Yeah, I'm guessing either he wasn't fully charged to begin with, or the giant lightning bolt he used at the start to attack Youpi drained a ton of energy. Which would make sense, given that more range with an electrical arc means more...amps? Or volts? One of those two.Quote:

Whether or not he can gain significant usage time depends on whether Killua's got good endurance to begin with. If he didn't, then it could be worked on. If he's already above average in that regard, then I don't think it would help terribly much since that means the electrical inefficiency is the dominant factor.
It's whichever one makes a tesla coil shoot really far without actually being harmful. I don't remember which it is.Quote:

He might have in the past tried how long he could maintain a simple arc, but that's vastly different from what he's doing now. He's not a super uber hyper ant who is born with all the abilities at 100%, so he needs to train for years, just like Netero demonstrated. Nor would his kid's body have as much basic endurance as an adult body (just look at what sort of a hulk his dad is).Quote:

You realize though that bomb guy doesn't have to, like, eat a bunch of bombs after he uses his power, and why that's a huge benefit right?Quote:

Where on Earth was it said Killua can't recharge like a normal person, that is, by resting? I interpreted this merely as an extra option: Instead of sleeping like a normal person for 5 hours, he can stick his fingers into a power socket for 5 minutes.Quote:

Fair enough, but, again, bomb guy's power doesn't run out after a couple minutes requiring the need to recharge.Quote:

All of these ants are more or less haxors, so I'm going to discount them. Aside from occasional stupidity they have no weaknesses whatsoever. Though we don't know if they actually might have a single one: The lifespan of an ant.
Did anything else happen with that other "mini-human-baby" that was born together with Meruem? Have they even mentioned that since then or did i dream that shit up lol
Colt went off to raise the baby himself.Quote:

It looks like Gon will turn into Gollum, with two personalities arguing with each other inside his head, sometimes one having control of the body, sometimes the other. And one of them is murderous.
This wasn't a very good episode, but I guess every series is fated to have such every now and then.
It was a little slow, yeah. But I find it interesting that they're playing chess (or gungi) over Komugi now.
Aww shit yeah! No peaceful resolution on Gon's end at least! Finally! We're gonna have a real fight!
That is a wild fucking conclusion to jump to.Quote:

Gon is absurdly naive, thinking he could actually save Kite. I gave him way too much credit. He really is what he is, a 10 year old kid.
I at least like the fact that Nef is being honorable about this. She could have just killed Gon while he is in his weeping mode, but is actually waiting for him to resolve himself to kill her because he listened to her plea about Komugi.
Looks like Gon is going to sacrifice his life to gain super saiyan mode for this fight. It's too bad Nef is likely going to die from this. She is probably my favorite character in the show so far.
I dunno why. He neither knows the limits of Pitou's powers, nor the extent of Kite's condition. It's not like he saw Kite with his head cut off.Quote:

Everyone else thought that Kite was a lost cause. The only reason they kept him intact was to show Gon. It might be possible to bring him back, but only a naive idiot would not consider the worst case scenario and mentally prepare for it, especially if you are diving into enemy territory.
Is Gon fine with Killua or Knuckle dying? Because his current state could directly lead to that. Killua is going to try and rescue him after seeing him bawl after all.
EDIT: The latter part of this arc is pretty horrible. It all started with the nuke revelation. I wish they just planted around 10 nukes in the predetermined abandoned underground cavern where Netero took the King and detonated it once Netero lost. Then Nef would have attacked Gon immediately after learning the King is dead, and we would not have this crybaby fest.
He's Gon. He's not the thinker type. I doubt he has ever planned his life two moves ahead, let alone something like a Plan B, or what to do about unfortunate coincidences or consequences. Most of the time he probably hasn't planned even a single move but is just pushing forward in the happy-go-lucky manner.Quote:

Really slow episode. I had hoped they´d at least end it with Gon´s rage.
Nobody knew Pitou´s full powers, and nobody knew about Kaitou´s condition as DarthEnder mentioned. Me personally, I always thought Kaitou was dead for good, but that´s only because I was convinced that this anime wouldn´t play any bullshit cards where a guy who had his head severed could still be living.Quote:
