Fun fact : Dwun is an accurate and completely self aware representation of Hunter X Hunter's author, Yoshihiro Togashi. One of the most famous photos of him is him in an room filled with garbage and takeway food leftovers, playing videogames on a small TV, like Dwun does when Gon enters...
Also, that's how Togashi scored Naoko Takeuchi - Sailor Moon's author. Takeuchi has said several times that her favorite type of man is one that's kind and caring, but also socially awkward and a slob. And Togashi aced everything.
I am still daunted by how long CA arc is. We are on ep 75 of how many, and we only have the election left. And that final Gungi game, the lap pillow. God!
Ging's gamertag Gon and Killua's "tans" That one dude with an ability called "Eleven Black Children" The holy trinity of things that didn't translate well in this show 😅
@@amuro9624 I can imagine Ging's youtube apology "Look back in the day people were allowed to say what they wanted, I for one haven't gotten better in fact I"VE BECOME WORSE Since I used that username!"
@@amuro9624 What's worse is it's not Ging's username, it's the name he used for someone else. It's like letting your friend pick your username and he picks the worst one he can think of.
@@ZuperNEZ It is Ging's nickname, it was on Gon's binder and he never met Kite inside the game. They show later on that Ging had arrange that if Gon uses Magnetic Force is going to teleport to him, but using Accompany it would bring them to Kite. Kite using that nick to trick Gon was just a theory that the kids had.
They do say the line in the dub but they indeed try very hard to pronounce it so it wont sound like the N-word, they basicly say NEENG with a long E. Because of this they also pronounce Ging as Geeng
I know that in Japanese that word doesn't hold the same meaning as in the english language, but it's so fun to think that Ging changed his name in that way, because making Gon say the N word was essential for his growth
I've watched a lot of your reactions, and honestly your breakdown after Gon's Accompany On is probably the funniest I have seen. Almost brought me to tears.
The upcoming Chimera Ant arc is a ride from start to finish. Possibly the most diverse and thrilling arc I've seen in any series (and still is for me). Enjoy the best arc ever.
Its always funny to see the reaction to Ging's rearanged name, its such a funny coincidence lol. Also, the next arc is the reason why this anime is close to being my favourite its gonna be a great ride.
For anyone curious I went and checked the dub quick because it genuinely never occurred to me to look, they pronounce it "neeg" like negro but also don't have the u sound after the "g" so it's not nearly as jarring. I'm sure the dub staff spent some time in meetings before this episode.
finally caught up, and right in time for the chimera ant arc ! love that arc, tho it does have a couple of issue but I'm excited for it ! ty for the regular videos Alicia (and Azu) they always make my day a little better ^^ can't wait for The Owl House to drop too ! one of my favorite show ever, would definitely be checking them on the patreon if I wasn't broke
Fun fact, the french translators made a mistake (maybe only netflix, maybe only in the anime, I don't know): they translated some characters' names. It happens a lot in french translations and I often say nothing about it. BUT ! They translated Ging's name as Jin, wich doesn't make sens because the name of G(ing)reed Island stayed the same. The explanation about the game's name make no sens in the french translation. For other characters it was a good choice, like Baise wich was changed as Vezze, maybe because Baise might have been misinterpreted as the f word (I don't know if this word is banned) instead of "kissing" like intended, because her power was litteraly hypnotising kiss.
Narratively, it makes sense that Gon would win because he is the player that Genuinely played the game for the sake of enjoyment. Others are either trying to survive, find a way out, or speedrun the game for some reward. Gon listened to Ging and enjoyed the game for what it was. The quiz being the last card is designed to punish players who get their cards by taking them from others.
I'm bot sure if you picked up on this but. The reason gon did so well is because he was genuinely playing and getting invested in the game as opposed to most if the other hunters who saw it as a job.
Well mainly it’s because most other players don’t know much about the cards or how they are acquired because they only get them through stealing them from ppl.
@@JavoZier Nigg is the first half of a very offensive English word and basically no other words start like this, so it’s pretty much just saying that word, hence why it’s so surprising to English speakers
I went to check the englsih dub for that scene and its seems they try to prooncue it as "knee-g". Also we are finally at chimera ant arc, this is going to destroy alicias soul best of luck to her.
It makes perfect sense that either Gon or killua would win the quiz despite Gon being kinda dumb. Most other players don’t know how many cards are acquired because they only get them by stealing them.
I'm guessing the English dub simply used another anagram. Since HxH used a very stylised language, all they would have to do was to change the romanisation and that's it, super easy edit. So maybe Ging was named "Ingg" or something like that. I might try to check the answer at some point. edit: I should have waited half a second more, you suggest Ingg too xD
Now time for the longest Arc of Hunter X Hunter which you will either love or hate, no real in between. Personally I liked the beginning and end of it, but felt like it lacked a lot in the middle. Kinda hard to be interested in characters who up till now we've maybe barely seen or haven't seen at all which is what I feel like they try to do a lot in the middle.
Non-Spoiler touch for next arc: in the manga, this guy has been seen multiple times and is a bigger character. This wasn’t their first meeting. But the anime didn’t have those scenes, so it’s awkward.
Good old Ging. Plotting how to force his son to say the N-word since said child was literally like a couple months old. "This is gonna be super funny in like 12 years. Get owned, son."
Note: Spoilers for ep 76 if that's relevant at all. Also this is a rant. In the manga and the 90s anime the character we meet in 76 is one who Gon already knows and is very close with. This anime decided to cut the original beginning, so this character comes out of nowhere and Gon's emotional link to them might feel a bit hollow. I think this is one of two things they outright changed from the original for this anime and I'm not particularly happy about it. The second thing happens later on but that one is twisted and I love it

I was just about to comment that 😂
That’s his self insert character
Also, that's how Togashi scored Naoko Takeuchi - Sailor Moon's author.
Takeuchi has said several times that her favorite type of man is one that's kind and caring, but also socially awkward and a slob. And Togashi aced everything.
Nope, it's actually Doomentio from the Doomverse
@@RodolfoRamos-cd6zh wait did she really say that???
Strap in everybody, cause this next adventure seems like it could be intense!
ok, everyone ready? we are about to begin one of the craziest anime arcs of all time.
Yup!
You are NEVER ready for CA's arc
I'm buckled up!
The rape arc
I am still daunted by how long CA arc is. We are on ep 75 of how many, and we only have the election left. And that final Gungi game, the lap pillow. God!
8:28 There is a picture of Togashi the creator of HxH in his room exactly like this
Ging's gamertag
Gon and Killua's "tans"
That one dude with an ability called "Eleven Black Children"
The holy trinity of things that didn't translate well in this show 😅
Fun fact the guy gon meets at the castle is Togashi's (manga author) Self insert
Its ok, Ging's a gamer.
He pulled a Pro Gamer Move.
He made that username back when the Internet was edgier don't cancel him😂

I can't lie ever since the "blackface" episode I've been waiting for this one :P
Chimera Ant arc is going to be one hell of an emotional trainwreck... let's go!
"Gon can say it. He's saying it for the culture." Holy shit.
You know I always forget about the name thing till about 2/3 of the way through Greed Island
I know that in Japanese that word doesn't hold the same meaning as in the english language, but it's so fun to think that Ging changed his name in that way, because making Gon say the N word was essential for his growth
he needed gon to do that for the culture
I've watched a lot of your reactions, and honestly your breakdown after Gon's Accompany On is probably the funniest I have seen. Almost brought me to tears.
21:03 Anyone wants this as notification sound?
It may be just a coincidence but if feels like Ging is setting up the world for Gon to be his training ground
Knowing Ging, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Gon's entire trip was a plan of his.
That's literally what's happening
Dang Ging being a gamer by using gamer words in his gamertag
23:46 if I remember in the English dub they pronounced it Neeg like sounding like need but with a g
You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for the reaction to Ging’s Greed Island name
Time to change the words in the opening to "YOU CAN CRYYYYY AGAIN".
now, it is time for
ANTS, ANTS, ANT MANS!
The upcoming Chimera Ant arc is a ride from start to finish. Possibly the most diverse and thrilling arc I've seen in any series (and still is for me). Enjoy the best arc ever.
Lets gooo its chimera arc time
Congrats on finishing Greed Island! Yeah we're about to get right into the next one. Also good guess on him choosing Acompany.
Next arc is gonna be wild
Get ready! FOR PEAK!!!!
22:51 I forgot he said the name like that.
welcome to the most fun arc alicia! enjoy!!
I'll never not laugh at the way Gon Killua and Bisky look at the two guts who want to steal all the cards like "bro seriously?"
fun time is over, now we're getting real.
9:00 I wasnt judging. There was no need to attack me.
20:17 I never actually made that connection as I never thought twice about hearing it as "Kneeg" even though I saw it spelled out as what it is.
One of the best arcs in anime history is about to begin for these two! Hell to the yeah! \m/
I can only imagine the nightmare dubbing is! So many innocent sounding words in English or others language just being curse words like that!
I have been so looking forward to reacting to that name..did not disappoint.
Also...soon...
Its always funny to see the reaction to Ging's rearanged name, its such a funny coincidence lol.

oh boy were now entering one of THE MOST GOATED arcs of the series...
Oh boy she is not prepared for what comes next. Tears will be shed for the darkest turn in the anime
I've been waiting for this moment since the episode 1 reaction.
Oh boy, can't wait to see their next exciting adventure.
i'm back here for that scene
It's sad that they won't know who this character will be because this is the 2011 version.
finally caught up, and right in time for the chimera ant arc !
love that arc, tho it does have a couple of issue but I'm excited for it !
ty for the regular videos Alicia (and Azu) they always make my day a little better ^^
can't wait for The Owl House to drop too ! one of my favorite show ever, would definitely be checking them on the patreon if I wasn't broke
best arc incoming. lets goo
You guys are NOT ready for this next arc. It's gonna be a wild, rough ride.
Ok now the real fun begins I'm excited
Welcome my friends...to the most iconic arc in Hunter X Hunter

French dub always do that especially with older anime. Let's not even talk about what they did to hokuto no ken 😂

The quiz being the last card is designed to punish players who get their cards by taking them from others.
Let's go for one of the best arc in anime!
I've been excited about this episode for awhile just because I wanted to see Alicia's reaction to Ging's name in the game. lmao
I'm bot sure if you picked up on this but. The reason gon did so well is because he was genuinely playing and getting invested in the game as opposed to most if the other hunters who saw it as a job.
Well mainly it’s because most other players don’t know much about the cards or how they are acquired because they only get them through stealing them from ppl.
in the dub they pronounced it like " knee " with the g sound on the end
Yessss time for THE arc
Ok, buckle up everyone, next arc is gonna be a long one!
Best arc incoming.
Best Arc alert!!!
The fucking name change from Ging was insane. The first time I saw it I was astounded
Can I ask why? I am not a native speaker
@@JavoZier Nigg is the first half of a very offensive English word and basically no other words start like this, so it’s pretty much just saying that word, hence why it’s so surprising to English speakers
@@JavoZier well… let’s just say it looks and sounds like a shorter version of a very, VERY bad word
Finally entering the greatest shonnen arc ever
Best arc
Best arc
Best arc
Alicia is not ready
They use Ging’s alias in the dub too.
We're hitting the Chimera Ant Arc next. Get some tissues for some big time trauma.
IT'S HERE! STRAP IN EVERYONE THE NEXT ARC IS HERE!!!
Alicia acting like the people of Japan should care about racism
I went to check the englsih dub for that scene and its seems they try to prooncue it as "knee-g".
Also we are finally at chimera ant arc, this is going to destroy alicias soul best of luck to her.
Strap in this arc goes crazy
oh boy... here we go
It makes perfect sense that either Gon or killua would win the quiz despite Gon being kinda dumb. Most other players don’t know how many cards are acquired because they only get them by stealing them.

edit: I should have waited half a second more, you suggest Ingg too xD
It begins...
Alright, Greed Island Arc over. Now its time for...the next one...
So, very soon, it will begin the next arc. .....the main characters Gon, Killua, and third most important character, the narrator
My room doesn't look like that
But I know a friend whose room looks just like that. It hurts my soul to see so much trash in someone's bedroom T-T
Omg! It's starting 😭
Now time for the longest Arc of Hunter X Hunter which you will either love or hate, no real in between. Personally I liked the beginning and end of it, but felt like it lacked a lot in the middle. Kinda hard to be interested in characters who up till now we've maybe barely seen or haven't seen at all which is what I feel like they try to do a lot in the middle.
21:05 for the funniest sound ever
Oh hell nah Gon gone and got us concerned with the last line
My headcanon is that the twin, Elena, is actually Gon's mom. I'm just going off of her facial expression at the end though
Ging is a true gamer
Not what I expected you to put at the start of the video
Am I the only one that briefly glimpsed the thumbnail for this and thought "WTF Is Alicia reacting to Zatch Bell?!?"
Finally finished the tutorial
Non-Spoiler touch for next arc: in the manga, this guy has been seen multiple times and is a bigger character. This wasn’t their first meeting. But the anime didn’t have those scenes, so it’s awkward.
I don’t think their ready for the next arc 😂 spirits will be crushed and hearts torn open lol
Good old Ging. Plotting how to force his son to say the N-word since said child was literally like a couple months old.
"This is gonna be super funny in like 12 years. Get owned, son."

I think Alicia should check out the next opening sequence at ep 92. Anyone agree?
Buckle up, the peak is in sight :D
well... that arc is coming...
Am I the only one who feels like certain character designs are like from different animes? For example Dwun reminds to Crayon Shin-chan for reals...
oh god were already here okay
I sure do love ants. Hope they don't emotionally damage me
We finally here lol, told you it was too cute lol
Personally I’m more of a fan of the Dub version personally, to answer your Alicia, Yes they still say it in the English Dub
Gon spent too much time in the game, he picked up on gamer words.
time for best arc
hi enhancer alicia hi manipulator or emitter azu
To be fair. Ging did go to buy milk and never came back so the name in the game works.
because of the Japanese word for running away right?... right?
Next arc: Pain x Hype
