Honestly it would have been a pretty neat device if the pacing wasn't so horrible (i.e. the pacing they kept before the ant arc).

Had to look it up. It's from episode 93. Only thing i found on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSX2C6w8rH0 . Start watching around 1 min.
That scene suggests an aura capacity (power level) boost as opposed to power (ability) acquisition but either case is bad anyway if Netero loses.
Now hurry up and show me this fight.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
GIVE US DOUBLE EPISODE-FEATURES ALREADY!!!1

Quite a jolly episode, also indicated by the fact in restrospect I hardly remember any narration, which means action happened. I can't say I'd be overly interested in the Tako as such, but on the other hand he has something going for him in the sense he's not really a powerhouse and needs to use his wits to get around. Compared to the witless ones, Knuckle and Shoot, it's refreshing. Although Knuckle was acting so carelessly that at one point I began to think he must have inhaled some butterfly scales or something.
Killua's demeanor is what really made this episode, though. Seeing Youpi so taken aback by Killua's relaxed approach was very nice.
Agreed 100%. Really anytime Killua flips the "badass assassin" switch it's the highlight of any episode though. "Sorry, what happens next is just me blowing off steam." Only he could walk up to one of those monsters like killing it was no big deal. Really looking forward to watching this fight, or really at this point any fight.
I don't think i'd call Knuckle totally witless or careless. The guy actually had a pretty decent plan, given the situation. It's just that, unfortunately for him, Youpi turned out to be a bit more cunning than he'd appeared to be.
It sucks that Pouf got out of the smokey jail. I hope he doesn't fuck up Gon's fight with Pitou or the King's fight with Netero.
Youpi isn't nearly as stupid as his original impressions would have lead us to believe.
So...if I understand Knuckles power, all those hits should have added more interest right? But when Knuckle hits someone with APR on it, it actually GIVES them Knuckle's aura. So he's actually made Youpi stronger until he goes bankrupt.
Which means unless Killua has unreasonably powered up, we're back to trying to to wait out APR.
I didn't remember that detail for APR. But I think I remember that each time Knucle lands a hit, APR doubles.
Since it was almost at 7k before the first hit, we're takling 1792k...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
APR doesn't double, the aura just adds up. Too bad it didn't look like Knuckle had a powerful attack to give extra aura with. Giving Youpi aura does make him stronger but only in the sense of energy reserve. It's not as if his power necessarily increases because they also have a maximum output rate.
Knuckle deserved to die for being stupid. The plan was okay but you could tell he wasn't thinking right when he got greedy about how many punches he could land. The fact he even went back proves his stupidity.
Anyway, can't wait to see Killua tear it up. His steps were actually giving off steam literally (or burning the ground). Either lightning was just that hot, or he became the lightning itself. I don't care either way, just go all Raikage on him.
@Kraco: you hardly remembered any narration because the dude's narration hardly happened. This episode the characters actually thought out loud for the most part.

Okay, Killua is pure hotness (in a platonic way). BUT please do not ridicule the royal guard by using Youpi to show off Killuaīs awesomeness. Iīd be seriously annoyed if Killua had no trouble whatsoeveratall against this monster. Assuming heīs going to win, I want it to be a super close, super hard fight and I want it to be made possible only thanks to what Knuckle did to Youpi with his interest-ability.
On the topic of Knuckle, just how stupid was he? Iīm not even talking about falling for Youpiīs fake rage. So letīs say he gets in close enough for the hit, then does so. Whatīs next? OH RIGHT, A SMALL NUKE GOING OFF IN YOUR DIRECT VICINITY! Wtf, dude?!
Ikalgo is nice, but his general weakness makes him boring to watch, since heīs made the impression of "once detected => insta-death". What I wonder, how much time has passed since Bizeff got all those girls? Did he get lucky or did the attack start before he could get rid of his pants? :P

Knuckle believed that he had enough time to hit once or twice AND run away outside the scope of the explosion after.
Killua isn't going to own Youpi. If you watched the preview, Killua is likely going to do hit and run tactics using the invi dude.
Peace.

You're welcome. I'm always glad to help.
Peace.
I keep trying to figure out how that TINY little spot that Shoot used his power on is going to come into play somehow.
Because if it doesn't, all the fighting to stay conscious that Shoot is doing is just pointless.
Dick move.
Electricity seemed to work splendidly against Youpi, and Killua has plenty more to share. If Youpi gets shocked for half a second, it's already enough for somebody with the Zoldyck speed. Killua could attack with impunity as long as he sets the pace of the fight.
The annoying thing about these ants is their durability. Even if you can trump them in every other aspect, if you can't hurt them, it is pretty pointless.
Peace.
In that respect Killua is lucky: His hits look more like cutting than punches. Unlike the chitinous ants, Youpi is soft, which is naturally a requirement for his intensive morphing ability, including tentacles and whatnot. He seems to suffer less from blunt force trauma, not shattering like a hard exoskeleton would, but against slicing, penetrating attacks it's a weakness. Killua can dice him up.
He blows himself up yet is perfectly fine after.
I would not be surprised if he can regenerate cuts or reattach lost limbs. You know, like the Youmapi that he is.
Peace.
I actually hope that Shoot's efforts are pointless. It's more realistic that way. Just because you tried doesn't mean things will work out.
I thought that most watchers actually watched the previews. Complaining because you didn't watch it and got "spoiled" in a forum that allows discussion about it makes no sense. It's like not watching the latest episode, coming in here, and saying, "you jerks, why are you discussing something that I have chosen not to watch (yet)."
The previews are part of the released episodes.
Peace.
It made more sense when Youpi was covered in eyeballs. It hinted that maybe Shoot had created a single tiny blind spot that could be exploited.
Now that Youpi isn't even bothering with that anymore, it seems pointless.
One could make the same argument about coming to a forum that allows discussion that's full of people that have already read the manga.
You know, if one were a complete ass.
I also don't watch the previous most of the time because, you know, avoiding spoilers is avoiding spoilers. If I don't read the manga because I don't want to know what happens before I see it in it's full animated context, why the hell would I watch the episode previews?
I get pissed off enough when the openings or episode titles have spoilers in them.
