VerifiedPor fin logran llegar al sitio del examen donde varios participantes ya han llegado. Un personaje que disfruta arruinar novatos no logra engañar a Gon gracias sus sentidos agudizados por vivir en las montañas. Y conocemos Killua, quien sorpresivamente ningún veneno le hace efecto.

VerifiedWe finally see some progress. The first 9 minutes are slow-paced since they haven’t reached the exam site yet. After that, once they arrive, we’re introduced to various characters who seem important and pretty intimidating. Looking forward to learning each of their abilities!

VerifiedOkay, THIS is where Hunter × Hunter starts flexing. From shady rookies to that creepy magician intro… yeah, the tone shifts fast. The vibes are already chaotic and I love how it quietly builds tension. Not flashy, but still don’t skip—this sets up key players.
reirei
VerifiedA great episode for establishing the storyline further—new characters, rising tension, and higher stakes. It’s very intriguing and does a good job of pulling you in, making it hard not to keep watching.

VerifiedLove this episode. Gon really looks like a kid caught between his bickering parents as Leorio and Kurapika argue—lmao. Poor baby. It was such a funny yet charming moment that made their dynamic even more entertaining.
sandaime
VerifiedThis was a strong episode that introduces new characters while setting up the story nicely for what’s to come. It builds intrigue and keeps things engaging, making you curious about how everything will unfold next.

VerifiedThe tone shifts here. The exam starts feeling more intense and unpredictable. You realize this journey is not going to be simple. The atmosphere changes in a way that keeps you locked in.

VerifiedThis episode, the exam is combination of perseverance and consistency. some are revealing their ability. This will be the beginning of their hard exam

VerifiedNow the exam actually begins and the show widens its scope. New personalities flood in and the tone shifts toward competition — the energy lifts and momentum grows. If you enjoy a series that scales up from cozy to tense, this is where it starts to click.

VerifiedEpisode 3 creates a sense of mystery as it introduces more characters to the story. Tonpa will get a lot of hate because of his motive in the exam, while hisoka or killua creates attraction for how they are introduced in the episode.

Yoo i won't lie the way this boy jumped unto that ship at the beginning with that Mr. Leorio was very unrealistic, i was laughing like crazy just having seeing that. But aside that storm was crazy, and this kid is much one too. All to be a hunter

It started out slow as it introduces a bunch of new characters. I like how informative the introduction of the other characters and to know who to watch out for. One thing I know for sure is I HATE TONPA! Really excited to watch the next ep since it ended on a cliffhanger.

The exam intensifies as exhaustion sets in and competitors begin revealing their true capabilities. Rivalries surface, adaptability becomes critical, and survival depends on reading both the environment and the people around you.

the exam site is not what anyone expected and that sets the tone perfectly. Tonpa sliding in as the friendly veteran is immediately sus and Hisoka's intro makes it very clear he's not someone you want to mess with. the real game is starting 🌟

In Hunter x Hunter Episode 3, Gon and his new friends arrive at the Hunter Exam site. They face their first major test, a grueling trial that challenges their physical and mental limits. The stakes are high, and the competition begins to heat up as they move forward.

Other than the introduction of Kilua, honestly there is nothing major happening.

VerifiedEPISODE CONTEXT
After episodes 1-2 established Gon's motivation and the journey to the exam site alongside Kurapika and Leorio, this episode is the true gateway into the Hunter Exam arc — the show's first major proving ground across its 148-episode run. It introduces key players like Hisoka and Killua who will become central to the series long-term, and sets the competitive, high-stakes tone that will define the trials ahead.
