And thus the Heaven's Arena arc comes to a close.

So what do you think will happen first? Togashi comes back or

Toonami reaches Greed Island

Togashi comes back.

Spoiler

For two chapters.

Great episode!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Only a few more episodes until best arc, folks.

Next week!

YORKNEW.

 

[ramoisdead]

I hope the next adventure has more Kurapika...even a bit of Leorio.

 

[Crocodile]

Well I guess that is a pretty straight forward goal. MISSION COMPLETE

I guess we are moving onto the Phantom Troupe soon? They've been in the OP and ED for a while now

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Welcome to HxH. lol

Basically, yeah.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hope you guys liked Heaven's Arena. Only gets more crazy from here. Time for Naruto Shippuden.

Definitely the latter.

It was already at maximum.

My boner is Hisoka-v-Gon-levels.

 

[Htown]

The rules of Heaven's Arena were known well in advance.

Did you want one of them to die? There's no way Gon could have won that (and that's what makes HxH great.)

Then honestly I'd prefer for Gon to get stomped more, rather than for there to have been some stupid referee shenaningans.

It was like the ending to a bad WWE pay per view.

Still about 50 episodes until that!

Spoiler

Yorknew is still one of the GOATs

 

[Doctor Decimate]

man Super Mansion feels real by-the-numbers

 

[Mik317]

a worse show would have had Gon asspull out a win or have it be a 10-9 loss. Here he was outclassed for the most part.

This is probably the best part of the show in a sense....it avoids the shonen power creep and automatically greatest ever protag without going in the opposite direction.

Yeah, we're going to get a few quiet (but good) episodes, and then straight into the next arc.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Alright I think I'm out for the night. Was a good week. Night all.

I'm talking about the match as a whole not in-universe semantics of what the fight entailed.

You gotta make Hisoka look strong.

I liked it more in anime form then in manga form. I could hardly remember anything from it re-visiting it here but it was a much better experience for what was essentionally just a really long training arc.

Also, Zushi getting treated like that did legitimately piss me off narrative wise. It probably shouldn't but it does.

Arc doesn't have Pika or Hisoka, not the greatest.

Pretty good though.

(Election Arc was better.)

 

[Regiruler]

HxH doesn't really transition its arcs well.

NARF should never be pronounced

 

[BBboy20]

Heaven's End.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

That would actually, ironically enough, be out of character for Hisoka. His entire interest in Gon is the fact that he has potentially to be a worthy opponent so there would be no reason for him to go all out and try to like cripple the kid before he can reach his potential.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Hunter x Hunter's anti-climaxes are intentional I think though like a few of its other subversions of the genre I don't know that it actually enhances things.

 

[Ray Down]

Ready to see people eat shit.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

I'm about to turn in guys. Got work tomorrow. Night everyone.

I am not a

Time for the rapping Jinchuriki Killer Bee!

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Anyway with Naruto coming next I think it's time to check out.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I guess I'll stick around for some Killer B.
FOOL

I said "best", not "overrated".

Spoiler

Chimera Ant is great, too.

We won't be saying this again for a long time, but don't miss this Naruto episode.

 

[Raxus]

Time to see the Perfect Team™ in action!

 

[Mizerman]

Killer B about to kick the shit out of Sasuke is one of my favorite moments.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i still can't fucking believe Viz named this guy Killer Bee instead of Killer B

 

[Ray Down]

FUCK YOU KARIN, AT LEAST BEE HAS SOMETHING.

 

[Regiruler]

What do her glasses say?

 

[Seda]

This is also like the only episode the A team does anything at all.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Time to check yourself before you reck yourself

okay, but you can do that without having the referee give him like five extra points and have other characters point out that the ref was intentionally trying to end the fight early. It makes the viewer feel like they got cheated out of seeing the full fight, rather than making them feel like Hisoka is super strong.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

The Sauce is OUTCLASSED

Go to a doctor if that doesn't settle soon!

Where did this metal come from?

Some good fights here.

HOLLA FOOL DON'T NEED TO BE CRUEL

suddenly metal

 

[Akainu]

Oh the episode where killer b clowns these fools? I'm in.

 

[Hellwarden]

Yep.

That's some animation.

He is more relevant then me.

Shut these fools up Killer B!
