But they didn't say one or two. So they broke the rules right? This is a stupid test because it's lying about the rules.

Trick question.

 

[ckohler]

You could choose neither.

Did she actually say that? All I heard was you must say one or two.

 

[grandjedi6]

Remember that Hisoka somehow passed these tests

I think he just did a card trick and people passed him out of fear.

Adult Swim, please stop giving Tim shows. They are just terrible.

She said the only answer you're allowed to say is 1 or 2 and that anything else you say will be considered incorrect.

The whole Hunter exam is mental. It mostly centers on physical fitness exams and martial arts mastery. Hunters, as we now know, can choose to specialize in cooking or medicine or any sort of other things. None of the people that want to do things like that have a need for fighting prowess.

 

[lazybones18]

may Gon never have to face such a situation

 

[Zonic]

I'm still debating if I want to bother with seeing this 2 days before release.

............................but do I REALLY......?

 

[MetatronM]

He didn't necessarily have the same tests. These people are coming from all different directions, and there are tons of people weeding out candidates along the way.

Not bad.

I still am pretty surprised by Mercer's Leorio. It's pretty different from his usual voice.

IT'S A DIGIMON!

QUICK, BEFORE HE DIGIVOLVES!!!

They aren't just cooks and doctors. They are cooks and doctors who get thrown into super dangerous situations.

Also the benefits of being a Hunter are worth it even for cooks and doctors

 

[Zonic]

"Because you just told me, dumbass.

I just felt like whacking him in the head."

 

[Schadenfreude]

I feel like this exam is really dangerous for the examiners too. If Hisoka had to pass through this I'm pretty sure he would have killed that guy.

Gon DA GAWD XD

Wow. In a good way.

 

[Regiruler]

And by killing the unworthy ones?

 

[Raxus]

I just default assume Hisoka just passed every exam we don't see by killing someone.

Just how he rolls.

Nice little detail changing the voice of the monsters slightly.

 

[BlackGhost]

And by killing the unworthy ones?

Lmao, that shit did happen........

 

[Raxus]

I'd like to think Killua got past these guys by showing off his mad skateboarding skills.

She said, and I quote, "Your answer must be either the number one or two. Any answer that is not the number one of two will be deemed incorrect."

They didn't say one or two. Boom, that's an automatic "incorrect".

I get that it's a trick question but if you state up front you're only allowed two options, and then allow for a third, that's just lying about the rules beforehand. That's all I'm saying.

And yes, they are clearly lying through their teeth (like they did about the busses) but once I found out that the rules are sometimes bullshit, I would have a hard time considering anything they say on any tests going forward to actually be true. It's kinda bullshit to even have rules at all if they just lie about them.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I couldn't tell them apart in the Japan version but it was super easy in the English version. Makes me wonder if they purposely changed that for us. Time for another episode of Hunter x Hunter.

They aren't just cooks and doctors. They are cooks and doctors who get thrown into super dangerous situations.

Also the benefits of being a Hunter are worth it even for cooks and doctors

Not necessarily though. A person could become a Hunter and stick themselves in a library for the rest of their days. Hunters have no quotas for getting into stupid situations. But Hunters are allowed to resources that normal people could never have. Imagine if that computer nerd from the exam later had passed and he had all the wealth that comes with being a Hunter. Dude makes super amazing computer software that could change the world. But unfortunately for us, super geniuses don't know MMA. Too bad, world.

Well, I could explain this but it involves spoilers.

 

[lazybones18]

time for nice guy Tonpa

 

[Regiruler]

They're implying that you need to answer 1 or 2 but they didn't technically lie. They never said you actually have to answer anything.

 

[Dangansona]

Live Links? What the hell??

 

[RagnarokX]

To be fair, these tests are preliminary tests to determine the worthiness of candidates to take the exam. These guides would probably be able to determine some candidates like Hisoka are worthy just by looking at them and sensing their auras. If Hisoka went through the exciting quiz he probably would have walked straight to the secret door and openned it himself.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Well, I could explain this but it involves spoilers.

No, i've read all of Hunter x Hunter. Twice. It still doesnt make sense.

 

[Zonic]

I just realized.

That's just a gold version of the stone mask from Jojo Part 1.

 

[ckohler]

"Your answer must be either the number one or two." Doesn't seem like she was implying anything. That sounds like a rule. "Must". Maybe it's just a bad translation.

You gotta be able to use nen to really pass the exam though, and you've usually got to be in decent shape to do that. Outside of like three examples, everyone we've seen use nen has been tough as nails.

 

[Raxus]

I will say this for the 2011 anime. THANK GOD we got to the exam in 3 episodes as opposed to 6.

 

[Zonic]

guys look

cooking

that means shokugeki no soma can be on the block, right

 

[Raxus]

I dunno why Leorio is even slightly surprised they disguised the exam site.

I wonder how many poor saps wind up in the hunter exam expecting a steak combo.

 

[Regiruler]

See you beast man

Aren't they starved by this point? They haven't eaten by this point.

It's even worse where we are in the actual run.

"Your answer must be either the number one or two." Doesn't seem like she was implying anything. That sounds like a rule. "Must". Maybe it's just a bad translation.

It was a test of character. There were actually 3 choices of something you had to give up. You could choose to give up your son, give up your daughter, or give up your qualification. The correct answer was to choose the unstated third option of being disqualified and trying to save both people. Real life doesn't play by rules.

 

[Hellwarden]

Huh, that girl just has a huge rifle.

Guns exist in this universe.

 

[Raxus]

Gon should be a deadbeat dad hunter.

Going from anime to anime knocking sense into so many shounen protag dads.

Okay no more of this. I'm not paying attention to the show. Let's take this to PMs, B-Dubs.

That's what I'm saying! Nen is absolutely useless and just another form of physical fitness that is not needed for doing some of the things Hunters want to do. Just look at Leorio. The dude has been pretty much MIA for entire arcs. My boy Leorio learned Nen and then went to medical school. Dude probably hadn't used Nen in forever until he hit Ging. You could make the argument that Nen aptitude is a sign of true genius and those who are destined to do great things in life will naturally gravitate to the world of Hunters, like the opening narration says, but that's not necessarily true. Some geniuses are just plain old geniuses who still have a hint of nen within them.

Super spoilers do not click.
