| that 5 minutes will probably take half the episode. hopefully thats not the case. but damn this is getting tense. |
     |
| Damn. That sucks. Gruesome end for the guy too. When it comes to episodes like this, I sometimes forget that Hunter x Hunter is a shonen, and not a seinen. O_O |
| I didn't expect that guy to get decapitated, that was pretty brutal for a shounen. |
 |
| poor black guy :( ,lol @ leorio |
 |
| Im enjoying the tension so far, but the pacing... not so much, I want the mains to do something already. |
 |
| I was kinda hoping that black Sensui wasn't going to die... oh well. (Just try and tell me that Squala isn't just Shinobu Sensui with a recolour). |
| Despite not knowing Squala for long, it was hard to watch him meet his end. Especially when they started hammering down how he was trying to live in peace with that woman Eliza. I can barely breathe as the tension builds up. Leorio is awesome and that message/act he put on was priceless. |
 |
| So many death flags for poor Squala. |
| Really, poor Squala. When I was watching this over 10 years ago I think his death was really tragic for me. On the other hand the OP and ED rocked. |
negative1111 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Its good that people sometimes die in this anime but i think they are killing a bit to many... didnt want the dog controlling man to die. I thought it was almost impossible for him to make it. I do feel kinda bad tho. Leorio acting like an asshole was the best part of the episode |

| This episode really rubbed me the wrong way. It's easy to outright detest the spiders, despite the fact that they're fictional and that they've done no offense that can be considerable relatable to the viewer. I feel almost like Batou when he watched Togusa's memory of the assassination hit on unarmed office workers. The way Nobunaga showed 'hypocritical' infernal lust for vengeance over the death of his piece of shit pal yet has zero hesitation or remorse for cutting down a hopeless innocent really pisses me off. To paraphrase Mencius, "a strong person knows how to treat their lessers so that the lessers can give back more to the strong." Or to paraphrase Confucius, "a strong person should be strong, and a servant should be servile, like a wind passing through a plain." The spiders are nothing more than a bunch of thugs from meteor city, I couldn't care less about their sob stories when they're revealed. They are so powerful that they can offer slivers of mercy yet they almost go out of their way to be merciless. They don't have the excuse to forfeit their morals, they are not ants, which makes it all the more infuriating and frustrating to see the leader unable to respond to Gon's question. You never even thought about it? And that's the reason why criminal executions haven't been banned. Some people aren't able to reform, they're fked in the head. Fk 'em I sure hope they get whats coming to them, if Gon or Kurapika hunt these dogs down to the last revolting one. You wanna act like a monster, get put down like a monster then. |

| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Oh boy that tension! Pretty great episode, a bit sad about that death but it was expected :/ oh well, let's see what's next! |
 |
| WHAAAT!!! A FULLY SHOWN decapitation in a PG-13 Shonen anime! That's truly amazing! Damn... LMFAO!!! Leorio's face and his accent at that scene is hilarious af! Probably the funniest scene so far... Another cliffhanger = Watch next episode |
  |
| Worst episode of Hunter x Hunter. They killed the guy and used his love as a plot device. Those bastards. And Leorio finally did something. Whew. |
 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. |
| That's a pretty tense situation, so they will force a blackout to confuse the enemies and escape. Which will still leave those three strong fighters, are they really gonna take care of them? Or will they rather escape? Looking forward to the next episode. |
 Leorio takes the spotlight as usual. Great strategy--to communicate with Gon and Killuka in such a manner. But the animators went above and beyond with the facial expressions. |
| The scene of Squala’s death was impressing, if reached I knew this guy was gonna die. With the information, its only time for Pakunoda to arrive and spread the information to hunt Kurapika, a move is going to take place before her arrival, I think. Leorio rules. |
 |
| Fak ... what a brutal death for Squala. Poor guy was in love, was good with dogs and to just die like that, sad. - At least it was quick. Leorio was fantastic though, hilarious performance and the boys got the message! Just those facial expressions got me laughing hard :D |
