Well we never see him learn about it but there are a few time gaps where he could have, I guess. It annoys me how much it bugs me... He could have learned during the 3 months Gon wasn't allowed to use Nen, when Gon's Nen was sealed by Knuckle...forgot the other one and I guess maybe he thought that Zeno uses explosives? He could have described it to him that way same with Silva's abilitiy, I find it hard to believe that he'd never learn or see the after affect of one of their assassinations. Is it shown who Zeno was talking to about Netero in the manga? Because if not I'd assume Killua, he is fond of Killua and is a grandpa probably tells him stories about stuff, so that could have happened at the two times I mentioned. Though the first time he'd have a lot less of a reason to talk about Netero other than the realization as to why Netero's leg was like steel. Anyway, latest episode was awesome. I don't like that just the stairs smashing did so much since they never got directly hit by the arm but whatever still awesome. I'll be surprised if Shoot survives this... Morel I see dying, Pouf might go nuts here he's relatively calm now but could easily snap. Killua helping Ikalgo was pretty cool, a little dragged out but obviously they wanted to end with Gon looking crazy and yeah Gon looks crayyyzeee. This makes Gon much cooler than your average shounen protagonist imo, he is generic like the rest but this darkness is cool to see, you get mains desperate for revenge a load but it's rare to see them looking like such a...monster. Be interesting to see what he does though because Komugi is there being healed, will he wait for Pitou to heal her or not give a s***? I doubt he'll wait for Killua either. Picturing Killua flying through the air panicking but Gon standing waiting for Pitou when he lands. Wonder if what Kite thought about will come in to play, how will Gon feel when he sees an Ant care for a comrade? |

So...with Netero's voice actor dying how what do you think they're going to do? Not sure if he finished his voice role for the series but I doubt it. He has a fairly unique voice so how are they finding someone to replace him... manga spoiler Hopefully it won't sound too different. Mortality is so lame. |

This episode was great, but it was dragged so much. The tease at the end gave me goosebumps. Why did the green guy run away from Shoot and Knuckle. I bet they have more trouble than the others. Smoky Jail is inaccessible, Gon and Killua obviously don't need help. Anyway, good episode. I think they will still drag next week's episode. |

This episode advanced the plot by about 30 seconds. The rest was a waste of time. I really couldn't give two f***s about Wolfin. They were stretching for the sake of stretching. It was annoying and I feel like I wasted 20 minutes of my life. |

Seen this coming as soon as it started was obvious they'd want to stretch it out for another evil look from Gon at the end. I don't mind it really I just hope that the main fights live up to the build up. Not sure why Meleoron didn't just help Shoot, is he really going to help Gon and Killua beat Pitou? There's no way he could find an opening to make one disappear so they can attack while invisible he'll get massacred. Judging by the end and the promo it looks like Gon doesn't give a f*** that Komugi is there, I like that. Guessing Killua is going to stop him from attacking right now and rescue his humanity before he really does get lost in the darkness. Wonder how they'll deal with Youpi... I know some of what happens but lord knows how Knuckle is going to survive him long enough for APR to do any notable damage. Guess it's ok if Knuckle dies but I hope Shoot doesn't if that's the case. It's cool how he was introduced as a character for you to dislike initially, for him to win your respect now, for me he definitely has, I still like Knuckle more but only really because Kuwabara is a favourite from Yu Yu Hakusho. Knuckle just seems more of an acceptable loss. Perhaps he'll die and it will somehow be Gon's fault teaching him the lesson that he can't let anger fuel his actions because it will only lead to more loss. |

This is better actually. The Welfin/Ikalgo stuff was sort of spliced with other events in the manga, doing it in one episode instead, while making that single episode kind of boring, means that when we get to the stuff we want to see, there'll be less interruption. Not a bad way to do it really, they can't cut it out because of the results of it but I support the change they made from the manga. |

This episode was great. Gon's performance was top class and really showed off the level of character depth that this anime has in it. I'd still like to see a bit more progression next episode. But this one was fair enough since it was about showing Gon's pain. Do they really have to spend 3 minutes recounting what happened in the previous episode and then have a 2:30 minute long theme song? Then you get about two minutes of camera panning and characters stood staring at each other before a word is even said. Edited by Pelador, Feb 11 2014, 10:55 PM.

Yeah I think they're desperately stretching out the scenes in the hope that the manga continues... That whole scene with Ikalgo and Killua passing each other in the corridor was like a few panels in the manga but a few minutes in the anime... As for the episode, awesome at the end I didn't even realize it had been 20 minutes  Gon is so much better a protagonist than most. I love how he wasn't all "fight me at your full power!" he was just going to destroy Pitou and probably Komugi along with her. It's cool how even his aura and Jajanken have hints of black in them right now. Killua's dad will be in the next episode, wonder what he'll do, back in the Yorknew Arc everything seemed fairly nerfed since Nen was only really just introduced, wonder if we'll see how strong he actually is. Out of Gon and Killua not sure who to feel more sorry for right now. Hoping that we'll see at least one Royal Guard taken out before the King vs Netero although I can't imagine they'll have all the voice acting work done for that with Ichiro's passing. |

Brilliantly done, even better than I imagined. Gon's voice actor absolutely killed it. This is the episode that shows why I feel sympathy for Killua. He always just goes along with whatever Gon wants (in the last arc Gon even says that if he complains enough Killua will just do what he wants) and this shows the darker side of that. He just stands there as Gon just insults him and he takes it, it's pretty obvious it hurt him quite a lot as well (remember, Gon is his only real friend). Poor kid. But Jesus Gon. If Killua wasn't there he'd have killed Pitou and Komugi both, that's pretty f***ed up. He doesn't value Komugi's life at all. |

He was blinded by rage and pain so he wasn't able to think about anyone else. We've all been there surely? When we are so angry, only the thing that we are angry about matters. Everything and everyone else can go f*** themselves because all I can see is red right now and I can't f***ing calm down. I haven't seen many animes use emotion in this way and that makes it brilliant. You could try to argue Dragonball attempted it a few times. Mostly with both of Krillin's deaths. But Goku never seemed to stay very angry for long. Plus I don't think any of the voice actors injected as much fury into the part as Gon's actor did in this episode. |

It's understandable to an extent but not everyone would get in to such a rage where they'd have such a reckless disregard for an innocent life. I'm not saying that's a bad thing either. Gon's still a child really, kind of immature. He isn't a perfect character and that's what I find great about him. Gon has pretty much lost all sense of perspective. Even in other series of this demographic where the main character has some rage boost, it's just against some douchebag villain they can beat the s*** out of, they don't go down a path as dark as this. This was probably my favourite part of the episode: Just the raw emotion in Gon's voice at the very start of that clip. Anger, desperation, sadness. Loved it. Also I wanted to say that there is one little change I wish they hadn't made and it's Killua's reaction to what Gon says. He reacts mostly the same way but in the manga you see his face properly and it's just devastating  Edited by Copy_Ninja, Feb 12 2014, 01:28 PM.

Yeah it ties in with Zeno and Netero refraining from killing the King when he held Komugi with care, were they to attack "their cause would be lost" Gon was 100% ready to be as much of a monster as he views the Ants to be just out of rage. I loved when his eyes kind of glazed over, they were very like Illumi's just his were in a swirl that was a brilliant detail. |

This episode is brilliant, and is probably one of the best episodes in the arc so far. Gon's rage was done in a brilliant way. It's just amazing. I think Killua's father might do something too. Either help defeating the other two Royal Guards, or finish the rest of the ants. Or he won't do anything really and just talk with Zeno or something. Poor Gon. Kite's probably dead, but if Pitou is capable of healing him, and restoring him back to life, what would happen then? |
