    For all the build-up, Leol certainly died quickly. Which is disappointing, cause I thought he was cool.

    With all of these Ant allies they're making, it's too bad Colt isn't helping, as he's really the only well-defined character in the ants.

    I'm expecting Palm to be alive just because.. but she could well be dead. The preview didn't hint at anything, which was good. I hate her agnsty voice though. The arm guards don't help either.

    Well, she shouldn't be dead either way. Worst case scenario if she's caught, she should end up egged up in a tree.

    Hunter Exam. Gon is hunting Hisoka. Gon catches his badge with a one shot surprise attack.

    To say Gon is above a surprise attack misses the point of Gon. He does what it takes to win.

    I think it would be pretty ridiculous to call oneself a Hunter and deem surprise attacks undignified. Surprise attacks form half of hunting. Most predators try to surprise the target. People hunting animals as game as well. Often that surprise is all it takes.

    He was talking about Gon not one-shotting Hisoka or the Bomber with said sneak attack.

    That it so grossly outside of the realm of what is being discussed here it's ridiculous.

    He...one-shotted a badge? That's not even a thing.

    I just realized Kaito must have been a fucking beast for Pitou to acknowledge his strength.

    And how he did not piss his pants even when facing Neffy with just one arm, and had the calmness to tell the kids to get away. Maybe he even got a few good hits in before he died, which is light years away from glasses guy who did not even enter the ring, against the weaker (at least in En, which was the power he sensed) ant.

    Peace.

    Pitou looked damaged and if I recall correctly she admitted that Kaito was strong? He must really have been one of the top hunters.

    That doesn't actually mean anything. Kaito was one of the first not harvested for food humans Pitou ever saw. But even without having anything to use for comparison, he did gather Pitou's interest immediately.

    However, being one of the top hunters is a stretch. We have already seen some powerful people only go and get the membership for purely their own selfish reasons. This means the organization has no influence over them, after the selection process. Like Hisoka and Killua's brother (actually Killua's dad and grandpa might also be members as it would help them in their work). I'd like to think that aside from the chairman and very few others, the organization can't really send any strong people anywhere, only mediocre ones who either are interested in gaining an office in the organization or have no ambitions of their own. Others they would need to entice on voluntary basis or simply pay them heftily.

    No, Pitou went out there to test her strength. She later admitted that she thinks she is pretty strong after using Kaito as a benchmark.

    Yes, but she very clearly had battle damage on her. And considering the degree to which everyone absolutely shits themselves when anywhere near her, I'd say that is a hefty accomplishment.

    Who knows. We haven't actually seen Pitou fight against tough opponents. Gon was even willing to challenge Pitou and was only stopped by Killua, who was still under his brother's brain implant control. We know now Knov is a coward, so we are sorely lacking references.

    Besides the chairman himself, you mean?

    When did they fight..? Netero was too busy offing the small fries to ever challenge Pitou, if memory serves.

    He scouts out the original hideout and admits at that point in tie that Pitou is possibly stronger than him. After warming up a little, it sounds like he still doesn't cut it.

    The chairman said that he might lose to Neffy.

    The man had just sat too long behind a desk twiddling papers and lost his touch. It doesn't prove Pitou is strong, only that the chairman was rusty. He's now planning to attack the king himself and leave Pitou for others, so it hardly sounds like he considers Pitou unbeatable.

    Pretty much every real fight of a human vs ant has shown one thing more clear than anything else: Long experience matters just as much as awesome aura. Even brats like Gon and Killua are veritable battle scarred veterans compared to these ants who are all under a year old, I believe. Sometimes experience doesn't save the human, like it didn't Kaito, but then again, there're many factors affecting the outcome of a fight. I never considered Kaito so strong anyway, largely due to his stupid technique. On the other hand he was exceedingly ill prepared for the fight that was delivered to him suddenly. That was at least half of his own mistake, though. A mistake Palm is now repeating, probably.
