it was clear here how crazy he is
the whole fight was completely unnecessary and he would have gotten minimal injuries by just following the plan from the beginning
but nope
Gon, Ging and Hisoka are a deconstructed Goku Holy Trinity.
You see glimpses of it beforehand, but god damn the way it's played out isn't smart if you're Gon. He had no plan, just "git your ass beat till you hit him." That's not how Killua roles, not even Kurapika.
In the Super thread I occasionally compare Goku to Ging in the bad father department. At least Goku has the excuse of "I was fucking dead" for missing out on raising his kids. Ging just didn't give a fuck. Who is Gon's Green Dad? Mitou?
Gon has Goku's dumb as rocks/aloof personality and complete indifference to consequence and thinking ahead. Also the rock/paper/scissors technique.
Ging is the perpetually absent father disinterested in raising his kid
Hisoka is obsessed with seeking out stronger and stronger foes to challenge
I guess almost dying in his own spirit bomb combined with Jiren's strength made Goku climax in ecstasy.
Since the last time I had posted, I have reach episode 122. Last time I posted was around the last Gungi match, I think even before Morel Vs Leol. There is so much to talk about, so many wtf swerves, so many Gon es Loco freak outs, good lord. I am going to write it all up later when I reach the end but for now:
Highlights so far are Youpi, motherfucking NEN dragons outta nowhere, and character development. Seriously, how is there so much character development?

I love this.
A shame we didn't get a shining hard on from Goku Black
That sweet, sweet development. That isn't the end of it either. Keep going!Since the last time I had posted, I have reach episode 122.

I mean, imagine this dude in his prime. He might have been able to take Meruem if he had faced him at his peak.
There are like 4 or 5 "that episode!" episodes in the second half of the CA arc lol
126, 131, 135 and 136 easily could be "that" episode. Even 116 is a stand out.
116 is definitley a that episode. The music, pacing and mood is too on point.
Maybe, granted Meruem was way more durable than any human.
I already have a couple of that episodes, Godspeed and Youli's change of heart, and the reveal of 100 Mode God Buhdavista. Or was godspeed and the change of heart two episodes? Either way, after Netero and King leave, and the first round against the Royal Guard, each episode left me floored and asking for more. You guys are killing me just name drooping all those eps.
You ain't dead till 131 then 135 and 136 will kill you further and grind your soul into dust. Godspeed is a great moment because I think it's the first time he uses it. Really shows that Killua came a long fucking way in a short amount of time. Also Youpi gaining a sense of honor and respect mid battle is great.
That intro stare down between Pitou and Gon is epic followed by Gon's temper tantrum is chilling. The music used for it makes that scene excellent voice acting too.
They made Gon look buff as fuck in that scene.
Ep 131 is that shit that make your soul burn slow tier. It's great, but I have watched it twice and cried. My body is like, "I"m done" once the music starts.
Even 111 is amazing with Netero flashback and the "Bad move little ant" line.
If Super Gon, according to Pitou, could potentially get Meruem then i think Prime Netero could do it too, he should be in that tier. Now post-rose Meruem i don't think so, the power up from Pouf / Youpi is just too ridiculous.

That's when Netero and Zeno dove into Dragon Dive right? I fucking love that whole sequence. It might come off as hyperbole, but I really love the bulk of the Chimera Ant Arc. I defend that thing for a reason.
It's one of my favorites for a reason. Gon is fucking insane in this episode.This page has made me rewatch 116. Fucking hell, every shot is just perfect
Yep, the whole sequence is amazing. And of course that beastly flashblack.

As I said, I am gonna make a huge post about everything. Until then, I just reached another huge milestone, and now get all the rose imagery.
Edit: Oh shit, besides Mutated Ant Nazis we get an Anti Nuke Allegory as well? Togashi went full EVA, I was not expecting this as well, I am not prepared.

At some point within I think the next 6? episodes you'll be hit with a scene that rivals even peak Jojo weird.As I said, I am gonna make a huge post about everything. Until then, I just reached another huge milestone, and now get all the rose imagery.
Making me want to do a rewatch...or at least finish my current one. 131 fucking broke me.Yep, the whole sequence is amazing. And of course that beastly flashblack.
Yes. Weirder than Bayonetta Palm. I'm pretty sure everyone else knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Yeah that was pretty amazing.
The build up showing Netero's motivations, then giving us the beatdown of King with no damage done, and then that speech about evolution which showed how the Ants definitely could not be redeemed. So what happens? Netero shows the resolve humans truly have, and fucking nukes him to the high heavens, basically confirming that he knew this was his last battle, and wanted to have one last fight. It wasn't about the spectacle or the bravado, it was about the characters to the bloody, bitter end.

Sory for the double post, internet is bugging out!
The thing with that scene it wasn't exactly showing mankind to be the the paragon of light and morality. It was showing how evil mankind could truly be and that the ants are never going to hit that level. Mankind will do evil shit to survive.
How did I not see this thread earlier. HxH is the greatest Shonen I've ever had the pleasure to read/watch. My favorite arc was and always will be the Yorknew Arc, but Chimera Ants was definitely a close second.
Episode 116, as you guys are reminiscing here, is burned in my memory. The animation, the tension, and the voice acting (my god the voice acting) were all on point! Gon consumed by rage, and Killua consumed by heartbreak at the end...beautiful. No other Shonen had had that effect on me.

Yeah, that's what is so great. The ants can deal with just existing and putting humans in a special little box, but the humans? Because of how weak most of em are and how easy the strong can abuse the weak, humans have that special little place in hell because of how downright evil they can get.
Yep, when Netero says that "mankind potencial for evolution is limetless" that line was double meaning, in the japanese manga it's both "evolution" and "malice". That fits the humans and the bomb perfectly.

I had no idea you were into HxH. The fact the Killua's the one in the show except for Leorio with actual common sense is scary.
Gonna just straight up suggested to kill an innocent girl if things go south for Kite in the end. He should be the villain, not the Protag!
The opposite directions Gon and Killua go in for their overall arcs is wonderfully displayed. Killua finally got to point after many hardships and feeling worthless where he can actually interact and make friends without Gon's direct influence, it's a big turning point for him from someone who's been tortured since birth and has had nothing except killing. On the other hand Gon's been slowly turning to darkness which climaxed in this arc, the world is hitting him like a truck and when he can't get what he wants [having Pitou heal Kite, forget Komougi] he behaves like a child takes it out on his best friend - because at the end of the day he's still but a child. It's easy to forget, but it felt very real.
