Maybe it's something more valuable than money. Like the ressurrection of a lost loved one. Or a really sweet hat.
So, am I mistaken, or did Ikalgo crawl inside his old squad leader's body?
I bet the pregnant chick is going to end up being his opponent. Since they don't want an ant running around undoing their nen abilities.
That's precisely what happened. Ikalgo is controlling him.Originally Posted by DE

Were you thinking the Hunters corrupt number 2 man might have hired the Zoldyck family to take out the chairman now of all times? That would certainly be deliciously vile. However, the preview didn't even give me an impression they were fighting against each other, more like they were together attacking somebody else. It would be quite early for them to face the King, so maybe they were training or the plans changed.
I don't think the Zoldycks would so easily reject jobs, though, if the pay is appropriate. They have the reputation of the most infamous assassin family to uphold, plus they would have never got so powerful in the first place if they kept avoiding tough commissions.
no episode this week. already the worst year ever.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
wow, this is so intense. I´m almost at the point where it feels exhausting to keep watching, due to all the anticipation. Wow.
How to start this, hm. Do we know something absolute about Netero´s "power level"-rank in the world? When he was facing Pitou and starting to grin, "bad move", I was thinking that they have to be careful not present the royal guard as too weak now all of sudden. So, I´ll assume that Netero truly is the strongest character in the world of HXH, or at least very close to that. Otherwise it´d ruin the so-far built up menace that the ants had been posing towards mankind.
And I love it. Obviously, Netero is more capable than the royal guard members. But we know that king also is on a whole different level.
And what an opening. Guess I didnt pay enough attention to the preview last episode, since I expected Killua´s grandpa and father to arrive. Seeing the grandfather and Netero together gave me the chills. So freakin awesome. Arriving on a mystical giant dragon bird, jumping down from kilometers above ground, flying downwards, and finally releasing a rain of energy attacks. Omg.
It was fantastic when Pitou realized that her usual superiority wasn´t a given in this confrontation.
Also, it felt kinda arousing and hot, when she was pulling on her own tail :> I definitely need a new signature with an even more attractive picture of her lol.
And, of course, as always a perfect transition into the ending theme: Everyone appearing in front of Youpi. Did I get this right that Knuckle and Meleon were invisible to him? So the rest of ´em acted as a diversion? Man, that felt like watching Shingeki no Kyojin when Knuckle´s colleague was running aside the stairs and spottet the profile of Youpi´s head ... and then him slowly turning his head, spotting the intruders. OMG.
And ... I have no idea what follows.
So Knuckle and Meleon will search the king. Netero will also search the king and probably encounter Pouf on his way. Although I believe Pouf will be tackled by Killua´s grandpa. I thought that Gon and Killua were running away sideways from Youpi, and that would fit, since I expect them to fight Pitou. So Knuckle and Co. will fight Youpi, with a draw of luck, since Pouf is occupied by the surprise guests.
Or wait ... are we to assume that Netero´s appearance was part of the plan? Forgot if they knew about that.
argh, dammit. The wait. THE WAIT. >_<

111:
Netero is quite a monster himself... and an ancient monster to boot! Even so I found it a little interesting Pitou seemed to suffer no damage whatsoever, even if Netero himself wasn't expecting any, merely hoping for Pitou to stay away for a while as a result of the hit. Pitou's tail is also funnily resilitient, not snapping after such a stunt. Gon and Killua really have their work cut out for them if they intend to stop that unstoppable abomination.
I really liked the Zoldyck elder questions and answers session scene. It didn't do anything to explain directly why or how the Zoldycks were drawn in, but instead it revealed a rich history between the darkness of the assassins family and the light of the Hunters figurehead. And that's all that's needed, in the end. I really like how we have two geezers in this battle, with their decades (or a century) of experience to counter the ants' stupendous, surreal inborn strength.
I got the impression that Netero felt that Pitou's decision to meet him in the air meant that he could remove her from the situation entirely, and he didn't think she'd be able to stop herself from Team Rocketing over the horizon.
I was half expecting him to punch a hole through her and she'd have had to heal herself before going on to face Gon.
Damn, Netero is a huge bad ass. I've read the manga, but I forgot the story of the 10,000 punches. It was all around impressive. His reaction to reaching his limit was gratitude. And then he becomes a Buddha-like figure. "Feed me, and I'll help you reach your limit." It's really no wonder he became chairman of the Hunter Association. He probably could have done it if his "base" power was weaker, but still had the gratitude and subsequent enlightenment.
Yeah, Netero must be in the top 5 in terms of sheer power, and definitely the top for battle experience.
And yes, the team on the ground knew that Netero was coming. That's why they timed the plan down to the second. So that the Royal Guard would end up having to engage the ground team while Netero (and I guess Zeno) fight the king.

"After all, I am strangely colored."
I thought it was kinda funny how gratitude and enlightenment still resulted in Netero developing/keeping his cheeky humour. You'd think that he'd be some calm, mature guy who's seen everything and thus is never truly swayed be emotions.. such as the desire to throw pride-hurting jokes at people. For me, his final personality doesn't seem to match all the gratitude and Bodhisattva nature he's supposed to have.
Confused Pitou sure was sexy, as was her actually trying and struggling.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Neferpitou is too hot.
I don't even care if she has a dick under those shorts anymore. I'd still do her.
Sensing an attack from 2 masters miles away in the sky just from instinct? That cat like aggressive pose? Her cute helpless face as she falls without any way to return before hitting the ground? Pure win.
Peace.
You guys are easily aroused...
I cannot deny that but Nef is a different case.
Peace.
oh fuck me!
the first five minutes, i was in a state of perma-near-crying, not because of something happening, but because of me being scared of something happening. Ugh >_<
But I have to make two complaints: What was it with Knuckle´s pussy punch?! Sure, he used his special technique, but couldnt have have tried to actually hurt his opponent, too? Now, if that was supposed to be a fatal punch, he´s out of the game.
Secondly, I dont like Youpi´s new head. While he´s still scary thanks to all the build-up, the new head makes him look more generic.
Fuck, I really fear for Knuckle and Shoot. I´ve been saying all along that they´re too weak for the royal guard. Can´t see them survive it
And then those last ten or so minutes. Fuck. Pure excitement. Made me feel physically exhausted AGAIN. I cannot take that >_<
Best fanservice moment: (kind of) nude Pitou :>
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Youpi called himself a shield, so logic dictates he's tougher than Pitou. Netero's super punch did absolutely no damage to Pitou despite making her fly a kilometer, so why would Youpi give a shit about Knuckle's feather punch, aside from the annoying fact he has no idea how it was delivered? So, yeah Knuckle should review his opitions, especially since his special technique will counting forever.
Where did her boobs disappear..? She did have those, back in the episode where I admitted Pitou must be female. Now they were all but gone. Did she transfer matter from boobs to legs to make them grow so thick?
That was pretty good. I liked how there was a narrator.
"After all, I am strangely colored."
Man, this makes me wish all shonen series where people move superfast was in a constant state of slow motion like this.
So fucking tense!
Komugi looks way less gross when her hair's not stupid and she's not dripping snot.
Now if she could just get rid of those eyebrows.
Problem I have with this episode. Killua recognized his grandfather's Nen ability. Even though the last time Killua had been home, he didn't even know wtf Nen was yet.
Yeah, even if he was to go hide behind the stairs or something, Youpi will have long since killed everyone before he goes Bankrupt.
The idea was to have Youpi not to take any damage, so that he'll brush off that 'attack' as inconsequential and not try to find the source. It screwed them over here because they didn't know he was going to be a tank.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Pitou will likely have just as huge nen reserves, meaning she will be no worse for wear despite having acted as a radar station continuously and controlled the puppets. These guys are superior to humans in most ways. I'd expect their life span to be significantly short, though. They matured very fast and have highly damage resilient bodies, which would suggest they will crumble on their own soon enough or cancer will kill them. Maybe 10 years max. No wonder the king took over a country and set his plans in motion so promptly.
Good, you'll be getting a lot more of that
There's been a narrator for, like, the whole series. Not sure why he's just being mentioned now.
I mean, he's the one that told Netero's backstory last week.
