today is the worst :/
I don't know if this has been posted yet or not but there's a Hunter x Hunter movie released.
[S-A] Hunter x Hunter - Phantom Rouge 1080p / 720pKurapika became a Hunter to take vengeance on the Class-A crime group Phantom Troupe who massacred his clan for their unique eyes (which are one of the 7 treasures of the world). The eyes of the Kurta clan turn scarlet in times of anger or emotional agitation and are considered the most beautiful treasures in the world. Kurapika continues to pursue the Phantom Troupe but an unknown party has stolen his "scarlet eyes". With the help of Gon, Killua and Leorio, Kurapika's life was saved. However, the Phantom Troupe shows up before them and blocks their way. The true identity of the one with the No.4 spider tattoo is about to be unveiled.
Episode 94 is out!

Was it explained better in the manga why Killua knew there was a needle in his brain? That came out of nowhere.
Man, Gon is such a smooth mother fucker.
I don't think it really needs to be explained.Originally Posted by miyama_ryu
Obviously, it was meant to control his behavior.
If only all existential crisis could be solved as easily as finding out you're being controlled by a pin in the brain and removing it!
It's good having cool, overly badass Killua back. Fuck you Rammot!
I'm reasoning that Killua really wanted to stay, but the needle was telling him to run, and the clash gave him a headache right at that spot (he showed signs of that a few times this episode), so he jammed his finger in due to annoyance and instinct. Right after that, control was suddenly relinquished and his body responded as Killua himself wanted. The needle came afterwards. It's not "well explained" by any means, but I can live with that.
The the fight overall that let me down a bit. Rammot was way too easy (but thanks for giving Killua the time he needed to wake himself up). Gon's punch didn't kill Rammot before he got nen, but Killua's "face palm" technique worked out better? That seems to be a double-take on their resilience.
Things look hopeful for the humans. It seems that aside from the royal guards, the other ants know jack shit about Nen. I can't hypothesise just yet that they can only use it to boost their physical abilities though, because that's just Rammot and he's an enhancer by default. Cheetah seems pretty confused about the whole thing. At least that fight looks promisingly entertaining.

Because when Killua actually acts like an assassin, he's much deadlier than Gon. Always has been.
I just assumed his super speed WAS his special ability.
I thought that was his physical ability (due to his Cheetah genes) and wasn't Nen related, much like Killua's speed is due to his training rather than his Nen.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Could totally be that I guess.
I guess I didn't notice or considered the possibility that Killua had a headache, because Killua never had that before. I think its a little sudden to suddenly introduce this symtom against Rammot. At least have it happen in his fight against Shoot so that there is time for this concept to sink in. All I remember in that fight was Killua getting shaky legs and hands, nothing to indicate he felt any pain in this head.
In the end though, Im glad Killua is his cool self again.
I think it likely didn't pain him before because in the past, whenever the thing told him to run, he just did it.
This is the first time he REALLY tried to fight it. So when it tried to make him run, and he didn't, it started to cause him pain.
And it acted as a safety pin.
Killua not strong enough->escape
Killua strong enough to get rid of the pin->should be strong enough
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
It has to do with strength instead of willpower though. The headache came about becase Killua refused to run. If we're talking about strength, he already had the body-piercing ability back in the Hunter Exam.
Given that the pin was put in place to preserve Killua's life (and to win via relative strength), I'd say that it was never intended to be removed.

That was fucking terrible
always thought that speed >>>>>> power. itīs as old as dragonball lol. boosting up your power into becoming an ultimate saiyajin didnt work so well against Cell. Thatīs why Goku trained himself until he reached super sayajin level 2, less power than at the ultimate level, but much more speed and agility. :>
Itīs still surprising that even Knuckleīs boss seems to have problems against Cheeta. I guess mankind is really fucked. At best, Netero might be able to defeat one of the royal guard. The king? lol, no chance.
Regarding Killua, im not sure. Right now he seems too strong. Once he overcame his brotherīs bs, he finished off Ramott like it was nothing. And the next power level are the royal guard members, right? Weird.
One thing I re-learned from this episode: Never let a girlīs make-up fool you.
After seeing that needle, I really think Killua should kick his older brother's ass whenever he goes back home. That douche really deserves a lesson he wouldn't soon forget.
But yeah, Rammot getting defeated so easily after Killua got rid of the artificial restriction was natural. Rammot has probably zilch proper nen training and very little any training at all. He has spent his time killing ordinary civilians and horses. The first time he fought against someone worth anything he got defeated very quickly. It's not like awakening nen would be any huge power boost if you haven't got a clue what to do with it.
Colt and the cheetha would be the step up. Rammot was an underling to Colt after all. So Killua is not Royal Guard material just yet.
The assumption is that one is fast, but has enough residual power to do enough damage. If you go back to the episode where Killua fought the tough-skinned Rhino, he had to fall back on using electricity to deal enough damage. Speed alone wouldn't have been enough.
I suppose in real-world scenarios, speed generally requires space to move to.. so if you lose that advantage you're screwed. In the anime-world, you run into the problem where you mind can't keep up with your speed. While fast, your movement becomes predictable. The opponent then just has to get the timing right.
I think this scene either depicted Rammot as being too vulnerable, or Killua as having too much destructive ability. Otherwise though, Killua is still more or less unchanged. He was severely handicapped since he was consciously aware of his struggling self, but he fought the bee/stinger-ant without a problem. All it means now is that he'll actually try fighting a strong ant instead of running away. He's still the same guy strength-wise.Regarding Killua, im not sure. Right now he seems too strong. Once he overcame his brotherīs bs, he finished off Ramott like it was nothing. And the next power level are the royal guard members, right? Weird.
.I don't feel the same way. That guy saved both Gon and Killua against Pitou. I'm sure it also saved Killua in the past as well. It doesn't make Killua a fighter (which is what he wants to be now), but it made him a survivor. I wouldn't say it's something that deserves a punch to the face.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
That it saved him/them in the past is nothing but speculation. It's equally possible that very same needle would have resulted in Killua's death during this battle if he hadn't removed it. In fact the only reason it didn't already get Killua killed is Rammot being such a miserable sadist and not a real fighter.
But even forgetting that, I think getting a punch to the face is still quite soft compared to implanting a foreign, personality changing object inside someone's skull. Besides, I'm sure Illumi would be perfectly ready for that the moment Killua finds out.
