| Loved the contrast between the music and the scenes occuring when Gon was telling Palm he can't offer her what she wants out of him. That scene is happening with the sweet, calming OST playing while Killua is getting the snot beat out of him at the same time. The Needle scene overall was a lot more subdued than I pictured it would be in the anime(Atmosphere, music, etc). Not that it's bad, just a different interpretation Gon was dumped and didn't even know it lol |

| god i love Palm |
| I have to admit, that 'date' between Gon and Palm is cute at night. He sure knows how to show a lady how to have a nice time. This episode also proves that Killua can overcome that asshole of a brother of his. Lol @ Palm. Oh God. Well at least she fell in love again I think... Anyways, looking forward to next week. I see what appears to be: |
 |
| The first half of this episode caused me so much pain I don't even-- It's one of my favorite scenes from the manga. I knew it was coming. I was not prepared. |
| >.> |
| Amazing episode, Killua's VA did such a good job! My boy Killua is finally free from Illumi grip, Illumi is a psyco brother but he does love his lil bro and was looking out for him in his own twisted way. I fangirl like crazy when Kil ripped Rammots head, madhouse did a good job but I gotta admit the manga panel of that moment was EPIC AF. Palm is thirsty as hell :p |

| Killua did not disappoint with his one hit kills. Didn't expect him to improve so much. |
| Jeez, Rammot went full on pedo, getting off to Killua's tears. Looks like Killua was always more than a match for Rammot, it was more of a fear of the unknown for him. Now that he's finally broken out of that, he seems much more confident and happier. Palm's brief time as lady like is over, she's back to being pure psycho :p. Looks like it's that cheetah ant's turn to be put in his place. |
 |
| That was wonderful, I've felt so much adoration for Killua, I can't even say how happy I am for him. I love that what spurred him on was Gon and that Gon didn't try pressing him into explaining matters. They have such an amazing friendship. Who else can you trust to kidnap you away from Palm? XD |
 |
| I bet Rammot imagined he'd be crushing Killua's severed head in his hand. Oh the irony. |
 |
| Badass episode for Kirrua. Dang Pam can go normal to ugly in a heartbeat. |

Not that it's bad, just a different interpretation I agree totally, the music insert for this episode bugged me, it felt way too off. The scene where Palm was chasing Killua was fine because that was more comedic but the scene where it was Killua vs Rammot... The first song was perfect for the atmosphere, then it changed to Zoldyck Family Theme which was alright but wasn't as good as the previous and then it changed to the cover of the third ED. Poor choice. At least they did a good job on the needle part, not as intense as the manga though. Also Palm, what a psycho lol. Quickly changing love interests to Knov and dumping Gon. |

| So two strong Hunters are struggling with a Chimera Ant Squad Leader? Jesus, I have no idea how they plan to take down a Royal Guard, let alone the King. If this wasn't Hunter x Hunter I'd be expecting some asspull nakama bullshit, thank god for Togashi. |

| nice to see Killua out of the curse or manipulation put on by his brother |
| I've been waiting for the moment Killua removed that needle! It finally happened. Glad that Palm finally calmed down... and Morau and Knuckle finally battles Cheetu! Wow. We are really progressing. |

If this wasn't Hunter x Hunter I'd be expecting some asspull nakama bullshit, thank god for Togashi. Woah, now. I think it's a bit too soon to assume they are struggling. I mean, all they did was throw some punches and shit. They didn't even use their Nen ablities. I'm sure they'll win this fight, and maybe even fairly easily. A pretty good episode, the stuff with Killua was again the highlight imo. I'm somewhat disappointed that Meruem and the Royal Guard didn't show up, though. |

| Gon sure knows how to impress a lady. The removal of the needle and Killuia got serious, ripped off Rammots head in an instant which was awesome. Just love Killuia and the need to protect Gon at all cost, very nice. It was funny when Palm was chasing after Killuia and Gon with a knife and her reaction towards Knov. Next week we get to see Kite. Great episode overall. Cannot wait for the next one. |

| this episode was very emotional.. the tears fell from my damn eyes when i saw killua did his best to protect his best friend,, |
 |
| thank god Killua finally broke free of his fear back to way i like him ! seriously i need to stop watching the previews lol |
 |
| drums now another week of mystery... |
| Not bad at all. 4.5 outa 5 |

yukoyanaleslie said: Though I gotta ask 'cos I don't read the manga (or I may have missed something while watching the ep) How did Killua suddenly realize there was a needle in his head and where? Was it because he resisted so much against the needle that he could suddenly feel its effect of manipulation? Illumi pretty much told him in episode 20 that during the hunter exam, it was what Illumi said ''Never fight an enemy you can't beat'' ''I drilled that into you'' Also Killua only hears Illumi, not Silva or Zeno and to top that off, Illumi is a manipulator who uses needels. Its normal to check your forehead first. Killua is smart, it makes sense that he figured out |

| Might just be me, but i felt the date with Palm was better in the manga than in the anime (no particular reason). Can't for the the big stuff to start happening. Really looking forward to seeing the royal guards and the king fight. |
| I don't know who is more scarier between the Ants and Palm ... Jokes aside, spectacular and touching Killua's fight, finally we'll see Kaito next week. |
 |
| Oh my! Palm is so awesome, haha! |
 |
| They really did a great job with this episode just as I had hoped. The music usage was a bit weird as usual, though. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Felt asspulled but looked cool. And goddamn finally that thing is gonna stop happening I wanted to punch the screen. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
| I have mixed feelings about it. Some parts are nicely done but it could have been much better, I blame part of it on the bad subs and music mismatch. |

| Holy crap! Killua just make a huge power up. Killua with Gon with nen have a little hard time with a non-nen rammot. Now Killua alone without even use his hatsu just totally RAPE him in seconds after he remove the needle. Probably it's on the same level with Knuckle and Shoot now. Palm it's just hilarious, rolf. Chettou it's just too fast that why Morel and Knuckle don't manage to hit him, but his punch seem pretty weak don't make damage at all. I don't they will have hard time to beat that ant at all, both are skilled hunter they will find a way to win. I'm curious how Gon will react when he see Kite (body) like that! |

| So much respect for Killua! the development was a little rushed imo but good nonetheless.Anyway I thought this episode was amazing. |
| Does anyone know the name of the track right at the beginning of the episode ? Just before the opening. Edit : Nvm I found it. Its called New Mutation. |

| Episode was good, but by the looks of the preview, next week's will be even better. |
| I really think Killua's power went down before it got back up. What Biscuit told him before and the pressure of 'protecting Gon no matter what' had a huge negative impact on him. It was a hard struggle and once he came out of it, he suddenly matured a lot. The training part was nevertheless necessary (notice how he takes little damage from Rammot). It's just that he had to get his body and mind in sync again. And yes, now he's pretty much on par with Knuckle etc. |

| Amazing episode. Really liked the focus on Killua. He just got even more badass this episode. 5/5 |
 |
| Isn't it obviously shown in the episode that everytime Killua refuses to listen to Illumi, the part where the needle was hurts? |
