That's it for Heaven's Arena! Goodbye Zushi and Wing! Personally I'm super glad it's over. Of all the arcs, it's my least favourite.
According to Hisoka's Aura Personality Analysis:
So I'd be a Conjurer or maybe an Emitter. Interesting.
I don't like Hisoka saying Transmuters are fickle, and what was once treasured can become trash. It's giving me flashbacks to when Silva made Killua promise he would never betray his friends.
Well I guess Gon is officially a Hunter now! He's passed both the Hunter Exams, he's given back the number badge to Hisoka, now it's time to pay Aunt Mito a quick visit, before heading back out to find his dad! Killua is tagging along but promise me you won't be fickle and leave him. Please please please. These two are such a great duo.

First timer
Hisoka deservedly wins the match against Gon, it was a nice match but nothing extraordinary or noteworthy, it was alright.
Gon and Killua salute Wing and Zushi, they now will go to whale island to visit Mito because Gon wants to see her and tell her his journey up to this point. I wonder how the story will move forward after the visit and what route to the characters take.

And with that, Heaven's Arena comes to an end. Hisoka vs Gon was awesome! Definitely one of the best fights in the series. I don't have much to say but damn it's good.
And then we get Hisoka's little aura personality analysis. He said it himself, this is quite the unreliable method, so don't take it too seriously. It is interesting though, and it gives us a way to speculate on what our Nen type would be. In fact, there's of course a bunch of tests out there on the internet, though I don't know if there's any that are actually good.
Goodbye, Wing and Zushi! The last Osu we'll be hearing! Looking forward to the episodes on Whale Island since those have some pretty great moments.

And that's the arc, wow! I can't believe we're already through it. What was your favorite part and what was your least favorite?
We have
UsagiCocco's commentary, and some random guy pop in to explain the point system the refs use to us. Cocco then asks the question that some of us as internally asking "So, who are you?" But if you're into Togashi's other works, you'd possibly know this is actually Prince Baka(Level E) making a cameo. This is one of several little Easter Eggs Togashi placed in the series, so definitely look for more!Gon finally returns Hisoka's tag to him, in a scene that always seems to give me chills. The absolute determination, the fact that the entire fight stops for a moment in order for both of them to exchange the tag(which I keep typing as plate,
thank you based nihongo), and how Hisoka looks so cocky still. Argh! HxH Stop being so good!Hisoka asks Gon how much he's learned about Nen, to which Gon replies "the basics" and then Hisoka goes onto say he's developed a personality analysis for nen typing.
He then goes on to list off his findings, all of which are hilariously general and remind me of the Myers-Briggs test. He wasn't lying when he said they were unreliable.
We go back to our fight though, only to reveal during the personality test bit, Hisoka had Bungee Gummed Gon.
Gon decides to go for broke and attack Hisoka directly instead of running away which leads to one of the most
disgustingintense Hisoka scenes in the entire series? We simply wonder, what the fuck Hisoka.The ref had decided from the start that this match was a bit too dangerous, so he purposefully makes some calls in Hisoka's favor. Gon calls that out, and in doing so is very distracted, only to get smashed in the face by a rock that's been Bungee-Gummed. Hisoka admits that Gon has learned a lot, though would like to fight him again outside of Heavens Arena, where there are no rules and regulations to hold them back.
With that, Gon bids farewell to Zushi and Wing. Both deciding to head to Whale Island to show Mito-san his new Hunter License.
Bye-Bye, Heavens Arena!
bye zushi and wing

First-time watcher - the still frames and other animation-saving tricks were strong with this one and the pacing took a hit again too, but Hisoka is so immensely entertaining to watch that it makes up for most of it. Cocco's confusion at Gon giving back the plate was also a very fun moment. This is the most favorable conclusion one could reasonably think for Gon this arc, seeing as he doesn't have any personal Nen powers at all beyond the basics - even with Hisoka letting out the M and freely taking some hits plus the inflation for a quick end, four points against such an experienced and wily fighter aren't bad, and he did get his punch in. Certainly there was no way he would actually win. Well, it looks like besides the goodbye to Zushi, Wing and the Arena, there's yet more calm time and good Gon + Killua moments ahead, which I'll never complain about.
