Souunds like a 2-chapter episode. My speculation was right this time
In this case, next ep. should have at least three, also judging from the title.

It's Doctor BLYTHE! And she's got purple hair. o.o

I hope so, three chapter episodes are tasty. What's the title of the next episode? :o
It usually says in the previews.

2 things I'd like to comment on
First, am I the only one getting a similar vibe of Scheherazade's tale in One Thousand and One Nights on the whole King/Komugi story? A tale where the King kept this girl alive because of her captivating stories always leaving at a cliffhanger at the end of the day so he spares her life for the next day to finish the story. At the end the King fell in love and married her. So not quite sure it's gonna end up like that but I'm curious whether Togashi had some inspiration to it.

Second, I don't think many people realized this but I think this is the first time where the Meruem the King himself was "commanded" (forced) by a someone especially a human at that. Simply amazing development here.

p.s. I also wonder if Togashi used to play Metal Gear Solid back in the day cuz that ridiculous grass suit reminded a lot of Snake infiltrating around in a box hahaha

Writing level over 9000!

Another week and another great episode of Hunter x Hunter, Madhouse did a great job of animating one of my favorite sequences in this arc. Also, I'm surprised that they decided to cover 2 chapters this episode, I guess they just wanted to flesh out this part of the arc. That aside, seeing the amazing job Madhouse has done so far together with their work on Kaiji continues to remind me that they truly are the right studio for this anime (and this arc in particular). I really REALLY can't wait for the palace invasion, it's going to be 20+ straight episodes of godly writing and unending fangasms.


You got me all excited!!! Please don't spoil, please don't spoil aaaaaaaaa I can't wait :P.

Great stuff, the scenes between Mereum and Komugi really add alot to an. Already solid arc. I too was worried for Knov at the end there, the narrator saying it's their best and only chance Roget really increased the tension.

It's awesome that this show can be so awesome without the main characters.

Great episode. Komugi has such a strong resolve when she bet her life if she lost even a single Gungi match.
Didn't expect the King to rip off his own arm.
Pitou's Doctor Blyte nen abilty is pretty cool. It can even recreate flesh.
Both Knov and Palm are going to infiltrate the palace.
Cannot wait for next week. Looks like Knov is going to show off another one of his abilities.

Another great set of scenes with the King and Komugi, I can't get enough of them.
There is also so much tension building up...

One of my favorite things about this series is the narration. The narrators voice acting coveys the suspense and tension very well.

I never understood how Japanese voice acting is very sophisticated and full of nuance yet when it comes to film acting, most modern Japanese actors overact and exaggerate. Why is there such a disparity in the quality of the performances between Japanese voice acting and regular Japanese acting?

THIS EPISODE SUCKED IT WAS GARBAGE HUNTER X HUNTER SUCKS!!!

Lol jp, Did anybody else see that? The fucking king ripped his arm off! And Neferpitou is so cute too bad Gon wants to kill her. She reminds me of Black Hanekawa a little bit. And what a creepy power she has I mean what the fuck was that thing? If I saw somthing like that at the age of 12 I would so totally get nightmares. And the "real" prime minister is such a pervert. I feel sorry for those women.


Neferoitou is actually male, or so I am told...

Liking these matches between the King and girl, nice seeing the King so disgruntled like that lol.


They say its only in the manga. Madhouse apparently made her female in the anime. It is still disputed, but the majority of the anime fans considers it as a she.

Well Madhouse didn't exactly say it is a she. He/She has not shown any outright evidence of having boobs at all. I think they thought it would be funny to add a bust so then people can go crazy debating over it forever and ever. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!


Actually the manga never stated what Gender Pitou had. The anime has with Colt and Peggy calling her a girl. Added on Pitou very clearly has Breasts in the anime.


Well Neferpitou has breast or visible bulges in her shirt so My mind automatically registers it as female. And I doubt it's a freaking Tranny-sub-human-insect-cat, if thats the case I think I'm going to be sick.

Just as usual, another brilliant Hunter X Hunter episode

Character wise, it was perfect, the dialogue and the Gungi matches between Meruem and Komugi was great character development for the King and also for Komugi when we learn a little about her and how dedicated she is to Gungi, she is now, along with the King, one of my favourite anime characters. I've read the manga and I'm starting to get the feels already

Inb4 "HaremXHarem", or "My little Gungi champion can't be this constipated!".

Synopsis: Meruem has it all: he's handsome, rich, powerful, lives in a palace and has a cute cat girl childhood friend as a servant. There's only one problem - he's still a virgin! His cold heart won't allow any girls near him, and he lives as a recluse, spending day after day playing games in his room. One day, however, a girl ends up in his house - she's goofy and apparently unable to life by herself, yet incredibly skilled at games. Will Meruem finally start feeling something for someone other than himself? And will he be able to really live out his romance? Part "The world god only knows", part "The pet girl of Sakurasou", this harem romcom will make you squeal for the moeness!

They have finally shown Bizef. The infiltration is getting near! Can't wait.

Seeing Knov infiltrate the castle is quite scary yet exciting at the same time.

Also, the King sure is so humiliated by Komugi.

But is the first time that Meruem accepted do a thing that doesn't want. I liked it. =D


Still those powers are really creative, wouldn't actually say that they look like in One Piece. Maybe a a little

I've got a hunch from the preview and reading further that 106 will be another 2 chapters. But, on the bright side, it'll contain filler instead of some needless dragging. It might even cliffhang by the beginning of 253.

What do you mean by that? By filler do you mean elaborating on some scenes such as Knov investigating the palace? And by "needless dragging" are you referring to the prolonged scenes with no talking that are prevalent in two chapter episodes?

If what you say happens to be the case, then that strengthens my confusion regarding the pacing recently. HxH is airing in a midnight time slot, even if they did save up some money for this arc (as you and Dangger theorized in the other thread), it would still be in the studio's best interest to cover as much ground as possible while maintaining quality storytelling. The palace invasion is right around the corner so if they want to blow their savings, it’s best that they blow it then. If your theory is correct and Madhouse has saved money for this arc then I hope they saved enough. The anime has enough material to last three more cours (that are heavily packed with action). If Madhouse is lacking funds to maintain this level of animation quality in the long run, then the most logical path of action would be to animate three chapters per episode if possible. I still have no idea as to why MH chose to cover two chapters during episodes 103 and 105 despite having every reason to adapt three. Even if the animation has remained more or less the same after the rotation, I'm worried that they might not have enough gas in the tank to last 25-40 more episodes at current production values.

Even if two chapter episodes are good (anything below 2 is bad), three chapter episodes are just so much better, especially for this part of the arc where the main characters are absent from the story. Taking a detour from the main cast is a good thing to do from a writing standpoint, especially after what happened to Killua but these detours can’t be too long. If they decide to go two chapters for the next two episodes then that make it 4 episodes without any of the main cast.

You might be right though, the preview doesn't have anything from 253 so the only thing going for speculations of the next episode covering three chapters would be the title.

About the title..
