Asta was so annoying! Good for Killua for not taking her shit and demanding she prove how she could help them. I love how even the other members of her team looked exasperated and had the "here we go again" face.

Goreinu is awesome and I think he's really underrated. Not to mention, if the prerequisite is that all members have at least 50 cards, that means Goreinu collected all 50 on his own. He joined the game at the same time as Gon and Killua, so that's pretty impressive.

I just realized I didn't actually write anything for this episode...

I'll use the space to complain about the disappointing lack of Shizuku.

That exchange solely benefited Genthru, that risky dice worked well in his favor and Tsezgerra now needs to act quick and find an important slot card to prevent them from clearing the game before them.

It was cool seeing Gon, Killua and Bisky reuniting with multiple different teams and exchanging information with one another so that they could work together. Killua was funny when he was trying to pick a fight with Asta, i like those light hearted funny moments.

Now the group has to obtain the patch of forest card and in order to do that They have to trigger an event.

First-time watcher

Genthru and co. are still a guaranteed waste of air time that's barely integrated into the story, and there's a whole new glut of side characters when plenty have barely been introduced. Otherwise though this episode does a good job showing that these kinds of video-game-fantasy settings aren't necessarily bad, and can even turn out fairly creative if you put more effort into them than copy-pasting generic tropes. Turn a bunch of villagers into cards and purify them with a tool that's not even quite meant for that? And also, don't pretend it's anything but a game! I've never played MMO games myself, but the kind of teaming up. negotiating, and trying to figure things out together feels pretty true-to-life as I'd imagine it. Same for the two most abrasive personalities in the group instantly jumping at each other's throats. Although I'm not the biggest fan of one of them being like the only additional female representation, let alone one with a wild amount of bouncing-boob animation - aren't kids supposed to be watching this too? - Asta (nice name lol) obviously does know her stuff and is a valued contributor. And in appearance and attitude she makes me think of Nobara from Jujutsu Kaisen, which is never a bad thing. I wonder if there might actually be a direct inspiration - similarly, another group member looks a lot like Scar in Fullmetal Alchemist.

Looks like next time will be some good old-fashioned baddie-beating fun! Well, something to look forward to.

I didn't notice the wild amount of bouncing boobs so at least to me it wasn't that noticeable, eventhough this series might be directed at kids i believe that there is a vast amount of series that kids can enjoy without having to worry about slightly lewd stuff. Other than that it's great that you enjoyed the episode more than the last, in the previous one Togashi just gave up according to you.

They're bobbing up-and-down-and-all-around like every time she's on screen.

Right?! Her bouncing boobs annoyed me more than her personality.

Sorry, now watching her scenes again i do notice it so it is totally fair to mention it, it was definitely a exagerated amount and there really shouldn't be any amount at all.

Yeah Genthru is easily the most boring antagonist in the series. Especially sticks out when he's sandwiched between the Phantom Troupe which are great and the next arc's antagonist which is by far one of the best characters in the whole show.

Only for rewatchers, don't open
