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.

I know. Let me ask this: What if they would have just ignored the stand and walked away? Think they would have been disqualified? She said they would and if the rules don't matter...

Anime cliche #376: YOU BUMPED INTO MY SHOULDER, THAT PISSES ME OFF

 

[Raxus]

So...

Spoiler

How does he do this?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Troll King Tonpa and Killer Joker Hisoka

 

[Hellwarden]

Technology wise...they are pretty much equal to us except no airplanes.

Huh, interesting.

Also, does one need their arms to be a good hunter? Kappa

 

[BBboy20]

Who did he try killing?

 

[Seda]

I haven't really scrutinized this closely, but for the Q&A test, I guess that the best way to think about it is that: the was to "pass" was to not answer at all. I don't think there was any stipulation that they had to answer the question.

If they answered, it had to be one of the choices, yes. But they didn't have to answer.

 

[B-Dubs]

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

Spoiler

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.

Ahh, but (also super spoilers) when

Spoiler

Ging used Leorio's nen he noted how it could be used to diagnose and operate on patients without opening them up. His nen is pretty medical focused, but he can still use it for combat.

 

[Raxus]

Who did he try killing?

Spoiler

We met the guy in the last new episode. He had the 4 knives before Hisoka murdered him.

 

[Man God]

It's not a trick...


IT'S AN ILLUSION!

 

[Schadenfreude]

I'm lactose intolerant so Tonpa could do the same to me with some regular cheese.

So...

Spoiler

How does he do this?

You want to know?

 

[Zonic]

WILL THEY AVOID THE TRAPS, OR GET THE CRAPS

That's what everyone is saying but she clearly said you "must" answer. So, the rules she said was a lie. I don't know why this bugs me so much but it's dumb. You can't say people can be disqualified if they don't do something and then let them pass when they... don't do something!

 

[Zonic]

omg, did they get Chris Sabat to voice that guy who looks like Piccolo in the OPM commercial?

Props to Viz, that's great.

 

[BBboy20]

I think Chris Sabat voices Vaccine Man.

 

[lazybones18]

Tonpa is lucky Hisoka never tried killing him

 

[Raxus]

I'm lactose intolerant so Tonpa could do the same to me with some regular cheese.



You want to know?

PM me.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Tonpa is lucky Hisoka never tried killing him

He must have never tried to Rookie break him or he wouldn't be here now.

Toonami better put HxH on hiatus until we get the manga back from hiatus, its only fair.

 

[BBboy20]

Madhouse being stuck with two manga adaptations stuck on hiatus?

 

[Seda]

That's what everyone is saying but she clearly said you "Must" answer or they are disqualified. So, the rules she said was a lie. I don't know why this bugs me so much but it's dumb. You can't say people can be disqualified if they don't do something and then let them pass when they... don't do something!

"Your answer must be either the number one or two."

I don't think this stipulates that the question has to be answered. I read a difference between:

'The answer must be'

and

'You must answer' (if it was this I would be with you)

 

[Zonic]

& then Tonpa was forced to drink the juice as equivalent exchange.

 

[Man God]

One punch ninja.

 

[B-Dubs]

HE SEEKS THE LEGENDARY SCROLL!!

 

[Hellwarden]

You know, you would think someone would kill Tonpa if he's been doing this for so long.

 

[RagnarokX]

That's what everyone is saying but she clearly said you "must" answer. So, the rules she said was a lie. I don't know why this bugs me so much but it's dumb. You can't say people can be disqualified if they don't do something and then let them pass when they... don't do something!

Think of it this way:

The old woman has kidnapped your son and your daughter. You can only save one. If you answer anything other than 1 or 2 you will be killed. Choose 1 for your son or 2 for your daughter.

The question doesn't say that your son and daughter will both die if you don't answer, so it can be implied that you sacrifice yourself to save both of them or risk your life to save both. But by choosing 1 or 2 your are choosing to kill one of them.

 

[Raxus]

Ninja'ing is serious business.

 

[Zonic]

IT'S ANIME PINHEAD

 

[Mizerman]

Tonpa the Troll

 

[Regiruler]

NICHOLAS

 

[Zonic]

....so do we ever meet the person who made the most attempts, if Tonpa is the 2nd highest repeat taker?

 

[lazybones18]

Nicholas is such a little punk lol

 

[Dangansona]

Oooh, like One Punch Man I think it is the secondary characters in this show that will initially grab me.

 

[Raxus]

The moment DTL launched 1000 ships.

No we don't know if he has a mouth....we will never know, it's the true mystery of HxH.

 

[ckohler]

"Your answer must be either the number one or two."

I don't think this stipulates that the question has to be answered. I read a difference between:

'The answer must be'

and

'You must answer' (if it was this I would be with you)

I see. That makes sense as long as you don't consider their silence as an answer. I think I was considering that their answer... which wasn't one of the choices. What you guys are saying is that they didn't actually answer. I suppose that's what happened.

Think of it this way:

The old woman has kidnapped your son and your daughter. You can only save one. If you answer anything other than 1 or 2 you will be killed. Choose 1 for your son or 2 for your daughter.

The question doesn't say that your son and daughter will both die if you don't answer, so it can be implied that you sacrifice yourself to save both of them or risk your life to save both. But by choosing 1 or 2 your are choosing to kill one of them.

Yeah, I get the riddle. I was hung up on the rules of the game.

 

[Regiruler]

The first phase makes the other phases look like cakewalks.

 

[Seda]

Yeah, that's the crux of it.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Fucking jump on Satotz's back dammit!!!

 

[Regiruler]

Mustache guy is my favorite design in the entire show behind hisoka so far.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

 

[Schadenfreude]

The narrator is super mean about stuff. "One applicant is disqualified..." HIS FUCKING ARMS WERE CUT OFF!!! Jerk. Time for more Hunter x Hunter.

 

[BBboy20]

Spotted Tony Oliver's name in the credits.

 

[Zonic]

Ya know, how the HELL did that one fat guy who would later complain about the cooking exam make it through the running part? Remember, they had to run an INSANE length.

By then he must have been pretty frustrated.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Oh, you.

He's not fat. He has a muscle gut.

Dropping out after this ep.
