arrrhhh
Knuckle your so stupid. I can't believe he didn't notice that Gon stuttered the first part
its called Jankenpon, not JaJanken, idiot!

However Knuckle is right that it takes to long to use,allowing the enemy enough time to attack.
jeez Knuckle is nice though for giving pointers out to Gon helping him improve in the fight.

awww the cute little Killua as a baseball player ♥
I can't believe Killua is actually going with the name "JaJaken"

poor Killua (his face) its was that Goril...Biscuit...but its true that if he continues to run away he will one day leave Gon.

Just finished watching and decent episode. Nice to see the fight but damn, Knuckles is strong. Oh and there's that fear of Killua again:


Oh and Bisky is a boss!

Ending was nice too, somewhat reminds me of last week's end.

Dat budget saving : P

As much as I think Knuckle's a cool guy, this training bit of the arc pales in comparison to everything after it.

Bisky's explanation shows why all the power level talk you see in other battle shonen is silly. There are lots of factors(as Morel told Killua already) you have to take into consideration when two people clash.

Some examples we've seen recently (and many more to come!) :
- Someone could get the jump on the other person
- One person is smarter than the other
- More efficient use of Nen

It was fine but only average for the show. Nothing you haven't seen already previously

Just not something like Gon vs Hisoka or the NGL Factory

It's good that Bisky told Killua that, there was no way in hell that Killua would improve if he only fought those who are weaker than him.

Gon's new ability was nice, from this point it is obvious that Gon/Killua are far inferior to Knuckles/Shoot, wonder how they're going to beat them.

Nice episode.

Interesting! I like the scenarios about C beating D. A battle is not just about power. Morel did say than one mistake can turn the tables in a fight.

I would love to see Killua fighting again <3

Boring episode is boring. Too goddamn slow. The only thing I liked was the new soundtracks that played, I can see them played in the 2nd half and fit perfectly.

lol but it covered almost 4 chapters from the manga. Next episode should be a lot more interesting and will end this "training" part of the arc.

What I want to know is if that's real color of Shoot's Nen? I can't remember the last time someone had a green colored aura like that from this show.

I found this part as boring in the manga as well. The first half of the arc as a whole in the manga was meh for me, but Madhouse were doing a good job until now (except for this episode).

I think it won't last long until things start to pick up, probably after the next couple of "light-hearted" fun episodes featuring Palm.

Not too fun of an episode, but it's at least going at a better pace than the manga did at this stage. Hopefully the next will be the last.

Have to agree here, the pace is a bit slow and the latest episodes feel repetitive. The only thing i learned in this episode was Bisky's explanation of powerlevel and mental attitude. Figthing stronger opponents seems to be a big deal for Killua, her speech might have a strong influence later on.

Not enough people are appreciating the fact that this still proved to be the only non cliche
Shonen after all,
Gon passed out again all by himself XD no asspulls and crap


Animation was weird though, Gon's chin...

It s not my favorite episode by far. The only really fun thing was Biscuit beating up Killua.

I wish they have done the fight between Gon and Knukle better.. especially the explanation from Killua about jajanken tricks (I remember it was a bit confusing too in the manga though).

There is one inconsistency: I am pretty sure Biscuit's 'gorilla' power activates when she gets hit and we see her go all out from the start in this episode, which doesnt make sense.

Next week is gonna be a bit more fun. There will still be fairly boring episodes in this arc but overall, it will just get more interesting as we go :).

Finally... after all that training with Bisky, it all goes down next ep! ... and probably the one after that too! Lol. But seriously, I can't wait for them to get back to the Chimera Ants and kick some ass. As for the upcoming battles, I'm particularly excited for Killua vs. Shoot. Now that we've seen Gon in action Killua should be awesome.

Good episode. I think they did what Shingeki is doing(abusing). Not cutting any lines told in character thoughts which brings scenes we saw in the past. Thats seems to be the reason why people blame it as a repetition, bad pacing, slow pacing, boring episode and probably miss the point why they are there.

5/5

JaJanken, oh Knuckle.

Bisky's words to Killua depressed me. I would never think Killua would do such a thing! I can't even.
I'm looking forward to the conclusion, thank god we're moving on.
