sayami said: Arcanus said: Indeed, I loved that scene xDHisoka trying to contain his laughter was hilarious... xD probably one of the best parts also for some reason the chairman/prez guy reminded me a lot of yamamato from bleach, with his looks and that old man stare he has. |
| Hisoka is a god :P |
| The fighting, the animation, Gon taking a beating, Hisoka laughing, I loved everything about this episode. |
| Baldy got angry in the end. Anyway, Hisoka laughing was an interesting sight to see. |
| Such a good episode. The pacing was so well done, and the suspense build-up was incredible. But Gon won't die. The show isn't half way done yet! :D |
| The animation was great in this! I see why the Gon + Hanzo match-up here is considered the superior of the two adaptations. |
HiNT74 said: Stupid episode unfortunately I agree. If it wasn't for the plot shield Hanzo could have just sliced his ears and nose off and Gon would have spent rest of his life regretting his idiocy. |
| Gon is a stubborn little badass isn't he? |

I completely understand why you see it that way. However, in the 2011 version, especially in this version, they made great pains to show that Hanzo is in fact a softie despite his harsh upbringing. For example, it was mentioned (more explicitly in the 2011) that Hanzo made a clean break of Gon's arm. The reason was to not only prevent disabling Gon for life but also even making his arm stronger when it heals. You also forget that Hanzo could easily have just (next match) had his go at Pokkle who had already tried and failed the hunter exam numerous times and was noticebly weaking than Hanzo the rookie. |

| I love Hisoka just laughing in the background; even he isn't resistant to Gon's pace. xD Rosny said: Kuruwin said: I agree.

However, in the 2011 version, especially in this version, they made great pains to show that Hanzo is in fact a softie despite his harsh upbringing. Agreed. Even though it's not told explicitly, it's shown through his interactions. Hanzo is an actual nice guy who hasn't done anything cruel nor shown that side at all during the Exam; it's weird how people would think he would suddenly maim Gon to win. Not even taking into the account that Kuruwin is assuming Gon would give up then. |
| Hohoho that cliffhanger! Pretty damn impressive, Gon is quite stubborn... but I do really wonder who'll win this match! |
| There is this awesome fight between Gon and Hanzo but I've got nothing to say for that except that it's a good fight! Meanwhile, Hisoka's laughing in the background become the center of attraction XD |
| People really only watch this show for Hisoka, don't they? He had like 10 seconds of screentime and half the comments are about him... Gon is an idiot, if his opponent didn't care so much he would be disabled now. |
| This is fucking stupid. Hanzo could torture this little shit for hours but instead he is just making fool of himself. |

| Well, as Satotz said, there’re many reasons why they’re where they’re. Hanzo has a great physical ability, strength, speed, agility, and surely, he has a loose mouth, but he’s impressing. Gon, on the other side, he’s younger, he’s a child surprising everyone with his problem solving abilities and his tendence to make allies, also, his attachment to nature and innocence gave him the points to be there. |
| Fantastic animation at the start. Overall a very brutal episode, Hanzo really wanting Gon to just give up rather than inflicting permanent damage. Interesting to see the impact Gon has on all the other people in that room though, his determination is what makes people attract to him. |
