| Yeah, I certainly have my issues with the '99 series but they executed that scene really well. It's probably because I have gotten into the late material of this '2011 series, but I much much prefer Han Megumi as Gon. |

| I think the voice acting for all the characters was overall a bit flatter in the 99's version, so I guess this explains that. And you're also probably biased because of Megumi's performance the later episodes hehe. I should really get around finishing the 99 version, tho. That scene you linked was executed significantly better than in 2011. |

| Majority of veteran fans not affected by "counter feedback" say 99 adapted most things much more gracefully and was overall better. If it's anything like that link always, then it's right imo. |

| I already stated my love for the 99 version. There are many things it did better imo like that scene, of course there are things it did worse but I prefer the 99 version till GI arc. |

| Is Gon Araragi? Using the powerful tactic : ''I'll get beaten until the other party get bored''. It can be a useful tactic from time to time. Poor girl, she never saw that gunshot coming... It look like we'll even get flashback next episode. Y U DO DIS MADHOUSE? How can they even follow that training. That was madness, beyond human strength. Well, I say that like if the show was supposed to be realistic... x) I was wondering if all the family was like Illumi, but it isn't the case. The fatty must the rejected child :) |

| Just because shes black... |
 |
| well done gon, just beat your head against the problem until it solves itself. |
| Some intense rock lee training. When Gon removed his arm bandages, I just had the image of seeing Gon's arm bend backwards as he pushed the door. Great another Gon getting beat up montage. |
 |
| The thing about the gate in the manga sounds interesting. Pretty cool that Leorio is the strongest of the three in terms of raw strength. |
Ratohnhaketon said: Killua's mother is a quack, her voice is gentle yet sounds very desperate/on the verge of insanity. I really like how fast paced this series is compared to other longer running battle shounens, they got the training done without spending 4 episodes emphasizing the power of nakama and believing in yourself. that's what i hated about one piece. they kept up with that stupid nico arc for so long (so, so, so, SO long) that i quit looking at it with my brotherat the times i could. it took me a long time to get back into it. ------ great ep, but how did gon get so beat up? i've forgotten...:/ oh how i love canary! i wonder if killua likes you the most out of all servants, or is it one-sided? |
 |
| Oh, Gon... |
| Damn, I really wanted to believe the father hadn't an ulterior motive. It's a good thing that killua has affection for the gang, at least. I don't think they will ever betray him... Maybe when he starts killing people ruthlessly. Oh shit. |
| things getting interesting |
 |
| This pacing is kinda fast. |

| Damn. Killua should not have gone home. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| So...do the condoms weigh the same as well? :D Did Killer's mom look like that before he attacked her? DAT KIMONO! Gon gonna Gon. I knew once I saw that servant she was going to die(or close to it). :D |
| 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). |
| Killua's father ;-; |
| With all these minor changes, I feel like this falls a bit short compared to the original ;/ Like what ppl have already stated, Leorio needs his early spotlight of opening the gate. Esp since he's one of the few hunters that weren't necessarily qualified to be a hunter given his lack of skills in the 4th phase. Don't get me wrong, I like that Leorio passed and is a hunter, but I'm just saying. That's why it'd be nice for him to prove himself by being all badass opening up to the 2nd gate on his own. Merp :3 |
| The training montage was definitely interesting. However, the part when Gon repeatedly cross the line which that servant. Those scenes are RUSHED. It felt like the pacing for the second half of the episode was unnatural. On the bright side, the first half is great! |
  |
| Really glad that butler got thwacked. Getting sick of people clearly superior to Gon letting him win. Someone needs to show this kid that the world doesn't let you skate by just because you have a strong heart and a gleam in your eye, and hopefully this death signifies that. |
 |
| Damn the apprentice got killed…that was truly sad I was not expecting that.. I like how it becoming more and more darker |
 |
| Killua's mom's a fucking cunt. I thought I was mad at the rejected Boondocks character apprentice girl, but she turned out to not be so cold. Gon? It's absolutely okay to hit a woman. LET'S DO THIS |

Around episode 30 or so the show gets much much better. And Gon definitely learns some hard life lessons in later arcs. Really glad I stuck with this show. |
|
| Yea the progress or at least the pacing seems a whole lot faster than in the original. It might just appear so though as I don't remember exactly how much episodes it took to get to this point, but it did feel a whole lot longer there! |
 |
| Man, Gon's such an extreme masochist... What a perv! |
 |
| Leorio and Kurapika's dedication towards opening the Gate of Trial without Gon's help for his own sake was inspiring but the moment he finally chimed in was what finally opened the doors to the Zoldyck Estate. Gon's "fighting" style of getting so beaten up that you'd feel bad about it is definitely a very effective tactic. Even though he got so damaged, his will stayed strong because of the purity of his intentions and made the likes of that apprentice and even me tear up. It's too bad that Mama Zoldyck killed her like that so suddenly since she was shown to be a really kind person. |
 |
| Lel it's kinda funny how so far Gon's only way to win fights is to get beaten so bad his opponent concedes. |
| I did not consider torture a way for disciplining a family member, it seems these assassins do leave to their name. I liked the apprentice servant, I hope she's not out of action. |
| the whole 'opening the gate' part i was like... what's next? but then whe i though there's going to be some interesting development gon continues with his stubbornness, it's not bad, but not new, until the end caught me unguarded. i hope it's not just me who think this arc resembles the soul society arc from bleach. |
| So Killua is being tortured by his family? wtf, they are totally insane, poor girl... Gon has probably the best determination ever |
 |
| And to think that this took even longer in the 1999 version... even with the fixed pacing it's still hella slow lol |
| The way Gon refused to back down against Canary was admirable. I couldn’t help but make the connection to how Indians protested to British rule before they got their independence. It’s a very powerful protest that transcends using brute force. Canary doesn’t seem bad though. She felt bad for Gon =( At least Gon made it through, but it seems there’s another Zoldyck awaiting him. |
 |
| The moment that Kurapika and Leorio + Gon opened the door was the best!!! Gotta love the chemistry between those 3 in order to save their friend Killua. It would have been cooler if Leorio alone or with Kurapika opened the door but wasn't that bad. Gotta love the little family they created! |
 |
| Gon must really like being hit lol. |
| Well that's a quick enough training arc for me |
 |
| I wonder if Canary is dead... |
 |
| Damn the whole episode was nice and exciting but that final scene with Canary was sad, but then again Killua's family are assasins at the end of the day |
| That was a great episode. They managed to open the gate but were stopped by the apprentice and then he got shotted, I'm guessing. I hope he's alright as well. |
 |
| Oh man, Killua has a very fucked up family. |
| ppppp //////////////////////////////////////////////// |

| Waaait, that one screen of Leorio's face that people often post is from this episode? I always thought it was from like, some pivotal moment of the series or something. It just kind of just casually appeared here. xd |
| OωO |
| One of the shows strongests episodes imho, Canary is so cool... |
