| Was yelling so much from excitement. This is one of the top five most exciting anime episodes I've seen, without a doubt. |

| As long as Gon actually sacrifices something major (like his future nen usage as was suggested) I will accept the power up and even the completely one sided fight, especially against my favorite of the Ant characters. A tentative 5/5 assuming the show doesn't wimp out and have Gon keep his strength. |
 |
| This is perfection. Based Madhouse and Togashi. It's moments like these that separates HxH from other Battle Shounen. |
| HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! First of all, grown up(?) Gon looks hot. lol Thought of Hisoka at first after he transformed(?). All them muscles. Also, Pitou died.... I like her. I mean, I don't like her since she's an enemy but I really like her character. I'm freaking out now about what's gonna happen to Gon after this fight. |

| ...................holy shit, like I can't even with this show anymore ;__; |
 |
| I don't like this transformation becouse of one thing: Gon is main character. "He had to sacrifice everything to gain that power" - bullshit. He didn't sacrifice anything since he can get that power back, it's only temporary. His father will be like "ah, I done this before, you just need to do like 10 push ups and you will use nen again" I will change my mind about it if only manga ever ends and Gon won't get his power back, or if he get back, but he will never be that strong, so he will be miles behind other chars. Otherwise whole concept of Nen would be destroyed for me. |
| 3 setps to become Masochist: 1. Read source material 2. Watch anime adaptation 3. Suffer Bonus Step: Tell everyone that anime is crap becouse Manga/Novel is better (duh..) How to find the worst trash anime ever, so bad that people should be ashamed for even knowing this trash exist: 1. Check your favorite anime 2. Enjoy your shit taste pleb Works everytime for everyone. |
| what the FUC K WHAR THE FUCK ING FUJCK FUCJK D |
 |
| holy shit. it was definitely nothing like what i was expecting. rip pitou. also, those shorts look ridiculous on adult gon, lmao. |

| Holy mother of anime, what did Gon do to turn like that? Wow. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| So Gon is now the strongest character in this series if he could could use this form. Anyway this was the best a really great episode I can't say this was the best episode of the anime cause there have been much better episodes but still the animation of that transformation was impressive. |

How is he the strongest character when he's literally just "strong enough to beat Pitou", who was nothing compared to Netero? I know you're gonna say Gon 1-hit-KO'd Pitou, but Pitou would have sliced him open too if it hadn't been for Killua. And Gon still needed several hits to completely crush the head/kill Pitou. But all-in-all, both were equally powerful. |

But all-in-all, both were equally powerful. No... he said, in metaphors, that Gon has the potential to someday pose a threat to Meruem unless he is dealt with. And more importantly, Pitou's estimate is about as valid as Killua when he was frantic and he told Netero that Pitou would easily kill him. See my point? A lot of characters (and people IRL) say stuff that can be wrong, especially when in panic. My quote about Gon's power however, came from the narrator, which in most media is usually considered "word of god." |

| I love this anime with all my heart but damn...this transformation is stupid and ridiculous. I'm very proud of Killuah somehow though. |

| What nonsense is this? There has to be an explanation to the bullshit Gon pulled here. Something better than the redundant trading life force/aura BS. Now even Netero seems like a weakling compared to a damned 12 year old, unless we get a good explanation soon. |
| Adult Gon will be a really scary and powerful Hunter... Let's just hope this transformation doesn't bring too many consequences for him. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| Okay, idk how I feel about adult Gon lol.... I'm the type who prefers to see the MC train hard over getting a random spike in power. I guess since there's a fair trade in lifespan to gain power makes sense. He was epic nonetheless :3 Lookin' like a mix of Biscuit + Razor lmao Killua, I hope you reach him ;A; sorry for always going above and beyond for such a troublesome best friend >< I hope after all this, the days will be easier with Gon from now on :'( youse da best for not giving up on him. Gon is seriously such a handful :/ |
| Gon has gone through a lot of change and evolution. He knocked the crap outta Pitou. It was brutal but satisfying. Oh man it was glorious. 5/5 |
 |
| Just rewatched this and ohh myy god Gon, you fucking beast. Well, I didn't really like Pitou, so can't say I didn't like that annhilation. |
| This episode is the pinnacle of satisfaction... This episode is EPIC!!! Not only is the fight annihilation of Pitou by Gon is superbly animated, the ost is perfect for these moments, the feels and pain Gon was experiencing is delivered, and the amount of satisfaction when Gon was obliterating Pitou with that badass transformation is insane! PITOU ALSO SAID THAT GON IS JUST AS STRONG AS MERUEM!!! |

| Now i think i know why Togashi is on a hiatus a lot lately 😂 What if he is troubled dealing with the consequences of this transformation? 🤔 Ok that's just me thinking weird things.😅😅 |
0217 said: Most overhyped episode I've ever seen, in one of the most overhyped story arcs out there (which might be worthy of most of its praise if it had ended 10-20 episodes ago). This just goes to my criticisms of Togashi's writing. I feel the same way about Yu Yu Hakusho: The guy can write tension and conflict some of the time, but he can't write a satisfying climax. There are too many pretend stakes that don't pay off--every character we've been given a lot of time with *almost* dying, and the only one who actually dies, Kite, is a person we barely know. The music, visuals, and so on during Gon's transformation just didn't work, and the animation of Pitou twirling through the air looked like a low-budget discount scene. Apparently Gon made a great sacrifice by adopting this new form, but knowing Togashi, it will surely not really matter in the end. Lots of BS here I see. Netero died too so I don't get your complaint about lack of death. It's not about whether characters die or not, that's not how it works lol, the stakes are high because it still feels serious and Togashi can choose to kill characters if he wants and there are many examples, so there is no point in killing them all, besides just because they don't die doesn't mean they might make it out perfectly fine. This episode is one of the best production wise so I have no idea wtf you were watching when you say The music, visuals, and so on during Gon's transformation just didn't work, and the animation of Pitou twirling through the air looked like a low-budget discount scene." it was literally perfection on all those accounts. As for the last part, it might not be as extreme as you want it to be but this episode will leave everlasting impact and have a big effect on Gon's development, as much as the haters want to deny. |
| I made it here and I'm just so happy. Now I can say I've watched this moment. |

As for the last part, it might not be as extreme as you want it to be but this episode will leave everlasting impact and have a big effect on Gon's development, as much as the haters want to deny. Netero did die. He was technically an important character for this part the story but he was not emotionally connected to the main characters. "besides just because they don't die doesn't mean they might make it out perfectly fine." I'm on episode 139 right now, but I can assume the Gon is going to be chipper as always and overall it will seem like nothing has happened. "it was literally perfection on all those accounts." That transformation scene just seemed a bit disjointed, musically and visually. For an example of a strong buildup in a shonen that works, check out the finale of the Gohan vs. Cell fight in DBZ. That's an example that just seems so much smoother and more organic. It doesn't scream "imperfectly adapted manga scene." Out of curiosity, what makes you like ASOIAF so much? I haven't seen much of it. Again I will tell you that there will be everlasting effects of what happened in episode 131, just not as extreme as you think, but it's definitely not like "nothing has happened" and will change the course of the entire story. I think the whole point is that it's different from the other transformation scenes, it's supposed to be messed up, cause it's not a good thing for Gon, it's not a happy glorious transformation, but a dark destructive one, you can't really compare it to Gohan. If you've read the manga you know the Anime did the scene 1000 times better. I'll reply to your ASOIAF question with a message on your profile. |
| Rewatching It hurt to see Gon like that,still one of the most badass moments in this show. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| damp Gon macho mode was so unexpected…that brutal kill… they are implying that he will never be the same again |
 |
| If you had told me Gon would be able to become even more badass a couple episodes ago, I wouldn't have believed you. But here we are, and Gon not only is buff as fuck and would put Bisky to shame, he even has a hairstyle worthy of a god! Him executing Pitou like that was both incredibly satisfying to watch, but also really sad. After all, this means that Gon has finally snapped, and just when Pitou finally showed her "human" side and became a creature not to be hated, but to be pitied... Pitou is beaten to jelly. Definitely another climax of this series! Damn, Hunter x Hunter keeps on climaxing like it's nothing. |
| How did his shorts also grow? |
animeguy17 said: epic moment for sure. Second time watching this and I still think Gon was overreacting a bit. He barely knew Kite. To sacrifice his life is a bit extreme. If it had been Killua or Gin that would be understandable, but this whole character change was very sudden to me. Kite was the first friend that Gon ever made and the one who told Gon about hunters in the first place. He was essentially Gon's surrogate father figure. |

animeguy17 said: Nihilfist said: Kite was the first friend that Gon ever made and the one who told Gon about hunters in the first place. He was essentially Gon's surrogate father figure. 1. Please tell me the episode showing this 2. If Gon's special relationship with Kite is from the past, it is illogical for him to not remember him until meeting him again. The anime changed Kite's introduction. In the manga Kite appears in chapter 1 and saved Gon from a bear when Gon was like 5 |
| Oh so that's why they created that really whack figure from him! WOW really, did never expect this to be honest, felt so sad and so impressive! This really was probably the best episode of this arc! Really do wonder what will happen with Gon though, but from what it looks like here it really doesn't look good for Gon and his life force! |
 |
| Never liked this episode really, an the top of the cake of an overall disappointing arc. It would have made much, much more sense and it would have been way more belieavable if Gon had lost his shit because it was either Killua or his father Ging the one he was told to be dead. No matter how related Kite had been to his father it's hard to believe Gon had developed such an affection towards him in such little time. Besides his "transformation" was painfully laughable. Looked super ridiculous. |
