Getting more annoyed at Tompa and hopping he'll have a slow and painful death. xD

Also, Trick Tower is finally done. ^_^

Honestly, I was thinking what Gon ended up coming up with at the very beginning. "Why don't they just ignore the stupid majority rule and break the door down? Duh." I was surprised that the invigilators were surprised. I thought that was the trick... So yeah, while I suppose Gon is great for figuring it out, I'm not really as awed as everyone else? XD

Tonpa WAS really annoying though. Hope he fails the exam in the end. I'll be a bit peeved if he passes for whatever reason.

Gon was really smart with his idea. I love how he makes everyone like and believe him <3

He couldn't do it right way 'cause they needed to use the majority rule first. If they had just break the door, they'd fail.

For that sort of tower, that waiting room sure was grand. It even had a video game set. And Gon was awesome. After everything he's previously said, he's good in using his head after all.

There is no way? FCKN MAKE ONE! One of the better scenes in the series so far, seriously.

The thing with Gon is that he is no Naive and so simple that it makes sense for him to come up with such a plan. "She is going to play Paper? Just go Scissors!" "We can't open the door we need? Then break the wall around it!"

This was one of my favorite scenes from 2011 and the 1999 ver. didn't let down in the slightest.

Vacation, tho.... >_>

Could be great (character building) or the worst (awful character building).

So they're finally done with the tower. I kjnd of wonder if Tonpa will have a change of heart and start helping out.

They've finally passed the 3rd exam. Without Gon's idea. They all would've never passed this stage.

(I guess Kilua had already run out of bombs)

Killua is the only one of the main group I do not dislike, I guess that's why I can't enjoy this anime as much.

Gon was really smart in this episode. He found an interesting way around the round which was meant to separate the group while also remaining intanct.

This show's settings can take on any form. It really, really is like a fever dream. They're traversing a dungeon-like tower with torches and sandstone and deathly abysses and after defeating the five inmates Gon and friends chill in a room with sofas and pillows, a minifridge and a microwave, a bookshelf with books, a little bird dipper thingy, apparently a means of making coffee, and some kind of videogame. What's a comfortable room like that doing amidst a grim tower like the Trick Tower?


How'd the proctor know that the applicants would need a room like that to recover in after possibly wagering enough time to land them there?

It was interesting, though. Leo had time to shave. Like I said, Kura was drinking coffee. The kids were playing videogames. That frickin room is just so peculiar.

Reminds me of the food court on the blimp the applicants took.

Gon is truly an especial kid. It’s funny how they spent the time, Killua and Gon playing videogames, Kurapika joining them. Leorio, you must be the one staying if that’s the case, you lucky. I wish Tonpa to die slow and painfully.
