They certainly use Zushi to the max to show what kind of monsters Gon and Killua are compared to normal mortals. It was good to see Killua show a killer's face again, in any case.

I was hoping Killua would just kill him during their match.
But the villain pussed out instead.
He never felt him coming and all of a sudden his hallucinating his own gory death, then Kilua lets him out in a very unconfortable position where he can be killed any second just like he just hallucinated.
I guess the guy knows he doesn't stand a chance against Kill.
It also shows how much of a monster Killua will become if only basic training in Nen/ten/ren and the likes makes him that strong, that quick.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I'd watch this for the Hunterpedia alone. That shit's kawaii...
This is how the new season can shine, the atmosphere is obviously inferior to the original anime because this is being marketed to kids but with Madhouse in charge every fighting scene has the potential to be fucking glorious.
Just so I have an idea; how far, exactly, did the old series go in broadcast?
Google is your best friend:

SCHWING!
God DAMN it that was great!
I didn't think they'd actually start the battle this episode, but fuck it they did!
Awesome Nen explanations and sweet fighting in the same episode. Can't ask for more than that.
That weird tone they used once the fight started made it seem really ominous and tense.
That opening fight sequence between Hisoka and Gon was fucking awesome.
That was the best battle animation I´ve ever seen in a shounen-anime. Wow. Such a long, detail-rich fighting scene, without any interruptions, without any filler-animations. I´d say the one shounen-fight that is equally that great was Rock Lee vs Kimimaro.
The Specialist made the Nen explanations fall somewhat flat, though. If the Specialist is "something" not belonging to the other major categories, how can you say it's the farthest away from the Enhancer? Either it should be something more defined, not just a random junk pile for every weirder than usual power needed by the plot or it should be an unknown category and the whole diagram shouldn't be presented in such a solid form, because it's clearly not.
Anyway, Gon vs Hisoka was great, and I was also positively surprised it already started in this episode. Gon managing to land the hit also didn't seem unrealistic - due to Hisoka assuming such a handicap of not moving an inch - which is a very important detail.
Like Killua said, Hisoka still doesn't take Gon seriously.
He likes that Gon progresses well and fast, so he'll probably just beat him right and wait for a better match much later when Gon matures and his ripe to his tastes.
Also, beetween the two, there's no hatred, just pure will to have a good fight. I wonder if the story involves such things later, to spice up the fights.
