I love Hisoka’s eye movement. After Gon vanishes for a second, he assumes he went behind him, then looked back to his front. Neat detail. Great animation.
The first part of this fight did have music. Its those little flutters in the background and the very slow ramping up of ambiance that gives gravity to the incredible tension that Gon is facing when first going against Hisoka. It is just enough to make the watcher feel fear and anxiety as our protagonist faces off a seemingly overwhelmingly-strong foe.
The absolute attention to detail in this fight gets me every time. Nen is always sense in concentration around the characters until Gon uses Zetsu to hide his nen so Hisoka cant detect him. This isnt the most flashy fight, and literally there are only a few hits actually shared but its the characters, abilities, and watchers knowledge that make this such an goated fight scene.
I love how Hisoka remembers what he told Gon during the hunter exam and let's Gon give him his tag number back after he punches him. This will always be some of my favourite scenes in the show
Things to remember about Hunter X Hunter: 1. Great storyline. 2. Amazing animation. 3. Chimera Ant Arc is the best. 4. Bungee Gum posseses the properties of both rubber and gum.
The scene at 0:21 is insanely good direction. The way the light shifts all around Gon's face and the background moving in a disorienting way is amazing.
@@coldestt7 How about you mind your own business and go back where you came from? This man makes and excellent point and it seems like you want attention. Go Home. To respond to that Sakuga thing, This is one of my favorite animated fights ever and I definitely agree that it has spectacular direction.
The sequence at 1:06 is even better from a choreography standpoint. I've never seen a fight scene actually incorporate broken rhythm before and it really gives it a very tangible feel.
@@leighelms97 it's a concept in boxing and other combat sports. Basically when you're fighting, there's going to be a certain rhythm established between you and your opponent with the strikes, head movement, footwork, etc. At the highest levels of the sport, who wins can be almost completely determined by who controls the rhythm. And the way to do this is by recognizing your rhythm and your opponent's and then "breaking" your own in some way. It's just a way of timing your strikes and movements in a way that's difficult for your opponent to predict. And it can be used for offensive and defensive purposes. In the clip, hisoka established a rhythm that gon kept dodging so he broke it and caught gon very cleanly. Hope that helps.
Yes... I had many fav animes from naruto dbz one piece aot.... But hxh was always in the top... Because its for all ages.. Seriousness and fun.. Brutal sometimes and has tactical but in sae time enjoyful combat something you dont see often
Best Power System and Scaling currently!!!! Never seen Shounen characters go on a REALISTIC Grind like Gon and Killua. It gave you those Goku early dragon ball vibes except for the cliche power creep of Goku always beating the villains single handedly. So yes they followed Yusuke's model perfectly.
@Ben Dover HxH does not use swear words, they don’t have weird inappropriate scenes like in other Shounen animes, they have funny moments and childish things, they also have less blood than the other two animes. (Also, the blood doesn’t look as realistic and everything as AOT)
2:44 I love this little attention to detail, Gon during the fight, his aura is visible (Nen), but at this moment he conceals his aura (Zetsu) to conceal himself from Hisoka, his aura disappears, then it reappears when he punches him. Madhouse knocked it out of the park with this Adaptation.
There is an even more insane minimal element during this battle that Madhouse portrayed. It's when Hisoka throws his aura on the stone that will hit Gon's face. At one point when Hisoka explains what happened there is a brief flash back where you can see the exact memento in which Hisoka does this. Insane.
I'm just here to remind everyone that HxH has one of the most underrated soundtracks in anime. You almost don't notice it the majority of the time, but that's because it's so well used to just immerse you in the experience. First the tense violin at the beginning, then the orchestral crescendo and victory. Amazing
@@bigmiki2620 I’m convinced it’s an unreleased track because I’ve listened to the entire ost and haven’t heard anything that resembles that ambient, tense sound. Which is a shame because it’s so damn good and plays again when Killua tries to escape Phinks.
@@k1qzTV greed island? I thought it was long and tbh it was kinda boring In my opinion Yorknew City & Heaven’s Arena are the best ones I also enjoyed Chimera ants arc :)

Legit everything up to 1:30 is some of the best fight scene direction I've seen in any anime. It's fast-paced with no dialogue breaks for explanations. Everything is easy to follow and understand, but a feeling of chaos is still maintained throughout the scene. This is some really great anime direction, and I'm surprised more people don't talk about it.
Yeah this is cool and all, but don't let it distract you from the most important part of this battle Bungee Gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum
The fact that they had such a respectable exchange for a minute was great. Of course there’s a difference in strength, but Gon is so creative and clever that i’m mesmerized by the choreography. Probably one of the top 10 anime hand to hand fights I’ve seen.
You gotta love the attention to detail, during the entire fight you can see a slight aura around both gon and hisoka, but when gon was hiding his aura disappeared showing that he was using zetsu
I love that he nails him in the face using pretty much the exact technique he used to steal the badge. Completely erased his presence and then attacks from a blind spot.
This fight has probably the best animation of the serie. I mean Meruem vs Netero is legendary but this first exchange of hits without any cut is amazing
This fight was so peak. I loved the fast combat with no music, made it feel super intense and serious. Makes you hold your breath. Amazing directing here.
THIS anime, dude. When Gon tried some feints on him, the animators did the job and animated Hisoka's eyes to see behind him, even when his head didn't move. THAT'S why this anime is legendary, all of it it's gorgeous.
The little animation after Hisoka gets hit and his eyes shift slowly from nothing towards Gon is brilliant story telling IMO. You can see Hisoka’s interest in Gon grow in that moment. Brilliant use of animation to further the story. 👍

I think one of my favorite nods in this fight is that when Gon breaks the rubble and hides from Hisoka, you can see that he's using Zetsu from the lack of aura around him. And Hisoka only notices when he reactivates his Aura Shroud. This series, man.
The score for the beginning of the fight is what makes this fight so fantastic. The first minute and a half you're on the edge just watching the insane exchange. The intensity is next level.
This comment section 5% : talking about actually fight scene and how good the show is 95% : *did you know? Bungee gum possesses both the power of elastic and gum*
I swear if I have to hear that comment about bungee gum possesses both the power of elastic and gum IM GONNA ... side note do you know that bungee gum possesses both the power of elastic and gum
Exactly Idk why, by like no one puts this moment on the lists of greatest intense battle scenes, even though it's probably the best fight ever. I've never enjoyed watching an anime battle as much as i did with this single one.
0:18 Another detail no one talks about. When Hisoka swipes at Gon the camera slights goes down a little before going up again meaning Gon dodged it by ducking his head
@@faustovii1085 Most of their skilled animators left to found their own studio, MAPPA. Madhouse is still a good animation studio, but they consist of new staff now.
When I recommend HxH, I always ask them to watch until Ep. 35 for this fight. If they don’t enjoy anything that far, HxH most likely isn’t for you. This fight is truly amazing.
I love when movies/tv shows for fight scenes will have minimal soundtrack under fights, and simply let the hits speak volume. Makes the whole fight a more immersive experience. 10/10
the beginning of this fight is absolutely breathtaking. they could not have done it any better. the lack of music is brilliant, as well as the choreography
Thats such a cool technique. Gon's flurry of feints was just to rev up Hisoko's perception then he doges to the left to test his reaction time. Thats a cool touch
I love how Togashi hinted a lot that the battle is over when Gon gets a clean hit just to not only give the punch at the first minutes, but to make after that one of the best underdog battles of all time.
This is still one of the best fighting scenes in anime. The way they don’t stop fighting and try to diss each other, the way that you don’t know what the character is thinking, the way it’s completely silent, no music. That’s how you build up the intensity of a fight. I’m mostly talking about 0:00 - 1:21
More animes need to take this approach. Nothing irritates me more than a brief exchange followed by 10 minutes of exposition on HOW they pulled it off. Like bruh 😒, get back to the hand throwing
@@geewhizz8588 yeah, i know right. Also i don’t need to keep hearing their thoughts on what they’re going to do next. Sometimes it’s even more exciting if you don’t know what comes next.
I love that they show the aura in this fight so that you notice when Gon has used zetsu, and then when Hisoka notices and turns around, Gon is using ten again to enhance his strength.
I love fights like this in shows where it showcases the actual fighting skill and techniques of the comabatants and isn't just about flashy crazy special attacks and huge beam clashes.
00:45 i just noticed that hisoka went for slicing gon with bare hand, gon noticed that and retreated there. After that also hisoka noticed it and kept calm. damn..
The first scene makes you feel like your are in the silent audience watching the fight but when the first point is given you either erupt with the audience or sit/lay back in amazement as to what you just witnessed , This is one of the best arcs of the series and solidified my love for Hunter X Hunter (if you watch the series for the first time this scene is even better due to build up to this moment)
Man. I forgot just how awesome this fight is. This was the point when HXH went from an above average Shonen to something special, and it only got better from here.
This scene, is nuts... The sound design, the choreography, the animation itself too... It has this feeling of a continuous rush and its crazy, the silence in the room, the sound of just white noise and attacks exchanging. Gon quickly rebounding, keeping up with the sense of rush.... Its nuttty.
@@mightguy3118 I know lol Killua as he stands has no chance against Illumi! Why do you think he tried to run away from Illumi to get to the hospital with Alluka instead of trying to fight him lol. Even he knows he is no match for him now. Killua is a smart kid!
this is why i love og DB and HxH bc they have one common thread: most of the fights are about outsmarting your opponent with wit and tactics and not just I'm stronger bc of a powerup or the power of friendship
Gon fights so amazingly. I can tell if he was hisoka's age or even went hard as a man and forfeited his childhood storyline, he would have the world on notice.
This is so well animated. Just watched this episode the other day and had to come back and watch it again here because hot DAMN that is some smooth animation, and you can really feel the tension.
The 1999 version had great animation, but I gotta admit this version just has better overall directing. They really nailed the intense nature of the first half of the fight
hisoka really is a well developped anime character, like a really good one, i think he would fall onto the category chaotic neutral, while gon would be a chaotic good, but overall

That’s actually such a good detail, never realized it until you pointed it out.
He's looking at those positions first because gon's a kid and the inexperienced tend to make those predictable mistakes.
Leaving the first part of this fight with no music was absolutely genius, made it feel so much more intense, still one of my favorites.

The score for the beginning of the fight is what makes this fight so fantastic. The first minute and a half you're on the edge just watching the insane exchange. The intensity is next level.
Ah yes, Hunter x Hunter the only anime who makes you miss it even when you just finished it
I swear HunterxHunter doesn’t get old bro, same feelings everytime
Cough *Attack on Titan* Cough
Only anime?
Like every anime I’ve ever watched but whatever
Parasyte, Soul Eater, Kengan Ashura, etc. man
This comment section
5% : talking about actually fight scene and how good the show is
95% : *did you know? Bungee gum possesses both the power of elastic and gum*
I swear if I have to hear that comment about bungee gum possesses both the power of elastic and gum IM GONNA ...
side note do you know that bungee gum possesses both the power of elastic and gum
But how did gon do those feinrs
Hisoka: "I haven't moved a step from where I began"
Gon: *TEARS UP FLOOR*
the beginning was the best fight scene in anime, it was on sight for a minute straight and hisoka aint even move once
Exactly
Idk why, by like no one puts this moment on the lists of greatest intense battle scenes, even though it's probably the best fight ever. I've never enjoyed watching an anime battle as much as i did with this single one.
0:18 Another detail no one talks about. When Hisoka swipes at Gon the camera slights goes down a little before going up again meaning Gon dodged it by ducking his head
the way hisoka literally could have killed gon but chose not to is so crazy
Ikr
I noticed that too
He didn’t want to waste all of that “potential”
no its not. ...what? hes the main character in an anime.
Easily.....
Favorite fight in HxH, you can see the determination and the way Gon constantly keeps on the offensive. Perfect representation of his character
2011 and the animation, colours and light are still awesome. MadHouse is an amazing studio.
Was* an amazing studio
@@DarkM00n575 Wait what? What happened with them?
@@faustovii1085 Most of their skilled animators left to found their own studio, MAPPA. Madhouse is still a good animation studio, but they consist of new staff now.
@@Manganization ohh... you can clearly realize about it when you compare Hunter X Hunter and One Punch Man S2 I think
@@faustovii1085 One Punch Man S2 was from the studio JC Staff. Madhouse did not handle season 2.
0:13 through 1:16
perfect music perfect sound effects perfect hits and most of all perfect voice acting
When I recommend HxH, I always ask them to watch until Ep. 35 for this fight. If they don’t enjoy anything that far, HxH most likely isn’t for you. This fight is truly amazing.
The chimara ant arc just itself a masterpiece
I love when movies/tv shows for fight scenes will have minimal soundtrack under fights, and simply let the hits speak volume. Makes the whole fight a more immersive experience. 10/10
the beginning of this fight is absolutely breathtaking. they could not have done it any better. the lack of music is brilliant, as well as the choreography
Thats such a cool technique. Gon's flurry of feints was just to rev up Hisoko's perception then he doges to the left to test his reaction time. Thats a cool touch
I love how Togashi hinted a lot that the battle is over when Gon gets a clean hit just to not only give the punch at the first minutes, but to make after that one of the best underdog battles of all time.
This is still one of the best fighting scenes in anime. The way they don’t stop fighting and try to diss each other, the way that you don’t know what the character is thinking, the way it’s completely silent, no music. That’s how you build up the intensity of a fight. I’m mostly talking about 0:00 - 1:21
More animes need to take this approach. Nothing irritates me more than a brief exchange followed by 10 minutes of exposition on HOW they pulled it off. Like bruh 😒, get back to the hand throwing
@@geewhizz8588 yeah, i know right. Also i don’t need to keep hearing their thoughts on what they’re going to do next. Sometimes it’s even more exciting if you don’t know what comes next.
Second only to Gaara v Rock Lee
0:26 hisoka looking like “where u going b**ch”🤣
I like how they didn’t use music for the first part it just made the scene more epic
One of my favorite fight scenes in all of anime. First time I saw it, I replayed it like a dozen times in pure awe.
This is one of my fave scenes in the show. It's so well animated and also satisfying to see, it's so dynamic
I love that they show the aura in this fight so that you notice when Gon has used zetsu, and then when Hisoka notices and turns around, Gon is using ten again to enhance his strength.
I love fights like this in shows where it showcases the actual fighting skill and techniques of the comabatants and isn't just about flashy crazy special attacks and huge beam clashes.
00:45 i just noticed that hisoka went for slicing gon with bare hand, gon noticed that and retreated there. After that also hisoka noticed it and kept calm. damn..
The details tho...
well...yes
He remembered he was going against a little kid
It was a test. If Gon didn't react or anticipate it properly, hisoka wouldn't have cared if he killed him there.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that bungee gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum.
The Star on his Cheek is CLEARLY A JOJO REFERENCE
The first scene makes you feel like your are in the silent audience watching the fight but when the first point is given you either erupt with the audience or sit/lay back in amazement as to what you just witnessed , This is one of the best arcs of the series and solidified my love for Hunter X Hunter (if you watch the series for the first time this scene is even better due to build up to this moment)
Man. I forgot just how awesome this fight is.
This was the point when HXH went from an above average Shonen to something special, and it only got better from here.
This scene, is nuts... The sound design, the choreography, the animation itself too... It has this feeling of a continuous rush and its crazy, the silence in the room, the sound of just white noise and attacks exchanging. Gon quickly rebounding, keeping up with the sense of rush.... Its nuttty.
Gon is legit levitating this whole match
When you fight your big brother:
So this fight will happen again when Killua fights Illumi? Lol
@@watergirl929 If killua fought illumi it would be like when sasuke first fought itachi.Killua fans really think killua can beat illumi lol
@@mightguy3118 I know lol Killua as he stands has no chance against Illumi! Why do you think he tried to run away from Illumi to get to the hospital with Alluka instead of trying to fight him lol. Even he knows he is no match for him now. Killua is a smart kid!
@@mightguy3118 Hi, Guy sensei
@@remindepoadje7142 Hi :)
this is why i love og DB and HxH bc they have one common thread: most of the fights are about outsmarting your opponent with wit and tactics and not just I'm stronger bc of a powerup or the power of friendship
i miss that about DB (even early DBZ). Strategy matters 😂
Bleach Fans: Sick! We're getting a new season! Can't wait, what about yo-
Hunter Fans: 0:32
Dam this hit harder than that time my bully punched my sack
HxH fans are waiting for 6 years
Hahaha! Maybe next year?
HxH: 0:41
I love how sailor moon is commentating on this amazing fight (:
Actually the mangaka of sailor moon is the wife of togashi
BRUH HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE
ya should have hired joe rogan instead.
Gon fights so amazingly. I can tell if he was hisoka's age or even went hard as a man and forfeited his childhood storyline, he would have the world on notice.
This is so well animated. Just watched this episode the other day and had to come back and watch it again here because hot DAMN that is some smooth animation, and you can really feel the tension.
The intense music with white noise as gon is just firing all his attacks is so damn good
That eye roll Hisoka does as he’s taking the punch gets me every time. He’s salivating.
The 1999 version had great animation, but I gotta admit this version just has better overall directing. They really nailed the intense nature of the first half of the fight
This was actually the part/episode which made me fell in love with the anime.
SAME I WAS WATCHING IT BUT LIKE I DIDNT PAY MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL THIS FIGHT I literally got obsessed after this
Best anime fight ever. No useless commentary, no pauses
Chills went down my spine when hisoka got back up
hisoka really is a well developped anime character, like a really good one, i think he would fall onto the category chaotic neutral, while gon would be a chaotic good, but overall
Favourite anime episode ending ever. The hit, Kiluas smirk, When the outro music hits after the staredown, to quote Hisoka "Uuuaaahhhhhhh"
I love how hisoka hit gon with those high low mix ups in the beginning that was so clean
This anime is just too beautiful honestly, the day the rest of it is animated is gonna be a day to celebrate
Ar D 👍🏼
That stone flip part was nasty. Gon is goated
The way they animated Hisoka's eyes christ they really nailed the perviness
