Let us not forget after teaching Gon nen ALMOST EXACTLY 100 episodes ago Wing said "Master..I may have awakened an incredible beast"
Razor aswell,opened his perma closed anime eyes and called him a monster...
Indeed
I think Pap was with Gon in this episode I have no proof but I have no doubts either and Pap was with Netero also.
Zepail was the most accurate one in describing Gon
Laughing or crying(? XD
Kurapika unknownly commited the biggest mistake in the entire show: casually telling gon about Conditions and Vows.
That didn't have anything to do. You don't need to know about nen mechanics to make a nen vow.
@@disprofundis3477how can you do something without knowing how to do that?
@@knightcommander5694 How did the first person do it then?
@@knightcommander5694 Nen is nature. It's not a developed technique like operating a computer that you need prior knowledge to do it. Anyway I don't need to say that much. Existence of nen geniuses like Komugi, Zephile, Neon already prove my point. Pitou used en before knowing about nen. Gon used zetsu before knowing it's mechanics. And countless other examples.
@@disprofundis3477 oh god you are speaking about different things. Just because Pitou’s nen was awakened since birth doesn’t mean she knows how to properly use it. She used poor Pokkle for that to learn more about nen. Same with talented people like Neon or Komugi. They even unaware that they use nen so they don’t know how to use it except in their specific stuff. If you want to make a vow with nen you need to learn about it first. Kurapika learnt it from his teacher, and Gon from Kurapika. So Gon couldn’t even use it if he didn’t know that he can, got it?
"I don't care if this is the end" - Giving away his life force
"So I will use everything" - Giving away his Nen
"I will kill you, Pitou" - The resolution
Basically Gon did what Kurapika did but way worse with more severe consequences
exactly. Kurapika did it in a controlled way, while Gon just said "f*ck it. let's kill this b*tch and i'm out of this life", which gave him all the power he would've been able to get through his entire life, something only he would've been able to achieve thanks to his immense talent and his heavily affected mind. No sane person would've been able to accomplish that terrifying Nen pact.
in the manga he says "I need all the power I'll ever have" instead of "I'll use everything" so his sacrifice was even more clear during the transformation
@@ammrepanzer that's a mistranslation. He does say "I'll use everything i have"
What Gon did isnt comparable to Kurapika at all. Kurapika has harsh restrictions, but as long as he follows them he won't die. Gon got to the point where he could maybe defeat even Meruem with his power. Meruem is far stronger than even the strongest Nen user in the show Netero just to make the contrast to how much strong Gon actually got. Gons restrictions and also sacrifices to gain that power would have led him to his death. Also what Gon did was only possible with him considering his immense talent and resolve to defeat Pitou.
@@peolfpetler8500Gon and Kurapika illustrate perfectly what gojo said to Megumi : "Dying to win (Gon) , and risking death to win (Kura) are completely different"
Pitou died happy. She died thinking that the worst enemy that could kill the king spent all his energy on her. And for a Royal Guard, that is her reason for existing, to protect the king even at the cost of her own life.
A good ending for this Royal Guard.
She died the most brutal death lol
@@subratgogoi3226 she died happy, not through gruelling poison XD
The Rel guard is amazing, they literally have the behavior of ants.
@@subratgogoi3226She lost her conciousness in first or maybe 2nd punch. Yes, her unconscious body (and her dead body) took some brutal blows, but does it really count as brutal if the subject can't even feel any of it?
Well she lacks critical info. Gon wants her dead, not her King. And Gon is no where near her worst enemy, she doesn't think so either. She met Netero before. She just thought he could potentially be lethal since he's so unpredictable. 😂
Here we are. This is THE episode.
If you see the scene where Killua is using God speed you can hear his steps while running, this is the first time in the entire show because he is so desperate he is not hiding his presence😢
And also when he tries to save Gon from the corpse of Pitou
Not true
It's not the first time in the show, but the first time after we are made aware of the fact that he walk without making a sound. When we meet Killua at the beginning of the Hunter's exam his footsteps are as loud as any other.
I have never realized this! Damn such a cool detail!
@@herrjemeneh368 yeah, I've noticed that too. But I like your point that it's the first time after we know the fact about him. Perhaps at first the producer didn't know too.
Come on. Stop with this BS lol
Meleoron to Gon, episode 102:
"Really? When I met you, I had the opposite reaction. I could sense a vicious beast inside you. That's why I wanted to team up. There's no limit to what you'll do."
These girls understand the message very well, it's great. They felt the same as me. This was not a Gon vs Pitou battle, it was a massacre, a tragedy in which you feel sadness and not a victory that makes you feel good. Better said impossible.
Me too l fell şad şeeing his have nice day my friend iş amzing episode and şad one too ❤
Hxh chapter 131 will always be remembered in one word:
Art
Ch 306-307
"but there's a huge difference between risking a life and throwing it away"
kurapika was risking his life for revenge but Gon basically committed suicide
To be fair, Kurapika is just as self-destructive as Gon, he just does it in a more gradual, subtle way rather than the sudden explosion that Gon often does, because he is very methodical and has clear plans for what he needs to do. But in the end Kurapika still doesn't value his life and is effectively throwing away his future.
@@angrashadow2958 I think the main difference is that Kurapika has to kill the entire spider, so sacrificing his life all at once against the first member is a mistake.
If for example, only Chrollo were left alive, I believe that then Kurapika would not hesitate for a second to sacrifice his entire life in order to kill him.
I don't get how people can come to this conclusion. If Gon didn't do this Pitou would have killed him right then and there. Suicide would have been not doing this. It's sad yes, but what else could he have done besides die?
@@Haakkonwell, he could've made a lighter sacrifice and would still defeat pitou, it would be a way longer battle, but he probably would've get out safe
@@Haakkon I think that even when that was his only opinion, a suicide still a suicide
Just like a soldier that is captured and he uses his grenade to kill at least one enemy.
So I think that you just didn't realize that when you do this doesn't really matter if was your only option or if you took someone with you, in the end, when you kill yourself you committed suicide
"In what situation would you hurt yourself?"
"When... you can't forgive yourself." - Gon, episode 110/chapter 262.
What makes this episode so special is how it brings together the culmination of so many things: Gon's character arc and insecurities, Killua's helplessness towards their relationship, Pitou's endless loyalty towards Meruem, and the Nen system that allows all of this to manifest in such brilliant and unique ways.
The first thing to be noted is, when Gon says "Liar.", as his Nen starts to build up, the most surface level interpretation of this is that he is talking to Pitou and taking his anger out on her, but I believe this is only one half of it. Gon is also talking to himself there, after all he was the one who made such a big promise to both Killua and Kite that he will bring Kite back no matter what, and now he found out that he could not live up to his words. As we have seen in other episodes Gon cares very much about both the promises he receives and gives, he does not forgive anyone betraying his trust and at the same time, he would not forgive himself for failing to fulfill a promise. This was Gon's punishment to both himself and Pitou.
Gon's transformation being that of an adult form is so well thought out. Think about it, throughout the whole show Gon's greatest wish was to become "strong" and not feel like a helpless child like he did when Kite saved him, and Kite was the ideal "adult" in his life, the one he was striving to be like this whole time. Nen responds to emotions, so in this moment where Gon feels more like a helpless child than ever, it is so symbolic to have his transformation be that of an adult. It's represents the ideal version of himself that he sought after, and I love there is a contrast between the transformation sequence being completely dark and monstrous, reflecting how unnatural and forceful this process is, and the actual result being brilliant and perfect.
The translation was not quite accurate when Pitou says that his power is equal to the King, what they actually say is "Just as I thought, his fangs could reach the King!", calling back to their previous thought in episode 125. Regardless the comparison stands and Gon was a clear threat.
What makes the beatdown so chilling is Gon's complete coldness, even when he is charging his Jajanken, there is hardly any emotion, just the cold, raw desire to kill. Even when he is finishing the job he shows no passion. He is not filled with rage but rather the emptiness of fulfilling what he believes to be his duty to Kite (and Ging by extension).
The Anime's direction adds a contrast between this scene and the scene of Gon standing in front of Genthru (the Bomber)'s defeated body at the end of Greed Island, that was a triumphant victory for Gon, but this one is anything but.
What adds so much dimension to this whole conflict is the sheer genuineness and depth of Pitou's devotion to the King, often we see the power of bonds and friendship aid the protagonists/heroes against their antagonists/villains, but this is a rare case where it's actually the other way around; the antagonists' bonds gave them power while the protagonists' bonds failed them, and that is such brilliant writing showing how these concepts aren't exclusive to the people we perceive as "good guys".
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt. I'm not trying to be tough. I'm kind of happy... I finally get to be the same as Kite was then. I feel like I've been redeemed some." And there it is, Gon revealing his true mental state this whole time, he was trying to atone for what he believed to be his own failure to measure up. In the Manga, the panel where he says this shows a clear sadness on his face, which contrasts him saying he is "happy", because in reality he is broken. This entire time Gon could not once admit that he was hurting because he had to be strong like Kite, he can't afford to be vulnerable.
And poor Killua, having to helplessly watch all of this unfold, it's almost a cruel joke for Togashi to write this scene after having Palm tell him that he is the one Gon needs the most after his emotional breakdown. But I believe this holds an important message; you cannot save someone who does not want to be saved, and you should not attach your worth to your ability to do so or lack thereof. Gon made his decision a long time ago and nothing Killua could have said would have reached him. What's done is done and Killua had to learn this the hard way. The fact that this is the first interaction between Gon and Killua since "Because this has nothing to do with you." just adds a mountain of salt to the wound.
The final shot of this episode is so haunting... Gon finally revealing how much he is hurting in the last second right before being enveloped in light. This is the ultimate conclusion to Killua's "Gon, you are the light. Sometimes you shine so brightly that I have to look away.". The episode is titled "Anger X And x Light" and ends with Gon enveloped with light more than ever before, to the point where it burned him away, which I think symbolizes how this tragic turn of events was a result of Gon trying too hard to become the ultimate Hunter whom everyone could look up to, he burned too brightly and nothing was left but ashes.
this made me feel like walter white falling to his knees in slow motion before collapsing entirely. good job
Can i just say, what a wonderfully thought out analysis. As these two say a number of times throughout the latter portion of this arc, it is just astounding that this is the same show where we were merrily travelling along with our protagonists as they are taking the hunter exams, and doing traditional shonen "friendship" stuff. I have to imagine that, for all the criticism he receives for constantly being on haitus, the time Togashi is away from the pen is not without gain. This takes planning and reflection that cannot easily be achieved when creating a traditional weekly shonen manga, and I am grateful that the waiting resulted in such a beautiful product. All that being said, I am so invested in the current arc and dying to see it come back, but if we never do see anything further, i am grateful we received what we have.
Beautiful comments!♥️🤙🏻

Wow… just wow. Your words truly left me speechless. Reading this flooded me with the memories I had while watching this series for the very first time. This here is the expressed beauty of hunter x hunter. All of the symbolism and moral themes culminating in this one scene is what makes this show a masterpiece in my eyes. It’s so refreshing to see others who see the same beauty that I have come to fall in love with. Thank you for those remarkable words.
"Fun" Fact:
In the entire anime, the scene at the end when Killua leaps in to save Gon from Pitou is the only time where we can hear Killua's footsteps. He was so focused on getting to Gon he didn't bother to silence his footsteps for the very first time.
I know ppl always say this under this episode but it's not true, there are multiple occasions where you hear killua's footsteps as early as episode 11 for example
@@zombor8249 I usually hear this comment right after someone mentions the footstep part. Do you have any example of Killua's footstep being heard after heaven's arena?
@@disprofundis3477Even if after the third arc of the series it doesnt happen, its still very much not true tyat this is the first time
@@danielfonseca4849In which episode part do you hear the killua footsteps?
@@zombor8249I don't hear killua footsteps? You might wanna check Ur ears buddy.😂😂😂

"FUN FACT!"☝️🤓
Lmaooo
He was punching her continuously because "that's the way Kite taught him" on how to kill Chimera ants, that is, you have to destroy their heads. His anger gives the way to enforce that.
And because of angry, just like when people continuously get shot even after have some fatal wounds
9 punches for a cats 9 lives
Actually I always think this way, "Kite did taught you some of it, Gon. He did taught you to crush their heads but not to destroy yourself like this!"
Really sad episode. 😢
@@JampaS2wow so informative
@@naruto7034 I can't tell if you're making fun of me or really didn't know that 🤣🤣
But don't worry, either ways that's ok
10:01 it never fails. Almost every reactor tries to look over Pitou's shoulder even tho you really can't lmao.
lmao, never noticed that, I need to check other reactors now
LMAO RIGHT??
That's how you know maximum immersion has been achieved haha
Yup! That gets almost everyone!
Hell, I'm pretty sure it got me too the first time
So funny you noticed that lol. I do that stuff too while watching
this episode is togashi tesis coming to a conclusion. A shonen hero would be a monster in the real world. Making promises that you can not upheld the hero becomes a monster once he realizes he needs to commit atrocities in order to fulfill them to be the hero it does not make sense.
In that situation
"I'm kind of happy..."
"I finally get to be the same as Kite was then."
"I feel like I've been redeemed some."
This is Togashi. The reason why I think Togashi is the best writer in Japan.
17:14 Killua's scream will always hunt me
Me too! It just like Killua getting forced to watch the closet friend committed a suic**e in front of himself. And he can't do a thing for him.
Gon can't go into that state again, because he hasn't "used" his Nen, in a way in which it can be restored with a nap. He used his "potential Nen". He didn't have that power at that time, but he sacrificed everything he was once going to have to achieve one specific thing. You can lose Nen and it can come back, but once you sacrifice lifespan and potential, there's no going back from that. As Pitou said, "he's prepared to never use Nen again"
With this 2 episodes Pitou rank to almost my top 3 characters of HxH. The develop, the resilience, the resolve, such evolution from monster to human, the love towards king that even she was dead she want to protect him, the sadness towards Gon, the kidness to tell him the true. An amazing character. 10/10
Facts, my fav ant
She's also the best cat girl
Me too she amzing l hope she rest in peçe
????
I guess this was the reaction everyone was expecting. The chills, the shock, the horror, the sadness. Even if you could see it coming from a mile, everything is so well crafted that it’s really hard to not get emotional.
If I had to guess, this scene is probably a big reason why everyone suggests HxH to react channels.
Seeing a kid just give away his entire life always gets me this ep is peak
Yeah this was def the most anticipated, although the next arc also has some amazing moments that I think they'd appreciate
ive been waiting for this episode since episode 1 lol
fucking genius writing. "i don't even know WHO i'm crying for at this point" is so real lol. it's just all so sad. masterpiece.
Rest in Peace Gon
Cause of Death: Overdose of Nen
Bro sniffed that forbidden potential nen
Pitou was like "Why do I hear boss music?"
Damn, Milena is right Killua looking at Gon is like seeing your friend succumb to drugs and you can't help him or save him. It's so human this show. Togashi is something else.
Those dissonant strings at 12:00 always make my skin crawl, makes it crystal clear how dangerous and unnatural this covenant was.
The fact that there were multiple exclusive OST created for this one episode shows the impact that each scene had. Truly great writing and producing
@@calebjackson1208That one is not exclusive, you can hear it in previous episodes as well.
@@disprofundis3477 When? I can't remember this dissonant strings anywhere else felt quite poignant
@@TheOriginalDogLP Unfortunately I don't remember where, except that I know I have heard it before at least once in the show, and at that time realized that it was not exclusive in this scene. I can't prove it right now tho.
@@disprofundis3477 I’m pretty sure it’s only used for the transformation. The ost that I’m referring to is called “Theme of Kage” which then leads to “RASETSU”
Its always so fun to see people watching this episode 😅
Before more people come harping about "mistranslation," Pitou saying that Gon's power is "now equal to that of the King" is a correct translation based on the original Japanese manga. In the manga, what Pitou says can be translated as Gon's "abilities/fangs have now reached the King," with abilities and fangs conveyed as a double meaning using furigana and kanji (like with Netero saying malice/evolution). So the phrase can be interpreted both as Gon's power level reaching the King's, and Gon's metaphorical fangs reaching the King. Emphasizing the Gon's power level makes more sense because Gon and the other humans are already viewed as threats by Pitou so letting us directly know how powerful Gon is and the level of sacrifice he must have made hits much harder.
true and even if it is a comparison of power, Pitou never met Meruem after the bomb, who is much stronger than she had seen.
@@anti-heroiz Post-Rose Meruem is practically a demigod.
But.... Pitou never said "hmm... this kid could be equal to the king" ... She reffered about Gon like "his fangs can reach the King's throath" ....and that's why she said "I was right..." before the misstranslation english sub had for this episode.
Yeah people love to “um akshually 🤓” that part. But fundamentally it changes little. Gon in this fight, is shown to be a couple leagues above Pitou. In general this is also where we view the king to be. The gist being, if the two were to fight, the outcome would be uncertain and the king may lose.
And this was pitou's OPINION based on the SINGLE TAIL ATTACK, she never saw them king use his full power, only netero saw the king using his full power.
So WHATEVER TRANSLATION you pick, it's ALLLLL meaningless, because it's WRONG.
When Gon was punching Pitou over and over, the idea is that he punched her 9 times for a cats 9 lives, cause regardless of everything he’s been though he’s only just a child😕
Gon's hair is a representation on how much he aged, imagine how long will your hair get without cutting for so many years? Now for obvious reasons they can't show the "other" hairs to get long 😂😂
LMAO that would certainly be an interesting scene.
@@fahrenheit2101for a biologic reason, the hair has a maximum size for different parts of the body, so the “other hair” dont will be this big
@@PauloLouvalol yeah this is a massive misunderstanding of how hair grows. Even if you were to never trim your body hair it would never grow to be as long as the hair on your head. 😅
This episode is titled with "anger and light". We obviously see the anger, but where is the light?
Remember the episode Kite was killed? That one was titled "Light and Darkness". I bet all of you understood it as "Gon is the light, shining apon Killua's darkness". Ha, now you may see the different meaning and the full circle, right?
Gon appears to be the light. But the seed of true darkness was already planted inside Gon by then. After so many episode, we should found that Killua is the pure one, no matter what he thinks of himself. Killua turned out to be the true heart of the two. Killua is the light.
Gon is now long gone, fully consumed by hatred and darkness. Killua is the light, which sadly cannot shine through the darkness of Gon.
the manic switching between crying and laughing is so real for this episode
20:21 I think somebody pointed it out already, but what Lola says hasn't been told in the show yet, only the manga. we've only seen kurapika using the power but none of the consequences, other than him getting tired. someone must've said it in the comments of some reaction
Yeah, they read the comments. I don't think is that much of a biggie since we probably won't ever get a 2nd season of HxH (We've been on the boat since like, 2016)
@@recker198At least Togashi is writing again. There’s a chance!
@@trebor2485 yeah if togashi keeps up with this pace by 2030 we might get a season
Togashi already gave us all the possible endings for the manga and he currently has enough finished to release another 10+ chapters and likely has more ready to come sooner rather than later. A second season or part 2 is 100% possible now it's just a matter of when, my guess is within the next decade or so unlike previously where most people thought it would never get completed
Funny how the scariest thing this arc isn't the king, but Gon. The one with the most human development was the king, whereas the one with the most monstrous was Gon.
One of the reason why this anime (especially this saga) is a true masterpiece!!
@@opqrrg what's more fitting - Gon was always selfless, and here they took that trait to its absolute limit.
Episode 131 is legendary in the anime community. Glad the two of you got to experience the magic of this episode!
this episode was peak televesion back then, HXH is one of the greatest ever
Gon basically put a condition on himself to burrow all of his potential & nen to use it for this one fight to defeat Pitou. In doing so the trade off for that is he will not be able to use nen ever again & you can guess what else that would mean without spoiling what kind of condition he will be in afterwards. But to answer simply, no he will not have nen anymore
@@Filip-ip6ly because they still had doubts after the episode ended, they talk about that in the discussion
@@Filip-ip6ly because the girls are literally confused & didn’t get it in the discussion. Context my friend.
@@b_delta9725 the main point is that Gon has made a sacrifice to gain this power, which I'm pretty sure they understood. Whether it's losing his nen, years of life or straight up dying, it isn't clarified in the show at this point. So it's fine to speculate about it
And I'll say Pitou was a poor choice for me to bring up. Killua said it better: "what price did he have to pay to obtain so much aura"
I can't remember, can he use nen after Alluka heals him?
Usually the heros get those nice and cool transformations, full of colors and happiness... but who said gon was the hero ?
When you two start this show, i was counting the days when you two would reached those episodes. I still can't wait until you see four specifics episodes.
I guess that i just wanna say that I'm so glad to see the way that both of you react to this show and how invested you guys get with the story ❤❤
These chapters are a masterpiece. Gon killing Pitou generates many sensations.
Totaly agreed!!
Gon's situation is wayyyy more severe than you thought. LOL there's no coming back. that power is what he could've achieved if he train non stop for many years like netero. doesn't mean he'll ever be that strong but possible. it's "potentially". one of the greatest talent on earth sacrificed all of that for one specific task. to kill pitou. life force is literally your life. so he actually prepared to die after this. it doesn't matter whether he continuously using it to smack pitou or not. his fate is sealed once he transformed. the condition already set. he's as good as dead
"I dont even know who I am crying for"
That's a true tragedy. It is a heartbreaking moment for every single character in the scene. With this masterpiece, togashi completely upended the typical Transformation trope in manga and transformed it from a moment of triumph into a moment of pure heartbreak. Amazing story. This isn't even the best part of the story yet imo. Just wait until you're sobbing at the end of this whole ordeal 😭
it's crazy how good this past few episodes have been, and this arc is still even no where near it's peak, you both are in for a treat. Truly the greatest arc in anime/manga history.
Transformations or power ups are usually colorful and epic. Gon’s was just dark, sad and he looked like a monster, no cliche transformations here because it was not for the greater good, it was because he was mad.
First ever double upload? Let's gooooooo
Only if you have Patreon
Lola when she sees grown Gon: whose mans is this?
Lola really understands the show
milena when seeing gon transform : " he isnt my boy, who is he?"
It is such a treat to have followed your reactions through this series and to finally be here at this point
First time i see your channel. I got teary eyes from reliving this fantastic moment together with you and it made my day! Btw, i want to reflect that you guys are doing a really good job with deeply reflective commentary. I was immediately impressed and drawn in. Gonna stick with you for the rest of this ride!
A pet peeve i have with the hxh fandom is when they say that it doesn't make sense for gon to care so much about kite in this version of the story, because he didn't tell gon to be a hunter when he was a kid. I get why they say it, but it misses the most important detail from this ep, and the whole show: gon cares for Kite because he cares about Ging
when they take the plane to ngl, gon has a conversation with killua about what they'll do if something happens to kite, as kite's wish is for gon and killua to run if that happens, and gon says "that's not what Ging would've wanted", which makes sense right? because kite is the person Gon wants to be: someone strong enough to fend off by themselves, and someone who has found ging and is respected by him. gon takes this mission as a test to himself, to prove that he's strong in order to not feel the crushing guilt of kite dying for his fault, which would also mean he's a failure to his father. if kite wasn't his fathers apprentice, he'd also feel guilty, but he'd 100% not react the same, he told killua in the palace that "you're calm because this has nothing to do with you", as gon sees this mission as something that proves his worth
at the end when he says that "im just like kite was back then", that line was different in the manga, it's "in the end I can be *just like kite*", which holds more meaning i'd say, because it doesn't just mean Gon lost his arm just like Kite, but that he brute forced his way into becoming the person he wanted to be, if not the strongest hunter alive, even if just for a few minutes. its one of those moments that, the more you think about it, the more meaning it has and the more it reflects about the story and its morals
Yeah, I also find it annoying when people "don't understand" Gon's reaction. It's like they forget he's a child, has abandonment issues, and has lost who was effectively the only father figure he's ever known - and only tangible connection to his real father. Although I do agree that this show messed up by not having Kite in the 1st episode; keeping it would've forecast the importance of Kite a little more, since Kite dying is like the foundation of Gon's identity being destroyed out from underneath him.
Also, I like what you said about Gon caring for Kite because he cares about Ging. I'm reminded of Pitou's answer for why she saves Komugi: "This person is someone important to someone important to me." How the show can be that explicit and still some don't understand Gon befuddles me.
The problem is the 2011 version made a big mistake when they made Gon forget about Kite. Both in the manga and in the 1999 version Gon not only remembers Kite very fondly throughout the whole story, but he mentions him more than once before meeting him again. The impact Kite had on Gon is unfortunately a little bit lost in 2011 because of this, it’s still puzzling why they left those scenes out.
@@koenma932 i guess they didn't think the audience would remember kite which is very lame imo, but it's just a change where instead of having met kite as a kid, he met him as the last stop before meeting ging, it's less meaningful but i don't see how it changes gon's motivation, kite's value to him is a lot more than having met him as a kid
"I don't care... if this is the end. So I will use everything, and kill you PITOU"
Some of us take this phrase leading up to his transformation to be a Nen contract, he offered anything and everything in return for being allowed to use all that power until Pitou was destroyed. And now we are left to wonder what exactly the universe decides the price of this power is.
This episode has fantastic music as well, loved seeing you guys shrink back from the transformation scene and later the screeching violins as he charged up his jajanken. And then of course at the end right after they destroy you emotionally with Killua screaming Gon's name it fades to white then jarringly starts playing the happy go lucky end credits music. lol
“No this is a nuclear attack” 💀
The episode we all thought about when they started reacting to this show... at least one of them for sure. FINALLY!
The other chapter I want to see is the one where Meruem meets Komugi again for the last time 😭
I still remember being so excited when yall started this series, and now seeing this is very surreal. Thank you for this journey 🙏🫶
Bro acting like its over now
The mix of crying and laughing on this ep ahah beautiful
I'm crying again just thinking about Killua this whole arc and how it affects him here and what's next.
Just going bad to episode 85 (Kite's death), then to some episodes here and there where he has still Gon under control somehow. When he nearly dies and just thinks "I'm sorry Gon" before losing consciousness. To the beginning of the invasion and episode 116 (they confront Pitou) and this.
Also just since the beginning of the series.
Thank you for your amazing reaction and comments as always
Loved your reactions. Especially when Lola said the episode took decades off her life. lol Seriously one of the most shocking episodes in all anime. He gave up all Nen and his life force to defeat Pitou which was the only way he was going to defeat Pitou but he went through stages of grief sadness, denial and rage and him just using rock over and over was so sad.
We may have waited a long time for the reaction to this episode, but it was worth it.
the music is so amazing, the cherry on the top for me
You two are the BEST 🥰
DOUBLE DROPPED EPISODE ! 🥳
Feels like chrismas morning, i'm so happy right now 🎁
Gon went through the five stages of grief:
1- Denial - “I'm fine” “This didn’t happen” “Everything is fine”
2- Anger - “Why me?” "How could this happen to me?" "Who is to blame for this?"
3- Bargaining - “Let me see him again” “I will do anything to make him come back again”
4- Depression - "I'm sad" "I'm going to die anyway" "What's the point of this life?"
5- Acceptance - “I will move on” “There is no point in resisting it” “What’s done is done”
Dude, this isn't Teen Titans Go you know.😑
Here we go! Been waiting for this ep for so long.
We all have been waiting for this! 👌
1 year later finally
131 and 135 have got to be the best episodes of the entire show.
Since you ladies started this show I’ve been waiting for you to get here
Anime peaked here.
the irony is that she sacrificed herself thinking Gon would be a danger to the king. Maybe he would have been to the King she last saw but definitely not to post rose Meruem.
And as we saw with Youpi and Pouf, Meruem has the ability to take their power and use it to an even greater scale.
Youpi can blow himself up and destroy everything within a couple of meters, and post rose Meruem can blow up a mountain a mile away.
Pouf can sense emotion, post rose Meruem can straight up read minds.
So maybe with Pitou's healing ability absorbed he could have cured the poison withing him.
They try to fight the pain with forced laughter but I could feel they were shaking lol
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS OMGG
I didn't think i'd be crying today.
I was sooo dam anxious for the day of this episode
Absolute cinema
10:00 ah yes... The tilt to see past Pitou... Classic...
A good measuring bar for how powerful gone became is that kick. Let's remember, Pitou took a hit from freaking Netero. and she was thrown away just like that, but she still had enough special awareness to realise what happened, and enough conscience thought to come up with way to stop herself and regroop.
Nothing of that this time, that kick wrecked any samples of conscience she had, to the point her last thoughts were most likely just as Gon approached her to finish the job
It also made her spit blood and clearly damaged inner parts of her body, while Netero's hit did practically no notable damage at all XD...
Sus caras en esta reaccion me trajo emociones de la primera vez que vi este maravilloso animé, simplemente increíble
Gracias.
When Milena Says "Epizode" 🤣
When gon can’t find daddy he becomes daddy
The one we've all been waiting for 🔥🔥
Gon's rage is so unsettling, I cant even describe it in words. Not even in this episode, but starting with him meeting Pitou earlier. It's just very uncomfortable, and very uncommon for protagonists in other shows or movies.
I was waiting for this epic reaction!!
One of my favorite anime episodes of all time, simply brilliant.
Also, not sure if you guys take requests but have you heard of “Interview with the Vampire” the tv series? Y’all would enjoy that
One of the greatest eps in anime. Was waiting for y’all to get here. Gon got put in the top 5 protagonist with this one. At least y’all get to watch the next ep right after. I had to wait a week 😭
Long story short: Gon's no longer Hisoka's type.
Actually hisoka would be absolutely stoked because this is what he wanted, for gon to reach his potential and then fight him
@@deez4886 Now the question is: would Hisoka get very excited and want to fight Gon to death or would he be disappointed because Gon wasted all his potential for a short time power up?
@@douglascostateixeira8265 disappointed, and he will not try to fight this Gon, he know he will get fuck up, same reason for why he doesn't try to engage fight against Netero, Hisoka doesn't love people who not being human anymore, Netero and adult gon are just monster x)
@@deez4886 Why would Hisoka be happy to get instantly atomized by a Gon who practically cheated to reach the absolute maximum of his potential, nothing about that is exciting at all.
Was waiting for this since the beggining was a long way🔥👏🏾
M&L at 12:10 prairie dogging out of their blanket watching, kill me!
12:00 The sound right here was just full of chills
You were clearly affected by this episode. So I advise you to prepare tissues for episode 135. You will cry a lot
Even though I am in a sea of tears I can't stop moving with the ending. That mix between sadness and happiness.
Absolutely Masterpiece 😢😢😢❤❤❤
This episode has been foreshadowed pretty much since the beginning of the show, any time where Gon has acted with reckless abandon has been leading up to this moment
Been waiting for this for months
Nice call back to the beginning of the arc, when Gon was about to be bit by the ant in the cave, because he dropped his guard, as he gets saved again, but this time he loses his arm like Kite did. Masterpiece
Interesting arc. The protagonist (Gon) slowly losing his humanity, whilst the King (antagonist) has been discovering his humanity, through Komugi. We learn that the royal guards have human traits too. Loyalty and sacrifice. Also, Killua whilst running to Gon, you can hear his footsteps and the noises the bushes make, when throughout the show Killuas movements have always been silent and quiet. Killuas assassin instincts were overloooked compared to his growing bond with Gon.
It's weird how Gon learn everything from his Previous fights, for example, his fight With knuckle stayed thirty days without Nen ... made him get the idea of using all his nen ... It is just like He tried.
Living without nen And it wasn't that bad
this episode is the pinnacle of the anime cliche of traumatic episode and suddnely cheerful outro music.
such an insane episode, between the end of the chimera arc and black sails you guys are truly spoiled with peak fiction when it comes to these latest reactions 🙏
as much as I love black sails, Hunter x Hunter is just levels above, you cannot even compare those two, and this episode proved it again.
The way I've been told to understand what Gon did is that normally, with most abilities and powers, you can set conditions to make your powers more effective. Basically, the person says "Universe, i would like to set condition X for this ability, and in exchange i would like for it to be more powerful by a factor of Y, based on how restricting the X condition is". Then, because you figured it out, and set the condition/price to pay for that extra power, you get it. However what Gon did was write a blank check. He didnt set a condition and request for more power, he said "Universe, I want power Y and I'm going to take it. I dont care what condition or price X you want me to pay, as long as i pay it after I use this power to kill Pitou".
Which is insane when you think about just how much power he had to take to do that
10/10 episode
This ending song hits so hard after you watch the full arc.
