Just want to say, y'all did a fantastic job editing this one. This episode is pretty tough for reactors because the whole episode is such a banger that it's hard to cut it down for fair use.
i wanna reword that and say more so that it didn't prevent them from just being themselves.. because the whole worry with this episode being hyped is that maybe it wasn't going to be a great enough reaction to meet the audience's expectations.. these two should definitely worry less bout whether it would be a great reaction or not, and just be themselves and enjoy themselves cause that's what watching anime is all about.
@@ulf7279 Can't really fully enjoy yourself if your subscribers are hyping/spoiling future eps. for you. It would have been an even better reaction if they weren't expecting something big from this ep. Whenever my friends ask me what's going to happen next, I just tell them to watch the show.
@Chair of Truth It's not about predicting what's going to happen... that's not the problem. It's about the reactor knowing something big is going to happen during the hyped episodes, therefore ruining the surprise. But I dig what your saying though.
NOT Spoilers. Gon went the 'Kurapika route' of sacrificing something in order to obtain power. Gon created a convenant; sacrificed his ability and and potential growth. A restriction; only able to wield all that Power till he defeated Pitou. In return, he received all the power obtained if he trained for his entire life usable in that fight only. Regarding Pitou being able to 'fight' after being dead. That is her Nen activating according to her previous emotions, which is her desire to protect the King. Remember, one of the reasons why the Spiders did not kill Kurapika was that they were afraid that the curse bound to Chrollo's heart would still kill the boss. In this case, it would activate according to Kurapika's previous emotions which is revenge for his people.
I would add two things: the fact that he is an enhancer also matters in what Gon did. Speeding up his growth and enhancing it to his absolute full potential And also his deep hatred to Pitou and his personal connection and reaction to Kites death. Guilt, hatred, anger, despair everything mixed into a pretty fucked up Nen cocktail
Actually that wouldn’t have been his peak Lilly’s said nonstop training For 10-20 years of coarse that means he could train even longer also pitou said that he transformed to the point where he could defeat her so theoretically if he’d made the same restriction with post rose Meruem he could defeat him as well
Which still makes no sense since Netero used his 2nd most powerful attack out of two attack shown and didn't even scratch her, but gon did !? Yeah ok 🤣🤣🤣 gon using friendship and feelings power plus plot armor was what allowed him to win
Perfect sense. Take into consideration what kurapika did in the phantom troupe arc whic was his “deep seated” hatred to create that ability which he learned from kurapika. Gon made the contacted with his feelings and hatred of Pitou to make vow to be stronger than her. She came back cause of her feelings to protect the king from all threats like the mini auction arc
It was so sad to see how Gon lost himself. From the beginning he was always this happy, outgoing kid and to see him like this was truly heartbreaking. To me this is definitely the best episode of hunter x hunter.
@@dimasbram7176 yea but can't you say if you push someone to far they technically lose themselves? Gon was willing to use komugi as a hostage and kill her just to take out pitou. The Gon we know would never do something like that. If that not losing yourself i dont know what is.
@@jairnavas1049 I'd argue that all of Gon's actions during the arc are very much in line with his established personality throughout all the arcs prior to Chimera Ant, only they're are far more extreme because the situation he's in are also like that. Which is why I heavily disagree with the notion that Gon lost himself or that he became a monster. He's always been a fucked up kid morality wise and his actions during CA just show us the full extremes he's willing to go to fulfill his desires, which are pretty fucking extreme. It's why he's able to just go back to being the happy go lucky kid we think of him as during Election, because that slightly insane "monster" is just who he always was.
@@trofulds Agreed, hes shown and said he does stupid things that puts his life at risk. But I don't agree with threatening someone innocent, i don't remember seeing anything to justify that decision.
Pitou wasn't lying about Kite. Also she's a royal guard, her entire reason for being is to protect and serve the king. He doesn't have to tell her to do anything, she's just doing what she was born to do. Also this episode was lit your reaction didn't disappoint lol
She is not dumb, she attacked Kite in front of Gon and Killua and Gon was pissed, and off course she lied to protect Komugi, that was the king's will and like you said, she does whatever he wants
there was something about "someone who challenges the king" some episodes ago, so that why she said the "i must kill you, for the king" she was protective to the last minute
Mekz91 Pitou is genderless because it's an ant. She has a female voice, body, instincts and was compared to a mom (female), Togashi requested a female actress to do her voice so, yeap, it's okay to say "she" if you are referring to Pitou
@@mimiduran2441 Very few people have the ability to achieve something like that, not talking about playing piano but actually achieving manifestation of your inspiration. People get inspired by something almost every day but also forget the feeling of it after few hours.
Pitou wasn't lying; she didn't know who 'Kite' was. She only recognised him once they were infront of Zombie-Kite, because she'd never heard his name before. I think she was genuinely feeling sorry for Gon, but her devotion to the King was more important to her. Gon made a condition using his nen: he sacrificed his future to kill Pitou. Since he's an enhancer, he did this by forcing his body to mature.
I don't think it matters at all that Pitou wasn't lying. Had she known who Kite was, she'd still have told him the same thing because that would have been the best way to handle her priority. She would have lied if she knew who Kite was, she just happened not to know it.
@@Arkayjiya That's your assumption, based on your perception of the character. At the end of the day Pitou didn't lie. You can say all you want about what Pitou "would have" done if this and that, but that's all complete speculation, and I'll wait for Togashi himself to say Pitou would have lied to get what she wants. As for what actually happened, Pitou didn't lie, that's the end of it.
post death nen is a really high level nen concept in hxh that hasnt been fully explained we just know it is superpowerful and is capable of extraordinary things. even supernatural things.
Yeah, post death Nen is thousands of times stronger than normal Nen. For example, the troupes didnt go after Kurapika and his friends because if he died the curse he put on their leader would become so strong that it would be impossible to remove it.
@@VVayVVard Not in this world, every person can potentially learn to use Nen and has Nen in their bodies. Its a pretty natural part of live in that universe
@@TooKorky No, Nen itself is supernatural in nature. It's naturally within creatures, but its abilities and effects are beyond nature, hence supernatural.
@@VegaSlides It is part of nature in the HxH universe though. If you go out to the dark continent creatures other then humans are there using it aswell.
I think i started following this channel for your reactions of HxH last year. It's crazy how we get already here, it's been a really fun journey with you, you are awesome
I'ts a contract, he said "i dont care if is the end" and then " so i will use everything" He exchange all his potencial for full power. It's a death contract, tha's the explanation of the power up.
And there we go. The saddest ultimate powerup in shonen history. I haven't clicked on anything faster. It's fine to cry for Gon, Imon. This is a sad one despite the victory over Pitou. But yeah, Abi, all this time you were calling your son a demon... Well there ya go. He basically took all of the aura he would ever accumulate over the rest of his entire life if he trained constantly for decades, and pulled it all down into himself in that moment. That's why they were saying it drained his life energy and he'd never use Nen again, because he took all of his future potential for getting stronger and gaining power and used it all just to kill Pitou. This episode is why Chimera Ant is so long. It's been 45 episodes since Kite died; almost a year if you were watching weekly. All of Gon's frustration, waiting for this moment to come, all for it to finally pop off in this one intense emotional episode. It's amazingly good. And this isn't even the most intense it gets; since you're three weeks ahead, I know you've seen what I'm referring to, and that's the one I've actually been waiting for...
@@emperortime4907 eh no.. what does intense really mean? When I first watched this I knew what happened and what the outcome would be so I wouldnt consider it intense.. meanwhile there are other scenes that could be considered actual intense struggles more based on the context of what gon went through..
@@ehlert99 you knew Gon would transform like that, Killua would save his life with Gon losing his arm, using his arm to impale pitou and finally blowing himself up? Wow you are genius
@@emperortime4907 SPOILERS FOR MANGA Hisoka vs Chrollo is close. If it gets animated, then it might become just as or even more intense than this episode.
Pitou deserves some respect. she did her duty as a royal guard till the end. her loyalty to king is just unwavering and is pure unlike self centered pouf who is more loyal to the idea of "ant king" but not the ant king himself
Hell nah her and poof are equally as bad and good. She literally promised gon that she'll try to fix kite when he was weaker and now she's dead because she tried to trick him like a little witch.
@@h3llboyyy407 They didn't know who Kite was when they promised that tho, so they thought they could fix him, but when Pitou saw who Gon was talking about thats when it became clear to them that Kite died during their fight.
Shout out to Togashi !!! Totally appreciate how part of the fandom is like “nah don’t be worried now! You wanted Pitou to know pain well she knows it, and look at what it did to Gon!” 🤣😂 sometimes the comments can be hilarious
Pitou doesn’t need the king to tell her to kill Gon, she sees Gon as a serious threat to the king so she needs to kill him, she was devoted to that back when she was healing Komugi. She isn’t totally bad, and I’m not justifying her actions to be ethical or anything, but she truly felt sorry for Gon but she “must” kill him cuz he posses a threat to the purpose of her existence it’s only natural
@@addollz6192 Well Kite was literally systemically planning to kill all the Chimera Ants, so she had a reason beyond pleasure. And we can't exactly judge the ants on their original mindsets now that they've all developed further into their own identities. Pitou killing Kite wasn't anything really worse than what some other characters have done in the past of the series.
@UCO7TuDi-bQNpKeBcOt9sL5A She never tortured Kite, where are you getting that? And having an enjoyable fight to the death isn't exactly the most evil thing we've seen or heard
pitou considered Gon a threat to the king, thats why she said "I was right" because she sees what hes capable of. She wasn't evil, but only in the perspective of gon. Remember shes another species and doesn't look at people as equals kind of like people with a pigs.
Its Restriction and Covenant, like Kurapika's powers against the spiders, Kurapikas restriction is that his powers can only be used vs the troupe. Gons restriction is that this he traded his future for this power that will only be used vs Pitou. The kind, ambitious, pure-hearted, fun loving kid sacrificed this entire future, his chance to meet his father, his future friendship with Killua, everything, all for revenge. It's heartbreaking. Also I love that you guy weren't like the majority of reactions to this episode being hyped about 'Gon going beast mode' but instead actually seeing that this is a very sad thing.
Y’all are some of my favorite reactors fr. The emotions y’all display are always what I hope people will have when I watch the shows you guys do. Glad y’all were able to watch this unspoiled
"Is this like a horror film?" *flashbacks to Killua's arrival* I'd say that's a fitting genre for this episode. Also the black and white scenes with the bright red blood reminded me a lot of Quentin Tarantino's films.
The episode that breaks everybody. Also I LOVE in stories when you reach a point where you have no idea what could happen next. A testament of great writing
The intense atmosfere around Gon almost this entire Arc, the soundtrack, the visuals, a lot of feelings and things to understand in the same time, just remember about the conditions of Nen, is a thing the Gon know very well since Kurapika in Yorknew, he sacrifice his own Nen and life energy, he already know Bisky so as a enhancer he did the oposite of her and said: "I don't care anymore, I use everything". Great that the hype not ruined this reaction, this was awesome and congrats in the edition.
Loving this new Intro design. Thank you for the reaction Abi and Imon. I’ve enjoyed watching hunter x hunter and other shows because of you guys. Much love and positivity to you guys 🙏🤍
Now you guys know why everyone who meets gon, is terrified of his potential. He could have been this powerful if he trained hard for decades. He used the same technique as kurapika to unlock this power. He sacrifice all his future potential power while restricting it to only be used on pitou, that is why he became so powerful
thats what caught my attention. This gon is actually achievable through normal means which is truly scary because if hes equal to the king (from the last time pitous seen him), we know how powerful he. He was by far the strongest hunter we ever seen, I don't know know about in the future of the series though.
Crazy thing about this is I feel like he only sacrificed enough to defeat pitou at the time. If he trained for decades and achieved this on his own who knows how powerful he could of truly been. Just my theory. I could be wrong.
When y’all started Hunter X Hunter I was waiting for this arc. This is just a tough episode to make it through. Gon is such a wholesome character and to see him with this much despair and pain is difficult.
I think those of us who had already watched HxH in the past were not at all worried about you guys not having a good reaction to this episode. If you are emotionally invested in the show and characters it's pretty much impossible not to have a genuine reaction to this episode. Also, the show itself builds to it very obviously so even though people told you guys in advance that the episode was going to be big, the show does that anyway. By the time you get here, you know something big is about to go down one way or another even without being told by outside sources. So there was really never any doubt, at least in my mind, that you guys would have full blown emotional reactions to this episode just like we all did the first time. Excellent reactions as always and I hope people don't use this episode as a reason why it's okay to spoil the episode number of the high point of a show in the future, because even though it doesn't mean much in this particular case, it's still not cool.
I swear this episode gets me every time I watch it. Even when I think to myself “ I’m good. I’ve seen this before”, my emotions just can’t be contained... My to favorite characters in probably all of anime in a tug of war with who they are. I’m so glad you both got to experience this moment. This was my favorite anime moment of all time. And after seeing it again years later, it still reigns supreme. Great reaction video 🙏🏾
Been silently watching you guys take this journey. I cried my eyes out the first time I saw this episode... cried my eyes out when y'all did. Y'all created an awesome community here. I came for the feels and stayed for the love of the crew posting with me. Love y'all... job well done and now we can be all cathartic and cry our eyes out together.
Beat reaction BY FAR, like you guys are super sincere and don't act like you own the shoe (as the other reactors do). Great vid, glad you enjoyed this!
Pretty much everything about Gon's transformation is designed to be at least vaguely unsettling. From the ridiculously long hair to his clothes to having this hulking figure using Gon's childish rock-paper-scissors attacks.
This is one of the best episodes in anime's history. The philosophy behind this episode is amazing. The meaning. Sometimes it's a little bit confusing when people see it for the first time, but I think you guys will be able to understand in the near future.
I've seen your reactions to other shows this was definitely the best one I've seen so far it was perfect and even I've seen this scene several times I actually felt watching this with you guys like it was the first time.
the difference is, buff bisky is her true appearance and she uses nen to disguise herself. gon made a contract with conditions to forcibly age himself and boost is own power in exchange for everything,
He's an Enhancer, so while having a breakdown the mind took over and gave him what he desired most at the time. He wanted power, and the mind made his body grow to a point where he can have that power.
IMON, baby girl!! This chapter is so emotional, I get teary eyed every single time. I really felt the "What have they done to my boy!?" but yeah, Gon totally lost it.
Oh boy I have to keep up with you guys through the next few episodes. One of my favorite episodes in anime of all time. The slip of Gon into insanity. The arguing with himself about what is really happening and where to direct his rage. Then the emotion, music, and animation are amazing.
Gon: I don't care if this is the end, so I'll use everything. That is 'Contract & Limitations'. The following is a excerpt from wikipedia. "A Nen user can enter into a Contract (誓約, Seiyaku) where, by pledging to follow certain Limitations (制約, Seiyaku), their abilities are strengthened in relation to how strict they are."
I actually really like when reactors cry even if it interrupts the show. Like the time you did so for walking dead episode waaay back. I personally always watch people who analyze but also show extreme emotion which is why you two are among my top 4
Gon achieve that power the same way Kurapika gained power so quickly he made a vow to never use nen again to get the power he wanted to defeat Pitou and also vowed to use it only against Pitou. Just like how Kurapika vowed to only use his full power against the Phantom Troupe and if not he’ll die
Ur right in the gon part a little off on the kurapika part, his restriction was to only have some chains only useable on the phantom troupe like chain jail and judgement chain, which is what made them so strong.
Gon used his natural affinity to enhance his aging speed to a point where he’s in his prime while forfeitinf his own life in exchange for all the power he’ll ever have
I've been waiting for ya'll to get this part and when you said, "Well, first of all kill her." I was dead. Love ya'll reactions and this one got me so geeked. I had to call my son up and thank him for putting me on to this one during this quarantine. We talked for hours about it and he was like, "Dad, I told you you'll be calling me back soon. " I replied, " I stand correct Josh, you were right. This series is lit."
Im glad their opinion on pitou softened somewhat, they were one of my favorite characters in the arc and this episode has a lot more impact when you have sympathy for pitou, like in the discussion afterwards where they talked about gon repeatedly punching pitou and how that was disturbing, that was great because at least from my perspective, in this episode gon was the one in the wrong he was going down an incredibly dark path and he didnt care about anything anymore. That said this reaction was great you guys are one of my favorite reaction channels.
Nen is all about how specific your task, and how much you're willing to give for it People like Uvogin and Netero, they just want to be strong in general, they gotta work on it Kurapika wanted an insane technique, but *IF* he used it on more than a dozen specific people, he'd be dead Gon went all out, showing basically how far the covenant aspect could be pushed. There was no *IF*, he said "take my nen, take my body, take whatever, just give me 20 minutes of beating this cat's ass to a pulp and I don't care what happens after that", and Nen let him do exactly that. So much more interesting than series with 1:1 power levels
In all the reactions I’ve been to I haven’t seen a single person recognizing one fact about the chimera ants, they are newborn children. Regardless of their form or power they are only a few months old at best and are acting almost entirely on instinct as would a lion or a bear and yet nobody seems to realize or appreciate this and I see so many people reacting with such resentment for the ants especially Pitou when the life they have led and their eventual deaths are nothing short of tragic. Children without guidance torn between powerful instincts a developing sense of self, surely I am not the only one who realizes this right?
lol, it's always great seeing people get so immersed in the scene that they physically lean to try and see around Pitou as the camera pans to show Gons "final form".
Love how there are always two types of people in this arc. Those who hate Pitou and those that hate Pouf (understandably so, but also understanding their absolute devotion to the king makes them easier to sympathize with imo).
The line ‘I’ll use everything’ explains his transformation. He made a condition with himself that if he can be strong enough to kill her, he’ll never use nen again
Just want to say, y'all did a fantastic job editing this one. This episode is pretty tough for reactors because the whole episode is such a banger that it's hard to cut it down for fair use.
Prolly could have done 2 parts but this edit somehow covers all the juicy bits which is almost the entirety of the episode, so it's well done.

@@emperortime4907 eh no.. what does intense really mean? When I first watched this I knew what happened and what the outcome would be so I wouldnt consider it intense.. meanwhile there are other scenes that could be considered actual intense struggles more based on the context of what gon went through..
@@ehlert99 you knew Gon would transform like that, Killua would save his life with Gon losing his arm, using his arm to impale pitou and finally blowing himself up? Wow you are genius
@@emperortime4907 SPOILERS FOR MANGA
Hisoka vs Chrollo is close. If it gets animated, then it might become just as or even more intense than this episode.
Pitou deserves some respect. she did her duty as a royal guard till the end. her loyalty to king is just unwavering and is pure unlike self centered pouf who is more loyal to the idea of "ant king" but not the ant king himself
I didn't like how abi was one-sided the whole time about her
yes, but shows how interesting the plot is when people showing empathy and total indifference to diferent characters, si not good and bads.
Agreed! They need to put some respecc on baby girl
Hell nah her and poof are equally as bad and good. She literally promised gon that she'll try to fix kite when he was weaker and now she's dead because she tried to trick him like a little witch.
@@h3llboyyy407 They didn't know who Kite was when they promised that tho, so they thought they could fix him, but when Pitou saw who Gon was talking about thats when it became clear to them that Kite died during their fight.
Shout out to Togashi !!!
Totally appreciate how part of the fandom is like “nah don’t be worried now! You wanted Pitou to know pain well she knows it, and look at what it did to Gon!” 🤣😂 sometimes the comments can be hilarious
Pitou doesn’t need the king to tell her to kill Gon, she sees Gon as a serious threat to the king so she needs to kill him, she was devoted to that back when she was healing Komugi. She isn’t totally bad, and I’m not justifying her actions to be ethical or anything, but she truly felt sorry for Gon but she “must” kill him cuz he posses a threat to the purpose of her existence it’s only natural
she is bad lmao, she had no reason to kill kite but pleasure
@@addollz6192 Well Kite was literally systemically planning to kill all the Chimera Ants, so she had a reason beyond pleasure. And we can't exactly judge the ants on their original mindsets now that they've all developed further into their own identities. Pitou killing Kite wasn't anything really worse than what some other characters have done in the past of the series.
@UCO7TuDi-bQNpKeBcOt9sL5A She never tortured Kite, where are you getting that? And having an enjoyable fight to the death isn't exactly the most evil thing we've seen or heard
Add Ollz you can see that she changed between the moment when she killed him, and her fight with gon. It's like the king.
Add Ollz
Kite was attacking the nest. Lol. She had every right to kill him
9:28 turns out thats actually what it sounds like. Thats not the studio being dramatic. The manga described it as a saw being drug across steel wires.
That’s so awesome!
When I first saw that transformation, one of my instant thoughts was, “where’s Hisoka”
a swing wouldn't be enough to describe the state of his D
@@matteohu4613 his balls gonna burst
lmao
That’s something I never thought about …… wtf
Thought the same.
He would have loved to be between the two and getting wrecked, but in my opinion it would have been more than he can chew.
7:05 Without fail, EVERYONE does that little lean of their head trying to see around Pitou ahaha I did it too
pitou considered Gon a threat to the king, thats why she said "I was right" because she sees what hes capable of. She wasn't evil, but only in the perspective of gon. Remember shes another species and doesn't look at people as equals kind of like people with a pigs.
You two are SOOO underrated!!!
One of the best reactors ever!! Been waiting for this and you definitely did not disappoint! Much love
I just realized this was symbolic of losing your innocence as a child a becoming a “man” because of war
Gon was losing it since the beginning the writer threw hints in plain sight
7:00 I like how every reactor I've seen tilts their head when they're looking over Pitou's shoulder lol
Cinematography : 100
I saw Jaster-sama did it as the first one hahahaa
Its Restriction and Covenant, like Kurapika's powers against the spiders, Kurapikas restriction is that his powers can only be used vs the troupe.
Gons restriction is that this he traded his future for this power that will only be used vs Pitou. The kind, ambitious, pure-hearted, fun loving kid sacrificed this entire future, his chance to meet his father, his future friendship with Killua, everything, all for revenge. It's heartbreaking.
Also I love that you guy weren't like the majority of reactions to this episode being hyped about 'Gon going beast mode' but instead actually seeing that this is a very sad thing.
It shows how gon loses his humanity,meruem is the opposite because he’s gaining humanity
Y’all are some of my favorite reactors fr. The emotions y’all display are always what I hope people will have when I watch the shows you guys do. Glad y’all were able to watch this unspoiled
"Is this like a horror film?"
*flashbacks to Killua's arrival* I'd say that's a fitting genre for this episode. Also the black and white scenes with the bright red blood reminded me a lot of Quentin Tarantino's films.
Imon: I don’t like this song
Gon: I don’t care
😭
Abby's character development is pretty consistent since episode 85.
LOVE IT!
I've never seen Imon in more desperate need of a hug than when this episode ended rofl
I cant believe you guys were worrying about your reactions, yall did a GREAT job ! Loved this amazing and emotional ep
7:02 nearly everyone who have seen this scene for the 1st time tries to look over the shoulder
😂😂😂😂😂
The episode that breaks everybody. Also I LOVE in stories when you reach a point where you have no idea what could happen next. A testament of great writing
The intense atmosfere around Gon almost this entire Arc, the soundtrack, the visuals, a lot of feelings and things to understand in the same time, just remember about the conditions of Nen, is a thing the Gon know very well since Kurapika in Yorknew, he sacrifice his own Nen and life energy, he already know Bisky so as a enhancer he did the oposite of her and said: "I don't care anymore, I use everything".
Great that the hype not ruined this reaction, this was awesome and congrats in the edition.
Gon live in forest .
Kurapika live in city .
Killua live in kuroro mountain .
@@adventurebonni5 ???
@@Shurororu oh I just reliase where they favourite work where they rage .
IT'S FINALLY HERE ODMDHSJHD YASS
Loving this new Intro design. Thank you for the reaction Abi and Imon. I’ve enjoyed watching hunter x hunter and other shows because of you guys. Much love and positivity to you guys 🙏🤍
"His power is now equal to that of the king." Throws plushy in visibile confusion, anger, and genuine concern...lol
Now you guys know why everyone who meets gon, is terrified of his potential. He could have been this powerful if he trained hard for decades. He used the same technique as kurapika to unlock this power. He sacrifice all his future potential power while restricting it to only be used on pitou, that is why he became so powerful
thats what caught my attention. This gon is actually achievable through normal means which is truly scary because if hes equal to the king (from the last time pitous seen him), we know how powerful he. He was by far the strongest hunter we ever seen, I don't know know about in the future of the series though.
Crazy thing about this is I feel like he only sacrificed enough to defeat pitou at the time. If he trained for decades and achieved this on his own who knows how powerful he could of truly been. Just my theory. I could be wrong.
They're struggling so hard not to thirst on my boy Gon lol
Hisoka would be "screaming" XD
Literally my two favorite people with the most satisfying reactions.
When y’all started Hunter X Hunter I was waiting for this arc. This is just a tough episode to make it through. Gon is such a wholesome character and to see him with this much despair and pain is difficult.
I think those of us who had already watched HxH in the past were not at all worried about you guys not having a good reaction to this episode. If you are emotionally invested in the show and characters it's pretty much impossible not to have a genuine reaction to this episode. Also, the show itself builds to it very obviously so even though people told you guys in advance that the episode was going to be big, the show does that anyway. By the time you get here, you know something big is about to go down one way or another even without being told by outside sources. So there was really never any doubt, at least in my mind, that you guys would have full blown emotional reactions to this episode just like we all did the first time. Excellent reactions as always and I hope people don't use this episode as a reason why it's okay to spoil the episode number of the high point of a show in the future, because even though it doesn't mean much in this particular case, it's still not cool.
This is just one of the best arcs in anime history. Can't wait to see you finishing it up. Great reaction! Ours tears are always welcome for this!
Loved this reaction. I cried when you guys did, goes to show how attached I've gotten to you two.
Real fans cry! Thank u for ur honest reactions through all this years. This episode is just the best. Thats why we waited for it
I swear this episode gets me every time I watch it. Even when I think to myself “ I’m good. I’ve seen this before”, my emotions just can’t be contained... My to favorite characters in probably all of anime in a tug of war with who they are. I’m so glad you both got to experience this moment. This was my favorite anime moment of all time. And after seeing it again years later, it still reigns supreme. Great reaction video 🙏🏾
Gon sacrificed ALL of the nen he has ever had or will ever had for this moment. That's how he was able to be as strong as the King
this transformation always manages to bring to me to tears idk why. just the music and the emotion behind it is amazing
8:48 "I hope he rips off your arm"
Oh, the irony...
Lol right, at least he still killed her
Been silently watching you guys take this journey. I cried my eyes out the first time I saw this episode... cried my eyes out when y'all did. Y'all created an awesome community here. I came for the feels and stayed for the love of the crew posting with me. Love y'all... job well done and now we can be all cathartic and cry our eyes out together.
Beat reaction BY FAR, like you guys are super sincere and don't act like you own the shoe (as the other reactors do). Great vid, glad you enjoyed this!
Gon did what's called restriction & covenant/pledge. Same thing Kurapika did, but gave up more in order to achieve more power.
Bye Kite,
Bye Pitou,
Bye Gon.
Bye spiderman
Everywhere I go,all I see is Kite
Yen , don’t you hear yak yak yak?
@@yen6170 Who's kite again?, The most overrated character in this series
@@goddesssalem4842 not to Gon
That black and white scene with Hyori Ittai instrumental playing at the back gets me everytime :"
Imagine bacxk then when it was airing, you see this ending and has to wait a WEEK not knowing what happened...
It was gut wrenching...
15:45 I know it's late but abi comforts imon 😭
I was also shocked when I saw that chapter and said "yoshihiro togashi is a genius" XD
“he’s so in shock... he’s not processing anything” not knowing that was about to be u guys in a couple minutes😭😭
" I hope he rips off your arm."
*Pitou plays reverse uno card*
fun fact: in the manga, kite is the first character introduced. he leaves ging's badge for gon, which is the reason gon leaves to find ging
When Gon said he was happy to be like kite, he meant during when Pitou cut his arm off.
13:02 My thoughts exactly Abi! 🤣
I realy dislike People who still have so much hate for Pitou, meanwhile Gon is a complete sociapath and thats fine...
Pretty much everything about Gon's transformation is designed to be at least vaguely unsettling. From the ridiculously long hair to his clothes to having this hulking figure using Gon's childish rock-paper-scissors attacks.
This is one of the best episodes in anime's history.
The philosophy behind this episode is amazing. The meaning. Sometimes it's a little bit confusing when people see it for the first time, but I think you guys will be able to understand in the near future.
I've seen your reactions to other shows this was definitely the best one I've seen so far it was perfect and even I've seen this scene several times I actually felt watching this with you guys like it was the first time.
the difference is, buff bisky is her true appearance and she uses nen to disguise herself. gon made a contract with conditions to forcibly age himself and boost is own power in exchange for everything,
He's an Enhancer, so while having a breakdown the mind took over and gave him what he desired most at the time. He wanted power, and the mind made his body grow to a point where he can have that power.
Yall did a great job editing this episode and making the video
A lot of other youtubers kinda struggle a little bit with this one
IMON, baby girl!! This chapter is so emotional, I get teary eyed every single time.
I really felt the "What have they done to my boy!?" but yeah, Gon totally lost it.
Oh boy I have to keep up with you guys through the next few episodes. One of my favorite episodes in anime of all time. The slip of Gon into insanity. The arguing with himself about what is really happening and where to direct his rage. Then the emotion, music, and animation are amazing.
one of my favorites episodes, the feels get so real at the end with Killua screaming and the explosion afterwards. Your reactions was priceless
You are the first reactors who realise the pain going through Gon.
Yeah
Gon: I don't care if this is the end, so I'll use everything.
That is 'Contract & Limitations'. The following is a excerpt from wikipedia.
"A Nen user can enter into a Contract (誓約, Seiyaku) where, by pledging to follow certain Limitations (制約, Seiyaku), their abilities are strengthened in relation to how strict they are."
Oh god!
I discovered your channel just in one of my favourite anime episodes of all time!
I actually really like when reactors cry even if it interrupts the show. Like the time you did so for walking dead episode waaay back. I personally always watch people who analyze but also show extreme emotion which is why you two are among my top 4
Gon achieve that power the same way Kurapika gained power so quickly he made a vow to never use nen again to get the power he wanted to defeat Pitou and also vowed to use it only against Pitou. Just like how Kurapika vowed to only use his full power against the Phantom Troupe and if not he’ll die
Ur right in the gon part a little off on the kurapika part, his restriction was to only have some chains only useable on the phantom troupe like chain jail and judgement chain, which is what made them so strong.
Gon used his natural affinity to enhance his aging speed to a point where he’s in his prime while forfeitinf his own life in exchange for all the power he’ll ever have
The reason the tone shift was because it was showing dispair. The music, Gon even pitous continued attacks affected death. It's all dispair.
I've been waiting for ya'll to get this part and when you said, "Well, first of all kill her." I was dead. Love ya'll reactions and this one got me so geeked. I had to call my son up and thank him for putting me on to this one during this quarantine. We talked for hours about it and he was like, "Dad, I told you you'll be calling me back soon. " I replied, " I stand correct Josh, you were right. This series is lit."
This is the only channel who react to this episode that touched me. The last call from Killua is so sad.
I love how emotionally open you are. :) I cried too .
Im glad their opinion on pitou softened somewhat, they were one of my favorite characters in the arc and this episode has a lot more impact when you have sympathy for pitou, like in the discussion afterwards where they talked about gon repeatedly punching pitou and how that was disturbing, that was great because at least from my perspective, in this episode gon was the one in the wrong he was going down an incredibly dark path and he didnt care about anything anymore. That said this reaction was great you guys are one of my favorite reaction channels.
"is this a horror film?" 😂😂😂 Yeah for pitou
¿Qué si valió la pena? Ha valido cada maldito segundo
Si que lo valió
Al shile
sabia que no era el unico de habla hispana aca :v
Que onda plebes xd
Incluso fue divertido ver como Abi solo odiaba y le deseaba la muerte a Pitou, mientras que Imon estaba en shock
13:16 Killua's audible footsteps
When concern for a friend overcomes years of training and conditioning
Nen is all about how specific your task, and how much you're willing to give for it
People like Uvogin and Netero, they just want to be strong in general, they gotta work on it
Kurapika wanted an insane technique, but *IF* he used it on more than a dozen specific people, he'd be dead
Gon went all out, showing basically how far the covenant aspect could be pushed. There was no *IF*, he said "take my nen, take my body, take whatever, just give me 20 minutes of beating this cat's ass to a pulp and I don't care what happens after that", and Nen let him do exactly that. So much more interesting than series with 1:1 power levels
In all the reactions I’ve been to I haven’t seen a single person recognizing one fact about the chimera ants, they are newborn children. Regardless of their form or power they are only a few months old at best and are acting almost entirely on instinct as would a lion or a bear and yet nobody seems to realize or appreciate this and I see so many people reacting with such resentment for the ants especially Pitou when the life they have led and their eventual deaths are nothing short of tragic. Children without guidance torn between powerful instincts a developing sense of self, surely I am not the only one who realizes this right?
Because they’re born into adult bodies it takes a while to recognize that.
Your reactions were genuinely good, girls, you are so focused on the details, I love it
Holy crap that girl really hates Pitou lol.
You see. Even knowing it was coming YOU WERE NOT PREPARED! Love to you both x
Girls , i loved your reaction , it's the best
I've watched all reactions , and yours are the best .
You made me feel it .
I'm glad you guys enjoyed this episode despite the hype. Like me, your mouths were wide open with shock.
I can watch this episode thousands of times and I still get excited like the first time 🤧
lol, it's always great seeing people get so immersed in the scene that they physically lean to try and see around Pitou as the camera pans to show Gons "final form".
It wasn’t the hope that saved the day, but the despair to end it all. Hunterxhunter is crazy
my god..and your reaction made me cry too lol! loved you guys as always
Gon is the exact opposite of Thor, Gon always goes for the head
Love how there are always two types of people in this arc. Those who hate Pitou and those that hate Pouf (understandably so, but also understanding their absolute devotion to the king makes them easier to sympathize with imo).
The line ‘I’ll use everything’ explains his transformation. He made a condition with himself that if he can be strong enough to kill her, he’ll never use nen again
He made a condition to be able to use all his future potential.
