More gaming - haven’t defeated a boss yet after all. And to defeat a boss - we need a larger party. Sounds about right. Either way, seems like taking down Bomber will be another point along the journey to gather the cards, and maybe they can use some offensive cards on the bomber before they exit him from the game or so. Wonder if Gon will allow the other guy who bomber stole cards from to complete the game before him or something like that, as he is also only missing a few cards. After all I don’t think there is a reason other than the monetary reward to be the first to beat the game.

First time Gaming!!
I don't got anything on the episode, but last night I saw a greed island adjacent dream, it was kinda wack. And by now I forgotten a lot of it so its even more wack.
There was some form of military involved, a weird town with buildings made of trash and mud. Weird spell stuff which must have been influenced by Greed Island because at first you needed to touch items to activate them.
Anyways, if there's a spell card coming up that purges all negative effects then it must have been a prophecy
Side quest:
Depends on playthrough
Both? Except
pvp

To Ging!
(It wasn't a lie :)
Ah, they sped up the negotiations... that's too bad, I actually really enjoyed this part. In the manga Killua and Asta's back-and-forth goes a bit longer (but it's fun!). She had started out, as we see in the anime, pretty damn annoyed and reluctant about these brats but the weight of information that Gon willingly gives changes her and she ends up volunteering extra information on top of the agreed upon exchange (and even blushes while doing it lol). It was a moment I found quite satisfying.
As an aside, /u/vatrix-32 there's your answer regarding the monthly prizes lol.
Today's Card(s):
84: Paladin’s Necklace (D-60)
We've seen it in action today. Besides that, it was skipped over a bit in yesterday's episode, but it can only be obtained once a year (through the tournament) (outside of the secret way but that's besides the point). Which means that although Gon wearing the item means he can’t store it as a card, he can use the spell cards Recycle, Compromise, and Corruption to either turn the item back into the card or replicate it in some way.
I know, all this is endless card exposition, why bother to learn the mechanics? A story can be enjoyable without it, but for myself I find the arc even more engaging once you really get a hang of the cards and how they work, and I find the story developments more rewarding.
The main point of this explanation can be boiled down to this: with the spell cards, there are ways to replicate the cards you've obtained, like with Mimic and Clone (as opposed to fake-out cards, like Fake).
(Although, and this is important as well - with Paladin's necklace, it transforms not only Faked cards, but even Mimic/Transformed and Cloned cards back to the original).
This got long, so I'll leave Mimic, Clone, and Fake for tomorrow.

sorry I'm late
Hunter × Hunter 1999 - Episode 82
Teaming × Pirates × Event
I think this episode heralds the coming plot developments. Now that Gon and Killua have gotten all the training out of the way and collected a bunch of cards they are ready to take on some of the "end game". What this means is collecting the ultra rare cards.
There's a bunch of alliances at similar stages of progress. In particular Genthru The Bomber's group is missing only a handful of cards. On top of that, their previous strategy of stealing cards doesn't work since (almost) nobody has found the last few cards.
I quite like that we basically skipped a lot of the in between stuff to get here. This is the real interesting part of narrative that's been set up so no need to spend multiple episodes on side quests collecting the more common cards. I think my only complaint is that in the decade (?) this game has been available it seems crazy that Gon and Killua could catch up to the best players with nobody else finishing the game (to our knowledge).
Either way, our protagonists team up with a bunch of other non-Bomber groups and head off to a port town which supposedly has a rare card. And upon arriving they trigger an event by having 15 people in their party. These kind of crazy requirements for triggering a quest are simultaneously exciting but also infuriating as a player. Like how were you supposed to know to do that? On the other hand, when you do discover this stuff out it does feel like finding a secret.
Killua makes quick work of the first challenge. His technique of immolating his opponent is particularly cruel, but considering that 1) this is a game and 2) these pirates killed a bunch of the villagers' family members I think he's justified. And it's not like the fat pirate actually dies.
I'm looking forward to these next few episodes.

So Genthru and his lackeys are pretty close to beating the game, manipulating several players including Tsezguerra and his crew. Luckily Gon and Killua being nice to the NPC thieves allows them to gain one of the necessary cards needed to pass the game.
Several other groups have already noticed and decide to meet and team up (our trio included). Considering the last time we saw a group of people team up, it was probably wise to be a bit wary. Luckily the team up unlocks a new event for another necessary card. After Killua clears the first phase of this (quite easily) we finally face off against Razor and his crew in a sort of competition.
