The pacing of this episode was really good, focusing more on the intense final fight with multiple POVs. Killua's POV felt so real, though, as if you were really there with him. I kinda feel bad for him, but I hope he overcomes his inner conflict.

Knuckle's Nen ability made my brain short-circuit, lol. I'm Gon in that situation, to be honest. This episode was full of tension, mostly for Killua, though. The way it was delivered was really good, as if I could actually feel Killua's inner thoughts.

I really liked this episode. Knuckle and Gon's dynamics were pretty cool. Just the nice guys fighting each other in some friendly brawl or somethin', lol. That cliffhanger at the end made things a little more exciting for what's coming next.

Episode Context

Sitting at roughly the 60% mark of the full 148-episode run, episode 90 lands deep in one of Hunter x Hunter's most ambitious and narratively dense arcs. It follows directly from 'Compassion × And × Strength,' where Gon and Killua steeled themselves for direct confrontation, and now delivers on that buildup with decisive action. The stage is set for 'The Strong × And × The Weak,' signaling that the power dynamics established here will have immediate and escalating consequences.
