I didn't realize pitou was crying the first time I watched hunter, that adds a layer onto things
Pitou is seriously one of my favorite characters, her development can get overshadowed by other prominent characters in this arc but her subtle growth is honestly incredible.
One of the advantages of all the slow motion is that the tension is ramped and maintained throughout. I also loved Youpi's tension break for that reason. Everyone in the palace probably heard the staircase exploding and it sorta ties everyone together that way. Gon's instincts are just freakishly fast. It's insane. He's also got this whole Capt Ahab thing going on, which I started to visualize this time around. Even raised on a place called Whale Island, funnily enough.
The part where Netero and Zeno stood by and waited for the King to help Komogi🥲
I've been waiting for this episode and it did not disappoint
LM THE GOAT
52 minute reactions and we haven't even HIT the real shit. certain episodes are going to get an hour and a half to 2 hours. Chimera Ant arc and LM reactions, let's go!
The rest of this arc from here is truly some of the greatest story telling I’ve ever encountered. Togashi is a legend. You girls are really in for a treat with the rest of this show!
Gon has to be 13 by this point because he was 12 during the hunter exam and they only have the exam once a year. So when Killua went to retake the exam that means Gon has to be 13 by now. My head canon is that he says he's 12 because he doesn't remember his birthday without Mito bringing him a cake with candles on it.
even if it contradicts the timeline of the anime (not of the manga) Gon is still 12, it is said by the narrator after the date with Palm and it's confirmed by another character in the future. (in the manga both Gon and Killua are 11 when they take the exam, Gon says "almost 12" and Killua thinks "me too")
When pitou started crying that was the king's emotions expressed through her
Or was it being emotionally overwhelmed/touched at being told the King counts on Pitou? The scene is open to interpretation.
Always so cool how the build this attack on the ants up so much only to take the wind out of it with this episode <3
I love hearing you both discuss and dissect aspects of these episodes. Taking the time to hold a discussion and review the finer details of the episode REALLY makes the content so enjoyable.
Gon is on a different level, normally they show him stupid & his Brian heat , But when it comes to combat, he is a man on a mission.
I would go so far as to say Brian heat is the most defining aspect of Gon's character.
My Headcanon It has been expressed time and time again that the guards no. 1 priority is to protect the king, sometimes even trying to bargain with Meruem at the risk of their lives. (Pouf during severed arm episode and Pitou's En irritating the king) But on this episode, the greatest threats to the king are a few feet away from him and Pitou doesn't even bother to argue with the King's command to heal Kumogi probably because of the Nen she felt while jumping to Kumogi's room. It was plain to read and Pitou understood with tears in her eyes. There was no arguing, Kumogi was more important than her protecting the King at that moment. It was beautiful.
The King walking in between them without them realizing (until it was too late) shows that the King could have killed them instantly and that he is far more capable and powerful than the two had expected. The King could achieve this because his aura was so calm (no malice or murderous intent) as you two have said. If there was any malice in his aura the older gentlemen would have detected it and would have been more ready to defend themselves.
Also because he is the KING, and has his pride as the king. He would never cheap shot an opponent but face them head on at their best
When LM say "I don't know what's happening", it's just a translation to "Something incredible is happening but I have no words" 😊
Has always been odd that Killua can recognize and name Dragon Dive as Zeno's ability when they haven't seen each other since the boys got Killua back from the Zoldyck Estate. Killua only got his pores, including the ones in his eyes, opened and learned about Nen at Heavens Arena afterwards. Zeno isn't conjuring physical arrows, it's just his dragon shaped aura splitting off into pieces, so it wouldn't have been visible to a non-Nen user when Killua was younger, even if he had ever been present at a time where Zeno used it for something.
You know what now that you mentioned it, you are right.. how is Killua able to recognize Dragon Dive..maybe this is one of those plot holes in the story or maybe it’s explained in the manga.
lola saying she would be a shield for the king really shows me that we are truly one in the same with our priorities lmao
When I first watched hxh I didn't get why Netero wouldn't warn his people about the dragon dive, but now I think it's in line with his character. He was probably like "if they're good at their jobs they'll deal with it"
With all the things that happen during this arc i had forgotten how much the 'heal komugi' scene meant to me when i first watched it. It's great to see it again through their eyes :')
you guys yelling at the narrator to explain more was so real loll
These episodes are truly breathtaking
Narrator is definitely one of the best parts of the arc.
adds to the intensity
These next series of episodes I believe are storytelling at its best making HxH a masterpiece in the process
this is a long discussion thank gosh lol so excited to watch rn!!
Ngl some people love the commentator but I do find him annoying sometimes and this episode definitely was of those times where I found him annoying. I get he needs to feed some information to the audience but jeez.. this is one of my main criticisms moving forward with this arc.
Dawg I just my opinion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
excited to watch, ty!
Been waiting too long for your reactions to the "Heal Komugi" scene. Didn't disappoint one bit
Here we go
