KT is a good thing . Kt is a good thing . Kt is a good thing . Kf , kf .
Well , ladies and gentlemen , it is time for another Extreme Review and this time we decided to tackle Hunter Hunter and , without further ado , let's go ahead and zone out on this Now .
First of all , I was thinking yesterday , yesterday at the time of recording , it was St Patrick's Day , and I was thinking , you know what , let me get a green guy to talk about on the podcast . And I would have said like Deku and good story , and start with my hero , academia Extreme Review .
But then again , I can't wait until Academy Zone back in , like August . But I was like , okay , we did you , you hop a show , we , I can find shit . Let me see who can we do ? Oh , shit , go on , yeah , yeah , yeah , what's going on ? And let me just say it's worth the watch , it's very good . And we're going to start with the Hunter exam art .
And I will have to say that it's a . It was kind of slow when we at first , the first time around , I was thinking , yeah , it's going to be kind of slow to get past . You know , later on , like it doesn't . It's not that slow as I'm trying to make it sound , but it's like maybe a few episodes in it's like , okay , push past this .
And as soon as they started mentioning then and how it works , okay , I'm in . I like where this is going . So , starting with Kofi Gassu , how are you feeling about Hunter Hunter ?
So understand the fact that it's made by the same person . Maybe you . How to show the question is my all time favorite anime , just straight up . I definitely was excited to give it a try . So first off , I want to mention this aspect here for some people who are definitely listening to this podcast . Thank you all so much for your love and support .
So there's two different Hunter Hunter animators that you all need to know about support . The most common one is 2012 remaster remake . The color scheme is completely different and it's a little bit more serious tone per se .
So while you were talking about , Jeff Black , how it seemed like you know a little slower stuff like that the actual original 1992 version of it was actually more comedic . They added more . It was like a lot more comedy , a lot more jokes . That was into it and it was supposed to be a little bit funnier .
So , 2012 , when they redid it , of course , you know , when they remastered it , they wound up remastering it , of course , to have much better graphics , which is most common with everyone knows nowadays but it was more of a serious tone . So there's a lot less jokes . So that might be what part of like why it felt slow .
Plus , also , we're doing a review on specifically the anime , not the manga , because the reason I say this is because the most common thing that every Hunter Hunter fan or anyone who's ever watched like , read the manga , the manga is really novel , Whereas Hunter Hunter is the opposite of Bleach , where Bleach , like what Ty Kubo does , like so many panels where
there's no talking , no speaking , it's just picture imagery to tell the story . That is not the case for Hunter Hunter . Hunter Hunter is well known for having all black panels with nothing but just worded descriptions all throughout explaining what is going on . It was literally graphic novel , more novel than graphic realistic . So we're just tackling on the anime .
So that way , we kind of just we do talk about that and primarily we're going to focus in on 2012 , 2012 , anime . But other than that , I mean I enjoyed the Hunter exam , to be honest with you .
I enjoyed it as a great introduction to different characters , even a bunch of them being one shot off characters , and then some of them that we're going to grow to love later on .
Obviously , my boy Hisoka like I can't fully call him my boy because I don't know that dude still be borderline pedophilia type shit , but it's kind of like , it's like borderline , but the thing about it is that it's one of those ones he's like he nurtured , like he's like seeing potential . But then you know that's not his only game that he's going for .
He does go for like a bunch of other people who are like , obviously older , around his age . So with that I'm like okay , I'm okay , I can be somewhat okay with it .
It's still kind of weird , but it's mostly obviously because you know there has to be somebody that goes against our protagonist , there has to be some type of like antagonist that's really out there . So it's like , okay , I halfway with it , I'm halfway with it . So , and of course we got an introduction to , to , of course , the all time famous .
You know , I really like his name to kill you all , kill you , that's legit His name . If you didn't know , there's actually the reason he was named that his name is literally killing wall . So it's like it's pretty funny we think about it in that aspect .
Yeah , I did not know some of that shit Like with kill was named , and also I did not know that this was made by the same guy who did you have a show . But then again I'm not even surprised because you know , both his main characters are green boys . So I can kind of I can immediately see the correlation between the two , so I kind of get it .
I get it and playboy why we're at it . How's you feeling about until after ?
overall Well kind of like you said , when I was first getting to it , the hunter exams did kind of take a minute , like to like get into the climb when they started running , when gone and killed when first met , you feel me like I kind of understand what Coco got to meant .
It will understood what he could mean as far as the manga being nothing but dialogue , because the narrative does a lot of talking , the characters do a lot of talking , and up until you actually get to like maybe he's so cut or some villains , there's really no type of action going on .
I guess that's why it is , for my friends , like a lot of my , like a lot of my peers told me the best arc is the Chimera and art , and that's what I guess , one of the most popular arcs of it .
So you know , when it comes to the hunter exam , when I was watching it , I was , I was I'm not going to say it bored me , but like it introduced all the characters . So I guess that was that was like the anticipation of the weight , like okay , I want to see who's all going to be the main characters and what they could possibly do .
One thing I did kind of like , though , was I can't remember his name , but he failed the hunter exam all the time and his whole . His sole purpose was just to make other people failed . All the new comments for that .
Yeah , that they do .
Yeah , I just wanted to get dealt with , so I was like , okay , oh , yeah , I'm gonna stick with this . I want to see what happened here , true .
This reminds me with a new dude and one punch man . I was like classy and he was basically trying to gatekeep people from making do like class B and whatnot . Like that he wasn't classy but he was class B .
He was like . He was like one of the lawyers ranking class B and he will always like gatekeep because he didn't want any class C heroes to be promoted up to class B , because he like having people under him . I know he was talking about because it was right . After , say , time , I wound up finishing the exam and got marked as a classy hero .
But I don't know , that's some weird shit . But then again I guess you need somebody that you just can't stand . You , I just put that place is all true Somewhere . Okay , love we're just talking about the characters work , with me Starting with going our main boy .
I mean obviously you know he had that main character , energy , and the main thing is not only does he want to be a hunter and travel the world and whatnot , but the main thing was he's in the search to find his father . And can I just say Jean Crease is our . How do you pronounce their last name ? Can I just say father of the year ?
And I do mean that sort of cast .
You mean that ? Mean that you shared a while back with us , like your name is going to be gone because I'm going to be gone , like really .
Oh , you don't remember that one . That was fucking funny .
Yeah , I mean I'm not trying to project too far into the show , but when you finally do get to see Jean and I was like bro I mean on one hand I kind of get what you were trying to do , but I just don't like your attitude about it .
¶ Character Comparison's Impact on Commitment and Morality
Honestly , his attitude was very simple in the aspect Look , we just talked about this . Actually , on the previous podcast , jet Black was like this is dude , that was going around getting girls pregnant and then was constantly like getting them plenty of bees and stuff and it was like he paid for the abortion and stuff like that .
It was just not an option for going for like , for like his dad for Jean . It was literally just the aspect . He's like oh dang , I got you pregnant . See , I got other stuff I got to do , so being a dad is actually not on my list . Yeah , I'm gonna have to bounce and then just do just like . Bro , what did you mean ?
I don't see that she dies , goes , mom dies , so he's like I'm gonna drop you off at your auntie's house and then deuces and then like strip life for real .
He left him a playground .
Oh , don't , because that just made me think of Rick from Rick and Morty's , where essentially he was balancing around trying to figure out who killed his best and wife I don't even know if Diane's real name or real name , but you know his wife and his daughter , beth , from his universe and essentially Beth was left behind with a proofy land and I was like well ,
I gave you proof , you , and it's okay .
Yeah , I see the connection . I didn't know that .
Yeah , but .
I mean , what can I say ? Like , it's just a really bad trope , where it seems like to do always bounces out . But then again I've been watching some YouTube videos and I'm hearing some shit about some dude saying like oh well , you know , the father is not exactly obligated to stick around .
It's more like one of those animalistic things to where you just spread it and . I'm like no , no , no , listen , that's just the thing I call bullshit on that . And it's the main thing is like a lot of people is just operating on animal instinct , like they like to compare human beings to the rest of the animal kingdom .
But we have more complexity than that . So all I'm saying is it's almost like so basically , y'all are following like herd mentality when it comes to these animalistic instincts , to where it's like okay , let me just go around and sleep with a whole bunch of women or whatever , because that's just what men do the fuck , the fuck , the fuck .
Okay , that's just going to show that you just have no sense of commitment because you're thinking that , oh well , if everybody else is doing it , I think it's cool for me to do it . That's like saying like , oh well , if everybody's hitting that , what's wrong with me cheating ?
I was like so , if everybody wants to jump off a cliff , you want to do that too .
If that sort of mentality that pisses me off , because , like you're just only doing this because you're thinking , well , everybody's going to do it , I'm like at least some of us have enough consciousness to say like okay , yeah , it's kind of like that out in the world , but I want to be a better example of that . I want to actually be a boss .
I actually want to be a committed husband , boyfriend , whatever the case may be . But some folks , it's like they just look at the world and it's like , oh well , we'll send . Everybody else is doing it , and I was like that's , that's , I can't respect that , I can't . I'm sorry . Hey , you're not my problem , so you do you .
True , that's real .
I know kind of tangy , but then again , that's just how I do it . Yes , so they're going to take this test with going to become a hunter and all that , and he meets three people here , the three main boys that we want to be all balling around . He was like what do you guys have said ? We're a Pika and Liorio . And here's the thing With Keelela .
Oh , Keelela , Now that's my boy right there . See , Keelela , he got that dog in because the way he be ripping people's heart , so it's like it's like you're thinking like , okay , he's not so bad . It's like seems like a cool kid , like especially the skateboard . No , that's it , he seems fine . But then you got that look in his eye .
I was like shit , he's definitely a Zoldik . He's definitely a Zoldik .
I want to understand . I knew Keelela was going to be bad when they started off . The exam was like you got to do this long mile run . All the way to the entrance to the next part of the exam , keelela was sitting here with a skateboard . Riding the skateboard , he was like hmm , this ain't no fun , I'm a run with y'all .
Ditches the skateboard and then just runs the whole way like this is nothing . I was like yep , yep , this is this . Is that character introduction ? Right there ?
This is how you do secure . It's like I'm sorry , I was just like let me just spit on and say that it's almost like uh , gone is to Keelela , like Naruto is to Sasuke , to a degree to where it seems like you have that prodigy .
That's like , oh yeah , I can just do all this , you know oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , but I mean their relationship is a little bit more . You know , friendlier .
Yeah , oh yeah .
With Naruto and Sasuke , it's a rivalry .
So , yeah , it's not exactly the same . But you know , with between Keelela and Sasuke , you're seeing like you just have that one guy that's like oh yeah , that's his best friend , but he's also like kind of a menace when you think about it .
Because at the same time , you know , keelela would kind of like the black sheep of his family too , right .
And Keelela is also the only person that you would ever see in an anime that literally understood the fact that his friend was going to die if he didn't do what he was supposed to do .
And instead of being like no , I'm going to do this , he was like I'm going to have to abandon my friend in order for him to stay alive , because I care about him that much . Yeah , I see .
But funny thing is , who reminds me more of Sasuke than Keelela ? But Kankuro Pika , who wished to become a hunter in order to hunt down the phantom troop , a band of money-driven ideologists who massacred his whole clan in search of the red eyes possessed by his lineage .
So it's kind of different compared to what happened with Sasuke and the Uchiha clan , but it kind of sounds the same to where it seems like , okay , there's certain people that need to hunt down and kill for mass murdering my whole clan .
But if you want to make that , I mean , yeah , that's that comparison right there . Sasuke was in search for his brother because his brother murdered his whole clan . Why ? Because in search of the phantom troop , because the phantom troop murdered his whole clan , Like that's yeah , and both of them is the same thing .
The aspect of they both have crimson eyes and the eyes is , like , very important , because you know I'm not going to spoil this we're not really talking about the Nen part of this extreme review yet , but later on you find out that those special eyes actually have a very important part as far as the Nen control as well too , just like the Uchiha's and their
shiren guns as a form of char , as like a more important form of chakra control . So it's like crimson eyes that's important for , like special ability controls , yeah .
¶ Hunter X Hunter Characters and Plot
Ropeca , look , look where you specialize . My friend , I'm sorry .
Yeah , I thought . I thought the Uchiha concept was inspired by the um , by the corrupt clan . Yeah , yeah .
I mean I might even look into that , but definitely for sure I believe that Hunter Hunter , according to the 1992 version , it did come before Narozo . Uh well , I'll look into that .
It was written before you Haka show . So Well , there you go . It's much older , it's much older .
Yeah , yeah , somewhere .
Uh . And then we have Liorio , who kind of reminds me of Uraraka from my hero academia to a degree as far as motivation for being a hunter , to where uh , just let Uraraka and my hero academia she wants to get a hero to get the money and um provide for her family , because you know she come from uh I want to say a poor family .
We don't kind of broke , so it's like I kind of get that . And then you have some guys like Bakugou who just want to be rich . It's like hell of it . But Liorio , even though he wants the money , in reality he is a good dude , like he's good at heart . But you know , I understand the motivation though .
Uh , to be honest , he's probably the most forgettable out of the group . Yeah . Yeah .
Because it's like it's kind of there , it's like imagine Kakasi , but just doesn't do shit much .
Not even that Like there's been moments where Liorio wanted to give up and other people had to motivate him . He was not really the team motivator .
It realistically he was there Um , and I really think it'd be more for the nin , the farther the nin um point of it , because they just need to have a balance out of nin , like a certain effect that every character has at least one or two different types of nin control that they have , which left one that was unacclaimed , that was like unclaimed .
So Liorio is that has the person that has that nin ability . But realistically his story wasn't as well written to me so I can see more like it was serious , considering that he's like , oh , you know , he has a sister . He's trying to like take care of things .
It's like okay , gotcha , so yeah , he's a good heart to do , but then it's like nothing else there because he's not the team motivator . He's not , he doesn't help keep the group together . In fact he's wanted to abandon things multiple times . Sometimes he only looks out for himself .
It was like trying to write Bond for like seven deadly sins , but not as a good character , because Bond at least has like really good , like background story to him or at least more like better relations or has like a particular type of relation with every other character . But Liorio doesn't really have that .
Yeah , he's just like . We have a whole set of Liorio Other than I did , like how he stood up to Jing near the end , but I'm going to say that later . Is there anything else ? Okay , so basically they go to take the test , go on to Liorio keep in mind he is not there just yet , but he will eventually . Yeah . And then they arrive to Dolly Harbor .
They get instructions by the captain to head to the Cedar Tree on the hilltop behind the city . They , moving through this small town , they try to pass this test to . Basically they're going around asking people .
I mean not asking people , but basically it's like a quiz slash scavenger hunt , because you gotta find all these people and they ask them a quiz , questions and incorrect answers . Of course they will have to . They will end up failing , or , if they refuse to answer or attempt to head back , you know they fail .
And then you have this scheme participant who follows the tree around the harbor answering questions and so , in other words , like , okay , let me just hear what they said . And then , okay , they got to answer it . Now we're probably right behind them and give them correct answers .
So , yeah , so there's this old woman and she poses the question to the three asking which of their loved ones they would rescue , first implying the other would not survive Either the son or the daughter . And then Liorio complains that there is no right answer and repeat understand that it's a trick question and manages to stop Liorio from attacking the old woman .
She then went by time to time . It's up is no answer was given , they passed , and the right answer was silence . So I thought was kind of cool , because personally that wouldn't be me .
I was like I can't , I can't say either , or so yeah , but I was a trick question , I was trying to figure it out . I would feel right there .
My answer was kill both . So I would tell to and then find out that , oh , it was their kids . And you're like , I'm like , oh shit . Was it was that one mean was like do you have eyes on the target ? You say yes , sir , you said good , and they like you shoot .
He's like that's my son must stay alive at all costs after you just like straight up killed his ass . So well , this mission , time to move on .
Kind of moving on because I know we kind of pressed for time , but essentially with the navigators , help the three of them go to the top on city , the venue for the exam . The navigator leads them to a small restaurant that's actually the front for the hunter exam venue . The bonus group is led to a back room .
There's an elevator that takes you to 100 floors underground , below the knee to breath to the hunter exam participants on giving their numbers . Tom putt was to do that . Y'all were talking about that regular participant who failed 35 times and we're trying to see who . We try to fail all the rookie examinees by giving them drinks mixed with laxatives .
So I'm like what ? So you try to make them on shit themselves ? But uh , however , he fails to convince any of them to take the drinks , including Gones group . And then that's when we meet cookie guy Boy , he's soka .
Who's this magician who attempted to kill an examiner in a previous attempt to take the exam and then , after accounting for the number of participants and examined by the name of Satos , tells the participants to follow him in the first page of the exam , without telling them their destination or how far they travel . Uh , playboy , I know .
Cookie got to say what he said on he's soka . But what are your feelings on he's soka ?
Okay , it's a lot , I'm pretty sure .
But him how he feel about going , but like , aside from that , like my boy , really strong man , like he , I've seen him uh , the little bits of fights that I've seen him in , like I could tell you also have like some type of IQ , like I , like how he's able to uh for , for an example , because I kept playing it back , trying to understand when he was with
the Phantom troop and it was all inside that building and then , uh , the leader , he wrote down you know like a little like a him , like a poem . He would give it to you kind of a fake or like a little destiny type of thing . But when he saw that he read it and it changed when it swapped hands to other people , type of stuff .
And I was wondering , like I kept playing that part back because I was trying to figure out what this something he was doing , like manipulating it some type of way .
Oh yeah .
Oh yeah , I'm like , I'm like the man really on some like he playing games type . So I thought we trying to get a head of this and very force those things like that . So I kept trying to see , boy , it was just like a suit type
¶ Bungee Gum and Anime Abilities Discussion
of thing . So you know this character , the bungee , the bungee concept , how it ? What do you say ? And you dumb is it has properties of her and gum .
I mean the dude that always has to explain it every single time he uses it . My bungee gum has the properties of the gum . It's like we get it . He's playing it all the time , just like . Yes , it has the properties of both rubber and gum . I'm like , bro , we get it .
He might as well put that on his shirt .
Why are you tripping ? Why are you tripping ? Here in South Carolina I actually had did run into a dude that made a . He got a . Um , his hoodie specially imprinted with that , with his soca literally on the back , it says it has the properties of both rubber and gum .
I was just joking .
I know you were , but it already exists . Somebody has already done it .
I kid you , that's crazy . I wouldn't be surprised if I had seen somebody walking around in the heat of the crop top .
It's like he's just said that that was in South Carolina . But I'm sorry , but that did sound like some Florida man .
Why did I feel like he was going to do that ? I mean , I'm only the physicals on front floor , but yeah , I can't really like . Yeah , it'd be some shit going .
You would expect that to be some type of Florida shit . This is true .
And even because it's like they do it for themselves . It's embarrassing to even be from Florida now .
I'm sorry , bro , but it's like , see , here's the thing With those Florida man headlines . It's like some of them are like real fun . It's like , okay , that's got entertain . But then the sad part is when I was like you know what , let me switch it up and be like let's do some Florida woman headlines .
And I was like bro , like look at these Florida headlines Like maybe killing people , I was like whoa , what the fuck ? Is that funny ?
Oh , I don't know , I'm out of here Yo whoa down here . Oh man , I didn't think about the look at that one .
I don't know . I don't know either , bro , but yes , no , like I definitely feel that like he's so got that thing where he's like , honestly he's one of the best . He literally is one of the best news , is one of the best parts about it when it's like okay , his nan ability is just like , okay , it's just rubber and gum Like whatever .
Okay , so it's stretchy and sticky , but he's able to use that for like go well beyond . It's like literally not even so much having to jack about trades with being an absolute master of his ability . So I know we kind of skip , so I know we wind up skipping head on to it because that was like much later on when he did that .
But his texture surprise , that's what he calls it and really it's just him taking an object and he's using his own normal nan properties of both rubber and gum , so he makes it stick to something , but then using the elasticity of his rubber and then he's able to change light waves . So by making the light bend a certain way , it looks different .
And he does this like on a microscopic , almost a microscopic level , because he's able to completely make something look as though it was completely rewritten into something else , because he's bending lights differently by stretching out , patterns very differently and stuff , and it's like literal , just light manipulation by stretching and it's like that's insane , like to have
that much detail in your own ability that he's like .
I know how to use my ability on a microscopic level and that's one of the things that makes him the most dangerous , honestly one of the most dangerous villains of all time , not just an in-hunter-hunter , but realistically , like that's the absolute mastery of your skill , to an unknown degree , that makes Almos Damned in no sense .
That's what I was saying about that IQ like the man , really smart , aside from his , you know , ability being kind of Basically , if his ability was in the hands of somebody else , they'd be a side character , like side character side . This is just true .
Matter of fact , I would even go so far like that . What was it ? The anime Law of Iwaka ? Uh , like that one . No , Law of Yuki ? My bad , Like almost all of those characters aside from the main character , aside from , like , the main villain , whose ability is just to whatever he wants .
He just imagines it , but it's sacrificed some of his life for us for it . They reuse that ability in so many different other anime , but our main character I make trash from trees . Really , I make trees from trash . Like really , that's it .
But to be the point of like , oh , I can masterly use this skill to create whatever tree I want and do all this other type of shit and I'm like , okay , hold on , that's actually hold on , that's a little bit more intelligent . I thought , Like you went from what would be a side character ability to being definitely almost a main .
It's literally feeling like a main character , because you are actually kind of smart , Even more so I'm pretty good at doing all the five . Giorno . It was like , oh okay , he can give something life and using that to an utmost ability , to the point he's like oh , I'm able to create whatever plant I want to plant , so I can turn anything into anything .
I can turn a brick into a frog so I can make it poisonous and then create an antidote from it or some shit . Or I can create a plant to create healing herbs or some shit , like just just spray it , what's the hit Right , and so like . So that's one of the things and that's what makes him such a boss , like such a boss main character .
And , of course , the same thing , like you said , for like playing with his over , like anybody else , he will be a side character , but because it's in the hands of his soca , he made himself a fucking main villain , like on some real shit .
What can I say ? He's so crazy , dangerous . I mean , just look on his face . You know that one like I'm trying to paint a picture . But you know that one face he made where it's like he kind of sticking his tongue out while looking up in the air . I was like , bro , that's , and they just plaster that on memes and shit .
I was like , yeah , bro , that's a fucking minute right there , but what else ? The hunter exam . Yeah , sorry , ladies , I got something .
I don't know I was gonna say the best part of the hunter exam art for me was when they were on the island and they had to start snatching name tags . Oh yeah , okay , that's like the best , that that's the best part of the exam for me . So , realistically , I know , after they ran they wound up having to do the tower .
So the tower was like a , like I would say a because literally it lasted . It felt like it lasted too long because the only exciting part of the tower was the fight between our group versus like the main , versus like some ex criminals and shit that they had to fight and they were sitting here wasting time .
Whatever the amount of time that they had those fights , they had to lose . And of course , leorio's behind gets easily master , manipulated . This woman shows up and she's like I'm actually a man . He's like what I'm actually a man . But if you want to sacrifice some time and just yield this loss , you can prove me wrong .
Anyway , that you feel for as long as you like . And the dude wasted what was it ? He wasted like six or seven hours because he just wanted to touch on his woman's body . Like really , really , that's what was like . The order of me was just like that character .
Mike bro , you could have been gone Like forget you , man , you ain't ain't no point in you being here , why .
Bro , like I'm sorry , but am I the only one that thought of Naruto when he first met Haku ?
Oh , yeah , see , yeah , but see , that's the thing . That's just traumatizing . You can't really tell , especially anime , they set the viewers up for that one too .
I mean . I was like bro , you look way too feminine to be a boy . It's like , if y'all remember I don't know if y'all watched this , but did y'all ever watch that anime called Bakka and Test ? Because I plan on doing a review on that one no .
I'm happy to get into it .
Bro . Okay , first of all , funny as hell and it's actually pretty good . Two seasons is actually pretty good . But essentially they have this one character , hida Yoshi , who's so ambiguous as far as sexuality is like , even though he keeps saying that I'm a boy .
It's like sometimes there was a character that was like I don't know man , I don't believe that man , I was like you're just like a rapist .
This is a question of rap .
I was like yo , it's kind of funny , y'all should check it out when we are getting to the dance floor . What else we got going on with the Hunter E Sam . Okay , so we have this whole phase two . On the phase three , like you said , we got to the tower , trick tower , and basically they're going up against the participant because they're now down to what ?
42 candidates now , and now it's pretty much like a tournament art leading up to the Heavens Arena and we're going to talk about that later in another part . But what I did like about phase three of this and I know we kind of skip phase two , but you know we try .
Phase two was just running . I forget that that was the two of us .
Yeah , I'm like that's what I'm saying , it's like I'm not going to have a whole lot to say on this part , but there are some things that I did like .
And for instance , when they're doing the fight on going wins against White Gensettokon , and then Kurepika fights next and his opponent is Majitati who has I don't know , it's like it's kind of ugly , but then you kind of find out that on his back he has a spider tattoo which is the trademark of the Phantom Troop .
And it was like as soon as he saw that mark he was like red eyes . He just he was literally like blind rage , like he can see nothing but red . It's like that , that old saying that encapsulate Kurepika right there . So I was like I am literally seeing red , seeing this dude , and he uses special ability to beat Majitati .
And then he in the 1991 version or 92 versions , he was going like you know , there was like this area where they have this square arena , and then outside of that it's like kind of like a pitfall , and even though Kurepika kind of spared him , liorio was about to push him over , so it seemed , but I guess they didn't actually do that .
But , bro , it's like it got real sometime . So I'm not gonna say that the Hunter exam was boring , but it was kind of a slow burn leading up to the heavens of arena arc and everything else . So that's all I gotta say on that . But oh shit , we got like 10 minutes left on this little up .
¶ Best Part of Hunter Hunter Discussion
Honestly , the only other thing I kind of have , like I said , for me , the most exciting part to me obviously .
I mean you know phase three with the tower where obviously , you know , k'lior goes up against the grappler , goes up against the dude who's pretty much like Jack the Ripper type of shit , and it was just like , oh , he's like I don't really care about trying to reduce my life sentence or nothing like that .
He said I just want to kill someone , so you're unlucky enough to be a little boy , and that's just what it is . And like everyone's like back down , back down , k'lior , don't do this , he's going to kill you . He was like I got this walks over , walks past the dude , got his heart inside his bag .
He was like , oh , you said you thought I was good , my dad can do it without dropping even a drop of blood . I'm nowhere near as good as him . I'm just like what the fuck ?
I don't understand .
So the funniest thing about it is when I first watched Hunter Hunter was my mom knew I was into anime at the time , you know , like I was still like a high school and shit , and so you know I was like just graduated from high school and she had went ahead and bought me this DVD because she was like this looks like an anime , it's like something that you
know I think my son would , like you know , want to be a Hunter Hunter and it was like only four episodes . But it was four episodes Like between the first two episodes was like the very end of the the maze tower , and then like the beginning of them in the forest . So literally like so just those couple episodes and like that's where I started off at .
I started off on that fight with Liorio , one of the touch up , the girl in Kiloa just one shot , killing this one shot . Kiloa was like it was nothing and you know they wound up having to serve their time . The tower ended and they're right back into the forest .
So this is where I actually first started Hunter Hunter and then I had to go back , obviously , and start from the beginning to really catch up to see where I was at and stuff . But yeah , for me , like the forest to me was the best part because that was one where it felt like an actual hunter exam . Then your job is to hunt the other person .
That is what your job is , that is what your role is , and to me that was like OK , this is what it means to be a hunter , whether it be finding a person and assassinating them , because sometimes your hunter's job may be in assassination or sometimes your hunter's job may be just to locate and find something .
You have to go through various different territories . I enjoyed this one because we got a chance to actually see a bunch of other sideline characters and their amazing abilities that they have .
Like , we got a chance to see Hisoka as an actual hunter , like when he just got so encapsulated in his blood rage that he decided to just slice down the first person that he was going to find . And we got a chance to see Gon have this growing moment where he was able to snatch Hisoka's tag , like in the midst of Hisoka being in this blind rage moment .
We got a chance to really see some other side characters . We got a chance to see the dude with the little blow dart , and now he wound up hitting Gon from behind Like it was nothing Like just like sniping him . He's like you left yourself open as many times as like multiple times .
I had plenty of times to do this , but I really wanted to see if Hisoka was going to take you down first , but surprisingly he didn't , and I was surprised about that . Then he gets killed by Hisoka and I was like wait , hisoka was like you got me good . He said I was so focused I didn't even sense your energy there until after my tag was taken .
Then I knew that you were there . By that point I was so amazed that I was like I'm not going to hunt you down and kill you . I didn't want to see you nurture and grow . I want to see what type of hunter you're going to be .
And it was like okay , now this has gotten kind of creepy , hold on , so that that of course , we got a chance to see the do with the snakes Unfortunately wound up getting killed by bee stings . We got to see the girl with the met with the special bees out of her hat , like a bunch of different characters .
We got a chance to really get not just introduced to but really get to see what they do . Of course we really we've been . We were introduced to pinhead , who we later find out , of course , is Kielua's brother in the skies . We were introduced to pinhead for a little bit and you know he quickly just waste no time .
He finds his person , takes their tab and then he just like I'm just going to hide , I'm just going to dig in the ground to sleep . Three days , yes , but that's reason why , to me , the island like this phase was the best one to me , even better than ship phase , because the ship phase was pretty good too , but not as good to me .
It was nowhere near as good as the island phase , where they actually had to be hunters and using their own special skills to not only protect themselves but also hunt down either three other people or hunt down the person they were supposed to hunt in order to get the tags that they needed to successfully win and stuff .
And like this one was , to me , the best character building based upon this one . But what do you guys like ? How do you guys feel about that one ?
Honestly not a whole lot to say for real , because honestly I was just thinking about , okay , let's , if we're talking about hisoka and side characters and all the other shit , like I know you mentioned , um , he was brother in the sky , but I was like ready to be like yo .
Can we like talk about the Zoldik family for a moment , because they were introduced in 100th example and I would say I kind of like you , lumi , I hope I pronounced that correctly .
I hope so too , Otherwise he'll come down and hunt you .
Yeah , no , listen , because you know he knew me . I think his deal is he is going to eventually kill hisoka . I don't know . I think he's like contracted , I don't remember .
No , he was never contracted to kill hisoka , he was just wound up . He just wound up finding something he saw that was that sparked an interest in him . So he was just like cool . Because the only reason the Lumi wound up being in the hunter exam is that he had an assassination mission that he was supposed to take on .
But the problem is where he had to go . No one's allowed there unless you had a hunter's license . So he had to take the hunter exam , but he did not know that Kulua wound up following him because Kulua was bored , just trying to figure out what was going on , and decided oh , this seems interesting , I want to do it . Type of shit .
Gotcha . Yeah , I kind of find out he was penhead hellrager and what I did like even though I would say it doesn't happen to like later , like say in the election arc . I will say this I like it when he was hanging out with hisoka and hisoka was like hey , how would you feel if I killed Kulua ? And then this dude like switch gears so fast .
It was like there were crows or ravens flying , his hair was on raising like , and he was like I will kill you when you stand .
I was like , hey , he's a dude , hisoka back down quick .
Yeah , I was like oh no , I was like hey man , I was just playing bro . I was like I don't play about my bro , I don't play about my family , oh , oh .
Well , playboy , did you have anything that you wanted to say about that particular hunter exam , about the phase four of the island ? But you're not really . I think that has a problem , you know .
Yeah , oh , this is like yeah , it's all good .
No , no , no , my bad , I didn't even realize I was hooping and I had y'all on mute on the trip when I was talking . Yeah , I was trying to say I like when they made it to the mansion and introduced canary , you know going trying to keep getting punched in the face and knocked out by canary at the gate .
Oh , bro , that was funny , oh , that was funny bro .
¶ Hunter X Hunter and Boruto Discussion
I liked it . I wanted to see more of her . You know she had a job to do that works .
Well , gentlemen , it's about that time before the hit two o'clock on our time . We've got got anything else that's better before we go in and wrap this up .
No , no , I mean for the term arc . I enjoyed it . I did enjoy it , but I understand definitely it being not being considered the best because obviously it did have a very elongated slow pace to it . A lot of phases was just damn near forgettable . To be honest with you Now I know like we definitely want one to get to the Chimera arc , but we can't jump .
We got to get through the NIN , the introductory of NIN , first , then we can get to the Chimera arc .
Right , the whole island . You know that , jean LeFargon , the whole . You know what was the guy name , the last guy that had the fight at Dolls Ball , the little Dolls Ball incident , the little Dolls Ball competition .
I liked that one . Oh wait , the NIN , the NIN . Oh yeah yeah . I remember the Dolls Ball competition , but that was like , yeah , it was an introductory to NIN . That was when they had to go to the island . That was supposed to be like a video game .
Everyone was like oh , it's just a video game but they were trying to find out .
It's not a video game . It's actually transported to like an island in the dark continent .
I was thinking , oh yeah , greed Island , like I was kind of taking that one .
Yeah , Greed Island was great , but that one is actually also part of the introductory to NIN , so we can tackle that all next time too .
Yeah , okay , so yes , we just I mean , we kind of glossed over that Hunter is them , or what can we say ? Ladies and gentlemen , it's like it's good , but I just didn't have a whole lot to say . I promise you , by the time we get to Heaven's Arena and Phantom Troop Park , I'm going to drop the heat .
But like I said , gentlemen , y'all got anything else to add on ?
No , I'm good , I'm good bro .
All right , cool . Well , yes , ladies and gentlemen , that's pretty much the short of the Hunter exam , aren't ? All I would say is see for yourself . See if you like it , give Hunter Hunter a chance . We're going to continue with Heaven's Arena arc , maybe next month , like that really depends on the schedule .
Let me check right here , because I know you boys got to do what you got to do , but let me just look here . While I'm at it , let me just say this I am sad that we lost Lance Breddick recently . It's like he was on Destiny . He was on you remember Kugashi was talking about Farsar . He was the father . That was him too .
Oh man , I was like he was on Resident Evil . He was a bunch of shit and it's just sad that this is like damn , I didn't see that coming .
Thank you Definitely . Rest in peace and prayers to the family , of course .
Was there anything else going on ?
Oh right , apparently some Boratul fans talking about old chapters , 79 is going . It's way better than all of one piece . And I'm saying like , first of all , y'all are saying that two days early it came out today , but they were saying that two days early because of the premise of it .
And I'm going to , I'm going to spoil it for you up because that's like in the manga . But I'm just like bro , like just like I said in the zone Facebook group page , I'm like y'all , I swear to God , people just like to reach for a reason to hate on one piece . I'm like we get it .
You don't like your stuff , you don't want to sit through a thousand plus episodes , blah , blah , fucking blah . I'm like God damn like this . People just like the bitch about shit . I don't know .
It's almost like saying you have this ABC conversation about life , say , for instance , we're talking about Hunter Hunter now , and then somebody just walk up to you like man , I thought I'm hunting under with trash . I was fucking talking to you . I'm sorry , but I don't know .
It's just a weird thing to where you feel like some people just want to involve themselves , no fucking reason . I don't know Whatever .
I want us to watch Boruto .
Yeah , but even then it's like bro and we've with
¶ Discussing Anime and the Vegeta Effect
one piece . It's like they have a little something going on in every part , while with Boruto it's almost like it's good . But at the same time it's like I don't know if I want to sit through a whole bunch of flashbacks .
You know , like the way they try to build it up , where it seems like , like I said before , the way they try to set up at the beginning , it's almost like , oh well , we have something like . I know y'all got questions , I'll try to figure out what the hell is going on .
And before we do all that , let me go all the way back to the beginning of how this all happened . And then you're gonna have to sit through all these chapters and episodes just to get to the point that you're interested in most .
And it's like I'm trying to figure out what the fuck is going on with Boruto , what the fuck is going on with Kawaki , how the hell did Naruto die in this one ? I want answers . But he's like oh well , you're gonna have to sit through a whole bunch of shit before you get to that .
And I was like no , I don't want to see if y'all just started off without that whole foreshadowing thing .
It will be more surprising because , believe me , like the mere fact that , oh , kawaki might kill up on Naruto , that'll be way more shocking than just telling us at the very beginning that , making us go backtrack to how that happened , versus if you just let it be what it is and like , okay , just start from the beginning , just work your way out to there and
then . But that'll be even more shocking because it's bad enough that Naruto just lost to Rame and I was like , oh shit , they're gonna , they're gonna write Naruto off this fucking . Oh no , that would have been way more satisfying to hear . That's like when Kogase we talked about this before , how we're fucking shaman king , the way it's like , oh , with Zeke .
He was going to be introduced way later into the series and that was surprising . I like that shit . But then they got this 2021 version where it's like , okay , let me introduce Zeke in the first 90 , even 30 seconds , and I was like bro , he just ruined the whole mystery . He was like I want to be more surprised than that . I was like God damn .
What can I say ? What can I ?
say , ladies and gentlemen , until the next part of the Hunter Hunter review , until the next episode of the zone podcast , you stay blessed . Great force it is coming . We're zoning out . Take it easy .
Have the same Patrick's Day .
Yes , we have the same Patrick's Day . Yo , what's good . Everybody is Jet Black Extreme and Playboy continuing the Hunter Hunter Extreme review with Heaven's Arena and , without further ado , let's go ahead and zone it on the Hunter Hunter Extreme review .
So , this part , other than when we get to introduce to the whole Zolder family this is the part where I really got into Hunter Hunter because , like I probably said in the Hunter exam part in part one , that was a wall back .
By the way , I'm sorry we've been slacking on Hunter Hunter and bleeding some other reviews , but it's like a bunch of shit just been happening . We're trying to organize it to a point where , okay , there's a more consistent , yet easier schedule to work with . So we're trying to slow it down but at the same time stay consistent .
So we'll try to pump out like one review or at least a nerdy new special , like once a week or so . Yeah , that's the main thing .
That's the main thing like between the new stuff and some of the old stuff that I feel like we should have been covered is like oh man , like okay , and then on top of that the whole conflict of schedule and technical difficulties , like how some people would jump on . But they will be like either cut off or whatnot .
Then I'm like fuck man , like oh , it's like we just can't get a win this season , but we're still trying to pump out some new episodes , so let's just go ahead and try to get into Heaven's Arena here . So in the first episode we got going to Keelewa arriving in Heaven's Arena , where opponents get stronger as you ascend to the tower .
Try to train up , make some money . Both of them are immediately advanced to the 50th floor after their initial battles on the first floor . So they were like , okay , well , we're not going to like extended too far . But I'm like , hey man , like do they really need to go through every fucking floor ? Like no , no , no , no , no .
Like like we're just fast , right , that's it . Like you can go , y'all can go ahead to the like the 50th floor going , yeah , good , y'all good , yeah . Like they make it clear that Keelewa is very familiar with Heaven's Arena , but we'll explain that later because it gets kind of fucked when you think about it .
Anyway , they meet Zushi , another young team with this amazing strength . But when Keelewa faced off against Zushi , he has no difficulty at all , until Zushi used this strange technique on that makes him remember what his brother and Lumi did . So he was like scared enough to like back away . But you know Zushi's martial arts master on wings .
He instructs him to stop the technique . So go and Keelewa continue winning fights until they reached the 104 and a pair decided to add Zushi about this strange technique which is called Wren , but wing warrants them against it .
Keelewa insists that he knew because Wren is related to the secret pie , his brother's power , and in the end he will agree to study underwing . Now , let's stop right there .
So , like you just said , playboy , you were saying that , okay , keelewa is familiar with Heaven's arena , but that's mainly because he was instructed that once you reach the 204 , you better back the fuck out . Because , yeah , and it's real funny how Nen is a well known thing throughout the whole Zoldy family , except to Keelewa .
And it's really funny , yeah , it's really funny how , out of everybody , keelewa was the only one that had no idea what Nen was . I like okay , bro , I kind of see why . Because , listen , the fact that they had them , change them and shit like in the Zoldy family , are we covered it ?
But listen , I feel like in a way , Keelewa has great potential , but the same time they try to put a cap on his potential . It's almost like , see , I was thinking about this earlier .
I was thinking about this earlier this morning when I'm trying to get ready for this part of the review where I was thinking like , hey , yo , have you ever wonder how sometimes not all families , but sometimes it seems like you know there's that one kid with potential but because they , the family , want to like keep him controllable in a sense like I don't know
the best way to put it , but it's almost like right , yeah . Yeah . Listen , my dude listen . I was preparing for this review and comparing the 2011 version versus the 90s version . They cut out a fight where , okay , before he saw a couple fight , this one dude Castro . You know how he did Castro dirty in that one fight , but we'll talk about that later .
But before that fight he was supposed to fight this one dude and just washed the dude but they cut that out because even then back in the day they knew that Keelewa was that boy . So they were like , okay , let's just add more people in here . But they had to cut that out because , you know , amen can't like let go and get overshadowed by this guy .
It's like we know going is like the central character , but we don't know where you're here . For Keelewa , we know it's kind of like the Vegeta effect where it's like at this point it's like you know , like you just kind of want to see Vegeta pop off , like you don't really I don't know .
Kind of like with Sasuke too is like it's always that one character where it's like you just push the main character out of the way and I'll still watch this for him . Yeah , he's , they call him a due to dragoness , but sometimes the due to dragon is more like a traitor in some storytelling , but not always .
But Keelewa was the one where he's a due to dragon is . But he's not going to end up like betraying Gon , not like with a way Sasuke or or in a way Vegeta to a cent , but at least with Vegeta he started out even then turned out good . So you know it's different , but it's the same . Things like due to dragon is Okay . Yeah , keelewa was that boy .
And with this second episode this is when we get to talk about Nin . So in Wing's room , gon , keelewa and Zushi are being taught by Wing . He explains the four main principles there's 10 , rin , zetsu and Hatsuki . He demonstrates how Rin works by giving Keelewa the idea of killing him , but because of the strong pressure , keelewa is forced to back off .
Wing advises them to train with Zushi and start mastering 10 , but Keelewa suggests that they should leave . Keelewa reveals to Gon that Wing was lying all along , as his teachings don't explain Zushi's extreme resilience he noticed while fighting him .
Now Zushi is troubled because Wing lied to them , but Wing only says that for them to know that the other meaning of Nin is dangerous . So after clearing the 190th floor , Gon and Keelewa advance to the 204th floor , and that's when he realized why it gets a little dangerous .
So they were taught by their strong word , which makes them both very wary , and this employee in PER stated that they should register for midnight . But that's when he soaks up . I'm sorry but this dude I like him , but man , he's like the most , one of the most such characters in all of anime . Yo , yo , this dude , that's the thing .
He's like such a mystery because here's the thing we're going to talk about later when we do the next part but the fact that not only if he has this relationship with Gon on his own , then he has a relationship with Keelewa , by extension of Iwumi , but he also has a relationship with Kurapika , when you consider that he is or was a former member of the
Phantom Tree . So I'm like this dude is connected to these people for somehow one way or another . So I'm like , yo , this is the dude you got to look out for , that's the main thing . It's like hero , villain , anti hero , wherever you fucking want to call him . He's just a dude that you need to look out for , you need to watch him .
So , yeah , that's the thing . Is like a rote moral vibe , is like you don't you know he'd be up to something , but sometimes he does help , though it's like I just don't take your generosity lightly , young , but is there some strings attached to this shirt ? Yeah , it's like , what's your motto , sir ?
You , I'm not gonna tell you what , I'm not gonna say when , but when the time comes , I'm gonna need you . For the moment , I was like , oh lord , but anyways , go ahead , yes or no , not . The faces he'd be making , though , too , is like , the faces and the poses and shit . I'm like , hey , man , hey , but for real , though , for real .
So he shows up out of nowhere , warns him that they are not ready yet and he would not let them pass . You like straight up , gandalf down , like you shall not pass , and just apply that almighty push on him .
And then , and then wing appears behind him and offers the teeth of the real nin , and I'm like oh , the real nin , I'm like what you talking about and like before leaving , the employer also informs keela that if he can't register at the given time he will never be admitted , as he already failed to register for the 204 once as a kid .
So in wings room he finds he's just going to keep with the real net . All right , let's put a pause right there and let's talk about this chart right here . So there's like six parts to net as far as I know , like it's kind of weird , but let me try to explain . So there's enhancement , where it's the training themselves or objects .
There's transportation , changes the quality or or to match something else . Conjuration , where you're creating objects from aura , manipulation , controlling the anime and anime things . Admission , where you're detecting aura from the body , and specialization , where it's like a unique effect to you .
So gond is enhancement , keela is transmutation , because you know , with the lightning inches , like okay , he can like change his murders or into like lightning .
And you know , guys , people will talk about that later , we'll talk about later , but I kind of like it , though it's like it's not that complex , but at the same time it's like it leaves a lot of speculation to where , how far can you take each of these six sides of net , like you know where he's so good , like when he did that boy castro dirty .
Like yeah , he's supposed to be like a emission type , but the way he uses it , such on an advanced level , he's like how far can you go with each of these elements here ? that's what I'm saying okay okay , ha , okay , little space difference . Ah , that's well thinking . See , that's what I'm thinking .
If you're thinking like that , it's like , okay , this whole system . If he's in mission , that means he can go manipulation and enhancement , which will also make sense , to where he can , like you know , enhance the bungee gum , where I'm like , okay , yeah , so yeah , I kind of like that .
With that logic , I would say we're going he can do emission and transmutation and with Keywood he will probably want enhancement and conjuration stemming off with transmutation . But okay , okay , man , you know what , it's kind of same though , how , after the election , or like way after the Khmer and art is light , they just kind of dropped off with the anime .
I'm like , hey , man , like , but listen , like I'm gonna bitch about it on this part of the review , on the next part , in every part . Until this is done , bro , bring back Hunter Hunter anime For real . Like a lot of shit .
Like we want to see he soak up white Crowlow , we want to see a bunch of that shit that happened in the milk manga , happened in the anime . Like , come on , bro , like y'all brought back a whole bunch of new anime . Like y'all bringing back black Butler , y'all bringing back exercises , y'all brought back shaman king . Y'all brought back fucking Raroni kitchen
¶ Discussion About Anime Episodes and Characters
. I'm like all this different shit from way back in the past . I'm like , hey , man , y'all can , like you know , spin around the block , go down Hunter Hunter Lane and be like , hey yo , like y'all want to reboot or something . I don't know , man , Bring it back . Bring it back Rebooting and cocktail .
Yeah , yeah , I'm like not to be too insensitive about , but that's just how people are . I'm like would have been really great if the anime came back . I understand , yeah , almost one youth . Ah , I don't know what to say on this .
Right , alright , let's try to get through some of these episodes here , because , honestly , after they tried to explain , then pretty much it's just a whole tournament arc here . So going to Kewa was or we're on episode three . By the way , there are noes finally open . Thanks for Wings .
Help each know how to pass the he's okay , very of men a few hours before midnight . Going to Kewa come back to the hallway that he's so good guarding . They set the past through and going challenge so good to a fight , he's so good only a reply that if going manages to win even one match , he's okay , will accept his challenge .
So the two successfully registered before time runs out . After registering they , confronted by three fighters , run the 204 named Gido Satasso I'm sorry , oh , my god , you name dog . Yeah , yeah . So the two leave and head towards their room .
A message saying that goes mad will be on next day is seen on the television and next day , gido and going face off in the arena . Gido launches his spinning tops he called battle walls and going his left defenseless in the middle of the ring . Episode four the fight continues . Gido is using the spinning tops and going to start to understand how it works .
And after you understand the principle behind the technique , he's able to evade the test like fucking ultra instant type shit . You've seen that . Yeah , I was like bro , you just put on the ultra instinct on things on to like ill mad , yeah .
Now , however , he is not able to go on the offensive because Gido tornado top defense Now going continues to fight and manages to release some of his hidden talent , but eventually lose the fight . And after the fight is over , when Chastise go and forbid him from learning any more about men until his interest he'll .
And that's when Kuro Pika is denied a job at the agency and meets a stranger tested skills offers to teach him about men . That was episode four and like , honestly , like I said , not a whole lot . Okay , episode five , this depart where ? Well , two parts , but anyway .
One month after going in seriously injured , banned from directly practicing men or being part of any match , there's this two year anniversary match of the men user , castro against his soca . About to start at headmask arena , castro is being confident , remembering that no one's saying that not to fight if you do not have a chance of winning .
And then , episode six , castro and he's so good , fight off and cast . It goes on the offensive and appears to have an advantage . He's soca is unable to duck because Castro creates a nin double that hides behind Castro's attacks . Despite losing both arms , he's soca is confident and performs magic tricks , appearing to detach , reattach one arm .
He artfully secretly use his hot suit , bungee gum to kill Castro with the playing cards from one of his tricks . And after the fight , machi approaches , he's so can use his nintu . So both his arms back on . She has a message from the boss of the fan through and after she leaves , he took her to his fighter tattoo , repealing that it is a fake .
So that was what I was talking about earlier where , basically , he has some sort of tie to the offensive treatment and reality . I think he's just only there just on fight crow , yeah , going recovered from his injuries and trains and then , along with Kilo and sushi , under the instruction of wing , to do so I ride and get a kid now sushi to co-op .
I'm sorry , I'm fucking dumb . I'm not worth today trying to convince you what to agree to fight , to do so If they leave , you will , and friends alone . But so does so in the brain games promises by Triton going for the same purpose with sushi's shoe .
So he was threatened his life and so does so it never shows up to the fight , causing him to lose by default . And give me Kilo his first win in the battle of the 200 . Okay . Yeah . So a ride was his name and Kilo . He was read from Sadako and talk about cheating in their match against the upper hand .
He will interrupt them and train his feet and cold blooded demeanor to scare them into playing fairly after training tirelessly with sushi and wing going to kill the beat those two guys in their battles . I'm sorry , I'm tired of pronouncing their names . He's so impressed with going .
Progress appears with going way afterwards and invites him to his be his next opponent . To which going grief , episode nine . Going Kilo and sushi training and then and learn of the men or a types and preparation for going battle . Wing reveals at the end of the training that going has officially passed the second Hunter exam .
By the way , like if you thought the Hunter exam was over wrong like . Now it's over and he's officially under , or you know , at least until he gets his license . He gives him this update on their friends progress in this secret NIN exam and the fight between going and he's so good begins with he's so good dealing the first punch .
Going shadow the four tile to create a distraction and manage to successfully land a punch on his so good in the face . The bar that he's so good set for going being a worthy opponent . That's part where he was like hey , I punched you in the face , so take this back back , all right , episode 10 .
Going gives he's okay bad after he hits him in the face as part of their prior agreement . He's okay explains the types of horror by their personality . Distract going while using his bungee gum on him . The two keep fighting . He's so can use the bungee gums to take control of going movements .
He's so good wins the match because of his technique and a referee that awarded points to end the battle before going got seriously injured . I think the referee kind of had it out for going like there was like some shit to where he's okay , what's going a little . One note , not that more like going was on kind of winning .
But the referee , one after like one of those referees on a force field like maybe like football , whatnot , it's like oh , I didn't see nothing . Yeah , I'm like man , like get your eyes big man . Hmm . Man , it seems like you know he's okay . It's like one of those rivals that going happy eventually , um be like actually earned that win .
But that's like a very cheap and disrespectful way to humble that kid into thinking , oh yeah , no , you're not ready to be hisoka for real . Like he's good , he's , so I'm sorry , he's so good new that he could watch going at his current level . But it was more like okay , well , I'm kind of interested in you .
Like he this dude was like basically palpatine from the prequels star wars , where I'm like I'm going to watch over your career with great interest . That's pretty much what he's okay was to go into . Where I'm like I could have killed you at any moment , but I'm interested in you .
I want to see how well you grow up , so I'm like I'm going to keep you alive for now . I mean , like I said , like I said , though , like he's so connected to some of these people , I'm not surprised if he is yeah , like yeah , man , I'm like breeze , pass me right now and then one of it .
I'm like you could have told me that I'm like yeah , but it's like what Jean said like what good would that do you Like ? I'm still kind of heated about . We'll talk about in the election or . But that was just one of those things that got me really heated about Jean . To where this ? We already looked like , by the way , that punch will deserve .
But man , I'm like Jean straight up said like hey , man , like , even if I told him where I'm at , what good would that do him ? I'm like man like see y'all like to talk shit about people like Goku and Naruto being bad for them .
Hey , man , here's Father the year over here and you know what , speaking of which last two episodes , guess who got to talk about this nigga .
¶ Hunter X Hunter and Anime Reviews
So going heads home to Whale Island after he lost his soca and all that shit . Keele and Gonbeard they're very well to wing and zoo as they depart to visit Gonbeard's aunt on Whale Island , leaving Heaven's arena behind . But he heads home along with Keele , with Mito and her grandmother toke on about Jin's past .
Gonbeard receives a small boss from his father and Gonbeard eventually manages to open the small boss with his nin and finds three items a ring , a cassette tape and a video game memory card . Believe me , those things are going to matter later , but not right now .
So , after examining the unusual ring , they decide to listen to the cassette tape which contains a voice recording from Jin on the audio . Jin ask on if you want to see him , and so this is the shit I'm talking about .
Like it's almost like you're kind of emotionally manipulating this kid because , on one hand , it's like you kind of don't give a shit to where , like you send this boy on this whole quest to try to find him to grow strong enough to , you know , be a hunter . By the same time it's like the Vik put him on up . I . I you .
And I'm saying you're thinking , bro , like this is from the fight , from a storytelling point of view , this is from the same dude who made you you hawker show and Where's our use case ? Father at Well , all that shit was going on with you scared , exactly .
So it's wild , like I think it's absolutely crazy how it just seems like , yeah , there's this trope where daddy was never there . Oh , my god , I'm sorry , I know now , you know it's funny . I was thinking about that third Austin Powers movie is like dad , yeah , bro , like , but a yo , like .
I didn't even know how wild this was until you realize that , remember , playboy are imitatable , like sometimes , and you know how , how it is out here , with these people , with these family dynamics , and I'm saying here like , bro , thank God I grew up with with not only my blood father but my stepfather , to like , thank God for it , because I'm like I could
have been way off worse . Yeah , so I'm like it's kind of sobering . You think about it like , but like you got like Some father . That's like okay , to be fair , some fathers do want to be in their kids life , but let's just say some people are so you know what .
Let me just go ahead and wrap this shit up because we're on the last episode anyways , like Basically going here to mention from his father going Keywood grab their information about the memory card from the item box . Keywood gets a lead on his brother About the game which is going to be presented in the auction which will be held in York City .
So the two lead on . Well island journey to your new city . Oh my god , see . And that's another thing .
I Like how it's very obvious that your city just makes you think of New York City , but because I'm so used to New York City , like saying York , new City just feels so weird , weird dog , the big Apple , apparently , see , see , yeah , that's one thing , but it's usually like either New York City Watch them DC or or LA , yeah , like man , have you seen those
places ? By the way , I'm like not trying to talk too much shit , but I'm not me hearing shit from people who actually live there . I'm like a man . It's not always sunshine and rainbows on those three places like y'all need a fucking , do your research , get the nose of people who know the place . You know .
No , no , no , see , the funny , the funny thing is the closest thing they ever did to Florida and anime was JoJo's part six , where you know they would took place in on Florida , the whole prison , all that shit .
That was the closest they got to Florida , but it really yeah , yeah , yeah , it was like based in Florida , yeah , yeah , oh , boy , boy , it's like , it's really good , like bro . This is why I say that if you're gonna watch part six , you gotta watch all of it for everything else to make sense .
Like trust me , because once you see part seven , see the way it ends and all that shit is like , oh , I see . Yeah , like I know we already did the JoJo's bizarre adventure review review , blah , blah , blah . But yeah , I Well , that's just a thing with JoJo's life , because it's good .
But some people are just turned off by the animation and how it can be a little flamboyant , but it's not really like that . But I mean , like you gotta be a . It's one of those things where you just gotta keep an open mind . But it's not as weird as you think . But when you really get into it it's like it gets tactical , it gets dark , it gets crazy .
Like like , okay , I'm gonna , I'm gonna do it to you . Like this and it's not exactly a spoiler , but it's more like a detailed to it . Once you see a is like , okay , I kind of see what JB was talking about . So imagine , out of nowhere you go into the bathroom and you see a pig's head in the toilet . That's how weird it is .
Imagine this the range dude picks up a dog and bites his snout , snout off , his whole snout gone . Watch it , just just watch . Just watch the show . Okay , like it gets , I'm telling you , built different as an anime . It's like you thinking , okay , it's not hentai swear .
But I'm like , bro , like you walk in or like you just see some weird shit almost every five minutes . That's all I say . It's on Netflix , so go ahead , yeah , and oh , bro , I don't . This show takes turns . Oh , anyways , we pretty much concluded heaven's arena . We're gonna do York , new City . Well , really is more than a fan , some truth art .
But , man , do I like the fans , or where I'm like , oh see , gonna see Kuro Pika having some venture arc and you gonna see that , yeah , you gonna see a lot of shit popping up . That's where it's like , okay , you really want , oh shit , this like okay .
I want to say , to a degree , hunter , hunter , give me Naruto vibes , because you know , tuning Sam's the sauce gate retriever , where basically going to a and I mean going to a Pika and Liorio try to retrieve key will from his family , all this , yeah , yeah .
Then we have crew Pika , pretty much beyond his avenger , or kind of like Sasuke and all this other shit where I feel like the second part of the Sasuke retriever , aside from , you know , naruto trying to save his friend . This , the Phantom Troop arc is the other side of the Sasuke retriever art , where I keep telling people .
This is the arc where five boys became men . This , this is for real . This is happening . Yeah , like the training wheels are off . Yeah , and they will . And we will talk about it when we do the Phantom Troop arc eventually . I'm hoping that we do it sometime in October 2023 , but we'll see .
We got a bunch of shit going on because we want to demons play in my hero academia review nightmare before Christmas . I'm going up doing solo on that , velma . I'm like I'm like I'm like I'm trying to find people that can suffer with me . I like , hey , man , can you see that ship cook ?
I kind of want to talk about it , but I kind of don't want to alone . But , man , I'm like you know what , you know what ? Fine , fine , I'll solo it , but , believe me , it's gonna be the angry as review I ever done .
But yeah , we got some shit going on in October , so until then , stay there to my friends and remember that good things are coming great things are coming sinister things and oh , yeah , you know things at the bottom of the episode .
