This happened when Tsubone performed a request from Alluka then went into hiding, meaning Tsubone must be the person to fulfil 2 more requests before another wish could be granted. That's when Killua said "I can't make a wish, but I can still issue a command."Originally Posted by David75
I had no idea what that meant though. To me they're one and the same.

Let's forget jerking off.
Kind of a strange episode at this point, after the intensive previous one. Practically no Killua at all. The only really meaningful parts in my opinion were Ging revealing some hidden info (he really is a proper hunter, no surprises there) and how Gon has so many people who care, as was evident from all the hunters guarding his infirmary.
and from ALL hunters applauding leorio´s speech, which totally focused on gon. gon is like the most liked person within all hunters, it seems, lol.
anyway, the only interesting part imo was the shift towards leorio. that was nobody´s plan. dog girl wanted to win prior to the speech-session. pariston neither wants to win nor to lose. cow guy acts in favor of dog girl. and then out of nowhere everybody loves leorio ... and all the others are forced to change their plan on the fly.
im looking forward to the candidates´ debate next week. will pariton´s tricks work? leorio certainly is the weakest member in this debate. his focus on gon won´t work there. so its up to the other three to achieve something.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
So...if I understood Ging's insinuation correctly, he was saying that either Pariston was planning to, or that Cheadle SHOULD:
1. Hatch the 500 Chimera Ant hybrids who will have Nen.
2. Have them all take the Hunter exam which is apparently before the final vote. Which most would probably pass with Nen abilities.
3. Convince these 500 new Hunters to vote the way they want.
I have to say, I'm kinda psyched at the prospect that Leorio might actually win this.
I'm sure most of them were simply applauding Leorio's sentiment of doing everything you can to help save your friend. I can't imagine the vast majority of them have any idea who Gon even is.
They showed it again this episode. It was translated as "Heart is valuable."

They probably also want a strong leader -- i.e., someone with actually leadership potential. Mizai could qualify, but he doesn't want the job. Everybody was clearly impressed that Leorio promised to run the organization like he owns those bitches. The fact that Leorio even brought up Gon showed a lot of hunters that he has his own priorities.I'm sure most of them were simply applauding Leorio's sentiment of doing everything you can to help save your friend. I can't imagine the vast majority of them have any idea who Gon even is.
"After all, I am strangely colored."
I'm even more convinced that Killua intends to use Something to lift the curse off both Alluka and Gon. If he only wishes for Something to heal Gon, Something would fall asleep for a very long time to recover. I'm not sure if that applies to just Something or Alluka as well, but if the latter then I would hardly consider it "saving".

Watching this episode felt as if I missed something from the previous one. The change of story was so sudden I had to go back to re-watch the past votings.
I didnt understand what Ging was saying to Cheadle. Is Pariston waiting for the ant warriors to hatch and take them to someplace under his command? Is he trying to get/train an army of nen users? From what I understood his plan was to stretch the voting indefinitely so no new leadership/bureaucracy can discover/ruin his plans and have all the hunters "caught" in the voting. Not getting hundreds of new hunters for voting.
Gon, Killua and the rest of the flower-power gang will get into the voting in some sort of dramatic effect to break the tie in Leorios favor.
The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom
I understood that Pariston wanted the Ants to participate in the next Hunter Exam (soon) under the current rules, so he's locking out a change of ruling party since that could change it. Plus he's just having fun right now anyway.

Ep 145
You can get it through IRC, search at nibl.co.uk then connect to rizon and join #nibl room (for example)
You can get the torrent at www.shanaproject.com . The site is a little overloaded with what's happening to nyaa and HS, but the page will eventually load
Tokyotosho seems to lag in presenting the torrents, seems they also suffered from DoS but came back quicker than HS and nyaa.
Regarding the ep, well nothing much to be suprised about, even about the hidden rule. It's not because I didn't see that one, it was such a surprise.
Regarding the election, well I was not into that sub plot to begin with, so I do not really care.
Pariston can still lose if Gon shouts: Vote Leorio...
Or if there's a draw, If the rule states at least 50% and Leorio and Pariston get exactly the same number of votes, they both can take the position.
Somehow, I feel like Pariston was perfect in his Vice Chairman role, probably because we do not know what in his past made him to be despised so much by the oder Zodiacs.
So why not a shared Chairman position?

All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Is there some kind of link between Illumi and Alluka, or rather Something? The super nen surrounding the building was a mix of white and black nen (I don't think we have seen black nen too often, have we?), and Illumi was similarly surrounded by black, smoke like nen when he was observing the situation and desiring to make it his. Or was he simply impressed and greedy?
I find it a bit funny after all his adventures basically centered around finding his old man, instead of some hard to reach, far away place, Gon caught up with him at the bloody Hunters HQ because Ging was stuck there just like nearly every other pro hunter, and Gon was brought there as a patient, not particularly out of his own will.
Who knows what Pariston has in mind, but Leorio would have been a puppet leader if he had been elected. His interests lie elsewhere, mainly with his friends and his studies. So, I don't think he really should be a candidate in the elections in the first place. Pariston might make a better chairman anyway than any of the other top contenders nearing the end. They were all bureaucrats, sticklers to the rules, goody two shoes, and whatever. None of them probably understood the old chairman, save Pariston and Ging. Sure, there could be a good portion of hunters who wanted (maybe against their own better judgement) the Hunters to turn into something resembling a government organization or paramilitary, but generally speaking that's not what it was founded to be.
What hidden rule? Are you talking about an Alluka rule? If a new rule was revealed, I missed it somehow.
That's generally the case. Surrounding yourself with yes-men rarely ever leads to effective leadership. Having someone nearby who is always taking the opposite viewpoint gives you a better perspective on issues.
Assuming there even is some past event. His personality is such that anyone who spends more than 5 minutes with him finds him incredibly smarmy and manipulative.
I believe he just got excited and released his aura. I'm pretty sure it was similar to when Hisoka asked if he could kill Killua.
It IS pretty funny. I'm honestly expecting the next episode to start with Ging smashing his way out through the wall.
That won't happen because the rules actually state that the winner has to win by majority.
I'm not entirely sure how this is all going to work out for Alluka, because I was under the impression that healing puts them both to sleep (hence why she was sleeping). If Something simply disappears when it's asleep, that sleeping bit was pretty misleading since it wasn't night time or anything.

episode 146 is out
--------------------------
I have no idea what´s going on with Alluka anymore and how Killua hopes to save her, but ... omg, Nanika´s facial expression was so damn cute. I want a plushie version of her :>
Major lol @ all the hunters booing Ging for being a bad father. He SO deserved that lol. Felt so good.
With Gon having met him, I wonder where the story is even going now. Next episode will probably mark the last episode. Time to start reading the manga then, I guess. Really curious ... a shounen series without a clear goal? Unthinkable.
Edit:
Also, I like Pariston. He´s a genuine troll, a jokester to the max. He seems like a more self-controlled version of Hisoka to me. Genuinely sad about Netero´s death, too. I´d love to see him during an adventure journey, fighting enemies like the Chimera royals.

The whole Alluka/Nanika thing is very interesting. I never considered Alluka and Nanika to be friends inside the same body. How this will develop will be interesting to see, since basically Killua can command Nanika to defeat/remove any bad guy by command, since that doesn't seem to require payback other then praise.
The whole Pariston thing was unexpected, yet só Pariston. He didn't really win or lose, just like he wanted. He just had fun messing with people.
Meeting Ging seemed like the end point of the series, but know that it's happened is't like "oh, hey, talk to ya later." What motivation does Gon have at the moment to travel anywhere.. other than going to see Kurapica to check up on him. I guess we'll see next week.
If there is any overall bad guy in the series it has to be Illumi for Killua and Hisoka for Gon. Something like a goal to become better than them.
It sure is refreshing to see a shounen series this far in without a true final enemy to beat.
If the manga isn't much further away, I can see the series be picked up (or rebooted again) in like, 10 years, since the previous series finished 10 years ago with the greed island arc and took 10 years for 2 arcs.. that's depressing.
2 episodes left according to the schedule.
I'm guessing she's just going to be permanently hanging out with him and Gon now. And they just have to deal with Illumi being a constant looming antagonist.
Well that's just silly. Catching Ging was just a goal to show that he was a capable Hunter. Now that he's caught Ging(although I still think this is kinda cheating), he has to surpass him, with new goals and adventures of his own choosing. Because Gon is the main character, not Ging.
Is it?
It shouldn't need to be rebooted again.
Really the only reason they rebooted this time was to remake the series in HD, and to get rid of the filler.
This version is pretty definitive to this point in the series(except, again, for leaving out the early Kite stuff).
The surprising thing with Alluka, besides the fact that she communicates with Something, is that she is capable of more than just slow, 3-year-old speech. She actually articulate there.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
This was my favorite episode of the entire arc. Something's sudden development was very powerful. The art for her face and VA for the childish affirmative replies were excellent.
My rationality completely agreed with Killua's decision to seal Something, but at the same time I wanted to kick him in the jaw for making Something cry like that. The repeated "I love you" parts made me cry.
Peace.
On the subject of Pariston, it's just like Ging said, Pariston is like Ging and Netero. All he cares about is a worthy opponent. Having something to test himself against. It's just that Pariston likes to test himself mentally/politically.
Once he'd won the election, he didn't care about it anymore, because there was no one to oppose him, no challenge, so no reason to remain Chairman.
Interestingly, this makes Hisoka one of the characters that is most in-line with these character's motivations.
Yeah, all through this arc people were saying "he should just wish that she doesn't grant anymore wishes". It seemed like the obvious conclusion to come to...right up until they revealed that Something was a real person with feelings. Which immediately makes it a dick decision.
That logically would've been the best move: to wish that Something doesn't grant any more wishes, but still allow her to still exist and come out as an alter ego.
