The final stage. Should be exciting.
No way all the rookies are going to make it through.
But it's going to be interesting seeing some become Hunters while others dont.

wow. Gon's a cheap ass liar.

wat how did Hanzo get 3 tags in one day?.. it wouldve been easier to go back to where he started and go in the direction Killua threw the other tag

Why did Bourbon enter the cave and go all the way to sit at the dead end in the first place?

And to suck out Leorio's poison, Gon would've had to suck all over his body, right? ;)

Kurapika figured out how Bourbon died exactly! Figuring out it was anaphylaxis is I suppose all right, but how could Kurapika have known it was due to bee stings?

Mmm, they outwitted the trap more easily than I would have thought. And Leorio was able against all the odds to pass on the other round. That dude really have a guardian angel.

With the reaction from the judge, I guess the last round will make the challenger teamates with people they don't appreciate, for exemple Gon with Hisoka. Anyway, we'll see.

To be fair, Gon didn't lie, since he never said that he wouldn't take her badge. He only said that he would give Barbon tag and that he would get her out of the cave :P

So the final phase is a tournament of some sort and I guess those questions were to help determine what the brackets look like...This should be interesting.

Well that sucks, Ponzo would have lost either way. Leorio is Gon-carried through the 4 phrases.

lol at Leorio getting carried through this entire exam, literally.

It's great to see the group strengthening their bond.

So that's how. Yeah of course Bourbon was holding an antidote. It's an excellent bargaining token.

I meant the people hadn't even heard of it or watched it at all yet. (and not because of any 'nostalgia poop heads'.) Once they did catch up, they probably didn't bother commenting on every episode discussion that existed before the one they caught up to.


lol, during that time the episodes aired nostalgia poopheads were the ones commenting and saying the series was shit compared to the other. Almost every episode has nostlgia poopheads commenting...Now we have an actual fan base that appreciates the show... lol


lol yea they were absolutely terrible in the past episodes....now they're fading, yayz!
------
yea i find it a bittersweet taste in my mouth after looking at this. ponzo kinda didn't deserve it and i was kinda hoping she'd find a person in time, but wasn't everyone pretty much "Mission Accomplished" at that point? too bad....

i thought it was cheesy for gon to conveniently have a breathing limit, and for that long but hey, we've got a boy swiping a heart out faster than a blink. this is when the shounen plays in, and it's all good.
besides, he lived in nothing but nature right? so being underwater is definitely is something he'd do.

ah, forgot about that hisoka part. so he IS interested in killua in the least, but he just holds the pom poms for gon, that's all.

and wow challenging issac! i think he'd win but my mother bets that issac would get hisoka good - she loves that man lol

I noticed how Gon positioned Ponzu on Leorio. Too bad Leorio will never know. lol

Damn. Wanted to see more of Ponzu.

I just remembered... They did not show us an episode of Gon's depression. They also did not show us Tonpa getting punched by Ponzu...

The fourth phase was done way better and now I am excited about the final phase of the exam!

I love how the interviewer guy just listens to Hisoka suggestively moan about little boys and his desire to get away with killing and is just like "Lol cool, that will be all."

Gon just searching through Barbon's clothes even with all those vipers wrapped around and biting him all over his body was already badass enough and how he rescued everyone with just one breath was awesome! It's great that the trio made it to the last phase.

The interview answers were really interesting for me and I'm looking forward to how Netero will end up testing them especially after the other examiners' reactions.

i thought that gon isn't going to take ponzu badge though leorio needs it, guess his pure heart couldn't make leorio depressed.
though the next phase haven't revealed i have pretty much idea of the chairman actions what its going to be.

The only thing I didn’t understand was Hisoka’s response to Netero’s questions.
For the second one Netero asked him “who do you have your eyes on” and he responded Killua with Gon being a close second. Then Hisoka said he’d love to fight(Killua? Idk, unclear pronoun)
For the third question Netero asked him “who do you want to fight the least” and Hisoka said Gon, with Killua being a close second. But he just said he wanted to fight Killua.
Doesn’t really make sense, does Hisoka have his eyes on two kids he doesn’t want to fight, and maybe fight them when they’re stronger?

Phew, finally it's over, that was getting boring.

I don't see why Gon started crying, he wasn't sad or angry. It just felt forced and fake.

Ponzu did accept defeat even before she was saved, since she had to wait inside the cave until the Phase was over anyway.

Netero not giving a flying f about what Hisoka's saying was hilarious

Leorio needs to step it up. I like his character enough but him constantly needing help or messing up is getting old fast. Hopefully he makes up for this like he said.

Honestly, apart from the tense moments in this episode, I really liked the moment when Killua, Kurapika and Leorio chose Gon... then the moment Gon opened up to Kurapika about what happened to him. The four of them undoubtedly have a good relationship but especially Gon with Kurapika and Leorio who have been together since the beginning, their bond really feels special. I hope there will never be a day where they have to fight each other.

It's really sad to see Gon cry but on the other hand it will make him grow stronger. I'm really looking forward to the day when Gon can get back at Hisoka!
