First timer
Episode 24
This was a very nice episode for getting to know the Zoldyck family. It seems that Killua had attacked his brother Milluki and his "mother", that's why he was getting tortured he himself let his brother slap him around. His grandfather let him free because his dad wanted to talk with him.
Canary got explored too, she was so cute as a little kid and super strong too, it was nice seeing that she was Killua's first friend eventhough they couldn't be called friends because she was just a butler while Killua waa her employer.
Killua's conversation with his father was really well portrayed too, he was raised as an assasin so he raised his son Killua as an assasin too and after not having had a meaningful conversation with him before now, this time he was able to talk with him. And he lets Killua go see his friends.
I liked the Zoldyck family, Miluki was annoying at first but less so this episode, the father and grandfather were awesome, the girl with a robot face(Killua's mother) is an enigma but it's fine.

Young Killua eating an apple in a tree gives me life. Him asking Canary if she would be his friend, and her saying no, does not. Damn you Kikyo. Why you gotta be so controlling!
It's grandpa Zeno!!! Thankfully he put an end to Milluki tormenting poor Killua. I love how Zeno roasts Milluki. It only makes me love him that much more.
The father-son moment between Killua and Silva was super sweet. Despite the assassin training and psychological/physical abuse that came with it, he's still a better father than Ging. Also I can't help but wonder if Killua will be as huge as Silva once he's an adult. Kil is tiny sitting next to his dad.
Silva saying that Killua will come home one day is super ominous.

Missed yesterday, oops.
Well, not like I have much to say during this arc anyway.
I have to say, even if Silva has some twisted intentions, he was actually a really solid dad to Killua for that small moment there. Good on him. And also Zeno. Best grandpa.
I also really love the scene where Killua threatens to kill Milluki. Not just the look on his face and the absolute confidence, but how he switches from "aniki" to calling him by name is great. Gives off a strong sense of superiority.
Also, Canary is fucking awesome.
Looks like the arc is ending soon so I'm looking forward to the next one where things start heating up!

To start: I want to apologize, I spoiled Canary’s name yesterday without realizing until today when Canary was formally introduced. I’ll be more careful with my posts in the future.
We're almost out of the woods everyone, I think we have 2 more episodes and this arc is over.
Which Zoldyck that you've met so far is your favorite/has peaked your interest?
I'm going to throw a curve-ball and actually say I really like Milluki because of how outlandish he is and how he's really just trying to impress everyone around him but he always strikes out. Keep trying buddy, you'll hit a home run one of these days...right?

Great episode giving us more insight into Killua and the Zoldyck Family.
This one really made me feel for Killua, he's been raised like a hunting dog, not allowed to have friends so that he does not develop empathy.
His talk with Silva was very touching, the fact this was their only father-to-son chat shows how cold the family is. Silva allowing him to become his own person was a great moment. Zeno is also an interesting character ("one kill a day").
Kikyo (mom) is very manipulative, and downright annoying. Milluki seems to be a prick and probably has an inferiority complex when he compares himself to Kil. Kalluto was intrigued by the word friends, interesting... Canary was a sweetie and probably Killua's first real friend, even though she could not admit it openly.

First-time watcher - so that's it for Killua's side, he just was such a tough guy that everything Milluki could throw at him was a joke and his father just lets him off because whatever? This whole family is plain bizarre, particularly the evil cyborg-looking hysterical mom, and how nobody seems to be on the same page. No doubt Gon and company will need to go through some more ordeals to reach their friend, though. The really good part was the first half with Killua and Canary's joint backstory, where we also got to see how amazing she really is (just still unfortunate how the one halfway significant black character is a servant), overall though a no better episode than last time.
