Episode 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.
