HH Episode 147 Reaction

If you want to see the history of the Spider Gang, watch manga chapters 395,396,397

By being the Penultimate episode the separations really hit hard because you're not expecting it.

"Why didn't I see the apology?" You did. It happened right before Killua's sister scolded him

It was certainly a wonderful journey, i loved following HxH with you, girls, thanks for this experience! Please, if you decide to read the manga after the anime, be sure to post your impressions somewhere, or even record your reactions, if possible! I will be more than happy to embark on this journey with you! And, i know that the ending of the anime leaves a very bitter taste for all of us, it hurts a lot. HOWEVER, there are still two movies that might temporarily satisfy our hunger for more HxH content. Yes, i know the movies don't have the same masterful quality that the anime does, but i still really like them, and it would be great to see you watching them. The 1st focuses a little on Kurapika and explains a little about his past, although it is very brief compared to the manga. Plus, the best thing both movies have to offer is the opportunity to see our boys together again, all four of them! The truth is, i don't want this journey to end, so i'm trying to extend it as long as possible! 🥺💞🤌

re: the episode. It's worth recalling that on whale island, Killua talked about how he didn't know what he wanted to do with his life, and decided he would travel with Gon until he figured it out. That smile Gon flashed at Killua, when he mentioned he was going to spend his life protecting his sister, was Gon realizing Killua found his purpose

Whoever mentioned Gon's Nen past this point to them spoiled something big, and I'm pretty annoyed to have found that out this way

I'm so excited for Haikyuu! please don't let this be the ultimate tease!

There are 2 movies that u can watch after the end of hxh, so u can enjoy them a bit more.

Please god everyone vote monster🤣

If you guys ever read the manga after this, you could continue this series as a podcast style with an episode weekly or monthly. There's 60 chapters out which could be another year of content if you do 1 chapter/week or 6 months if you do a volume a month. I'd definitely stay tuned in to hear what you think!!

waa hoo hoo :(

It reminds me of Vinland saga season 2 when they didn't show a scene of Thorfin reuniting with Leif

this episode was made just so that I'd want to crawl in a ball in my bed and cry until I'd feel depleted of any emotion. what was this. what. no. there's only one EPISODE LEFT WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE ME LIKE THAT

moja baba umrella danas i ja neznam sta da radim moja maika utisla za srbiju a ja nemogu da idem zato sto moram da radim, ovo ne treba da ide ovde ali ja neznam de da pricam nemam bas drustvo ovde i ocu da se hvalim gledao sam hunter hunter i sad mi je malo bolje hvala za vase video, (moje srpski nije bas dobro)

I feel bad for not grasping the depth of kills pain until now this was a way more tragic ending than I realized 😞

I completely understand being disapointed with not seeing the apology or the Alluka meeting. On my first time watching I felt exactly the same because this relationship is honestly my favourite one in all of fiction, as the level of purity and vulnerability on display are unmatched. HOWEVER I do sort of understand why he decided to not include it on the page, as we can heavily infer from what we got that Killua is still not fully over what Gon did, which imo is completely fair enough. I think this is classic Togashi writing where he puts realism above a flashy climax, as in real life friendships being damaged like this often result in the true extent of the hurt being brushed under the carpet. Again, I think it's more than fair for people to be disapointed with this but for me it continues to ground the story in a way that makes it hurt all the more. Not at all emotionally prepared for the last episode this week, doesn't feel real.

Please share your thoughts on the manga in whatever form you want to if you ever decide to read it! Your insight & theories make the series so much more fun to experience! Thank you for journey!

I knew their separation would come as a shock and hit you hard with all the mentions of Alluka joining the group and going with them. I love that the Greed Island ED became the theme of Gon and Killuas friendship. An instrumental of it plays when Killua rips out Illumis needle. I do wish a reunion and apology scene was here, but sadly this is how it all went down in the manga. One last episode 😭

I have seen HunterX several times, but now in this episode I realized something, and that is that Kulia somehow found a purpose or something to do with his life. If we go back to when Gon and Kilua visit Mito San, Gon commented that his mission is to find Gin and in the meantime Kilua would look for what his purpose is or what he would like to look for in his life. Already in this final episode Gon practically found his father and Killua his desire to be there and take care of his sister. so the journey for them ends.

Nos vemos en el 148

I think at this point, Gon and Killua themselves were simply not ready to unpack everything that happened. So they kept things superficially happy between them for this short time, not acknowledging that the hurt went deeper than they could deal with. I think that's why, as they turn away from each other, their expressions fall. They both know that damage was done, but it's not time yet for them to really break down their trauma and reconcile. I don't think there was a big apology or discussion between them that wasn't shown.

Togashi was throwing some far out ideas here regarding reincarnation. The Buddhism theme never left the room with this story.

Great reaction as usual, hope you guys give jujutsu kaisen a chance.

I think showing them reuniting and then immediately separating would have been too much really.

Honestly I wouldn't be suprised if you two could get into One Piece - I particularly enjoy the humor from the early episodes. There's also a lot of characters I think you guys would love.

Maybe it's just a young boy thing (i honestly have no idea) but this is just how goodbyes go with your friends. My best friend for years moved when we became freshman and the goodbye was just short and bittersweet like that. It was like that the other times when Leorio or Kurapika left as well. I think Togashi for intentionally made it feel this way if I had to guess.

I think it's fair to say these chapters were a little rushed, this was start of a long Hiatus for the manga that took 4 years due to the authors health problems. It's been pretty well chronicled but you can also see the decline in the art quality by that point. Even comparing the chapters 337-339 that were used for these last episodes to 340 onward that came 4 years later and the brilliant drawings in the dark continent arc that follows which are night and day. It was/is difficult for Togashi to even sit in a chair to draw extensively and at this point he was likely at his lowest mental and physical health-wise.

Shout out to that whale island episode where Killua didn't know what he wanted to do in life. Now he has found it thru Alluka

Man, the glances Gon and Killua exchange in the alley is the bit that hits me the hardest. It’s such a subtle moment but it conveys so much emotion. It really just feels like two people who are aware that their paths are no longer intersecting, and they have to go their own ways. To me it feels like after everything they went through in the chimera ant arc, they can’t really go back to the ways things were. It’s not spoken in dialogue, but I definitely feel it in that moment.

The show really never feels like it’s ending for me until we get to this episode. The ending montage was just perfect and no one is gonna be able to resist crying to it. Tbh i never thought to hard on the killua and gon reunion being rushed since I’m always an emotional wreck by the time I get to this episode but i do wonder now if the anime cut out material from the manga of their reunion or if it’s the exact same.

The ending scene where they split with the greed island song was good and a decent tribute to their relationship, but everything before that felt very rushed and seems like a huge opportunity missed in terms of exploring any real fallout from the stuff that happened in the CA arc. It's just missing so much texture and detail and I know they're not even part of the current manga arc so i guess it's basically just hanging there.

Killua in Episode 37: "There's nothing I really want to do... I'll help you look for your dad until I discover what I want to do!" This separation was foreshadowed for a long time, Killua finally found his higher purpose in Alluka.

God I've been waiting a long time for this. I always cry buckets when rewatching this scene, and I remember watching it for the very first time years ago and being as frustrated as Milena and Lola. It seemed so absurd and unfair that Gon and Killua had to separate so abruptly after spending so many adventures and years of their lives together. Watching it now, as much as it hurts, I kinda understand what Togashi was trying to do by making them split up. Aside from the fact that Illumi is on the hunt for Alluka and Gon - as much as it pains me to say this- would kinda end up being more like dead weight (since he isn't able to use Nen anymore) for Killua and her, I think it also symbolises how Killua has finally found a purpose in his life. Moreover, over the course of the Chimera Ant Arc I think he came to the realisation that friendship isn't a debt that has to be repaid, and you can see this in his interactions with Ikalgo. He always felt like he owed Gon so much just from the fact he befriended him, when he felt so unlovable and worthless. To be honest, I think he just realised that it's OKAY to grow as a person and find his own way into the world without basing his entire self worth on Gon and how useful he can be to him. They will always love each other and be friends, they just needed to go their own separate ways to find out who they are without each other and eventually reunite stronger than ever!! Personally, I find it extremely beautiful and sad at the same time. PS : If there's one thing I didn't really understand about this episode is why Togashi decided to completely remove the apology scene. It did feel a bit rushed, and it was a scene that I was personally anticipating a lot, knowing how much hurt Killua was carrying. I wish they hadn't reduced it to a "well you know you already apologised or whatever" type of thing, it kinda diminished the emotional impact of their reunion tbh.

always kills me whenever gon says “this is bad, if we stay here any longer…” they know that if they prolong this, they won’t be able to leave each other’s sides and do the things they need to do. they’re both hurting but they know they have to go their separate ways and grow as individuals 💔

Also, if Haikyuu ends up winning the poll, I was wondering how everyone feels about them watching the dubbed instead of the subbed version? I would usually prefer subbed but Haikyuu can often have multiple conversations happening at once, and you'll have dialogue at the top and important game explanations at the bottom. The comedy can be very quick too, so if they're busy reading subs and trying to understand explanations it might make it harder for them to enjoy. Plus, the dub has it's own charm and humour.

It feels like yesterday when you guys were so excited to meet Killua! The ending is so bittersweet :(

I agree that this episode is not as satisfying as it could be for Gon and Killua. I don't think either of them were really ready to deal with what happened during the Chimera Ant Arc and so they just kinda brush it off. I'm hoping that somewhere along the line there's a reunion between them in the manga where they properly mend their relationship. It's one of the many things with this show that I'm not entirely sure how to feel about given that I don't know where the story is going in the manga.

Kinda funny that Killua never once mentioned Kalluto, always wondered what Killua thinks of him

in a way i feel the brevity of gon and killua’s adventure makes their friendship more beautiful, that in such a short time they changed each other forever. maybe they were 2 ships passing in the night or maybe they’re fated to meet again, either way it was special

Yeah you should definitely start to read the manga, for a full immersion together with Kurapika, the best character 😌😌😌😌😌

Here's a little tribute I made to celebrate the longest journey this channel has seen so far! https://i.imgur.com/j6ubYkX.png I got inspired by the final picture in the end credits 😄

I don’t think I’ve ever been more emotional watching a anime than watching that ending montage. Killua and Gon are just the two best boys in any show. I wish we got a thousand episodes of just filler between them.

There's a couple pieces of information I think you guys would like to know here at the end. For ep 147, a translation thing. The entire show, Gon calls Killua his best friend using the word Tomodachi (Special/Close Friend). But at the end of 147, when he says "We'll always be friends" he uses the word Nakama (Co-worker, teammate, comrade, acquaintance). Togashi is very particular about the words he uses so this was definitely intentional on having Gon refer to Killua this way before they go their separate ways. I won't go further on what it means because I'm more curious about your thoughts on how their relationship ends up. -- This one is after 148. In the Manga, Gon has a short conversation that's essentially his final thoughts about Ging that I know you girls might want to read. It has no spoilers for the later manga story.

Is it too late to request for a re-react of Hunter x Hunter lol I don’t want this to end…

Good thumbnail choice. I expected to be this scene :)

HAHAHA MY TIMING WAS PERFECT HERE WE GO 😭

Time for tears

I'M GONNA CRY
