there's a difference between good character development and going Evangelion TV episode 25 in the middle of a shonen series.
Oh
Come.The.Fuck.On.
HxH showed the pure desperation of the protagonist while Evangelion tried to mindfuck the viewer for no fucking reasons other than to mindfuck them
I'd say they both are the result of each production's budgetary constraints.

The episode, while good, could have been a lot better if they ended at a certain point and didn't stretch out the material

I hope the lazy drawings will be gone when the manga returns next month.
I cant take it.
Togashi pls.

Not sure if you're just poking fun at purists, but Kite/Guts are correct translations. Pronunciation for both examples is also similar to their English counterparts. (Again, my bad if you're joking. Sometimes I can be slow.)
Not sure there's an official spelling for that one.
(and if there were, it'd probably be something ridiculous like "Kiattro" or "Hqyyht")
Considering the source (you should really remove that, by the way, luxstellarum), I doubt it. Not that it makes much of a difference here.
i'm not at home but the font looked better in the Viz version and that's about all I remember.
Ah, thanks for the infos guys; so Kite it is
And his not-shitty-drawn stuff looks pretty good, didn't know he was this talented

What about that whole Zolo thing tho?
Kaito is one of the Japanese words for a kite. It's a transliteration like nakkuru = knuckle.
"Kaito" also is a Japanese name.

I haven't watched the latest episode yet but as a huge HxH fan and a manga reader I want to know what are the anime only viewer expectations on the confrontation between Gon and Pitou.
I remember trying to figure out how the battle would ensure between the two when I read the manga and got me all excited when they released how it all folded out!

Well, after seeing recent episode and the gifs on some pages before, here's my theory:
- Pitou heals itself and turns into crazy-murder-mode
- Gon stops giving himself the guilt for what happened to Kite
- Gon will finally realize what pieces of shit Pitou and the other ants are and become a super sayajin
- Gon will defeat Pitou against all odds
I don't know, i fear they're going with the berserk mode stereotype where gon goes absolutely batshit and beat the shit out of Pitou, who should be able to kill him with one arm.
Either that, or Pitou will be ablo to talk his way out of this.
Seems like everyone is too far to come in Gon's help, i guess Knov/Morel could show up, but even then the outcome wouldn't change.
Anime only here
Something is definitely wrong with gon. I'm expecting something like him getting a special class nen or some ass pull due to the spilt personality? or the dark nen around him.
or maybe he remembered how kurapika defeated the spiders with that special pact thing. maybe he made it that he can only defeat ants now?
just give me the fight I am dying here.

You know he's a dude right
Gender has never been confirmed.
Isn't he a IT? PLESE TELL ME IS A GENDERLESS CREATURE OH GOD I'M FEELING SO GUILTY.
Also, all of Pitou's cosplay are pretty hawt.
And "Gyro", like Pegosaurus pointed out. For all those, the source is pretty clear, sure (although, once again, I bet they'd get silly alphabet spellings anyway).
And "Kaito" would fit with other Japanese-sounding names...

It's a fucking ant. Just go stick your dick in an anthill and be done with it.
You are now imagining ants in your urethra

Isn't the manga translated with masculine pronouns when referring to Pitou?
(Chimera) Ants are a bunch of males and a female queen. The human/mammal thing is bleeding through with the "worker/guard" ants, and some of them are showing up with feminine traits despite technically being male.
Hence..weirdness.
_/¯
Official data book refers TO pitou's gender using the word he, though I do feel there are some big differences in Pitou's depictions in the anime and manga.
In addition IIRC the Ant Queen can only give birth to males. Although Togashi might have been inconsistent with this.
Yeah in the anime they're obviously going for the kawaii psycho killer with cat traits.
Ah. Hm. Well, maybe Kaito is Kite because
his arm went flying?
Aren't the majority of them more odd/borrowed than they are Japanese? (Biscuit Kreuger? Silver Zoldyck? Canary? The Royal Guards? Etc. ) Overall I'm mostly indifferent about name preferences, but I always thought Kite seemed like the more probable spelling.
