Didn't expect any less from Team team Tomoko Mori. The facial expressions were animated very well. Can't wait for the next episode.

Can someone explain to me how Gon and Killua got so strong?

Because it feels so stupid to me right now. Gon because of rage (blabla) and Killua by removing a needle (fear). WTF???

I really loved this episode. When Gon saw Kite...I felt so sad for him.

I loved how when Gon was about to punch that guy, everyone was just so damn scared, and I just wanted Killua to do something, and thank god he did. Gon is so cute aftewards though, "I really was about to kill you" huh....smiles and everything.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

It's that way if you forgot that they were training for the last 35 episodes. In the recent 2 episodes however, Killua's case was because of the needle his brother put on him, he thinks his enemy is powerful and he starts to try to run, thanks to the needle. Killua was strong to begin with, but the needle was holding down his potential. (He didn't have much problems with Rammot before his 2nd training, did he? I'm pretty sure the lightning attack struck Rammot in his grounds before Colt saved his ass) Gon is strong only with raw power, he can still do nothing else. HxH is not only all about RAW power, Gon lost against Knuckle because of Knuckle's ability of taking away nen. If you remember, Gon's attack made Knuckle lose consciousness the first time.

Gon hasn't used his Nen for 30 days. It's just pent up rage at this point.

Killua is an assassin. It's not that he's gotten stronger, it's just that he can take more risks now. An assassin's job isn't to have a great show of power in a manly one on one fight, it's simply to kill. Your opponent makes one mistake or underestimates you for one moment and it's over for them thanks to the various killing techniques he's mastered since birth.

Solid, Gon focused episode. I still doubt he and Killua can be Neferpitou, though even with Gon's rage and Killua's removing the needle. Still, we'll have to see where this goes. Maybe Killua will whip up another plan or something. Should still be great, though.

What worries me is the Narrator calling this the final battle? I mean, huh? Where is all this great characterization I keep hearing Meruem gets? Well, I get the feeling that things will not go as planned for the Hunters. But, I would be lying if I didn't have a quick initial feeling of "what the fuck?" after hearing that.

This episode done really well. I really want to get his revenge. It looks like the final battle is coming. I have a feeling that the king and his royal guardian aren't going down any time soon though.

Gon and Killua had some training with Biscuit remember? Afterwards, although they lost to Knuckle and Shoot, they still put up some tough fight. Gon's fighting spirit fueled by vengeance for Kite and Killua's battle prowess being limitless (previously contained by Illumi's implanted needle) helps even further.

Well, 10 days in anime can happen really slow.

I mean, in other animes we have dozens of episodes with a tournament happening in just one day or so.

Here there are still 10 days until the final battle and then the actual final battle. That should mean enough material for another 20 episodes at least.

Gon snappin'. The animation was spot-on. I applaud you, Madhouse.
Gon is punishing himself. It's his only ticket to redemption. lol

Anyhow, I only watched Gon's scene with Kite. And his overwhelming bloodlust over Pitou when he was going to blast Morau to outerspace.

This episode was pure win. I wasn't impressed by the fight with the Speed King( sounds like some Need for Speed character lol) but everything else was badass. I just upped my grade from 8 to 9 for that moment where Gon goes BA. I know that he wants to get revenge but he really didn't get that much stronger (even tho the rage powers up his JaJanken). He wasn't training ( as far as we know ) and he didn't get any other moves ( once again,that we know about). At his current state he couldn't even touch Pitou. He is with Killua but he said that he wanted her all to himself ( if you know what I mean).

Well I wouldn't say that too quickly just yet. The 1 month ren training must have been a huge increase in their strength. Gon increased his experience in his fights against Knuckle which also improved his speed. Then another month for Gon to make himself stronger physically like lifting weights and all (since that does matter as well) and like what Morel said, he's unpredictable and only fights seriously when he's mad/determined and he's been saving up his Nen all for one person. It was also heavily hinted that Gon could have done some serious damage to Morel himself, if not killing him straight out meaning that he at least has the potential.

Who knows? maybe Gon has thought of something offscreen during that 3 week timeskip to even the odds against Neferpitou since he now has the advantage of knowing what he's up against.

The Troupe will serve as a measuring stick to help us gauge how strong Gon and Killua have gotten and how they're on par with some of the members now.

They didn't get stronger at all

And in the case on Gon, Morel never saw Gon's JaJanken which is like Knucle said a flawed tecnique but a very, very powerful one. It was already enough to ko Knuckle and now it was done with real killing intent, probably more seriously than the final one on G.I. so it's actually no wonder if he could kill him.

Still if someone believe that now Gon and Killua are now on pair even with Knuckle and Shoot they are completely wrong.

Oh wow. This episode is nicely done, especially Gon's face when preparing his Janken. Now I can't wait to see the Phantom Troupe again. Feitan and the others will surely kick some Chimera Ants' asses.

Something about this show and the way it's written like a Shonen Jump series and in fact is one yet doesn't seem to ever feel overly stretched out or like the episodes ever drag too long (maybe this is strictly a Toei thing) is starting to become more and more apparent as we close in on the 100 episode mark. It feels like more has been accomplished in just these 95 episodes than even the likes of my favorite SJ series One Piece ever accomplished in the same amount of time. Maybe if it's Alabasta arc had gotten off the ground sooner......
