More Nen class. Gon, Killua, and Zushi train together while a new villain tries to provoke them. But Killua’s an assassin, never forget his aura! So satisfying. Good slow pace that lets you actually follow along.

Love this episode! It highlights the main characters’ personalities and their shared values when it comes to friendship. A classic shounen trait, but executed in a really badass way.

Killua was iconic in this episode. I love how he’s trying to live honestly and stop killing, while still not letting anyone mess with him or Gon. Lol.

Episode Context

Sitting roughly a quarter into Hunter x Hunter's 148-episode run, this episode deepens the Heavens Arena arc following Gon's breakthrough victory in 'A × Surprising × Win' and the pair's accelerating Nen development. It serves as a critical bridge between foundational training and the higher-stakes confrontations ahead, directly setting the stage for 'Power × To × Avenge' where the consequences of this episode's tensions come to a head. The arc itself is building the combat system and character dynamics that will define everything that follows in the series.
