Knuckle didn't really feel like he was dying though, I mean slow-motion deaths almost always turn out to be fake and they survive


I disagree, the only reason why I had any sort of feeling he would live is because of the short scene with Killua and Meleoron last episode. More specifically, like Tsudecimo, I actually thought he would get cut down as he was celebrating. But, even before then, I went from being amused at his thoughts before he, and I, realized this was one of those
"flashing before your eyes" moments. Also, since the series has killed the hell out of supporting characters throughout it's run, I was probably more inclined to believe he was screwed.


Maybe I'm just used to seeing this.
To me worst case scenario was him ending up like shoot.
I think HxH has done a very good job at making us believe that they are willing to kill anyone, and this is the part where they reward us by using that tension, but letting them live instead at the end. So I hope this part of the arc doesn't involve unnecessary deaths just to prove a point already proven.



EDIT: I also wished the narrator talked instead of knuckle in the fake-out scene. I mean when the character talks mid-action it feels as if the whole scene stopped and loses momentum, the narrator feels like they are just walking in a side track, and getting back to where we left off no harm done. But I guess the personal comments about shoot had to be included in his own voice.

they did that knucke almost-death scene so well that even I who has read the manga got a little scared that he might actually die hahaha


anyway i was laughing as hell when knuckle ran and realized that he just almost died, he really has that thug fighting style, not saying he's a coward but he's an opportunistic bastard.

"I amaze myself! I've never thought this fast before" ooh shit, I actually thought Knuckle would die... He finally punches Youpi's face, and his kick (felt it so much) with the soundtrack was just super badass!!!! Then when I expected him to unleash more pain on the poor little Youpi, he hightailed outta there! hahahaha

Man, what a cool character.

So Knuckle's gonna take Shoot to the hospital. But doesn't Bankruptcy only work when Knuckle is close enough to the 'victim'? I thought when he hit Cheetu with it, it disappeared when he put enough distance between them. Not sure though, haha. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Killua <3

Really looking forward to seeing his abilities. Like, before he had his assassin abilities, but then he developed the electricity, and started using yoyos. We have seen his yoyos in action, but we still haven't seen him use his electricity, nor using them together.

Can't wait for next week! :D

The episode was okay. Kinda expected Killua to step in since he has pretty much nothing else to do, but it will be interesting to see what Melereon does now.
Situation with Palm is also interesting even though she's already played her part.

A lot of narration of the same stuff though.

Only the last 3 minutes where the best. imo hunter x hunter takes too much episode to have a good one. u have to literally go through 5 boring episode before we get to the good shit. imo the troope arc is still the best. and people say this is better than naruto? exclude the war arc, and u are wrong.


we are wrong? What because we don't like emo stuff?
To you they are boring. To us, this is consistently good for over 100 episodes, a feat unmatched by another shonen.

It''s gonna be put on hold, a small price to pay to save Shoot, and then come back a few moments later.

The manga was a bit to fast during some of these moments, i remember reading it and it was over in a flash. I like how the anime is actually slowing it down a bit so you can really understand everything that is going on with the current events and battle stages on screen. The narration is used as to explain to the viewer what is happening and the tension continues to rise. I think its a perfect way of telling a story and getting you the viewer really interested in what is currently happening.

Well it's doing the opposite for me, it's making me disinterested in a lot of things. If it weren't for the art, I would have already read the manga and be done with this arc.

Wait, isn't Killua's dialogue different? In the anime, or rather Crunchy Roll's translation, he says he's going to let off some steam.

I think the script is changed in the anime. Because Killua didn't say the word 'Hachi' eight or the manga translators made a mistake.

So you just going to come out and say that, man way to bring everyone down now especially since everyone is enjoying it so much.

and your wrong, their are plenty of awesome moments coming up, some of which are probably the most intense moments in the whole arc. That are upcoming pretty soon. Chapter 290+ i believe and its already at like chapter 281 with this current episode.

This episode proved that both Youpi and Kunckle could think fast, and that knuckle obtained a sixth sense that could potentially predict his demise just right before it happens (what a useful move... lol).

I am getting confused as to what Youpi's explosive growth is useful for. It seems like the best Youpi could do to counteract the effect of explosion is to revert back to his original body right before Knuckle gives him the blow. My conclusion is that the explosion move is pretty much useless except blowing up like a time bomb.

Nice to see Knuckle cheated death.

I'm not all that worried about it. I've thought the Invasion has been excellent, and he's not liked them because they are slow and all that. So, I at least am confident I will continue to like the next episodes.

Well yeah, it wasn't directed at people like you who fully enjoyed everything so far. This was directed for people like luffyzero and people who want action and a faster pace.

You especially will love what's gonna happen between Meruem and Netero, I think.

It's also important to remember that Pitou is hurt and may be sapped as a result of using Dr. Blythe, and to consider how close Youpi is to being in debt, which we don't know but it has to be adding up by now. Anyone know how long into the invasion, in universe, we are?

Anyway, it's not that I am overestimating Gon and Killua. It's that I think they have a real chance if the state of their opponents. Still, it would be foolish to think the Royal Guard is out of it just yet.

Speaking of Yupi, is his shapeshifting part of his magical beast side or a nen ability? Because if it's the former then most of this is kind of pointless.
He'd be defenseless sure, but his offense would be the same. And they can barely touch him.

pitou is hurt? how? i remember her getting blasted by netero and getting thrown for quite a distance, but she doesn't seem hurt

well regarding the bankrupcy i dont have any ability to discuss that, i have 0% intelligence when it comes to math, i also dont understand and not willing to understand the explanation for that particular ability.

edit: o yea she broke her arm i remember now. still, even with a broken arm i think she could take gon's head of easily with the power(and terror) she displayed with the kaitou scene

we know that killua has improved, he has a new ability and he did train before going back to east gorteau. but aside from going to the gym with killua, i dont remember gon having a special training to improve in order to be in par with a royal guard.
