Comments

Only in the Japanese version I believe.

Did you guys know child gojo and killua have the same voice actor? 🤔

To be fair gon and killua also ran the same amount as the a Examiner without getting tired

The reveal of nen really contextualises a lot of the things we saw previously in the series. The first examiner could run for over 2 marathons straight without tiring, because Ten has strengthened his body. Hisoka can kill with playing cards because he uses Nen to strengthen them into razors. Netero could take Killua and Gon's attacks without blocking because Ten was protecting his body. Hisoka and Illumi have used Ren to intimidate them. Zebro uses Ren to increase his strength to open the Testing Gate.

whenever hisoka has sliced or killed people with his cards he’s done the same thing as wing with the paper!

Certain eps that contradict that view are gone because fun😁😁

Phoenix Mackenzie

Im excited for this arc

dannydarko27

clocking netero about age was a good catch...

Montana often decides she doesnt like something and just commits to fully hating it

Interesting lore drop about Montana learning mandarin coz I currently live and study in china

Mahatane Malcom

the hisoka disrespect is so stupid

Monster FAME

Finally! HxH really pulled me in after Nen got introduced. Nen is widely considered to be in the top 3 (if not the #1) anime power system. So many anime’s take inspiration from HxH. I’m excited to see if you recognize similarities from shows you’ve already seen.

Awhhh man💔

Peachteasbiggestfan

I might buy that, ngl 😅

Hisoka did actually use nen in the hunter exam. He used it to make his cards lethal weapons and when he was expressing his bloodlust on the island and nearly scared gon off he was expressing malicious aura

Mortis

Those two are the equivalent of someone who would stay out in freezing temperatures until they became hospitalised to prove they're strong, hisoka realised their "bravery"(read dumbassery/stupidity) and stopped them risking serious harm or death🤷 I love that detail tbh, like regardless of anything else he does care for gon(at leasts) wellbeing and doesn't want him genuinely harmed(or worse)

Phoenix Mackenzie

Relating Nen to Cursed Energy is spot on. Cursed Energy took A LOT of its ideas from Togashi's Nen, but honestly a lot of anime's power systems are at least somewhat inspired by Nen, it's one of the Gold Standards of power systems in anime.

Rob Carlstrom

Montana’s explanations were so spot on this episode!

It was in the poll they did 3 days ago but it didn’t win

To clear up some confusion regarding the kanji used in Wing's explanation of Nen (No spoilers): 燃 (nen), the first kanji Wing uses, means burn/blaze, and is often used in compounds associated with fire, fuel, and being fired up (emotionally). It isn't actually a part of HxH's power system or anything; Wing was just trying to get the boys to strengthen themselves mentally/spiritually in general. 念 (nen), the true kanji he reveals after, means idea/thought/sense, and is used for many different psychological concepts like (信念 shinnen, faith/conviction), (残念, zannen, disappointing/regrettable) or (疑念 ginen, doubt/suspicion). This is the one that has a specific meaning within the HxH universe, and is related to the power system. This subtext is a lot more obvious to viewers who know the kanji and the meanings associated with them, and gets lost in translation because they're simply homophones that don't mean anything to the English ear. HxH's power system is pretty simple, so if you think you're overthinking it, you probably are. It's just Nen, with some extra details you find out later.

Kenny might need to make a bird motif shirt 😂

Justin Spencer

That will NEVER die 😅

H-Bomb 24

*bird motif 😂

Justin Spencer

I know this is mostly unrelated but are you guys planning on reacting to my hero academia vigilantes? It’s VERY good (also Dr stone but vigilantes is connected to one you’re already watching)

Lui the Bean

the predictions you guys blurt out are so funny lmao, this is definitely one of my favorite episodes and is one of the more memorable ones from the beginning archs

Tyler Stone

YASSS MY FAVORITE HISOKA OUTFIT!!! man I love Hisoka. He is the true Hunter Hunter. Also, Hisoka is basically protecting them right there. My dear clown didn't let them through because they wouldn't have been able to protect themselves.

patricia jimjimcherie

Probably after the LVM. Castlevania is after all a western show so why not.

Ramon Fax!

Oh man. Well if you're checking them out now that's fine.

Ramon Fax!

I love ne so much I literally made my own nen ability yes I am a huge nerd

Elijah Wilson

Fair, but I can dream, can't I?

H-Bomb 24

I more mean like chakra as in the real world usage of the word not naruto haha

Letts React

We totally forgot till ep 2x7 sadly 😭😭

Letts React

Don't forget to watch the little Hunter Pedia segment at the end of every episode.

Ramon Fax!

No it's already been decided that it's going to be Vinland Saga after Solo Leveling and Second place was Mob Psycho 100, so that will most likely replace Frieren.

Ramon Fax!

Introduction to nen is going to make us feel like a newbie. But keep watching and it will be a walk in the park.

Popsus

I mean, doesn't Kenny also look like a Belmont? Cause I think he looks JUST like Richter in Nocturne.

H-Bomb 24

9th. I really gotta put it together. Daylight savings time put me back xD.

Popsus

I think since the hunter exam was more based on if someone could withstand and do dangerous things with a slight care of who actually lives to pass regardless if you do or don't use nen, so now that they need to actually learn nen it kinda makes since coming from the fact Gon lived on wale island not knowing anything but just his dad left him to go do the Hunter exam not knowing he needed to also know nen was expected do to the lack of information his aunt Mito knew of and well the authors view for the viewers. Or that's my take on the first question lol

Babybear47

Y'all are forgetting that that gon basically grew up in the mountains his entire life which absolutely added to his up bringing. Just because he wasn't trained like killua doesn't mean he didn't have a up bringing that wasn't tough for the average person . You gotta remember he basically trained his entire life in a environment less then normal to grab a fish that about equal to a full grown whale shark as a child.

“like chakra” nope, chakra is based off nen😭, most complex power systems like jujitsu kaisen is also based on nen

Tyshawn Evans

I just started Netflix's Castlevania, and that, along with its sequel series Nocturne, should DEFINITELY come after either Solo Leveling or Frieiren.

H-Bomb 24

Satur X Day?

H-Bomb 24

It's hard to come up with wordplay between Hunter X Hunter and Saturday.
