Right, not sticking around for the insomnia cure hour, good night.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

How does nen "know" who is a spider or not.

I'm guessing it has to do with Kurapika knowing them.

 

[Regiruler]

I'm confused: isn't Kurapika's nen type to simply conjure things?

Speaking of: can you conjure food with it?

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

that's the last major nen lesson, lol.

"A Proof of my conviction-"
"Kurapika watch out-"
"I will die instantly if I-"
"Please watch the road-!"

God. Tonight's been pretty funny.

Yep, Kurapika's going to get them all killed if he doesn't focus on the road. I watch it befor, but it still got to me.

And yeah, tonight's had some funny moments along with weird/gross.

 

[Crocodile]

That contract thing seems random and out of the blue but I guess anything for a short term power-up

 

[ramoisdead]

Yeah I'm thinking I'm done with Toonami early thanks to no One Piece. Laters.

 

[Ray Down]

Going back to playing FFXV. See ya guys

Come back for Naruto at least!

 

[theCalamity]

And Chain Jail is pretty fucking powerful. It keeps the target from using any nen and in the world of HxH, without nen, you're pretty much a walking corpse.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Time for the Dead Hour.

Good night, fellas.

 

[Htown]

So here is how you make Nen powers more powerful.

I was just going to say I kind of like this idea.

I didn't feel like Kurapika had been built up as strong enough to do something like that, but attaching a fatal downside to using the ability outside of a specific context is a nice way to have strong powers without having everything go out of control.

 

[Moaradin]

It's a concept that sticks with the rest of the series. Definitely not random.

 

[Seda]

It isn't the nen as much as a pact he made with himself. Chain Jail is sealed unless he fights a spider.

My first thought is that Hisoka is apparently only masquerading as a "spider" and he isn't truly aligned with them (I'm not familiar with future events but the show said this plainly and directly), so I'm wondering would using "Chain Jail" on Hisoka count against Kurapika or not.

Sounds like that spell in Harry Potter where you have to keep a promise and if you break it you die... except in this case it gives you crazy power too boot.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Banagher should start moralizing to Jack how wrong to kill it is.

[Ashby]

I'm surprised at the positive reception to Kurapika's restriction. I mean, it's not much of a restriction when the whole reason you want power is take out the people you're restricted to using that power against.

 

[Mizerman]

Now, I'm gonna take a break.

 

[Raxus]

Preview of the next HxH episode.

 

[Hellwarden]

There's nothing that kills momentum in a show like a ENTIRE SHOW RECAP at the beginning every time!

 

[Tacorona72]

Well, I guess I'm out of here. Night, peeps.

 

[RampagingSoul]

What's Unicorn without the recap?! It makes the show that much better!

 

[cntr]

My first thought is that Hisoka is apparently only masquerading as a "spider" and he isn't truly aligned with them (I'm not familiar with future events but the show said this plainly and directly), so I'm wondering would using "Chain Jail" on Hisoka count against Kurapika or not.

I forget or not if it comes up later, but with the way nen powers usually go, it based on what Kurapika himself believes, since it's his power.

last general nen lesson.

 

[ckohler]

Full... Frontal.. will never sound dumb.

 

[Man God]

My first thought is that Hisoka is apparently only masquerading as a "spider" and he isn't truly aligned with them (I'm not familiar with future events but the show said this plainly and directly), so I'm wondering would using "Chain Jail" on Hisoka count against Kurapika or not.

It's from his perspective as it's a contract on his own heart. If he saw the tattoo on him he'd go nuts and his powers would kick in.

That was my initial thought too when I first watched this, seems likely Kurapika would be screwed.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It's Gon and Killua's Hunterpedia!

Next Time: Restraint x And x Vow!

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

I'm surprised at the positive reception to Kurapika's restriction. I mean, it's not much of a restriction when the whole reason you want power is take out the people you're restricted to using that power against.

The restriction is his powers are all but useless on anyone else. He's essentially left himself defenseless against anyone who is not a Spider. It shows how single-minded he actually is about making them his top priority above everything else.

 

[Man God]

Gundam Unicron works on the same bullshit by the way.

 

[Htown]

oh right, I guess Gundam got demoted.

Damn I wish I cared about this show, because it's gorgeous

 

[Hellwarden]

Man, it's rough being the ground troops in a Gundam show.

 

[Korigama]

Unicorn later for me. Gonna go see as much of what I missed from Samurai Jack as I can for now (forgot I was going to do that with Sand Whale and Me screwing up the start times, so stuck rewatching the first five minutes on the Wednesday replay).

 

[Schadenfreude]

What did Banagher think a battle was going to be like?

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Or he's just really stupid?

 

[theCalamity]

The restriction is his powers are all but useless on anyone else. He's essentially left himself defenseless against anyone who is not a Spider. It shows how single-minded he actually is about making them his top priority above everything else.

It's a wonderful way to show someone's character through their ability.

 

[Man God]

Or he's just really stupid?

He's incredibly naive.

 

[BBboy20]

Did he forget he is important?

 

[MetatronM]

I'm surprised at the positive reception to Kurapika's restriction. I mean, it's not much of a restriction when the whole reason you want power is take out the people you're restricted to using that power against.

It's a two-part thing. It's not just the restriction that matters but what you give up in the process. Since his consequences for breaking the contract are basically the biggest possible consequences he could possibly inflict ("I get stabbed in the heart and die instantly"), the buff that the restriction gives gets maximized.

 

[Kaizer]

Well, I'm off to get caught up on Samurai Jack, night everyone!

 

[ckohler]

War is bad, M'kay?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Those other guys seem awfully content to let Banagher beat the shit out of their captain.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Watch dem sissies slap fight.

 

[Regiruler]

This episode is going a lot better.

 

[Man God]

Banger does what Kamille don't.

 

[Grexeno]

Mikazuki would have just fucked up his shit without a word.

Come back Mikazuki

 

[Htown]

okay I'm out

these speeches suck

 

[nintendoman58]

So I take it y'all enjoyed that HxH ep?

 

[BBboy20]

"I swear I'll AUghhh"

Oh, the dialogue is getting worst.

 

[Moaradin]

I tune out so fast with this show

 

[Raxus]

A full grown man just got his ass kicked by this kid. He should just shoot himself now. He forever lost his man card. Might as well be called Kamille.
