| Episode direction was much improved from last week The anime does a much better job of explaining how Knuckle's Nen ability works than the manga. I had to read the explanations 2 or 3 times the first time around and even then I didn't grasp it fully until it was used more. Didn't know Hakoware translates to "Chapter 7 Bankruptcy" though it makes sense considering his ability is a play on the IRS agency (Individual Ren Suppresor? Clever one you are Togashi : P) Loving how Illumi's influence is wearing down Killua. Seems he's still deep in his brother's clutches. Couldn't help but feel for the guy since it's not his fault for being raised that way. This plot line develops in a pretty cool and unpredictable way so I'm excited to see how Killua deals with Illumi's curse The King arrives along with Gon/Killua's results next week, prepare yourselves though I doubt I'll be able to |

| You know shit's going to go down when Knuckles removes his clothes APR is a cute mascot I guess. Dat explanation. Oh God, that was just funny the way that Gon responded. Knuckles' training method is kinda interesting with the interest stuff going on. Why hello extra hands. That's pretty flashy there Shoot. The OST played during the fight between Killua and Shoot was nice imo. Fuck off though Illumni.  Based on the preview, Chimera King is coming out tomorrow. Oh shi-  |

| serious question: Is the staticy-blackout on Killua's eye the nature of Shoot's power, or is it the result of censorship? |

| Damn Killue is obviously not fighting at his potential strength because he is frightened and rather wants to conserve his energy to escape. I though they both got the message that nobody have any intentions to cause any casualties, so even if he loose he is not particularly in danger. |

| Once Killua gets over his fear, he becomes a WAY better fighter. Now that the king is born next episode, All hell is officially going to break loose starting now. |
| I have to say Killua's fight was 100 times more interesting than Gon's fight. Way too much annoying math going on with Gon and Knuckles. I don't blame Gon for going empty there. That was just a pain to think about. Hopefully Gon just kicks his ass quickly next episode to make up for it XD. Much more interesting watching Killua struggle against his limits. His battle has far less to do with Shoot than his brother. He's fighting his own habits and teachings rather than his opponent. The problem being that it's going to leave Killua in a worse condition since he's having to do things he's not used to. Though the only benefit is that it seems like Shoot doesn't seem to like hurting people he doesn't want to hurt. |
| Really great episode my favorite one from the CA arc so far. Can't wait for next week to see one of my favorite parts of the fights. And based on the preview |
| Getting bored of this anime going so damn slowly week to week. No progression at all at this point. Gonna have to take a few weeks off and watch a couple eps bunched, because this is becoming painful. |
| I find it funny over these past few weeks how vastly different the reaction has been to these Gon vs Knuckle battles in the anime compared to the manga. I remember a lot of people saying those fights were some of the best in the series when the manga was still in this arc and with the anime, while it is still mostly favorable reviews, seems to have a much lesser reaction. Just an observation that I found interesting. Good episode, very smart on Madhouse's part to split up the fights at the halfway point to switch over. Killua is sadly useless atm due to his curse. I don't think I will ever get used to Knuckle's ability being subbed as Chapter 7 Bankruptcy after reading it as Hakoware throughout the whole arc in the manga. |

I really like the fight in the anime a lot but not much to say since both fights end next week which are the parts I am really waiting for. |

| @featthebeard85 Seems the anime is going to show a little more of Gon's duel to round out next week's episode based on the preview but we'll still see who won/lost Can't blame people for thinking this part of the arc is slow because it is but to the studio's credit they're still adapting 2-3 chapters an episode. If they did Greed Island style pacing for this little section I wouldn't have complained : P |

Luckily we are finally getting to the real good parts starting next episode! |
Hybridbloodszak said: @featthebeard85 I meant in terms of having the first half only focused on Gon's fight with the second half only focused on Killua's fight. I don't remember if that's how they did it in the manga which is why I brought it up. |
| knuckle has one a nice technique i wonder what surprises shoot's technique will have |
| Liked Killua's fight much more than Gon's. Very interesting seeing Killua struggle against his fear of loosing. |
 |
| Killua is so darn sweet, so many of my feelings roll around for him. Caring so much about Gon and trying to change for him, ahh. |
 |
| Whato to say... Killua's fight was pretty decent. And what the hell is wrong with that preview, are you fucking serious?! It spoiled everything! |
| such a good episode of hxh this week and yes, i can understand Gon clearly Killua's brother is badass and i wanted the Zoldyic OST to be played xD hard luck for me :/ and finally the king will arrive in the next week, cant stand waiting anymore and have a black aura or something :/ MH is the best, 5/5 for this week |
 |
| Knuckle's ability was a little confusing at first but i got the hang of it the more he explained it, better math teacher than mine. Dat green aura, Shoot u fancy. I really want to know what the hell is going on with killua's left eye. Felt pretty slow, but damn dat ost. 4/5 |
| We finally get to see Knuckle's stand (lol Jojo reference) |
 |
| Someone know the song's name when killua break his yoyo ? :p |
| Gon got hurt from mathematics and Killua didn't really accomplish anything. I hope next episode will be better. It wasn't bad but I'm not a huge fan of Knuckle's ability (I really don't think it suits him, lol) and Killua didn't take enough chances. Oh well, it's the only the start of the battle so I guess there's still a lot of time left. |

daleb729 said: PonyMaster5000 said: the first couple of episodes of this arc was interesting.. but now the pacing is starting to piss me off lol. i just want them to go back into NGL they can't keep going at the pace they did or we'd end up with a load of fillers Filler is mostly for the author to publish more content, unless Madhouse actually wants to drag this out in hope of Togashi to resume the manga there really is no point in having filler |
|
japanda said: Aura debt? This is getting ridiculous. Stop the internal monologues already and get back to REAL fighting. Yeah, this isn't boxing you know. Every single battle from now on will have really weird Nen abilities, like Jojo's stands, which is much more interesting in the end. |
| Poor Gon, couldn't handle math well. Not much happened, I hope to see more next ep. |
| Knuckle used 'Math Attack' on Gon! Its a critical hit! Lol But awww Killua :_; |
 |
| From next week on, I want to see if anyone can complain about the boredom of the episodes...the King is coming! |

| Decent setup. Figured the fights wouldn't end in 1 episode. No complaints here. The explanations and views inside the fighters' heads were necessary. Guess I'll just go down the line with my thoughts on each character. Knuckle's ability makes sense to me, as far as suiting his personality. Forget the math, and in depth use of the skill. Look at how it functions when you break it down to basics. In order for his enemy to successfully defeat him, the enemy has to be aggressive and exchange blows heavy and hard. Knuckle is an aggressive character, so this is just the type of fight he wants to force on his opponents. He thrives off of it. Similarly to Hisoka, except more straightforward, and in a less twisted manner. He just wants to exchange fists, as said in previous episodes. Personally, to me, it makes sense and I can dig it. Shoot is still somewhat of a mystery, but I'm glad he manned up in this episode. Though he probably doesn't have much of a fan base due to lack of screen time and a weaker personality, I feel like he impressed in this episode. His aura was cool, the 3 hands are interesting thus far, and just based on my opinion, now that I see his character design out in the open, I'm really a fan of it. I like the clothes, hair style, tats, and just the overall vibe this guy has going on. Kind of flashy. Not something that would look good in reality, obviously.. but for his character and the show, it's working for me. Always been a fan of Gon, but he's the one I'm least interested in at the moment. I wouldn't doubt Madhouse's ability to surprise me in the next episode and have me psyched about Gon again, but right now I feel like we've pretty much seen everything he has going on, and his nen abilities are pretty basic. But I'd love to be proven wrong in the next episode. We will see. Never really been a fan of Killua, honestly. Always thought he was kind of a pussy. But in this episode I liked him a lot. Prior to this, I had been thinking of him like that, but the writers did a great job not only explaining, but making you FEEL his internal struggle, and the demons he has to overcome. He felt stronger today, even though he still didn't manage to overcome his curse. You could see his willpower, and the exceptional amount of hunger he had. There was a little bit of Gon's spark in his eyes. Looking forward to seeing how he deals with Shoot. I empathize with Shoot's kind spirit, so honestly I don't really want either of them to lose. These guys have my attention. Lastly, the clip we got of the king in the preview was not bad at all. Kind of sad they spoiled it, but he looked pretty cool so I can't wait. |
 |
| Short episode, next weeks looks epic |
| Knuckle ability is cool. One hit an enemy then he can hide and wait the interest rise. The babylook "stand" besides Gon is harmless but annoying to have near. I will need that sweet voice when it says "Chikandess" to ring on my cellphone. Too much math, Knuckle. Wonder why you thought for your main ability something like that. |

| The problem about the fights isn´t the strategy in it. hxh is top notch when it comes to strategic battles. The problem ist just that everything that happened in the last 5?? episodes was totally predictable. And in the end shoot and knuckle are just fodder. Having said that this episode was still ok. Atleast we get some nice fights. I shouldn´t whine about being spoilt by a preview for the next episode. But there were like 3 major spoilors in it -.- It feels like I dont eve need to watch the next episode because I already saw everything. I guess I wont watch the preview anymore... |
| Knuckle's ability still makes my head hurt. Makes me feel like Gon. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| HOW THE FUCK IS POTCLEAN = APR? Wtf CR subs.... |
