| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh shit, the selection is about to start. I like both sides' strategies tbh although Knuckle's team to erase their presence is pretty nice. On the other hand, the Chimera Ants are making their moves as well. http://i.imgur.com/PD3IRy6.png Octobro and his tears ;.; I'm pretty hyped about how this selection will go now. I liked seeing Gon's resolve in this episode to defeat Pitou and avenge Kite too. Same goes for Killua who wants to test out his new technique. Time to rush in~ Regarding the King, he's definitely questioning why he is being bought into this world so I'm curious to see how far he'll go with his discovery. |

| Next episode,it begins. |
| This Christmas Eve will be a day to remember. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I loved how Killua just ended the phone call without a word of thanks or bye. |
 |
| Holy shit, im so excited.I cant sit still. I think Knov will do something great in future.I dont know what, but i believe in him. King - one of best villains EVER. |
 |
| Dat friggin intense set up for the infiltration!!! So awesome! Loved how everyone's thoughts were shown. Damn Pitou is screwed XD...Whenever Gon thinks about her, his Nen just overflows to no end hehe. Morel is gonna be fighting at only 35-40%...Talk about bad luck XD Knov's hair literally whitened from fear. Meruem is still wondering and that baby **** cameo with Colt ;) Seems like Knov's shoes will be found out nxt ep? Uh-Oh. Shit will get real!! Can't wait >.< |
 |
| Dat anger. I can't wait to see Gon go wild. |
| Can't wait for the selection to begin. The king is really getting fond of Komugi, asking Pitou to watch over her if anything happens to her. Knov having white hair looks really weird. Good to see both Colt and that baby again. |
 |
| Shits getting real. Can't wait for the next episode. |

| This episode felt really short, I was suprised when I heard the ending song. Good set-up episode but I feel like I was missing something..however don't know what :( |

| Ahh, that buildup... almost worse than Attack on titan. |
 |
| Im glad that I watch HXH . It's damn awesome . this episode was a good set up one , pretty hyped for gon's fight and morel's. What happened to knov though ? why his hair turned gray ? 5/5 |

What happened to knov though ? why his hair turned gray ? 5/5 His facial features looked slightly altered as well. |
  |
| Wow, almost time for shit to go down, pretty sure the assassination's going to fail but I'll see, looks like the king's getting tired of the guard as well. Catgirls pissing him off too. Guards might be pretty powerful but king can take them out easily I guess.. |
Klanma said: Im glad that I watch HXH . It's damn awesome . this episode was a good set up one , pretty hyped for gon's fight and morel's. What happened to knov though ? why his hair turned gray ? That's his true hair color, the color of cowards. Anyway, a very good episode as usual. |
| Why is Knov's hair blond/white all of a sudden, hahaha? Good episode. Preview looks promising, sending mixed messages though. Can't really tell what's about to happen. |
| Damn, after reading all these posts, I'm really excited to find out what's going to happen next episode! |
| Damn you hunter why you gotta be addicting! |
| you sound poor |
| Dem monologues. Can't wait to see what happens next! |
| Everyone is preparing to enter the palace and begin the fight. Gon is definitely ready to take on Pitou. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| They scared the color off of Knov that is crazy. Can't wait for next week the tension is killing me! |
 |
| Shit just got real, can't wait to see Gon go wild. |
| Oh shit!!!! Oh shit!!!! Can't wait.... A great episode as usual. Loved the thoughts of everyone at the end!!! And King, damn his internal monologues are awesome... Morel is going to fight at 40%? Shit is going to get real... |
| "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone". Ella Wheeler Wilcox |
| The hype for the next episode is just tremendously big 25 of December.. CANT WAIT (The big problem is that in the end of the episode shit will hit the fan and we will have to wait 2 weeks) |
| Who's the best royal guard to be with the King during the selection? http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/5677/9vab.png Indeed, Pouf. Indeed... ^_^ http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2340/oi6g.png Not to mention that two newbie hunters almost got killed because of that misjudgement! >_> Oh well... a hunter's job is full of occupational hazard anyway. -_- And pro hunters do make mistakes and misjudgements which led to mission failure and/or casualties. No matter how bad-arse they are. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9503/ygz5.png Even the almighty overpowered King himself even has doubts. This manga/anime is great indeed. ^_^ Oh! The King's baby brother/sister... Nice to see (him/her/that thing) animated, paying innocently and being cute and all that. This episode is like a spring or a rubber building-up tension. |

| I'm so pumped for the next episode. Great set up for the battle to come. |
 |
| Next episode, It all begins. |
 |
| How tense... I'm excited for next episode :) |
| So this is the start huh..damn i haven't been this excited from a build up episode in ages. |
 |
| My god! Knov looks like he's been to the deepest bowels of hell, battled the devil one on one, and then traveled through sewers of pure shit to get back to the surface. Wow!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| This episode gives me feeling that all the episodes leading up were definitely worth it. All the planning and strategy, it's very fun to watch. Although the invasion seems more and more dire. I mean look at the strongest ones, Knov and Morel, Knov is out and has been at this point reduced to scout far away from the palace, and Morel is at 30%. Gon is a loose cannon, Knuckle's nature might get in the way, and Shoot has anxiety problems. It's all going to come down to Netero and whoever he brought with him to help The monologues were great and showed why everyone is here. It was extremely sad to see Knov even more broken that he couldn't go with them. |

| Next week is going to be so fucking awesome. |
| a little bit more set up before shit starts to really hit the fan depending on how they pace this. people who know whats coming are hype im kind of jealous of those who don't know about whats going to go down in the rest of the arc. get ready for some crazy fights i can't wait to see how they animate my favorite fight in the series. |
NJZanDatsu said: Next week is going to be so fucking awesome. Candor said: I wouldn't be so sure. The next two chapters are long, by the current standards.Here are my hopes that next episode will cover 3 chapters. |
|
| Nothing to really comment on. Good episode 4/5. Looking forward to the next one. Lol, looks like the red guard is also gonna get his share of the King's bitch tail slap. |

| I was just as anxious as everyone on Team Octobro and I think the fun will really begin the week after next. |
 |
| Some people have guessed it from the preview but: |

| One of my favorite quotes of the manga was animated in this episode, heres a Anime vs Manga comparison for the part in this episode http://i.imgur.com/NifsKGN.jpg |
| Man I haven't felt this anxious and excited for next week's episode in an airing anime in a long time. I can't wait to see the plan in action and how events are going to unravel. Although I wonder where the old man is, I thought he was crucial to this operation. This is also a bit of a random thought (and I admit I miss Him), but I wonder if Hisoka will appear at all in this arc. I would love to see him and his rape faces against the Chimeras. In the words of Chris Hansen, "I can't control my horny level." |
 |
| Kudos to Knov, he's still trying. That last scene with the individual monologues was really beautiful, those colours! And loved the glimpse of little rat-tail <3 |
| Knov probably lost a good 30 years of his life from seeing Pouf's aura, as suggested by his sudden change in hair color. |
 |
| So excited! Can't wait to see what happens next! Anticipation on its highest level. You know I really missed seeing Gon its been awhile. I just love it when him and Killua are together :) |
