HH Episode 91 Reaction

HH Episode 91 Reaction

Sorry but what point is that? Transphobic people exist? You’d never find me arguing against that fact. But your point about Pitou being definitively non-binary? I don’t see how that’s proven at all, and I think that Antonio’s comment above does a great job of explaining why that’s innacurate.

Darrach

Yeah, who would've thought after the first few episodes of the show that we'd eventually be watching a villain killing children and spitting their brains out in disgust lol.

Colin Huckestein

@Darrach You see that my point was proven considering that comment has 5 likes

Skye

... How do I delete someone else's comment

Ninaly

Yes but we are watching the anime not reading the manga it was the same case with Hanji in aot its she for us it can be they for you if that makes you happy ჰელპ

Jorginho

Now that is transphobic when you say “stop trying to add your shit into everything”, congrats you single-handedly ruined this threads civility

Darrach

No one cares stfu and stop trying to add your shit into everything eat a dick

Mitchell Stevenson

The choice to conflate transphobia, a very real and dangerous phenomenon, with people having differing opinions on your own personal assertions about a character, is very reactionary.

Darrach

My understanding of this is that a lot debate concerning pronouns and gender for potential queer characters in Japanese media stems from the issue that the western concept of gender does not exist the same way in Japan as well as the way their language works. There's a lengthy reddit post breaking down everything concerning pronoun usage for Pitou the short of it is: Pitou uses casual and semi-masculine 'boku' which is a trope when used for female characters that are 'fighters' or 'tomboys'. The HxH databook that uses the male pronoun 'kare', was released within months of Pitou's first appearance and is not written by Togashi. 'Kare' is never used by Togashi in the manga to refer to Pitou. The English translator only used 'he' for Pitou early on because Japanese can be very non gendered most of the time and the translator only assumed Pitou as male just because they're creepy. Appearance wise, Togashi drew Pitou with more feminine traits as the arc progressed. Togashi has never confirmed anything, Japanese pronouns don't really matter but also has never confirmed anything, the only conclusive proof for Pitou's gender is them being drawn femininely and the anime producers deciding to gender her as female. My opinion; I think using either she/her or they/them pronouns are equally correct because Japan has a very conservative culture where the language hasn't exactly caught up to the idea of nonbinary and transgendered persons. However I think it would be disingenuous to shoot down anyone who perceives a character as gender nonconforming especially in Togashi's work. (Like, come on, I don't even have to say it) https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/h0bp90/the_full_explanation_about_pitous_gender/ https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/hkpiec/a_kiku_psa_ch_984_the_western_concept_of_gender/ I've never got into One piece but this post was interesting.

Antonio

anime director isn't the writer of the show/material

Skye

Pitou is a woman.

craftmania

In 2011 anime director confirmed she is a girl her apperance and voice are both feminine

Jorginho

Not the anime fanbase.

Shivering King Banana

I’d say the vast majority of people use she/her when referring to the anime

Darrach

Hi girls! Just a quick note -- Neferpitou doesn't have an assigned gender! So much of the fanbase uses they/them pronouns for Pitou edit: damn the transphobe commenters immediately jumped on this, togashi himself did not gender Pitou. Wiki itself uses they/them , there's an entire SECTION of it on the wiki. Y'all are proudly ignorant lmao. And the only official statement is that pitou uses "kare" which is similar to "he" in english.

Skye

the kings design is 100% an homage to cell and frieza there's no other way

Mr Krabs

i will not stand for this narrator slander wtf

Arnobio

they are both specialists wit clairvoyance

Ben G

HxH is a show that subverts the rules, after all Child prodigies don't beat adults who spent more years training and many of these adults are also geniuses

Vicente de Paulo Guimaraes Priante

Seriously, the pacing of this arc would be so much better if King killed the actual narrator.

Shivering King Banana

King reminds me of Cell character design wise and Gon reminds me of Gohan during the Cell arc personality wise.

Shivering King Banana

Yes you are correct, he is also very prideful.

Nina

We also can't forget that Gon intentionally sacrificed a hand for selfish reasons. He takes the path of most resistance and ends up getting burned most of the time. He's not a person that believes in the saying "A win's a win." Gon's probably only chance at that token was when Knuckle passed out on that first night. That would had been a fair win as well. The fault would had been with Knuckle for not taking it seriously. Gon is going about this the wrong way. Sure, it's important to be strong, but it's life and death. It's not a contest, it's okay to "cheat". Sometimes that's the only path.

Rare

Listening to your discussions makes me SO excited for your future episodes reactions 😆 You guessed some things so correctly and with other things couldn't be more wrong

Rahaf

Lola it's okay if you wanna stand on bidness. You had a gut feeling you're gonna like the King's character, and you're not letting him being cruel ruin your aspirations for what his character could be. That would be too surface level if he's just another evil for the sake of evil antagonist. Right? If there's one thing Togashi does EXCEPTIONAL, it's his villains. Shouldn't be a spoiler when I say YOU CAN PUT YOUR FAITH IN THAT. If you're current with the manga, just think about the GOATs he is cooking.

SoClose

All Hail to the King and his gungi!

the chimera arc begins!

Stephen

I was so entertained the last episode when you girls were almost certain that Gon and Killua would win the fight lol, remember girls, HxH doesn't follow typical shounen rules

Max__

dude...they have yet to find out what the king's name is

Yū Nishinoya

No LM allowed in our Discord club LOL

Isaac

Right. haha. I got confused. haha! Thanks! Edited.

Kevin Inoj Perez

Lola*

Komikall

Yeah, the King's brain is insanely primal and unsentimental. Literally just wants to eat the moment he steps out the womb. He can't even value life that can't defend itself. He probably sees humans more as plants than as animals. Just something waiting to be used and consume. Not really his fault though. He can't exactly help being born like that. It is, however, extremely fucking frightening. Xenomorph levels of fear when combined with his hyper intelligence. He got the divine right to be called King under Darwinism.

Rare

"I just buried all of them. Not even Joking." -Lola, The Undertaker Lola to the King: I still have hope for him. Lola to Gon's Dad: Who gives a fuck about you? 🤣🤣🤣 Also. Lola. When they say Knuckle is on the same level as Kite. They only meant in terms of their physical strength. Kite, I believe is still far more powerful overall than Knuckle in all other aspects. Experience, agility, versatility, Nen volume, etc. Just a small disagreement that doesn't really matter to what you were saying.

Kevin Inoj Perez

I have always thought that the design of the king might bear some similarities to Cell and Freezer from Dragon Ball Z. I am referring only to their appearance, not his character. I suppose it's some kind of tribute from the author of HxH. Also, the king appears to behave here like a spoiled, immature, narcissistic brat who nobody can control.

refo44

another moment where hxh completely subverts your expectations, I would never have imagined that one of the ants would go up to one of ours with a white flag, like wtf? But it's the only thing Colt could do for the queen, so it makes perfect sense.

Wallas

Thank you LM for your post today - and more importantly, I hope both of you are safe and secure after hearing news about the mass protests in your home city of Belgrade following your election troubles. God Bless you two and your beautiful country.

Coach John

the King said that he doesn't want to know if what he is going to eat is a nen user, it's funnier to not know so he doesn't use Gyo

Yū Nishinoya

Merry Christmas to you

Wallas

Good job, Milena! This is the best HxH arc. Do not make me repeat myself.

Kevin Inoj Perez

What a Christmas gift, thank you both

D

honestly i’m all alone and sick this Christmas so this really cheered me up to watch some Hunter Hunter reacts. Love rewatching this show and see you girls reactions and commentary . Thank you ❤️ Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas

Wandering

so the king's guard are The Three Wise Men?

refo44

Then he doesn’t even like the taste and spits them out in front of her just horrifically cruel lol

Wandering

Hark! The Royal Ant Guards sing Glory to the new-born King Doom to earth and violence wild Queen and Soldiers trust defiled.

Antonio

The king is Jesus confirmed 👑

Cole

deserved, I wish he would stop talking from this point lol

Harfie

The Discord is just for us regular users to hang out and discuss shows further than we would on Patron. I see where you're coming from with regards to recommending shows, but given how frequently they read the comments they're well aware of everything we recommend them as is, so the recommendation channel on the server is more so for our own sake.

TeaDrinker3000

I do disagree a bit about you saying Gon losing because of physical weakness, I think that's the last thing he's lacking. You could say that Knuckle's power counters Gon's and that he's just stronger physically, and while both are true statements, I think Gon's biggest problem currently is that he has trouble with problems that can't be solved through pure power and determination, something that's kind of inherent to enhancer personalities. Although the full fight wasn't shown, you could tell that Gon never came up with any plan and just tried to face it head on like he always does, and when plan A doesn't work for Gon it's kind of over. Killua you obviously are right about, he has the opposite problem as Gon, he's extremely clever and can make elaborate plans, he just is very insecure and gives up easily.

Nina

The king killing the narrator of the show just like that was cold... (he voices Peggy)

HenryM

Are the girls privy to this? Will they be involved? How much? I’d hate for people to be recommending shows in the Discord and them not even paying any attention to it.

Jay

I will reserve my opinion about the king and his personality since you just got introduced to him and I could spoil some things. I’m glad we skipped the conclusion of the fight between Gon, Killua and Shoot/Knuckles. I feel this time things regarding the story are moving forward. Now, I’m not gonna lie, it kinda breaks my heart to see my boi Gon crying because of his weakness ;__;

Jack SV

ive been waiting for this after how excited you guys were about the idea of the king being born on christmas hahaha

Amber

The moment the show lingers on the little girl breaking down in tears after watching her parents die is the point I fully realized the depths of darkness this show was willing to go. One of many points that make you wonder if you're watching the same happy shounen from the first episodes. The brilliance of HxH is how it regularly subverts your expectations in ways that don't feel cheap. Like Killua and Gon losing. We assume they'll win because they're the main characters, right? Not in HxH.

David Holmes

oh my god yeaaaa

alon

As someone that has seen it all before, it was really hilarious seeing you react to the king killing some of your favorite ants. But boy does it stay nauseating watching a small child lose their parents and then die right after, could've done without rewatching that bit again. Defenseless children being hurt is something I can't ever stomach.

Nina

I remember there was a moment in episode 81's reaction where one of you said the king will probably be born in 10 episodes, before you started with the actual guesses in later episodes lol

Zombor

Lola, just so you know, you both guessed 91 back in episode 81. You both forgot later on :P

Isaac

Merry Christmas Ladies!

TuiLa4

The King arrives

Danny

I love Hunter x Hunter so much, it made absolutely no sense for Gon and Killua to win against Knuckle and Shoot so they don't win, it's that simple, they didn't just win because they are the main characters and needed to go to the NGL lol

Dominic Logan

SOO EXCITED TO WATCH! <3

Komikall

Posting this one last time for the Hunter fans who may not be following the other shows. I'm after putting together a Discord for us regular Patrons to discuss the shows further. There's separate channels for discussing shows with full series spoilers, or for no spoilers past the latest episode reacted to. There's also a channel for recommending series and anything else to one another, something we haven't been able to do since Patron got rid of Member Posts/Community tab, as well as the spreadsheet detailing everything the girls have/haven't watched. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas! https://discord.gg/YsJNAxbz

TeaDrinker3000

Then Jesus was born ...welcome Meruem 🙏

Wallas

This is a perfect Christmas gift. The king is finally born🥳

Cole

one of the best episodes of the whole show imo
