Iirc he has different powers depending on his condition. He's a conjurer but when he reaches a heightened emotional state his eyes turn scarlet and he becomes a specialist.

He made a vow that he would die if he used his chain to imprison anyone who was not a member of the Ryodan. That gave him an unbreakable chain and may have boosted his powers in the process. I can't exactly remember the explanation for his powers. It's either his Emperor Time activates in times of heightened emotion or his vow makes him even stronger.

It's the multiplicative effect of both that makes him bullshit-tier when facing the Spiders.

The problem is that when he isn't facing them, he only gets the E. Time powers, and those have some pretty severe handicaps associated with them. They're also not great combat powers.

 

[Clegg]

They're only broken on a handful of people that he really, really doesn't like.

I think Emperor Time can work against anyone though. That's still pretty broken.

Do they? Tbh I can't remember what the drawbacks are. And being able to use 100% of every nen category sounds pretty useful for combat situations. There's a lot of stuff that is left vague in the anime (and the manga too). I've only recently learned of certain limitations and conditions for Kite's hatsu even though I thought I'd known all of them.

Using E.Time for an extended period makes him really sick. Great for short bursts, not dependable.

Only the Zetsu chain has any restrictions.

All his other abilities work on anyone else. >.>

Edit: I'm still extremely confused as to how he tanked a Nen-powered punch from Uvogin. Emperor Time only allows him to utilize his Enhancer capabilities at 100% efficiency (i.e. no difficulties/wasted Nen). It doesn't suddenly make him a super-saiyan because he's still a scrub Enhancer.

He kinda tanked it- he broke his arm in the process and had to heal it.

I'd avoid reading through this thread since there's unmarked spoilers and gifs everywhere.

But impressions are always welcome, so keep us updated! Just don't read anything else.

I think Emperor Time can work against anyone though. That's still pretty broken.

Emperor Time puts a huge strain on his body if he uses it for more than (iirc) a few minutes. Plus he reveals his scarlet eyes when he does which is oftentimes a bad idea for multiple reasons. It's a pretty great trump card and he's God Tier vs spiders which is super impressive considering how strong they are, but even then he might have trouble against more than 1-2 of them at a time. And vs anyone else it's be pretty sketchy in anything but a isolated 1 v 1.

His most used aka "normal" isn't particularly good in combat if the Yorknew arc is anything to go by (Dowsing Chain). It's great for what he does though (gather information about eyes, find people he's looking for, ect).

Don't forget he has a mystery 5th chain that'll asspull him out of any sticky situation he gets himself into. Just in case.

Are the episodes on Netflix all the ones that have been made or subbed?

 

[Moaradin]

Are the episodes on Netflix all the ones that have been made or subbed?

Netflix is 45 episodes behind. You can see the rest here

 

[Jigolo]

Are the episodes on Netflix all the ones that have been made or subbed?

There are 146 total episodes so far. I think Netflix only has 100

 

[ss-hikaru]

Naah it's just great analysis and prediction skills, much like Ging.

Haha ok, thanks for the explanation. Kinda feels like Code Geass levels of prediction

Made it to episode 130/131 and where the hell did what I just see happen come from:

Spoiler

What the fuck was that Gon adult transformation, I was wondering how he was gonna take on a Royal Guard by himself until that happened. It would've been total bullshit if he was able to without that transformation.

Also Pitou is a damn idiot. Aren't the Guards supposed to be ruthless? I thought it was stupid how she just stood there and did nothing while Gon was having a nervous breakdown. Before they got to Kite she had already accepted that she had to kill him so I don't know why she didn't just do it while he was crying on the floor. Even with her broken arm she should've just taken his ass out instead of watching him cry.

 

[Kurtofan]

I don't think he would have let himself be killed even if he had a nervous breakdown.

That scene is a bit drawn out in the anime. If it helps, you can take that it was much shorter than it appeared (as it was in the manga).

 

[plantedunicorn]

I don't know man he seemed pretty out of it, like he didn't even know what was going on around him but as upandaway said the scene just seemed drawn out.

 

[Yonafunu]

Yeah, just keep in mind that the majority of that scene is in Gon's head.

 

[Siegcram]

Yeah, just keep in mind that the majority of that scene is in Gon's head.

Also, anime time > real time.

I'm ready for tomorrow, baby.

Pitou, like Youpei, had a change in character. She got a bit more human. But once she saw Gon as a real threat to the king, she got ruthless again.

Of course, this is just all my interpretation.

She was making a sacrifice play to get Gon away from him. She knew something was up (just like Hisoka does) but clearly wasn't expecting it to turn as nasty as it did.

 

[Jigolo]

Let us reminisce on the episode we got just a short 20 episodes ago.

Yeah, but I bet she would have walked away if asshole Pouf didn't make that call.

Can't wait for class to end, AHHHHH!!!

 

[TheRealTalker]

damn it.... everywhere you go for this series is looming hiatus


manga is not producing chapters again and the anime is ending


DDDD:

 

[antibolo]

That gif looping makes it look like he's in horrible pain.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

146 – Chairman x And x Release

Wow the entire final scene was pretty amazing, all that Killua, I teared up alot. ;( .

I agree with DTL. I didn't really like Gon x Ging, only when the Hunters started yelling at Ging did I start laughing. Killua x Something was damn good though

 

[Sigmaah]

This shows story is so damn beautiful. Why it gotta end tho...

 

[titiklabingapat]

Spoiler

So Alluka tags along them now?

Yay!

 

[Jigolo]

Pariston has become such a complex/interesting character in such a short time. Holy crap this guy is unpredictable. I didn't see that coming.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I thought Ging himself had said that Pariston's objective wasn't to win or lose. What he did seems like exactly what I thought he'd do, based on that.

 

[Dominican Power]

Killua's character has grown so much since the the beginning of the series. You usually won't see that level of growth with his type of character archetype in manga/anime.

 

[upandaway]

Pariston and Killua this arc man. And we saw that Gon was told about Kite becoming an ant (who knows if he knows about Netero). I thought Gon and Ging's meetup was great. They're basically strangers.

Episode was pretty packed.

I thought Ging himself had said that Pariston's objective wasn't to win or lose. What he did seems like exactly what I thought he'd do, based on that.

Pariston's goal isn't just to reach the end without caring for the conclusion, he's supposed to have fun. Ging expected Pariston to continue doing that in the organization.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Hunter x H....

nah, Feels x Feels 146.

Gon and Ging meets finally, though the scene is a bit strange. Which makes sense, neither feels like a real son & father, they are two strangers they just met.
But we have two emotive scenes in addition, we see a great scene with Pariston where he reveals his true motivation and feelings (loved the change of tone of his voice, and when he cleans his teary eyes), and of course the super moe Killua with the super moe Alluka with the now too super moe Nanika.

End result

 

[antibolo]

New PS3 theme released today, kinda looks like a busty, blonde Pitou.

I know it's sad but I kinda want it...

 

[Philippo]

I was so close to cry like a river, goddammit Togashi you can't do this to me.

I know it's sad but I kinda want it...

Busty Pitou you say? I'm with you on the weirdos train man.

 

[Passive Assassin]

that character development. 2 more episodes :l

 

[pelicansurf]

Damn. I shed a few tears. That ending was amazing. Brother x Brother/Sister.

Also cool at finding out that dumb little key Kite conjured up vs. Pitou is his "determined not to die" weapon.

 

[Yonafunu]

I love Pariston so much.

 

[Unbounded]

Dammit Nanika is too friggin' adorable.

 

[Dominican Power]

Netero was the true essence of a hunter.

 

[Jigolo]

When Gon said he "again" did he realize that Kite had spoken to Going about meeting him? Or am I wrong?

 

[umop_3pisdn]

When Gon said he "again" did he realize that Kite had spoken to Going about meeting him? Or am I wrong?

I think it was a realization that Ging was actually waiting for him there during the election, that was the first time, thus warranting an "again".

 

[kewlmyc]

I'm glad that the other hunters agree that Ging is a shitty father.
