Absolutely agreed. This was the type of interpretation that enabled me to appreciate the scene.
Too many innocent citizens in the vicinity of the castle
Weren't ~5 million of them chosen for the selection?

All of the ants in this arc had that kind of wake up call.
They wanted to minimize casualties, I think. Doesn't really explain the dragon dive, though.
What about the nest in the middle of nowhere earlier in the arc? You even have the guy who can bloody teleport things in to places so The nukes seem out of place in the HxH universe if you ask me.
There are reasons.
Also the dragon dive was used directly on the palace, a place only chimera ants were presumed to be in.

His reasoning for the dragon dive is
"It was fucking metal yo, fucking dragons and giant falling meteor things god I need some cocaine"

There's a reason the nuke had to be used away from the castle, keep watching.
They only used the Dragon Dive in the direct vincity of the palace though. Since it's a Nen attack the range can be determined pretty safely, I assume. If Zeno wants it to only cover the palace, it will only cover the palace.

I presume it has to be for political reasons.

Zeno says himself how he has never killed an innocent while on a mission, the DD was a calculated move meant only for the Ants, Komugi was a factor that no one saw coming.

I've been waiting for reactions to this moment for a long time.It was so badass when I read it.
Oh yeah, you're right he was using a lot of Nen abilities, just didn't didn't bust out a Hatsu. I also can't wait to see the rest of the arc animated.
Yeah. I was just laughing at how casual he was with the two kids.
I thought the world keeping what happen on that country in secret, and Netero already commenting they want the Hunter organization to take blame, so there's that.

I haven't read the manga but it's pretty obvious I think...

Amazing episode! So glad they didn't cut away and stayed with the fight for the entire time.
I'm sure the next few episodes will deal with the fallout, but I really wanna see what happens with Gon vs Pitou!

It probably is, but that was not a smart post to make. I don't want to get too much into this, but why would someone want to call attention to that.
Umm...I actually knew about the nuke beforehand, but I'll just say there's another reason why it couldn't be used close to civilians.

I hope the Blu Rays change some of the lines for this. For me malice > evolution (I like both terms though.
But this mistranslation is criminal. Am I allowed to post manga panels from past episodes? If not I'll remove it.

Welp, I'm outta this thread until the next few eps. Even the 'there is a reason why they didn't use the nuke' talk is kinda spoilering me already. Or anything that has yet to happen in the manga really
Err, didn't translation is more to how different translator interpreting thing?
And in episode Netero clearly said "Mushi" that if translated to english will mean as bug, so its not mistranslation if that what you implying.

I would have never guessed there was another reason otherwise.Welp, I'm outta this thread until the next few eps. Even the 'there is a reason why they didn't use the nuke' talk is kinda spoilering me already. Or anything that has yet to happen in the manga really
Yeah, in this situation, it would be the Japanese script/scenario writer you're having beef with. He definitely said "bug/insect".

We should probably change the subtitle from
NO MANGA SPOILERS
to
NO MANGA DISCUSSION/TEASES
NO MANGA SPOILERS
to
NO MANGA DISCUSSION/TEASES

Oh no, I'm not complaining about the teases. I know it comes with the territory of reading about these stuff on GAF and know they aren't spoilers per se. I want to have my mind blown without being told 'wait til you see the next mind blown event!', hence my voluntary black out
I don't think he consumed anyone that helped out.
The aura was mostly all him for the fight.
It's not like nen users grow on trees.
I think it's a legitimate thing to expect from an anime-thread to be able to enter it without worrying about those things.Oh no, I'm not complaining about the teases.

People got a bit excited because of the latest episode but as long as people who are annoyed by it voice it out, it will hopefully calm down. I'm not really sure about any other solution, but I think blacking out on the thread is a shame... discussing is fun.

Agreed.
Oh, really? I thought it made sense in the context of the King since Netero had the nuke to use, even if he had to die himself to use it. Netero had the last laugh and such.

I thought that was obvious
Both work, which is why a lot of Japanese readers have long been confused as to whose line that was exactly: Netero's or the King's? The animated adaptation has finally clarified that.
The fact remains that the line says "you were in checkmate from the beginning", so the English translation messed up.
And yet...

Hunter X Hunter 2011 Episode 124
So that's what happened to Palm.
So that's what happened to Palm.
Honestly because of Palm's characterization, Palm could have just been anry at Killua and I would be legit accept that, even if it's played up as a joke.

I forgot this arc just turns into DBZ. Man I don't even know what the new arc is gonna be like next with the mangas return. lol.
I think that was Palm straight up, just more unrestrained.

It gets as bad as aSoIaF readers who come into discussions of the tv show and drop in a pun or a hint about the future of a character and start giggling like idiots. Congratulations you read a book millions of others have
We knew his name way before this episode.
Dang, so ignorant of me then which episode is that?
It was in episode 92.

I don't mind if somebody says "there are two more fights so maybe 3-4 more episodes of bla bla" because that just tells me what to expect and it's very vague.
But if somebody says "dude if you thought that fight was awesome, later on there's a surprise fight between Kurapika and a slice of cabbage with nen powers that's like great. I can't wait till you see it" that does ruin it for me. Because now the surprise of said magical cabbage was ruined.

This does bother me. Why would I want to know what to expect? Especially in a show like this?
Yeah, I was like... why would you say that? I keep going "Yes, X gets answered" simply to try and stop people from giving away more info than they should.
