I really liked this episode. Nothing too shocking happened since it mainly focused on Gon and Killua's training. The overall atmosphere was tense but balanced by some lighter moments across the different POVs. It also made me curious about what Netero and the others are planning.

I can't with Knuckle 😭 This episode was ridiculous in the best way possible, and I already love his dynamic with the kids. The pacing was solid, and the multiple POVs did a great job showing what was happening in different places. Overall, it was a strong episode focused on strategy and training.

This episode was really good at showcasing Knuckle's character. I knew his tough-guy persona would be funny, but I didn't expect him to be this lovable too. He honestly reminded me of Kazuma Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho. The animation and pacing felt just right, setting up one of the major turning points of the arc.

Episode Context

Sitting at episode 87 of 148, this falls deep into Hunter x Hunter's extended training and escalation phase leading into one of the series' most ambitious arcs. It builds directly on the intensified regimen established in prior episodes under Biscuit and introduces Knuckle as a key measuring stick for Gon and Killua's combat readiness. The groundwork laid here feeds directly into the strategic battles and personal breakthroughs that define the episodes immediately ahead.
