Good strategy from Gon to escape from cave though it’s reckless. That recklessness is what makes Gon unique. Then Netero interviews everyone who passed. Thought Hisoka would fight Netero as he’s obsessed with strong opponents. Balanced, fun episode with solid hints for next episode.

Surprisingly tense for an interview. Who knew asking questions could be more dangerous than fighting? It’s a nice change of pace, showing that being a Hunter requires brains, not just brawn. Don't skip; the insight into Netero is worth it.

A great episode with a big-brain moment for our MC. Gon is definitely the MVP here. I’m really excited to see what the Final Phase will bring next.

Episode Context

A transitional episode that trades raw combat for tension and psychological pressure. Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and the rest of the surviving examinees face a situation that demands sharp thinking over brute strength. The pacing stays tight, never letting the suspense drop as the group works through a scenario where every decision carries weight. There's a strong undercurrent of camaraderie here, the bonds formed through earlier trials are tested and reinforced as characters lean on each other's strengths. Expect moments of genuine cleverness from the cast, particularly Gon, whose instincts continue to set him apart. The episode balances its more cerebral approach with enough urgency to keep things engaging, and the shift in tone from the previous phase's survival intensity signals that the exam is evolving into something different entirely.
