of curiosity... Killua never really cared about killing, so he probably didn't care about the powers needed to kill either. That Silva had to have Illumi manipulate him with needles says a lot. |
| This show doesn't cease to amaze me. This episode is exactly the reason I changed my rating from 9 to 10 in the past. |

And, how could any Zoldyck member NOT know of the Dragon Dive ability? I don't think the Zoldycks function quite like the Phantom Troupe - where they trust one another enough to mostly keep each other's powers & abilities a secret among each individual self. As for Alluka's "Ne-" Allkuka: "BANG..! For spoilers." |

Him going to Heaven's Tower doesn't anything to do in the slightest as to why his family never taught him nen, which is the only major plot hole in Hunter x Hunter. |

| Poison, electricity could kill someone too. Silva told him to go to the 200th floor but he didn't fight there if he had done what his father told him, he'll have nen since the age of 6. |
| D'aww that ending c: |

| This arc ... 10/10. Illumi x Hisoka best pairing, period. Leorio is back, yay. |
