HH131 Reaction

first time i see chanel on patreon without full reactions

Love your discussion, as usual, you understood what God has done and the consequences 🥲💔

the translation is so off man.. when pitou said gon's got as much power as the king, she was literally saying his fangs might sink into the king, and the whole show's got expressions like that, it's things like this that are so beautiful in togashi's work, shame the translators aren't appreciative. for this and a million other reasons, I recommend you check out the manga after finishing the anime, get the original, straight from the author experience.

The vision of Gon basically repeatedly pummeling a corpse. Pure tragedy. Something was lost here that wil always break my heart.

Finally!!

This isn't even the best episode of the arc. Two more candidates for best episode have yet to come.

early post???????? yall have fun!

If one of you assholes doesn't make that 199 into a 200 I'm gonna lose it.

Gon’s wind up sounds like Penderecki https://youtu.be/Dp3BlFZWJNA?si=XLg6tAKXCA8Xn-2R Welp, that’s that for Gon. His part has been played and it was a fantastic build up. Suicidal power against an enemy that can animate dead bodies probably wasn’t the best move, but things were how they were and it sucked for everyone involved. He was like a rose seed this arc, just waiting to bloom and mature into a self destructive fate.

Explaining the Nen part. Throughout the show. It has been said again and again that Gon and Killua are exceptional when it comes to potential. The two of them are 1 in 10 million, while Zushi is 1 in 100K, Wing said. Every adult who encountered both of them has said as much. Gon has traded all that potential for this power to be given to him. If you think about it, this restriction is greater than what Kurapika has done to boost his nen when fighting the Phantom Troupe. Gon's potential weighs more than Kurapika's restriction on only using some abilities on the troupe. It's like saying you gain all the money you will get in your entire lifetime but you can only spend it within an hour and it all goes away and you cannot gain any money anymore forever. I believe that that version of Gon can go toe to toe with the King before the blast but not after the blast. Adult Gon and Netero, I think would've defeated Meruem. Gon's Jajanken while being blasted with Netero's Zero hand would've done it. Just like in the episode where Meruem was asking for his name from the guards. Pouf's love is for the destiny and prestige of his title as the king and ruler of all species. Youpi's love isn't too complicated, he just doesn't know why he just loves the king and Pitou's love is more for the service of his feelings. The king's feelings is the important part to Pitou which is my favorite among the three's love for Meruem.

Something that doesn't get enough praise in this episode is just how spectacular the sound design is. The transformation music for Gon is harrowing, the disharmonious chords that play during his Jajanken are ear spitting, and every hit sounds like it's breaking both Pitou's body and Gon's. All of this is made ten times better/worse by the silence we get inbetween. It's in my top 3 episodes of anime for a reason. As always thank you both so much for letting me experience this episode like it was the first time waching it again. Hope Taylor makes you happy cry as much as these episodes made you sad cry <3

The tragedy in this episodeeeee

Omgggg thank youuuu 😭

I can't wait when they get to the episode, I'm not gonna say which episode but they are almost there and I think everyone who have seen this show already know exactly which epsisode I'm talking about. Lora and Milena, they are not gonna survive!!😂　

This is purely speculation, but I believe that Gon has the blood of the Dark Continent. (Just mentioning the name of the continent, so no spoilers for the rest of the content.) Thinking about Gon’s transformation, I believe that the true nature of his power, which cannot be fully explained by his condition that sacrifices his life, is related to the blood of the Dark Continent. In Hunter x Hunter, there are characters with extraordinary power, and I think their strength is related to having the blood of the Dark Continent. This is also speculation, but I believe that a characteristic of humans with the blood of the Dark Continent is having pitch-black eyes. (Gon's eyes also turn pitch-black when he loses himself in anger.)

I relate so much to the "I cannot understand the general audience" part of the discussion that Lola made when it comes to how some people reacted with excitement and joy to this episode. I have felt the same disappointment when another reaction channel watched this episode, and they were whooping, hollering and making a complete buffoonery of what was on their screen. There is not a single thing to feel good about. I mean you're witnessing a 14 year old being in so much pain and grief that he decides to sacrifice his own life and all the progress he made in YEARS just to kill the person who murdered the closest thing to a father figure he's ever had, and the first thing you do is laugh and act all hyped?? I swear sometimes it feels like they watched a different show.

crazy how we haven't even gotten to the best episode of the arc (in my opinion, of course)

Thank you for the double drop and have fun at the concert!

Thank you for the double drop, that was an awesome surprise 🙏❤️

This is the most shocking episode, not the main one, you react differently to it when you watch it a 2nd time. When people suggest you anime like Jujutsu Kaisen or other battle shonen, they should consider this main battle lasted half episode, 1 kick and some punches, it's very different from those anime

im cryinh

If you told me Gon fisted an already dead transgender cat back to death with his own severed arm back in episode 1, I’d have called the cops.

Classic alpha male, gets his feelings hurt and then gets real buff.

Waited so long for you two to see this!

The consequences won’t be explained in the anime clearly but from what people have told me gon permanently can’t use nen anymore after this fight. I’m not sure if he lost any of his actual life span though.

DOUBLE UPLOAD LET'S GOOO

I'll be honest, the resolution/ consequence of these episodes are 10 times better than these episodes themselves. Can't wait for the next arc.

Well here we are. One of the greatest anime episodes of all time. What’s really nuts is how many times you can say that, not only one show but for one ARC of a show! Killua screaming Gons name, and Gon looking back at him in that moment before the last strike…takes a lot to actually make me tear up but that gets me.

Gon X Gone

Pouf’s love feels more chaotic and tainted because of his own selfish desires and deluded perception of the king. Pitou’s love felt more genuine and human because it was selfless and open to the king’s authentic self which makes the scene sadder.

This episode is simply just too much, what do you expect me to do when three insanely good written characters show a peak situation where every single on of them is showing you exactly why they are insanely good written. ( i can not put this into words)

Thank you soooo much LM for 131. Not only is this my favorite episode of HxH, but it is one of the best episodes of ANY anime of ALL time. There is really nothing quite like it to be found anywhere else. I truly LOVE it.

This episode made Pitou my fav guard( until a certain episode iyk yk )

I present to you Gon Freecss one of the Seven Deadly Sins of Anime : Sin of Wrath. Gave up his life to execute this mission so no ounce of hope of pitou recovering from this fight.

Subtle, but Gon's repeated punches to Pitou's head are because Kite twice warned Gon that you HAVE to remove the head to kill an ant. "I finished the job like you taught me"

I think what the actual translation of what Pitou says is that Gon 'could sink his fans into the King' rather than her saying Gon could match the King. I feel like this translation always confuses people and throws the power scaling in a mess

Can't wait to see the reaction to 135. Arguably the best episode in the arc, although its got strong competition from 116 and 131.

when he lost an arm and said now hes the same as Kite :(

It's like you said it, it's the same as Kurapika when he fought with the spiders, in my mind Gon made a kind of pact when he says ''I don't care if this is the end, so I'll use everything''. so he is losing his life and his nen, that's why pitou says in this chapter that gon put aside his talent to obtain that power. It is very sad also that Killua arrived at the place to see that. also breaks my heart that Gon, what made him feel relieved was losing an arm as well as kite, as a way of redeeming himself. It's so horrible because I feel that although Gon was full of anger against Pitou, he also wanted to die and that's why he decided to give everything he had. the sweet boy who was gon now wanted to die, I CAN'T (I don't know if you noticed but when Killua runs towards Gon when Pitou's body attacks you can hear his footsteps very loudly, I love that they made that emphasis in the series, Killua was so determined to save Gon that he had nothing else in mind not even his assassin training that is so ingrained in him. THAT BROKE ME) and on the other hand the irony that pitou was being controlled by her puppet like she controlled kite, this episode really left me so shocked that even watching it now again leaves me with such a strange feeling. Thank you for uploading both episodes, have a nice week and have an incredible time at the concert <3 <3

"However much lifespan Gon lost, I lost the same." lmao

"Fun" Fact: In the entire anime, the scene at the end when Killua leaps in to save Gon from Pitou is the only time where we can hear Killua's footsteps. He was so focused on getting to Gon he didn't bother to silence his footsteps for the very first time.

in short -> Gon gave up all of his nen (present and future) for that little burst of immense power. he no longer has any nen

Someone must have unnecessarily spoiled them on how Emperor Time works from the current manga arc, so it got in the way of interpreting what's happening with Gon. That's really too bad.

I love you girls so much 😭🙏 thank you for this

the writing of this show omggg...so heartbreaking

NO WAY I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS THANK YOU! ♥️

The first time I saw this episode I legit stopped watching this arc and took a 3 week break lol at that point I did not care what happened to the rest of the characters lol without giving away too much because I feel this will be more clear later.. Gon basically made a Nen condition where he gave up his life spam and what’ve could have been years of training in order to obtain this power, like Lola mentioned is similar to Kurapika’s emperor time. Remember that Nen while it can give you immense power, most of time it comes with a big condition (s) or sacrifice from the user’s part. Also Netero was sort hinted at this when he said to the king that he shouldn’t underestimate the power of infinite potential of human evolution. I can’t wait for you guys to finish this arc and go the next one!

For me, Gon's last "punch" looking like a nuclear explosion is a sublime hint that Gon could in fact defeat the King, like Netero did with the Rose.

In my opinion, Gon did not *need* the transformation to beat Pitou. He could have fought her on equal footing without transforming, and could have beaten her, say 5 out of 10 times. By transforming, he became leagues above her so that it wasn’t even a battle it was just an execution. But I think the reason he transformed wasn’t just because of his anger at Pitou but also his anger at himself. I believe he wanted to die because Kite’s death solidified in his mind that he is not worthy to meet Ging, so he no longer had a reason to live. So he used “everything” in that moment not only to punish Pitou but also himself.

❤️❤️❤️

naaaaaaah ty <3

Enjoy the concert guys. Safe travels

Now that we're here let's do a small reminder on how the nen power multiplication works. If you set a condition, you can multiply your nen vs just adding to it. The tighter the constriction, the stronger the result. Kurapika's condition was he could only use his powers on very specific ppl (spiders) at the cost of his death if he used them vs others. Gon set a condition as well, the key line to me being 'i don't care if this is the end, so I'll use everything'.

THANK YOU GIRLS!!
