Tense episode I guess. Octobro is a brave little soul! Looks like he got found out though, damn.

The fight between Knuckles and Youpi got interesting with the exchange of punches. I think he might actually have a chance. Killua arrived too. That look on his face looks like he's about to go in for a kill wow. I'm really interested in seeing his new abilities.

Oh Knuckle never change XD
I remember getting really depressed at the time when I first read this thinking Knuckle was toast before Killua saves his ass. Youpi only gets more interesting from here on out

Love the callback to Zeno's monologue when the invasion first started how when two warriors clash or one is about to die time slows to a crawl. It's really do or die for the Hunters

OMG Killua VS Youpi coming up!! Damn that episode was epic as fuck! I really thought Knuckle was going to die. Lol @ him running like he just robbed a store. I didn't realize it but Killua is probably MORE pissed than Gon is!! I can't express how long I've been waiting to see Killua in a serious fight.

Edit: That preview, wth am I looking @?

Also Hunter x Hunter continues to be the have consistently excellent art and animation. So when people say Hunter x Hunter is being made on the cheap, it just baffles how someone could say that with a straight face.

Love how the hunters are taking turns on Youpi :P

He only got like 1 min in this episode but Killua was the star in my opinion, that Narukami came right on time. Knuckle was funny as hell but he is smart to get the fuck out of there, Youpi is pissed off right now.

Poor Ikalgo, couldn't save Palm after all :(

But yooo that preview, Killua looks like a boss! I want 119 right NOW!!!

Edit: Pouf is getting out of smoke jail, can't wait until he starts playing around with the hunters XD

I believe it's fairly well-paced. It's more focused on strategy and psychological battles and it does it pretty damn well, it would ruin it if they made the pacing faster.

Knuckle, I just enjoy the hell out of him. So, when his life flashed before his eyes...well, that was about as tense a moment as I can remember. THANK YOU BASED KILLUA! Also, I love Knuckle's thoughts about Shoot. Wondering why he would do this for Shoot when they've never been close and he doesn't even like the guy. Also, love his laughing like a maniac right there. Not only does it alleviate some of the tension but also shows again how much of a monster Youpi is and how fucking ecstatic Knuckle is to still be alive.

Killua was amazing, though. He is one pissed off Zoldyck with a partner who can grant him invisibility, add Youpi's condition with the interest, and the Royal Guard has the odds stacked against him I can't imagine Youpi is out of it yet, though. I wonder what happened to Palm, I'm assuming it wasn't pretty but I guess we will have to wait and see.

Let's not forget Pouf slowly sneaking out, though Morel will probably figure this out. He's proved to be one of the most intelligent Hunters in the series and I think Pouf is underestimating him.

Epic as always. The PV was dissapointing. Looks like Killua gets his lightning power on and fights and then that invincible ant saves him. Hoped for some long fights between them. More or less CANT WAIT!

The second half of the episode was decent. Didn't think Youpi was capable of pulling a trick like that, surprised me a bit. Knuckle was kinda hilarious this episode.

Killua seems too overconfident. I have a hard time believing that he will be able to handle Youpi alone, unless that mascot come into play in the middle of their fight. The last shot is always epic ( I missed the narrator there).

I thought for sure Knuckles was going to die when he said ''I got 8 punches there''. I think that would have been a great moment to kill him, it would have been shocking and intense. Not that I want him to die or anything, but it felt like a perfect moment for such thing.

I already knew that Knuckle wasn't going to die because I read the manga. But even so, Knuckle scene was incredibly intense.
I found myself smiling and laughing like crazy along with Knuckle when he managed to escape.

My first post here! I've been lurking a while.

I really enjoyed this episode although I'm still pissed off by the pacing*, I thought all of the parts with Knuckle were perfectly paced though, they set it up to lead us into thinking he was a goner and then boom in comes Killua. I may or may not have screamed out in excitement when that happened.

The narrator has really been bugging me during the invasion I mean did we really need gyo explained to us?

Overall I think it was a pretty good episode.

*The argument that the pacing is slow because of "strategy" and "psychological battles/warfare" is ridiculous. I've watch tons of anime that have more strategy and psychological warfare in one episode that HxH does in the entire series and they don't drag out arcs DBZ style.

I seriously love pacing in this arc.We have time for character development and great fights.If they rush it more, it would ruin alot of tension.In general i hope they wont change this pace at any cost.

I am fine with the pacing of the anime. I don't see why things should be rushed. Plenty of things are happening already as it is, it's not like there are lots of recaps, reused scenes, staring at people, long powering up scenes or waiting for dust to clear scenes. I think the only people who complain about the pacing are those who are impatient and want to see the long awaited fights (Gon VS Pitou, Netero VS King). I bet when those fights do arrive, they would be saying why is it over so quick and why wasn't it dragged out more.

Look at Killua's eyes when he looks down at Youpi after saving Knuckle, then go watch the scene after Kalluto kills that ant in Zazan's castle. Same exact eyes, just different colors.

I just found it interesting, because they embody death, yet there is a clear difference between the baby Zoldyck eyes, and Gon's "death" eyes.

brilliant episode, I'm normally don't like Youpi's fighting style, i think it's kind of boring but in this episode I'm now fond of his fighting style, it's an admirable thing that he came came with a plan like that though he's not that type on ants that count on a plan, he just use physical strength to fight his enemies (the king's enemies)

I thought Knuckles was gonna die for sure.. but killua came and gave him a hand, Killua looks extremely angry because what Gon said to him, he'll beat the shit out of this fuckin strange looking ant, he entered like a boss and said "sorry, but what about to happen is just me blowing off some stream."

but i think even Killua won't be able to handle fighting monster like Youpi, well, I'm looking forward to what's gonna happen at the next episode,,

5/5 because i really enjoyed the fighting scenes between Knuckles and Youpi, it's really worth :)

Interesting, what is the difference between the young Zoldyck eyes and Gon's? I never really thought about it.

They re actually very lucky that the ants are separated and half of them are stuck (pitou, pufu). They re struggling enough with just Yupi.

I cant wait for next ep, Killua will show off a bit.

I was expecting to see more of Morau vs Pufu, did they reshuffle the chapters again? I ll check it out.
