All the talk near the end was a little confusing but it was cool when they found all the pieces admitting a Nen aura.

I love the parts in this series where Gon actually gets lucky... Ahem. Anyway - I agree that there was a looot of talking in this episode, though that wasn't necessarily bad. Still enjoyed it all.

Auction-based episode. Was very in depth, which was nice.

Zeppile is pretty cool, I like him. :)

This is the one thing that makes Gon a standout in the shounen world of MCs, though I dare say even Gon could not avoid being bitten by the shounen curse of being a relatively uninteresting character, mc or not in a shounen series.

This sure was a fun episode, a bit of a different atmosphere than the previous episodes. Quite liked this more relaxed atmosphere! Let's see what's next.

It's nice to focus on the cheerful life of Gon, Killua, and Leorio in their quest to earn enough money to buy Greed Island.

Did anyone else spot Killua's fat brother in front of the restaurant?

Very true. Also, Gon is like super silly in this episode. He even admires the person trying to lower the price and yet, because of his inquisitiveness, there may be auctioneers tomorrow.

This was more of a light fun episode, than the dark theme in the previous episodes. And they even went into depth with the appraisal stuff. This is becoming more informative.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Seems like they found a new friend and he probably won't even betray them at some point. Only 4 episodes left now, wonder how they will finish this season.

vdjksadfnsd too much dialogue this episode, and since the studio clearly didn't want it to last, they made the speaking incredibly fast... resulting in the subtitles being incredibly fast. The ending was nice and seems like the next episode will be good though!

I frickin LOVED this episode and clearly most others did too save for a few. I personally have a deep love for antiques, so this atmosphere in particular appealed to me. It was a lot of fun taking a break from fighting and watching the main characters shop around and explore the auction. And how could you complain about the dialogue? That's what this show is about! Not brute force, but critical thinking! HxH shines in its ability to show real debates and puzzles and reasoning. It's "mind candy."

Furthermore, I LOVE the Zepile character. It's refreshing seeing a brand new character with near zero mischief. He's kind, knowledgeable, and has no problem aiding a couple of kids in their endeavors, or humoring them with their little question game. I'm assuming he bought them their ice cream as well. But damn what a nice guy.

I see why Nen is necessary in this show but the outrageous shonen aspects of it were getting on my nerves Again, I liked the discussion in this episode, like when we got to learn about auction fraud, or when they had to argue with the bald guy. The tactics in this episode remind me of the earlier episodes when it was all about psychological warfare... when the four MC's had one-on-one's in the "Trick Tower."

Also, did anyone else notice:
John Lennon is in this episode...

The side profile, the outfit, everything.
And if you think this is a coincidence, then at least bear in mind that this is Yorknew City we're talking about -- a parody of New York City which Lennon was a famous resident in (and the place he died).

The episode was kind of slow but ok. Zepile introduced and if I don’t remember wrong, that thing about using another entrance to the statue.

Actually entertaining episode.
Honestly expected the appraiser guy to be one of the scammers themselves but turns out he's really interested in helping them.
