THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

It's a shame this is ending soon, this whole arc has been great and I can see it getting a lot more interesting after this. Hopefully it'll continue with this story in the OVAs.

Probably to almost definitely the best arc in the show... or is that too bold of a statement?

Killua's thoughts were making me wonder about him. He's not jealous of Gon or anything, right? And geez, you can understand why both Killua and Gon would be super on edge surrounded by a bunch of murderers. x_x

Not bold at all, this was easily the best arc. The villains were interesting, proving that the mangaka is able to make interesting enemies that aren't name "Hisoka", and since I personally find Kurapica to be far more interesting a character than Gon I definitely enjoyed this arc that he was, for all intents and purposes, the protagonist of.

I didn't expect him to offer Gon to join the Troup, that really caught me off guard.

Smart idea for escape. Much like the last part of Trick Tower in the exam :D

I really like how they are having Kurapica's storyline gradually merging with that of Gon and Killua.

This episode was so epic.
Gon's stupidity continues to crack me up as always.


Hisoka totally being inconspicuous.



That face. Killua knows he is done for.

It was good when Gon spat at the spiders for having compassion for their friends but not for the people they kill.



That chibi Hisoka. Hope there is a chibi hunter x hunter series soon. Hisoka's voice is so cool. Damn.

That plan to escape was perfect. Never thought they would do it.

And each spider has some terrifying abilities. That woman could tell your memories by touching you. That's creepy.

Let's hope Hisoka continues to be in the series. There are only 3 more episodes, so I hope he appears in Greed Island and the OVAs too.

Never thought of that, but it did seem familiar the way they escaped. Nice eye.

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.

I knew that they would open another exit when Gon was thinking about how that third thing was called. Caught that sword guy pretty unprepared.

Killua's really stressing because of this situation, and I don't blame him, considering he's surrounded by monsters that can instantaneously kill him.

Another amazing episode, Nobunaga really want them to join the Phantom Troupe?. Haha, beautiful scene when they break the walls. I wasn’t expecting that friendship between Nobunaga and Uvogin, I just hope that Kurapika could be able to find them one by one, or at least 1v1 vs. the strongest like Nobunaga.

Good callback to the Hunter Exam and them opening a hole to the other exit!
