Voice acting was TOP TIER in this episode. Gon isnt a cute little cat anymore 👀 Episode 131 is out now over on Patreon! www.patreon.com/carlie_and_ange
Here's a brilliant aspect of this arc - in episode 109 Carlie and Ange predicted that Gon would be the only party to stray from the plan, for selfish reasons. But Togashi surprised us - in episode 116 Gon actually wanted to stick to the plan...for selfish reasons, because he wanted vengeance against Pitou. It was Killua and some others from the team (Netero, Zeno) that strayed from the plan, and let Pitou heal Komugi. Togashi intentionally subverted expectations here, and did a great job of it.
@@ImaBobbyMuddahim threatening to kill komugi just further solidifies the foreshadowing... kite's whole point with saying that is that if gon ever ran into an ant like that, his morals would fall apart. Which is exactly what happened.
Im pretty sure Kite was talking about the fact that Gon wouldnt be able to carry out the mission of killing Ants that care for its comrades, but still pose a real threat to his and other humans lives, thus putting himself and others at risk.
27:20 Gon also had an outburst durning York New arc, when Phantom Troupe captured them and Nobunaga was mourning death of a Uvogin. In Gon's mind evil people are only capable of evil, so any time his world view challenged he is having really hard time maintaining composure.
Well said! It's such a good way to remind you that he's still a kid. He's quick to label evil and good without looking at the complexities of a person. It's easier especially if it serves a narrative he favours!
@@shinkurasha8061 It's a bit more complex than just evil and good. It's more about right or wrong. Killing people is evil, but Killua also does it. But Killua is someone on the 'right' for Gon, so he is fine with him. God I love gon
@@the_bigfriv9401 Not even. Gon's "morality", or rather lack thereof, is basically that of an animal. All the brutality of nature is perfectly acceptable. When he can't understand the motives or methods someone uses, it makes him angry. He acts like he's got some kind of moral disposition against such people, but it's nothing of the sort. He's just scouring for a way to condemn them so he doesn't have to understand them. He always extends understanding to his allies but entirely neglects to do so for anyone else. The only reason he has any kind of pseudo-moral position against the Troupe or the Chimera Ants is partially because they don't follow _his_ way of living, but mostly because they've made themselves his enemies. If his allies behaved in _the exact_ same way as any of his enemies, Gon would not condemn them much less bear the kind of unbridled rage he's shown towards Pitou or have any sort of reasoning to fight them as he did the Phantom Troupe. Gon is not a morally complicated character, nor is he any sort of hero. He's so selfish that he's willing to permanently disfigure himself AND his allies to accomplish his goals. He only gets a pass from the fanbase because of his affable personality. He can watch a total stranger being eviscerated with an honest to God smile on his face... as long as his ally is winning. If it was the other way around, he start in with his disgust for their actions. Every character in this show is an immensely flawed person, and Gon is no different.
@@trajectoryunown what a lot o nonsense, Gon will not tolerate someone doing horrible things because they are his friends, contrary he did not wanted Kurapika to have to kill. Gon was mad in here, and stilll he did do anything really bad.
@@trajectoryunown This is what watching too many video essays does to your brain. Gon goes out of his way to save innocent people multiple times, he also never tolerates his friends doing bad things either. Where did you even get that idea from? Literally nothing you said is backed up by anything in the story.
I'd describe Pitou as the most loyal of the guards. Youpi's loyalty is simple and without thought, while Shaia is jealous and wants to preserve his ideal of what the King should be. Pitou is loyal to the King, no matter how he changes.
That was kind of shown when he asked them about his name weren’t it? Pouf just called him king, youpi wasn’t smart enough to answer and pitou said for him to choose whichever name he thinks is best.
Ep 116 for me is one of the saddest episodes I've watched. I'm sad for Killua for not reaching Gon, Gon for losing Kite, Pitou for having to beg to heal Komugi and Komugi for being the most innocent victim in the situation
Gon's rage is one for the history books. The buildup to his break down was done so incredibly well. When Gon just dismisses off Killua's pain it just broke my heart. There's something about Killua, when he gets heartbroken it hits so much harder than it has any right to be. Love your reactions..You guys are one of the best reactors to HxH!
Also, its true. The whole situation didn't mean 2 shits to Killua. Killua never cared for Kite. Literally the only reason he was here was because Gon was here. In this scenario Killua and Pitou are the same where they don't actually care about Komugi or Kite but they have a duty to fulfill
11:43 good catch here. Yep she doesn't know who Kite is. At this point Pitou would agree to any condition and any terms in order to make sure she can fulfill the king's orders and heal Komugi.
also important to note about shoot and knuckle, is that they are kinda like hannes and eren. hannes said to eren, your mother died because you lacked the strength, but it was because i lacked the courage! gon and killua had the heart but needed the strength. shoot and knuckle are very capable, but shoot was a coward and knuckle is a softy. but now they’ve finally gained the courage and tenacity to put their lives on the line for the first time in their life, and this is how their newfound rock hard resolve is treated by youpi
Gons extreme love for Kite is so underdeveloped. It's just something you have to accept. However, it results in some great moments. I rmmber buying new headphones and rewatching that scene with Gon, his emotions fully on display. Extremely fantastic voice acting from Megumi 🔥 First time when voice acting really stood out to me. Ange was amazing with pointing out Pitou probbly doesn't know who tf kite is 😂 only streamer I've seen say tht
I have to say that you guys are absolutely brilliant when it comes to understanding the complex story telling and character writing. I've seen so many reactors just get hype and really ignore that build up and complexity but both of you are amazing at explaining it and expressing your POV.
13:09 YOOOOO i gotta say, ive watched countless reactions to this episode and carlie is the ONLY person i've seen notice zeno dodging the rubble. It's honestly one of my favorite little animation details in the series. Zeno is such a badass.
I think everybody notices but they're too shocked by the fact that Cheetu just got demolished to comment on it. I was the same way when I saw it for the first time, my mind registered it but then completely forgot about it when I saw Silva.
There was a timer in the manga for the initial fight with Youpi. Shoot flying on his hand to fight Youpi then collapsing was the first 22 seconds of the mission.
31:40 I mean even if she knew who Kite was, she’d still 100% lie and tell him yes… telling him “yes” was the only way he’d calm down enough for her to finish healing Komugi.
Also, that moment at the start, when Pitou looks over her shoulder to see Gon is meant as a parallel when they first met. When she jumped at kite and they crossed eyes for the first time
I hope at the end of this you guys watch the edit of these few episodes (not necessarily react, but in your own time,) which shows the first 2 minutes of the palace invasion in real time. It really is insane how much is happening at once.
i feel you a bit about zeno and killua, but i see it like this; zeno expects killua to be the head but finds it necessary to let him grow freely with new experiences. but at the same time, he allows obstacles to get in killua’s way in order to contribute to his development and such. zeno himself could have never met a friend such as netero if he was monitored and confined his whole life. killua’s talent was likely assessed at age 4 or 5, and then his path for the head of the zoldyck household was likely verified by zeno and silva when killua was around 9 or so shortly before killua enlists in the hunter exam. so zeno has a lot of hopes for killua and knows his capabilities, but he also understands that if killua dies or gets himself into trouble, he’s gotta deal with that like a man, considering how mature and capable zeno knows killua is. thus, when he figures he’s removed illumi’s needle, it’s just further proof that killua is progressing and zeno expects as much from the one he declared had the potential to be the head of the zoldycks. the true morals or “code” of the zoldycks is a bit more noble than we are let on. silva respects friendship, and zeno is close friends with netero and even still looks up to him in the present day. killua has that sort of nobility that is missing from the other zoldycks, except for the heads of the family: zeno, silva, and eventually killua
I mean take Gon's perspective. If someone kills your friends or family and makes them into a puppet just for fun but you have to wait and trust them because they have a family too. It's kinda stupid. If wasn't because of what Killua said, Gon should kill Pitou right away.
But there’s no reason to to kill Pitou right away, especially after Pitou broke her arm and offered even more injuries in order to prove she’s not lying. All attacking Pitou now would do is kill Komugi.
@@kingintox5743 Killua can use his skill to find help in no time because there is a medical team on standby. And I said Gon should kill Pitou right away just to poof the point that Gon has the right to do so much worse. People think Gon is going for a kill when all Gon wants just to defeat Pitou in a battle so Pitou will bring Kite back. Gon even suggests they go outside to fight. It's not fair to think Gon is the bad guy when he still doing the best he can.
@@haexelkGon LITERALLY threatened to kill Komugi, threatening the life of an innocent DYING girl just to get his own way. Put the life of someone unrelated to him personally for his own goal - the EXACT same thing he was chiding Chrollo and by extension the Troupe for. Thats Gon's critical character flaw, as long as the person or action is either interesting or valuable to Gon, he is happy to accept it (hence why he was so amicable to Binolt the scissor guy Greed Island because he helped them get stronger and never calls out Hisoka for his killings because Hisoka is a goal to surpass and helps him get stronger) but cannot fathom that someone he has deemed "wrong" Can have their own connections or reasons. Its why he always gets angry when the Troupe and later Pitou don't fit into his childish worldview. Of course he is a child so there isn't anything inherently too wrong with it but it is an incredibly dangerous worldview (something even Kite noticed after that Armadillo fight) and the series just shows how warped Gon can get because of this. Just because Gon has a valid grudge against Pitou (no matter how undercooked his bond with Kite is even by the manga standards), doesn't mean that all his actions are ok.
@@sammydray5919 Now you are jumping the episode. Do you remember who's the one that Gon told to keep Komugi when they go to Peijin? That's right, the one guy who still thinks he can talk to the ants even right before he gets in the portal. Do you really think Gon is stupid enough to think Knuckle will ever kill an innocent blind girl? The threat is real only because Peto doesn't know Knuckle. Back in York New city, that guy already said that Gon's problem is that Gon didn't have a moral in judging people. And he still didn't have one now. But that doesn't mean he didn't care for his friends. He runs back for his friends to help them escape Hisoka in the Hunter exam no matter how undercooked his bond with Kurapika and Leorio is in episode 5 even by the manga standards. He jumps off the ship to save a stranger in episode 1. Now he goes to get his friend back, the one friend who lost his arm because he tried to save them. And you say he's the bad guy? And what he does is wrong? The series is trying to bring readers to see both sides of the story. But a lot of people just remember the last side they see and forget what happened in the first place. The mistake they make is forgetting how long this series can go, and how short-memory people are.
Did u notice the colour of Gons Nen? every Nen we saw was either white or somehow colourful, even the Kings aura is Purpule, but Gons just turned black, with red shadows. I find that to be the most unsettling change about him
Remember when gon loved animals, yet now he’s referring to pitou as ‘this thing’ I understand why but Gon’s downfall was so sad yet so masterful cause it makes soooo much sense
If you don’t believe the 3 min there are videos here on TH-cam where people edited the whole invasion in real time !! Def a fun look into what togasghi had in mind and how it looks when you see all the scenes happening at once
One of my favourite episodes of the series! Powerful voice acting, it's incredible. Don't listen to the people just writing bait comments to get a reaction out of people :D
Gons rage is not only reasoned by his actual relationship with kite (that is cut short), but rather his only connection to his father being kite and his guilt. As mentioned in the episode where gon first meets Melereon, and he says he would not be able to forgive himself.
hmm, 2 of them are defending a ant king that kills and eats humans including children and is preparing to kill hundreds of thousands of people and the other 2 want to stop them... totally the same btw
The voice acting for Gon in this episode is some of the best I've seen in anime. Its up their with Eren from AOT and Subaru from Re: Zero. Give me chills every time
There is a really cool video showing palace invasion in real time - it only feels like 3 hours cause we see each scene in sequence but they all do happen at the same time. Great reaction!
Something that is absolutely bananas to try to watch, is someone edited the invasion in "real time" and it's so well done, it really puts into perspective how good the writing is.🐼
27:24 Yes exactly! good one Ange 👍and glad you gave up quickly the 'Gon is a monster' conclusion...(sounds cool but wrong) Carlie was right, everything Gon Knuckle and Shoot did came from their human feelings, and we are able to feel for the ants now only bc they're showing a positive side of human feelings (even though the loyalty they have comes originally from their ant nature, but the human mix makes it more nuanced/complex as we go)... but they're still very much ants first and foremost and Pitou was 100% loyal and 100% lying... even though like you realized she didn't remember who Kite was, she still would lie bc the King's order is the priority and she's willing to die for it
killua didnt actually "leave" gon. with the way things mellowed down, he was assured neither gon or pitou would do smt stupid and break their promise if they wanted to achieve their goals. so killua moved to help out with other missions
21:28 In DBZ they lie about the duration because the fights take place in just one scenario But it was really 3 minutes because the episodes went on showing several different scenarios
Gon's rage is one of the best or the best out of all anime rages. The VA, the effects, the animation, the moment everything is so good. It's almost perfect other than the fact that the reason behind it is so shallow for him to go that far. The anime didn't give enough moments for Gon to go that far for Kite.
People are surprised,but this is not the first time Gon behaved like that. Back in the YORK NEW Arc Gon was yelling at Nobunaga for being able to care about their falen comrades and not giving any of that compassion for people who THEY murder. IT's the same thing as with Pitou now,because she does care,but not for who mshe should -someone important to Gon.
If I'm honest, I don't think our boy would have any chance against pitou.... however, it is quite impressive how gon would prove to be much scarier than any other monster, representing how a “LITTLE ANT” can have a much more THREATENING precense than a dinosaur like pitou.
17:30 I've noticed that in most of these reactions, most women tend to find Knucle and Shoot's attitude dumb and irresponsible while most men, while they might not justify it, they just get it. I feel like as men we tend to empathize more with the warrior's spirit, the feeling of being dishonored and the strong urge to correct that any way we can. Sometimes, there truly are things more important than the world.
Glad you guys already see what the author’s doing. More of the theme of humans as monsters (and monsters being capable of being human) in the remainder of the arc.
If I may add, I specially consider brilliant how killua, was able not only to remain calm but come up with some huge insights. Im sorry Gon lovers. In addition, he is, for me, the mvp here, even tho Gon seems to catch the eye of many, even of my lovely but weird surgeon with cat ears Im not jealous, Im sorry again. 😂Cheers to you both thanks for sharing some love! Peace
Asking for mercy after decapitating and torturing someone's father figure is insane! this is why i couldn't be an mc and why i respect gon,i would have killed her right there and let that kid go see her creator just to cause emotional trauma to pito and her king. (if she dies,she dies) - Ivan drago
Fun fact: the “since it means nothing to you” line is a slight mistranslation. The actual translation is along the lines of: “because this is none of your business” or “because this has nothing to do with you” Basically, Gon is telling Killua this: “this is my personal mission and you need to stay out of it”
I don't know if it was a different translation or I am just misremembering it but I also recall the line being "because Kite meant nothing to you" or something of the like.
@@Vael221 honestly my friend, that line has confused me for a long while now but given the context, Gon is most likely saying this to Killua: “killua, the reason why you’re calm is because this situation has nothing to do with you” So, basically Gon excluded Killua from the mission to defeat Pitou meaning that Gon was willing to go down in flames by himself
It's always funny to see female reactors always don't get why Knuckle stayed to fight Youpi for the pride of his fallen friend but the dudes are always like "Some things are more important than life" 🤣
One thing that people forget about this conflict between Gon and Pitou is that the reason for Gon's anger is not just because of Kite. Of course it's the main reason, but one thing that the anime shows throughout the journey is that Gon is an extremely selfish character. Remember the times he was selfish against Hisoka, Genthuru, Razor or even the Troupe. The issue is that in addition to Pitou killing Kaito, she hurt Gon's ego. So much so that we see him cry with rage for recognizing his weakness in the training arc against Knuckle. This, to me, is what makes his anger make sense, and of course, he feels guilty about Kaito's death, since he believed that Kaito wouldn't die if he was alone
Pretty sure he was talking about the moment Meruem walked past him and Netero. There's no reason his time would be compressed when Netero was attacking Pitou.

Gons rage is CHILLING! some of the best VA work !
Gon’s rage moments are definitely the best I’ve seen in anime. Its not meant to be badass like 99% of rage moments are, its meant to be tragic

That's actually a nice observation.
Episode 116 was the foreshadowing where kite worried about of what could happen if Gon meets a Chimera ant that cares about its own comrades.
Ehh, a little. He still threatened to kill komugi soon after
that's the thing: in a situation like this gon loses his mind@@ImaBobbyMudda
@@ImaBobbyMuddahim threatening to kill komugi just further solidifies the foreshadowing... kite's whole point with saying that is that if gon ever ran into an ant like that, his morals would fall apart. Which is exactly what happened.

It breaks my heart every time, that last scene between Gon and Killua. Where a rift on their friendship was born with total silence. Dayum!

That's right, the one guy who still thinks he can talk to the ants even right before he gets in the portal. Do you really think Gon is stupid enough to think Knuckle will ever kill an innocent blind girl? The threat is real only because Peto doesn't know Knuckle. Back in York New city, that guy already said that Gon's problem is that Gon didn't have a moral in judging people. And he still didn't have one now. But that doesn't mean he didn't care for his friends. He runs back for his friends to help them escape Hisoka in the Hunter exam no matter how undercooked his bond with Kurapika and Leorio is in episode 5 even by the manga standards. He jumps off the ship to save a stranger in episode 1. Now he goes to get his friend back, the one friend who lost his arm because he tried to save them. And you say he's the bad guy? And what he does is wrong? The series is trying to bring readers to see both sides of the story. But a lot of people just remember the last side they see and forget what happened in the first place. The mistake they make is forgetting how long this series can go, and how short-memory people are.
In the manga and the old series kite was introduced in 1st ep
It's funny. I remember Ange saying he wasn't a fan of Kite dying so early, and tbh I wasn't either... until episode 116.
Did u notice the colour of Gons Nen? every Nen we saw was either white or somehow colourful, even the Kings aura is Purpule, but Gons just turned black, with red shadows. I find that to be the most unsettling change about him
That's actually one of the manliest lines in anime. "There's something more important than the world right now " referring to his pride
Remember when gon loved animals, yet now he’s referring to pitou as ‘this thing’ I understand why but Gon’s downfall was so sad yet so masterful cause it makes soooo much sense
If you don’t believe the 3 min there are videos here on TH-cam where people edited the whole invasion in real time !! Def a fun look into what togasghi had in mind and how it looks when you see all the scenes happening at once
This is PEAK Gon right here!
This episode not only showcases some of the best voice acting ever but also the artwork and expressions gon makes is Top Tier i can feel the hatred
Knucle
What a man,what a warrior
"Remeber me?" -Gon said calmly
"I'm with you-pi"... Brilliant Carlie 😂😂😂
I hate how Killua straight up lies to Gon that we wouldn't get Kite back if you kill pitou.
One of my favourite episodes of the series! Powerful voice acting, it's incredible. Don't listen to the people just writing bait comments to get a reaction out of people :D
Gons rage is not only reasoned by his actual relationship with kite (that is cut short), but rather his only connection to his father being kite and his guilt. As mentioned in the episode where gon first meets Melereon, and he says he would not be able to forgive himself.
Gon and Killua are essentially Pitou and Youpi
Pouf=Tompa, based on annoyance
hmm, 2 of them are defending a ant king that kills and eats humans including children and is preparing to kill hundreds of thousands of people and the other 2 want to stop them... totally the same btw
O M G, the voice actor is GUN.
GON LOST HIS SHIT!
I can't wait to see Carlie & Ange reactions moving forward ❤
27:32 It’s also what we JUST heard Ikago say in regards to Palm just a couple episodes ago
The voice acting for Gon in this episode is some of the best I've seen in anime. Its up their with Eren from AOT and Subaru from Re: Zero. Give me chills every time
Almost 200k subs! Congratulations in advance Carlie and Angelo!
Thanks legend ❤️
@@CarlieAndAngelet's celebrate it with a reaction to JoJo's openings
I really wanted to see Cheetu's technique xD
Cheetu is so useless to the story, but he's so entertaining
There is a really cool video showing palace invasion in real time - it only feels like 3 hours cause we see each scene in sequence but they all do happen at the same time. Great reaction!
Something that is absolutely bananas to try to watch, is someone edited the invasion in "real time" and it's so well done, it really puts into perspective how good the writing is.🐼
27:24 Yes exactly! good one Ange 👍and glad you gave up quickly the 'Gon is a monster' conclusion...(sounds cool but wrong)
Carlie was right, everything Gon Knuckle and Shoot did came from their human feelings, and we are able to feel for the ants now only bc they're showing a positive side of human feelings (even though the loyalty they have comes originally from their ant nature, but the human mix makes it more nuanced/complex as we go)... but they're still very much ants first and foremost and Pitou was 100% loyal and 100% lying... even though like you realized she didn't remember who Kite was, she still would lie bc the King's order is the priority and she's willing to die for it
killua didnt actually "leave" gon. with the way things mellowed down, he was assured neither gon or pitou would do smt stupid and break their promise if they wanted to achieve their goals. so killua moved to help out with other missions
I'm so eager to see their reaction to Gon's rasetsu
punching an insanely powerful beast in the face just because it insulted your bro is so badass
Gons’ rage is one of the most important episodes to me all these years later
Peak x and x Peak incoming
21:28 In DBZ they lie about the duration because the fights take place in just one scenario
But it was really 3 minutes because the episodes went on showing several different scenarios
Please watch "march comes in like a lion" it's my favourite anime ever. And I am certain that you two would absolutely love it!
Masterpiece. If they liked Your Lie in April and Violet Evergarden, they'll love this
Gon's rage is one of the best or the best out of all anime rages. The VA, the effects, the animation, the moment everything is so good. It's almost perfect other than the fact that the reason behind it is so shallow for him to go that far. The anime didn't give enough moments for Gon to go that far for Kite.
People are surprised,but this is not the first time Gon behaved like that. Back in the YORK NEW Arc Gon was yelling at Nobunaga for being able to care about their falen comrades and not giving any of that compassion for people who THEY murder. IT's the same thing as with Pitou now,because she does care,but not for who mshe should -someone important to Gon.
this is the only channel I click like before watching the video lol
10:34 Carlie easily cry on touching moment...She's just like the female version of Knuckle...I bet she's kind too, like Knuckle..
This is what I'm waiting for since Ange observed that Gon is selfish
If I'm honest, I don't think our boy would have any chance against pitou.... however, it is quite impressive how gon would prove to be much scarier than any other monster, representing how a “LITTLE ANT” can have a much more THREATENING precense than a dinosaur like pitou.
Top hunters cant react to Chitah
And Silva just wash him with one touch🤩🤩🤩
I always love the op covers lol
I think pitou can assume who kite is since he was with gon and killua
Gon off the deep end 🤣
17:30 I've noticed that in most of these reactions, most women tend to find Knucle and Shoot's attitude dumb and irresponsible while most men, while they might not justify it, they just get it. I feel like as men we tend to empathize more with the warrior's spirit, the feeling of being dishonored and the strong urge to correct that any way we can. Sometimes, there truly are things more important than the world.
Glad you guys already see what the author’s doing. More of the theme of humans as monsters (and monsters being capable of being human) in the remainder of the arc.
ゴンのオーラ凄いな
If I may add, I specially consider brilliant how killua, was able not only to remain calm but come up with some huge insights. Im sorry Gon lovers. In addition, he is, for me, the mvp here, even tho Gon seems to catch the eye of many, even of my lovely but weird surgeon with cat ears Im not jealous, Im sorry again. 😂Cheers to you both thanks for sharing some love! Peace
Love your reactions and I can’t wait for you to see more of hunter x hunter :)
Asking for mercy after decapitating and torturing someone's father figure is insane!
this is why i couldn't be an mc and why i respect gon,i would have killed her right there and let that kid go see her creator just to cause emotional trauma to pito and her king.
(if she dies,she dies) - Ivan drago
didnt show the best part is crazy. thank you editor youre the best
"I'll do the talking here"
" you have it easy killua"
💔😶
This was just the second role for megumi han (gon's VA) in her career 🫡
Yessir soon as I click on TH-cam 😂🔥🔥
Fun fact: the “since it means nothing to you” line is a slight mistranslation. The actual translation is along the lines of: “because this is none of your business” or “because this has nothing to do with you”
Basically, Gon is telling Killua this: “this is my personal mission and you need to stay out of it”
I don't know if it was a different translation or I am just misremembering it but I also recall the line being "because Kite meant nothing to you" or something of the like.
@@Vael221 honestly my friend, that line has confused me for a long while now but given the context, Gon is most likely saying this to Killua: “killua, the reason why you’re calm is because this situation has nothing to do with you”
So, basically Gon excluded Killua from the mission to defeat Pitou meaning that Gon was willing to go down in flames by himself
Funnily enough, the dub got the line right. I think dub Gon says something along the lines of "since its not your fight"
I don't really see the difference. The line we have can easily be taken that way and I always felt that's what Gon was saying anyway.
Second watch, reread the title… “Gon Snaps” 😂 these you know better now.
Épico, o maior rage moment dos animes pra mim
It's always funny to see female reactors always don't get why Knuckle stayed to fight Youpi for the pride of his fallen friend but the dudes are always like "Some things are more important than life" 🤣
crazy how Youpi whooped Shoot's ass in less than a minute
Not really considering how hyped up the royal guard were, if shoot soloed it would have made them look like a joke
@@andrewlynch4126 yea but less than a minute tho......
gon
3 mins is crazy but if you actually look at things which have happened probably really 3 mins have passed.
HxH 🔥
One thing that people forget about this conflict between Gon and Pitou is that the reason for Gon's anger is not just because of Kite. Of course it's the main reason, but one thing that the anime shows throughout the journey is that Gon is an extremely selfish character. Remember the times he was selfish against Hisoka, Genthuru, Razor or even the Troupe. The issue is that in addition to Pitou killing Kaito, she hurt Gon's ego. So much so that we see him cry with rage for recognizing his weakness in the training arc against Knuckle. This, to me, is what makes his anger make sense, and of course, he feels guilty about Kaito's death, since he believed that Kaito wouldn't die if he was alone
Carlie is so pretty.
Gooo 🔥🔥🔥
He is a kid alright
This is the exact moment gon became Heisenberg
Youpi found his life purpose through post-nut clarity
3:05 why is it disgusting? lol
All going down at once, you can time each scene perfectly together to get 3min each. I'm just bullshitting, but thanks for reading
I really dislike Gon here, I wish they had put more time on Kite and Gon relationship😅
PEAK
i just noticed zeno saying i just had something super rare happen to me "time compressed" that means he saw what happened between netero and pitou
Pretty sure he was talking about the moment Meruem walked past him and Netero. There's no reason his time would be compressed when Netero was attacking Pitou.
please do a reaction video for korean drama titled My love from the Star pleaseeeeeEEEEEEEE
