Hunter x Hunter - Episode 85

HOLY SH*T. We were not expecting that at all! One of the best episodes we've ever seen...


Comments

Kite 🥲💕

Esmeralda

This is where I realized how delusional Gon is.

Aglesh

crazy how it was the best roll 🤣

Taco Boca

I like how Michelle pointed out that Kite was one of Gon's only connections to his father, cause I think one of the only complaints I have about this anime was how they lacked in emphasizing the relationship between Kite and Gon. Honestly if you read the manga you could say he was more like a father figure than Ging was. So I like that you were able to at least see how much he meant to Gon here.

soa

the way you both came closer to the camera to see better is so funny lol

soa

I am inspired by Pain, Madara, Hisoka, Chrollo, Levi, Eren, Luffy, Zoro, and Whitebeard.

Anakin

Ron setting up the ol “evil twin brother” alibi. You ain’t slick

Danny

Ron: That's fucking back scratcher! 😄😄😄

DARYL B AMPER

Sometimes you just have to face reality

The CulturedGentleman

"How they are transfering nen makes me " ok so wing explained this back in the heavens arena there is a way to force someone aura pores to open thats all the ants are doing nothing too impresive theyre just opening their pores theyre pretty durable so they do it in a a rough manner so i just wanted to clarify that theyre doing what wing did in an agresive way

Gggg Hhhh

I find it interesting that Knov was underestimating the power of the ants

Con

Thank you man! And Yes it CAN start with you! And you can impact everyone around you and it is contagious. I truly believe that

Michelle Lam

LOLOL

Michelle Lam

Ron asked for it and he got it. Lol this why he watches this right? For death and sadness

Grim

Ron got that Gon vibe!

Axel Lopez

We need that Ron backstory lol

B-Rai

I'm a bit late, but loved your intro. Gave me tears hearing this story. Honestly, please don't take this the wrong way guys, but as a french guy, I am often amazed by how americans have this positive attitude and get inspired by stories, may they be from anime, or books, or even sometimes random press story. And you know, the kind of thing that Ron gives off you know, this "I can and I will" attitude. French are not like that all. I wish we were though. Maybe it starts with me

ElCrook

Kite was VERY strong, probably at the level of Morel. Obviously it won't look like that as Knov and Morel can work as a team while Kite had to worry about two kids.

Noah G

Hahaha 👀

Cathy

Kite wasn’t that strong

Ahkenaton Furdge

I will say I think its great how the show crushes Gon's optimism at the last second because it reinforces how hopeless their situation is and how even a bottomless amount of hope won't save you Pitou crazy wit it

MARMAR

This is considered one of the best anime shonen arcs. hope you enjoy

Ahkenaton Furdge

so far away still from peak , at least you know to buckle up now. I told you in JJK , I told you in shippuden now you can't say I didn't warn you

Ahkenaton Furdge

Spoiler. Ron is in the next episode and he wears a white suit

Docta CLAW

agreed that you cant control really anything, but you can control how you react!

Michelle Lam

haha got you!

Michelle Lam

we will for sure react to food wars! DW its high on our list

Michelle Lam

It is interesting that kite said bad roll everytime he used his ability but he stayed silent in this episode

Hive

LMAO

Michelle Lam

from this point on the Arc is FIIIREE

Goon

LOL

Michelle Lam

Lets get on the pain train riding under the midnight rain. The rhymes are flowin.

SoySauce

Ron spitting nothing but Fax in the beginning with tying things together with Anime 📠📠📠📠 because I have always found lessons that I’ve related to in things such as anime or music and I’ve either agreed with the message or learned from it 🫡

Rafael

Going great with the intro predictions Ron! -"Are ya'll ready for pain", R.I.P. Kite -Step brother's story, Gon's Optimism

BAM

There’s also another one coming up for another series too we on the pain train

Tea_Lover

Appreciate this simon! Stay up bro!

Michelle Lam

I think you should delete this.

SoySauce

Really appriciate you for sharing your story bro. I also got adopted by my grandparents at a very young age, due to drug related problems with my biological parents. I have an older sister I've only met once when I was a kid. This is my first comment here but I really enjoy your videos and just binge watched your Haikyuu and blue lock reactions lol. You guys are genuinely funny and whole hearted people =) stay real, -simon.

Simma

You guys are getting pretty good of getting that feeling of when someone dies🤣. The more anime you watch the more hints you’ll get to when someone might die. But this is character development for killua and gon. Love this arc🥹😁

Splahes

SpyxFam S2 isn't that bad since it has some comedy mixed into it. At least it is better than HxH ant arc, JJK shibuya arc and Naruto Shippuden Asuma arc right now. 😢I only mentioned SpyxFam since they said they want to watch that soon too. They need something lighter to heal.❤️‍🩹

Phyllis

The second Ron said "Are you ready for pain and darkness", I thought, haha no, you guys probably are not, at least not for this episode lol

iamjubes

"back scratcher" LMFAO

bort

Gon's reaction in this episode was my reaction when they started watching HxH

Wadabadada

From here on the episodes are gonna get exponentially better, can’t wait for the action to kick in (also get ready to focus on the explanations 😭 you’re gonna have a hard time with all the info)

Zerø

spy family is kinda depressing tho in some chapters

mamimumemo

Kite had Gon and Killua to look out to so he was distracted plus he wasn't expecting to encounter a nen user Chimera Ant. Morel, Knov and chairman Netero were well informed so they can plan ahead before they attack. I actually forgot what happened after this but I think those three can manage even when they are just as strong as Kite.

IJALS

Michelle, if you need an anime recommendation for something more cheerful please go ahead to make a post to ask Sushi Squad. You can include genre you prefer. Spy x Family S2 is a good option to watch in order to lift the depressing mood a little.

Phyllis

RIP Kite.😢

Phyllis

Thank you I appreciate the support 🙏🏾

David Waller

you are in for a ride my guy. it only gets better

BowlCutNinja

Now, the Ant Chapter officially begins!

kk xx

love the message in the beginning. anime is inspirational and i watch anime before i go to the gym haha

BowlCutNinja

wow, inheriting kite's and other's nen, the king is going to be strong af.

212

Next ep… my boy shows up. Can’t wait

Docta CLAW

Was waiting for this moment 😭

isayyu

LOL I'm paid for this, love your reaction here in HxH. Know pain.

Hisoka Morrow

One of the things I really like about this episode, is how well the different emotions are portrayed. The fear in all of their eyes, when Pitou rips off Kites arm. The rage that Gon shows right before being knocked out. The dispair and helplessness that Killua feels while being lectured by the 2 that were with Netero. And the relief and hope brought back to Killuas face, when Gon wakes up and thanks him, and tells him how they have to get stronger. All of these emotions were so well portrayed, and you could really feel them. Truly one of the best episodes in the show imo

Leona DiCarryo

Should probably hold off on the power scaling until they get to see those characters in action

Michael H

You should definitely delete this comment, dude.

Michael H

You are asking to be spoiled without spoiling…that’s a difficult ask, my friend. I know how you feel, though; I can get lost in this arc when trying to remember where in it certain things happen. Hunting down a specific episode can be a challenge.

Michael H

I know its basically too late to do 2 episodes a video but man when we get to the hype moments they just makes me want them even more😭😭😭

killilu

Dude i KNOW i was hoping there was more details in the manga or youtube but NOTHING :( we just get left in the dark

killilu

notice how kite didn't say "bad roll" like usual

iu

Hi Ron, thanks so much for sharing your story. I’m glad I found a reactor that actually takes anime seriously and not trust treat them like a form of entertaining media. Of course anime needs to be entertaining too but what’s more important about anime is the lessons and the messages woven within the story. Most anime have comedy and fan service but they can be very serious and relatable when need be. And this is not a joke, anime LITERALLY saved my life back when i was a kid. Back then i was very reserved and very clumsy, so I was pretty much a loner and always got yelled at by my parents. At that time, Naurto and Fruits basket were literally everything I had to keep on believing in myself. That I’m not just a failure, that if I try hard enough, even i could do it too.

Aiyuu

Still hurts ... We here tho! Reaction was on point. Glad to be here for the ride.

A Macy

man.. yall are not ready fr

T K

I’m so sorry Michelle but 31:00 you look as sad as Killua was looking the whole time after he knocked out gon 😭 I’m sorry I love yall!! This episode is insane and I almost cried ughh I never expected this when I first watched it I was so shocked. It literally is going to be a ride I’m so glad you guys are enjoying the show!

Bertha

Good luck 🤞

Jake Turner

And then Ron at the end saying “these guys better be a lot stronger than Kite,” but maybe Kite could’ve put up a decent fight if he didn’t lose an arm looking out for Gon and Killua. Nen fights are mostly about playing it safe until you know you can win.

Jake Turner

reread my comment bruv i said AGAIN

mia

Third time rewatch and still cried at the Killua-Gon scene

SoySauce

I think every weapon Kite rolls out would be a backscatcher against Pitou 🤣 she is just too strong

Anna Sali

Pitou already using Japanese masculine pronounce, "boku", since the beginning. But its gender never revealed in any hxh documents. Safe to assume that Pitou is just gender neutral.

mamimumemo

Getting your car injured!! Lmao 🤣

Jake Turner

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu! I didn't not expected that ending yo! Omg... I'm glad they didn't show Kite getting killed, cuz I would've cried. I feel like I didn't cry seeing him decapitated cuz of the wholesome scene before it, but I was crushed! Had the same reaction as yall, Gon really made me believe that Kite was alive. This shit is so good yo! Can't wait to see what happens next! So hyped!

LeNiarfe

Also, yes Spy Family needs to resume

Sam

Taxes are cursed spirits. Yes.

Sam

The fact that you guys encountered all these big casualties from JJK, AOT and now HXH all in the span of a month.

SoySauce

Literally Peak x Peak. And it’s just getting started

Mike Donohue

Ron is 100% right in the opening. What makes an anime compelling a lot of the time is when we can draw metaphorical parallels between the events on screen and the events of our lives. Finishing a school semester and fighting in Heavens Arena are obviously very different when looked at literally but we can draw metaphorical parallels between the way Gon and the viewer would overcome those trials which helps us to invest ourselves in the struggles we see take place on screen.

ChocoBoshi

Yo the first half of this episode is just all flags. The characters are getting all sentimental and looking back on their journey, mini-clipshow, and then someone has a request, everything rings with finality, all of those are textbook TV Flags for: shit is about to go down.

hurryupmode

The higher the stakes the more obvious Ron’s nen starts oozing out with excitement

Rene Cordero

Peak, this is the best anime hands down.

kirk poss

kite already found ging he just forgot to give him the card

Riley

I love their reaction, the pain i like it 🤣

Keno

This is big boi arc right here can’t wait for y’all’s reaction 😈

Jose Flores

At least the three royal guards have to be born, and until now we only have one, so there is time still. It's the only thing I can say without spoiling, because we already know there should be three royal guards XD

RPMizu

Pitou uses pronouns that can be gender neutral, and is referred to as male in some official material and female in other official material, although I dont think either of those are directly done by Togashi. Still, Pitou has a clearly femenine figure, so until she or Togashi says otherwise, I'll consider Pitou a female, but canonly Pitou's gender is unknown.

RPMizu

i'm not ready for this episode...

Jesús Guijarro

The episode is crucial in the whole arc

tang wc

Remembering when y’all first started the show and were saying “what a cute fun show” and now it’s the pain show 😭

Micole

This episode is still one of my favorites in any other battle shonen... The author explained how Nen fight is not only "pure strength" in such great way...

mamimumemo

killua was always raised as an assassin to fight or kill with certainty growing up BUT his father also told him if the opponent was far more stronger and he knew he might not be able to beat him, run away. Morel also teaches him to fight with certainty BUT even though you might not win you never give up. “That’s a nen users spirit” two different ways of being taught

Andrew Gutierrez

It never clarified he was a boy yet dude. Let them be shocked when it’s revealed 🤦‍♂️

Nick Obeso

Intro hit as soon as he said vet bills. My dog has been sick for 2 months and it's been a lot but I'm determined and pushing through for myself and my dog.

David Waller

ur out of ur mind how is it ur fav anime and ur not even done with it

Jboo

Pitou is monstrous. Huge jump between royal guards and the previous ants, its almost as if they are another species.

matt

Only reason why he lost is cus those kids didn’t listen the first time when he told them to run. He had his back facing the enemy. He was already at a disadvantage. We never really know if pitou struggled to kill him or not with 1 arm

Nick Obeso

Bro, it’s like you didn’t even here what gon and killua were saying about kite.. kites literally a nen master same as those 3

Nick Obeso

Ah, so it goes. One day…I’ll have my Food Wars. I actually know nothing about eighty six, but I’ve heard it’s good.

Michael H

Telling yall this ARC is tooo good!! crazy to see Kites head like that in Pitous lap. Appreciate the talk in the intro, Animes usually have real life themes too them for sure besides fights and good animation. The zoom in and injured car had me dead.

SirGeel

nah Kite is strong asf (cause you can see the damage he did to her and the environment with 1 arm) its just that the Royal Guards are 100x stronger than nen users

kai

It'll hurt now but you'll love it in retrospect!

Jacob Limoñ

its pretty hard to say without spoiling but were not too far. ive watched HxH too many times its not even funny.

SirGeel

Quoting Ron: "...and how Gon's optmism in this situation, when all feels an looks hopless, and he's still like 'Kite is alive, he is waiting for us to return, we need to get stronger', like it doesn't matter how much shit life throws at you, you have to believe, and have faith and seek what you're going after. And I was just like: this is perfect, this is the message I was saying about the anime." Yes, you do need to believe and have faith in your believes to reach the things you seek. But, also, you must know that you don't have control over really anything, and that when things don't go the way you want, it's okay. That's life. Thrilled with all the next episodes!

Leandro Testoni

Great speech from you Ron in the intro and yes, this episode is really one of the best in HxH. And realizing how motivated you were at Gon's speech and then immediately got depressed as hell barely a few minutes later when you see Kite's head in Neferpitou's lap proves how good this episode is! It was a real rollercoaster of emotions! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 And now a little question for everyone here in the comments: I've already rewatched HxH once and I am now doing my second rewatch with them. So, Ron keeps saying he really wants to see the king, and I just can't remember when he finally shows up. So could someone tell me (without spoiling anything for Ron and Michelle, of course) when the king finally appears? It really annoys me right now that I can't remember when he shows up 😂😂

RorotheShadow

they're filling it with eighty six

Ron spitting facts in the intro! As someone who deals with depression with daily life, anime has become a huge motivator for me!

Brandon Kallem

Every time I rewatch this I be disappointed we aint get to see more of kite's weapons/abilities.

Arz.09

10/10 ron yap session as always

Oscar H.

Yo! I think you guys finished Fire Force recently, so maybe you have a slot open? If so, I’d recommend filling it with a short, feel-good series to give Michelle an emotional break lol. Something like season 1 of “The Devil is a Part Timer” (13 episodes), “My Love Story” (24 episodes), “My Little Monster” (13 episodes), or “Hyouka” (22 episodes). They are just lighthearted, slice of life, romantic comedies, so nothing dark or deep; but you guys might need a break from the dark and deep for a few weeks. Or! One that I’ve been pushing for that would absolutely serve that purpose, as well, but is a little longer….Food Wars!!

Michael H

I actually lol'd when Ginger yelled "RNG!"

Miles Coleman

"those are taxes" LMAOO

Oscar H.

Gon's optimism is admirable, but he's also kind of naive.

defnotdai

you guys are so not ready for this arc 😭😭😭😭

j0zart

Good, it builds character lol.

defnotdai

Pain! Sadness! Despair! lolll

Alpha

Wake up to reality. These “ants” are probably more superior than humans. Other human species 20-30+ have been discovered. (They did live in the same time as Homosapiens) we most likely annihilated them. Do not think the most superior species should survive?

Saith Uchiha

Tbh yall really just set yourselves up with a roster of pain. Between this show, jjk, and naruto, yall gone be hurting for a lil while. But no worries, look on bright side, it makes for great content :)

defnotdai

Just clarifying. Im 99% sure that Neferpitou is a boy. Do with that what you may. Everyone makes the same assumption initially, myself included.

Luis V

Yeah, that image of Pitou with Kite's head in its lap is a lasting one. Made Gon's lil speech crumble, lmao.

botanbutton

dying laughing at the back scratcher comment hahaha

ECCENTRiC

we told you this show was something crazy

Bhen

It gets so hard for me to rewatch hxh, theres so much pain out of so much happiness, and gons reaction makes it worse knowing what we know

matias

I want to say I really like the Upper Moon 🌙 comparison. The royal guard and them have such an overwhelming murderous intent aura around them. Instilling fear in their opponents making them unable to move

Aaron Mitchell

crazy how this was the first time we saw Kite use his ability and *NOT* say "bad spin"

Killua X

By the end of this week Michelle is going to have a full blown breakdown 🤣

DeadlyWeeb

I was always completely on Killua's side in this situation. If they wouldn't have ran, all three of them would've died. That's not a battle they would've won, no matter how you slice it. Kite, a pro hunter, got bodied one on one with Pitou. So, imagine if instead of running, a one armed/weak weaponed kite, an enraged/irrational Gon, and a wary/hesitant Killua all decided to stay and fight Pitou. An ant with aura worse than Illumi, Hisoka, and kite. I'm sorry but, Morel and Knov coming in talking big shit when they weren't even there is crazy to me. Like the overall message of what Morel was saying had truth to it, but when you apply it to this specific circumstance, it's not logical for relatively inexperienced hunters like Gon and Killua.

defnotdai

Ron you get anime, good shit brotha 🫵🏽👌🏼

Crusito96

The timing with HxH & Naruto is 🔥🔥🔥

Issac Gonzalez

This episode is so so good, especially on a rewatch. The conversations were 🧑‍🍳💋

Vayne

fucking back scratcher dude! :'(

GeorgewithaJay

They bout to go through ALLLL the emotions

Abigail Jerry

"Back scratcher" 🤣🤣🤣

S.C.A.V.A

hxh is my fav and as amazing as it is it’s too depressing for me to go past greed island whenever i rewatch

mia

yeah, I was curious on what that weapon (#3) do, like wtf is that ugh

Jhn

this epp kills me

Jhn

"Eh I don't blame the clown, but whAT WEAPON WAS THAT, it WAS F*KING BACKSCRATCHER, IT LOOKED LIKE A BACKSCRATCHER" - said Ron calmly

dzuudo

I love this show! Leading up to the Kite vs Neferpitou(Pitou) fight, you saw how Killua was thinking about how Kite was the first hunter they "met" while the others were more like teachers. And just showing Kite's ability to track was putting him at the mastered Nen level. It didn't look like Pitou took much damage if any at all from that 1 scene so it puts into perspective just how strong she is. Also with Killua mentioning he doesn't even think Netero stacks up to her. Bad timing to be hitting this episode while also watching the current JJK though lol.

Ahupnatun

RIP kite with his backscratcher lmao i cannot say more. Thanks for reaction as always.

og meowmix

why not

defnotdai

great reaction and message in the intro! looks like y’all (Michelle mostly lol) need some more slice-of-life animes as a palate cleanser with all the depressing episodes you’ve been watching (understandably so)

Jahmilla

anddddd this is where i clock out lol i already swore to myself i’d never watch past greed island again it’s been nice knowin y’all loved the reactions from the beginning🥲

mia

Love Gramps Netero 🔥🔥🔥

Camila

Don’t worry, in this situation that was the perfect weapon Kite could have, you will understand later

To To

I said it, it will become your fav anime Ron

To To

In my opinion kite is about the strength as 2 of the 3 maybe a little weaker.

Nick Obeso

Backscratcher🤣🤣🤣🤣

Vaguely Vivid

Didnt mods give yall a list of episodes to watch together

luquzii

Kite 😢

Junior Alves

i actually dont think that the weapon he pulled was weak its the only time we've seen him pull a weapon and not say "bad roll"

Ian

Here to plan a future double: 130-131 needs to be watched together 😭

Nick Obeso

great intro speech real ones never skip 💯 also saying the clown gave him a backscratcher is hilarious 😂

firepingu150XD

kite is at least as strong as them dont let it fool u it is just those guards are just realy that strong

NamelessKing67

“Taxes are cursed spirits”-Ron this cannot be more true

Saith Uchiha

I'm assuming this is about Michelle at the end of the episode.

Kee

Soooo we doing double uploads of hxh now, that would REALLY be dope especially when things start to pick up again...

Trinature

*The clown pulling out #3 weapon* All other reactors: Is that a wand?? Ron: Back scratcher!!! Im dead 😭😭😭

The royal guards and all the other ants are like pro athletes vs newborns a cage fight. Thats 1 way to highlight the difference.

Davis

Trinature
