Un nuevo reto para evaluar a los cazadores que pondrá a prueba todas sus habilidades y conocimientos.

El objetivo de Gon resulta ser Hisoka, así que este toma una decisión impresionante que demuestra el talento innato que tiene para adaptarse y ser mejor.

Solid episode. They must steal tag IDs from targets for points. Cool concept. Gon’s target is Hisoka. Gave me goosebumps seeing Gon train to grab Hisoka’s ID. Can’t wait for next episode!

This feels like a video game tutorial level, but way more dangerous. The hunt on Zevil Island is a cool concept, and the stakes feel appropriately personal. It’s a good introduction to the new mechanic. Watch it, or you'll be confused later.

The Fourth Phase begins here, with the focus mainly on Gon as he figures out how to win. It feels like a Battle Royale, lol, which makes the episode even more exciting and intense.

This was a great episode showcasing Gon’s tactics on how to get his target’s badge. It mainly focuses on his strategy, making it engaging to see how he plans and adapts in this phase.

If you enjoy episodes focused on growth, this one’s for you. It highlights Gon’s thinking and strategy for the Fourth Phase, making it a solid and engaging episode overall.

In this episode you can see how gon can adapt quickly. His training of concentration and consistency pays off little by little. The setting of the island and the 4th exam gives the sense of being a hunter... that Greaattt

The title finally lives up to its meaning. Strategy takes over as contestants start hunting each other with patience and mind games instead of brute force. The tension feels sharper here, especially watching how differently each character approaches the same problem.

That serial bomber was really did a number on them, With Gon and the others developing as they navigate through challenges like these. This arc is just peak. I'm glad things are coming together.

Finally, something happens. ep. 14 drops everyone on a new island, and now the exam completely changes. Starting to see who's clever and who's just wandering around. Way better than last week's recap.

Slow start since it’s mostly explaining the new phase, but the anticipation kicks in once we learn who Gon’s target is. The tension builds so well, mainly with the subtle foreshadowing about the guy hunting Gon. Great setup episode that really makes you want to binge the rest.

Zevil Island phase begins and it's basically a free for all. everyone is hunting someone and being hunted at the same time. Gon draws the worst possible target and somehow stays unbothered about it. that's very Gon 🌟

Putting this as a "mid" since it is technically a start of the best phase of Hunter Exam, but there is not yet anything happening in terms of storywise.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off the team-based Trick Tower trials, episode 14 marks a critical pivot point as the Hunter Exam strips away alliances and forces each candidate to operate independently during the fourth phase on Zevil Island. This episode establishes the rules and dynamics that will drive the next stretch of episodes, laying the groundwork for individual confrontations and revealing how characters like Gon approach survival when they can only rely on themselves. It's a transition episode that trades collaborative problem-solving for isolated strategic tension, deepening the exam's escalating stakes.
