The Hisoka vs Kastro Nen fight was the highlight. Super satisfying seeing Hisoka finally cornered! Ends on a cliffhanger though, so now I’m hyped for the next episode.

The Heaven’s Arena arc feels slower, but it makes sense since it introduces a whole new power system. This episode adds depth to side characters, not just the MCs.
