But that is what happened. It flowed logically and it was entertaining
The Troupe absolutely did not break Gon. Even without what happened with Pitou, the Troupe didn't break him. In the Chimera Ant arc, Gon threatened to kill a n innocent bystander to get what he wanted. The only other shonen protagonist to do something like that was Light Yagami
The CA arc was also following a lead left by his father, except his dad is a cowardly deadbeat dad and sent him to the wrong place intentionally.
I'd say the point of the Chimera Ant arc is to show that normal shonen tactics aren't always going to work. If they do work, there is a huge downside.
Gon's blundering got Kite killed. His main attack is inadequate with dealing with the ants. In Naruto, Naruto can use all of these special attacks without consequence after he got the right power ups (Sage Mode and properly utilizing the Fox's chakra). In this, Gon's powered up form brought him to the brink of death. Also, in typical shonen, the protag would fight the main villain. In CA, Gon fought an underling. The old badass guy fought Meruem sacrificed himself to unleash the combined might of humanity: technology (and our assholish nature). In the end, the CA arc ended not with a physical fight like DBZ or Naruto, but with the battle over a soul that Gon barely had any part in. Come to think of it, I don't even think Gon had any interaction with the King.
That said, I can understand some criticisms of the last arc. Pacing issues, overuse of the narrator, etc. If they had more authority, they could have cut down on a lot of stuff and made it a tighter, more enjoyable experience. But anime rarely does that.

Hey new episode! No one has commented still??
We have some action in the ep, but to be honest, it's cheap, using lots of trick in stills to give the feeling of animation instead of the real deal (like in for example Space Dandy). It seems they don't have a lot of budget, with the series finishing soon.

seems that way
subtle things like leaf/grass movement that where more apparent in the Ant arc are now missing
still Hisoka and Illumi comedic scenes are still the best

Great episode. Killua is such a great character, much more nuanced than Gon.

Togashi creates such awesome old characters, in fact, those types of characters tend to be the most terrifying.
Tsubone keeping pace with god speed

Such an absolutely priceless face. He simply does not give a fuck who he trolls, I love Hisoka so much. I also cannot imagine that battle at the end going well at all.

Illumi is scary and his abilities are interesting.
Thanks for posting this. All in all I loved the build up. I'm sad though because by all accounts Gotoh shouldn't survive this fight. Hopefully he escapes and Hisoka still has proven his superiority.
Great Grandpa Zoldyck aka one of the greatest nen users in history. Considering the chart it is hilarious he has gotten to the age (and strength) he can give zero fucks about what is going on.
According to the manga (he was edited out of the anime) the only person to fight him and survive was Netero. Gives you an idea how strong he was.

They do mention Netero being the only one to survive during the anime.

The best thing about that scene was the Pariston face he made.
Holy shit this episode.
Aside from the budget, it was asome and so tense.
Killua's reasoning in the car was the highlight and another show of Togashi's genius.
Hisoka king of trolls and Illumi scary as fuck.
I wasn't expecting things to escalate this quickly, can't wait to see where it goes.
Also lol@ Leorio being 3rd for punching the most hated one.
That's really useful (and weirdly funny) thanks!
Can't really imagine Silva and Kikyo(?) act in love ahah.

Just seeing that few seconds of Killua use Godspeed...so sick. I hope we get to see him use it in a movie.

Animation in this ep was next level shitty, a huge downgrade from the usual..hope its back for Hisoka and Gotoh's fight.
Eh, been noticing it for a while now. I can't recall the older episode's animation that well, and the show has neve had the budget of say, Korra. But the animation hasn't been so hot for quite some time now.
Which is sad but not the worst thing in the world. This arc is so damn entertaining despite that.

I love that Ging actually got pity votes for getting punched.
That's a very very good question. So many stills and weird cuts.
For some reason I had trouble following the scene transition in the latest episode, especially during the
. Everything just flashed by without much thought into it, it felt like. Strange, as I've even read the manga. The anime just left me confused. The cuts were very off in general this episode.
... at least Alluka is really moe. <3

Grr Hisoka. So vile yet always lovable when on screen. Honestly want a stalemate since I like Gotoh alot as well
Illumi looked quite gruesome, they captured the feeling of the panel well. I've always found Illumi to be a very disturbing character, not only because of his twisted thought patterns and behavior, but the sheer raw power backing it up too. Illumi has been setup well I believe.
Tsubone is holding it down, keeping pace with Killua's Godspeed. I also love her design frankly, just a really intimidating granny. Looking forward to Hisoka vs Gotoh, should be fun.

Alluka is super adorable.
This fight between Gotoh and Hisoka hurts me because I like both characters. Can't you guys just shake hands and walk the other way? Please?

This episode made me wonder, but does Hisoka have any interest in fighting Biscuit, and if he doesn't, why not?
Also, I like that Goreinu and Tsezguerra are buddies after Greed Island. I wonder what Genthru is up to these days though?

Illumi is intense. I love the concept of an inner mission, whenever the family has a conflict it's suddenly a no holds barren free for all with the only restriction being don't kill other family members. Totally fits them.
And yeah Tsubone is amazing, I love her. Makes her even better when she's contrasted with Amane's screwup in the car.

Hisoka is weird. I always think of it as he doesn't want to fight strong people, he just wants to fight interesting people. Bisky may just be too generic/boring for him to care about.
I enjoyed this episode, and didn't even notice the animation quality until after you guys brought it up, but it's definitely down a few levels from normal. I actually just noticed that Hisoka and Illumi dress very similarly.
also that Hisoka face is fantastic
I've found some conflicting viewpoints about the nature of Kanmuru, but I think this episode proves that Danko Seka does increase his movement speed if the manga and previous episodes hadn't already.
maybe hisoka has never properly gauged biscuits power. he didn't really have any reaction to her when he met her at greed island. since she transforms then maybe her kid form seems weak to most hunters.
She is definitely concealing her power level in kiddy form.
